MLK had a dream...


  • That billions in rioting damages would be done in the name of Black lives
  • That segregation would become all the rage again
  • That politicians would continue to use race to divide us.
  • That a small portion of Americans would believe that Blacks are not capable enough to secure an ID to vote

    9:34 A.M. EDT

    THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Good morning. Welcome. Thanks for being here on this special day. Please be seated. America began with a Declaration that all men are created equal. This Declaration marked a tremendous advance in the story of freedom, yet it also contained a contradiction: Some of the same men who signed their names to this self-evident truth owned other men as property. By reauthorizing this act, Congress has reaffirmed its belief that all men are created equal; its belief that the new founding started by the signing of the bill by President Johnson is worthy of our great nation to continue. (Applause.)

    President George W. Bush signs H.R. 9, the Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 2006, on the South Lawn Thursday, July 27, 2006. White House photo by Paul MorseI'm proud to be here with our Attorney General and members of my Cabinet, the leaders of the United States Senate and House of Representatives. I thank the bill sponsors, I thank the members of the Judiciary Committee. I appreciate so very much representatives of the Hamer family who have joined us -- (applause) -- representatives of the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute who have joined us -- (applause) -- and members of the King family, in particular Reverend Bernice King and Martin Luther King, thank you all for coming. (Applause.)

    I'm honored to be here with civil rights leaders like Dr. Dorothy Height -- (applause) -- Julian Bond, the Chairman of the NAACP -- (applause) -- Bruce Gordon, thank you Bruce -- (applause) -- Reverend Lowery, it's good to see you again, sir -- (applause) -- fortunately I got the mic this time. (Laughter.) I'm proud to be here with Marc Morial. Thanks for coming Marc. (Applause.) Juanita Abernathy is with us today. Jesse Jackson, good to see you, Jesse. (Applause.) Al Sharpton -- (applause) -- Dr. Benjamin Hooks and Frances are with us. (Applause.)

    A lot of other folks who care deeply about this issue. We welcome you here. It's good to welcome the mayor. Mr. Mayor, good to see you. Thanks for coming. Tony Williams. (Applause.) Everything is fine in the neighborhood, I appreciate it. (Laughter.) And the Mayor of Selma, Alabama, James Perkins, is with us. Mr. Mayor, proud you're here. (Applause.) Welcome, sir.

    The right of ordinary men and women to determine their own political future lies at the heart of the American experiment, and it is a right that has been won by the sacrifice of patriots. The Declaration of Independence was born on the stand for liberty taken at Lexington and Concord. The amendments to our Constitution that outlawed slavery and guaranteed the right to vote came at the price of a terrible civil war.

    The Voting Rights Act that broke the segregationist lock on the ballot box rose from the courage shown on a Selma bridge one Sunday afternoon in March of 1965. On that day, African Americans, including a member of the United States Congress, John Lewis -- (applause) -- marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in a protest intended to highlight the unfair practices that kept them off the voter rolls.

    You support unfair practices that will keep the voters off the voter rolls.

    Australia ties Southern Hemisphere’s all-time heat record of 123°F; epic heat cooks Argentina
    The Southern Hemisphere heat record was 62 years old; the heat wave in Argentina is a threat to a key world grain-producing breadbasket.

    It’s the peak of summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and this week historic heat waves have hit both Australia and South America.

    On Thursday, January 13, one of the most iconic world weather records was tied when a ferocious heat wave in Western Australia sent the mercury soaring to 50.7 degrees Celsius (123.3°F) in the coastal city of Onslow. This tied the previous all-time heat record for hottest temperature for the entire Southern Hemisphere, set on January 2, 1960, at Oodnadatta Airport in South Australia.

    The heatwave over Western Australia built over the week, aided by sea surface temperatures approximately 2 degrees Celsius (3.6°F) above average, offshore winds, and subsiding upper-level air created by the landfall of Tropical Cyclone Tiffany over north-central Australia.

    Three stations in Western Australia exceeded the 50 degrees Celsius mark on January 13. Before this week, the entire nation of Australia had recorded only four instances of temperatures of 50 degrees Celsius (122°F) or more, in records going back to 1910.

    The heat wave continued on Friday, January 14, but with slightly less-scorching temperatures. Onslow was again the hottest major airport, topping out with a high of 48 degrees Celsius (118°F). The heat wave is expected to diminish in intensity over the weekend.

    The new record will undergo review by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) before it is certified as being official, perhaps a lengthy process. In an interview with the Washington Post, Randy Cerveny, who leads the World Meteorological Organization’s weather and climate extremes team, said, “Since the creation of the WMO World Archive of Weather and Climate Extremes in 2007, we have never had so many ongoing verification/evaluations as we currently do. We are seeing more frequent extremes in temperature. The climate that we have lived through over the past decades is changing and we must be aware of that — and realize those fundamental changes have consequences to our way of life.”

  5. Let's never forget that Republicans have supported voting rights for decades.

    Donald Trump has destroyed the Party of Lincoln and George W Bush.

