re: A third of Congressional Black Caucus could be wiped out by redistricting, Democrats warn

No. You’re just falling for the weird narrative that a handful of seats in the South will be determinative going forward.
I’m certainly not falling for that because I’ve never heard of it. Are yo saying the betting odds, which is the conventional wisdom, is wrong. If so, what do you think is the reason. Also, why didn’t the betting odds change when the Virginia redistricting was struck down?

There’s no way 3. Maybe…maybe 5-1.
Maybe you are right, but the pros don’t think so. That’s why they don’t go for 6-0.
I looked at the betting markets, and it seemed that they are still showing about a 70% chance the democrats retake the House. Am I misunderstanding it?
It’s not as easy as you imply. Go for 6-0 in a state like Louisiana and you might end up 3-3. Remember that this state has elected democrats statewide a number of times. The state can’t be divided up into six auto-republican districts. But it can be divided into 5 auto-republican and 1 auto-democrat.

And that is incorrect. There is no argument about it, and I can’t explain it any better than I did in my previous post.

I live in Metairie, but I have a house in Charleston, UT (Heber Valley) since 2013. Heading there on Sunday. My wife and I spend a lot of time there during the summer, and I make three or four ski trips during the winter. I got one day of skiing this past winter because the snow was so bad.
The Heber Valley has been on a building binge since about 2000, I’m told. Since 2013 it has been an uninterrupted development surge. It has been remarkable to watch. The 2034 Olympic award is adding fuel to an already out of control fire. It’s not the farm town it was when we got there.

Seems to me that the war is over and that the IRGC has survived and is rebuilding.
“IRGC is surviving and is waiting to start rebuilding”, is a better way to put it. They still do not have the revenue to rebuild. This has yet to play out, but your scenario above is one of the possibilities.

I upvoted your post because it was overall very on point, but this…

…has an obvious answer. He was, by far, the leader of a very just and righteous movement to give equal rights to an oppressed people.
That it went too far is something we would probably agree on, but by that time, King was dead. Critics of King tend to focus on his licentious lifestyle or his pecuniary irregularities. In that sense, his critics are similar to the critics of Donald Trump - always alleging that he’s a rapist or a cheat.
In the end, it doesn’t matter. It’s what he did politically that mattered. Just as the music of Wagner defines Wagner, not its supposed support of fascism. And maybe MLK would have lurched toward Marxism if he had lived. In that case his assassination would have saved his reputation. But that is a matter of conjecture.

Counting illegals, white people are still the majority. Of course, you can always claim there are more illegals than the mainstream estimates say.

Well first of all, there is no such thing as a “civil right”.
Yes there are. These nutty attempts to win arguments by parsing terms are juvenile.
Civil rights are individual rights that are legally guaranteed and enforced. For example, American citizens of a certain age have the legal right to vote. That is a civil right. Disabled people have certain rights to access public venues. This is a civil right.

Ehh, someone who has $50 million? Sure. But someone who has $2 million has a lot more in common with the six figure earner than he does to a billionaire.

it would look much like Russia/Ukraine.
No it wouldn’t. Their drones would be useless against forces the positions of which they don’t even know. The US would not have battle lines with Iran, as Russia has with Ukraine. The US would slice through the Iranian forces in two or three days. The only way for Iranian troops to stay alive would be to join us or go underground.
With the IRGC underground, the regular army would be turned and would be hunting the IRGC in their hideouts.
