We\u2019ve all got a weekend to get to.<\/p>\n<h3>1. The NAACP Goes Full <em>Blazing Saddles<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>In perhaps the greatest movie ever made, Mel Brooks\u2019 seminal classic satirical Western <em>Blazing Saddles<\/em>, Cleavon Little plays a newly appointed sheriff of a frontier town whose skin color shocks and dismays the simple-minded locals whose racial views are less than enlightened. It turns out, however, that Little\u2019s character is quick on the uptake and devises a foolproof strategy to keep from being lynched by the townsfolk upon his arrival (warning to the unwashed \u2014 a certain word appears here that is only acceptable to say in a rap track)\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/?p=43\">The 30+1 Best Fake Quotes in History<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"281\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dQrrqf-YamA?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:\/\/spectator.org\" title=\"Blazing Saddles- Welcome Sheriff\" width=\"500\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m assuming that the people heading up the NAACP these days are big Cleavon Little\/<em>Blazing Saddles<\/em> fans, because that\u2019s the only explanation I can come up with for this:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>(The Center Square) \u2013 Black athletes in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and South Carolina at public universities are being encouraged to join the NAACP\u2019s Out of Bounds campaign and boycott athletic programs.<\/p>\n<p>Power 4 conference schools in the Southeastern Conference, Atlantic Coast Conference and Big 12 could be impacted. The request is in response to the Supreme Court ruling announced April 29, striking down a congressional map in Louisiana it says relied too heavily on race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlack athletes should not be asked to generate wealth, prestige and power for state institutions while those same states strip political power from Black communities,\u201d said Derrick Johnson, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.<\/p>\n<p>A day earlier, the Congressional Black Caucus wrote to NCAA President Charlie Baker and leaders of the SEC and ACC advising its members would be in opposition to the SCORE Act. The legislation unifies athletes\u2019 contracting rights nationwide.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So black kids should turn down the millions of dollars in NIL swag schools like LSU, Bama, Georgia, and Texas A&amp;M are offering because of congressional politics?<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t draw Steve Cohen out of his district of Rick Barnes\u2019 basketball Volunteers end up white like Casper?<\/p>\n<p>The funny thing about that is that the big college basketball programs are already camping out in Europe and doing their best to land Euroleague pros as their big stars.<\/p>\n<p>But even funnier is the fact that if you talk to elite athletes in a private setting, and perhaps not black athletes in particular but not because they\u2019re an exception, what you\u2019ll find is they skew a LOT more conservative than regular Americans do. They tend to be more religious, though not necessarily more socially conservative (the baseball players are usually super-conservative socially, football players a little less so, and the basketball players are generally pretty libertine), and when it comes to taxes and economics, they\u2019re as far-right as it gets.<\/p>\n<p>For an obvious reason. They\u2019ve got a generally small window of 15 years or so where they have the opportunity to amass generational wealth, and then that opportunity largely passes. Obviously the investments they make with what they earn while playing ball can keep them comfortable, but it\u2019s unlikely they\u2019ll be able to make $6 million a year, or perhaps much more, when the game passes them by.<\/p>\n<p>So those dollars are precious. They want to put away as many as they can. And leftist redistributionist politics fly hard in the face of that objective.<\/p>\n<p>That 19-year-old kid who has the opportunity to sign a $3 million NIL deal at Auburn, which means his mom gets to live in a nice house rather than whatever Section 8 shack she\u2019s had to raise him and his brothers and sisters in, when Auburn is driving distance away and she can come to all of his games, has zero figs to give for what Derrick Johnson says.<\/p>\n<p>This is actually a great thing. When it has absolutely no impact whatsoever on college sports recruiting, it will demonstrate how little influence the NAACP has inside the black community \u2014 or at least within one very visible, very prominent sliver of that community that is important enough to merit Johnson\u2019s messaging here.<\/p>\n<p>Fans, boosters, and politicians in SEC states are not as gullible as the citizens of Rock Ridge. And Derrick Johnson isn\u2019t quite as wily as Cleavon\u2019s character. Otherwise? Bold strategy, Cotton!<\/p>\n<h3>2. No, We Don\u2019t Need More Bombing in Iran<\/h3>\n<p>President Trump keeps talking about how he almost sent in the Tomahawks and the jets to blow up stuff in Iran and how he might still do it.<\/p>\n<p>And he probably should keep mentioning it, if for no other reason than to goose the negotiations with those Iranians willing to negotiate.<\/p>\n<p>Though those Iranians don\u2019t seem to be the ones in charge. The ones in charge appear to have a special penchant for provocative attacks designed to make a mockery of the ceasefire and suck Trump back into an open conflict, in the hopes of one day shooting down a plane and capturing the pilots, or achieving some other propaganda war victory amid all the kinetic destruction they\u2019re bringing down on their country.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there is the blockade of Iran\u2019s ports that is slowly strangling the regime as it bleeds out financially. This will ultimately gain the result everyone by now understands is necessary, which is that the Iranians take back their government from the insane Stone Age barbarians who\u2019ve ruled the place for the last 47 years.