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.
The Democrats Brazen Hypocrisy on Texas Redistricting 6 replies

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.

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 House of Representatives burst into chaos as Speaker Mike Johnson attempted to lead a prayer for Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated in Utah on Wednesday. Father-of-two Kirk, 31, the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization that regularly holds events on college campuses nationwide, was shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem and died about two and half hours later. His assassination not only devastated many members of Congress who knew the activist personally, but unleashed sadness, confusion and anger among lawmakers in the Capitol on both sides of the political spectrum.

During MSNBC’s coverage of Kirk’s shooting, anchor Katy Tur asked Dowd about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens.” Dowd responded with the following about Kirk: “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups.

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot Wednesday during a Q&A session at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Video from the event shows Kirk was struck near the neck. While details about his condition remain unclear, reports suggest he’s been hospitalized. Unfornately, the mainstream media’s reaction to the shooting has been as disgusting as you could have predicted. Over at CNN, Kristen Holmes dubbed Kirk “a controversial figure at times,” adding: “He goes into these various college campuses, uh, pushes conservative issues, gets into back and f—heated back and forth often with these students on these college campuses. But of course, uh, none of that is violent.”

WASHINGTON – Read the opinions for yourself.

The majority said the administration can for now resume the indiscriminate immigration-related stops in southern California that sparked protests and charges of racial profiling. In her dissent for the court’s three liberals, Sotomayor said the majority’s decision “is yet an­other grave misuse of our emergency docket.” “We should not have to live in a country where

WARNING - President Trump's latest crackdown on prescription drug advertisements may cause Big Pharma executives to experience insomnia, tension headaches, a feeling of loss of control, and an upset stomach. Trump signed an executive memorandum on Tuesday, directing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enhance transparency in direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising. It calls for mandating more detailed disclosures of side effects. This initiative, spearheaded by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will address violations in drug ads without imposing an outright ban on those ads.

The FBI is facing questions over an airport that was left open after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, with speculation brewing over a jet that could be linked to his murder. (snip)Speculation on social media has pointed to a private jet that left the airport shortly after the single shot that killed the conservative activist rang out. Flight tracking data shows the jet left the airport shortly after 2pm and headed south towards the Arizona border before it disappeared from radars. It then reappeared on radars and returned to Provo roughly one hour after leaving the airport.
