Whats going on in the World

[Rick67]

It appears Trump ‘s little 2 week “excursion” has no end in sight. Iran is playing him like a fiddle, and additionally they have now control of the straight which they never had before.

Iran is holding the cards. They don’t care what Trump does they will ride it out. And munitions are reportedly running low?

What’s Trump’s next move?

Dems’ latest Virginia redistricting scheme draws mockery amid major court filing blunder

Democrats are facing Republican ridicule from a former prosecutor after reportedly filing their Virginia redistricting appeal to the wrong Supreme Court

www.foxnews.com

Democrats in Virginia apparently filed their redistricting appeal to the wrong Supreme Court, drawing even more mockery in a heated battle over the district lines of the state's congressional map.

Jason Miyares, the former attorney general of Virginia, led the criticism online on Tuesday, pointing to a previous mistake where Democrats spelled the commonwealth's name incorrectly on legal documents.

"Good news: Dems managed to spell Virginia correctly," Miyares said in a post to X. "Bad news: They sent their emergency application to SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) to the wrong court."
