Restoring Original Republican Voting Rights and Values
“Pointing to the fact that the racial turnout gap narrowed to zero in those years, Roberts argued that the Voting Rights Act had done its job and preclearance could be safely suspended.”
Speaker of the House Johnson declared he and other Republicans are restoring God to the United States. It is my contention, God was always with the People of the United States, and thus I repute this claim. I also question the claim God founded the Republican Party, so that one day IT can become owned and run by States who committed treason, and declared war on Loyal Americans. These two parties got switched. Therefor, I contend that the alleged People who worship Jesus as their God, and the Rightful God of the Jews (and citizens of Israel) should form the…..
WE ARE THE PARTY OF GOD
My kin, John Fremont co-founded the Republican Party, and ran against two Democrats, and lost. Did Fremont and his White Backers intend to free Black Slaves and have them hold office everywhere in the United States, if they won a popular vote, verses being United with God – who never abandoned the tenants and bi-laws of the party He founded? For certain God turned His back on the Confederacy, and thus they lost the Civil War. If God wanted the Democrats to win the Civil War, then God would have to be…
A PROPONANT OF SLAVERY
Below is a list of sermon given in Red States. Ministers claimed they spoke for God, who wanted the South to keep their slaves. When Fremont ran, he did not expect to get ONE BLACK VOTE because no black person in the growing United States…
COULD VOTE
One can safely say, John and Jessie Benton were exceedingly thrilled when the Voting Rights Bill passed 1965, as were all the Foregin Fighters who sourrounded Fremont, and had fought with the Habsburg Pope to…….
END THE EXPLPOITATION OF THE SLAVS OF EUROPE
Hear the New Southern Ministers claim they have saved the US from Socialism. Many members of the Republican Party were Socialists, even Marxists. Lincoln was surrounded by RADICALS.
Newly arrived foreigners formed the core of The Radical Republicans, who also look down from Heaven, and were exceedingly pleased to see Black Slavs WON and OWN the same United Values! Skin color did not prevent human being from owning
THE EXACT SAME VALUES WHITES OWN
The Question Mike Johnson might be concerned with, did these Radical Socialist aceept Jesus as their Lord and Savior just before they died, and thus….
THEY OWN THE ABILITY TO LOOK DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND BLESS FOLKS LIKE THEM – AND WHO VOTE JUST LIKE THEM?
Family Values and American Traditions are the MAIN things the New Republican Party of The Divine Red States – TOUT. Why then don’t they reclaim the old Democratic Party – their ancestors were member of? How many Democrat Southerners found Jesus, and believe, Jesus is God – to this very day? The Republican Supreme Court is very interested in Godly Matters because of their Abortion ruling, that included the pill.
With the terribly flawed ruling, the Supreme Courst claims the Goal’s of John Fremont’s party – have been met! How can this be? Imagine a Ford Man goes to the Ford Dealer to buy a new Ford, and he sees the Confederate battle flag on top. He wonders if his great grandfather, a Ford Man from Minnesota would approve. He was a Union White Guy? He worked along side black people at the plant. He fought for equal pay and working rights. He would be outraged! Can you hear his cries….
FROM HEAVEN AFTER SEEING ALL HE WORKED FOR – DESTROYED?
“What happened to my Ford? What the hell did they do to my Ford!”
On this day, May 19, 2026, I John Presco call for a New Republican Civil Rights Bill, and a new appeal be presented before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court should know the history of The White Vote in regards to determining which State will be a Slave State, or a Free State. No black people took part in this most important and sacred right. I content White Democrat Voters in the Red States are being deprived of Their Voting Rights, as established by John Fremont…..
THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE!
I hear Fremont cry…..
“WE ARE THE PARTY OF FREEDOM!”
What does God have to do with it?
Wait a minute! If Jesus founded a Democracy…….
WHY DIDN’T GOD-JESUS GIVE BLACKS AND WOMEN THE RIGHT TO VOTE BEFORE THE CONSTITUTION WAS SIGNED?

