"𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐔𝐌𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐒 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐓𝐔𝐒 𝟔-𝟑 𝐔𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐒 𝐃𝐎𝐆𝐄'𝐒 𝐕𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐑-𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐋 𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐄—𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐈𝐓 '𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍-𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆'The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Friday that the Trump administration can keep using the revamped SAVE database to check voter rolls for noncitizens ahead of the midterms. Sen. Chuck Schumer's response wasn't relief that illegal votes get caught — it was panic that the tool works.
“𝘌𝘭𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘬'𝘴 𝘋𝘖𝘎𝘌-𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳𝘴.

Here's what Schumer left out: DOGE spent two weeks in early 2025 cleaning up SAVE — a database that exists for one job, confirming citizenship. Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented; six other justices, across the ideological spectrum of the current Court, didn't see the constitutional crisis Schumer is describing.
Former Arizona election chief Stephen Richer, a Republican, called SAVE a "𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧'𝐬 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐬" when used responsibly. Even the left-leaning Center for Election Innovation and Research's David Becker admitted it's a useful tool — it's voluntary for states to use, not a purge machine.
A database that only flags noncitizens should only worry the people counting on noncitizens to vote.

The Trump administration (second term, beginning January 2025) and the Supreme Court have taken multiple actions framed as protecting election integrity, primarily focused on citizenship verification, limiting noncitizen voting, tightening mail ballot processes, and related enforcement. Many face ongoing litigation, with mixed court outcomes. Key developments as of late September 2026 include the following.
Trump Administration Actions
Executive Order 14248 (March 25, 2025) — “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections”:Directed the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship on the national mail voter registration form; expanded state access to federal databases for verifying citizenship/immigration status of registrants; instructed agencies to compare state voter rolls against immigration records; prioritized enforcement against noncitizens registering or voting; and sought to enforce federal law requiring ballots received by Election Day (limiting post-Election Day acceptance of mail/absentee ballots in some contexts).
Significant portions were blocked by federal courts (e.g., permanent injunction on the proof-of-citizenship form requirement; challenges in cases such as LULAC v. Executive Office of the President, California v. Trump, and others).
Executive Order 14399 (March 31, 2026) — “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections”:
Directed DHS (via USCIS) and the Social Security Administration to compile and transmit “State Citizenship Lists” of confirmed adult U.S. citizens (drawn from federal records) to state election officials at least 60 days before federal elections; prioritized investigations and prosecutions related to election fraud and noncitizen voting; and ordered the U.S. Postal Service to initiate rulemaking on mail/absentee ballot handling, including standards tied to eligibility verification.
USPS published a final rule in August 2026 implementing aspects of this (e.g., requirements related to ballot delivery). Parts of the EO and rule have been enjoined or limited by lower courts; litigation continues.
Other enforcement and operational steps:
- Department of Justice (DOJ) demanded detailed voter registration lists from numerous states (and sued some for compliance), citing National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), Help America Vote Act, and related authorities; multiple courts rejected or limited these demands.
- DHS modified the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system to facilitate bulk or individualized citizenship checks of voter rolls and conditioned certain homeland security grants on states using SAVE or related verification.
- Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) initially scaled back election security support, then issued a midterms-focused plan (“Securing the Next 250”) in September 2026 offering voluntary services such as vulnerability scanning and penetration testing.
- Additional steps included FBI seizure of 2020 election materials in Fulton County, Georgia; warnings to states about potential noncitizens on rolls; and removal of EAC commissioners (leaving the agency without a quorum at points).
Supreme Court Actions
September 25, 2026: The Court (in an unsigned emergency order, with liberal justices dissenting) stayed a lower-court injunction, clearing the way for the Trump administration’s modified SAVE system to be used for voter citizenship verification. It emphasized the federal government’s role in responding to state requests and noted limitations on mass purges close to Election Day under the NVRA’s 90-day quiet period (which began in early August 2026 for the November midterms). Impact on the immediate election is expected to be limited to individualized checks.September 14, 2026: The Court denied the administration’s request to stay a lower-court injunction blocking key parts of the USPS mail-ballot rule tied to EO 14399, leaving the rule largely blocked for the midterms.
June 29, 2026 (Watson v. Republican National Committee): The Court upheld state practices allowing acceptance of mail ballots postmarked by Election Day but arriving afterward (rejecting a Republican-led challenge).
