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. congress.gov/bill/119th-cong…

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.

Given our current Virginians, this isn’t funny anymore.

You have an old map.
