Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 8/31/2024 9:13:07 PM

The California Assembly passed a bill that would ban voter identification requirements from being enacted at local government levels. Senate Bill 1174, which passed in a 57-16 vote, would “prohibit a local government from enacting or enforcing any charter provision, ordinance, or regulation requiring a person to present identification for the purpose of voting or submitting a ballot at any polling place, voter center, or other location where ballots are cast or submitted, as specified.” The bill was introduced by California State Sen. David Min (D) and co-sponsored by California state Sen. Josh Newman (D).

If voter ID is somehow a racist inconvenience then we must insist that an ID for any reason whatsoever be eliminated. People use an ID everyday for 100 different reasons. And no one seems to be too inept to produce said ID. But that is beside the point. We are really just covering for ID racism and must smash through this glass ceiling of white supremacy. Getting on a plane, or getting into a Federal Building, signing up for welfare, picking up a narcotic prescription, buying a bottle of 12 year old Scotch or renting an apartment should not be more important than voting. So do away with ID at every level. Let us run a mock at the polling station. Why have any rules at all? FKH is from CA and has helped that state become completely unlivable. Nothing would make her happier than to turn America into a larger version of CA. And she will try. This is why they let in millions and millions of illegal aliens. Identification, who needs stinking identification? It makes it harder to cheat. This is disgusting and pathetic and wrong. No law and order, no respect for American citizens. To me this is very scary and the only reason why they push this is to cheat.

If this gets signed into law, conservatives in CA should refuse to present an ID for any reason. If they meet resistance, take the mater to court. This is selective lawfare.

Do it anyway, or as others have stated, Republicans go vote everywhere, early and often. They just sanctioned it, made it law, so there's no crime being committed if you do.

California goes blue in every election regardless of the level of cheating. The democrats are ingrained there like ticks and too much cash changes hands for them to go any other way. The high prices, high taxes and level of corruption indicates total democrat mafia-like control. There is no honest reason not to require voter ID.

When there is no fidelity to laws passed which were proposed, discussed and debated, amended, and then actually voted upon and approved by lower and upper houses of representatives and signed into law by the elected official of the people, and then someone proposed to BREAK the law in order to get around the law or to vacate its precepts and regulations, then you live in a state of chaos, and THAT is California--- no wonder people who want to live free of this tyranny are moving out in droves!

If the Democrats who control the California legislature passed a State level voter ID law, then knocking out local voter ID laws would have been the right way to cover themselves. You have to ask why the California Democrats would not want such a State level voter ID law since they have won every election there for decades? Probably for inclusion purposes so that a good percentage of the massive number of aliens, both illegal and legal who have been ensconced in California feel that they are included in the Democrat majority of voters there by easily being able to vote after they are automatically registered to vote under provisions of the Clinton era Federal so-called Motor-Voter laws, that provide that all persons applying for State issued drivers licenses or State ID cards be automatically registered to vote in USA, with State or local voter registrars being prohibited from inquiring about the citizenship status of any person they are registering to vote. Why register all comers, of course including non-US Citizens to vote, if you do not expect them to unlawfully vote? That has been going on all over the country since the Clinton era and has effectively turned the US voter registration system into a (dis) honor system. The Democrats know that the Motor-Voter laws effectively favor them as the vast majority of illegal aliens, and a lot of legalized aliens, are poor and uneducated Third World origin peoples, who are considered under Democrat identity politics schemes to be members of minority groups who rely on all sorts of public welfare and other support programs, and are therefore very likely to support and vote for leftist and progressive Democrats who claim to intend to grant illegal aliens, who because of their low incomes and large families, after tax deductions and tax credits, actually pay little or no income taxes, “free” everything at taxpayer’s expense, of course in return for their expected future votes. When you get to the bottom line on all the so-called current voter ID laws that are in force across the country, most of them are completely ineffective as the ID documents that people are expected to present as voter ID, such as State issued drivers licenses, State ID cards, and other allowed forms of such ID, do not show that the holder is actually a US Citizen who is lawfully qualified to vote in US elections.

Donald Trump says he will end the Justice Department moratorium on executions on his first day in office, and use the full force of the law to go after major drug dealers and cop killers. The Trump campaign sees crime, in general, and Kamala Harris's record as a prosecutor in California, in particular, as areas where they can inflict damage on her presidential bid. And in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Trump laid out more details of his crime-fighting agenda starting with whether he would reverse the Biden-Harris administration's freeze on federal executions.

The Harris-Walz campaign has continuously denied reporters and photographers from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette access to the campaign events, reportedly due to labor action within the company, according to an op-ed from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editor Brandon McGinley.

McGinley called out the Democratic campaign Saturday, claiming it has barred “Post-Gazette reporters from the veep announcement, from parts of the Democratic National Convention and (as of this writing) from all future events where they have the ability to control access.”

The essential idea of an objective news media is that journalists (aside from clearly-identified opinion commentators) present a factual rundown of the news, and it’s up to the public to sort through that information and forms their own judgements. An objective news media is vital if citizens are to make the decisions for society based on their own values, rather than being steered by powerful news organizations with their own agendas. Eight years ago, however, many in the media admitted they weren’t committed to objectivity, as a number of journalists announced that, with Donald Trump on the ballot, the election was too important for news organizations to play it straight.

JERUSALEM - The Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, is facing a barrage of criticism for failing to explicitly condemn the Hamas terrorist movement for its murders of one American and five Israeli citizens on Saturday. Israel Defense Forces were looking to rescue the six hostages held by Hamas, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, in the tunnel system below Gaza's Rafah city, but instead found all six murdered at the hands of the terror group. The Times of Israel, quoting Israel's ministry of health, reported that the hostages had been murdered between Thursday and Friday morning.

As Breitbart News reported, the Israeli military identified the hostages Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Master Sergeant Ori Danino.