April 29, 2026 (Louisiana v. Callais): In a 6-3 decision, the Court narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, holding that Louisiana’s creation of an additional majority-Black congressional district constituted an unconstitutional racial gerrymander (because the VRA did not require it). This affects redistricting standards and has influenced map-drawing in other states.
Other relevant rulings include upholding broad birthright citizenship (rejecting a Trump executive order limiting it) and various redistricting and campaign-finance decisions that reshaped the electoral landscape.
In summary, the administration has prioritized citizenship verification, database access, enforcement against alleged noncitizen voting, and tighter mail-ballot rules via executive orders and agency actions. SCOTUS has enabled the SAVE verification tool while blocking or limiting certain mail-ballot restrictions and significantly altering Voting Rights Act redistricting standards. Many administration initiatives remain contested in lower courts, with the November 2026 midterms serving as a practical test of the resulting framework.
lol, that's all you got, are weak, lame and NON-CREDIBLE and Indefensible FLAWED arguments that are USELESS on this Thread without any credible substance...
Spoiler Alert: YOU WILL NOT SEE YOUR FALSE PROPHECY in NOVEMBER!!!
Prove me wrong... I'll Wait...
It doesn't matter where we import it from; because the market is mostly global- even when Russian oil is sanctioned, they still manage to get it into the global market through India or whoever.... so, regardless, a drop in Russias production capacity means a drop in global capacity, which means increased costs no matter where it comes from.
You should really look in to turning away from walking with the devil and get right with the Lord Jesus.
Your time is quickly running out.
You'll have to wait until election results come in.
If the repubs don't win in a massive landslide then this will prove you are a false prophet, someone who does not hear from the Lord but claims they do.
I'm not giving prophetic words. I just find it unlikely that the repubs will retain control of the House and may also lose control of the senate which is what happened frequently to all parties that hold the Whitehouse in their president's second term especially.
Yeah, yeah, yeah we know. Anybody that does not agree with you is going to hell Blah, blah, blah
Yeah that's market stuff. It's suspect though that Trump is telling Ukraine to take it easy on Russia
Trump had the right idea to stop Iran's nuclear capabilities but his effort has been mismanaged causing things to go badly and he cannot control the results of his actions anymore. He's not the brightest bulb in the box.
Every human will live for eternity.
Some will spend eternity with the Lord, others will spend eternity being tormented in hell with the devil.
Those following the devil will get the devil's judgement, so be advised walking in darkness ends very badly.
lol, the more you SPOUT OFF the more we LEARN about your true colors...
lol, I've been too kind as a Genuine Christian and Patriot... Always giving people/you the benefit of the Doubt as a fellow Christian...
But it seems that you are NOT REALLY even a decent Christian or even a Christian at all; albeit here are your DOCUMENTED TRENDS that you have shown us all here...
- You fail to address the THESIS of this THREAD...
- You fail to address what your sources of INFORMATION are...
- You failed to state own up to you response or opinion on the Questionnaire at the top of this Thread...
- You PERSIST to PUSH the NOVEMBER elections DATE as beginning of your False Doomsday Prophecy... which is a VIOLATION of the BIBLE that you PROCLAIM is the complete basis of your False Prophecy - that has zero basis in real world current events...
- You PERSIST and Attacking your Fellow Christians as evil or demons or any other childish terms that come to your scared mind...
- YOU PERSIST in USING Fallacies of Logic on a THREAD that is based upon REAL WORLD FACTS, EVIDENCE, DATA and HAPPENINGS...
- lol, that like bringing a Knife to a Gunfight... lol, you are COMPLETELY OUTMATCHED but the PLANK in your own EYE to too big for you to SEE your OWN Faults and limitations...
- lol, you are PERSISTENT in your use of FEAR as your tactic with your very UN-CHRISTIAN word choices with your fellow Christians..
- As a Bible Thumber - you don't even acknowledge the History of Warrior's of God in the Bible; nor the reality of Modern Day Warriors of God who are genuinely and earnestly putting on their Full Armor of God every day in this Biblical War with Evil...
- lol, and you PERSIST to MISREPRESENT (LIE) the FACT that I repeatedly have told you that I'm NOT here to TELL you WHAT to believe or HOW to THINK, but you persist to WRONGFULLY State that I'm here to Make People Believe everything that I post here...
