Saint Croix said...: Why do you have to show ID to walk into the Obama library?

It's bizarre how (some) Democrats object to showing ID to vote, which is important. What's so vital in a library that all visitors need to be identified, and some need to be rejected?

I've never had to show ID to walk into a library, anywhere.

You look like a Star Wars battleship, sure. Why do you act like one? How is it that the security of your library is more important than the security of our right to vote?; 6/20/26, 1:14 PM

Because both things (security of the library and insecurity of voting) benefit Democrats.; 6/20/26, 1:30 PM

Alleged Leader of UFC Terror Plot Is an Illegal Immigrant Granted ‘Dreamer’ Status Under Obama

"The man accused of coordinating a failed scheme to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House over the weekend is an illegal immigrant from Mexico who was granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) under the Obama administration, Department of Homeland Security officials said Thursday.

FBI agents arrested Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez in Omaha, Neb., on Sunday for his alleged connection with a plan to attack the recent UFC event on the south lawn of the White House, which was attended by numerous government officials and others. Alvarez is believed to be the ringleader of the group that planned the attack, according to officials, while four other co-conspirators were also arrested over the weekend in Ohio, Missouri, and California.

The FBI alleges Alvarez was responsible for organizing the thwarted attack, which involved a multi-part plan to target buildings near the event with explosive-laden drones in an attempt to force a mass evacuation that would send crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team. The would-be attackers then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate."