    The Voting Rights Act that broke the segregationist lock on the ballot box rose from the courage shown on a Selma bridge one Sunday afternoon in March of 1965. On that day, African Americans, including a member of the United States Congress, John Lewis -- (applause) -- marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in a protest intended to highlight the unfair practices that kept them off the voter rolls.

    President George W. Bush speaks during the signing of H.R. 9, the Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 2006, on the South Lawn Thursday, July 27, 2006. "In four decades since the Voting Rights Act was first passed, we've made progress toward equality, yet the work for a more perfect union is never ending," said President Bush. "We'll continue to build on the legal equality won by the civil rights movement to help ensure that every person enjoys the opportunity that this great land of liberty offers." White House photo by Eric DraperThe brutal response showed America why a march was necessary. When the marchers reached the far side of the bridge, they were met by state troopers and civilian posse bearing billy clubs and whips -- weapons they did not hesitate to use. The images of policemen using night sticks on peaceful protestors were carried on television screens across the country, and they stung the conscience of a slumbering America.

    One week after Selma, President Lyndon Johnson took to the airwaves to announce that he planned to submit legislation that would bring African Americans into the civic life of our nation. Five months after Selma, he signed the Voting Rights Act into law in the Rotunda of our nation's capitol. (Applause.) In a little more than a year after Selma, a newly enfranchised black community used their power at the ballot box to help defeat the sheriff who had sent men with whips and clubs to the Edmund Pettus Bridge on that bloody Sunday.

  6. For some parts of our country, the Voting Rights Act marked the first appearance of African Americans on the voting rolls since Reconstruction. And in the primaries and elections that followed the signing of this act, many African Americans pulled the voting lever for the first time in their lives.

    Eighty-one year old Willie Bolden was the grandson of slaves, and in the spring of 1966, he cast his first ballot in Alabama's Democratic primary. He told a reporter, "It felt good to me. It made me think I was sort of somebody." In the America promised by our founders, every citizen is a somebody, and every generation has a responsibility to add its own chapter to the unfolding story of freedom. (Applause.)

    In four decades since the Voting Rights Act was first passed, we've made progress toward equality, yet the work for a more perfect union is never ending. We'll continue to build on the legal equality won by the civil rights movement to help ensure that every person enjoys the opportunity that this great land of liberty offers. And that means a decent education and a good school for every child, a chance to own their own home or business, and the hope that comes from knowing that you can rise in our society by hard work and God-given talents. (Applause.)

White House photo by Paul MorseToday, we renew a bill that helped bring a community on the margins into the life of American democracy. My administration will vigorously enforce the provisions of this law, and we will defend it in court. (Applause.) This legislation is named in honor of three heroes of American history who devoted their lives to the struggle of civil rights: Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King. (Applause.) And in honor of their memory and their contributions to the cause of freedom, I am proud to sign the Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 2006. (Applause.)

    Out this week:
    Fight:
    How Gen Z Is Channeling Their Fear and Passion to Save America

    by John Della Volpe.

    “Since they were born, Generation Z — those born from the late 1990s to early 2000s — have been faced with an onslaught of turmoil, destruction and instability unprecedented in modern history.


    "And it shows: they are more stressed, anxious, and depressed than previous generations, a phenomenon John Della Volpe has documented heavily through decades of meeting with groups of young Americans across the country.

    “But Gen Z has not buckled under this tremendous weight.
    On the contrary, they have organized around issues
    from gun control
    to racial and environmental justice
    to economic equity,
    becoming more politically engaged than their elders,
    and showing a unique willingness to disrupt the status quo.”

    Swing District Democrats Push for New Midterm Strategy

    January 17, 2022 at 8:42 am EST By Taegan Goddard 36 Comments

    “House Democrats running for reelection in competitive districts, facing increasingly long odds of surviving a potential Republican wave, have confronted party leaders in recent days with demands for a new midterm strategy,”
    the Washington Post reports.

    “Among the requests of these so-called ‘front-liner’ Democrats is
    to break up President Biden’s sprawling Build Back Better spending bill that has stalled in the Senate amid opposition from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV)
    and hold votes on a series of politically popular provisions that would appeal to centrist voters and core Democrats alike.

    “These members have argued to top House leaders in recent days — so far, to no avail — that holding votes on narrow measures such as
    curbing prescription drug costs
    and extending the child tax credit
    would help Democrats
    make a case that they can improve voters’ lives economically despite soaring inflation and other issues that have dragged down Biden’s approval ratings.”

    Donald Trump is not responsible for racial division. In fact, more hispanics and blacks voted for Trump than any modern day Republican Presidential candidate. Since 2016, Hispanics went from a Democratic stronghold to being swing voters upcoming for 2022. Blacks (especially black men) are moving right. Much of that had to do with Trump.

    The only people Donald Trump pissed off "racially" were lilly white liberals like yourself. You, Reverend, and Roger are just arrogant white people who believe they know what is good for minority voters.

