They really hate it when someone voices views that don't fit the left's narrative

    NEW: The Kansas City Star is calling on the KC Chiefs to fire Harrison Butker and hire a female kicker after Butker advocated for traditional values during a speech.

    The opinion piece quickly notified readers that this was "not a joke" and "not unrealistic."

It seems like this year, they are being extra secure with the voter ID checks, and I had to repeat back my name and address at two separate stations. While machines were there, they seemed to be heavily promoting pen and paper ballots. I don't know how much of that is the state and how much of it is my voting jurisdiction being deep dark red. Which, kinda like with gun rights and gun violence, it's not the red areas you have to worry about so much regarding voter ID fraud, so while I like that they seemed to be very meticulous about ID checks, there's likely a very low probability anybody is trying to use a fake ID. It's the commie pinko areas you have to worry about.

I'm pretty certain I registered to vote as soon as I was old enough, and that was about 60 years ago. For most of that time, I have lived in the same town where I grew up. I am constantly perplexed by all the MSM blather objecting to showing proof of ID when voting, as if that's somehow an infringement on civil rights. As far back as I can remember (at least the day before yesterday), I have always had to show ID when voting. They have tables set up near the entrance to the old grammar school gym (which is where we vote). Usually there are four tables, and voters are directed to a table based on an alphabetical distribution by street name. At each table there's a Republican registrar and a Democrat registrar. They each have an identical list of registered voters. I hand my driver's license to the first registrar. He or she crosses my name off, then hands my driver's license to the other registrar, who then crosses my name off the other list and hands my license back to me.

No muss, no fuss, and I wouldn't want it to be any different. I would be VERY upset if I showed up to vote in the late afternoon or evening and they told me, "Sorry, you've already voted."

Would you recognize her in a grocery store? That's even if she has ever even set foot in one

Yep
But the below article is not too happy with this particular one's IDF past and even before this current mess started there were those trying to get her canceled over it. Article is from 2017

Why Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman is a slap on the faces of Palestinian girls in Gaza
https://tribune.com.pk/article/51227/why-gal-gadot-as-wonder-woman-is-a-slap-on-the-faces-of-palestinian-girls-in-gaza



I remember someone (Salon?) was roasting her a few years ago because Wonder Woman had shave armpits.  Basically, she's Israeli so they look for things to be pissed about because progressives are by-and-large anti-Semites.

And they still haven't found him.

Supposedly the helicopter he was in.
Looks a Bell 214B maybe

Edit: Maybe a 412
Edit Edit: Just found a photo of a Iranian helicopter with that exact paint scheme and it's says a 412 used by the Iranian Government

Written by a Pakistani. Pakistan is well-known as a bastion of human rights and religious freedom, so I guess we should take that article seriously.

Didn't even notice that as I was just posting that as an example of what I've seen since she got famous playing WW. Seen several articles posted trying to cancel her over her IDF past coming out of lefty media well before this current mess started.

Yes, I've calculated and posted that inflation factor a number of times to illustrate that it was an infringement, whatever "tax" bullshit you might call it.  I added that inflation number (or one like it) to the modern equivalent cost of a suppressor a couple of times for illustrative purposes.

The point was they were dishonest in attempting to circumvent what is probably the most simply and clearly stated limitation on the power of the government in the entire Constitution.

True in 1934, true today. 

You can call it "interest balancing" if you want to, but all the "interest balancing" was done by the colonies who endorsed the Bill Of Rights.  Those old boys, with their knowledge that all governments tend to limit freedom, knew what the hell they were doing.

Its time we all recognized and proclaimed that the NFA was just about the earliest "First Step" in total disarmament of the United States citizenry.

If they could pull that one off, they could piss on the Constitution any way they wanted without even closing their flies afterwards.

True in 1934, true today!