“This week, the Supreme Court destroyed what little remained of the Voting Rights Act. In Louisiana v. Callais on Wednesday, the Court eliminated the law’s protections against lawmakers drawing maps that dilute the political power of minority voters. The decision continued more than a decade of the Court’s assaults on what is often called the crown jewel of the civil rights movement.
The opinion’s reasoning is based in part on a claim that is simply not factual. Pointing out that Black and white turnout reached parity in “two of the five most recent Presidential elections,” Justice Samuel Alito assured Americans that racial disparities in voting are no longer a problem. But Alito’s claim represents egregious cherry-picking, as he was not referring to recent elections, but to those in 2008 and 2012 — the years that Barack Obama ran for president. In the three most recent presidential elections, the trend shows exactly the opposite. The indisputable fact is the racial turnout gap is widening, and the Roberts Court is partially responsible.
Alito’s sleight of hand is outrageous but not surprising.
The Supreme Court first took its sledgehammer to the Voting Rights Act in 2013. In Shelby County v. Holder, the justices suspended the provision requiring states and localities with a history of racial discrimination in voting to get approval from the federal government before they could make changes to election rules, a process known as preclearance. To get permission, the state or locality had to prove that any changes wouldn’t fall harder on racial and ethnic minorities than on white voters.
In the majority opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts cited the same two elections that Alito picked out in the new Callais decision: 2008 and 2012. Pointing to the fact that the racial turnout gap narrowed to zero in those years, Roberts argued that the Voting Rights Act had done its job and preclearance could be safely suspended.
As my colleague Michael G. Miller and I explain in our forthcoming book on the Voting Rights Act and Shelby County, the ruling was suspect even at the time. There was good reason to believe that 2008 and 2012 were anomalies — not the end of the racial turnout gap — in light of Obama’s candidacy driving up Black turnout.
The U.S. Supreme Court Has Eviscerated the Voting Rights Act — What’s Next? H
A 6-3 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais has eviscerated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and opened the door for states to enact discriminatory voting maps and laws.
This decision — which contradicts the text of the Voting Rights Act, the will of Congress and the Constitution — is one of the most consequential setbacks for our multiracial democracy in a generation.
For six decades, the VRA has served as the backbone of federal protections against racial discrimination in our elections — an essential guardrail ensuring that every American, regardless of race, has a meaningful opportunity to participate in the political process.
With this ruling, the Court has struck down a congressional map that finally allowed Black voters in Louisiana to have the opportunity to elect candidates of their choice. More broadly, the justices have upended decades of precedent, ignored the will of Congress and left voters with little recourse to challenge racially discriminatory maps or voting laws.
Louisiana v. Callais: How did we get here?
Black voters in Louisiana have been fighting for a fair congressional map for years. Following a successful challenge under Section 2 of the VRA, a federal court ruled that Louisiana’s congressional map was discriminatory and needed to be redrawn to create an additional district where Black voters could have the opportunity to elect their candidates of choice.
Louisiana did so and adopted a map with two opportunity districts. This resulted in the election of two Black Louisianians to Congress for the first time in history.
Then, a group of self-described “non-Black” voters filed suit claiming that the VRA-compliant map was an illegal racial gerrymander.
The case went up to the U.S. Supreme Court where Campaign Legal Center submitted amicus briefs in 2024 and 2025 to ensure that Section 2, one of the most important federal civil rights provisions in this country’s history, could continue to protect voters.
In a historic blow to this landmark legislation, the Supreme Court’s decision in Callais on April 29, 2026, appears to clear the way for Louisiana — and other states — to engage in the discriminatory practice of vote dilution. This will particularly impact Black and brown voters who have long fought for fair representation at the federal, state and local levels.
And with this decision, the Court has made it clear that racial discrimination will be allowed so long as it is done under the guise of partisanship. Contrary to the text of the VRA, the Constitution and Congress’ intent, the Supreme Court’s majority has once again issued a decision that will negatively impact millions of Americans and their freedom to vote, while leaving little recourse for those voters to challenge this discrimination.
