Sandra,

All you have to do to beccome a citizen of the U.S. is to be an (unaborted) unborn baby, be smuggled into the country in your mother's womb, and be born.

I am reproducing below my post from February 26, 2021.

US citizenship test for immigrants.

My grandfather Vito Sparacio teased me when I was a boy about the fact that he had to pass a test to become a citizen, and all I had to do was to be born.

During the Trump administration, some idiot decided to remove any citizenship test questions referring to the first amendment to the Constitution. Huh?? Freedom of the press? Freedom of religion?

I became curious.

There is a pool of 128 multiple choice questions, and they are available to the public with answers. The test consists of up to 20 questions drawn from the pool. You only have to be correct on 12 of them. (I guess they stop as soon as you answer 12 correctly.) So, 60 is a passing score on a set of questions, the answers to to which are readily available in a list online.

All 128 potential questions with answers: https://civicsquestions.com/new-citizenship-test/

Oh and if you are 65 or older and have been a legal resident for 20 years, you only need to be correct on 6 of 20 fill-in-the-blank questions. Here is one, with acceptable answers.

George Washington is famous for many things. Name one.
- “Father of Our Country”
- First president of the United States
- General of the Continental Army
- President of the Constitutional Convention

I suspect that the Biden administration will add "Slave holder" and either delete "Father of Our Country" or change it to "Parent of Our Country".

There is a reading test also. You have to be able to read one out of three sentences correctly. They give you almost all the words that will be in the sentences, and you can't be failed because of your accent, which obviously gives a lot of latitude to the person giving the test. Here are some sample sentences:

Sample Reading Sentences:

Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves.
Alaska is the largest U.S. state.
Citizens can vote.
George Washington was the first president.
Lincoln was the President during the Civil War.
The President lives in the White House.
The President of the United States is elected by the people.
The White House is in Washington D.C.
There are 100 senators in the US Senate.
Washington is on the dollar bill.
Washington is the father of our Nation.

I suspect that the Biden administration will add these:

Donald Trump is evil.
Anyone who voted for Donald Trump should be disenfranchised.
All conservatives and Republicans are bad people who deserve to be ostracized from society.

They might have to find synonyms for disenfranchised and ostracized.

The reading test with vocabulary: https://civicsquestions.com/reading/

I had always thought that the typical naturalized citizen improved the U.S. gene pool. Now I think they can be even stupider than the average native-born American. But since most will become Democrats, at least they will raise the average IQ of Democrats! (That's a version of an old Aggie joke that I couldn't resist!)

TAKE A SAMPLE TEST

The Washington Times published a set of questions so you can test yourself. (And remember that the article was written last year.) https://www.washingtontimes.com/quiz/2015/feb/19/us-citizenship-test-part-two/

By the way, I got the last laugh on my grandfather. As I have mentioned, I am also a dual citizen with Italy because Grandpa Vito was still an Italian citizen when my mother was born. So, she was an Italian citizen when she was born, so I was an Italian citizen when I was born. So all I had to do to become an Italian citizen was to be born!

As Warren Beatty said in Bonnie and Clyde, "Ain't life a grin?"

Hey David,

Cheer up! If you are smuggled into the country in someone's womb and are then born a citizen, it takes 18 years from that day to be eligible to vote. That is 18 years the church, state, county or city has to brainwash you into joining a political party! Plenty of time to garner conservative supporters!

Sandra,

It is the intention of the Democrat Party to fast track all of these newly admitted illegals to be given the right to vote. Exactly how they manage to do that is not known just yet, but will be in short order, and as we have seen from this current administration, breaking US law is no big deal to them. Biden has done just that by not securing our southern border, as he is suppose to do, and as he took an oath to do on inauguration day. The people being admitted lately are people who ARE NOT IN NEED OF AMNESTY, but are just people who want to get a piece of the pie in America. And why not? Biden INVITED the whole dadgum world to "Come on in while I'm in office!" Those people who take advantage of Biden's weak mind, pretend that they are fleeing harm, but that is not the case in most instances. However, since they receive a notice to appear in court five years down the road from the date they walk into our country, they simple throw the notice to appear away, and they know that no one will ever come looking for them, since the Democrats are trying to eliminate ICE patrol; the officers who are instructed to round up those illegals who have failed to obey our court rulings.

