Wouldn't it be interesting if after he did that, the Legislature voted to override his veto? flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Iowa has passed a similar law, and it's driving the libs and the media (one and the same) crazy: Iowa voters embraced early voting. Then Republicans rushed to restrict it. Tom Barton 14 hrs ago As prospects for a federal voting rights bill flounder, Iowans who prefer to vote early will likely face more difficulties casting a ballot in the next election. Iowa voters will have less time and fewer options to vote early in person or by mail-in ballot under sweeping changes to Iowa election laws passed this spring — the first in a Republican-backed nationwide push to pass so-called election-integrity measures critics warn will disenfranchise voters. A raft of new restrictions in GOP-led states has sparked passionate debate across the country about voting rights, with President Joe Biden issuing a plea for legislation in Congress to protect the right to vote. Biden pledged that June would be a "month of action" on Capitol Hill as Congress considers the legislation, and he tasked Vice President Kamala Harris with leading the administration’s efforts to defend voting rights. But months before, Iowa Republicans had moved swiftly in the legislative season to place new hurdles to casting ballots before Election Day, limiting a voting method that has had growing appeal for both Democrats and Republicans. Nearly 6 of 10 Iowa voters cast ballots before Election Day 2020... ... The lawsuit claims the new law creates an undue burden on the fundamental right to vote, citing numerous violations of voters' constitutional rights. It claims none of the provisions of the new law will make elections more secure or increase public confidence in the electoral process, but instead imposes "undue and unjustified burdens on a wide range of lawful voters, including some of the state's most vulnerable and underrepresented citizens." "This is because the bill is an exercise in voter suppression, one disguised as a solution for a problem that exists only in the fertile imaginations of its creators," the lawsuit states....

I still don't understand why we have "Election Day" when people seem to believe that they can vote whenever they feel like it. | |||

Because that's the only way to make it honest and fair. Everyone must show photo ID. Everyone votes on "Election Day". Maybe we should value fair elections enough to do that again? Happy birthday to President Trump ! "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

This letter lines up w some things DiGenova said in the above letter seen at CTH Garland is a political hack. I've been reluctant to post it because we have been disappointed so many times, but there are reports that the Arizona audit has discovered many of the 2.1 million Maricopa County ballots are missing. This is a "watch item" to see if it turns out to be true. Mark Brnovich also just announced he will try to be the Republican candidate to run against Mark Kelly for the Arizona senate seat in 2022. | |||

and from Georgia ??? GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger tweets: "Restoring confidence in our elections is going to be impossible as long as Fulton County’s elections leadership continues to fail the voters of Fulton County and the voters of Georgia. They need new leadership to step up and take charge." "New revelations that Fulton County is unable to produce all ballot drop box transfer documents will be investigated thoroughly, as we have with other counties that failed to follow Georgia rules and regulations regarding drop boxes. This cannot continue." I am pretty sure the claims about no ballot box transfer documents were made months ago A reminder - Mark Zuckerberg gave $350 million to DEM cities to help run the 2020 election and to set up drop boxes for mail in ballots. He was a key enabler of the mail in fraud and cheating. | |||

Yep. Garland will do anything possible to interfere, to obfuscate, and to keep the truth from coming out. What's so frustrating is knowing the election was stolen but being treated as a pariah for speaking it. The truth could have been pursued in a timely manner, but the weak Roberts led Supreme Court didn't want to have anything to do with it. That enabled the media to say: "Nothing to see here... move along!" Biden was installed, but I suspect even most Democrats know he wasn't elected. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies.

From your lips (well...keyboard) to God's ears...... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

It Garland wants to interfere in states rights, how can we interfere with Garland? Wonder what skeletons he has buried? Wonder what his past would show? He needs to be Bork’d to the extreme. He is nothing more than a partisan hack just like Janet Reno was a brilliant AG. | |||

https://nypost.com/2021/06/15/...xico-border-june-30/ Trump, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to visit US-Mexico border June 30 Former President Donald Trump announced Tuesday he will visit the US-Mexico border region with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott at the end of this month to draw attention to what he called “grave and willful dereliction of duty” by his successor. “The Biden Administration inherited from me the strongest, safest, and most secure border in US history and in mere weeks they turned it into the single worst border crisis in US history,” Trump said in a lengthy statement. “It’s an unmitigated disaster zone.” “We went from detain-and-remove to catch-and-release. We went from having border security that was the envy of the world to a lawless border that is now pitied around the world,” Trump’s statement continued. “Biden and Harris have handed control of our border over to cartels, criminals, and coyotes. Drug dealers, MS-13 gang members, human smugglers, sex traffickers, and the criminal elements of the world now have free reign [sic]. Hospitals and schools are getting crushed and public health is being sacrificed all in service of a radical left anti-borders agenda.” “Our brave border agents and courageous ICE officers have been illegally stopped from doing their jobs,” the 45th president claimed. “Our Nation is now one giant sanctuary city where even dangerous criminals are being cut loose and set free inside the US interior on a daily basis … My visit will hopefully shine a spotlight on these crimes against our Nation—and show the incredible people of ICE and Border Patrol that they have our unshakeable support.” | |||

Project Veritas released a new video today featuring a sit-down interview with recently-suspended Fox 26 reporter, Ivory Hecker, who blew the whistle on her own network for what she says are acts of deception. She claims the station’s editorial decisions are an affront to honest journalism. | |||

She is not the first person to mention “an unspoken, unwritten narrative” that “journalists” are basically forced to follow. She is 100% correct in describing it as something they sense or are able to see as writers of certain articles with specific political leanings will advance and others will not. How do I know this? I was researching the life of Andrew Breitbart a few weeks ago and eventually found an article in Rolling Stone where Matt Taibbi basically celebrates his death. Matt was giddy because he didn’t like Andrew’s politics. My first reaction was anger but it quickly changed to amazement. The next thing I did was an internet search. I typed “Matt Taibbi downfall”. What I saw next amazed and intrigued me and sent me down a hell of a rabbit hole. I stayed up all night absolutely shocked at what I was reading. Matt’s article apparently kicked a hornets nest, those who admired Andrew Breitbart’s incendiary and brutally honest rhetoric now wanted to destroy Matt. Within no time of popping up on the radar of Andrew’s faithful Matt Taibbi was having to deal with a two front war. He was seeing attacks from the left and right for his “misogynistic views on women” and objectionable things he had written in the past. Taking fire from both sides may have motivated Taibbi to write Hate Inc. which appears to be a somewhat half hearted attempt at an honest portrayal of the media and how it muzzles journalists and pushes an unspoken agenda. He even admits the media wants Americans to fight with ourselves and all but admits to a divisive agenda. It’s a most interesting topic to study. If this country rips itself apart (I’m beginning to think it’s inevitable) our media’s dishonesty and the elite ruling classes greed, complete disregard for truth, justice and honesty and absolute obsession with power will be the singular most important problem that led to the destruction of this nation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

^^^^ The press are the final firewall for our republic. A complicit, corrupt press let politicians, academics, big entertainment and big tech trample the truth to serve an agenda. The press could have a field day, they should love blood in the water, they now ignore it. It wasn't that long ago, jackass Colorado professor Ward Churchill made national news with his America-hating venom. He got some attention as opposed to none, as such he was open to scrutiny. Today he'd not make a blip on the national consciousness. The closest we've had to an alternative voice to the corrupt old media industrial complex has been talk radio. It's made it's mark but ultimately has a limited role in the national dialog. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||
