Near lifelong resident of Bedford County. Will comment on the issues of the day in, hopefully a cogent and certainly an honest manner. Will propose discussions not usually fully addressed in the mainstream media.

Voting

Given that naturalized citizens are required to demonstrate they can read, write, speak and understand spoken English, why are ballots in other languages made available? Seem such ballots are required by the Voting Rights Act. Why?

Puerto Ricans are US citizens. Several cannot either read or speak English. If a person living in Puerto Rico moves to the US mainland, they can register to vote in any state. I remind you that Puerto Ricans served and died in every conflict from WWI to today.

A better question is why CDLs are given to people who can't speak English.

80,000 pound vehicle going 70mph controlled by someone who can't read the road signs?

With apologies to Biden, come on man.

When we go Common Law worldwide, everyone will be a sovereign and not subject to any man made laws. What are you gonna do then?

Karl, c'mon man. What is so bad about explaining covid "injections" to sui when he brings it up, so to speak? That picture you registered with the T-G, along with your name, appears to show fairly thick skin. Apparently another example of fake news.

Every country in the world will be under Common Law next year. That simply means any one in the world will be able to come into our Great Country and do anything they want to without any license or permit. Even the American people will not need licenses any more, unless you get the covid-19 Vaccine that has the chip in it. Who are gonna be the lucky ones who get the vaccine? "What'cha gonna do when they come for you?"
