The Postmark is Not What You Think

Original Article

Posted By: glagrone2020, 9/10/2025 8:20:06 AM

For the United States Supreme Court, State courts, clerk’s offices, businesses and people all over the Country, a “postmark” was the date stamped on a piece of first-class mail by the U.S. Postal Service indicating the day the piece of mail was received by the Postal Service. That meaning of a “postmark” is soon to be no more. The USPS has a “new” meaning for a postmark and wants to make the new meaning official through a proposed regulation. The change carries real implications for taxpayers, voter registration by mail, voting by mail, as well as the legal profession.

Try this link, https://www.savethepostoffice.com/say-goodbye-to-the-same-day-postmark/ If you recall the energy Al Gore and other Democrats put into disqualifying military ballots sent from abroad, you can well expect further hijinks when postmarks are no longer definitive.

I can easily get by with one, maybe two deliveries a week. Just leave the junk mail on the P.O. floor.

Thank you #1. So, the already crappy "service " from the post office gets dumber down even farther, as they double the cost. Huge price increases, bigger decreases in service.

"The change carries real implications for taxpayers, voter registration by mail, voting by mail, as well as the legal profession." Get ready for mail to double as people sending mail (especially for tax and legal purposes) start sending copies to themselves for proof of when a recipient was supposed to get it. When the IRS calls up and says your tax filing wasn't postmarked on or before 4/15 or your extension wasn't postmarked on the required date either, the senders will have their copies to themselves to fall back on and say, "I got my copy and the postmark clearly says mm/dd/yyyy date. Talk to the post office and ask them why you didn't receive your copy." Take pictures of yourself dropping the mail in the PO box.

Yes, twice this year it took 2 weeks+ for my utility payment to arrive at it's destination. So after receiving notice of same, I paid the bill online. Ended up getting a credit when the check arrived. I now pay many bills by the BILL PAY function in my brokerage account. Way easier and more secure. PS; I also received some paperwork in the mail totally mangled. Just sweet. Never got credit for that one. The less you use the USPS the better off you are.

Looks like this is designed to ensure the vote by mail can be used for massive cheating if this ends up being enacted. If there is no postmark to confirm a piece of mail was received they can essentially put as many ballots into the system without any real chain of custody back up.

I have received first class mail up to five days past the post mark and some without a post mark. This gives new meaning to the term “Snail-mail.” By delaying when the post mark is applied, mail will look like delivery time has improved. Very misleading.

On August 12, 2025, an illegal alien, Harjinder Singh, who obtained a Commercial Driver’s License from the State of California, killed three people by blocking the highway while making an illegal U turn in Florida. During an interview with investigators from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on August 14, 2025, Singh demonstrated a lack of understanding of the English Language and was only able to correctly answer 2 of 12 verbal questions and accurately identify 1 of 4 highway signs. How did Harjinder Singh get in the USA? How did he get a Commercial Driver’s License? Are there more truckers like him? The answers will shock you.
Team Trump Keeps Winning Case after Case

I wrote previously about the out of control federal judiciary and the measures Congress and higher federal courts could take to rein in the activist judges. One of those remedies was for the United States Supreme Court to disallow the use of Nationwide Injunctions. SCOTUS ruled against the use of Nationwide Injunctions under the Judiciary Act of 1789, as I wrote about here (though, the High Court left the door open to the abuse of the Nationwide Injunction under other authorities, such as “class action” relief). In the meantime, the Trump Administration just keeps winning one case after another.

Democrats in the Texas Legislature were carted to Illinois to try to prevent the Texas Legislature from considering redistricting in the Special Session called by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. While there, the AWOL Texas Democrat legislators, and other prominent Democrat politicians all over the Country, claimed the effort by Texas Republicans to redistrict is “cheating,” “outrageous” and a “threat” to democracy. As usual, the Democrats are guilty of what they accuse Republicans. Democrats are the ones who conduct partisan redistricting all over America. When they gerrymander districts, however, they claim that is “democracy at work.” Here is the truth.

Conservative media are understandably consumed by the revelations surrounding the Clinton Campaign and Democrat Party’s Russia Collusion Hoax, and rightfully so. I wrote extensively about the Russia Collusion Hoax in Volumes 2 and 3 of the Fake News Exposed about Trump series. I find it gratifying to see more truth come out about that Clinton Campaign/DNC initiated propaganda campaign. At the same time, some of President Trump’s most impactful public policy, trade policy and legislative wins are being overlooked. This article will focus on more of President Trump’s economic and legislative wins.

I suppose doom and gloom sells newspapers and gets clicks, because the media, including conservative media, trip all over themselves highlighting the Trump Administration’s set backs in federal court. The Trump Administration’s wins in federal court get much less attention. Nevertheless, the Trump Administration keeps chalking up wins in this endless sea of litigation. Some of these wins are huge. Here are a couple more.

