USPS\u2019 warped idea of election security<\/h4>\n

Fixing fraud in mail-in voting is another phony solution to a nonexistent problem.<\/p>\n

Case in point: the U.S. Postal Service\u2019s proposed rules forcing state election officials to \u201cenroll\u201d voters and attach unique tracking barcodes to every ballot envelope. This heavy-handed, big-government tracking system invents a massive administrative hurdle under the guise of voting security.<\/p>\n

So why the sudden crackdown? Follow the numbers. Before 2020, mail-in voting was split evenly between parties. But during the pandemic, Democrats utilized mail ballots by a 60% to 32% margin over Republicans. Even as voters returned to polling places in 2024, Democrats maintained a double-digit lead in mail-in turnout (37% to 24%).<\/p>\n

The political motive here is obvious. For a president terrified that a \u201cBlue Wave\u201d could cost him the Senate and trigger a third impeachment, suppressing that momentum is survival. This USPS proposed rule change isn\u2019t about election integrity; it\u2019s a calculated roadblock designed to diminish Democratic voting power by making mail-in voting as difficult and burdensome as possible.<\/p>\n

The proposed rule is posted on the Federal Register (federalregister.gov, search for \u201cballot mail\u201d) and the public has until July 2 to comment. Let them know how unnecessary this kind of federal intrusion is in the constitutionally mandated state election process. This is a voter suppression plan, plain and simple.<\/p>\n

They are changing the rules because they are losing the game. Protect democracy, vote them out.<\/p>\n

A ruinous Trojan horse<\/h4>\n

We are Americans. We are not Israelis. We may wish to support Israel, but we need to maintain our complete independence and sovereignty.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Few issues are as threatening to American sovereignty as what is proposed in Section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act, a congressional defense policy bill, for fiscal 2027.<\/p>\n

It would intrinsically integrate Israel\u00a0into our military complex. Every area of defense technology including artificial intelligence, quantum technology, autonomous systems, directed energy, network integration, cyber- and biotechnology and data fusion would be integrated.<\/p>\n

Israel and America would be as one. Section 224 is vast, sweeping, and totally un-American.<\/p>\n

All Americans should oppose this traitorous, seditious act. The congressmen and senators who support this provision should be voted out of office because Section 224 is so vile. Notify your congressmen and senators and demand that it not be enacted before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n

Trump: To sue and collect<\/h4>\n

It seems that Donald Trump loves to line his pockets with OPM (Other People\u2019s Money).<\/p>\n

In 2024, he filed a $10 billion lawsuit against Paramount Global, owner of CBS News, while they were in talks over the merger with Skydance Media \u2014 a merger that would require approval of Trump\u2019s FCC.<\/p>\n

Paramount buckled under what I saw as obvious blackmail, forking over $16 million to Trump to settle a lawsuit involving editing of a \u201c60 Minutes\u201d segment, rather than jeopardize its merger.<\/p>\n

Then came a $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service for allowing a leak of his tax returns. The case was thrown out as having no legal bearing because the plaintiff, Trump, was essentially suing himself. The distinction is important. It wasn\u2019t \u201csettled\u201d\u2014 it never legally existed so there could be no legal settlement.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s response was the $1.8 billion \u201cslush fund\u201d to pay his cronies, and permanent immunity from IRS audits of previous tax returns of Trump, his family and businesses.<\/p>\n

Al Capone was brought down by tax evasion, but Trump seems to be immune. What a great business model. File spurious lawsuits, then get rich.<\/p>\n