  22. Throughout 2021, the country moved away from the Democrat party and towards the GOP by 14 points.

    At the beginning of 2021, 49 percent of the country identified as Democrats, while 40 percent said they were Republicans. At the end of 2021, 47 percent said they were Republicans, and only 42 percent said Democrat. That’s a 14 point shift towards the GOP.

    It’s been 25 years since the GOP held a five-point lead over Democrats.

  23. An ex-education adviser to former President Barack Obama has plead guilty to wire fraud, the New York Post reported Saturday.

    The guilty plea was in regard to an alleged scheme to take $218,000 from a group of charter schools the man founded in New York City.

    “Seth Andrew, 43, a former White House advisor, admitted today to devising a scheme to steal from the very same schools he helped create. Andrew now faces time in federal prison for abusing his position and robbing those he promised to help,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams explained in a statement Friday.


    The United States Attorney’s Office Southern District of New York press release said Andrew pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years behind bars.

    “ANDREW has agreed to pay restitution to the Charter School Network from which he stole. ANDREW is scheduled to be sentenced before Judge Cronan on April 14, 2022,” the release stated.

  28. ALBANY — A Cornell Law School professor has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the state health department's recent directive requiring medical providers to prioritize "non-whites" and Hispanic individuals in the distribution of potentially life-saving COVID-19 treatments.

    Gov. Kathy Hochul's administration announced the directive in late December, in a memorandum that stated: "Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor, as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19."

    The treatments previously had to be administered in hospitals intravenously or through injections. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December gave emergency approval for the drugs to be taken orally. Still, health officials have said supply-chain issues have inhibited the wide use of the drugs, including monoclonal antibody treatments, that are dispensed by the federal government.

    The federal lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Albany by William A. Jacobson, a clinical professor of law and director of the Securities Law Clinic at Cornell. His federal complaint argues the policy directive for the antiviral and monoclonal antibody treatments, which have been in short supply but can be used to lessen the risk of severe health complications from COVID-19, is "patently unconstitutional" because it uses racial preferences in determining whether someone qualifies to receive them.

    "Using a patient’s skin color or ethnicity as a basis for deciding who should receive lifesaving medical treatment is appalling," states the lawsuit, which was filed against acting state Health Commissioner Mary T. Bassett. "And directing medical professionals to award or deny medical care based on immutable characteristics such as skin color, without regard to the actual health condition of the individual who is seeking these antiviral treatments, is nothing more than an attempt to establish a racial hierarchy in the provision of life-saving medicine."

    Words my uncle, Martin Luther King Jr., would share in our troubled times
    If MLK were here today, he would encourage us to hold onto hope, fear not, have faith in God


    When I was a little girl raised in a family of Baptist preachers, my father Rev. A.D. Williams King, my grandfather Daddy King, and my uncle would read the Bible and preach and teach the lessons that MLK would one day grow famous for delivering. His sermons on unity, faith, hope and live still resonate today.

    If he were here today, MLK would likely encourage us to answer the threat of racism with the truth that there are no separate human races; there is only one critical human race, regardless of skin color or social conditions.

    "He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.'" (Acts 17: 26-28)

    Also, MLK embraced the American Dream – for everyone:
    "I still have a dream, a dream deeply rooted in the American dream – one day this nation will rise up and live up to its creed, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men [human beings] are created equal.'"

    Moving ahead, perhaps a good way to remember Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is to agree to regard and protect human life from the womb to the tomb; and to love, forgive and live with each other together as brothers and sisters, and not perish together as fools.

    He added:
    “You get it based on race. In fact, in New York state, if you’re white, you have to go to the back of the line to get medical help. If you’re white, you go right to the back of the line.”

  45. Ron DeSantis Is No Match for Trump
    January 17, 2022 at 2:00 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 6 Comments

    Jonathan Last: “You’re not supposed to remember this, but DeSantis is a smarty-pants, Ivy League elite lawyer who is playacting as a populist crusader. Trump is the real thing.

    “Just look at the booster stuff: DeSantis almost certainly got the booster. But he’s now caught in No Man’s Land where he has positioned himself as quasi anti-vax, even though he’s received the vaccines.

    “Or look at the anti-lockdown rhetoric: DeSantis is pushing revisionist history about how he refused to impose any sort of precautions in Florida.

    “If this turns into a hot war, Trump is going to crush him. Maybe it’s possible to outflank Trump on vaccines, but not if you’re a phony who took the vaccines. Republican primary voters will smell that a mile away.”

    https://www.cnsnews.com/article/national/michael-w-chapman/poll-81-all-voters-support-voter-id-including-77-black-voters

    A new poll shows that 81% of voters in the United States support laws that require "every voter to show a photo ID when they vote," according to Honest Elections Project Action (HEPA), which conducted the survey of 1,200 registered voters in mid-July.

    Among those surveyed, 77% of black voters support requiring a photo ID to vote, as do 78% of Hispanic voters, 67% of Democratic voters, 97% of Republican voters, and 82% of independent voters.


