Got Two in the Philippines

Two American brothers have been arrested in the Philippines for links to terrorism: Philippines Arrest Two U.S. Brothers.

Michael Ray Stubbs and his brother James, a convert to Islam, have been held at an undisclosed location since they were arrested earlier this month in the town of Tanza in Cavite province, 21 miles southwest of Manila, an immigration official said on condition of anonymity.
The official said the brothers were of Middle Eastern origin but gave no other details. The authorities did not disclose the exact charges the men could face or provide details about their alleged links to terrorism.

Their hometowns were not available and the U.S. Embassy could not immediately be reached for comment. More information was expected to be released Tuesday.

Voter Fraud In Ohio - “neh, not so much”.
All of which brings you back to one central point: if you care about the integrity of elections and people actually being able to vote, the supposed cures for vote fraud are vastly more destructive than the problem. All evidence suggests that vote fraud is a minuscule, minuscule problem. Voter ID and most of the other nostrums are solutions looking for a problem. ...

My Response to Todays Speech-Standing O
Only the best of leaders dare to reduce the powers of their office or government. I applaud the effort in the strongest terms. Please support these changes with your own Congressman or Senator.
