Hope your eye gets better fast. My back is much better but still not completely healed.

How’s Roy?

The Left’s Next Move Is Even Worse than H.R. 1

This week, the Democrats’ bill to federalize our elections, S.1, failed in the U.S. Senate. Thanks to the filibuster, the bill fell short of its needed sixty-vote threshold.

The filibuster stopped a partisan power grab that was designed to protect the Democrats’ majority. S.1 was a radical bill that would have made our elections less secure, and made it easier to commit voter fraud. It even would have even banned popular voter ID laws.

We should all be thankful for Sen. Joe Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema for resisting calls from the radical left to eliminate the filibuster. Without them, we would be having a federal takeover of our elections now.

The filibuster was designed to build consensus among the states. The states would have lost power under S.1, and it was important for any fundamental restructuring of American elections had broad consensus. The filibuster worked the way it was supposed to.

Yet Americans should not let their guard down following the defeat of S.1. The Left is already pushing an even worse bill, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Do not let the bill’s name fool you. It is not a civil rights bill. It is an attempt to strip states of their powers to govern and run their own elections.

If you opposed S.1, then you should oppose The John Lewis Voting Rights Act. It is still a massive federal takeover of elections. It would put ideologically radical bureaucrats at the Department of Justice in charge of every single detail of our elections.

These far-left bureaucrats would have to approve every change in our elections. From large changes such as mandating voter ID to small changes from moving at the time county election offices are open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:35 a.m.

The John Lewis Voting Rights Act removes power from the people and gives it to the Washington swamp.

Corduroy did okay! It was kind of cute actually, hubby was telling me all the things that Roy ate while I was gone. So he was keeping track even if he was pretending like he didn’t care. And now Roy is still out, hanging out in the living room. So he must be feeling okay. I was asking vets how do I know if he’s in pain or not since cat tent tend to hide it. And they said if he is out and about with us and he is probably feeling okay. That he would be hiding and sitting sort of hunched up if he was hurting.

And he’s still eating okay since I got home. Knock on wood! Thanks for asking.