While claiming to make only minor tweaks to the long-standing framework under which challenges to racially discriminatory districts are analyzed, the Callais decision is instead a fundamental overhaul.
Going forward, voters will have to clear new evidentiary hurdles, and states can defend against virtually any claim of racially discriminatory map-drawing simply by claiming they instead discriminated based on political party — even though race and partisanship are often difficult, if not impossible, to disentangle, especially in the South.
The decision provides a roadmap for states to return to pre-1965 race discrimination in redistricting, despite Congress’s repeated and overwhelming reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, including as recently as 2006.
In her dissent, Justice Elena Kagan captured the gravity of this devastating decision, writing:
“[The Voting Rights Act] ushered in awe-inspiring change, bringing this Nation closer to fulfilling the ideals of democracy and racial equality. And it has been repeatedly, and overwhelmingly, reauthorized by the people’s representatives in Congress. Only they have the right to say it is no longer needed — not the Members of this Court. I dissent, then, from this latest chapter in the majority’s now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act.”
Where do we go from here?
While the Supreme Court’s decision is a major setback, it is not the end of the fight for fair representation. The responsibility now shifts to Congress and state legislatures to ramp up their efforts to protect the freedom to vote, and Campaign Legal Center and the entire pro-democracy movement will continue to advocate for policy solutions that uphold the ideals of our democracy.
Congress can and must act to enact protections nationwide against racial and partisan discrimination in redistricting, fulfilling its role as a co-equal branch of government and passing legislation to address the Supreme Court’s repeated undermining of this landmark legislation.
States can also adopt their own voting rights protections — such as State Voting Rights Acts — ensuring that voters are shielded from discrimination even when federal protections falter.
The fight for voting rights has never been linear. Every generation has faced attempts to restrict access to the ballot box, and every generation has pushed back. This moment is no different. Campaign Legal Center will continue our work litigating, advocating and fighting to ensure that all Americans can participate meaningfully in the democratic process, particularly Americans who have faced political barriers because of race, ethnicity or economic status. Join us.
Southern ministers played a crucial role in defending slavery, famously pivoting from characterizing it as a “necessary evil” to championing it as a divinely ordained “positive good.” They utilized biblical texts to justify the subjugation of enslaved people, weaving white supremacy into the fabric of American Christianity. [1, 2]
Prominent pro-slavery ministers from the American South include:
Rev. Dr. Richard Furman (Baptist): A highly influential South Carolina minister who wrote a famous 1822 public letter to the governor arguing that the institution of slavery was fully sanctioned by the Bible and vital to Southern society. His name is attached to Furman University and its theological legacy.
Dr. James Henley Thornwell (Presbyterian): Known as the “John C. Calhoun of the Church,” this South Carolina theologian argued that slavery had divine sanction and that the church had no authority to interfere with the social or political order of the South.
Rev. Thornton Stringfellow (Baptist): A prominent Virginia pastor whose 1856 book, Scriptural and Statistical Views in Favor of Slavery, served as a foundational theological text for enslavers seeking biblical justification for chattel slavery.
Dr. Benjamin Morgan Palmer (Presbyterian): A prominent New Orleans minister who delivered a famous Thanksgiving sermon in 1860, strongly advocating for the preservation of the Union only on the condition that it supported and protected the institution of slavery.
Bishop Stephen Elliott (Episcopalian): The first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia, he regularly preached that the enslavement of African people was part of God’s plan and that the South had a divine duty to preserve it. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
The theological defenses constructed by these and other Southern clergy profoundly shaped American religious institutions, leading to the creation of separate, pro-slavery denominations like the Southern Baptist Convention and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
For a more comprehensive look at the theological arguments made by these figures, you can explore the JSTOR Daily analysis on antebellum Christian justifications, or review the historical documentation compiled by the Princeton University Slavery Project.