- lol, quite the contrary... I welcome discussions and debates in this type of INFORMATION WARARE... lol, I was actually wrong about something twice last year... hahaha
lol, it's always a challenge to discern who's using mis-information or dis-information... knowingly or unknowingly...- etc, etc..
So putting on my Analyst Hat along with my Information Warfare expertise Hat... the deduction leaves us with only a handful of plausible explanations - Given that we are in the MIDST of an EPIC BIBLICAL WAR with EVIL...
- No fault of your own - my hope is that you have simply been DOOPED via your sources of FAKE NEWS...
It's completely understandable - as we know that the DS's MIND VIRUS has infected many of our Family and Friends as well..
- Alternatively, you are an actual DS Plant brought here to use the very same tactics that we know that they are famous for...
lol, because all you seem to do is use your Fallacies of Logic to Deceive, Deflect, Dissuade, use Decoys, and attempt to Destroy those who have differing and more Christian or more Factual based perspectives that are counter to the DS Talking Points..
- Alternatively and additionally, you are simply a TROLL who has very recently JOINED this FORUM to TROLL HIS FALSE PROPHECY across this Christian Forum with the SELFISH Intention NOT to HELP your FELLOW CHRISTIANS, but to Damn them all the Hell...
- lol, that's NOT VERY CHRISTIAN of you!!!
False prophets (people claiming divine or special insight into the future or God’s will while delivering unreliable or self-serving messages) commonly rely on flawed reasoning and classic logical fallacies. These tactics appear across religious, cultic, and secular “prophetic” claims. The patterns are well-documented in psychology, critical thinking literature, and biblical critiques.
Core Techniques and Associated Fallacies
These methods make predictions hard to falsify while creating an illusion of accuracy or authority:- Vague or generalized statements (Barnum/Forer effect, pigeonhole principle): Broad claims that feel personal (“Someone close to you will test your patience,” “A financial decision will matter soon”) fit almost any outcome. Followers supply the specific meaning. This exploits confirmation bias—people notice hits and ignore misses.
- Postdiction (retrofitting): Events are “predicted” after they occur, or ambiguous earlier statements are reinterpreted as accurate. Historical examples include certain biblical texts composed or edited with knowledge of later events, and modern claims that reframe failures. This is a form of hindsight bias and moving the goalposts.
- Shotgun / multiple predictions: Issue many forecasts; celebrate the few that roughly match chance. Failures are downplayed, reinterpreted, or blamed on the audience’s lack of faith. This is statistical exploitation rather than insight, combined with selective reporting.
- Unfalsifiable or non-specific claims: Avoid dates, names, or clear conditions. Cryptic language (Nostradamus-style) allows endless reinterpretation. When a specific prediction fails, the response is often “It was spiritual / delayed / conditional,” which is special pleading or ad hoc rationalization.
- Appeal to authority / divine mandate: “God told me” or “I speak for the Lord” is treated as self-authenticating. This is an argument from authority (often irrelevant or circular) and sometimes the divine command variant of claiming privileged access to a higher power’s will. Related is the a priori / dogmatism approach: start from the conclusion (“I am a true prophet”) and search for supporting arguments.
- Fearmongering and emotional appeals: Threats of judgment, disaster, or spiritual loss if the message is rejected. This is appeal to fear / force, appeal to pity, or emotional manipulation rather than evidence. It also fosters dependency.
- Confirmation bias and group dynamics: Encourage followers to seek confirming signs while dismissing counter-evidence. Peer pressure, altered states (music, prolonged meetings, exhaustion), and staged “miracles” lower critical thinking. When predictions fail, cognitive dissonance leads believers to double down rather than abandon the claim.
- Other frequent fallacies:
- Begging the question / circular reasoning: The prophecy is true because the prophet is true; the prophet is true because of the prophecy.
- Straw man / red herring: Attack critics’ motives or character instead of addressing failed predictions; shift to unrelated issues.
- False dilemma: “Either accept this word or reject God.”
- Hasty generalization: A few apparent “hits” prove overall prophetic gift.
- Appeal to ignorance: “You can’t prove it didn’t come from God.”
- Ad hominem against doubters; bandwagon (“Many people believe…”).
