The Iranian regime seems to be stuck on the same line in the sand that President Trump won't back down on, and that's their nuclear program, despite the president's earlier optimistic tone on that condition.]]>Mon, 11 May 2026 19:17:24 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Iraq]]><![CDATA[Russia]]><![CDATA[USA]]><![CDATA[Operation Epic Fury]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/05/11/irans-leadership-may-now-be-eyeing-urgent-escape-to-moscow-n2202241<![CDATA[On Monday, in a 6-3 decision, the United States Supreme Court vacated a ruling in the United States District Court of Northern Alabama, which required the state to draw congressional maps establishing two majority-minority congressional districts.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 11 May 2026 19:00:31 -0400<![CDATA[Jennifer Oliver O'Connell]]><![CDATA[Alabama]]><![CDATA[Gerrymandering]]><![CDATA[Redistricting]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]><![CDATA[Supreme Court]]>https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/05/11/alabama-is-free-to-redraw-its-maps-after-scotus-vacates-district-court-ruling-n2202240<![CDATA[It is an ongoing and perhaps inevitable reality that Artificial Intelligence is taking over publishing. Already, the tepid, homogenized, barely readable A.I. slop has leeched its way into the news landscape, and craven overlords at news outlets are using the eroding revenues at their sites as justification to make their barely passable entries more intolerable. That this bastardized content will only distance readers even more is something lost on those with alleged genuine intelligence.]]>Mon, 11 May 2026 18:15:46 -0400<![CDATA[Brad Slager]]><![CDATA[Artificial Intelligence]]><![CDATA[Associated Press]]><![CDATA[Florida]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]><![CDATA[Washington]]>https://redstate.com/bradslager/2026/05/11/mcclatchy-news-gives-in-to-the-ai-content-ogre-but-their-reporters-will-not-surrender-n2202238<![CDATA[Of all the cards they love to play, the Democrats' favorite undoubtedly has been the race card, which they've played with near-total impunity for decades.]]>Mon, 11 May 2026 18:11:32 -0400<![CDATA[Sister Toldjah]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Gerrymandering]]><![CDATA[Redistricting]]><![CDATA[Tennessee]]>https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2026/05/11/not-so-fast-tennessee-woketivist-fans-the-race-flames-with-viral-photo-but-then-the-facts-come-out-n2202233<![CDATA[Information is as yet sparse, but on Monday, it looks like the Senate Majority Leader, John Thune (R-SD), has advanced in the Senate a measure that would cut off every Senator's pay during a government shutdown.

There are reports that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been conducting military strikes against an Iranian oil facility.

The April jobs report came in better than expected, with a promising 115,000 new jobs reported, more than the 65,000 predicted. That's good news, but there's better news on the employment ticker: In April, the number of federal government employees shrank by 9,000. And that's just the tip of the taxpayer-funded iceberg.

The problem with that is the fact that all of our "conspiracies" keep turning out to be real. But a new survey just out on Monday puts into question just exactly who the real conspiracy theorists might be.
