  • South Carolina Agency: The Feds Force Us To Give Voter Registration To Foreign Nationals

    Thank you for referencing that article lowbridge.

    "South Carolina Agency: The Feds Force Us To Give Voter Registration To Foreign Nationals"


    First, the bottom line ...

    Regarding illegals voting to keep desperate elite Democrats who murder unborn Democratic voters in power, the broader picture is that political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because it is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

    The congressional record shows that post-Civil War lawmakers had expressed concern that states that allow non-citizens to vote effectively nullify the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause."

    • "Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization [emphasis added], and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"

    • " If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but" * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)

    • " Whatever difference there may be as to what other rights appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government, from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)

    So if what SC is saying about voter registration forms is true, the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds are likewise violating the Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause imo.

    Again, the broader picture is that corrupt political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because the electoral college is the only thing stopping the constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

  • Arizona Shows Huge Number of ILLEGAL BALLOTS Cast in 2020

    Thank you for referencing that article Racketeer. Please note that the following critique is directed at the desperate elite Democrats who have evidently pirated control of Arizona.

    "Arizona Shows Huge Number of ILLEGAL BALLOTS Cast in 2020"


    Regarding allegations of problems with Arizona vote counting for 2020, please consider the following.

    Pence and the J6 Congress seem to have obstructed the due process of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A) for Arizona, that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred, when Congress hastily (imo) decided to accept questionable electoral votes for Biden, déjà vu of Pelosi irresponsibly ramming unconstitutional (imo) Obamacare through the House imo.

    • Consider the zero tolerance "hair triggers" of Section 2 of 14A.

      • "is denied to any"

      • "or in any way abridged,"

      • "14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced [emphases added] in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]

    • "Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

    Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots need to support Trump with a new patriot Congress in November that will not only support hopeful Trump 47 to quickly finish draining the swamp, but will also do its duty to make sure that Section 2 is enforced for 2020 (earlier?) elections.

    If this were a better world, the feds would be publicly reminding all states before an election that the feds will be darkening the doorway of any state to investigate allegations of possible violations of constitutional voting integrity protections.

    Thank you for posting Gaffer and nickcarraway.

    "The ONLY document that is relevant is the United States Constitution and/or the USSC’s interpretation of it."


    Respectfully Gaffer, noting that the Constitution doesn't say much about international law, Justice John Jay had also clarified that the Laws of Nations (international law) is a founding law like the Constitution is.

    Excerpted from the writings of Chief Justice John Jay:

    "That you may percieve more clearly the Extent and objects of your Inquiries, it may be proper to observe that the Laws of the united States admit of being classed under three Heads or3 Descriptions—
    "1st. all Treaties made under the authority of the united States.

    2dly. The Laws of nations [emphasis added]

    3dly. The Constitution, and Statutes of the united States—"

    John Jay’s Charge to the Grand Jury, the Circuit Court for the District of Virginia, 22 May 1793

    So regardless that media led us to believe that Laws of Nations in Constitution is a mystery (my word) in the context of Obama's questionable qualification to be president, first Chief Justice John Jay left us a paper trail from the Constitution to the Laws of Nations imo.

    "Dem Sen. Kelly: I Support Eliminating the Filibuster to Codify Abortion Rights"


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    Since the word abortion is not found in the Constitution, the constitutionally limited power federal government has no power to make policy for abortion.

    "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    Just like Pelosi, Kelly is trying to keep desperate Democrats and RINOs in power by scandalously exploiting constitutionally low-information voters imo, trying to win their votes for OBiden with campaign promises of unconstitutional, politically correct abortion rights. Such voters have probably never been taught about federal government's constitutionally limited powers.

    Probably the main reason that Democratic and RINO crook politicians support abortion is so that they can continue to pocket their share of unconstitutional federal taxes, such taxes arguably stolen state revenues (citizen's wallets), collected by Congress's abuse of repealable 16th Amendment.

    "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

    Again, Congress has no express constitutional power to legislatively address abortion.

    Thank you for referencing that article Tell It Right.

    "Railroad co’s should just rename their diesel locomotives as “EV locomotives with a diesel generator”. It’s an accurate description of what they are anyway."


    Your statement brought the following thread to mind.

    Largest EV Charging Station In the World is Powered By Diesel-Powered Generators (10.3.23)

    Since the states have never expressly constitutionally given the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds the specific power to police the environment, consider that the EPA, run by non-popularly elected bureaucrats, is unconstitutional and shouldn't exist imo.

    "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v.

    California's CARB is likewise illegal under California's constitution imo, CARB also run by non-popularly elected bureaucrats.

    "Article IV, California Constitution

    Section 1

    The legislative power of this State is vested in the California Legislature which consists of the Senate and Assembly, the people reserving to themselves the powers of initiative and referendum."

    Non-popularly elected government bureaucrats in state and federal governments are examples of career, crook lawmakers who are not taking responsibility for the legislative powers that voter are trusting them with imo, most federal domestic bureaucrat policies now based on stolen state powers imo.

    "Nancy Pelosi: If Democrats Win, We Will Kill the Filibuster and Legalize Abortions Up to Birth Nationwide"


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    The word abortion is not found in the Constitution. So in stark contrast to Pelosi's unconstitutional election year promise, the federal government has no express constitutional authority, including no Oval Office edicts, to say yes or no to abortion, or to dictate policy for abortion, or to tax and spend for abortion.

    In other words, not only was the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade (Roe) a MAJOR constitutional scandal imo, but consider this. Desperate, post-17th Amendment ratification Democratic and RINO lawmakers seized Roe as their "opportunity" to stay in power by exploiting constitutionally low-information, pro-abortion voters who have probably never been taught the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the drafters of the Constitution had intended for those powers to be understood.

    Here's an example how abortion can be thought of as being effectively written into the 1st Amendment.

    • "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; [or dictating policy for abortion, either directly or indirectly;] or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    • "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    If this were a better world, the House would be justified in expelling Pelosi for trying to unconstitutionally expand the federal government's constitutionally limited powers imo.

    Thank you for referencing that article Roman_War_Criminal. Please note that the following critique is address at the post-17th Amendment ratification Senate and not at you.

    "With Only Weeks Away, Experts Urgently Warn WHO Pandemic Treaty Will Usurp US Sovereignty"


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    First, the states have never expressly constitutionally given the federal government the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate healthcare purposes (Obamacare unconstitutional imo), not even to stop the spread of contagious diseases.

    Justice Joseph Story had put it this way about national federal healthcare.

    • "They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, and health laws, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and others, which respect roads, fences, &c. are component parts of state legislation, resulting from the residuary powers of state sovereignty. No direct power over these is given to congress, and consequently they remain subject to state legislation [emphases added], though they may be controlled by congress, when they interfere with their acknowledged powers." —Justice Joseph Story, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2, 1833.

    • "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    In fact, Story had also clarified that peacetime foreign aid and subsidies are unconstitutional.

    If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

    Also, both Thomas Jefferson, undoubtedly based on his experience as President of Senate, and Supreme Court had clarified that fed's power to make treaties cannot be used as a way around the Constitution's Article V amendment process to petition states for new federal powers like the crooks in DC are evidently trying to do with WHO Pandemic Treaty.

    • “Surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.” — Thomas Jefferson: Parliamentary Manual, 1812 .

    • "The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." —Reid v. Covert, 1957.

    Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress so that he won't be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term in office, the new Congress also supporting Trump to quickly finish draining the swamp.

    "Eight Democrat-nominated judges shoved transgender surgery closer to becoming a constitutional right via their decision Monday in a federal appeals court."


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    Mr. Munro evidently doesn't understand that new constitutional rights require the states to appropriately amend the Constitution.

    "The majority decision in the Fourth Circuit federal appeals court said existing constitutional rules forbidding sexual discrimination [??? emphasis added] also forbid denials of transgender surgeries in state-run healthcare programs."


    Regarding so-called existing constitutional rules forbidding sexual discrimination, the only sex-related protection that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect limits the federal government's power to finding legislative remedies for voting rights issues, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.
    • "19th Amendment: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

      Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

    • "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    • Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)

    So if court "magicians" are trying to pull politically correct, Democratic vote-winning transgender surgery out of the “magical hat” Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its titles (aka legislating politically correct "rights" from the bench to keep Democrats in power), consider that probably most of that act and its titles are unconstitutional imo.

    In fact, if race-related federal civil rights protections aren't reasonably related to 15th Amendment voting rights protections, then they are likewise unconstitutional imo.

    "15th Amendment:
    Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

    Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

    "US to require automatic emergency braking on new vehicles in 5 years and set performance standards"


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    To begin with, braking vehicles on icy roads can lead to major problems.

    Also, I understand that at least some of the automated features of Elon Musk's EVs were known to cause some potentially serious problems.

    I also understand that Apple shelved development of smart cars because current technology is not safe enough enough, correction welcome.

    Also, federal government Democrats and RINOs stealing and abusing state powers to try to win votes to stay in power is also a major problem.

    More specifically, Justice Joseph Story had volunteered a few example lists of things that, although intimately (Story's word) related to commerce, were not be be regarded as part of Congress's Commerce Clause powers. One of the main things that Story emphasized was manufactures, manufactured goods, Congress having no power to tell manufactures how to build their products.

    • "The question comes to this, whether a power, exclusively for the regulation of commerce, is a power for the regulation of manufactures [all emphases added]? The statement of such a question would seem to involve its own answer. Can a power, granted for one purpose, be transferred to another? If it can, where is the limitation in the constitution? Are not commerce and manufactures as distinct, as commerce and agriculture? If they are, how can a power to regulate one arise from a power to regulate the other? It is true, that commerce and manufactures are, or may be, intimately connected with each other. A regulation of one may injuriously or beneficially affect the other. But that is not the point in controversy. It is, whether congress has a right to regulate that, which is not committed to it, under a power, which is committed to it, simply because there is, or may be an intimate connexion between the powers. If this were admitted, the enumeration of the powers of congress would be wholly unnecessary and nugatory. Agriculture, colonies, capital, machinery, the wages of labour, the profits of stock, the rents of land, the punctual performance of contracts, and the diffusion of knowledge would all be within the scope of the power; for all of them bear an intimate relation to commerce. The result would be, that the powers of congress would embrace the widest extent of legislative functions, to the utter demolition of all constitutional boundaries between the state and national governments." —Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2:§§ 1073--91

    • "The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress [emphasis added], than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.

    • "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    So misguided Buttigieg probably doesn't have the technology, certainly not the constitutional authority, to say what he said about automatic emergency braking.

    Thank you for referencing that article DFG.

    ""Congress wrote Title IX to protect women [??? emphasis added]. Biden, with no authority to do so, rewrote Title IX to protect men who identify as women," Abbott wrote Monday on social media platform X."


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    First, the bottom line ...

    Regarding oppressed federal taxpayers, the broader picture is that political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because it is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

    Respectfully to Gov. Abbott, he is wrong about Title IX and women imo.

    More specifically, the only sex-related right that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect limits the scope of federal sex protection laws to voting rights issues, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.

    • "19th Amendment: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

      Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

    • "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    "The Biden administration recently revised the rules for Title IX, the sweeping civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination at federally funded [??? emphasis added] colleges and K-12 schools."


    Since colleges and primary schools are evidently not teaching the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as its drafters had intended for those powers to be understood, probably very few patriots understand that the so-called “federal” funding that the states now regularly beg from the corrupt feds to keep their INTRAstate schools running is arguably state revenues, especially citizens' wallets, that the feds continuously steal from the states by lawmaker and executive abuse of repealable 16th Amendment power (16A; direct taxes).

    In other words, corrupt Congress cannot reasonably justify most taxes under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.

    • "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

    • "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

    • If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

    • From the congressional record:

      ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
    • “Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

    The remedy for unconstitutionally big federal government oppressing everybody under its boots...

    Democratic and Republican Trump supporters not only need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress so that Trump will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but the new Congress has to support Trump to do the following concerning unconstitutional federal taxes.

    Trump needs to lead the states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes by effectively "seceding" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by repealing the 16th and 17th Amendments (17A; popular voting for federal senators).

    Consider the repealing of 16&17A as part of reparations for victim taxpayers of the corrupt federal government for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes.

    Again, the broader picture is that corrupt political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because the electoral college is the only thing stopping the constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

    Thank you for referencing that article Jim W N.

    "Homelessness is simply NOT a federal government issue. The Constitution gives the feds NO authority or power over homelessness. It is a local/states’ issue. SCOTUS would get it right by remanding it to the state(s) where the issue belongs."


    I agree 100%.

    First, the bottom line.

    The broader picture about homeless is his. The corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties are working to establish a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

    But more specifically concerning how unconstitutional, unaccountable federal government taxes are huring the homeless, consider this. As a consequence of corrupt Congress's abuse of its repealable 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes), Congress is effectively stealing state revenues, including citizen's wallets, by means of taxes that the post-17th Amendment ratification Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.

    In other words, there is a bunch of "federal" taxes, actually state revenues imo, that should never have left the states, revenues that the states could be using to take care of the homeless and many other things.

    Note that Justice Joseph Story had explained that "poor laws" are a state power issue.

    • "The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphasis added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.

    • From the congressional record, a clarification about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers by Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker:

      ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

    Federal government welfare is unconstitutional imo, just a way for corrupt politicians to buy votes.

    The remedy for unconstitutionally big federal government oppressing everybody under its boots...

    Democratic and Republican Trump supporters not only need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress so that Trump will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but the new Congress has to support Trump to do the following concerning unconstitutional federal taxes.

    Trump needs to lead the states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes by effectively "seceding" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by repealing the 16th and 17th Amendments (16&17A).

    Consider the repealing of 16&17A as part of reparations for victim taxpayers of the corrupt federal government for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.

    Again, the broader picture is that corrupt political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because the electoral college is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

    • "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

    • "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

    • If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

    • (Again) From the congressional record:

      ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added].

    "McConnell: National Abortion Ban Not Likely, Will Be ‘Sorted Out at the State Level’"


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    Forget post-17th Amendment ratification McConnell's deceptive (imo) comment that a national abortion ban is not likely. The federal government has no constitutional authority to address abortion, for or against.

    The states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect abortion as a right. So the Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson decision that overturn Roe v. Wade politically hides the problem that Roe v. Wade was a MAJOR constitutional scandal imo.

    Morally bankrupt Democrats and RINOs took advantage of Roe v. Wade by exploiting constitutionally clueless, pro-abortion voters to stay in power.

    "The Biden administration’s new Title IX rules mean that all American public schools must operate on the fundamental falsehood of gender ideology."


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    Respectfully to freeper parents, if concerned, hopeful Trump 47 parents were making sure that their local schools are teaching their children the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the drafters of the Constitution had intended for those powers to understood, then children would be able to give great hope to their oppressed parents concerning unconstitutional Title IX with the following analysis.

    First, if corrupt Congress had removed likewise corrupt OBiden from office by now, either for a number of impeachable offenses imo, or under the 25th Amendment, then OBiden wouldn't be shoving unconstitutional Title IX down our throats. So patriot voters need to give worthless Congress the boot in November along with OBiden.

    Regarding what the public schools are teaching, not only had both President Thomas Jefferson, in a State of the Union address, also Justice Joseph Story, indicated that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the federal government the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate schooling, but probably most of the vote-buying Civil Rights Act of 1964 (CRA64) and its titles are unconstitutional imo.

    • "The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)

    • "The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphasis added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.

    Importantly, note that any "federal" funding that OBiden Administration threatens schools with for non-compliance with Title IX are arguably state revenues (citizen's wallets) that should never have left the states in the first place. The federal government, facilitated by its abuse (imo) of repealable 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes), steals state revenues and citizen's wallets by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.

    • "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

    • "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

    Regarding CRA64 and its titles, the only race and sex-based personal protections that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect limits the laws that the federal government can make on these social concerns to the context of voting rights problems, evidenced by the 15th and 19th Amendments.

    • "15th Amendment:

      Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

      Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
    • "19th Amendment:

      The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

      Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
    • "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    The key question is this parents. What is your threshold of "pain" to support Trump with a new patriot Congress so that he won't be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term in office, the new Congress also supporting Trump to quickly finish draining the swamp.

  • Lawless Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs Vetoes Bill to Require Proof of Residency for Voting

    "Lawless Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs Vetoes Bill to Require Proof of Residency for Voting"


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots not only need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new Congress so that he won't be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will also remove Gov. Hobbs from office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment (14A) for open rebellion against the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause," nullifying that clause for Arizona with her veto of the Arizona proof or residency bill for voting.

    • "Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization [emphasis added], and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"

    • " If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but" * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)

    • " Whatever difference there may be as to what other rights appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government, from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)

    • "14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

    In addition to renegade states wrongly nullifying the Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause by letting illegal aliens vote, note the zero tolerance "hair trigger" language of Section 2 of 14A below which Pence and J6 Congress wrongly ignored imo.

    • "is denied to any"

    • "or in any way abridged,"

    • "14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced [emphases added] in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]

    The unconstitutional votes of illegal immigrants wrongly weaken the constitutionally enumerated voting power of citizens imo.

    In fact, consider that the post-Civil War congressional Republicans who drafted Section 2 made it to discourage Southern Democrats (my words) from rigging the ballot boxes that Democrats are now alleged to have done for 2020, 2022 and possibly earlier elections!

    "Because slavery (except as punishment for crime) had been abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment, the freed slaves would henceforth be given full weight for purposes of apportionment. This situation was a concern to the Republican leadership of Congress, who worried that it would increase the political power of the former slave states, even as such states continued to deny freed slaves the right to vote." —Apportionment of Representatives

    If this were a better world, the feds would be publicly reminding all states before an election that the feds will be darkening the doorway of any state to investigate allegations of possible violations of not only the "Uniform Rules of Naturalization Clause," but also Sections 2 & 3 of 14A.

    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    High taxes for any income-earning citizen are a consequence of corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress abusing its 16th Amendment (direct taxes) power with unconstitutional federal taxing and spending imo. These ill-conceived amendments effectively nullified the unconstitutionally big federal government's constitutionally limited powers imo.

    The remedy for this scandalous situation is for Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress in November that will not only support him to quickly finish draining the swamp, but will also support him in leading the states to effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by repealing those ill-conceived amendments.

    "Constitution guarantees [??? emphasis added] the right to a healthy environment"


    Respectfully FRinCanada2, if I understand you correctly, where did you get the idea that the Constitution guarantees the right to a healthy environment?

    Regarding OBiden's alleged plan for national climate emergency, please consider the following.

    None of the words climate, health, environment, crisis or emergency, are found in the amendable Constitution.

    In fact, your word "guarantee" is only in the Constitution once.

    "Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

    In other words, regarding concern about a possible OBiden emergency climate edict, the corrupt Congress that patriots desperately need to exercise their voting power to fire in November will predictably look the other way while OBiden steals state powers to make such edicts, just like Congress previously let Obama get away with doing in his second term imo.

    • ”I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” —James Madison, Speech at the Virginia Convention to ratify the Federal Constitution (1788-06-06)

    • ”To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition.” —Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson's Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791

    • "In every event, I would rather construe so narrowly as to oblige the nation to amend, and thus declare what powers they would agree to yield, than too broadly, and indeed, so broadly as to enable the executive and the Senate to do things which the Constitution forbids." —Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.

    • "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936

    Constitutionally non-existent Oval Office power to declare national emergencies probably got started in the time of Constitution-ignoring activist President Woodrow Wilson, under the cover of WWI. More specifically, the Democratic-controlled Congress arguably took advantage of that difficult time by unconstitutionally giving all presidents the power to unilaterally declare national emergencies, President Woodrow Wilson wrongly signing the bill that unconstitutionally gives presidents such power.

    In fact, the drafters of the Constitution gave the power to declare war uniquely to Congress to help prevent armed forces from being used as instrument of tyranny, the “power of the purse” House having the power to choose not to support an army led by a rising tyrant.

    "Article I, Section 8, Clause 11: To declare War [emphasis added], grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;"

    So even if corrupt Congress is willing to pay for an OBiden national emergency, it remains that Congress doesn't reasonably have the constitutional power to pay for such an emergency.

    Noting that the word emergency isn't found in the Constitution any more than abortion is, the EMTALA is an unconstitutional federal law imo, presumably another ploy by desperate Democrats and RINOs to try to win the votes of pro-abortion voters to stay in power.

    Such post-17th Amendment (popular voting for federal senators) ratification voters have probably never been taught about the fed's constitutionally limited powers, including limited power to appropriate taxes.

    In fact, note that the so-called "federal" funding that hospitals who don't comply with the law may lose is arguably unconstitutional federal taxes facilitated by federal abuse of its 16th Amendment (direct taxes) power, money that should never have been taken out of people's wallets imo.
