My position has always been that no voter ID requirement should be imposed on citizens who are already registered.

Then how do we know the person coming in to vote is the actual person without an ID?

I think this is the chart you meant to show. It shows total debt owed by the US year by year.

Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotion of four highly qualified Army officers to one-star general and two of them are Black and two of them women. Senior military officials are now openly questioning whether race and gender are the real reasons.

The officers were on a standard promotion list of about three dozen mostly white men. Hegseth had been pressuring Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll for months to remove their names, citing vague concerns. Driscoll repeatedly refused, pointing to their decades of exemplary service. Hegseth finally overruled him and unilaterally struck the four names from the list.

This comes after reports that a top Hegseth aide told Driscoll that “President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events” – specifically objecting to Maj. Gen. Antoinette R. Gant, a combat engineer who has served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, being given command of the Military District of Washington.

Par for the course. No great surprise. That, is at the core of the entire maga movement.

THe last part of Es post is crap. Trump is happy to hang with minorities.

What Hegseth has done and is doing is getting rid of the DEI crap and promoting based on merit.

That is in the USAs best interest.

O and Biden had people in charge of the military that were promoting people based on shall we say quotas or DEI.

Hegseth and the military today will promote anyone if they are qualified (black, white, women, gays, etc). And that is the way it should be.