    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/poll-75-percent-americans-support-voter-id

    New polling shows that a large majority supports voter ID laws that require individuals to show a photo identification before voting, including almost 70% of black voters.

    The poll, released on Wednesday by Rasmussen Reports, found that 75% believe photo identification should be presented before voting and that 69% of black voters support voter ID laws.



    Here is one specific to Georgia (one of the laws you are lying about)

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/why-we-black-leaders-support-voter-id-laws/ar-BB1fJdQo


    Another poll taken even more recently by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution found that a full two-thirds of Blacks in Georgia support voter ID. The data seems clear: A majority of Black Americans support voter ID laws.

    This shouldn't be surprising. Blacks know the value of the right to vote. We struggled to win that right in a country that for too long treated us as second-class citizens. We shed our blood so we could partake in American elections just like every other American citizen. We want to make sure that sacred right to vote, and the integrity of those elections, are protected.





    So are black people not smart enough to have an opinion? Do they need your lilly white liberal protection from their own stupidity?


    Personally, as someone who spends most of my time around minorities, non-citizens, alternate lifestyles, and liberals... I see no indication that my minority friends are any less capable than I am to garner an ID and figure out how to vote with it.

According to the New York Post, “one Staten Island doctor said he filled two prescriptions for Paxlovid this week and was asked by the pharmacist to disclose the race of his patients before the treatment was authorized.”

  62. In a backlash to 2020’s historic voter turnout and unprecedented vote-by-mail usage, state lawmakers have imposed a variety of significant restrictions on both mail voting and in-person voting. Florida, Georgia, and Iowa have each used single omnibus bills, which incorporate many restrictions, to undertake a full-fledged assault on voting. By contrast, Arkansas and Montana lead the country in the number of restrictive bills enacted (four each), each of which addresses a narrower range of issues. Laws enacted in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, and Montana are already being challenged in court.

    At least 16 mail voting restrictions in 12 states will make it more difficult for voters to cast mail ballots that count. footnote3_jy7jkrm4  Six laws shorten the timeframe for voters to request a mail ballot, including a Georgia law that will reduce that window by more than one-half. footnote4_k8rx73a5  Five laws make it more difficult for voters to automatically receive their ballot or ballot application — either by making it harder to stay on absentee voting lists or by prohibiting officials from sending applications or ballots without the voter’s affirmative request. footnote5_uhrhxzb6  Nine laws in eight states make it more difficult for voters to deliver their mail ballots, including a law in Arkansas that makes the in-person ballot delivery deadline earlier, six laws that restrict assistance to voters in returning their mail ballots, and four laws that limit the availability of mail ballot drop boxes. footnote6_odyudx27  Three laws impose stricter signature requirements for mail voting, footnote7_1reqa0p8  while three others impose stricter or new voter ID laws for mail voting. footnote8_ytnpsjr9

    At least 8 states have enacted 11 laws that make in-person voting more difficult. Three states have enacted four laws that impose new or harsher voter ID requirements for in-person voting. footnote9_c5iodti10  Four laws make faulty voter roll purges more likely, risking confusion and disenfranchisement when voters show up at the polls. footnote10_ln3hgyp11  Montana eliminated Election Day registration and moved up its registration deadline to the day before Election Day. footnote11_0olm6qy12  Three states have limited the availability of polling places: Montana permitted more locations to qualify for reduced polling place hours; Iowa reduced its Election Day hours, shortened the early voting period, and limited election officials’ discretion to offer additional early voting locations; and Georgia reduced early voting in many counties by standardizing early voting days and hours. footnote12_l5klw9013

    This liberal financing has turned the Center into a cog in the liberal legal movement. The Center pursues a left-wing issue agenda, supporting liberal activist policies on ethnic preferences, restrictions on political campaign speech, and protections for foreign terrorism suspects.”

    If They Can’t Cheat- They Can’t Win! Brennan Center Horrified When 19 States Pass 34 Election Laws In 2021!

    If they can’t cheat, they can’t win!

    Dems are worried that Republicans will make the process of cheating more difficult.

    Biden complained today that the Democrats must count the votes, which doesn’t make sense. The Dems countrywide blocked Republican observers from the counting rooms while they fixed the ballots for Biden. But the Dems and the M.S.M. still lie to the Americans.

    Brennan Center shared a report one week ago on the current integrity bills that were passed by Republican legislatures in 2021.

    Between January 1 and December 7, at least 19* states passed 34 laws to improve election integrity. More than 440 bills with provisions that fortify voting access were introduced in 49 states in the 2021 legislative sessions. These numbers are extraordinary: state legislatures enacted far more voting security laws in 2021 than in any year since the Brennan Center began tracking voting legislation in 2011 (https://www.brennancenter.org/issues/ensure-every-american-can-vote/voting-reform/state-voting-laws).

    Fortunately, the momentum around this legislation continues. So far, at least 13 election integrity bills have been pre-filed for the 2022 legislative session in four** states. In addition, in 18*** states, at least 152 voting security bills that did not reach resolution in 2021 will carry over into 2022. These early indicators — coupled with the ongoing mobilization around the Big Truth — suggest that efforts to secure the integrity of elections will continue to be a serious threat to Dems in 2022.