When President Trump reached the 100 day mark in this his second term, Fake News Media and their counterparts in the Democrat Party went into overdrive pushing the narrative that Trump is the most “unpopular President” ever. These claims were based on selected public opinion polls. The polls were misinformation and, sadly, this was not the first time bad polling was used to push a leftist narrative. In the “age of Trump” public opinion polling from the many of the prominent legacy media polling outfits is slanted heavily toward Democrats and the left. The results repeatedly favor the Democrats and leftists causes.

Every time a leftist judge issues any ruling against the Trump Administration, the Fake News Media hyperventilates reporting about it. Yet, when the Trump Administration prevails in federal court, even when leftist district judges get rebuked by higher courts, the Fake News Media’s reporting is much more subdued. Team Trump notched several more court victories of late. I wrote about several of these victories in previous articles. Here are a couple more.

While the number of the (often frivolous) legal challenges filed against the Trump Administration is utterly ridiculous, the Fake News Media says very little about the Trump Administration’s victories, while rulings against the Trump Administrationg are relentlessly reported. In this article, I will shine some light on a few more of the Trump Administration’s important legal victories. Among the recent victories are cases involving Refugee Resettlement, efforts to dox (obtain the identities) of DOGE personnel and efforts to block DOGE personnel from working on the dismantling of the rogue agency USAID.

The massive amount of orchestrated legal attacks against the Trump Administration is unprecedented. The litigation tracker by the law and policy journal Just Security tags the number of cases against the Trump Administration at 112. The sheer volume of the cases, the speed at which the cases develop, and the oftentimes inaccurate media reports about those developments, make staying abreast of the cases a daunting task. As I waded into these cases, one issue I noticed is a lack of reporting on the Trump Administration’s wins. In this article, I will address a couple of the Trump Administration’s victories in the ongoing lawfare battles.

The U.N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Friday to support a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict and urge Israel to commit to a Palestinian state, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vehemently opposes. The 193-member world body approved a nonbinding resolution endorsing the “New York Declaration,” which sets out a phased plan to end the nearly 80-year conflict. The vote was 142-10 with 12 abstentions. Hours before the vote, Netanyahu said “there will be no Palestinian state.” He spoke at the signing of an agreement to expand settlements that will divide the West Bank, which the Palestinians insist must be part of their state, saying, “This place belongs to us.”
Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Flipped

What the left’s public execution of Charlie Kirk has done to mobilize the MAGA movement is something I never expected to see. For more than 20 years, I’ve been a part of the conservative movement. Never a mover or shaker, but a cog happy to be overpaid to do my part. And an observer. Always an observer. Last week, after the terrible news arrived that Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk had been assassinated, I observed something remarkable. It was so remarkable, it’s difficult to find the words, but I’ll try… It was as if some years ago someone downloaded a computer program directly into the fractured and fragile right-of-center movement,

WASHINGTON — Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from a male to a female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday. That individual, who has yet to be identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News’ Brooke Singman. Text messages and other communications that the transgender individual traded with Robinson, 22, helped the feds nab the accused assassin. Federal and

Australia is once again trying to return to its roots as a prison colony, as the state of New South Wales reaffirmed that it is illegal to pray that “transgender” people will accept the sexes God gave them. It is difficult to wrap one’s mind around the fact that formerly Christian Western “democracies” like Scotland and Australia are actually enacting laws against prayer. Australia’s New South Wales (NSW) enacted a law earlier this year that the state’s attorney general, Michael Daley, just affirmed does in fact ban not only praying with but praying for people to recover from the mental illness

Vast crowds of Britons waving the Union Jack and St George flags descended on central London on Saturday for the “Unite the Kingdom” rally organised by veteran anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson. The demonstration comes in the wake of local protests throughout the country over the Summer in opposition to the mass migration agenda imposed upon the UK and the government scheme to house supposed asylum seekers in hotels at taxpayers’ expense, which became a flashpoint of anger following the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl by an illegal immigrant from Ethiopia living in a hotel in Epping.

Office Depot is facing backlash and even boycott calls after a Michigan store allegedly refused to print a poster of slain conservative commentator Charlie Kirk for a vigil, with a GOP official blasting the company online and calling the move censorship. Matthew DePerno, an attorney and Republican activist, said the Kalamazoo County Republican Party ordered the poster at 2:24 p.m. Friday from the Office Depot in Portage, MI, for a vigil honoring Kirk scheduled for that evening. But around 5:30 p.m., DePerno said a store print supervisor named “Beryl” called and told organizers the order would not be completed because the poster was “propaganda.”

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there was a sigh of relief when the suspected shooter finally got caught. But now, according to reports, investigators are looking into whether this was more than just a radicalized young man with a gun and perhaps part of a bigger conspiracy. While the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, sits in custody, the FBI’s probe is beginning to suggest that this was no simple case of a disturbed individual snapping. What’s emerging looks far more deliberate, disturbingly organized, and rooted in the leftist networks that have turned political violence into a feature of modern activism.
