On Millions of Kicks & Lane Picking

"This bill destroys the country! [...] It's about PURGING the rolls!"

"It allows ICE to kick tens of MILLIONS of people off the rolls!"

The above quote is from Chuck Schumer's public pontifications on SAVE as recorded here at  

https://x.com/i/status/2031458602330751470   While some hear him as saying tens of millions, others hear tens of billions.  Either way, it brings up the questions of how and why ICE would be involved in kicking tens of millions or billions of people off the rolls???

Jeff Childers, at Coffee & Covid follows up with the following question and conclusion: "He tried to explain that the real problem with requiring citizenship verification is that it would lead to “purging” the voter rolls using “an algorithm put together by ICE, put together by DOGE and Musk.” Where he got that sinister ICE-DOGE-Musk axis is anybody’s guess. Maybe peyote?

I just want to get this all straight, so I’m not being unfair: Democrats insist non-citizen voting is a myth, a feverish, made-up right-wing conspiracy theory, practically nonexistent. But also, if you clean the rolls, ICE would remove so many ineligible voters that it would “literally destroy the country.” Both of those things can’t be true at the same time, Chuck. Pick a lane."

The victim of the terrorist attack at Old Dominion has been identified as Lt. Col. Brandon Shah-- who was a Professor of Military Science and the leader of the university's ROTC program.

With the following add-on by Chase Spears, who was a class mate of the Lt. Col from the Command and General Staff College

"He deployed to fight the enemy overseas in combat zones.

Meanwhile, America imported the enemy who k*lled him. When I say this nation's immigration policy is a betrayal, I mean it. Words fail."

Tripped over this one and was skeptical,

to say the least, but finally got some confirmation.  Don't know how many of you saw this, but it's a, "Yeah, I'd have gone, too".

Turns out Trump and Netayahu were right on the money. The headline - Trump attacked before Iran nuked America, saving millions of lives - pretty much says it all. The long and the short of it is during the peace negotiations being mediated by Oman, the Iranians bragged to US officials that in 6 days, they were going to be at 90% enrichment and that they had 5 long-range missiles ready, which they were going to arm and launch as soon as possible, in order to get rid of the Great Satan.

Whether it was a bluff or not, I have no idea, but the idea the mullahs would be that stupid floors me.

This would mean  anywhere from 5 - 50 million Americans (if they hit Seattle, LA, and San Fiasco, probably more - prevailing winds) dead and a lot of infrastructure gone. This is why Trump is doing to the mullahs what Eisenhower and MacArthur did to the Krauts and the Nips in '45 or what Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan did to the Confederacy.

Why they're playing this sotto voce, I'm not sure. Clearly, once this does get out (and it will, I have no doubt), forget Rushmore. America's going to build a new mountain just for him. The Demos are trying to stem the tide by talking draft and doing the Vietnam dance, forgetting how Brandon was talking draft as a way of cutting unbemployment.. It won't work, simply because this is a war fought with high tech and special operations and the kind of WWII-era dumb draftee the Demos envision in a DEI Army isn't needed.