Biblical and Traditional Criteria for Evaluation
Scriptural texts (especially Deuteronomy 13 and 18, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Matthew 7) provide tests that highlight the same weaknesses:- Accuracy: A true prophet’s words come to pass (Deut. 18:21–22). Persistent failure marks a false one.
- Consistency with prior revelation and moral fruit: Messages that contradict established teaching or produce unrighteous behavior are rejected, even if accompanied by signs (Deut. 13; Matt. 7:15–20—“by their fruits”).
- Source and character: Claims originating in the speaker’s own mind, dreams, or desire for popularity/acclaim, rather than a genuine commission, are condemned (Jer. 23; Ezek. 13). False prophets often promised peace when judgment was due, flattered audiences, or sought financial/status gain.
Why they believe that their Fallacies Work
They exploit ordinary cognitive biases: pattern-seeking, agency detection, desire for certainty and control, social proof, and reluctance to admit error. Vague language + selective memory + community reinforcement create durable belief systems even after repeated disconfirmation. The same toolkit appears in secular fortune-telling, conspiracy prophecy, and some political or self-help “visionary” claims.Critical evaluation requires demanding specific, testable, time-bound predictions; tracking the full record of hits and misses; checking consistency with evidence and character; and refusing unfalsifiable reinterpretations. Appeals to private revelation or “you just need more faith” are not substitutes for those standards.
Here's another gauge...
This is rich because his is the CNN Pollster (being covered by Newsmax)...
He's basically saying that MAGA is ABSOLUTELY motivated to VOTE in November...
and We KNOW that they are NOT INCLINED to FLIPPING their VOTES to the D-party EVER AGAIN!!! They (we) KNOW TOO MUCH!!!
Rather, while this POLL only covers likely TURNOUT...
The trend ever since Charlie Kirk's assassination, along with the ongoing D-Party DIVISION, suggests that more and more D's are FLIPPING!!!

Libs FREAK As Bill Maher TURNS on Democrats, Embraces ‘Badass’ Trump…Praises Trump’s Success LIVE
On Friday’s Real Time, Bill Maher argued that the recent decline in crime has multiple causes — including surveillance technology and Democratic expansions of the social safety net — but he also gave President Trump some credit. Maher called Trump a “badass” and said it was “childish” to pretend that electing a tough, “f--- around and find out” president would have no effect on crime, adding: “I think the bad guys got the message.”
Maher also credited Trump-era policies such as closing the border, deporting gang members, and disrupting drug supplies with contributing to lower drug deaths. But he explicitly shared credit with Democrats, particularly the Biden administration’s work expanding access to Narcan.
Jack Smith's Grilling in the Senate today - will serve to WAKE MORE and MORE People up to the LAWFARE akin to the GREAT AWAKENING from the Fauci Testimonies!!!
"Senator Josh Hawley Just GRILLED Jack Smith for Illegally Obtaining 44 Members of Congress' Text Messages "
Former special counsel Jack Smith is set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning. According to CNN, his prepared remarks say “𝘪𝘧 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘰 𝘴𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘵.”
But he walks in with a cloud over him. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan has sent the Justice Department a criminal referral accusing Smith of making false statements to Congress in his December testimony. A House Republican put it bluntly on CNN: “𝘏𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘢𝘵𝘩, 𝘴𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.”
The dispute, as reported by ABC News and Fox News: Smith told lawmakers he did not seek a search warrant for the content of members of Congress’s text messages.

The U.S. may soon receive $600 million worth of Iranian oil that was seized earlier in the war, putting an ancient body of maritime law back in focus..
Three oil tankers linked to Iran have been gradually making their way toward the U.S. after being seized by naval forces when President Donald Trump first imposed a blockade on the regime.
The Tifani and Majestic X are now off the coast of Brazil after they were boarded in the Indian Ocean in April, according to Bloomberg. A third ship, known as the Lenore as well as the Davina, just cleared the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa and is headed west into the Atlantic after being interdicted in the Indian Ocean in June.
All three tankers are very large crude carriers, which can each hold 2 million barrels of crude. Brent futures are currently trading at about $106 per barrel.
“Nearly six million barrels (valued at nearly $600M) of seized Iranian crude oil are quietly crossing the Atlantic Ocean towards the United States of America,” Tanker Trackers posted on X on Wednesday.