Easy peasy! The Democrats disregard US laws and wait to see how long it will take OUR SLOW COURT SYSTEM to legally go through all of the red tape procedures to catch up to what Biden has illegally done, and charge him. He simply sits back, watches them, and waits for them to finally come looking for him.

As David was suggesting to Bob D., our legal counselor of sorts, we should file to have Biden impeached immediately, since we know that he is ignoring our laws, and he is causing tremendous harm to our country, harm that we will notice happening very, very soon, all around us everywhere. We will be saying to each other, "What the heck happened to us? Our country has gone to hell in a handbasket, and chaos looms everywhere!" It is exactly what is written by the Cloward and Piven handbook followers; the followers of Saul Alinsky; Alinsky being one of Cloward & Piven's theory adherers! Hillary Clinton is one of Saul Alinsky's best known followers, and she wrote about Alinsky in her thesis while a student in college. She ADORES Saul Alinsky still to this day, as she knows how sneaky and shrewd that Marxist guy was, preaching the Marxist theory of 'C&Piven' to all who would listen. Alinsky desired to bring this country to its knees, just like Bernie Sanders wants to do as well, wrecking our capitalistic system, forcing us all to adhere to socialistic rules; a type of system we never wanted here in THIS country. A socialist country is controlled by the government elitists(!) who seize control, not by elected representatives of the people.

Such a lovely lady Hillary is, isn't she?

This is George $oro$ EVERY NIGHT NOW!!!

And as I indicated, people here are FINALLY saying, "what happened?" One organization is constantly having commercials on TV here saying how something needs to be done about the deteriorating situation here in Portland.

So there are some people finally realizing the results of the evil Marxist governance, but still WAY too many like Sandra, who in the last sentence of her post #24001 thinks conservatives are the problem evidently!

Janalu. I've been to dozens of Democratic Party meetings in Tomball and Houston and I have never heard anything like what you say.

Typical conspirratorial drivel...And it's pretty amazing to see.

They just want to help the downtrodden. It's pretty simple.

Lowell,

You can't see the forest for the trees!

But I still think you are a good & funny RHS '69er!

That BS about conspiracy theories, or disinformation, or the typical over-used lines you hear from CNN are nonsense. But they are repeated so often by the mainstream media talking heads, they become reality to anyone who doesn't look up the facts, except on Facebook or the other Big Tech social outlets.

Bob D or anyone else --

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Does this imply that Biden can violate any law he pleases, i.e. does preserving, protecting, and defending only refer to the original Constitution and the 27 amendments?

Sandra -

We're looking at only 16 years from womb to voting booth if Democrats have their way.

I can see it now. New voting rights rules passed by the Democrat House and Senate, signed by President Biden -- ballots must be hand-delivered to every student in all 10th grade study halls along with at least one joint or two Marvel comic books.

David,

In many large democratically controlled cities, such as NYC and Chicago, undocumented migrants, or migrants who have work permits, have been allowed to obtain driver's licenses, and with a driver's license, a person can vote, even if they are told not to do it. I'm sure there have been instances where undocumented folks have slipped by unnoticed at voting precincts, or have been able to vote in places where precincts are poorly monitored, or places where precinct monitors are lax, on purpose. There was a great deal of lax behavior at the 2020 predicential election, and anyone can look on YouTube at just how much of it was actually recorded, especially in states where minorities were manning their stations at the precincts. I saw it myself, especially in Michigan. It was recorded on YouTube and I was able to access it, as I was checking out recorded video, just after the election; while there were a lot of us folks trying to figure out just exactly WHAT happened during the election tallying. I watched Giuliani go before electioneers and Senate panels, as he was trying to explain to those officials what he had verified from many of the "observers." Those observers swore on affidavits to what they had witnessed. Their stories were quite convincing too. They were able to tell of exactly WHO they saw doing nefarious actions, and they could describe even what the people were wearing the night of the tallying. The 'fact checkers,' or members of the Senate panels, were able to go back to recorded film from Nov. 3rd's night's proceedings, and they could point out, with accuracy, what the 'affidavit swearing observers' had told them to look for. The info was recorded on film for all to see clearly, yet time and time again, the affidavit swearers were dismissed, or were told that they could not be heard until a later time...possibly. Those observers STILL have not been given any hearing whatsoever. Their testimony has been swept under the rug, as we Conservatives expected would happen. Giuliani has even been smeared in the mainstream press as having violated his lawful duties in an unbecoming way, or words to that effect (I can't remember the exact charge he was dealt) but it was a charge that he completely denies; "Just a way to smear me, and my reputation," he says. I've watched about six of his hearings before committees, and he had piles of info to relate to the panels, as well as folks with him that he had asked to appear with him, so that they could tell of what they had seen. It was all very compelling to listen to, and did not in any way appear to be 'made-up' or false testimony. Some of the people who came with Giuliani became very emotional as they spoke, because they told of how mad they were to see what they had seen, knowing that the actions witnessed were absolutely wrong and punishable.

