    01 - CHARLES MAGNA CARTA SLAM / EXECUTIVE POWER CHECKS AND BALANCES (folder: 01 Charles-Magna-Carta-Slam)
      April 28 — King Charles III addresses Joint Meeting of Congress (only the 2nd British monarch ever, after Elizabeth II 1991). Mid-speech: 'The U.S. Supreme Court has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789 as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances.' British press read this as a deliberate slam — with the President of the United States in the room.

    04 - MOB-TERM TRIANGLE / COMEY + WHCD SHOOTER + TRUMP (folder: 04 Mob-Term-Triangle)
      The rhetorical bridge. Comey indicted April 28 over '8647' seashell. WHCD shooter Cole Allen called Trump 'sociopathic mob boss in relation to Epstein files.' Trump in Oval: '86 is a mob term... means kill.' Three voices, same vocabulary, same week. The DOJ won't put Allen's name in the Comey indictment. Trump doesn't have to.
        Verified: no MSM, no DOJ filing, no Trump Truth Social post draws an evidentiary connection. Comey's 8647 was Instagram-only, deleted same day. Comey IS on Bluesky (verified) but never cross-posted. Allen's suspended Bluesky shows zero Comey interactions. The connection is purely rhetorical.

    05 - DAVID MORENS / FAUCI'S SENIOR ADVISOR INDICTED / COVID SCAMDEMIC (folder: 05 Morens-Fauci-Aide-Indictment)
      April 28 — David Morens, Fauci's longtime senior advisor at NIAID, indicted Maryland federal court on five felony counts: conspiracy against the US, falsification of records. Killer email quotes: 'I learned from our FOIA lady how to make emails disappear' / 'send stuff to Tony on his private Gmail or hand it to him at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.' Co-conspirator one is unnamed but Daszak/EcoHealth/Wuhan $600K grant is the obvious target. May 11 statute of limitations on Fauci's 2021 testimony — 13 days from show.

    06 - MINNESOTA DAYCARE FRAUD / FBI RAIDS 22 SOMALI-OWNED CHILDCARE FACILITIES (folder: 06 Minnesota-Daycare-Fraud)
      April 28-30 — FBI + state law enforcement execute 22 search warrants in Minneapolis. Childcare centers, "largely Somali-owned," allegedly billing for care that was not provided. Quality Learning Center — the daycare with the misspelled 'Learing' sign that went viral — collected 95 state violations 2019-2023, closed January 2026. Trump admin froze MN childcare funding. Walz "welcomed" the raids on X but RAIR Foundation reports he was trying to take credit. Walz dropped his reelection bid in response. Pairs with the broader Feeding Our Future fraud probe (65 convicted, vast majority Somali descent).

    07 - SCOTUS LOUISIANA VRA / VOTING RIGHTS ACT GUTTED + ROB CARTY BOTG (folder: 07 SCOTUS-Louisiana-VRA)
      April 29 — SCOTUS rules 6-3 in Louisiana v. Calais. Alito majority: 'the Constitution almost never permits a state to discriminate on the basis of race.' Kagan dissent: 'largest reduction to minority representation since the end of Reconstruction' / 'now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act.' Republicans win, redistricting feeding frenzy.
        ABC News - SCOTUS Louisiana ruling could reshape the midterms
      <b>— ROB CARTY BOTG (Constitutional Lawyer — READ VERBATIM) —</b>
      Rob — Hot off the press. SCOTUS just made it way more difficult for people to challenge congressional redistricting based on alleged racial discrimination. I mean way more difficult — in my view, nearly impossible. Highlighted and annotated SCOTUS opinion attached.
      Facts: After the 2020 census, Louisiana redrew some congressional districts. A coalition of black voters challenged the plan, claiming that it diluted black voting power. A court agreed and invalidated the plan. So Louisiana wrote a new plan that specifically accounted for race and protected black voting power — just as the court required. A group of non-black voters challenged this new map, saying that it was expressly race-based and therefore unconstitutional. These non-black voters won, and the case made its way to SCOTUS.
      Issue: The people who favored the new, race-conscious plan pointed to the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits racial discrimination in voting and is intended to enforce the 15th Amendment. But the plaintiffs — the non-black voters — did some jiu jitsu and pointed out that Louisiana's new redistricting plan violated these very laws because it was expressly race-based. SCOTUS agreed with the non-black voters.
      Holding: The VRA did not require Louisiana to create a special district to protect a minority's voting bloc. Therefore, the new map is an unconstitutional race-based gerrymander.
      Why race-based challenges will be really hard going forward: No more redistricting based on race. 'Disparate impact' is dead. Most cases are partisan disputes dressed as racial. Federal courts will turn partisan grievances away. The biggest blow: plaintiffs must produce alternative maps that fully achieve the state's legitimate policy goals, don't use race as a criterion, and control for party affiliation. Given that blacks tend strongly to vote as a Democrat bloc, this will be way harder than it sounds. Indeed I think it'll prove nearly impossible.

      Trump on Truth Social overnight: 'Iran can't get their act together. They better get smart soon.' WSJ: Trump tells aides to prepare for extended blockade. Iranian rial 1.8M/USD — 'wheelbarrow to go shopping.' Charles Payne on Fox Business: 'weeks before economic collapse.' Watch the gas pump in October.

Musk donated ~$38M under the nonprofit pretense. Took the stand "with a bang" — "destruction of the foundation of the entire nonprofit system in the United States." Calls Altman "Scam Altman." Seeking $150 BILLION in damages, wants for-profit unwound. Judge criticized the "Scam Altman" framing. Could radically restructure how OpenAI is managed.

      Sorry for the late email. I have been saying that I was going to reach out to you guys for months now. The highlight is that I have never been closer to God than I am now, and I was raised Catholic! You guys actually play a role in this. Along with No Agenda, Curry & The Keeper, and We Get to Do This. God keeps putting things and people in front of me, and I just keep saying, 'This is what he wants me to do.' So I say YES. Everything has taken off! The NICU Dad is global, launched an Amazon bestseller, and the family is amazing. I just keep putting my 100% faith in the Lord, and he comes through every time!
      How I do things in the NICU, I have done for our local school district. I was born and raised in Hays County. I've been in the PTA, SHAC, FBOC, and other committees for years. I was asked to run for the school board in the last election. I declined because I was too busy. I was asked for this election, and I am even busier, but given the current financial difficulties our schools are facing, I felt I didn't have a choice.
      Adam talks about running for Mayor, I figured if he would if he could. The reality is that I am the best candidate for the job, and am a bit of a unicorn. I check ALL of the boxes. Five generations in the area. Four generations in Hays CISD. Years of experience. Not to mention my last name is Zavala. Lol.
      But I'm no agenda. I have been very vocal about keeping political parties out of non-partisan positions. I am the only candidate who is not endorsed by a political party. The Dems have their candidate, and the Moms for Liberty have theirs. I'm pretty sure I am going to win, but let's go with God willing. I'm sure I am not the first No Agenda Party candidate, but here we go!
      <b>Election Day is Saturday May 2nd.</b>
      PS If you know anyone in Hays CISD (Buda, TX, Kyle, TX), we would appreciate their vote!
