House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) recently warned that “dangerous new policies” made by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who took the top job at the US Postal Service in June, will prevent mail-in ballots from being counted.

This is the kind of stuff I originally set out to bookmark on this Blog Heap o'Links, long ago.
I still have that undying love and belief in this country, that it is the most exceptional country on the planet, populated by an extraordinary people.
Nothing will ever shake that belief.
We have prevailed in similar perilous times throughout our history because we are Americans, by virtue of a political system unique in the world.
Like Jim in Galveston, I and so many others took that oath with no expiration. It is clear to me that at some point we'll be called on to fulfill it.
What form it will take is unknown to me right now, but there will be no hesitation.
There is no doubt we'll prevail, no matter the cost--because we ARE Americans, and as such are denied the option of failure.
Never forget that.

…The most important national treasure we have is our sovereignty, and from that our citizenship. This is not just about the rhetoric of “building a wall” but we must piece by piece, issue by issue decipher the cancer that is illegal immigration in the United States. This has nothing to do with xenophobia or racism. Either you believe we are a nation or you do not, simple.
Illegal immigration is a multi-headed hydra that adversely affects many operational systems of the United States. It affects our taxation, our education, our healthcare, our national security, and our domestic criminality — as with President Obama releasing nearly 20,000 criminal illegal immigrants, which folks is redundant– meaning if you are here “illegally” you’ve already committed a crime — kinda redundant wouldn’t you say?…
