  • Southern GOP Kills Black Voting Rights, Gas Prices Up 50% From Iran War, Giuliani's Death Grift

    Southern GOP Kills Black Voting Rights, Gas Prices Up 50% From Iran War, Giuliani's Death Grift
    May 8 2026
    Look Forward exposes how Southern Republicans are systematically destroying Black voting rights because the Confederacy never died, it just rebranded as the modern GOP. We break down the ongoing assault on Black political representation nationwide, especially in former Confederate states. Gas prices are up 50% on average since Trump launched his illegal Iran war, devastating American families while the conflict drags on. CIA intelligence suggests the "excursion" is going exactly as poorly as predicted.

    Chief Justice John Roberts is reportedly sad that being a corrupt hack will define his lasting legacy on the Supreme Court. Rudy Giuliani, even on death's door, continues his grifting lifestyle. Kamala Harris demands the DNC release its 2024 election autopsy report. The GOP's White House ballroom price tag keeps mysteriously increasing, now potentially costing taxpayers over a billion dollars. The FBI raids the office of a top Democratic leader in Virginia who led the state's anti-gerrymandering effort.

    Ivermectin is back! MAGA world pushes horse paste for hantavirus treatment. We connect the dots: CDC staffing cuts led to cruise ship norovirus outbreaks. And Kash Patel definitely has a bourbon collection.

    We cover voting rights destruction, Iran war costs, Roberts' regret, and the week's corruption and stupidity.

    Was Trump Attack Staged?, SCOTUS Guts Voting Rights Act, Trump Plans Cuba Invasion
    May 3 2026
    Look Forward breaks down the third apparent Trump assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner—and why conspiracy theories immediately flooded social media questioning if it was staged. Cole Tomas Allen stormed the Washington Hilton with guns and knives, but his defense argues the DOJ case is "built entirely upon speculation." Trump is using the incident to push his controversial White House ballroom project while blaming Jimmy Kimmel for "inciting violence."

    The Supreme Court chips away at the Voting Rights Act AGAIN in Louisiana v. Callais, green-lighting extreme gerrymandering. AOC calls for blue states to fight back harder. Louisiana's governor suspends an active election to allow GOP gerrymandering, and Alabama rushes to redistrict. Federal courts ban mailing abortion pills in certain states. Trump announces plans to "take over" Cuba before finishing his Iran war. Janet Mills drops out of Maine's Senate race, giving Democrat Graham Platner a clear path to take on Susan Collins in the general election.

    Trump's inflation polling now worse than Jimmy Carter's historic lows. Trump demands ABC fire comedian Jimmy Kimmel because he made a joke, and FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatens Disney's broadcast licenses. James Comey gets indicted over an Instagram seashell photo that allegedly threatened Trump's life. And Trump resurfaces the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in tacky blue.
