• Obama Presidential Library Set to Open

    From BTR1701@3:633/10 to All on Wed Apr 8 17:42:48 2026
    The Borg Cube looming over Chicago, otherwise known as the Obama
    Presidetial Library, will soon open to the public.

    Tickets are $23 for general admission and free on Tuesdays to Illinois residents.

    But then I started thinking... how do they know who is an Illinois
    resident? And when I looked into it, the library's website said patrons
    should be prepared to show proof of residency with an Illinois state driver license or ID card.

    I was left reeling in shock and horror. Then I began weeping disconsolately with the realization that black people won't be able to visit the library.
    This is the ultimate betrayal. The first black president effectively bans
    black people from his library.

    Asking for IDs is the functional equivalent of banning black people. That?s what we've been told. Many times. Chuck Schumer continually likens any
    attempt to confirm identity via government-issued ID to Jim Crow laws. The Democrats have forcefully assured us that black people have no ID and can't understand how to get one, that they can?t even find the DMV to make an attempt.

    Asking for an ID at the Obama Presidential Library?... well, they might as
    well just hang a sign on the front door that says, "No Blacks Allowed".

    This is a huge scandal. I don't know why there's not more coverage of this.

    Democrat hatred for voter ID laws is just another example of what Obama famously called "the soft bigotry of low expectations". Ami Horowitz's
    short video on this topic still undermines their entire argument. It
    should be compulsory viewing by all "progressives".

    That's disingenuous. *Both* the Left and the Right expect these
    measures to lower voter turnout especially of Left-leaning voters.
