A former Tennessee official and her husband pleaded guilty on Thursday to illegally producing “hundreds” (of) Tennessee driver’s licenses for sale to illegal immigrants. Cheryl Huff and husband Mario Paz-Mejia, both of Knoxville, pleaded guilty to one “count of conspiracy to produce, without lawful authority, identification documents or false identification documents,” according to the Department of Justice (DOJ), which revealed in a press release that Huff abused her position at the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security (TDSHS) to create the illicit documents.

Why are states so casual with DLs, passports, and such. They've become our identity for a myriad of secure positions, as well as ID for financial services. The people who issue these should not be just anyone who applies for the job, but be thoroughly vetted.

this person should get about 6 months in prison for each illegal license issued and the licenses should be hunted down and the holders deported.

Under images for that name and state there is a picture of a woman at the DMV holding a sign that says "The Takeover continues"...it was apparently part of a "Move over save lives" program around road construction crews. What a "Takeover" has to do with that? Anyone's guess.

That's one of the reasons the "mass migration" is happening now. Enroll them in Medicare. Issue drivers licenses to them. All so that these illegal aliens can register to vote for a certain political party that starts with a "D", just in time for the 2024 election.

I just now emailed my state legislators about this. They were only charged with one count! What a crock of Barbra Streisand!!! I want them locked away forever. They are worse than criminals; they are traitors to their neighbors, state, and nation. I'm so sick of the kid-glove approach to these crimes. These crimes have deadly consequences every damn day. But, they will sob and promise, and get a slap on the wrist. A little jail time, a small fine with community service, then they will walk away.

Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden posted Christmas greetings, but they declined to mention the reason for the season, the baby Jesus. Instead, they gave generic greetings and in Biden's case, nonsensical ones. Biden used the concept of "stillness" as a stand-in for Jesus, which is bizarre since babies are rarely still and Christians don't give gifts to celebrate a "still" birth. "This Christmas Eve," Biden said, "my wish for you and your family is that you take a few moments of quiet reflection and find that stillness that's at the center of the Christmas story.

A pandering “bottom up…middle out” pay bump for federal employees celebrated by President Joe Biden was panned as a “slap in the face to ordinary Americans” heading into an election year. With the swipe of a pen Thursday, the president delivered an early Christmas present to federal workers even larger than the year before in the form of a 5.2% taxpayer-funded raise. While sycophants celebrated the highest increase of its kind since 1980, as in around the last time inflation was soaring, realists doused cold water on the move.

Nebraska GOP Congressman Jeff Fortenberry last year resigned from Congress after being convicted of lying to the FBI. “Due to the difficulties of my current circumstances, I can no longer serve you effectively,” Fortenberry said in a statement. Kevin McCarthy joined then-Speaker Pelosi and called for Fortenberry to step down last year.“I think when someone’s convicted, it’s time to resign,” McCarthy told reporters last year, according to Politico. “Congressman Fortenberry’s conviction represents a breach of the public trust and confidence in his ability to serve.

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” ― Robert Heinlein - After nearly two centuries of uninterrupted economic and population growth, California has hit a pothole in the road.

In 1862, Dakota Indians went on a mass murder spree, butchering more than 600 innocent whites, mostly women and children. The Indians murdered babies, beating their brains out and nailing them to trees. They tortured children. They engaged in gang rape on a mass scale. That slaughter was the worst massacre by either whites or Indians from 1492 to the present. On a per capita basis, it was five times the carnage of September 11. If that narrative sounds familiar, it should. What the Dakota did in 1862 was remarkably similar to what Gazans did on October 7.