Donald Trump has taken the Republican Party into the Twilight Zone. We the People are guessing what reality is, and are afraid of what our President will do next. Come back to Reality! Come back to your roots! I am running for President as Radical Republican who fought Jim Crow in the defeated South, and helped elect former slaves to office.
Joseph Biden, the Vice President who served our Nation’s first Black President, said that Jim Crow is coming back. For this reason I encourage White and Black voters in the Southern Red States -whose votes do no good in the Presidential contest – to vote for me so we can create a viable faction in the Abolition party founded to fight slavery. We want a voice at the Republican Conventions! We want to fight Jim Crow from within the party that has been taken over by Neo-Confederates – Trump refuses to condemn! That megalomaniac is destroying traditional values – that made America Great!
John G. Presco
Presidential Candidate for the Traditional Radical Republicans.
In criticizing Republican efforts to adopt more stringent voting rules, including identification requirements and curtailing early voting hours, Biden recalled the racial segregation laws of the past.
“You’ve got Jim Crow sneaking back in,” he said, referring to the era before the civil rights movement. “You know what happens when you have an equal right to vote? They lose.”
The Speaker of the House did a Victory Dance For God after the BIG Ugly was passed, Putin and Trump took notice. It appears Christian Radicals took over the party founded by Drew and my relatives John and Jessie Benton Fremont. Many hospitals – will be ruined! This has to make Putin very happy, He too is a Warrior of God. Trump is threatened and doing his insecure God Dance. How come we did not see these Christian Leaders CONDEMNING RUSSIA for just launching their largest drone attack? Christian leaders, like Herbert Armstrong used to rant about Russia – all the damn time. There are 50,000 North Korean troops lined up to invade Ukraine. Are they happy that poor Americans will go hungry like they do in their country?

In a keynote speech to a gathering of Christian nationalist lawmakers Tuesday night, House Speaker Mike Johnson compared himself to Moses, leading the GOP conference — and America — through the parted waters of the Red Sea.
Johnson addressed the National Association of Christian Lawmakers at the group’s award gala at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. Perhaps unaware that the event was being recorded for the NACL Facebook page, Johnson told the crowd: “I’ll tell you a secret, since media is not here.” (“Thank you for not allowing the media in,” Johnson added, alleging that journalists have been taking his comments “out of context” with “great joy for the last few weeks.”)
Johnson then revealed that — in the lead up to the “tumult” of Kevin McCarthy losing his gavel and the chaotic GOP process of selecting new Speaker — he had been speaking directly to God. “Look, I’m a Southern Baptist, I don’t wanna get too spooky on you,” he said, provoking some laughter from the attendees. “But, you know, the Lord speaks to your heart.”
The message he received from God, Johnson said, was to prepare for a “Red Sea moment” — both for the Republican conference “and in the country at large.” Johnson said found the directive confusing but he continued to seek the counsel of God.
“The Lord began to wake me up, through this three-week process, in the middle of night to speak to me,” Johnson insisted. “Now at the time,” he continued, “I assumed the Lord is going to choose a new Moses.” But because of his own lesser rank among the GOP’s leadership, Johnson said, he believed the heavenly message to be: “You’re gonna allow me to be Aaron to Moses,” citing the role of the Old Testament prophet’s brother and biblical sidekick.
But then Johnson watched as candidate after candidate failed to generate the necessary Republican support to win the Speakership. “Ultimately 13 people ran for the post. And the Lord kept telling me to, ‘Wait, wait, wait,’” Johnson recalled. “So I waited, I waited. And then at the end … the Lord said, ‘Now step forward.’” Johnson regaled the audience with his surprise to be tapped as the Moses figure: “Me?” Johnson said. “I’m supposed to be Aaron.” But that was not the message, Johnson insisted, recalling: “‘No,’ the Lord said, ‘Step forward.’”
Johnson’s speech to the National Association of Christian Lawmakers — a group that seeks to enact its anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ “biblical worldview” into law — is just the latest evidence that the politician who is now second in line for the presidency views himself as on a divine mission. Rolling Stone previously reported on Johnson’s exhortations to save a “depraved” America from God’s wrath and vengeance.

