Is Poster Child for What’s Wrong With
Early Voting

Some of us have been voting long enough that we can still remember when Election Day was just that—Election Day. Not Election Week. Not Election Month. Not Election Season. For most of American history, Election Day was called that for a reason: It was one day and done. Dating back to an act of Congress in 1845, for reasons we needn’t get into here, it’s been the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November ever since. Voters knew that and planned their schedules accordingly to make it to the polls on Election Day. For the frail and homebound elderly and for those who knew they would be traveling

It's not just election day. The polling from political campaigns and perpetual begging for donations has now become a four-year event. The more I get bothered by these people the less I will donate. I helped push Donald Trump over the finish line twice, I'm done.

Voting should be on Voting Day. NOT early, not late. ONE day.

I remember going to our voting place in the grade school (after work) and standing in a line that wound round and round the gymnasium, visiting with neighbors as we waited to cast our ballot. Anyone still in line after the polls closed were still allowed to vote. It worked for all those years until the democrats thought they would cheat a little more. Don't you wonder how many democrats would really be in office if they didn't have cheating to help them out!

Perhaps one day, polls open for 24 hours to accommodate as many voters schedules as possible.

I have seen candidates refuse to debate, refuse to give interviews, and delay answering questions due to early voting. Get as many votes as possible before the sheeple realize that you are incompetent.

The upcoming elections in Virginia have been more than a little wild to watch. Because they're off-year elections, there's not a whole lot else going on, so there is always a significant amount of attention on what's happening in the Old Dominion State. I kind of follow it anyway since I spent most of my Navy career there, and Cam lives there, so you know he's paying attention, but a lot of others are watching too. That's likely because many see Virginia as a bellwether for the midterm elections. The fact that the Democrats' attorney general candidate has turned out to be a complete and total trainwreck has certainly made

Two national public employee unions sued the Trump administration over its restrictions preventing illegal immigrants from obtaining commercial drivers licenses. The American Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees filed a petition for review against the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The employee unions challenged a rule implemented by Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy restricting foreign individuals from receiving commercial drivers licenses. Commercial drivers licenses are used for operating large vehicles such as tractor-trailers and buses. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia allow unauthorized immigrants to receive commercial drivers licenses.

Mavis Jones, the wife of Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones (D.), donated to a bail fund that frees murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals from jail, and urged her followers to do the same. "I just donated to the Minnesota freedom fund," Mavis Jones posted to X in May 2020, as Black Lives Matter rioters wreaked havoc in Minneapolis in the days following George Floyd’s death, and just months before marrying Jay Jones. She also linked to the group's donation page before adding, "please consider doing the same or donating to any of the *legitimate* organizations supporting protesters."

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Thursday released documents revealing that Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland, former FBI Director Chris Wray and corrupt DOJ official Lisa Monaco personally approved opening the “Arctic Frost” investigation into President Trump. Arctic Frost led to Jack Smith’s Trump 2020 alternate electors case. Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson earlier this year released new records detailing the FBI and DOJ’s sweeping investigation that formed the basis of Jack Smith’s DC case against President Trump. Grassley and Johnson previously blew the lid off another sham investigation orchestrated by Biden’s

Many Americans already believe the H-1B visa program was built to replace them at work. Now we’re finding out it is helping foreign workers buy homes too, with our tax dollars. In Oregon, there’s a taxpayer-funded initiative called the Down Payment Assistance Program, which hands out as much as $60,000 or 20 percent of a home’s sale price to qualifying buyers. It was pitched as “equity in housing,” but the fine print reveals that even foreign nationals on temporary work visas can tap into it. Yes, you read that right. People just passing through on a work visa can get a US taxpayer handout to buy up one

Chinese LSAT preparation companies have violated the security of remotely administered exams for years, allowing Chinese nationals to access stolen questions and take the place of qualified Americans, the CEO of a U.S. test preparation company told the Washington Free Beacon. The CEO, Dave Killoran of PowerScore, revealed that a Chinese whistleblower, frustrated with how easy cheating on the LSAT appeared to be, contacted him in May of this year with what he claimed were stolen questions. "After a review of those questions, I quickly determined they were actual LSAT questions," Killoran said. PowerScore and the Law School Admission Council (LSAC)—the body responsible for creating and administering the LSAT—are the only

Crockett made the comments during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Lurie Daniel Favors Show,” Axios reported.

