BATON ROUGE, La. — Hold onto your hats, folks, because the Louisiana State Senate just dropped a truth bomb on the woke mob. They actually went and did it – passed a bill to redraw the state's congressional map, potentially eliminating one of those precious, artificially inflated majority-Black districts. Senate Bill 121 is heading to the House, and the pearl-clutching is already reaching critical mass.

Let's be real, the existing map was a joke. District 6 looked like it was drawn by a toddler with a crayon, stretching 250 miles from here to Timbuktu, just to scoop up enough reliably Democrat voters. Cleo Fields, the Dem incumbent, must have needed a private jet to visit all his constituents.

The new map? Well, it's shockingly… reasonable. Centered around predominantly white areas in the Baton Rouge suburbs, it's like someone finally remembered that geography and common sense exist. District 2, bless its heart, gets to keep its Black majority – a sop to the perpetually offended, no doubt. Troy Carter can breathe easy.

Of course, this wouldn't be a good old-fashioned political brawl without the Supreme Court getting involved. That Louisiana v. Callais case basically neutered the Voting Rights Act, giving states the green light to redraw their maps without fear of being sued into oblivion. Sucks to suck, libs.

And speaking of sucking, remember when Governor Jeff Landry suspended those House primary elections, even with 45,000 absentee ballots floating around? The outrage! Apparently, canceling an election is worse than the Civil War, World War II, and the COVID pandemic combined. The Left's historical perspective is truly breathtaking.

The usual suspects are lining up to scream about voter suppression and systemic racism. State Senator Sidney Barthelemy II is whining that redistricting based on party is the same as redistricting based on race. Newsflash: maybe if the Democrat party wasn't so reliant on identity politics, this wouldn't be an issue. Just a thought.

Royce Duplessis is apparently “not cool” with the whole thing. Get over it, Royce. Elections have consequences, and Republicans control both the House and Senate in Louisiana. Time to learn how the game is played.