<\/p>\n<p>But what evidence is there that this is about to happen? I can\u2019t say I have much. I did see one interesting item this week, though:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\ud83d\udea8 Armed clashes between the Iranian Army and the IRGC are reportedly erupting inside Iran.<\/p>\n<p>According to Alhurra, citing informed military and political sources inside Iran, tensions between the regular Army and the IRGC have escalated into armed confrontations in Tehran,\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/8YI94oHByP<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Iran Watcher \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf7 (@TheIranWatcher) May 20, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Artesh (Iran\u2019s regular army) is a LOT larger than the Sepah (the IRGC). It\u2019s poorly paid and poorly armed, but it\u2019s the sleeping giant whose awakening would be the end of that regime. If Artesh soldiers have begun shooting at the IRGC, it\u2019s the game-changer we\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the blockade going and let it play out. We don\u2019t need a fresh round of kinetic action, at least not now. We can afford to be patient; let\u2019s just be smart enough to leverage that fact.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Ace of Spades on the DNC\u2019s Autopsy<\/h3>\n<p>I was going to write something on this, and then I read what Ace said. And I said to myself, \u201cSelf, don\u2019t try to reinvent this wheel. It\u2019s perfect as is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A taste, though you should go there and read the whole thing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>You don\u2019t need an autopsy to know why the Democrats lost in 2024. No one does.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats know as well. The problem is, they are beholden to their extreme left wing, and they\u2019re beholden to the extreme left wing because the extreme left wing in the\u00a0<i>majority of the Democrat Party.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Democrats now know \u2014 if they didn\u2019t before \u2014 that transgender \u201cscience\u201d is a propaganda lie spun up by WPATH, an organization funded by J.B. Pritzker\u2019s transgender brother \u201cJennifer\u201d Pritzker. It was never true that \u201cgender affirming surgery\u201d reduces suicide \u2014 and multiple studies now prove that beyond doubt. It was never true that \u201cgender affirming\u201d \u201cmedicine\u201d improves mental health or well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/?p=41\">The Foreign Policy Establishment Plans for a Post-Trump World<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And on top that: The politics of it are horrible. It\u2019s a 20-80 issue.<\/p>\n<p>But the Democrats cannot admit this because the 20% that is gonzo for gay and transgender extremism is the core of the activist class.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the Democrats know that Obama\u2019s and then Biden\u2019s open border policy is absolutely toxic political poison. It\u2019s another 20-80 issue.<\/p>\n<p>But the Democrats cannot admit this because the 20% that supports the Great Replacement is the core of the most partisan Democrat voters.<\/p>\n<p>And they know they foisted a brain-damaged demented fool and corrupt grafter on the country in the form of Joe Biden. But they can\u2019t admit that because most of the Democrat Party \u2014 and the media \u2014 is in\u00a0<i>legal jeopardy<\/i>\u00a0should the entirety of their massive conspiracy be revealed.<\/p>\n<p>So the \u201cautopsy\u201d is a sham. They never bothered to complete it and left most the issues that actually caused the loss\u00a0<i>entirely unmentioned.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Not underplayed. Not under-analyzed.<\/p>\n<p>Unmentioned entirely.<\/p>\n<p>The only fake conclusion the sham \u201cautopsy\u201d is certain of\u2026?<\/p>\n<p>Democrats and their media allies\u00a0didn\u2019t go negative enough on the man they claimed was Hitler on a mission to destroy America and resurrect the Third Reich.<\/p>\n<p>Trump got off so easy you guys!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The DNC\u2019s chairman Ken Martin announced that this ridiculous document was actually produced late last year and he suppressed it, because it didn\u2019t meet his standards. I don\u2019t know if that means he disagrees with the conclusions that the trans piece was a killer, or some of the other obvious takeaways the autopsy offers, or what.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s like I\u2019ve said: they chased excellence out of their party, so how can they expect to commission it?<\/p>\n<h3>4. Stephen Miller Is Not Wrong<\/h3>\n<p>This will undoubtedly turn into a left-wing outrage that he would say such \u201cdivisive\u201d and \u201cmean-spirited\u201d things, but Stephen Miller isn\u2019t at all wrong about the modern Left and the way it operates.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s talking about the glorification of violence that seems to be spiraling coming out of activist Democrats, particularly in the wake of <em>Callais<\/em> and the flurry of Southern redistricting and some of the other recent political developments, and of course the latest attempt on Miller\u2019s boss Donald Trump\u2019s life at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner. And in classic Millerian tones, he pulls no punches\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\ud83d\udea8 WOW! Stephen Miller just exposed it:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome people might not like what I\u2019m about to say, but it has to be said. You have the Left continue in its professional associations like nursing and doctors and education \u2014 people who casually CHEER ASSASSINATIONS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir conversation\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/Ai6xEHGMJm<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) May 21, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>5. The Coming Republican Era?