Just a couple of days ago, news was released that told of what was done with Zuckerberg's millions of dollars, up in Wisconsin, where certain left-leaning folks were hired to elicit specific voting enticements, and were given specific instructions as to what to do with their ballots. Groups of specific 'left-leaning Dems' were sought out to be asked or even prodded diligently, in whatever measure seemed to work best to get them to the polls, and to take their best friends with them...to PLEAD with these voters to be absolutely sure to vote, no matter what! Mollie Hemingway, a lady editor of THE FEDERALIST, has written a book that has just come out, about all of what she has learned of exactly what Zuckerberg did in Wisconsin. I haven't read it yet, but I've heard that the book reveals a lot of very telling information Congress should hear immediately.

ZUCKERBUCKS is the moniker given to Zuckerberg's dirty money dealing during the election.

I was just reading some news that was difficult to hear. It was news about our country's current shape, which as most of us know is bad shape, because of the current administration's horrible "edicts" coming down the pike.

But the info came from a person I trust to be honest, very intelligent, and a Christian person, which needs to be said in this day and time, because of what we know is happening to Christianity in this country by far leftists, who despise us and want us out of the way.

1.) The reason Rep. Kyrsten Sinema and Sen. Manchin have been greatly and uncerimoniously hassled lately, is because George Soros, the man who is trying his best to totally bring our country into mass chaos and disrepare, is the one who has been funding the people who are chasing around our Rep. and our Senator. That horrid man is delighted to give money freely and in large quantities to Democrats that will hassle those two Congress members. Soros is laughing his head off!

2.) The reason Biden is passing everything he can to destroy the strides Trump made, is because Biden hates Trump, and because there is a mass effort afloat to REDISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH of this country (one of the reasons that so many illegals are being allowed to enter our country) and also, again because of Soros, there is the effort to bring the US down a few notches, so that we are not as powerful in the world----The globalist folks around the world, and the members of the United Nations, do not like the fact that the US is so wealthy and so powerful. China especially doesn't like it, and as we've heard, they are revving up to "take us down."

3.) The reason that every time Trump tried to get some legislation passed to be able to forward his and the Republican's goals, he was immediately "taken to court," usually in the 9th district of California, because it was a way of (a.) announcing to the public that Trump had done something that was wrong, or at least, Trump was made to look like he had done something illegal (b.) It was a way to slow everything down that Trump was initiating (c.) It was a way to drain money away from the Republicans, which the Dems enjoyed doing

I have more to say, but I must stop for now. More to follow........

One thing before I forget----Biden has not put anything in writing concerning the fact that he is telling everyone that "You Must Get Vaccinated!" He is just insinuating that he is going to do that, so already corporations are telling their employees to "Get vaccinated, or be terminated!" But all an employee has to do is say "NO!" There is not anything legally written that says to do that! All there is is Biden's threat that he will put out an Executive Order, but it hasn't happened yet! If enough employers STAND UP TO BIDEN and say "NO! Americans have a choice as to what they inject into their bodies!" ----Biden will not be able to force them all to fire their employees, without causing MAJOR problems in business, so he will back down in light of being shown up.

