My experience with HR in the private sector is appalling. One operative took all the money allocated for raises and gave all of it to themselves while denigrating several top performers. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Dummercrats are going to lose in 2026 and, without a change in attitude, 2028 also. They keep putting up “machine” politicians, rather than people who have a higher chance of winning. It’s sad.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

5th Cir. holds that, in 2022 redistricting, Louisiana “packed” black voters into a small number of majority-black districts and “cracked” other black communities across multiple districts in violation of VRA § 2.

www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

S.B. 1 and H.B. 14 do not contain a proportional number of majorityminority districts to the percentage of Black voting-age people in Louisiana.
Twenty-nine out of one hundred and five House districts are majority BVAP
(27.61%), and eleven out of thirty-nine Senate districts are majority BVAP
(28.20%). Census data established that 33.13% of the state is Black, meaning
that neither map effectuates proportionality.
24 In Johnson, where the Court
found substantial proportionality, the Hispanic population constituted 50%
of the voting-age population in Dade County, and the enacted map would
provide Hispanic supermajorities in nine out of eighteen districts. Id. at 1014.
This case more closely mirrors LULAC, where the Court stated that Latinos
made up 22% of the population but only 16% of the Latino opportunity
districts, “two districts shy of proportional representation.” 548 U.S. at 438.
The LULAC Court did not find these figures to effectuate proportionality.
Rather, it stated that it “need not decide whether the two-district deficit in
these cases weighs in favor of a § 2 violation” because that fact would not
“overcome the other evidence of vote dilution for Latinos in District 23.” Id.
This case, with a 5–6% proportionality gap, mirrors LULAC (~6%). Far from
“guarantee[ing] a political feast,” the district court’s proportionality analysis
correctly found that the maps did not effectuate proportionality and that this
