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.
The Left will try to paint anyone who opposes the John Lewis Voting Rights Act as a racist or a vote suppressor. This sort of language demeans what African Americans went through to fully secure their right to vote in the 1960s. We cannot let these types of attacks stop us from fighting against a federal takeover of elections.

The Commies are really itching for Civil War.
The RATs have to sieze total power. The audits will expose them and states will make it much harder for them to steal elections. They get their dictatorship before the 2022 elections or wither away.
For years I’ve been saying that Republicans should play “if not this then you’ll like what comes next even less” hardball with the scum of the DNC.
Ha! Ask Bobby Kennedy about playing ‘hard ball’ with the guys who bought the WH for your brother.....who then GAVE you office of US AG !
That's a thin line. Way too thin.
Bobby should have known. Kinda like Seth Rich should have known.
As was pointed out in a thread yesterday: McAfee didn’t kill himself.
And even well before Kennedy in office then Senator LBJ had a hitman who, after killing a guy in front of witnesses, he could get off with a slap on the wrist.
Bobby was a little twerp who wanted it both ways ... getting into office with mafia help... THEN going after Hoffa.
How dumb can you get?
Thanks for that.
According to Bidet, if we don’t “have F-15s and some nuclear weapons”, we don’t stand a chance.
A theory that may well come to be tested.
the real head of the snakes need to be cut off before this turns around
They jumped the gun...about a generation to early...but they just cant help themselves....they saw an opportunity and went for it....but they arent nearly as smart as they think they are...they locked everyone up in front of a tv and supported,excused,and condoned riots, looting, and murder all summer while simultaneously calling the actions of their violent brown shirt foot soldiers peaceful protesters and blaming white supremacists, attacking cops,and issuing illogical covid restrictions....
They didnt wait for marxist critical race theory to become the norm by stealth and widely accepted...they didn’t wait for sexual deviance to be embraced...they didnt wait until purging the military of patriots... they didnt wait to attack the filibuster...they didnt wait till they controlled all the media and isolated us...they didnt wait until they could shut Trump up...and they didnt wait to disarm us...
This is a vast overreach...and they know the backlash is coming...so they are screeching about “democracy” and pushing federal control of elections...trying desperately to paint any resistance as white supremacy and domestic terrorism...they will gladly fight to raise energy prices..embrace inflationary policies...create another housing bubble...flood our cities with illegals...empty the prisons and set thugs loose to prey on the weak...
Because their goal is to control every aspect of life...what we drive...what we see...what we eat...where we live...where we work...what we know...what we think...
But their linguistic manipulation only works on emotive based thinkers...their own useful idiots...
But the unwashed proles are waking up...pushing back...that’s why January 6th freaked them out so much...they got a dose of reality...if it was truly an act of insurrection...the streets of DC would have been lined by democrats hanging from lamp posts...the trump rallies showed them that we surround them...there are at least 80 million of us...
Biden made a freudian slip when he said we would need F-15s and nukes to take over...
No...they would need F-15s and nukes to keep us from taking over...and yeah...I believe these marxist progressives would order air strikes or perhaps use a few tactical nukes if they can find someone willing to follow their orders...
Yes, and I’m taking my .50cal, AR-10, 2 Class III SBR AR-15s & Suppressor, trading them in on an F-22.
Prophetic.
I think they crossed the Rubicon because the Swamp and its ChiCom allies saw Trump was turning the tide. They had to stop him before Trump stopped them.
That is just great. We clearly need a better strategy of some sort to stop the cancer that is taking down the country.
