Agree with your analysis and concerns. On the other hand Ive been impressed with the success Charlie Kirk has had on the 20 something population. For this group and younger messages of aspiration are more powerful than messages of victimhood. I expect the Democrats to screw up on this front like they have screwed up on so many other fronts.

Still doesn’t matter. 16 year olds are too young to vote. Period. They have zero skin in the game. How many of them actually work? How many of them own property? How many of them have children? Not enough for them to understand to any capacity what they’re voting for.

Winston Churchill famously said if you vote conservative at 18 you’ve got no heart. If you vote liberal at 40 you’ve got no brain.

PM TwoTierKeir Starmer is Resident Brandon's Handlers on steroids.

He's destroying Great Britain from within and still has 4 more years to continue his arson campaign.

I've written to both Mike Johnson and John Thune and have told them if they don't start delivering for their constituents the Republican Party will wither away as the Conservative Party did in the United Kingdom.

They don't seem to be paying attention because we're getting another ugly Omnibus Bill in September. The laziest and most overpaid people in the United States are on Capitol Hill.

I believe there should be a universal age of adulthood.

Not 18 for war, 18 (or 16) to vote, 21 to drink and smoke-etc

19. Full stop. At 19 you can be drafted. At 19 you can rent a car. At 19 you can legally possess any firearm available. At 19 you vote. At 19 you can smoke/drink/etc.

19.

Why not implement mass-unsolicited mail in voting complemented by unmonitored drop boxes and automatic voter registration systems? The turnout for 16-18 year old voters will probably be abysmal anyway. Instead of manipulating the rules under the banner of the law, just resort to outright subterfuge akin to Democrats in the U.S

I wish I had the write up at hand, but Le Pen was not guilty of using the monies that are given to every member of Parliament for running their offices. She is no fool and would not be sloppy about her office expenses; she has been well aware that they have been out for her since she took office. It seems odd to me, that her party wins the last election yet did not gain many seats.

Can someone give me an example of where the expansion of the franchise did not increase the power of government?

"What begins in Europe often makes its way to the debate table in America." Correct. I hope we're ready to counter the foolishness.

It is very important that we support our European brethren. We have a Revolutionary War trophy, the Statue of Liberty, to remind us all of our common history.

Coach Trump has the whistle…let the players assemble. NOW the time for the game winning drive is at hand.

So, huddle up team, we have a sub-mission to carry out and the ball’s in our hands.
