One of the surprising aspects of the American electoral system is that while regular gerrymandering is frowned upon, racial gerrymandering is actually required by law. Meaning that if you redraw a congressional district to benefit your political party, you might get criticized for it, but that’s about all. Under certain circumstances, however, if you redraw a state’s congressional districts and don’t go out of your way to give more weight to minorities, then that is actually illegal. Essentially, states have to consider race when apportioning their congressional districts.

At least, they have to for now—because it looks like the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to change this soon.

Let’s go through the details together.

With midterm elections coming up next year, GOP state lawmakers in Texas are taking action. In a newly designed congressional redistricting map, they created five new right-leaning districts—the populations of which voted for Trump in the last presidential election.

Texas Democrats fled the state in order to avoid voting on the map, but warrants for their arrests have now been issued.

Let’s go through the details of this drama together.

On July 23, Alina Habba, the acting U.S. Attorney for the state of New Jersey, released a statement regarding a former Atlantic City official who was being sentenced to 2 years behind bars for the crime of submitting fake mail-in ballots.

He was found guilty for his role in the procurement, casting, and tabulation of fraudulent mail-in ballots submitted in connection with the general election on Nov. 8, 2022.

The man in question is a political organizer and former president of Atlantic City’s city council—Craig Callaway. His story is quite interesting—because not only does it highlight a concrete example of major ballot fraud, but also, it shows us how this type of fraud cuts across party lines—being used by both Republicans and Democrats.

We covered this story briefly when the charges against Callaway first came to light last year. Now let’s go through the details of his election operations in Atlantic City.

Let’s go through the most recent update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding Long COVID—and then crunch some numbers to see how many people might be collecting disability payments for it.

With a new Department of Agriculture report showing a nationwide cattle shortage—alongside a corresponding spike in the price of ground beef—let’s examine the monopoly that’s developed in the beef processing sector and how it’s affecting American ranchers.

An audio recording of President Donald Trump was recently leaked, in which the president claimed to have threatened Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping that he would bomb Beijing if China invaded Taiwan.

The leak came as tensions continue to grow in the Asia-Pacific region, with the Chinese regime acting with ever more aggression and increasing its air and sea incursions into Taiwan’s air defense identification and exclusive economic zones.

Let’s listen to the audio recording, and then go through the details of what actions both Taiwan and China are currently engaged in.

On Friday, July 18, the Trump administration formally announced that the United States will be rejecting a certain World Health Organization agreement. Specifically, this was an agreement that U.S. officials say would have granted the WHO certain powers over America in the event of another pandemic. Let’s go through the details together.

In Pennsylvania, 3 former local officials have been sentenced to prison for their roles in a scheme to steal a local mayoral election.

The scheme involved dozens of individuals having their identities used, both wittingly and unwittingly, to request mail-in ballots and cast fraudulent votes.

Let’s go through the details of the scheme together, as well as how it was ultimately uncovered by the authorities.

Unbeknownst to most people, Japan recently released its 12th batch of radioactive nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean.

This latest batch of discharge weighed approximately 7,800 tons, or around 15.6 million pounds.

Including this latest batch, it means that Japan has dumped an estimated 86,000 tons of nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean thus far. This sounds like a lot, but it’s actually only the beginning. Its plan is to continue doing this for the next 30 years, and in the process, dump roughly 1.3 million tons of nuclear wastewater.

The reason for this stems from what happened 14 years ago, during the Fukushima nuclear disaster. That was when an earthquake and subsequent tsunami caused a near meltdown of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.

The disaster led to the contamination of a million tons of water.

For the past 14 years, Japan has kept this water inside the plant, where it has been slowly treating it. But it ran out of space. Therefore, the Japanese government began to slowly release this treated radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean.

Let's go through the full story, as well as what the latest research has found, in terms of the effects that this wastewater is having on the local marine life.

A man who was pardoned for his actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol breach was recently handed down a life sentence for what he attempted to do while awaiting trial. Specifically, for his plan to murder the FBI officials who were working on his case. Let's go through the story together.
