Democrats take absolute power in Virginia and the first thing they do is introduce the “Legalize Crime”, “Steal All Future Elections”, and “Duplicate Somali Daycare Fraud” Acts.

American law enforcement leadership isn’t failing because of a lack of training, funding, or policy manuals. It’s failing because too many leaders are structurally neutered before they ever open their mouths.
An elected Sheriff derives authority from the people. That matters more than most want to admit. A Sheriff can make hard decisions, empower deputies, and defend lawful actions without constantly checking which politician, activist, or donor might be offended. Accountability exists—but it comes at the ballot box, not through a closed-door termination meeting.
A city police chief operates under an entirely different reality. Chiefs serve at the pleasure of city managers, mayors, and councils—most of whom have never worn a badge and are guided by polling, optics, and headlines. When a chief makes a decision that is legally sound, tactically correct, and morally defensible but politically inconvenient, the clock starts ticking. One narrative gets traction, and the chief becomes expendable.
That reality poisons leadership.
Instead of courage, you get compliance.
Instead of empowerment, you get control.
Instead of public safety, you get risk management designed to protect careers—not communities.
Policies aren’t written to support officers; they’re written to shield politicians. Discipline isn’t about justice; it’s about optics. And officers learn very quickly that their chief won’t back them—not because they’re wrong, but because backing them might cost the chief their job.
So Chiefs hedge. They deflect. They sacrifice credibility internally to preserve employability externally. Deputies and officers feel it. The public eventually feels it. And the profession pays the price.
This isn’t an attack on individuals—it’s an indictment of a broken governance model. You cannot demand moral courage from leaders who live under constant threat of termination for telling the truth.
Leadership without independence is theater. Authority without security is a lie. And pretending this structure doesn’t matter is how American policing keeps eating itself from the inside out.
If we actually want leaders who will stand up, speak plainly, and protect both the Constitution and their people, we need to stop pretending all law enforcement leadership is created equal.
It isn’t.
And everyone in the job already knows it.

Mike is doing it again.....🙄

S. 128, titled the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, is a Senate bill introduced on January 16, 2025, in the 119th Congress (2025–2026) by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT).
A companion bill, H.R. 22, with substantially identical provisions, was introduced in the House on January 3, 2025, by Representative Chip Roy (R-TX). H.R. 22 passed the House of Representatives on April 10, 2025, by a vote of 220–208 and was received in the Senate the same day. As of January 19, 2026, S. 128 remains referred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration with no further action taken.
The legislation amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship as a condition for registering to vote in federal elections. It shifts the current system—which relies primarily on self-attestation (checking a box affirming citizenship under penalty of perjury)—to mandatory objective verification.
Key Provisions
Acceptable Documentary Proof of Citizenship —
A REAL ID-compliant driver's license or identification card that explicitly indicates U.S. citizenship.
A valid U.S. passport.
A military ID accompanied by a record of U.S. birth.
A birth certificate, naturalization certificate, Certificate of Citizenship, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or certain Bureau of Indian Affairs/American Indian Cards.
Other government-issued photo IDs paired with supporting documents (e.g., hospital birth records or adoption decrees).
Application to All Registration Methods — The requirement applies universally, including in-person registration, mail-in applications (including the federal mail voter registration form), online registration (where offered), motor voter processes at DMVs, and registrations through public assistance or other voter registration agencies.
Alternative Processes for Those Without Standard Documents — States must establish procedures allowing applicants to submit other evidence of citizenship along with an attestation under penalty of perjury. The Election Assistance Commission is directed to develop a uniform affidavit for this purpose. States must also have processes to resolve documentation discrepancies.
State Obligations to Maintain Accurate Voter Rolls — States are required to implement ongoing programs to identify and remove non-citizens from voter rolls. This includes cross-checking against federal databases such as the DHS Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system, Social Security Administration records, state DMV data, and records of individuals excused from jury duty due to non-citizenship.
Federal Agency Cooperation — Federal agencies must provide citizenship verification data to states promptly (within 24 hours where feasible) and without fees. The Department of Homeland Security must notify states of new naturalizations and investigate evidence of non-citizen voting for potential removal proceedings.
Enforcement Mechanisms — The bill creates a private right of action, allowing U.S. citizens to sue election officials who register applicants without required proof of citizenship. It also strengthens criminal penalties for knowingly registering non-citizens or assisting them in registering or voting.
The core objective of the SAVE Act is to ensure that only U.S. citizens are registered to vote in federal elections by mandating verifiable evidence of citizenship at the point of registration, while providing limited alternatives to avoid disenfranchising eligible voters who lack immediate access to standard documents.
