Now with the issue of voter ID, we're supposed to believe that there are still a significant number of voting-age citizens (we're being diplomatic here - given that number is likely close to zero) that do not have a basic tool to function in our modern society. And that same significant number of voting-age citizens can never accomplish certain basic tasks. A list that should strain leftist credulity to the breaking point.
We're supposed to believe the lie that there are citizens of voting age who don't have photo ID.
Thus, they can never drive a car (or any motorized vehicle).
Never rent a car, buy car insurance, file auto insurance claims, register a vehicle, or even transfer a vehicle's title.
These citizens of voting age without photo ID can never use car sharing apps, buy an airline ticket in person, board a commercial flight, or enter the TSA pre-check.
They also can never check a bag at the airport, rent a U-Haul or moving truck, or even buy a bus or a train ticket in person.
These mythical citizens can never open a bank account, withdraw a large amount of cash, or cash a check.
They can never deposit cash, wire money, or get a cashier's check.
Without a photo ID, these voting age citizens can never apply for or refinance a loan. They cannot apply for a credit card.
We're supposed to believe the leftist lie that these people can get by without ever renting, buying, or leasing any kind of real estate. Much less get the utilities turned on, or transferred to their name.
They also can never apply for unemployment, workers' comp, file a labor complaint, or even join a union.
These citizens can never obtain medical care or even pick up a prescription. They also cannot go to the ER, obtain health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.
These people can't even buy a beer at the end of the day.
In summary, we're supposed to believe the abject lie that there can be a significant number of voting-age citizens who do not have the simple expedient of a photo ID.
I have enjoyed the artwork which has spawned from the TikTok moment which occurred aboard a B / D train at the 155th & 8th Ave. station in Manhattan on Sunday.
California managed to lose a trillion dollars of taxable wealth in three months just by threatening to tax it.
Mark Zuckerberg is buying a $150-200M mansion on Indian Creek Island (aka "Billionaire Bunker") in Miami, fleeing California ahead of a proposed 5% wealth tax on billionaires. The tax would apply retroactively to anyone who was a California resident as of January 1st, 2026. Zuck joins Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, and David Sacks in the exodus. Tech investor Chamath Palihapitiya and All-In podcaster reckoned that California's taxable billionaire wealth has dropped from $2T to under $1T in weeks.
Zuck's new home sounds lovely, and it sits on an artificial island with gated bridge access and a private police force that includes its own water patrol. Billionaire problems. Even assuming Zuckerberg paid top dollar for the house, $200 million, that is a tiny fraction of the $11+ billion he'd have been taxed if California's ballot resolution passes. (He bought it from the founder of the Jersey Mike's sub franchise. Only in America does a sandwich mogul's mansion become a tech titan's tax shelter.)
Zuckerberg spent years helping California Democrats get elected. Now those Democrats want 5% of his net worth. You hate to see it. Actually --and I cannot stress this enough-- you absolutely love to see it.
It's sad when a hero to the Left turns out to be a Satan-worshipping child-eater. Amazing how he was still getting texts from sitting congressmembers regarding cross-examining Republican even after he was found guilty.
Of course, the last hero of the Left, George Floyd, was a drug addict who once held a loaded gun to the belly of a pregnant woman. Consistency counts.
When the 55 gallon drum of sulfuric acid fits, wear it.
As I observe this latest round of tapestry-weaving directed at the synthesis of an entirely new Epstein narrative, I begin to wonder how many times per day Pam Bondi thinks to herself "Nixon may have avoided prison, but his Attorney General John Mitchell didn't."
Going from 2.9 million to 2.7 million non-military federal employees is still 2 million too many. But it's a step in the right direction.