I was in mediation with a client who is a long distance truck driver. He mentioned that his employer -- one whose trucks we all see on the roads -- does not go to California. He goes everywhere else in the U.S., just not Cali. The reason is that the state government has special truck regulations that are too expensive for most trucking companies to meet so they stay out of that state. He thinks that is a reason for the stack up of container ships in Cali ports -- no trucks to pick up the cargo. Has anyone seen this on the news or even the propaganda outlets? (saying it that way gives both ideological sides the ability to feel their dislike of the mainstream media and/or Fox and talk radio but say what they heard)

Haven't posted in awhile, but happened to think of this song today. Perhaps a good portion of the lyrics apply.

If not, I still love what one commentor made under the song: "Sometimes we have to forgive ourselves, to forgive someone else. It was, and always will be.....about love"

I saw where Cal. has now outlawed off road gas engines by 2025. That includes generators, lawn mowers, chain saws and others. They didn't consider that lawn services can get electric mowers that are over 2 times as much and then how long will the batteries last before being recharged. Can you imagine the logging companies trying to use electric saws and no geneaartors. Also there goes the emergency genarators in hospitals and buildings that want to hav emergency power when the electricity go down. Dallas has emergency generators that are dual fuel, Natural gas with propane back-up so if the station loses power they still have communications and the doors can go up and down.

Pete Buttigieg.

This guy's government experience prior to 2021 was being mayor of South Bend, Indiana, which has 14,000 fewer people than Richardson. President Biden appointed this unqualified man to be Secretary of Transportation, which includes the Maritime Department, apparently because he checks a box.

Three points:

1) Shortages of products are developing in stores.

2) There are scores of gigantic container ships offshore, waiting to dock, on the west coast.

3) Pete Buttigieg has been on paternity leave since mid-August.

He has made some appearances in the past few days. Nice cover.

Bob D. I did not read the article, but I did look at the maps of our GOP Texas redistricting plan. It is sort of hard to visualize such a huge geographical change to 18 and 29...I think we are being moved to 38. It says Sheila Jackson Lee's house, where she has lived for 50 years, has been moved out of 18. Not that she's my favorite Dem, but I think it would be appropriate to indicate the district populations as drawn in 2010 and next to that a map of the same district's populations in 2020. Then, the populations of each district change as proposed.

No way a non political analysis came to these re drawings. Perplexing.

Apparently, at least for 11 02 2021 election, there is still 24 hour early voting at several places here in Harris County.

That is good by me, but I do not understand.

By the wayl Somebody in Richardson should drive by some of the houses there and photo/film to post here the cool decorations for Halloween in the neighborhoods. I drove down Thompson to Parkview and out Floyd Road to Aarapaho, and returned down Campbell again to Floyd. Saw some pretty good decorations, but at daytime, not night. The house next door to Mike Marks' old place had a good show going on. It might be of interest to some of us here. Wish I had though of it when I was there...

David,

I think we all know that Biden appointed Buttagieg to the Transportation Department because he is a gay man.

That's it! Pure and simple!

Biden's appointments, 99% of them, are based on identity politics. Nothing more.

It is the agenda of the Democrats to make the US to appear to be like England, a nation of many international people living there, and a nation that is politically correct, at least in its appearance.

This is a continuing of Obama's effort (and Soros' effort, a good buddy of Obama and the Democrats) to FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE AMERICA forever, so that our nation is much less WHITE and much less Christian, even though we do not have a national religion. Though we do not have a national religion, our country was once-upon-a-time a mostly Christian country, as we were founded with Judeo-Christian ethics and beliefs. People from around the world will tell you that America is thought of, or maybe I should say WAS thought of, as a Christian nation.

Who told Obama that we, as a nation, wanted to be like England?

Didn't our first colonists and settlers FLEE England to make a NEW and different life?

Folks, this is what occurs when we have Socialists and Marxist TAKING OVER our country and thrusting THEIR goals upon us, as if THEY KNOW BETTER THAN WE as to what WE WANT!

Wake up and smell the coffee!