Johnson told the NACL crowd that his “core conviction” that “God wants us to seek Him for the path through the roiling sea.” The Speaker then underscored his pessimism about the state of the nation, asserting that America is facing the “greatest collection of challenges since maybe World War II, maybe the Civil War.”
America, Johnson insisted, is “engaged in a battle between worldviews” and “a great struggle for the future of the Republic.” The specifics of that struggle remained unspoken. But the NACL mission, according to materials promoting the gala, includes: “abolishing abortion”; restoring “traditional marriage between one man and one woman”; and “exposing the ungodly effort to undermine our culture by Leftists,”. Johnson added that he believed far-right Christians will prevail: “We should not be daunted. In the face of these challenges. Our hope is in the Lord, our hope, and our trust is in God.”
At the gala, Johnson was awarded with NACL’s “American Patriot Award for Christian Honor and Courage.” It was bestowed to recognize what the group’s leader, former Arkansas state Rep. Jason Rappert, described as Johnson’s “statesmanship, bold Christian leadership, and faithful service to our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Yesterday I found a book that says my great great grandfather, Carl Janke was a Forty-niner who built homes all over the Bay Area. This history was oppressed because Christians did not like the German Forty-Eighters who backed my kin, John Fremont, the co-founder of the Rebpilcian Party, and its first Presidential Candidate. Recording this history is the most important thing I can do.
I was going to send an e-mail to a woman at the San Mateo Historical Society, but then found this article on the monument Germany is considering of an American Veteran, Carl Schurz. I was going to point out the remains of my Janke grandparents being dug up and moved to the Union Cemetery in the middle of the night. If I had received anything that resembled a civil greeting from any member of Belmont Historical Society, I might have visited the Union Cemetery this very day – that Nikki Haley called our VP “unprofessional and unfit” . I suspect I was snubbed by the BHS because I posted some Oakland History of Kamala Harris. Politics makes up a huge chunk of our history. I just posted on my Patriot Rosamond Family…
I belong to a Black Panther group, and in response to a gentleman who said no white man would put down the KKK, I googled the Radical Republicans who specifically targeted the KKK, as did President Grant. Then I found the missing link I have been looking for for twelve years, or more. My kin, John Fremont, became a second Presidential Candidate when the Radical Democracy Party was formed – with the sole purpose of getting Lincoln to drop out of the race!
WHAT!?
The Radical Republicans hated Lincoln who betrayed their ideals on all men being free. Many of these Radicals were Turners, members of the German Turnverein. immigrants who fled to America after they lost their Revolution in Europe. Three of my grandfathers appear to have been Turners. It also looks like the New York Turner Rifles – were sabotaged! They were given smooth bore rifles and allegedly rifled rifles “later on”. I don’t buy it! They were ordered into open fields where they had an extreme disadvantage, The Traitors were able to shoot them at twice the range. Cannon fire waited for them in one field, and they are described as cowards – who ran! They were arrested for not following orders. Their service was up and they were due back in New York – for the elections. Montgomery Blair claims he lost to “foreigners”. How many others would lost thanks to the Germans?
I believe the Blair family set the Turner Rifles up for failure – so other Turners all over America would not join the War Against Slavery. Fremont was the first Presidential Candidate for the Republican, and lost. I have read articles that said Lincoln did not want to defeat the Confederacy. He believed they would come back into the Union if a show of force occurred. However, because the Radicals cited the Monroe Act, I suspect the Blairs and Lincoln were waiting for the French and British to enter the war on the side of the Confederacy. He would surrender, and the Turners would be destroyed – along with Fremont!
The Speaker of the House has a suspicion Trump will not leave office if her loses. He has stabbed Vindman in the back. I believe neo-Confederates put Trump in office. I would like to see the formation of the New Turner Rifles that will be located in Oakland California and St. Louis. Sone have suggested statues of Lincoln should be hauled down.
