The Situation: President Biden’s speech in Georgia on the filibuster and the Democrats’ voting-rights invoice.
President Biden is deceptive the American public by saying opposition to his voting-rights payments is denying the vote for minorities (“Joe’s Newest Pack of Lies,” Editorial, Jan. 12). That's completely incorrect.
For instance, his invoice would stop the usage of picture voter identification.
Folks want ID to get a driver’s license, take books out of the library or go to the physician. Eighty p.c of the American public believes voter ID is critical for trustworthy elections.

This ridiculous notion that voting reforms are segregationist, racist and all-around anti-American is laughable.
Voting reform permits for nice voter participation, integrity and safety within the voting course of. This endless demonization of those that help voting reforms is so polarizing and intellectually dishonest.
Biden is just not the good unifier he marvels himself to be. Including extra gasoline to the hearth is his selective reminiscence on the subject of the filibuster. He has used the filibuster to his benefit.
Take a look at how the president makes use of emotional and psychological blackmail to amp up his speaking factors. Persons are afraid to name him out as a result of doing so may have you branded a racist.

Kudos to The Submit for its latest editorial.
Biden’s look in Georgia supporting the clearly unconstitutional federalizing of state and native elections got here throughout as shameless.
The progressive wing of the Democratic Occasion seeks to mandate common mail-in balloting in all 50 states, and to bar particular person states from passing sure voter-ID legal guidelines, calling such legal guidelines a type of voter suppression.
Asking out loud in Georgia whether or not we're on the facet of Martin Luther King Jr. or George Wallace is pure political banter and a seemingly unfavorable ploy to gin up the Democratic vote within the midterms by the usage of worry.

Do you suppose for a minute the modifications to federal voting legal guidelines the Democrats need will result in fairer and fewer fraudulent elections? Don’t wager on it.
Rising mail-in balloting, no photo-ID necessities and no signature verification will all assist Democrats.
The gall of Biden to say state voting necessities are equal to Jim Crow 2.0 is past hypocritical.
Do not forget that Biden bragged that he had been praised by George Wallace, and he delivered a eulogy at Robert Byrd’s funeral.
Voting “reform” is only a blatant energy seize by Democrats, petrified of a purple wave within the midterms.

Since when is it Jim Crow to ask for picture voter ID?
As much as about three years in the past, I had been a lifelong Democrat. My motto was once, “I'd slightly combat than change.” However not anymore.
My present motto is: “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore.” Because of this, I'm now a proud, card-carrying Republican who now not acknowledges the Democratic Occasion.
And in response to the brand new left-wing radical ideology, you're a racist, a terrorist and a white supremacist if you don't agree with the Marxist agenda of Democrats.
The American individuals are not shopping for in. And that's the reason states are going purple.

I can’t decide up a package deal at Greatest Purchase until I present my ID. I can’t drive a automobile with out an ID. So why ought to I have the ability to vote with out an ID? It’s simply stupidity.
Biden wastes his political capital on issues that aren't cheap.
Sensible Democrats understand that in the future they aren't going to be in energy, and they're going to want the filibuster to guard towards laws they don’t like.
The one method you accomplish something on this nation is thru compromise, and that's what the filibuster calls for.
Progressives, who're the trendy Democratic Occasion, are too silly to comprehend that.
