Let's be a little pedanticifery.
Total US population: 346,043,244 - 72,832,861 (those under 18 years of age) - minus 4,400,000 (those ineligible due to felon status) = 268,810,383 (total adult age citizens eligible to vote).
That's 93%! Come back and vote, then you can leave! Don't forget your coat!
I just wonder how many people will question voter turn out well in excess of 100% registered voters. I mean once the illegal immigrants and the Civil War veterans vote, we should hit some record numbers. I'm talking US Fruit Company numbers; so high it's bananas.
Are they really registering ammunition at the federal level? Perhaps this is a work around for the prohibition on the creation of a federal firearms registry. It is illegal for BATFE to create or keep a registry of firearms owners under the law. This is why they made specific language addressing the keeping of a list of NICS applicants, the legislation requires the destruction of NICS applicant's list within 24 hours of said application. In other words, when you do a background check when purchasing a firearm, the record of that application must be destroyed within 24 hours.
At this point, the average American doesn't understand the implications of a full scale nuclear exchange. I don't know, but I think the only thing able to shake the sleepers out of their slumber, is facing the reality of the world that death is a very likely and probable outcome in the event of a full on toe to toe with a Ruskie missile strike. Privation is a more likely wakeup call in today's zeitgeist, that one would shake the vapid burgen bag wannabes to the core. I think an invasion of Taiwan is a more logical scenario. A successful defense of Taiwan would make lots of flag draped coffins a reality, and an unsuccessful defense would cause the dollar's hegemony to drop off globaly.
When will Mr Beast give out the tetanus vaccines like B&M Gates, the kind that sterilized thousands. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12346214/
I have proposed using special election coins. You put your coins in your candidate's slot and the votes are weighed. Special alloys for each election and a coin comparator to kick out counterfeits. Keep the design and the alloys under lock and key until just before the election. It would be impossible to make the dies, alloys, and stamp the coins in time. Bureau of engraving and printing could do the job in a couple weeks. Collectors would pay for the coins after the election to offset the costs.
Give me a Toyota pickup with the diesel power plant. If it holds up in places best described as a boil on the ass end of the world; maintenance done by an illiterate goat herder, and fueled with diesel that was fresh when the Beirut barracks had an Eagle, Globe, and Anchor flying out front, it's all good! Too bad the chicken tax screwed us out of that one.
As for my politicians, make em rugged and lean. Give them the heart of a servant and a deep hatred for smug narcissists. While we're wishing, let them want to leave office after one or two terms because the greasy nature of Washington makes them physically ill.
It's like cars. We all know the kind, shiny, stylish, and sporty. Unfortunately, these cars are steaming piles of trash. They are unreliable, have horrendous resale value, and are incredibly unsafe but people buy them because they're cool looking, or fast, or just a status symbol. Smart people buy the sensible car that may not turn heads and may cost a little more up front, but after 300k miles the sensible car still runs great. On the other hand, the popular, shiny, heap gave up the ghost just out of warranty at 48k miles long before the payments are done.
The group moving closer isn't necessarily growing in numbers. The group moving farther away from the light appears to be increasing by scores. When you weigh biblical prophecy against world events, Pike's scheme appears to be on point.
So let's get this straight. In order to punish men for voting, they are withholding what I can only summize is their understanding of currency? Is that all the worth they see for themselves?
