Katie Porter’s Ex-Husband Breaks His Silence, It’s As Bad As You’d Expect. Will It Matter in Election? Red State | October 25, 2025 | Jennifer Oliver O’Connell
Matthew Hoffman, the ex-husband of former Congresswoman and gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter, reportedly suffered the indignity (and injury) of having Porter pour boiling potatoes over his head.

NAACP: White Democrat Voters ‘Will Not Vote for Black Candidates’ Hot Air | October 26, 2025 | Larry Elder
The Supreme Court is considering a Louisiana redistricting case that could have a greater impact on U.S House of Representatives seats than the Texas and California “gerrymandering” maneuvers combined.
The New York Times wrote, “Democrats would be in danger of losing around a dozen majority-minority [[[ translate, please? ]]] districts across the South if the court struck down part of the Voting Rights Act.”
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller tweeted, “How many people just realized that Dems had as many as 20 extra seats based on years of unconstitutional race-based gerrymandering?”
For the purpose of “racial justice” under the Voting Rights Act, Democrat legislatures and politicians created several “majority-minority” [[[ ? ]]] districts in order to elect black and Hispanic congressional members. The Supreme Court will rule on whether these districts violate equal protection under the Constitution.
ACLU Voting Rights Project Director Sophia Lin Lakin, who supports these majority-minority districts, said: “Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act has been a critical tool in safeguarding the promise that people of color
Yo-yo! Y’all trippin” wit dat yo-yo. But I ain’t playin’. I have a color, too, bro; know what I’m sayin’?
can participate in our democracy on equal terms. It has been our shield against discriminatory maps and our answer to laws designed to suppress the vote. Congress passed the Voting Rights Act with overwhelming, bipartisan support — and reauthorized it again and again — because our leaders understood a fundamental truth:
you cannot cure discrimination by pretending it doesn’t exist.”
NAACP lawyer Janai Nelson told the court, “It was clear that, regardless of party, white Democrats were not voting for black candidates whether they were Democrats or not. We know that there is such a significant chasm between how black and white voters vote in Louisiana that there is no question that even if there is some correlation between race and party, that race is the driving factor.”
Yawn.
The Supreme Court decades ago in Shaw v. Reno (1993) and Miller v. Johnson (1995) ruled against districts where gerrymandering by race was the dominant factor. “Ethnic cleansing!” cried Jesse Jackson after the Miller decision. Elaine Jones of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund
The Elmer defensive Fudd?
said, “The noose is tightening.”
That’s racist. For real.
Her colleague, Theodore Shaw, warned that once this decision goes through, the Black Congressional Caucus “could meet in the back seat of a taxicab.”
On whose dime?
But of the black House members in the four redesigned majority-white Southern districts who decided to run for reelection, three won. One chose not to run.
Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act provides that jurisdictions with a history of race discrimination in voting may change their election systems only if they get “preclearance” from the attorney general or a three-judge federal district court.
Each time the preclearance requirements were about to expire, Congress extended them. In 1982, Congress …extended its provisions for another 25 years. Before the requirements were set to expire in 2007, …the Senate voted 98-0 to extend the law for another 25 years; there were only 33 “no” votes in the House of Representatives. Then-President George W. Bush signed the extension into law.
Because I feel for you people who have cars from 2008 or later:
Could hackers target your car’s tires? The Blaze | October 19, 2025 | Lauren Fix
That annoying low-tire-pressure light could also be an intruder alert.
Hackers have found another way into your car’s computer system: where the rubber meets the road.
Thanks to the TREAD Act, every new car since 2008 comes with a tire pressure monitoring system. It’s what turns on that annoying low-pressure light we’re all familiar with. By monitoring the the air pressure of each tire and alerting the driver when the pressure falls below a certain threshold, you car’s TPMS makes you safer. It also makes you a bigger target for hackers.
The problem is that TPMS uses unencrypted radio frequencies for the communication between the tire and the receiver. Hackers can “spoof” these signals, allowing them to send false data to the vehicle’s computer, such as indicating that the tire pressure is higher or lower than it actually is. Takeover
Big deal. You can hack my car and turn on my little pressure light? Annoying, sure. I didn’t think I cared until I learned that your TPMS radio frequency receiver is hooked directly into the car’s ECU — the computer that controls everything from fuel injection to exhaust, fuel mix, electricity, engine stats, timing, electric car driveability, and more
What’s more, this RF receiver is usually the same receiver that talks to your remote key fob to open the doors and disarm your security system. Compromised safety
So what exactly could a hacker do via your TPMS? More than you might expect.
TPMS hacking can:
Compromise the safety of the vehicle by causing incorrect tire pressure readings, which can lead to accidents or tire blowouts.
Capture data about the vehicle, such as its location and driving habits.
Gain access to other systems within the vehicle, such as the engine or brakes, leading to complete control of the vehicle.
Gauging the risk
So what can you do to keep hackers out? You should be as cautious of your car’s security as you are of public Wi-Fi and keep your vehicle’s software up to date. Additionally, be wary of any attempts to physically tamper with your TPMS sensors.
And it can’t hurt to have your own dial or digital pressure gauge. If that tire pressure light kicks on and your tires seem fine, check the pressure against the number inside the driver’s door. If it it’s fine, it could be a sign that your TPMS has been compromised.
Someone hacking into your car this way is unlikely, but if it does happen, it could be a disaster. As vehicles become more connected and rely more on electronic systems, this and other cybersecurity issues are something to keep an eye on.