    President Biden Spreads More Lies About Georgia's Election Integrity Law

    Dating back to the Colonial era, the democratic system of government has been a fundamental part of American life. America has experienced wars, economic crises, scandals, election controversies, significant societal changes, and periods of turmoil, yet the fundamentals of our democratic system have withstood the test of time.

    According to President Biden’s recent speech in Atlanta, however, we are in a “consequential moment[] in history” because the future of democracy itself—both in the United States and worldwide—is in grave danger. The President asked his supporters, “Will we choose democracy over autocracy, light over shadows, justice over injustice? Do you want to be . . . on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?”

    What, exactly, is the serious, evil threat to American law and society that the President was talking about? A foreign superpower threatening military action? A planned cyberattack on important American institutions? A domestic hate group working to invalidate the Constitution, or to reinstate slavery or segregation?

    The answer is none of the above. According to the President, the election reforms enacted by Georgia’s legislature last year impose “Jim Crow 2.0” through voter suppression and election subversion, and threaten “democracy’s threshold liberty.” This is an outrageous lie.

    A recent Wall Street Journal editorial noted that “[t]he President’s speech on voting rights is divorced from reality,” and called his comparison between support for Georgia’s election integrity measures and support for segregation, slavery, and the Confederacy complete “nonsense.” That is putting it mildly. As the article explained, it is easier to vote in Georgia than in many Left-run states: Georgia residents “can request a mail ballot without giving an excuse, unlike in New York or Delaware. . . . [B]lack voter turnout in Georgia [in 2020] was 64%, compared with Massachusetts’s 36%.”

    The President making inflammatory, false claims about Georgia’s law is not a recent development. Last year, the Washington Post gave President Biden a “Four Pinocchios” rating for his false statement that the Georgia statute “ends voting hours early” and cuts off voting at 5 p.m. Contrary to this claim, “experts say the net effect of the new early-voting rules was to expand the opportunities to vote for most Georgians, not limit them.”

  73. James's Fucking DaddyJanuary 17, 2022 at 2:19 PM


    Last summer, the Biden Administration sued Georgia to challenge certain provisions of the law, such as a ban on government entities mailing unsolicited absentee ballot applications, modifications of the identification requirements, timeframes for applying for absentee ballots, and regulations of the use of absentee ballot drop boxes. The ACLJ, on behalf of our supporters and 57 Members of Congress, filed an amicus brief that emphasized the substantial constitutional authority of the states to protect the integrity of their elections. The brief highlighted many court decisions that have recognized that “there must be a substantial regulation of elections if they are to be fair and honest and if some sort of order, rather than chaos, is to accompany the democratic processes.”

    Our brief also cataloged numerous examples of proven voter fraud over the past several years, which was often connected to the misuse of absentee ballots. Objective data confirms a correlation between the liberal myth that voter fraud is rare or non-existent and higher rates of election fraud actually occurring. For instance, The Heritage Foundation has documented over 1,300 proven instances of voter fraud from across the country, many of which resulted in criminal convictions. Among the instances of voter fraud that were proven in 2020 and 2021, 76% occurred in states that voted for President Biden, while 24% occurred in states that voted for former President Trump.

    Additionally, 38% of these instances occurred in states that were ranked by Heritage in the bottom 10 of election security (typically left-leaning states like California and Hawaii), while only 14% of these instances occurred in states ranked in the top 10 in election security (most of which are more conservative such as Tennessee and Texas). Notably, Georgia was rated #1 for election security, which helps explain why Georgia has become the focal point of a campaign of lies and distortion about its election laws.

    Contrary to the President’s false claims, election integrity laws like Georgia’s do not discriminate against anyone, exclude lawfully registered voters, or suppress lawfully cast votes. Rather, as we noted in our brief, the Supreme Court recently reiterated that states have a “strong and entirely legitimate state interest” in preventing voter fraud, which can “undermine public confidence in the fairness of elections and the perceived legitimacy of the announced outcome.” Election integrity laws serve this important interest, and protect, rather than threaten, the fundamentals of a democratic system of government.

  75. Thanks for pointing that out, Rat, so I will now quote from a wiki article to demonstrate objectivity:

    Polls
    A YouGov/Economist poll from March 20–22 found that 44% of Americans oppose more restrictive voting laws compared to 39% who support them.[326]

    A Hill/HarrisX poll of 2,827 registered voters conducted in April 2021 found that 43% (including 70% of Republicans and 41% of Independents) supported stricter voting laws, while 31% (including 50% of Democrats) stated that new laws should be passed to make voting more accessible. Another 27% expressed opposition to changing existing voting laws.[327]

    Effects
    There is debate over the effects Republican proposals would have. Available evidence on the effects of forms of voting being targeted by Republicans are as summarized below:

