In Virginia during Obama's first election, a woman I knew had a sister stuck at a childhood age mentally so she is in a 'home'. The attendants there registered her to vote and, of course, voted for her. Guess who they voted for.

The problem isn't the parliamentarian. It's not the filibuster, either.

The problems starts with the Senate's 2.5 day work week and it's all downhill from there. IYKYK.

I think @Elex_Michaelson is a first-rate journalist who does ask tough questions of both the right or the left - and is trying to be responsible and responsive. He's fair and thoughtful.

BUT - talking to some people on the ground isn't the same as being in the mix.

I have walked 1000's of precincts and talked to 100's of thousands of voters of all political parties, ages, races, and geographies in CA - and other states. I have been an election observer in dozens of ROVs. I have challenged signature verifications (both improper validation and opposing unfair invalidation). I have watched ballot curing (where election workers "redo" damaged, unreadable, or improperly completed ballots) and run curing operations for unsigned/unmatched ballots.

I can say without hysteria that there are irregularities and vulnerabilities in CA's voting system. I can say unequivocally there are bad actors who are willing & motivated to cheat (and yes, because they think they are on the side of righteousness.) And, I have witnessed actual cheating.

I have been involved in elections where the outcome was determined by 3, 5, 7, 14, 29, and 41 votes. I have been in elections where the outcome was determined by less than 0.01% of the vote. I have been involved in recounts where the "final" vote totals changed by 100's of votes after the recount.

I canNOT say that any of those outcomes were determined as a result of fraud or irregularities. But we cannot be sure they did not - in part because CA lacks proper controls, allows questionable practices (anonymous ballot harvesting), has inadequate safeguards & auditing processes - BUT MOSTLY because too many people are eager to say "it can't happen" or blythly condemn those who see something that doesn't ring true and are willing to speak out.

The "experts" and "election officials" ignored the red flags in the Shakir Khan case - until a tip from a citizen (and the connection to other crimes) led police to raid his home where they found 40 ballots and discovered that he had registered 70 people to his home address (the statewide voter roll should have flagged this already.). Does it happen often? Maybe, maybe not - but the potential and the vulnerabilities exist. The motivation exists (especially today when rhetoric like "he's an existential threat," "our lives are on the line," and "existence of democracy is at stake" are tossed around with reckless abandon.)

Fixing the problems won't deny access for any eager voter... it won't silence one vote. But it will reduce doubt and mistrust.

Senator Murkowski says Alaska needs H-1B visas to fill teacher roles. But the real question is: why can't Alaska keep the teachers it already has?

Answer: Alaska holds the national record for teacher turnover — roughly triple the national average. Teacher salaries grew just 9% from 1994–2004 while the national average rose 31%. This isn't a pipeline problem. It's a pay and retention problem.

Here’s a very basic breakdown of Korean politics.

In Korea, the left is pro-China, pro-North Korea, more multicultural, feminist, and anti-America. The right is pro-America, anti-China, anti-North Korea, more skeptical of immigration, and anti-feminist.

Korean politics is still stuck in Cold War dynamics because of the legacy of the Korean War. The left wants to be nice to North Korea and pretend there’s no threat. The right knows we’re still technically at war.

But social issues like immigration and feminism are starting to matter more, and the divide is slowly starting to look more like the West.

Even doing what I do… I support this

I know many women over 35 who don’t have kids and would be A+ moms and I hope they become one sooner than later

It’s wild as the rest of the country is watching this just shaking our heads.

Voter ID must happen or this could be the rest of the country.

You know things are bad for leftists in California when only 1 out of 5 Los Angeles voters are Republicans and Democrats STILL have to cheat.

🗣️ “I can’t afford kids now cos in your generation it was cheaper..”

🗣️ “the younger generation wants to explore life more than your generation, we’re different”

Sometimes this pissed me off totally, sometimes it only pisses me off a little. Sometimes I take time to discuss it with the young people I encounter. They have such a distorted view of then vs now.

Young people gifted with love for others have to bring it home with a kid

As someone who covered the region for a dozen years for the WSJ, and reported in astonishment how even under conservative Pres Ronald Reagan USAID was funding socialist projects in Latin America, I can assure you that this is 💯 accurate.

[Free Speech America @FreeSpeechAmer]

Apple News, Google News and Yahoo News all blocked right-leaning media outlets in their top morning stories today.

This is no accident!

MRC data has consistently shown these Silicon Valley digital news gatekeepers suppressing the right and promoting stories from the left.
