Even with ID laws, it is not completely safe. Fake ID’s are easy to get and a lot of teens get them so they can buy beer and cigarettes. If a political party knows someone is registered but won’t vote, they can make fake ID’s using the names and addresses of registered voters for someone to pose as those people and vote in their place. By registering a lot of inner-city people who probably won’t vote, they have a goldmine of potential for fake ID’s. If you have to vote where you live, someone will recognize if you come back to the same voting place several times using different names and ID’s but if you can vote by mail, on multiple days, or wherever you want, you can go to several different polling places or go on several days, and vote under different names without anyone realizing it, making it easier for a dishonest party to “stuff the ballot box” with fraudulent ballots. Most States today issue ID’s for those that don’t drive. Poor Blacks often get welfare and have to have ID’s to get it. As a result, voter ID laws do not provide a barrier to them voting, like they used to. It does require that people prove they are eligible to vote and are not trying to vote illegally. The most common fraud is when someone claims to be someone else who is registered but not likely to vote, either because they have died or because they moved out of State and are no longer eligible to vote in the State. Many States have laws requiring them to clean out voter registration lists and remove anyone who hasn’t voted in three years to eliminate those who have died or moved out of State so people can’t use those names to vote illegally, however that still leaves a window where someone can try to vote claiming they are someone who is already listed on the rolls, but is not likely to vote because they either died or moved out of State.

Voter Safety I-A-A
Democrats are fighting attempts to enact or maintain voter ID laws saying they prevent people, particularly minorities from voting. It is not strange that a large number of illegal immigrants are found on the voter registration rolls in States that allow online and mail registration since it doesn’t allow face to face verification of identity. It is also not surprising that many of them might vote in States that also do not require voter ID’s at the polls. Further problems arise when States allow registering at driver’s license offices and do not verify citizenship before issuing driver’s licenses. California recently enacted a law which will automatically register you to vote when you get a driver’s license or renew one unless you opt out. Since California also has enacted a law allowing people to get driver’s licenses without verifying citizenship, it means that up to a million illegal immigrants in California could become registered to vote. A review of Pennsylvania’s voter roles have shown over 100,000 non-citizens registered to vote. Pennsylvania also allows you to register to vote when you renew your driver’s license. There was no check to see how many have voted but it isn’t hard to think that a lot of them probably did since it is unlikely they would register to vote if they did not intend to vote, unless someone signed them up to vote, knowing they would not vote, so their names could be used to allow someone else to vote illegally. Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are being allowed to stay in the U.S. and States like California are now allowing them to get driver’s licenses, so the potential for fraud is unimaginable.