    Mail-in voting: Studies have tended to show that offering no-excuse mail-in voting modestly increases voter turnout, particularly in midterm elections.[328]

    Universal mail-in voting, in which every voter is automatically sent a mail ballot, appears to increase turnout by slightly more—about 2%.[329] Studies of the 2020 presidential election found that mail-in voting did not produce a partisan benefit for either party.[330][331]

    Voter ID: Studies on voter ID have tended to show that voter ID laws have no detectable effect on voter fraud (which is already exceedingly rare) and little to no effect on voter turnout—though certain studies have found a depressing effect, particularly among minorities.[332][333][334]

    Estimating the effects of voter ID laws, however, is complicated, and strict voter ID laws are only a recent phenomenon, leading some researchers to conclude that further election data is needed to conclusively pin down the effects of voter ID.[335]

    What is certain, however, is that among people in the United States without photo ID (in Michigan, for example, there are roughly 28,000 registered voters without photo ID, or 0.6% of registered voters), racial minorities make up a disproportionately large number of them—with one study estimating that nonwhite voters were between 2.5 and 6 times as likely as white voters to lack voter ID.[335]

    Early voting: Analysis by FiveThirtyEight has concluded that, while early voting shifts when many voters cast their ballots, it has little effect on turnout.[336] It does, however, appear to lead to shorter lines and fewer ballot errors.[337]

    Automatic voter registration: Automatic voter registration increases the number of people registered to vote[338] and appears to modestly increase turnout.[339]

    Same-day voter registration: Same-day registration appears to modestly increase voter turnout,[340][341][342][343][344] with a 2004 summary of the literature finding that the impact of same-day registration on voter turnout is "about five percentage points".[345]

    Long lines: Lines with long wait times significantly depress turnout.[329] An analysis of the 2012 United States presidential election in Florida by Ohio State University researcher Theodore Allen, for instance, estimated that more than 200,000 would-be voters did not cast a ballot in the 2012 election due to long lines.[346] Additionally, another study found that voters forced to wait in long lines are less likely to vote in future elections.[347][348] Racial minorities face longer wait-times on average than white voters.[347][349]

  83. You think that Federalist propaganda is more objective?

    It is true that FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover hated and mistrusted King and had him tape recorded having laisons with women in an attempt to silence him.

    Hoover even got Robert Kennedy to wire tap King.

    But the Kennedys sided with King in his emphasis on civil rights as "an idea whose time had come."

    That was the beginning of the black abandonment of the Republican party.

  87. Voter suppression in the United States is various legal and illegal efforts to prevent eligible voters from exercising their right to vote. Where found, such voter suppression efforts vary by state, local government, precinct, and election. Separately, there have also been various efforts to enfranchise and disenfranchise various voters in the country, which concern whether or not people are eligible to vote in the first place.

    Voter suppression has historically been used for racial discrimination. Before and during the American Civil War, African-Americans had not been able to vote. After the Civil War, all African-Americans were granted voting rights, forcing Southern Democrats and former Confederate states to institute actions such as poll taxes or language tests that were ostensibly non-racist as not to directly contradict the Constitution.[1] Democrats used fraud and intimidation via militias like the Ku Klux Klan to limit Black voting in the 20th century, and achieved single-party rule for decades after using voter registration laws to disenfranchise many African-Americans and poor whites.[2] Following the loss of Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential elections, Republicans have passed or attempted to pass many laws restricting voter access, and have received condemnation and accusations of engaging in voter suppression. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, as of March 24, 2021, more than 361 bills that would restrict voting access have been introduced in 47 states.[5][6]

    In the 50s and 60s Scott would have been a Democrat.

    Then along came the civil war era began he would have become a Republican, just like he did after Bill Clinton era ended.

    I grew up in a middle western area like he did.

    But unlike most older people, I remained a Democrat because they support middle class jobs and people like me.


    Scott you are dishonoring the most American important man in the 20th century.

    People like you used the same rhetoric that got Nixon elected, and until Trump emerged by claiming Obama was born in Kenya Africa, the Republican party was a great institution, I didn't agree with them but even George W Bush was a great person who cared about others.

    You have no shame.

    I summarily reject your claim that Voter ID laws are racist. That puts me with probably 99% of the voters across the globe.


    You hold out that they are racist without offering proof of any racism. Every voter ID law that has been challenged in court has eventually prevailed and was allowed to be put into law.

    Just like you reject claims of voter fraud based on the odd concept that the courts have not "overturned" the election... shouldn't you also reject your own claims that voter ID laws are racists given they are also not being overturned in the courts?

    France
    Italy
    Germany

    Earlier, the Reverend seem to suggest that his own experience voting in Illinois was somehow the norm? Roger is from California, where they probably have a Text number you can use to vote. Text 1 for Biden, 2 for Trump.

    So neither apparently understands that these states are anomalies. Relics of the past. Hard fast in their attempts to undermine election progress.


    But the rest of the adult world has moved on and are now requiring some evidence of identification to vote. As it should be.



