Sorry, I didn’t see your post.

CB, it’s been years, ten I think, but when my TEXAS license was up for renewal, I had to provide my birth certificate and SS card to renew. If I remember correctly, it’s why the little star is now on my license. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but my license was scanned when I voted. It insures that I am who the license says. Gee, I thought my white privilege would allow me to bypass this inconvenience. Lol. It’s called a real ID and everybody has to do it.

Is there anyone on here who has ever had a problem voting due to ID verification? That’s what I thought. So it’s been this way for years, now it’s a problem. Why? Can you still vote? Why the concern for anyone else? Have they had trouble voting? Nope. Some of you like to argue a stupid point when it really has no effect on anyone. You’ve always been selfish and never cared for anyone before now, why mess with your record? If you care about illegals voting then you’re not an American….plain and simple.

Show me where it is a constitutional right to vote by non citizens. You can’t.

We have to provide ID all of the time. It doesn’t mean we are guilty of anything. I can see how that could be misconstrued though…..????

Just something I found.

Harry S. Truman is generally considered the best U.S. president who was profoundly unpopular and unliked while in office. While often ranked in the top 10 by historians today, Truman left office in 1953 with some of the lowest approval ratings in history . Reddit +1 Here is a breakdown of why Truman, along with others, fits this description: 1. Harry S. Truman (President 1945–1953) Why he was unliked: Truman faced a challenging post-war economy, a stalemate in the Korean War (which many dubbed "Truman's war"), and corruption scandals within his administration. In February 1952, his Gallup poll approval rating fell to 22%, lower than Nixon's rating during Watergate. Why he is considered great: Historians now praise him for laying the foundations for winning the Cold War, implementing the Marshall Plan, and navigating the integration of the Armed Forces. VOA - Voice of America English News +3 2. Abraham Lincoln (President 1861–1865) Why he was unliked: Lincoln was arguably the most unpopular president at the time of his inauguration and throughout the Civil War. Northern newspapers often called him a "simple Susan" and a weakling, and many considered his early military decisions a failure. In February 1863, it was reported that he had no "personal loyalty" to him in Washington. Why he is considered great: He preserved the Union and abolished slavery, and his popularity only surged after his assassination. American Battlefield Trust +1 3. Jimmy Carter (President 1977–1981) Why he was unliked: Carter was viewed as incompetent during his term, particularly regarding the Iran Hostage Crisis, high inflation, and economic downturn. Why he is considered great: While his presidency was considered a failure by many at the time, his post-presidency humanitarian work has made him one of the most respected former presidents, turning him into a "good" historical figure. Reddit +1 4. Ulysses S. Grant (President 1869–1877) Why he was unliked: Although popular at first, Grant's presidency was marred by the Panic of 1873 (a massive economic downturn) and extensive corruption scandals. Why he is considered great: Modern historians have elevated Grant, recognizing his strong efforts to protect freed slaves, fight the Ku Klux Klan, and expand civil rights in the South.

You’ve been “talking down” to the “Trump crowd” for a while now. Trump hasn’t changed. I only wonder why some are gluttons for punishment.

You should have voted for Kamala. All she knows is that Iran is a big country, kinda like Ukraine. You’d have Iranians up the keister, kinda like Dearborn. You voted for Trump 3 times. Let him do his job.

Magic lamps and flying carpets too.

What better way to show hypocrisy than to expose the two worst presidents in history….after Carter? The dems are ate up with it.

This is how Iran/Muslims are attacking America. I don’t think it can be legislated away. To me, this is what the 2nd amendment is all about.

NYC could use their support.

and he said it wrong….lol

Notice all the bobble heads, especially her husband behind her.

Wrong. Iran wanted nukes so they could eliminate Israel. It’s not rocket science. As for being armed….my friend in Evadale and I could thwart an Iranian invasion, except that they are cowardly back fighters. I liked that the shooter at Old Dominion was killed by unarmed students. I believe they beat him to death.

Taking democrats at their word….lmao….

Tell us what a mid-term flip will do? Please give some valuable insight. What policies are you hoping the dems can come up with?

Many moons……you read my post. Lmao.

People actually think Trump would start a war for a distraction. Where do we get these people?

I screen shot one of your posts many moons ago. Every time I see you post, I just pull it up. It’s about as informative. Don’t unblock me. The mid-terms usually flip. Why would anyone cry? Lmao

Google: Crude oil prices peaked at an all-time high of nearly $140−$147 per barrel in July 2008 during the George W. Bush administration due to high demand and stagnant production. Prices later rose again during the Obama administration, driven by global recovery and speculative trading, sparking intense political debate over energy policies. The American Presidency Project +3 George W. Bush Era Oil Prices Price Spike: Oil prices rose steadily throughout Bush’s presidency, reaching record highs near $147 per barrel in July 2008. Causes: The 2007–08 price spike was primarily driven by strong global demand, particularly from developing nations, against stagnant world production. End of Term: As the 2008 financial crisis worsened, oil prices collapsed, with gasoline dropping to $1.85 per gallon by the time Obama took office in January 2009. The Century Foundation +3 Obama Era Oil Prices Rising Prices: Gas prices rose during the Obama administration, setting records for February 2012, which opponents blamed on insufficient domestic drilling policies. Response: In 2011, President Obama authorized the release of 30 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to counter supply disruptions. Market Factors: Proponents argued that high prices were due to global factors beyond presidential control, while critics pointed to reduced drilling on federal lands early in his term. Policy Shift: While initially opposing increased conventional drilling, the Obama administration oversaw the development of new extraction techniques and later lifted the ban on crude oil exports in his second term. Cato Institute +4 Key Takeaways Common Drivers: Both administrations faced high prices largely driven by global supply and demand imbalances, though political arguments differed on how much a president influences these prices. Political Debate: Bush's high prices were criticized for inaction, while Obama faced criticism that his policies were not sufficiently boosting domestic supply