The National Voter Registration Act was passed to require States to clean up their voter registrations. Before President Obama took office, many States complied with the National Voter Registration Act and regularly cleaned their rolls. However, President Obama filed lawsuits against many States to prevent them from complying with the National Voter Registration Act. A clear act to defy the law and force the States to violate the law as well. President Obama claimed it deprived people of their right to vote, in spite of the fact that the majority were people who had died or moved out of State and were no longer eligible to vote. Ohio went ahead and cleaned their rolls anyway but the federal government took them to court and the court ordered Ohio to reinstate them. As a result, records showed that there was probably between 3-5 million people on the rolls in Ohio that weren’t eligible to vote. That left a great deal of potential for fraud. Ohio appealed it to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled that Ohio did not violate federal laws in cleaning up its voter rolls by removing the names of those who had not voted for several years. While it did say not voting alone was not an acceptable reason for removing them, since Ohio seeks to contact the person and if after notification the person still doesn’t vote, then it is permissible to remove them. Six other States have similar laws which means 43 States do not have laws protecting the integrity of their voting by removing those who do not vote. Judge Alito in the majority opinion stated that about 1 in 8 voter registrations are invalid or inaccurate allowing people to use those names fraudulently. It is not strange that dead people and those people voting in multiple States usually vote for Democratic candidates since Democrats are the ones fighting to keep these names on the rolls. Without a voter ID law, anyone can go to the voter rolls, pick out someone who hasn’t voted in a couple years and go to the polls claiming to be that person. Since the name of the person they claim to be is on the rolls, and they are not asked for identification, they could vote. Research showed that the man compiling the information was registered in three States, though he did not realize it. He had moved and not canceled his registration in the old State. Most people don’t cancel their voter registration when they move out of State, and most States don’t cross check voter registrations with death records. While Donald Trump urged States to comply with the act, many States controlled by Democrats refused. By not cleaning the rolls, it leaves a lot of ineligible voters registered which leaves a large pool of names for those who seek to stuff the ballot box with illegal votes by creating fake ballots under the names of those who haven’t voted. Judicial Watch, a political watch dog group, has uncovered evidence that at least 11 States, with a total of over 100 counties have more registered voters than people of eligible age to vote and have warned the counties that if they don’t make a reasonable effort to clean up their rolls, Judicial Watch will file a lawsuit against them to compel them to comply with the law. Private citizens should not have to go to court to compel States to obey federal law.
Freedom of Religion-B-V
We are in a cultural war between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. While liberals try to tell you that they just want equal time to express their beliefs, it is a lie. While they tell you they want to take all religion out of the schools, that is also a lie. While their religion is not organized like Christianity or Islam, their beliefs are as much a religion as anyone else’s religion. They believe in a god, they believe that they are the god and supreme ruler of their universe. They have a belief in a reason for their existence and the existence of everything around them, they believe it all happened by accidental occurrences down through history. They have a belief in what will happen when we die, they believe we will simply cease to exist. Their “religion” is very similar to the existential religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and similar religions. They are seeking to replace your religion with theirs. In fact, the seeds of this religion began sprouting in America in the hippy years when the hippies rejected the materialist culture and adopted many Hindu and Buddhist practices. They were originally attracted to Socialism which they equated with Communism (no relation to what Russia and China claim to have which is merely Socialism in disguise). Many of our leaders today are Socialists that came out of the hippy movement and have close ties with Russia and China. They have infiltrated the schools, the media, and the government to teach their religion and force you to accept it if you resist. The California State Assembly passed a resolution directing all religious leaders to promote homosexuality and the transgender lifestyle. While it is not legally binding, it shows how far the homosexual lobby is willing to go to promote its agenda. How long will it be before they pass a law requiring it? It is obviously a trial balloon sent up to see how much opposition there is before they push for a law. There are other States waiting to see how it turns out before pushing their own attempts to stamp out all religions, except their own. They believe that they are god the all-knowing one, and know what is best for you and are seeking to make themselves the god who rules your universe as well as their own, just as Caesar and many other kings and rulers of the past have done. The Bible says that in the last days, Satan will prowl like a roaring lion seeking who he may devour, seeking to turn even the elect, and all we have to do is look around to see that he has been very successful.

Many people say the world is so confusing today and they don’t know what to believe. I find two main trends by those who are intent on gaining power. The first is an old tactic characterized by the old saying, the best defense is a strong offence. In other words, strike first. Liberals have tried to cover up their crimes by accusing their opponents of doing it. Then when they are found out, those who accuse them look like they are merely trying to get back at liberals. When people began to suspect that Hillary Clinton was working with the Russians by selling American uranium to Russia, Liberals accused Donald Trump of working with the Russians. They manufactured fake documents to support their accusations, and engaged in a long drawn out investigation which turned up no evidence that Donald Trump was working with the Russians. That served two purposes. One was to distract people from investigating Hillary Clinton so it would not hurt her chances of being elected for President. The second was to discredit Donald Trump so he would not be elected. They felt confident that it would help them win the election but were shocked when the American people responded by electing Donald Trump anyway. They continued their smear attacks throughout his presidency in order to prevent Donald Trump from being reelected and were successful in manipulating the election in their favor.

