During the early run of the Babylon 5 television series there was a war between two of the major powers. The Narn and the Centauri. Old rivals for sure with a long backstory and history between them.
As the war breaks out, both sides are trying to get Earth involved on one side or the other. At some point during this Commander Jeffery Sinclair, the Earth Ambassador and commander of the Babylon 5 station is in a conversation with the Vorlon Ambassador, Kosh. This is the exchange:
Kosh: “They are alone. They are a dying people. We should let them pass.”
Cmdr Jeffery Sinclair: “Who, the Narn or the Centauri?”
Kosh: “Yes.”
Reflecting on this I see it can be applied to today’s real word just as easily. With a few changes to the players it would read as this:
The USA: “They are alone. They are a dying people. We should let them pass.”
Europe: “Who, the Ukrainians or the Russians?”
The USA: “Yes.”

With the official election just around the corner thoughts and concerns about the integrity of our elections abound. There have already been reported instances of fraud in the ongoing early voting period. How many of these instances are there and how many have yet to be discovered.
From non-citizens voting and other ineligible persons to down right fraudulent ballots being accepted and tabulated without verification. These issues should concern everyone no matter what political party they may or may not be affiliated with on the voter rolls.
We can have election integrity again. But first the 2024 election must be without any of the irregularities that plagued the 2020 election. To gain election integrity the following must be done:
- Voter ID must be in all 50 states and all US territories.
- No ballot should be tabulated prior to election day.
- All early and absentee ballots must be authenticated.
- All ballots must be tabulated within 24 hours of the polls closing. We have the technology to do this. It shouldn’t take weeks.
- All mail-in ballots must be postmarked and they must be received by election day before the polls close. No exceptions to this rule.
- All vote tabulating machine software code must be open sourced and reviewable on demand at anytime.
- In the absence of any block-chain voting software, any tabulating machine must not be connected to the internet while the polls are open and the votes are being tabulated.
- All ballots counted must be observed by independent observers.
And lastly to further insure election integrity the voter rolls themselves must be regularly scrubbed to insure only legitimate voters are registered.

Biden is high on drugs. You can tell just looking at him.
I’m glad the moderators are cutting mics when the time is up. I applaud that and love it.
Biden hasn’t spoken the truth at all in this. So many things that are just made up. I’m sure Biden believes them but the man has dementia or something and isn’t in touch with reality.
Trump won this one hands down.
And for the record. I am against “American Democracy” and any other form of Democracy.
I am also for sun-setting Medicare/Medicade, Social Security. These are very Socialist institutions and not the responsibility of the Government
