You didn’t care when Biden did it. They aren’t being muzzled, they just lost access to the press room as a penalty for lying.

As an Astronomy hobbiest, we have terrible light pollution.
I have learned from experience, that most urban dwellers rarely, if ever, can see a star. Most have never seen the Milky Way.
The US has only a few areas with truly dark skies left.
In fact “Telescope” Ranching has become a growing industry in dark areas. One can rent a few square feet of space in a building with a roll off roof and power and an internet connection to set up and remotely control your telescope. starfront.space/

Many forms of documentation of citizenship are accepted in the bill. It is as easy as can be. Let’s be honest, you don’t want people to have to prove citizenship because you want illegals voting and to cheat. It is that simple. There is no other explanation.

The basic RealID alone is sufficient to vote, but not to register to vote, if it doesn’t indicate citizenship. You need some other documentation of citizenship, of which there are many. If you don’t have one of those, there is a process for attesting (under oath) that you are a citizen.

Good point. However, we don’t have a good clear number of the total in the country. How would we estimate the total? That is why we need another census and the ability to determine who is here. Where I live, we went from non-Americans being unusual to everywhere in a few years. Whole industries, Construction being a good example, have been taken over. My Granddaughter’s elementary school class was more than half from families that came in illegally.

Proof of citizenship, in some form, is required to register. A Driver’s License is one of several forms of ID sufficient to vote.

36 years of experience can tell you what to look at and how to understand what is happening. If what you say was true, we would be seeing substantial inflation. We are not seeing that. In fact, the trend is down. The tariff money is not being added to imported goods sold.

Pretti looks like a deranged nut. He started this interaction and committed multiple felonies. They should have arrested him then. He would still be alive. He is also carrying a gun in that interaction. It might be why his rib was broken. He is wearing it right up against his ribs and falling on it could do it.
Alex Pretti doing everything on camera except "legal observing."
Aggravated assault, obstructing, destruction of government property, vandalism, battery, etc.
Not doing a lot of "ICU Nursing" in these videos, either.

He had a legal permit, but chose to leave it at home. Any person with concealed carry experience should know not to go into that sort of situation. Concealed Carry is illegal at political protests in Minnesota.
Community note
This is pure AI-slop. Minnesotan gun law does not have any restrictions in their carry laws for "political protests".

Having a weapon is not a crime, though in Minnesota, it is illegal (probably unconstitutional) to have one at a political protest.
His mistake was violently engaging with officers. Once that happens, with a weapon present, even if he does not present it, there is a strong possibility of a mistake happening. It is very reasonable for the officers to be afraid for their lives.

Nonsense. They are specifically trained to do that. Most handgun rounds will not reliably penetrate windshields. Police ammunition is tested to make sure that it will penetrate windshields.
In this case, it seems, the officer very reasonably thought the woman was trying to kill him. He was struck by the vehicle as he moved to get out of the way, firing, all at the same time. The first bullet went through the windshield. She may have been trying to flee, but the officer’s perception is what matters.

I am not sure what evidence you are looking at. The officer was struck by the vehicle and injured. One bullet, presumably the first, went through the front windshield. I think it likely was her intent was to flee, but she accelerated hard, tires spinning (on video), toward the officer. I think it very reasonable that he interpreted it as a lethal force attack.

Wheels spinning, she was moving toward, and struck, the officer. Her intent may have been to flee, but she may be reasonably viewed as attempting to kill the officer. The first, at least, bullet was fired through the front windshield. That bullet, at least, was clear self-defense.

New York issued a Commercial Driver’s License to “No Name Given.” What a bunch of incompetent yahoos.

In this, in focus, frame, it is clear his finger is not on the trigger. However, his weapon appears to be aimed at a threat. At that time, the normal, correct, protocol is to place one’s finger on the trigger.

May I take it that you think it is appropriate for the Press to roam freely in the Pentagon, while not wearing badges, and they should be able to solicit or coerce criminal access to Classified information? Really? Congratulations! You have successfully chosen the 20% side of another issue!

Really? This doesn’t seem too difficult, unless you are really focused on the whole “Enemy of the People” part of your job.

Christian charity s an individual, personal act. Confiscation of wealth by Government force and redistribution is not Christian.

Obama and Biden both famously purged the military of conservative members, officers and enlisted. DEI and “Wokism” were aggressively pursued.
Winning wars is the ONLY legitimate criteria for evaluating a military, and merit toward that goal is the only standard for officers and troops. Trump, et al, are putting the US military back on that path.

People are seeing this diagonal line as the top right upper corner of a ballistic plate vest. It might be. Maybe. It takes a very high end plate to stop a .30-06.
