Thank God for Donald Trump, but ultimately our job is to put our trust in the Divine Providence of God Almighty who miraculously birthed our nation and I think getting ready to miraculously recover and restore our nation. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and cursed is the man that trusts in man (Jeremiah 17:5-8).
With loving Trump and trusting in God not man as our framework, I’ll say this: unconstitutional federal takeover of state sovereignty is NOT a good precedent. Trump needs a Constitutional Amendment for the feds to interfere with state elections including presidential elections.
Great unconstitutional federal push for “good” can easily turned into almost immediate overthrow of a Free America by a rogue unconstitutional federal government, once the wrong people, like now, are in power even for a short time.
Today’s national and constitutional crisis calls for either very temporary government acts or a constitutional amendment to do what is otherwise the “right thing” by violating the Constitution.
Lincoln suspended constitutionally protected habeas corpus but only because it was during the emergency of the Civil War. Well, we are in just as dire times now, so for now let’s say federal muscling in on State sovereignty may be necessary during their Leftist coup d’état but let’s call it what it is - TEMPORARY.
When things get back to headed toward normal, the feds need to RESPECT our beloved Constitution. PERIOD!!! And no unconstitutional “quick trials”. Please.
Our mission is to restore America’s Free Constitutional Republic. To the degree “the policies of MAGA” do that, to that degree MAGA is our mission.
Free: This is where the fight is. God-given individual liberty to do and live as each person chooses free from unconstitutional government interference and coercion IS the issue.
Constitutional: The Constitution is the only legal bulwark of liberty against government tyranny which is defined as unconstitutional government acts and agencies (AKA “Deep State” AKA “The Swamp”). To viably protect our God-given liberty, the Constitution MUST be reinstated as the Supreme law of the Land.
Republic: Small, localized, and representative governance is the constitutional way WE THE PEOPLE are to run our great and beloved America.
How do we accomplish our mission?
1) To do whatever it takes to dismantle the $3+ trillion 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the federal government.
2) reinstate constitutional state sovereignty.
3) reinstate the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land over the federal government.
I don’t give a sh#t about politics, political correctness, personalities, or the man in the moon. This is what we must do to restore our beloved and beautiful country.
We Patriotic Americans must keep this long-term view of our mission and goals in mind always. Trump is the first substantive step towards this recovery and certain TEMPORARILY extreme and even unconstitutional steps may be required to right this ship of state. But as soon as we can, we need to align with the mission of restoring our Free Constitutional Republic.
To the degree I see Trump beginning the process of recovering and restoring our great nations, to that degree I love him and support him. Few are willing to give up so much as Trump has to fight for what the Left has stolen from us.
We have a new slogan now, MAGAGA, Make America Great and Glorious Again.
That sucks. MAGA worked well as a slogan. Short, simple and to the point and rolled off the tongue well. This is silly and smacks of a lack of imagination.
Trump will need divine help if he is to overcome the neo pagan globalists, the biased MSM, leftist billionaires, RINOs, malevolent social media companies and their deceptive algorithms, fraud, and the decadents that always vote Democrat. Perhaps Trump is the man that can shatter that wicked platform that supports the corrupt, demented Biden. Someone has to do it. Otherwise the American nation and its people are likely to pass into the mists of history.
And that is NOT Lady MAGAGA as a statue in the NYC harbor...
Lady MAGAGA, children at your feet...
This man did once and can do it again but we need to push from every direction to make sure he gets across the finish. Just think what this country and the world would be like if all Americans and congress got behind him for his first term , instead of tearing him down constantly. God is not happy with us now and we must get back to believing and trusting in God, if we are going to save America.
We do not need a Constitutional amendment to set standards in the states’ administration of federal elections.
The STATES not the feds are in charge of the vote of each state.
What we DON’T need is unconstitutional federal interference in our decentralized state-by-state voting process. THAT will be the end of America as we know it.
For MAGA to work, we must first MAVA — make America virtuous again. Do you think this is possible? I’m not so sure. Otherwise we’re just a bully nation with lots of military and financial might . . . but even those seem to be diminished lately.
We already have federal laws about elections and we could pass more. Otherwise we have to control the blue states state governments, and we don’t, to make an impact.
In the Supreme Court’s 1997 decision, Foster v. Love, the Court noted that while states can prescribe regulations governing the Times, Places and Manner of holding elections, Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations.
The Court stated: The [Elections] Clause is a default provision; it invests the States with responsibility for the mechanics of congressional elections but only so far as Congress declines to pre-empt state legislative choices. Thus, it is well settled that the Elections Clause grants Congress ‘the power to override state regulations’ by establishing uniform rules for federal elections, binding on the States. ‘The regulations made by Congress are paramount to those made by the State legislature; and if they conflict therewith, the latter so far as the conflict extends, ceases to be operative.’
The Constitution trumps federal laws (US Const., Art. VI, Cl. 2).
The Constitution does not grant the feds power to interfere with a how a state does its voting and balloting for a federal presidential election.
If it is not a power delegated by the Constitution, it is not a legitimate federal power no matter how many laws they’ve passed (and they’ve passed a lot of unconstitutional laws).
Have your ideal world. I’m trying to survive and prosper in the world as it is.
POW talk.
The fight for faith and freedom is eternal as Thomas Jefferson said. Sorry you have acquiesced to the Leftist tyrants.
Rots a Ruck.
Please excuse me, sir. How dare I engage with one so clearly my superior. Pray, I beg you, O pure and lofty one, forgive my transgression.
Your humble servant,
