“*“Let’s enforce the 10th amendment. Devolve powers back locally.””
That’s what Geert Wilders just told the Germans, in a speech in Germany. Do it like Switzerland and let the power reside in the local canton, not far-away Brussels. (They pack pistols, too)
I'm up for that as well. But that's a much larger war than most people realize. Still, I'm already in the trenches on it.

The problem is that our city councils, county commissions and state houses are infested with ruling class politicians who don't actually believe in the 10th amendment. Even the majority of the RINO "Republicans" who vote for "10th amendment resolutions" won't pass up a "federal grant" in an area where Congress has no actual enumerated power or authority to spend.
If your city council gets a "federal grant" for refurbishing a local park, or your school board takes "federal money" for its operations, you need new city councilmen and/or school board members. Our local TEA Party and 9-12ers go to our county commission meetings and school board meetings, and when "federal grants" are discussed, we confront our local "leaders" (mostly RINOs) and ask them 1) Didn't you swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States (they did), and 2) Where in Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution would Congress get the authority to tax the people of South Dakota and Minnesota to pay for parks/roads/schools in our little county in Florida?
Until we are all willing to hold our local and state officials' feet to the fire on this, the President and Congress don't matter so much. They are doing what their "Ruling class" underlings ask them to do.
