to Supreme Court ahead of Election

Original Article

Virginia attorney general Jason Miyares on Monday took the commonwealth’s noncitizen-voter case to the Supreme Court, after a lower court blocked officials from purging their voter rolls of noncitizen aliens. A federal appeals court on Sunday backed a lower court’s Friday ruling that ordered Virginia to restore some 1,600 suspected noncitizens who are ineligible to vote to the state’s voter rolls. Miyares and Governor Glenn Youngkin responded with a pledge to take the case to the Supreme Court with just nine days left before the election. They followed through on Monday.

Smart move! Hopefully, our Supreme Court will have the gut to agree NO Illegals should vote in our Presidential Election! Doesn't matter if they are taken off the Rolls now or the day before the Election. Illegal is Illegal and that means NO!

"1,600 suspected noncitizens" - who each checked a box to volunteer the information that they are not citizens. This is taking Democrat lawfare to an absurdity.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond covers the states of Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. I hope the Supreme Court reverses the two lower courts and fast.

Frankly, I think the voter registrations nationwide need to be purged every ten years, starting on an odd year. This would empty the rolls of dead voters, duplicate voters, snowbird voters and illegals, as well as those who are registered as living at non-residential addresses. New registrants will need to show both a photo ID, proof of citizenship and a previous voting card or proof of previous registration to be re-registered to vote. Doing this every ten years keeps the rolls clean and honest.

Isn't it against federal law for non-citizens to vote in federal elections? If so, why are they even listening to a lower court? That court doesn't have a leg to stand on. This doesn't need to go to the Supreme Court. By doing so, they are just giving credence to a lower court violating federal law.

If you have the names, set up a flag in the system that if anyone tries to use any of those names to vote, have the person arrested immediatly. And be sure to broadcast the message "WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE.....DONT TRY IT". That might be a deterrent to minimize the illegals from coming to the polls

This is a sign of liberal insanity (apologize for the redundancy) that voting by NON-CITIZENS is even an issue. They evidently registered ILLEGALLY.

as i understand it people removed can still vote provisional, going on record, with legitimacy of thei eligibility to be handled in due course, so person loses nothing under VA law.

Harris Pivots to Unity in Closing Argument
after Pushing ‘Threat-to-Democracy’
Charge Throughout Campaign

Vice President Kamala Harris pivoted to a message of unity in her closing argument to the nation on Tuesday night, after having spent the last weeks of her campaign insisting that her opponent is a fascist whose election poses an existential threat to the future of the nation. Addressing a crowd of supporters from the Ellipse in downtown Washington, D.C. — the same spot where Trump, on January 6, 2021, infamously urged his followers to march on the Capitol — Harris cited the Capitol riot as the primary example of her opponent’s unfitness for office. “Look, we know who Donald Trump is.

The Democrats have coalesced around a closing message, and it's not just that Donald Trump and half the country are Nazis itching to round up women and force them to bear blond children as their husbands, boyfriends, and boyfriend's boyfriend are carted off to the gas chambers; they have another message they want you to hear: Trump's supporters make unfunny jokes. That's right. A so-so joke is going to put Kamala Harris over the top. The Democrats and the left went INSANE over this joke, and are using it as a wedge issue, claiming it proves what we already know: Trump is Hitler. Discussion raged

J.D. Vance, former president Donald Trump’s running mate, will sit down for an interview with Joe Rogan on Wednesday after the podcast host rejected a potential interview with Vice President Kamala Harris due to her campaign’s demands. The Harris campaign insisted that the podcaster travel to her and limit the interview to one hour. After the news of Harris’s terms broke, the Trump campaign jumped on the opportunity to get Vance on the podcast and agreed to have the episode taped at Rogan’s studio in Austin. A Vance spokesperson confirmed the episode will be taped on Wednesday. It will be released later this week.

I don't know what the vote counts will be, whether they will be mostly accurate, what shenanigans might take place or not, or whether the obvious preference cascade will carry Trump over the top next week. But one thing I do know for certain is that if Donald Trump wins, the violence and rioting will be off the charts. The mainstream media and the Democrats like to memory-hole the fact that rioting was significant after Trump's 2016 victory, and that was well before the "Trump is Hitler" narrative began being sold to us. In those days, he was a sexually harassing buffoon with a bit of Russian agent thrown in.

The House Judiciary Committee is examining a new whistleblower report that the FBI targeted Donald Trump soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered by FBI Director James Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation. An FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee. The whistleblower disclosure said that two female FBI undercover agents successfully infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honey pots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail.

Give the man some credit. He could have stayed on his yacht and just ignored the whiners in the Post newsroom who are still unhappy about his decision not to allow the paper to run a Kamala Harris endorsement. Instead, he took the bull by the horns and his employees know they are living in a dream world, one in which people trust the pronouncements of journalists. We must be accurate, and we must be believed to be accurate. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but we are failing on the second requirement. Most people believe the media is biased.

It's not many Democrats saying it out loud, but at least a few are standing up to the bullies in their party who are demonizing Republicans as literal Nazis. The level of rhetoric is off the charts, coming from the party that claims to want to unify the country. Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin are walking the earth again, spewing hatred and plotting to murder people, ban interracial marriage, and build concentration camps. Many Democrats and media figures think this is perfectly normal because, well, Donald Trump criticizes murderers, rapists, and Venezuelan gangs. He makes policy proposals that vast majorities of the American people approve of, like deporting

Perhaps the stream of resignations at the Washington Post over the last few days will prove a feature rather than a bug for Jeff Bezos. After the Amazon multi-billionaire ordered the Post to pull its endorsement of Kamala Harris, staffers and editors erupted in outrage, while readers canceled subscriptions. Several staffers announced their intent to resign in protest over the paper's refusal to take an official stand against Donald Trump. Having those staffers out of the way may help Bezos' reported overall strategy to restore ideological balance to his newspaper. The New York Times buried that in their report on Friday evening that Bezos intends to broaden interest

Americans should prepare for “unrest’ if former President Donald Trump completes the greatest political comeback in modern American politics, Democrats told the Wall Street Journal on Monday. The potential for Democrats to perpetrate political violence undermines their narrative that Republicans, and especially the America First movement, are a threat to democracy. “I think there’ll be some violence. I think there’ll be workplace fights. There’ll be fights at kids’ birthday parties. I think they’ll be protests and will turn violent,” Mark Halperin recently told Tucker Carlson. Resistance groups, according to the Journal’s Joshua Chaffin and Valerie Bauerlein, believe citizens should be “bracing for unrest” if Trump wins:

The havoc wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina brought disaster to homes and families, but that has not stopped Democrats from blocking the approval of emergency early voting sites in the heavily Republican area. The refusal to act forced the GOP-led state legislature to intervene.

Both counties voted for Donald Trump in 2020. “Ensuring the right to vote is upheld for western NC citizens devastated by Hurricane Helene should be a non-partisan issue,

Nothing says joy like an abortion, am I right? If you cringed reading that, take it up with Vice President Kamala Harris. On Friday, just 11 days from the election, the Democratic presidential nominee campaigned in Houston in part to boost the Democrat running for the Senate. But she wasn't here only for a Senate race.By talking about abortion and basking in the fame of a celebrity or two, Harris tried to make an example of Texas while peddling a false narrative about joy and freedom to women. I hope women see through this charade.
