N the Cat in Times of Emotional Turmoil

Apparently, N the Cat has picked up another behavior from M the Cat: compassion when Cat Mom is feeling really bad.

N the Cat is not without compassion, but it takes a lot to activate it. She stayed right by me years ago when my house was repeatedly broken into and even would come when I called her name for about 6 weeks until everything calmed down again. (Now she just looks at me if I say her name in the same room. She's not getting up for that).

Last night it became obvious around 3 am that Harris had lost the election because I was not getting any text messages from the campaign.

N the Cat looked me in the eye, recognized my emotional state, then decided to lay down on my lap and purr for a while. M the Cat would have marched right up on me and head-butted me, but N is more reserved. She rarely just opts to sit on me, but she has been more tolerant and supportive since M's death.

At 7 am she stood over me and meowed for breakfast. Support time was over. Time to get with the program.

On July 10, 2024, the SAVE ACT, Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, cleared the House Chamber with a 221-198 vote. Only 5 Democrats voted with the 216 Republicans, which in my opinion, should have been a bipartisan vote clearing the House Chamber with a unanimous vote.

Before we move on to discuss more precise topics of what the SAVE ACT aims to do and how it closes loopholes in the current process, I wanted to take a few moments to acknowledge the 5 Democratic Congress members, that went against their own party and voted to restore fair and secure elections by requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, so the American people can trust the election system with the known issues and problems that have been occurring and reported on a regular basis leading up to quite arguably the most important election of our lifetimes.

I do not know their reasons behind why they chose to vote against their party, but either way, it gives me hope that at least there are five Democrats that consider this a non-partisan issue. There should be some shared values between party lines. Having different views on certain issues can be healthy to explore different angles and perspectives. But as far as core values, shared between all parties, there should be more of them on the important issues with morality at the root of the issue being debated. And this is just one of those examples. I wish more would have joined them on such an important issue.

Also, I should mention that the common response as to why most Democrats have voted against this bill, is that requiring proof of citizenship would somehow disenfranchise marginalized groups of voters that may have issues obtaining these types of documents. This is simply not a valid reason, which I will go into more detail later in this article. With that said, knowing that the Democrats are using an invalid reason for not wanting to secure our election process; this begs the question, why do they not want to secure our election process so that Americans can trust the results?

For those of you that want to read the actual House Bill H.R. 8281 SAVE ACT, the link is below. 👇👇👇👇👇👇

For those of you that would like a more concise summary of the 22 page document, you can go to my summary here: 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

But here is the gist of it in a nutshell.

1.) The SAVE ACT requires all states to have a process in place to check individuals that are going through the process of getting a driver's license, state ID, applying for Medicare/Medicaid services, or at any other governrnment office covered under the NVRA(National Voters Registration Act) of 1993 as a place to be able to registster to vote, to validate with acceptable documentation, outlined in those links above (👆👆👆), to prove their citizenship status before being registered to vote.

2.) The SAVE ACT also requires that states have a process to check the validity of current individuals on voter registration rolls as valid US citizens and those identified as needing further validation be notified with an official communication with instructions about what is needed to validate citizenship and informing those that have already registered and those in the process of registering of the criminal penalties for knowingly providing false information to the government. There is also a required process in this program to purge non-citizens from voter registration rolls until documentary evidence that can prove citizenship is received before being placed back onto voter rolls.

3.) There is a component of the SAVE ACT, that aims to streamline the citizenship status verification process by intergovernmental agencies and data sharing. The approved verification sources are as follows;

A.) Department of Homeland Security using Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE)

B.) Social Security Administration through the use of Social security # verification service

C.) State agencies that supply State ID cards, Drivers Licenses in which the agency confirms the citizenship status of its applicants.

D.) Other sources, including databases that have the ability to confirm citizenship status.

4.) It should also be noted that an expansion with a few amendments to the NVRA of 1993, is that each state must maintain a program called the Election Assisistance Commission, which is a program that aims to help Americans that may need assistance with the process of navigating the process of obtaining proof of citizenship for the purpose of registering to vote. Further, the SAVE ACT, does allow for a pathway for those Americans that are without documentation or proof of citizenship that involve some alternate methods and an Affidavit process that a committee may approve using a case by case basis.

So, when I mentioned earlier, the common reason that many Democrats give about disenfranchising marginalized groups from being able to vote, I simply cannot see how this is a valid reason, given the requirement of Election Assisistance Commission State Programs. That along with alternate document pathways to voter registration with the Affidavit process, I don't see this being an issue.

But here are just a few issues in the news that show the integrity of our elections are in question:

1.) 👇👇👇

2.) 👇👇👇👇👇

3.) 👇👇👇👇👇

I could go on, much further with more news stories, but there are many more. Some claim there is no problem. But there obviously is a problem, with this large loophole in the process with no oversight. I will ask the question again; why don't more of our Democratic lawmakers want to close this loophole so Americans can feel that we have a fair and secure election system?

Unfortunately, even though the SAVE ACT cleared the House, I highly doubt Chuck Schumer will even let the Senate take a vote on it. Plus, Biden has already stated he will veto the bill.

I would love to hear your thoughts!

PRIME MINISTER Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer went head-to-head on Wednesday (26) in their last debate before an election next week, with both launching highly personal attacks over their and their parties’ credibility.With Sunak’s Tories trailing Labour by around 20 points in the polls, the prime minister went on the attack, accusing Starmer of not being straight with the country on migration, tax and women’s rights, and urging voters not to “surrender” to the Labour.Starmer responded that Sunak was too rich to understand the concerns of most ordinary Britons. A snap YouGov poll said the debate had been a tie, with both on 50%.

This feels like a good time to remind people of the 1981 Regan assassination attempt and the fallout was republicans turning out in droves to re-elect him as well as popularity in polls surging positively

Especially since trump is not original and all his ideas seem to be torn from Regans playbook or other global autocratic dictators

EDIT OMG AND BOLSONARO STABBED DURING HIS ELECTION CAMPAIGN IN 2018, GUESS WHAT HAPPENED W HIS TURNOUT AND RESULTS TOO?!?!

Ok it's been 24 hours and my official post-mortem is literally just "Elizabeth Warren was right: Democrats should have appointed an Attorney General who was committed to prosecuting Trump and everyone who enabled him, cleaned house of Trump's appointees, nuked the filibuster to pass DC and Puerto Rico statehood, and prioritized dealing with corruption"