<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s a very interesting think piece by Clayton Wood at his <em>From Chaos to Clarity<\/em> Substack that talks about how a host of developments are likely to lock in Republican dominance for some time to come, specifically once the 2030 Census is held and its report is published, and the resulting redistricting maps are drawn.<\/p>\n<p>Wood names four developments as layering on top of each other to create a real problem for the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The first is the 2020 Census, and the recognition, which hasn\u2019t gotten as much media play as it probably should have, that its numbers were way, way off \u2014 so much so that you\u2019d say it was fraudulently conducted:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Start with what is not in dispute. The Census Bureau\u2019s own post-enumeration survey, released after the 2020 count, found statistically significant overcounts in eight states and undercounts in six others. The overcounted states were Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Utah. Seven of those eight voted for Joe Biden. The undercounted states were Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. Five of those six voted Republican.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers behind those findings are not rounding errors. Florida was undercounted by approximately 750,000 people. Texas by more than 500,000. Tennessee by roughly 340,000, representing nearly 5 percent of the state\u2019s actual population. On the other side, New York was overcounted by approximately 670,000. Minnesota was overcounted by more than 216,000.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The upshot there is we\u2019re living in something of a false political reality in which red states have been given less representation than they deserve, and this plays into not only the balance of House seats but in the Electoral College (which the Democrats magically want to eliminate).<\/p>\n<p>Then he notes the massive internal migration from blue states to red states, which is only going to accentuate the migration of House apportionment and electoral votes to the GOP.<\/p>\n<p>Wood then brings up the <em>Callais<\/em> case and its aftermath, in which red states are now free to draw the districts they want to draw \u2014 in ways they were prevented from doing prior to <em>Callais<\/em> while blue states gerrymandered with impunity. So now you\u2019ve got growing red states, with larger electoral footprints, getting more aggressive in drawing red districts where either there were none or where there were blue districts.<\/p>\n<p>And then finally, he hits on a subject I\u2019ve been musing on for a while \u2014 which is that an Obama-style Black Swan event that changes the game is almost locked out of the realm of possibility. Why? Because Barack Obama was a novelty who promised the kind of racial reconciliation Americans yearned for, and that was enough for many \u201ccrossover\u201d voters to throw caution to the wind and give him a chance.<\/p>\n<p>Except Obama burned those crossover voters. They won\u2019t be back. And Obama also so radicalized the Democrats that their party is incapable of nominating the kinds of candidates who can win in competitive states and districts.<\/p>\n<p>You can quibble with Wood\u2019s construction. But it\u2019s generally correct. As he notes, he\u2019s simply listening to the Democrats\u2019 own consultants:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>James Carville told you the Democratic strategic answer to this analysis on a podcast, and he was honest enough to say explicitly that the answer had to be hidden from voters. Grant statehood to Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico for four reliable Democratic Senate seats. Pack the Supreme Court to neutralize the judicial branch. Reopen the border and grant mass amnesty to reshape the eligible electorate before the 2030 census locks the map for a generation. His advice to Democratic politicians: do not run on it, do not talk about it, just do it.<\/p>\n<p>Do not run on it. Do not talk about it. Just do it.<\/p>\n<p>That sentence is the tell. When your plan requires hiding it from the voters you claim to represent, you already know the voters would not choose it. And it confirms that the structural analysis in this essay is correct, because people who believe they are winning do not need to hide their strategy. They announce it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s a really good piece. It isn\u2019t a Pollyanna diatribe; he builds in ample caveats and notes that with all the manifest problems the country has to solve, being the party in power for a while might actually be a curse rather than a blessing. And what Wood leaves unsaid is today\u2019s Democrats have no intellectual or emotional template for loyal opposition; once they realize the current system won\u2019t afford them political power, they might well become a chaotic revolutionary army rather than a political faction.<\/p>\n<p>And that isn\u2019t Pollyanna at all.<\/p>\n<p>I do think Wood has a good measure of our future. What\u2019s worth discussing is what kind of Republican Party we can construct to wield the power that future will offer, because the Bill Cassidy\u2013Thom Tillis\u2013Brian Kemp model we\u2019re doing away with certainly isn\u2019t it, and there is going to have to be some sort of unifying tractor beam present when Donald Trump exits the scene in a couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/?p=39\">Bob Woodson Against the Grievance Machine<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE by Scott McKay:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Grifters, Activism, and Thomas Massie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bye, Bill<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Bell Tolls for Keir Starmer<\/strong><\/p>\n<h6><em><strong>Image licensed under Creative Commons\u00a0Attribution 4.0 International.<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A most wonderful article<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hither-and-yon"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Five Quick Things: Will Republican Dominance Be Locked In?
