US: 60 Years Later, Voting Rights Act Protections for Minority Voters Face New Threats! (7.8.2025)

Contrary to decades of precedent, Republican state officials in at least 15 states contend that private individuals and groups do not have the right to sue to enforce Section 2 because they are not explicitly named in the landmark law’s text. Only the head of the Justice Department, they argue, can bring this kind of lawsuit.

The issue is at the heart of a North Dakota legislative redistricting case that was brought by two tribal nations. A federal appeals court ruled against the Native American voters, and the case may be up for a full review soon at the Supreme Court. The justices may also be preparing to take up a broader question about the constitutionality of Section 2 protections, based on an order last week for legal briefs in a Louisiana congressional redistricting case originally filed by Black voters.

As If Argentina Has No Connection with Nazism!

UK: Agentina “Finds” Nazi German Documents in Basement of Supreme Court! (16.5.2025)

Catholic priests were then told to direct all devout Catholic men to travel to the war zones and join fascist military formations – hundreds of Irishmen headed to Spain, Italy and Germany. The Catholic Church fully supported the fascist invasion of the USSR and was silent about the Holocaust. Meanwhile, thousands of Catholic men travelled from Central and South America to fight for Hitler during WWII. After WWII, the Vatican gave refuge to thousands of Nazi War Criminals in Vatican City – before slowly filtering these criminals to “safe” Catholic countries in the Americas – including Argentina. Churchill granted the Pope’s request and resettled 10,000 Ukrainian SS men in Scotland. The laughable BBC is counting on no one in its audience knowing these facts, and is perpetuating the falsehood that Argentina is some kind of “victim” of Nazi tyranny. No – Catholic Argentina was a well-known safe-spot for Nazi Germans seeking refuge from justice.

New Civil War in US!

US: New “Civil War” Begins in Texas! (13.1.2024)

“Texas’s new actions since the government’s filing demonstrate an escalation of the state’s measures to block Border Patrol’s ability to patrol or even to survey the border and be in a position to respond to emergencies,” Elizabeth B. Prelogar, the DOJ’ s solicitor general, wrote in the filing.

The DOJ is asking the Supreme Court to intervene in an ongoing legal battle between the state and the federal government and overrule a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that prevents Border Patrol agents from cutting the concertina wire Texas has strung along the Rio Grande.

Texas troopers and National Guard members began to take “full control” of the 47-acre Shelby Park on Wednesday night, erecting concertina wire and fencing at the park to close off access to the public, the Texas Tribune reported.

Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas said he was told that the park would be closed indefinitely and the state government took the action to prevent immigrants from crossing into Texas.

Will Trump’s “Insurrection Dysfunction” Adversely Effect His Re-Erection Campaign? (21.12.2023)

Republicans accused Democrats of using the Colorado court as a political weapon at a time when U.S. President Joe Biden’s polling stood at a low point.

Meanwhile, the Republican presidential race has been dominated by Trump, who is only bolstered among his voting base by the four criminal indictments he faces, prompting several other candidates to drop out of the race.

Some maintained that Colorado’s court ruling could galvanize those who disagree with the court’s actions.

“That appears to be happening already. Trump’s rivals for the GOP nomination are falling in line behind him and condemning the decision, and it plays right into Trump’s depiction of himself as a victim of sinister forces,” Galdieri said.

Even his main rivals, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, suggested that the ruling was an abuse of judicial power.
