I actually like our district in Stepp's latest mock, especially with the addition of our old rival La Porte in it and the district being in Region 3. 😎

😂

The verdict is in, you’re clueless.

Nice snapshot. He also presided over greatest job loss/market drop since the Great Depression/Great Recession. Verdict is still out.

Being charged with the KKK Act, now that is fricking hilarious!!

The supremacy of the Feds over State's rights has deep roots. Andrew Jackson prevailed! About 150 years ago (referring to the 1830s, as the Nullification Crisis occurred in 1832–1833 during Andrew Jackson's presidency), Andrew Jackson confronted what was effectively a rebellion—or at least a serious threat of armed resistance—by the state of South Carolina. The event is known as the Nullification Crisis. South Carolina, angry over high federal protective tariffs (especially the "Tariff of Abominations" of 1828 and the adjusted Tariff of 1832) that hurt the Southern economy, passed an Ordinance of Nullification in November 1832. This declared the tariffs unconstitutional and unenforceable within the state after February 1, 1833. The state convention also began military preparations, raising volunteer forces and purchasing arms, while threatening secession if the federal government tried to enforce the tariffs. Jackson viewed this as a direct challenge to federal authority and the Union itself, equating nullification with treason and rebellion. His key actions included: Issuing the famous Proclamation to the People of South Carolina on December 10, 1832, where he strongly denounced nullification as unconstitutional, warned that it led toward disunion, and urged South Carolinians to obey federal law. He described the actions as bringing the state "to the brink of insurrection and treason." Requesting and supporting the Force Bill (passed by Congress in March 1833), which authorized him to use military force—including federal troops and the navy—to collect the tariffs and enforce federal laws if necessary. Jackson prepared for potential conflict by positioning troops, a naval squadron near Charleston, and readying fortifications. Jackson was prepared to use force to crush any rebellion, famously threatening (privately) to hang nullification leaders like his former vice president John C. Calhoun. The crisis was resolved peacefully through compromise: Congress passed the Compromise Tariff of 1833 (brokered by Henry Clay), gradually lowering tariffs to satisfy Southern concerns. South Carolina then repealed its Nullification Ordinance (though it symbolically nullified the Force Bill). This standoff is seen as a major test of federal supremacy over states' rights, and Jackson's firm stance helped preserve the Union—for the time being—while foreshadowing the deeper conflicts that led to the Civil War decades later. In short, Jackson forcefully opposed South Carolina's nullification and threat of rebellion, issued a stern proclamation, prepared for military action, and ultimately backed down the state through a combination of threats and compromise. Minnesota better learn history before they get even more embarrassed than they are now! @Big girl @UT alum @DCT

From the article: "Republicans are now on the investigative prowl and sounding increasingly confident they can find and prove there was an intentional strategy by Democrats to hijack elections and manipulate apportionment in deep blue states like Minnesota. As the magnitude and complexity of Minnesota’s Somali immigrant welfare fraud scandal come into clearer focus, Republicans in Congress are more boldly talking about it being part of a larger scheme by Democrats to use illegal immigrants and purported refugees to hijack federal elections and manipulate apportionment that determines Americans’ congressional representation and federal funding. The Republicans' argument goes like this: Democrats reversed Donald Trump’s related first-term executive orders and ensured that noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, were counted into 2020 U.S. Census. Then-President Biden opened the southern border so that millions of illegals could flood the country in just a few years. Next, liberal nonprofits helped move those migrants from the southern border red states, where they were not particularly welcome, to "sanctuary cities" in Democratic-run cities in the election battleground states and helped them enroll in welfare at the taxpayers' expense. And finally, Democratic leaders, like failed vice-presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tom Walz, they say, failed to act — or even worse, looked the other way — when evidence emerged that non-citizens were defrauding those safety net programs by the tune of billions of dollars. And liberal judges blocked efforts to stop or punish the fraud." [Hidden Content]

They need to release them as ordered. I have no problem with bringing all those involved brought in for questioning. We all know why the files aren’t released. I believe this among other things will impact the midterms for the house and senate. I believe Trump, Clinton and Andrew all participated and was not on the island for conversation. Clinton was a dirty old man in office and Trump has no problem grabbing them by their explicit body part. How does any case generate over 5 million pages and who was the lead investigator?

Simple. Woodville is the county seat. Lot's of government business there. That attracts other business. You also have to remember that all students that live in Fred and between go to Warren. Also, kids in Wildwood go to Warren.

Nice win for Shelbyville over SA.

It's always baffled me how that town and Woodville produce similar enrollment figures. The general makeup of the towns are not comparable. One gas station vs. 7. 1 place to eat vs 15. Make it make sense.
