Amen to that, Brother.
What a pant load this is! Next we’ll all have to have our SSN tattooed on our foreheads.
*************************************************
I think not ,, the SSA doesn’t allow the ssn to be used as any form of id (is it a felony or misdemeanor?) ... and we know they really mean it by requiring it’s use as an id on d/l’s and student id’s , bank accounts and hundreds of other things..
A smart card based system will be less secure than a dumb card.. there will no doubt be either a software workaround or a glitching fix to them by the forgers within months as hackers get a reader terminal to disassemble.. then the smart card that is 100% infallible and trusted by the gov’t becomes a liability as it allows undesireables access to whatever this is supposed to keep them out of.. I don’t like any of it but a dumb card that would be used in conjunction with a retina scan connected to a centralized secure computer system would be more secure by far..
Thanks for your kind affirmation!
Was beginning to wonder if anyone was awake who was well informed . . . or if anyone was not occupied with Resurrection Sunday Weekend relatives and such . .
Much appreciate your kind comment.
God’s best to you and yours this weekend.
Thanks for your informed, informative comment . . .
Are you saying that you have some . . . first hand personal communications say . . . from said motel? Or at least not that much removed from first hand communications or . . . ???
Very curious, if you are willing to elaborate.
Thanks much.
A blessed Resurrection Sunday to you and yours.
INDEED.
Ain’t treasonous, stupid, idiotic, clueless, power-mongering elitist tyranny and enslavement wonderful.

Thank you.
May God shower his blessings on yours.
I already know who I am, my state department of motor vehicles knows who I am, the social security administration has my number, my birth certificate says who I am, date and where I was born, my baptismal certificate says who I am, my First Communion Certificate says who I am, my Confirmation certificate says who I am, my Marriage License says who I am and who I married, my high school diploma says who I am, my college diploma says who I am, my employer knows who I am, my doctor knows who I am, and my insurance companies know who I am, and if the government doesn't know by now who I am, my Mom and Dad are alive, they can vouch for me.
Did I forget anything? Oh yes, the deed for my home, childhood friends, family, new friends, etc., etc..
$23 Billion another certificate to tell me who I am.
MUCH APPRECIATED.
BTTT
So must we now learn how to speak gestapo German?
“$23 Billion another certificate to tell me who I am.”
No, to tell THEM who you are.
Now see, that's your problem. You are a real live *native* born American. We have to keep track of you rabble rouser's.
Oh that's priceless!
Why not just use the Passport...we can’t even go to Canada or Mexico without it now.
If a Real ID data base would be insecure would it be any more insecure then the data bases our information is in now.
If privacy is the concern does anyone think they have greater privacy now?
How much does credit fraud and stolen ID cost now and would that change under RealID?
Whatever the valid objections to Real ID are this newspaper didn’t hit them by a long way.
That was absolutely hilarious thanks!
The feds can’t even protect their own information. I have the home phone numbers of two Presidents and no less than 2 dozen current and former Cabinet members, plus numerous political VIPs. Never called any of them, because I know they could care less about what a peon like myself thinks.
Rats, if they don’t know by now, what an idiotic excuse to verify what they already know. What about the Census records, and IRS records?
Just another boondoogle scheme to create another reason for more confounding red tape and bureaucratic nincompoopery at the expense of the “We the People”.
What they have in mind is a more compiled “chip file” that would include your religious beliefs and medical records amongst other things.
It’s for your own own good, doncha know? sarc/