And then the other option is every other day there’s a poll that comes out that makes it clear that I can win the primary for the U.S. Senate race in Texas,” Crockett said. “And I am looking.

Amazon is planning to replace more than half a million jobs in the US with robots, according to a new report. Warehouse automation will enable the e-commerce giant to avoid hiring over 600,000 people in the coming years, executives told Amazon’s board in 2024, according to the New York Times. That’s even though the company reportedly expects to sell twice as many products by 2033. The shift from human to robot is expected to unfold over the coming years, according to Tuesday’s article. Amazon plans to avoid hiring over 160,000 US workers by 2027 – saving the company about 30 cents on each item it ships

An illegal alien child rapist received thousands in taxpayer-funded Medicaid benefits, Health and Human Services (HHS) reveals, as Democrats and the establishment media claim that illegal aliens cannot receive such healthcare benefits. United States Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill on Wednesday posted the case of 38-year-old illegal alien Jose Trinidad Arreola-Ortega of Mexico, who was convicted of raping a young child in Kentucky. Despite the conviction, Arreola-Ortega was able to secure nearly $7,300 in taxpayer-funded Medicaid benefits. “Democrats are demanding continued funding for Arreola-Ortega’s Medicaid as a condition for reopening the government and paying the hardworking public servants at my department,” O’Neill wrote

Jason Miyares, Virginia's current attorney general who's running for reelection against odious Democrat Jay Jones, has been asking an important question this week: what is Jay Jones hiding? The question has to do with how Jones carried out his 1,000 hours of community service for his 2022 reckless driving conviction. Before the Jay Jones texting scandal blew up a few weeks ago – as you'll recall, he wished death upon a Republican rival and dreamed of seeing the wife of his rival cradling their dead children – we were talking about Jones' reckless driving conviction from 2022. Jones was clocked going 116 MPH in a 70 MPH zone; he pleaded

Sean Curran knew he had his work cut out for him when he agreed to head the Secret Service and help the troubled agency recover its reputation. Two assassination attempts against Donald Trump – and the less-than-candid response by the agency brass – had sullied the reputation of the once-storied agency and led to a raft of questions on Capitol Hill about whether the Secret Service had lost sight of its very purpose. Curran, the low-key former head of Trump’s campaign Secret Service detail, found himself heading an agency that had been undermined by cronyism, nepotism, and uneven discipline. In addition, the Biden administration’s shift to DEI hiring and promotions

Democrats to Create 'Master ICE

Senate Democrats aren't satisfied yet with the amount of violence directed at ICE and CBP agents, so they are planning to create what they call a "Master ICE Tracker to warn illegal aliens about ICE activity, and give Antifa militants more information about where exactly to position themselves for ambushes. Assaults on ICE agents have skyrocketed by 1000%, and the violence directed at them has escalated from throwing Subway sandwiches to taking potshots at them and ramming cars into agents. But, to Democrats, ICE is the modern Gestapo; it seems like this level of violence and resistance to law enforcement officers is not nearly enough.

Not content to live off of her legacy of skyrocketing murder and street crime in Chicago, the leftist pol is now part of a team that includes equally morally dubious attorneys who are forming a not-for-profit organization called the “ICE Accountability Project.” She told Chicago’s Fox 32 that the objective is to “unmask” ICE officers who are assigned to work on ICE’s Operation Midway Blitz.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, even as she already faces fraud charges and an ever-expanding scandal of criminal allegations, has launched a portal for Democrats to report and therefore dox ICE agents. After an ICE raid where federal officers arrested nine illegal aliens with criminal records in New York City, James and other Democrats flipped their lids, screaming about alleged abuses. Following the example of Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and his fellow House and California Democrats, James launched her own ICE reporting portal, which could potentially justify yet more charges against her for violating federal immigration law. James proudly announced in a press release on Oct. 22 that she is

Perhaps the most characteristic quality of our historical moment is the sheer nastiness of the Left. And by Left, I don’t mean the socialist extreme, I mean the entire Democratic Party. We see it all the time, literally every day. This is one of thousands of instances: Jen Psaki, former White House Press Secretary, now a professional representative of the Democratic Party, insulted Usha Vance, wife of the vice president: She asserted that Mrs. Vance, 39, mother of 3, was afraid of her overly “ambitious” husband, 41, who’s even worse than the 79-year-old Trump. Vance is overly ambitious because Psaki thinks he wants to be president. Unlike, among many other vice presidents,
