there is a way to fix this. have the 'supremes' rule on federal elections. vote in person on election day with proof of citizenship (ss# ?) and ink each voters thumb so that they cant vote twice.

The assertion that illegals are highly law abiding beggars belief. Every one that is arrested for a felony seems to have been caught and released multiple times.

[AmericanActionNews] Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit Friday to stop a county from using taxpayer dollars to pay a voter registration firm aligned with progressives to identify unregistered voters.
Travis County is allegedly illegally paying taxpayer dollars to Civic Government Solutions (CGS), a voter registration firm, to create a list of unregistered voters for the county, according to the lawsuit. Travis County, home of Austin, Texas, is solidly blue, and CGS CEO Jeremy Smith has made statements in the past that encourage people to vote for progressive candidates.
''Travis County has blatantly violated Texas law by paying partisan actors to conduct unlawful identification efforts to track down people who are not registered to vote,'' Paxton said in a blurb. ''Programs like this invite fraud and reduce public trust in our elections. We will stop them and any other county considering such programs.''
The Travis County Commissioners Court approved the use of the firm on Aug. 27, with the contract extending to 2025, according to county documents. CGS has sent over 10 million mailers since 2018 and has registered 2 million voters, according to the lawsuit.
Smith is also the CEO of Civitech, which describes itself as a ''progressive data startup,'' according to Axios. Civitech is listed as a registered contractor of CGS, with their goal being to ''drive support for progressive causes and candidates'' and to register ''likely Democratic voters across the nation could be the key to securing Democratic victory in 2024,'' according to the lawsuit.
''Not investing now means not only will we lose some 2022 elections, but we will lose some 2024 elections and some 2026 elections because we haven't converted people now to become habitual voters. It has downstream impacts,'' Smith said on The Great Battlefield Podcast in 2022. ''It's pernicious in multiple ways, because the system we rely on does not show unregistered people, so the majority of our political efforts are accidentally leaving them out.''
Paxton filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against Bexar County for allegedly sending out massive amounts of registration applications regardless of whether they were requested via a third-party vendor. Paxton warned that the program would potentially allow illegal immigrants colonists to vote and ''invites election fraud.''

This is voter fraud and should be a state felony with penalties of at least 10 years and 100k fines. For each person signed up illegally. MAKE IT HURT.

This is a good case for prosecution. The Republicans in Travis County ought to also be looking at how long this has been going on and whether the GOP members of their County Board of Elections were aware of this. Were they complicit?
Voter registration drives can be a good thing, but they ought not to be government funded. In the worst case scenario, folks are registered that are precluded from voting by law. Almost as bad is registering people that don’t vote creating an opportunity for fraud.

[HollywoodReporter] ‘The Apprentice’ Producers Explain Why They Need a Kickstarter Campaign.
Daniel Bekerman and Amy Baer talk about the legal threats from Trump that spooked distributors and why crowdfunding was right for their film: "We wanted to do whatever we could to make sure that the movie was seen."
Yesterday, the filmmakers behind Donald Trump movie The Apprentice launched a Kickstarter campaign to assist with the October theatrical release of the film with a goal of raising $100,000. A day later, it has already topped that goal, raising more than $139,000 for the campaign, dubbed “Release The Apprentice.”
A Kickstarter campaign is not the go-to move for a splashy, albeit independently financed, feature with award-winning stars like Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong, and a debut at the Cannes Film Festival. But The Apprentice has had a long and embattled journey to get to theaters.
Since the film’s festival debut, its potential release has been mired in uncertainty. Dan Snyder, the pro-Trump billionaire, is involved with Kinematics, the company that put up equity for the film against domestic rights. Snyder was reportedly was displeased with the film’s depiction of Trump and sought to block its release. After the film’s Cannes debut, Trump’s lawyers sent a cease and desist letter also in an attempt to block the film’s release.
The Apprentice, from director Ali Abbasi, explores Donald Trump’s (Stan) rise to power in 1980s America under the influence of the firebrand right-wing attorney Roy Cohn (Strong). Among the scenes that reportedly earned the ire of the former president and his backers are a sequence where he rapes his first wife Ivana and also scenes that show Trump getting liposuction.
o You've got to bet that Marla Maples is going to show up, and incidentally, photo's of Marla should be shown at least quarterly in the 'Good Morning' post.
o The film makers readily state that the story is "a work of art and a work of fiction."

Among the scenes …a sequence where he rapes his first wife Ivana
Based on something she said once, according to Slate, which was puzzled that once the divorce was done she seemed to adore her husband: In a divorce deposition, Ivana accused Trump of raping her, though later she said that she had not meant that in a literal sense. This specific detail, much discussed in the 2016 campaign, helped explain why so many people projected their feelings onto Ivana, and why they were so often disappointed: Plenty of Americans wanted to feel for her because she was abused (allegedly physically, but also mentally and emotionally)—and some certainly held out hope she would become a resistance figure, ascending to the person she appeared to be in a cameo in The First Wives Club in 1996. But she never fully landed that role. Instead, she defended Trump, remained his friend, and didn’t seem at all disturbed by the politician he became.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] MSNBC has called for a boycott against the social media platform X, claiming that its owner, Elon Musk, has pushed misinformation relating to the upcoming election.
An opinion piece published by MSNBC calling for the boycott cited a recent report by the nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate which claimed to have identified 50 instances where Musk posted false claims about the election. The MSNBC piece also accused Musk of amplifying conspiracy theories and anti-Semitism.
"If every moderate-to-liberal human and organization stopped using the site, that might pressure Musk or his board of directors to stop weaponizing it," the opinion, written by journalist Jay Michaelson, argued.
"It isn’t even a boycott. Leaving X isn’t like boycotting Coors because it’s too right-wing or Bud Light because it’s too left-wing. Those boycotts are fine — that’s part of capitalism too — but X is different in kind. Because unlike beer, the X product itself is the problem," Michaelson added.
A recent guest on MSNBC also commented on claims that Musk has pushed misinformation on the platform, suggesting that he should be prosecuted over his exercise of free speech rights on X. Businessman and investor Roger McNamee, appearing on MSNBC’s "The Last Word," argued that there could be a legal case against Musk due to his statements on social media.

The paragraph,

I hope Musk suspends every MSNBC account along with all their 'personalities'.

Having all the liberals boycott X would make the platform more enjoyable to use, but it is not going to happen. The Hollywood folks aren’t leaving the country either. They feel that we all need to hear their annoying and infantile opinions. We are stuck with the lot of them.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
