For some real fireworks, imagine if we got the apportionment right in time
for the 2028 election, a perfect time to usher the Democrat Party to full extinction

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you most certainly know the U.S.
House passed President Trump’s key legislation, the One Big Beautiful Bill
Act, which is not without its potential risks, but satisfies most of
President Trump’s immediate domestic policy goals. No tax on tips and
overtime? Put the average working person and your hard hats back in the
GOP column for 2028, and with a little luck, next fall in the 2026
midterms. The President has also campaigned on border security as his
signature policy, and now he has the funding to not only finish fortifying
our southern border but hiring enough people to reunite families by
sending them somewhere other than here.

There are many other fine points in the bill that would please the average American who doesn’t live, breathe, sleep, and eat U.S. politics; there
are plenty of people who also hate the legislation, such as Elon Musk with
his third party aspirations, and the local armchair quarterbacks who
criticize it more out of unrealistic fantasy than they do attention to
detail. Yes, there are those who believe that, after more than 90 years of post-New Deal legislating, politicking, and ruling, we are going to
somehow have 435 U.S. House Representatives and 100 U.S. Senators willing
to vote on anything stripping all wasteful spending, pet projects, foreign
aid, and grift from modern legislation, simultaneously rolling back all
deficit spending and putting the nation collectively on the Dave Ramsey
plan.

Hi, where are you calling in from?

Hey Dave, it’s the United States. We are doing a little bit better, but we
need your advice. We are adding about four trillion a year on the national debt, and thinking about sending 96 billion in foreign aid to three
countries which already have enough firepower to blow up the world three
times over. We also need to give money to about 70 million people who
refuse to work. What should we do?

Have you lost your ever-loving minds? The first thing you should do is
sell your government vehicles for cash and get into what I call the
snowball plan. Pay off the smallest debts first, which means deport as
many illegal immigrants as possible. When you get done with that, call me
back. I don’t have time to deal with people who say they listen to the
show, and don’t do anything I recommend! We’ll be back after the break –
you’re listening to the Dave Ramsey Show.

Anyway, that’s the government you’re dealing with. If you expected
perfect, you’ll have to be happy that for once, things most Americans want
just made it to the President’s desk for signature. For those keeping
score at home, it passed through the House by the narrow margin of 218 to
214, with Republicans Thomas Massie and Ryan Fitzpatrick voting against passage. Fitzpatrick is a Ukraine simp, clearly on the verge of not
running in 2026 or auditioning as the next Kinzinger, while Massie is a grandstander of epic proportions. Now, time for a personal story that
relates to how I feel about Massie.

When I was a cadet at Ole Miss, I first went for the Air Force.
Eventually, I didn’t make the cut because they were much more selective
than the Army for medical issues, and I was going deaf in my right ear.
Before I switched over to the Army, one of the cadre members at the Air
Force ROTC was arguing with me about missing some training exercises
because I was busy working for the baseball program. I explained to him
how much better I was doing at physical fitness, and how I had one of the
best fitness scores in the squadron. He said, “there’s a lot more that
goes into being an officer than just P.T.” He was right.

Likewise, Massie has niche supporters mainly over one issue – his
willingness to criticize a lot of the big money sources impacting U.S.
politics – including AIPAC. His openness on the subject is good. Yet, it
is one thing out of many, and I don’t think his objections to Trump’s bill
are sincere, given that he put up very little public resistance (AKA grandstanding) against Joe Biden.

Opinion aside, the vote for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was very
narrow, and took a lot of skillful maneuvering from both John Thune in the Senate and Mike Johnson in the House to get through; however, you must not forget that the margin for the legislation was only narrow because the
U.S. Census Bureau rigged the 2020 population data on a grand scale.

From that article, which is one of the most popular I’ve ever written on
this platform:

So, what should the map have looked like with fair apportionment of
Electoral College votes, assuming no results are tampered with at the Presidential level?

Trump 320 Electoral Votes

Harris 218 Electoral Votes

This is a swing of 16 electoral votes toward Trump, in line with what I estimated in my initial research project.

Harris’s quiver of votes is weaker by 5 in California and 2 in New York if
they were properly assessed with a declining population of only citizens
(which is also what limits Texas to gaining just one electoral vote in my model), and she also loses another vote in Rhode Island, which is being
propped up by the Bureau’s underhanded methodologies.

Do you want some more reasons to believe I’m right? For starters, the
former Census Director, Robert Santos, proved me right by slipping out the
back door in late January after the apportionment debate once again became
a hot topic.

For number two, if you’re a left-wing guest reader here trying to dispute
what I’m writing, the government itself gently admitted that they indeed botched the census, and under- or over-counted 14 states:
