More than 100 countries around the world have a national ID card. Now the United States has one too. Starting on May 7th, you will be asked to show a REAL ID card if you want to fly on an airplane. Once authorities have established that precedent, it is just a matter of time before a REAL ID card is required for all sorts of other things. Being forced to “show your papers” in order to exercise basic freedoms goes against everything that this nation is supposed to represent. Unfortunately, that is precisely what is about to happen once we reach the deadline on May 7th…

Due to a law passed by Congress in 2005 that has been repeatedly extended for two decades, anyone traveling on domestic flights must have the new REAL ID to get through routine security protocols and board a plane. REAL ID also allows access to some federal buildings and nuclear facilities. The deadline of May 7, 2025, now appears set and is unlikely to be extended again, with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) extending hours to help Americans obtain them.
We have now received official confirmation that there will be no more extensions of the deadline.
On Sunday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted the following message on Twitter…
“Starting on May 7, everyone needs a REAL ID, passport or another approved identification to fly. REAL ID helps ensure that travelers are who they say they are and prevents fraud by criminals, terrorists and illegal aliens. Enforcing federal law will help keep American travelers safe.”

How will this keep us safer?
TSA screenings are already way too intrusive.
Why do we need to add this additional step?
For decades, we have been giving up liberty for “more security”, and that has not made our society a better place.
In response to Noem’s announcement, former U.S. Representative Ron Paul posted the following…
“What Is Kristi Noem Doing? REAL ID is Tyrannical…Authored By The Same Author of The Patriot Act!”
Ron Paul is right.
REAL ID was wrong when it originally became law, and it is wrong now.
That is why so many states have been resisting it all these years.
A lawmaker from Maine named Laurel Libby believes that REAL ID is a “de facto national identification system”…
Collecting and storing people’s personal data increases the risk for data breaches and identity theft, she argued. She also said it acts as a “de facto national identification system,” which contradicts the principles of federalism and individual freedoms.
Nobody can really argue with this because it is true.
A REAL ID card is a national ID card.
Nothing that they say is ever going to make that okay.
Now that the deadline is approaching, DMV offices all over the country are absolutely swamped as people scramble to get them in time…
