Putting aside the usual teeter-totter of new presidents losing their House majorities at their first big electoral challenge, the 2022 elections specifically offer an inbuilt advantage to hopeful Republicans. Every ten years, redistricting comes into play, and for the GOP, this year’s a doozy.
With a potential 181 congressional districts ready for a Republican massage, Democrats will be staring at their estimated 74 redistricting opportunities with dismay. Although the recent census may change these numbers a little, the advantage for the minority party this time around seems all but assured to upset the balance of power and destroy President Joe Biden’s trifecta.

Gerrymandering is practiced by politicians of all stripes when they get the chance. Despite the advocate media brouhaha likely to arise as the process gets underway, the act of redistricting to political advantage has been used by both parties since its first appearance in 1812.
Since the last major boundary changes ten years ago, two major SCOTUS decisions have taken place. In 2013, the court ruled 5-4 in Shelby County v. Holder that Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was unconstitutional. This decision essentially gutted section 5, which demanded that local government or state changes to voting rights must first attain federal clearance.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
