Real ID, the Patriot Act, and the Funeral of Your Privacy

Oh, don’t act surprised. We were warned—loudly, clearly, and repeatedly. Orwell handed us the script back in 1949 with 1984, a chilling tale about a dystopian future ruled by tyrants armed with technology. The only thing he got wrong? The date. He was off by a few decades. Welcome to the show.

Then came Ted Kaczynski—yes, the Unabomber—whose 1995 manifesto Industrial Society and Its Future actually predicted with disturbing precision where this tech-obsessed world was headed. Sure, he mailed bombs (horrific, wrong, and indefensible), but buried in that 35,000-word screed were truths that our Silicon Valley overlords would prefer you ignore.

Fast forward to 2013. Edward Snowden peeled back the curtain and confirmed what Orwell and Kaczynski both hinted at: the government is watching you. All of you. All the time. The NSA was hoarding your phone records, digging through your emails, cozying up with big tech under the warm blanket of “national security.” The public screamed, Congress clutched its pearls, and then—poof—nothing changed. The programs didn’t end. They evolved, quietly, like a virus with a better PR team.

Enter Real ID—because apparently, the government didn’t know enough about you already. Now, if you want to fly or walk into a federal building, you’ll need your government-approved tracking badge with a shiny star. Why? Because the state needs your “valid” home address. They don’t want to just know who you are—they want to know exactly where you sleep at night.

Remember when driver’s licenses had no photos? When Social Security cards said “Not to be used for identification”? Those were quaint little relics of freedom—back when Americans were citizens, not livestock with barcodes.

And don’t get cute with burner phones. The feds can trace those right back to the 7-Eleven where you bought them. They’ll pull security footage, tag your face, grab your license plate, and follow you home like it’s a hobby.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about control. And guess what? It’s only getting worse. Technology isn’t liberating us—it’s forging our chains. And Americans? Oh, they’re too busy scrolling and swiping to notice the prison being built around them—one app, one camera, one “convenience” at a time.

As for me? Keep your Real ID. I already have a passport, and that’s all the ID I’ll ever need. I won’t pay for my own surveillance.

Let the sheep line up. I’m walking the other way.

Katie Hopkins, the Conservative media personality the political Left loves to hate...

Beverly Hills, CA--Media personality, Katie Hopkins loves the USA and our freedom. She’s an avid shooter and has actually joined the National Rifle Association. Hopkins has led an exciting life. Not yet 50 years old and she’s trained with British Royal Forces and she’s been hired and fired from numerous high profile media positions. 

Currently in the U.K. Hopkins’ opinions are considered to be somewhat in the political minority. Hopkins has proven that can raise the blood pressure of any Liberal that is within 100 meters to dangerous levels. 

Hopkins detests political correctness in any form and is a rabid free speech advocate. She’s a critic of forced multiculturalism because it results in so much unnecessary violence and difficulties. Particularly she's objected to the importation and financial support of millions Muslims into the UK. The resulting culture clash has devalued the way of life there. In reality we cannot deny horrific Muslim Terrorism any more than we can deny the Nazi Holocaust. 

Hopkins has an unquestionable sharp tongue that does nothing more than to provoke much needed debate. She is a very talented speaker and a gifted comedian. 

Hopkins weighs in at 110 lbs soaking wet with all her clothes on.  She deliberately gained and lost 42 lbs to show that diet and exercise actually works. That, after being criticized for her numerous fat shaming remarks. 

Currently Hopkins is traveling the USA speaking and lending her support to President Donald Trump. 

I’ve met her twice now and admit that I’ve fallen to her considerable charms. 

I’ve always believed that free speech and debate is not nor should be considered hate but a tool to work out those issues that separate our diverse cultures. In the words of the late Rodney King, “Can’t we all just get along ?” 

Why This Trump Impeachment Effort Will Soon Explode!

Why we must never surrender our gun rights!
