After the outright slaughter of their own do they not see the sheer lunacy in making this remark? Iran/Persia's history is a long one of chaos more often than not mostly due to its ever changing political scene depending on who or what group decides its time for a change. Additionally they long for a return to their empire status much like Mussolini/Hitler/Stalin. Iran is the ever present "bully" sorely needing an attitude adjustment before it is responsible for a world catastrophe that may have no winners.

CT requires some form of ID to vote, ie., driver's license, current utility bill, passport, even someone vouching for you (must sign documentation). You cannot just walk in, head for a tabulator and cast a vote. If you cannot prove place of residence, you cannot vote. At best a provisional ballot would be the only option.

Iran/Persia has a long history of "government" upheaval. It's people welcome new leadership then complain thereafter when "it" doesn't deliver. But in its long history, a western styled government has never been put in place nor has its people clammored for one. Nuclear weapons in such an unhealthy nation is dangerous not just for the USA or Israel, but the world. Who is to stop them from eyeing their neighbors (many were once occupied by Persia). So how will this distraction prevent the same scenario down the road? Where is there new leadership willing to do the hard work of eliminating the zealots and dictators? Each time we "enter" into a conflict with nations that have gone astray, our efforts have been in vain, Vietnam, Afghan, etc., Iran will be no different.

Apparently this started as a road rage incident. So far one woman is dead, a dog was stabbed (not sure if alive/dead) and escalated from there.

None of their policies resonant w/sane Americans. Putting Americans in harms way time and again makes absolutely no sense unless your ultimate goal is to increase voter rolls. As for Homeland Security, after 9/11 and Boston, it would behoove members of either party to think twice about the potential for another catastrophic event.

As an election registrar in my town, I take voter ID very seriously. Without proof of residency, you will not get past my poll checkers. Voter identification should not even be an issue. It is beyond ridiculous that identification is necessary in so many other transactions but not the one that elects the "commander in chief".

One can't help but think this was scripted for the next Hollywood blockbuster . . two many odd circumstances from the basement dweller to the convenient suicide in NH . . can't wait to hear the manufactured motive . . .

No it isn't . . anyone believing that "we the people" are told the truth are living in never never land. Both sides of the aisle "furnish" whatever they think is believable & will benefit them at the polls. As for Brown, it's inconceivable that in an urban setting more clues have not been forthcoming and what about the 7 live victims? Have they located and interviewed others in the recent video? Are the authorities stalling for time? What do we know about the 2 dead? So many unanswered questions seems odd to say the least otherwise, we are left to believe that RI's police are in over their heads and perhaps should aim for a roles in any forthcoming renditions of the Keystone Cops.

For starters I'm a product of the Eisenhower era, wherever that puts me category-wise. My Dad was the breadwinner and Mom stayed home. He started off as a commercial artist eventually becoming an art director and lastly part-ownership in a printing business. So by our neighborhood standards, we were better off than most . . however Dad was tight with a dollar so, we never traveled by plane, rarely went on vacations and eating out was pizza on Friday nights. My Dad and his father built our very modest house of 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. Yes, my sister and I shared a bedroom as my brother rated his own room. We always had new outfits for the first day of school but otherwise Dad "barked" if we wanted more clothing. I doubt if I ruined anybody's life style today. Thanks to Dad I was taught the value of a dollar and hard work. Everything I have today is the result of heeding Dad's advice, working two jobs and save, save, save. My house too is small but cozy . . who needs a big house to maintain and heat in this day and age of out of sight electric/heating costs.

Just for the record, I'm a boomer and I have no trouble with the whole lot of illegals, muslims, etc., being tossed out on their asses. If the value of my home is lessened as a result so be it . . I'm more concerned about the future of my country and my grandchildren's futures than my net worth.