    It simply is not racist. Europe is not racist. Hell, countries that have majority black populations have voter ID laws. Countries with much poorer populations have voter ID laws. None of these places are racist for requiring ID.


    It's a relic of a concept. Something that has been shot down every time the radical left tries to prove it.

    A REUTERS SPECIAL REPORTTrump-inspired death threats are terrorizing election workers

    TARGETING POLL WORKERS: Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s relentless and false claims that he lost a “rigged” vote have sparked a campaign to terrorize election officials nationwide – from senior administrators to low-level volunteers - that continues months after the 2020 vote. Reuters
    Late on the night of April 24, the wife of Georgia’s top election official got a chilling text message: “You and your family will be killed very slowly.”

    A week earlier, Tricia Raffensperger, wife of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, had received another anonymous text: “We plan for the death of you and your family every day.”

    That followed an April 5 text warning. A family member, the texter told her, was “going to have a very unfortunate incident.”

    Those messages, which have not been previously reported, illustrate the continuing barrage of threats and intimidation against election officials and their families months after former U.S. President Donald Trump’s November election defeat. While reports of threats against Georgia officials emerged in the heated weeks after the voting, Reuters interviews with more than a dozen election workers and top officials – and a review of disturbing texts, voicemails and emails that they and their families received – reveal the previously hidden breadth and severity of the menacing tactics.

    DEATH THREATS: Tricia Raffensperger - wife of Georgia’s top election official - provided Reuters with screen shots of menacing text messages she received recently.

    Trump’s relentless false claims that the vote was “rigged” against him sparked a campaign to terrorize election officials nationwide – from senior officials such as Raffensperger to the lowest-level local election workers. The intimidation has been particularly severe in Georgia, where Raffensperger and other Republican election officials refuted Trump’s stolen-election claims. The ongoing harassment could have far-reaching implications for future elections by making the already difficult task of recruiting staff and poll workers much harder, election officials say.

    In an exclusive interview, Tricia Raffensperger spoke publicly for the first time about the threats of violence to her family and shared the menacing text messages with Reuters.

    The Raffenspergers – Tricia, 65, and Brad, 66 – began receiving death threats almost immediately after Trump’s surprise loss in Georgia, long a Republican bastion. Tricia Raffensperger started taking precautions. She canceled regular weekly visits in her home with two grandchildren, ages 3 and 5 – the children of her eldest son, Brenton, who died from a drug overdose in 2018.

    “I couldn’t have them come to my house anymore,” she said. “You don’t know if these people are actually going to act on this stuff.”

    In late November, the family went into hiding for nearly a week after intruders broke into the home of the Raffenspergers’ widowed daughter-in-law, an incident the family believed was intended to intimidate them. That evening, people who identified themselves to police as Oath Keepers – a far-right militia group that has supported Trump’s bid to overturn the election – were found outside the Raffenspergers’ home, according to Tricia Raffensperger and two sources with direct knowledge of the family’s ordeal. Neither incident has been previously reported.

    “Brad and I didn’t feel like we could protect ourselves,” she said, explaining the decision to flee their home.

    Brad Raffensperger told Reuters in a statement that “vitriol and threats are an unfortunate, but expected, part of public service. But my family should be left alone.”

    Trump’s baseless voter-fraud accusations have had dark consequences for U.S. election leaders and workers, especially in contested states such as Georgia, Arizona and Michigan. Some have faced protests at their homes or been followed in their cars. Many have received death threats.

  93. You are fucking terrorist!


    Some, like Raffensperger, are senior officials who publicly refused to bow to Trump’s demands to alter the election outcome. In Georgia, people went into hiding in at least three cases, including the Raffenspergers. Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, told Reuters she continues to receive death threats. Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson – a Democrat who faced armed protesters outside her home in December – is also still getting threats, her spokesperson said, declining to say

    But many others whose lives have been threatened were low- or mid-level workers, just doing their jobs. Trump’s incendiary rhetoric could reverberate into the 2022 midterm congressional elections and the 2024 presidential vote by making election workers targets of threatened or actual violence. Many election offices will lose critical employees with years or decades of experience, predicts David Becker, executive director of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research.

    “This is deeply troubling,” Becker said.

    Carlos Nelson, elections supervisor for Ware County in southeastern Georgia, shares that fear. “These are people who work for little or no money, 12 to 14 hours a day on Election Day,” Nelson said. “If we lose good poll workers, that’s when we’re going to lose democracy.”

    In Georgia, Trump faces an investigation into alleged election interference, the only known criminal inquiry into his attempts to overturn the 2020 vote.

    Trump spokesman Jason Miller did not respond to Reuters’ questions about the ongoing harassment of election workers, including why Trump has not forcefully denounced the torrent of threats being made in his name.

    ‘Disturbing and sickening’

    The intimidation in Georgia has gone well beyond Raffensperger and his family. Election workers - from local volunteers to senior administrators - continue enduring regular harassing phone calls and emails, according to interviews with election workers and the Reuters review of texts, emails and audio files provided by Georgia officials.

