Democracy Depends on Voter ID
Posted By: Moritz55, 7/8/2022 7:09:48 PM
As the federal government under President Biden continues its attempts to undermine the authority of the states to regulate their own elections — unconstitutional and unprecedented federal actions — states are reasserting their power by passing reforms that will protect the integrity of the electoral process. Louisiana is a national leader on this and should continue its work of making it easy to vote and hard to cheat. Election integrity is vital to a healthy democracy because Americans need to have confidence that their votes are protected. A breakdown in any part of ballot protection can weaken this confidence, lead to questions regarding the legitimacy of election outcomes

Boris and Biden made the same mistakes

The departure of Boris Johnson, who this morning announced that he would resign as British prime minister and Conservative leader, prompted the latest round in a years-long game of comparing him to a blond bombshell political disruptor on this side of the Atlantic.
Johnson’s insistence that he cling on to the bitter end offered fresh ammo for the peddlers of the case that he is the British Trump. But sulking for a day or two before throwing in the towel isn’t exactly January 6, and a self-centered determination to fight on isn’t unusual among politicians who make it to the top. More generally, as Freddy Gray explains, the overwrought Trump-Johnson comparisons

Brooke Jenkins, the disgruntled former prosecutor who quit Chesa Boudin’s office to become the face of the recall, has been tabbed by Mayor London Breed to be the next District Attorney.
It is a bold and combustible move from the mayor — of the names on Breed’s list, Jenkins is surely the riskiest choice.
In Jenkins, 40, the mayor has elevated a smart, tough and outspoken prosecutor who even former legal adversaries — who were deeply disturbed by this choice — described as talented and formidable. Jenkins is both Black and Latina (but is not San Francisco’s first Black female DA; you’ll recall Vice President Kamala Harris).
In the wake of school shutdowns, distance learning, and widely publicized school board battles, two trends have become increasingly difficult to conceal. The first is the failure of many of America’s primary and secondary schools to educate children competently—a failure marked by distressingly low levels of student proficiency and widening achievement gaps in core subjects like math and reading. The second is the growing prominence of radical ideology in the nation’s K-12 classrooms.
Equally disturbing is evidence that these trends are largely correlated and that an iron triangle of self-interested actors is contributing to their acceleration in school districts across the country—even those esteemed for high achievement.

Mayra Flores’ stunning victory last week in Texas’ 34th Congressional District shows that the culture war dominating America’s public discourse is not really about race. Her district, which runs from west of San Antonio to the border town of Brownsville, is 85% Hispanic, which is the second highest proportion in the country. It went for Barack Obama in 2012, Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Joe Biden in 2020, albeit by diminishing margins. The region is now represented on Capitol Hill by a Republican, which hadn’t been the case for approximately 150 years. Flores’ story could not be more different than her headline-grabbing counterpart in the Democratic Party, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. CORRECTION*
The Fourth of July weekend began with #ImpeachJoeBiden trending on Twitter. There appeared to be no illegal act cited as a basis for impeachment; instead, people were reacting to this tweet: "Former Senior Obama advisor David Axelrod to Jake Tapper of CNN: Things in the country are ‘out of control’ and Biden is ‘not in command.’"Americans are furious, despondent, and fed up with President Joe Biden. They agree with David Axelrod; the country has gone off the rails and the president seems utterly incapable of fixing what’s wrong.
World-famous industrialist billionaire and possible future owner of Twitter Elon Musk slammed the platform's current leadership with a humorous tweet on July 4 then agreed with another user bemoaning Jordan Peterson's suspension by saying the company's "going way too far in squashing dissenting opinions." Musk appeared to get into the spirit of Independence Day by sharing a fake Tweet depicting "Twitter in 1775" where iconic American historical figure Paul Revere was fact-checked by Twitter for saying, "The British are coming, the British are coming!" The fake tweet depicted a misinformation label reading, "Learn how British taxes are beneficial for society."
Last Thursday, the Supreme Court officially ended its term after releasing final opinions on a number of cases.
But the Supreme Court still hasn't revealed who leaked the draft opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization at the beginning of May. “It’s been 63 days since the draft Dobbs opinion leaked, and the Supreme Court leaker has still not been identified.”
The July 4th holiday brings out the best of America. Americans come together to honor the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, pay tribute to the stars and stripes and reflect on the values our nation represents. As we celebrate Independence Day, I think about the sacrifices my family made, the accomplishments this country has allowed people like me to achieve and the need to keep fighting to ensure future generations can achieve their dream.
As an immigrant who came here legally as a young girl, I’ve been able to put myself through school, have a career, raise a family and now serve my community
The Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health decision which overturned Roe v. Wade was made inside the marble halls of the United States Supreme Court. However, it might not have been possible without a decision made years ago on the Caribbean island of St. Thomas, located about 30 miles east of Puerto Rico. On Feb. 13, 2016, then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., stepped off a plane ready to enjoy a tropical vacation when he learned Justice Antonin Scalia died, according to his memoir, "The Long Game." With his members scattered all over the world and a GOP presidential debate the same night, McConnell promptly drafted a statement declaring that
Leftist Gustavo Petro, a former member of the M-19 guerrilla movement who has vowed profound social and economic change, will be Colombia's next president after beating construction magnate Rodolfo Hernandez in an election on Sunday.
Petro, a current senator and previous mayor of Bogota, won 50.8% of votes, figures from the national registry office showed, while Hernandez trailed by 797,973 votes, tallying 46.9%.
The European Parliament is urging sanctions against former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder because of his business and political ties to Russia.
The EU legislature passed a resolution on Thursday that said sanctions following the invasion of Ukraine should be extended "to the European members of the boards of major Russian companies and to politicians who continue to receive Russian money."
Schröder, who was chancellor from 1998 to 2005 before working for the pipeline company Nord Stream and Russia's Gazprom, has been under fire in Germany for his ties to Russia.
The EU parliament call for sanctions follows a decision by Berlin to cut back Schröder's special rights as an ex-chancellor.

The Washington Free Beacon’s Collin Anderson released a bombshell report that Biden’s Department of Energy sold one million barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of Sinopec. Sinopec is wholly owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party.

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order Thursday allowing the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Texas National Guard to arrest and return illegal migrants to the border.
“While President Biden refuses to do his job and enforce the immigration laws enacted by Congress, the State of Texas is once again stepping up and taking unprecedented action to protect Americans and secure our southern border. The cartels have become emboldened and enriched by President Biden’s open border policies, smuggling in record numbers of people, weapons, and deadly drugs like fentanyl,” Abbott said in a statement.

Bell wore the shirt of Friday’s episode of CNN’s At This Hour, which he appeared on to promote the new season of his CNN show, United Shades of America.

A left-wing activist group is encouraging users on social media to tweet the location of any of the conservative Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts in exchange for money.
The six conservative justices were the majority who voted to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision last month. June. Since then, pro-abortion activists have repeatedly protested outside the justices' homes and, in some cases, confronted them in public.

An Army training slide obtained by Breitbart News instructs soldiers to shower with transgender members of the opposite sex even if they have not undergone a surgical transition.

The slide, titled “Soldier/Unit Training Barracks, Bathrooms, and Showers,” reads:
