A Fraudulent Attempt to Avoid Voter Fraud

 

December 21, 2025

 

The Department of Justice wants states to hand over voter information so that it can conduct a federal review of the voting lists, for the purpose of removing ineligible voters. A noble ideal, but it involves handing over partial social security numbers, dates of birth, and driver’s license numbers; and the government would be able hand over the information to a contractor. Can you think of a better way to facilitate identity theft?

 

Also—and equally importantly—does anybody think that the DOJ will stop with purging voter rolls? What about using the data to figure out who voted for whom? The possibilities for retaliation chill the blood.

 

Some states have rejected the overture outright; others, like Missouri, are considering it.

 

My fervent prayer is that elected officials remember that they are supposed to be protecting the country, its citizens, and its ideals, and not their own interests, when they respond to threats on our liberty.

It seems that some Republicans in Congress are declining to run for repeat terms, citing the incivility, among other things, of politics today.

 

On their way out the door, maybe they can vote for what they truly believe is right, instead of trying to protect their careers by toeing the party line.

 

 

Flawed but Fun Holiday Movie

December 14, 2025

 

I was enjoying the absurdity of Michelle Pfeiffer's character in “Oh. What. Fun.” until the part when she neglected to say those four important words: “Help me clean up.” I couldn’t muster up any sympathy for that scene.

 

Other than that, and the scene where her family can’t send one simple text—“On my way to pick you up”—I enjoyed the movie.

 

I guess they don’t make movies about moms who are not doormats and don’t put up with crap; or how could they have the heartwarming ending where people realize what they’re doing wrong?

 

Still, it was a lot of fun.