    One email, sent on Jan. 2 to officials in nearly a dozen counties, threatened to bomb polling sites: “No one at these places will be spared unless and until Trump is guaranteed to be POTUS again.” The specific text of the threat has not been previously reported. The email, a state election official said, was forwarded to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which declined to comment for this story.

    In Georgia, threatening violence against a poll officer is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $100,000. Making death threats is a separate crime carrying up to five years in prison and a $1,000 fine.

    Criminal law specialists say the widespread threats could increase the legal jeopardy for Trump in the Georgia investigation. That inquiry is led by the top prosecutor in Fulton County, which includes Atlanta. District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat, is probing whether Trump illegally interfered with Georgia’s 2020 election.

    FAMILY IN FEAR: Since Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger publicly refuted Trump’s voter-fraud claims, he and his family have endured months of frequent death threats and other intimidation. REUTERS/Dustin Chambers

    Among other matters, investigators are examining a Jan. 2 call in which Trump urged Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to overturn his Georgia loss to Democrat Joe Biden. Willis said in a Feb. 10 letter that her office would also investigate “any involvement in violence or threats related to the election’s administration.”

    That statement suggests Willis may be examining whether Trump, or others acting with him, solicited or encouraged death threats against election officials, said Clark Cunningham, a Georgia State University law professor. Such intimidation could fit into a possible racketeering probe into Trump if the threats were part of a coordinated effort to overturn the election, said Clint Rucker, an Atlanta criminal defense attorney and former Fulton County prosecutor.

    For much of the 1950s, King believed that white southern ministers could provide moral leadership. He thought the white racists of the South could be countered by the ministers who took a stand for equality. At the time, his concern with economic justice was a secondary theme in his addresses and political advocacy.

    Join Alternet All-Access. Go AD-Free.  

    Speaking at Vanderbilt University in 1957, he professed his belief that “there is in the white South more open-minded moderates than appears on the surface.” He urged them to lead the region through its necessary transition to equal treatment for black citizens. He reassured all that the aim of the movement was not to “defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding.”

    King had hope for this vision. He had worked with white liberals such as Myles Horton, the leader of a center in Tennessee for training labor and civil rights organizers. King had developed friendships and crucial alliances with white supporters in other parts of the country as well. His vision was for the fulfillment of basic American ideals of liberty and equality.

    The Freedom to Vote Act contains a slate of proposals to establish nationwide standards for ballot access, in an effort to counteract the wave of new restrictions in states. It would require states to allow a minimum of 15 consecutive days of early voting and that all voters are able to request to vote by mail; establish new automatic voter registration programs; and make Election Day a national holiday.

  101. Banning partisan gerrymandering

    One of the biggest provisions in the bill would be a significant overhaul of the congressional redistricting process — namely banning partisan gerrymandering. In a 2019 Supreme Court decision, Rucho v. Common Cause, the high court ruled that federal courts had no power to police congressional lines that were drawn to give a party a partisan advantage. This bill would write that power into law.

    “A State may not use a redistricting plan to conduct an election if the plan’s congressional districts, when considered cumulatively on a statewide basis, have been drawn with the intent or have the effect of materially favoring or disfavoring any political party,” the bill reads, laying out tests for how courts would ultimate decide if that has been violated or not. Mapmakers are also barred from considering the residences of members of Congress or candidates when drawing the lines.

    How each state redraws its congressional districts will change the balance of power on Capitol Hill. We break down the new maps to tell you who’s winning and who stands to lose.

    The bill would give the Department of Justice, private citizens and political parties, among others, the ability to bring lawsuits challenging congressional maps.

    Undercutting some attempts to subvert elections

    The bill also has sections that address attempts to subvert a federal election, mainly targeting attacks on elections administrators and the tallying of votes.

    I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.


    It’s no longer just about who gets to vote or making it easier for eligible voters to vote. It’s about who gets to count the vote — who gets to count whether or not your vote counted at all. It’s about moving from independent election administrators who work for the people to polarized state legislatures and partisan actors who work for political parties.

  104. Turns out the Dixiecrats were something of summer fling in 1948,
    The Dixiecrats party:The States' Rights Democratic Party (whose members are often called the Dixiecrats) was a short-lived segregationist political party in the United States, active primarily in the South. It arose due to a Southern regional split in opposition to the Democratic Party. After President Harry S. Truman, a member of the Democratic Party, ordered integration of the military in 1948 and other actions to address civil rights of African Americans, many Southern conservative white politicians who objected to this course organized themselves as a breakaway faction. The Dixiecrats wished to protect Southern states' rights to maintain racial segregation.[1]

Its members were referred to as "Dixiecrats", a portmanteau of "Dixie", referring to the Southern United States, and "Democrat

    Hard as Roger tries he can't split Dixiecrats from the Democrats. More often than not the Dixiecrats kept their membership in the Democrat Party. And, of historic significance., the Democrats never outlawed the Dixiecrats or banned them from convention. In the south at the time Republicans voters were for integration and anti-racist.