The U.S. initiated its naval blockade in April, targeting ships attempting to enter or leave Iranian ports. It also applied to Iran-linked vessels anywhere in the world, including the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
After a brief ceasefire lifted the blockade over the summer, Trump reimposed it weeks later as he pivot toward economic warfare and away from bombs.
Meanwhile, the legal channel the administration is using to seize the tankers and enforce forfeiture is known as prize law and has its roots in the Middle Ages.
Unlike civil seizure laws that require the U.S. government to identify a statutory violation and establish jurisdiction, prize law doesn’t require a captor to have a warrant or tie a vessel’s seizure to a violation of an existing statute.
Rather than law enforcement authorities like the Coast Guard having to seize a vessel under civil seizure laws, the Defense Department can seize an enemy vessel instead.
In the U.S., prize law appears in the Constitution, which outlines rules for capturing and confiscating enemy vessels during times of war in its Captures Clause. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln used the Prize Act of 1812 to blockade Confederate seaports. That law was most recently invoked during the Spanish-American War.
If the tankers carrying the Iranian oil do end up at a U.S. port, it would likely be along the Texas coast, which is home to top refiners and the Houston-based U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas.
The office, headed by Aaron Reitz, told Bloomberg it’s ready to represent the U.S. “in adjudicating prizes” brought to Texas through federal courts.
In a statement last month to Fortune’s Sasha Rogelberg, Reitz did not specify if the Justice Department will invoke the Prize Act of 1812, the Captures Clause, or another law.
“Our national security interests may require the United States military to seize vessels or cargo supporting the enemy during military conflict. If that happens, our federal courts must be ready to adjudicate the disposition of these captured vessels and cargo,” he said. “Prize law is an ancient body of maritime law—already codified in statute but which we are now reviving—that sets the rules for how seized maritime property is condemned, returned, or disposed of.”"

It is my contention that it is the duty and responsibility of every Christian to vote and to vote for leaders who promote Christian principles. God is most certainly in control, but that does not mean we should do nothing to further His will. We are commanded to pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-4). In terms of politics and leadership, there is evidence in Scripture that God has been displeased with our choices of leadership at times (Hosea 8:4). The evidence of sin’s grip on this world is everywhere. Much of the suffering on earth is because of godless leadership (Proverbs 28:12). Scripture gives Christians instructions to obey legitimate authority unless it contradicts the Lord’s commands (Acts 5:27-29; Romans 13:1-7). As born-again believers, we ought to strive to choose leaders who will be themselves led by our Creator (1 Samuel 12:13-25). Candidates or proposals that violate the Bible’s commands for life, family, marriage, or faith should never be supported (Proverbs 14:34). Christians should vote as led through prayer and study of both God’s Word and the realities of the choices on the ballot.Christians in many countries in this world are oppressed and persecuted. They suffer under governments that they are powerless to change and governments that hate their faith and silence their voices. These believers preach the gospel of Jesus Christ at the risk of their own lives. In the U.S.A., Christians have been blessed with the right to speak about and choose their leaders without fearing for themselves or their families. In the U.S.A., in recent elections, about 2 of every 5 of self-professed Christians took that right for granted and did not vote. About 1 in 5 self-professed, eligible Christians are not even registered to vote.
In our day and age, there are many who want to drive the name and message of Christ completely out of the public arena. Voting is an opportunity to promote, protect, and preserve godly government. Passing up that opportunity means letting those who would denigrate the name of Christ have their way in our lives. The leaders we elect—or do nothing to remove—have great influence on our freedoms. They can choose to protect our first amendment right to religious freedom and the right to spread the gospel, or they can restrict those rights. They can lead our nation toward righteousness or toward moral disaster. As Christians, we should stand up and follow our command to fulfill our civic duties (Matthew 22:21).

Bump
Rubio with Hannity regarding the transition in Venezuela:
"Two things are happening in Venezuela. First, its economy needs to continue recovering, because the people of Venezuela have suffered immensely. Bear in mind, we are talking about 25 or 30 years of corruption and embezzlement. But the other thing that must happen—and on which we are truly focused—is a democratic transition. They need to hold free and fair elections in that country. We are working very hard with the 2015 National Assembly to put in place the necessary conditions for free and fair elections as soon as possible. And then, Venezuela will truly experience the turnaround it deserves."