While Democrats claim that the American people support their programs, the vast majority do not. They vote consistently for programs that support unions, abortion, and Gay privileges because those are the programs that are promoted by the organizations that contribute to their political campaigns. One Senator claimed in his financial report that he got over one million dollars for his Senate campaign in one campaign. With the costs of political campaigns, it is hard to ignore that kind of money. When Obamacare was being debated, several Democrat candidates promised their constituents that they would oppose pro-abortion mandates. Just before the vote, President Obama called them into his office for a talk. Shortly afterward, all of them voted for abortion mandates. I can imagine that the President probably reminded them how much they would lose if they didn’t comply. Republicans have no such large donors. They rely primarily on small donations from a large number of people which means they have to be responsive to the will of the people to get support. Some of them have corporations which support their campaigns but Democrats usually raise three to ten times the money that Republicans do, and the majority is from labor unions and abortion and Gay rights organizations. That is why they consistently vote to support the wishes of those groups. That reason, plus their control of the media and social media, is why they are able to dominate the news with their message. It is known that if you say something long enough and often enough, and do not hear any opposing information, many people are led to believe it is true, however that doesn’t mean it is true. It is very important to get the facts and decide for yourself rather than allowing yourself to be talked into something that might not be wise. .

Programs for the disabled have caused just as many problems. Disabled benefits are taken out of Social Security funds for those who haven’t reached retirement age but paid into Social Security and are unable to work. That adds to the number of people drawing on the fund. However, the worst problem is the way it is administered. There are many people who are disabled who could work with help. I had Polio when I was young and have trouble with my legs. There are a lot of jobs I can’t do, but I have found jobs I could do. I have been able to work most of my life up to retirement and still take odd jobs. While many recipients of disability are limited in the work they can do, there are other jobs they can do. It may require training but it would be far cheaper to train them and return them to the work force than to continue to support them. In addition, many have disabilities that could be helped with assistance devices but the devices are too expensive for disabled people who cannot work without them. It would be far cheaper to get them the devices and return them to the workforce than to continue to support them. Most of the social programs developed by the Democrats are geared toward maintaining those in need and not to returning them to active employment. The programs make the people dependent on government support instead of helping them provide for themselves. The real problem is that Democrats having been using that dependency to pressure recipients to vote for them. They claim that if Republicans get in power they will end the programs and recipients will lose their benefits. Republicans have made no such threats and have pushed to redesign the programs to make them more geared toward making recipients better able to provide for their own needs. Republicans did it with welfare and can do it with other programs if given the chance.

The programs for the elderly have been just as bad. Prior to Social Security, people worked until they could no longer work. Then they went in a nursing home or went to live with family. Social Security was meant for the few who could not work but were not in need of a nursing home. Now many people retire at 65 or even 62 so they can enjoy their retirement. As a result, a lot more people are drawing benefits and they are drawing them longer because many people live far longer than they used to. That would not have been a problem if Democrats had not drained the Social Security fund to develop other poverty programs. The money paid in would have drawn interest and continued to support the withdrawals. By draining the surplus, it forced the money paid in to fund current recipients and not sit drawing interest. That was not a problem at the time because there were more working than were drawing Social Security, however the signs pointed to trouble ahead, but they ignored them. The fact that people were living longer and drawing longer, is putting a bigger strain on Social Security than the designers planned on. In addition, abortion has eliminated one out of three babies. That, and the fact the more women are working and having fewer kids means that fewer kids are coming into the work force. That means that fewer workers are paying into the system while more are drawing out of it. That is putting an even bigger strain on the system which many predict will soon run out of money. In addition, Social Security has not kept up with inflation and many Seniors are struggling. Their solution is to increase the tax on the rich to provide extra benefits to the poorer recipients. They ignore the fact that there are very few very rich and the added income will not cover the added benefits to the lower income recipients that make up the bulk of recipients. Since Seniors are more healthy and many could work ten to twenty more years, It makes more sense to support Republican plans to raise the retirement age. That way more workers will work longer and draw for a shorter time. While they work, they will continue paying into the system while not drawing from it. That would provide far more benefits because the number contributing would be far greater. The number of people dying increases with age so the age group with the highest number is just after retirement. It addition, it would help if the Democrats just returned the funds they took out for other social programs, including the interest it would have made if invested. The workers paid that money in expecting it would be there for them when they retired but Democrats betrayed them by spending it on other programs. Those funds would support the program for many years to come. The Democrats cry about how Social Security is running out of funds even though those on Social Security paid that money into the fund but continue to add to the benefits that go to those on welfare who did not pay into it with no thought to the cost. If welfare benefits can be taken from the general fund, there is no reason that funds for Social Security can not be taken out. Seniors deserve it far more.
