The current state of the nation's capital is an embarrassment of unrelenting chaos and filth.
Every day, a number of innocent victims are carjacked by teenagers illegally wielding guns and engaging in violence. The Washington D.C. City Council, made up entirely of Democrats and leftists, recently voted to reduce penalties for these crimes, ensuring the problem will only get worse — with no recourse for those being threatened and assaulted at the end of the barrel.
With crime raging and threatening the city's economic viability, what happened just a few months ago completely undermines the very same democracy Democrats have been screaming about protecting.
On October 18, 2022, the same city council members voted to pass the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022. "Local residents" include illegal immigrants and adversarial foreign spies.
"Under the legislation, noncitizen residents could vote as long as they meet all other D.C. voting requirements: they are 18 or older and they have lived in the District of Columbia for at least 30 days," Local WTOP news reported at the time. "An estimated 51,000 residents in the District are noncitizens, according to the Migration Policy Institute."
...
This is, of course, outrageous, and it's happening in Democrat-run cities across the country. In 2021, New York City passed a measure allowing at least 800,000 illegal immigrants and other non-citizens to vote. It was struck down by a judge, and yet, Democrats in other cities — like D.C. — have pressed on with similar legislation.
"There is no statutory ability for the City of New York to issue inconsistent laws permitting noncitizens to vote and exceed the authority granted to it by the New York State Constitution," State Supreme Court Justice Ralph Porzio ruled last year, striking down the measure. "Though voting is a right that so many citizens take for granted, the City of New York cannot 'obviate' the restrictions imposed by the constitution."
Back in Washington, D.C., federally elected House Republicans voted to overturn the outrageous illegal voting bill that has yet to go through the court system.
"Today the House took the first step to prevent two of the D.C. Council's irresponsible and dangerous laws from going into effect. These misguided efforts would allow crime to run rampant and disenfranchise American citizens in our nation's capital," House Oversight Committee Chairman released in a statement about the move. "Our nation's capital city is in crisis, but the D.C. Council has prioritized radical bills that would embolden criminals to remain on the streets and allow noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, to vote in local elections. We must ensure that these terrible laws do not take effect. The Senate must take the next step so that we can protect the American people from the D.C. Council's path of destruction."
But while the Republican-controlled House voted to preserve the integrity of the vote by allowing only U.S. citizens to cast a ballot, the Democrat-controlled Senate is unlikely to do the same.
Republican Senator Tom Cotton, who introduced legislation last fall to block the D.C. law, is pointing out the absurdity of it all.
"The D.C. plan to let illegal immigrants vote is crazier than it sounds: Russian embassy staff will be able to vote in D.C. elections!" Cotton pointed out this week on Twitter. "And most Congressional Democrats support this."
They do support it, which is exactly why they support an open border with endless catch-and-release policies.
As the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border continues to rage, with thousands of illegal immigrants continuing to enter the country, falsely claiming asylum and enjoying a free, indefinite release into a U.S. community of their choice, Americans are asking why the Biden administration continues the damaging policy. We know why. They want these people voting – for Democrats.
Despite its current state, Washington, D.C., belongs to the American people — not to criminals, illegal immigrants and foreign spies. While Republicans are stepping up to return the city to its rightful owners, Democrats continue to embolden lawlessness in order to solidify their corrupt power and one-party rule. In the process, they're undermining the very "democracy" they claim to hold sacred.
This is an Election Insurrection and if we allow this to happen we will no longer have a Country.
This is no different than an Invasion by an attacking Army to take over our Country.
When will the Dim voter wake up??
Why do we keep saying "A ha, the Dems are trying to take over this country with illegal aliens."? We know this by now.
The question is, what are we going to do about it, and when?
The invasion from the southern border will continue. We can talk about it and complain loudly, but as long as the people controlling this country remain in power, the invasion will continue. It’s not a pleasant truth.
What makes you think that they ever will?
Good questions. The what depends on the when. Don’t expect anything to happen now while Democrats control the Senate and White Hut.
The Democrats (or, as I prefer to call them, the Rats) undermining democracy (to paraphrase the end of the piece). That’s one for the history books.
Even Schumer admitted it was intentional, to “Brown-up” the USA and give Democrats a permanent voting advantage.
When they hear these words “Mr White Liberal, Trump Hater, and RINO - your boxcar is ready for you and your family”.
We don't need to wait. We can fight them without violence right now, right this minute.
Cut the cord, and stop paying the leftists propaganda machine for the privilege of being entertained by them.
Status update? We used to use phones for that. Why make our enemies rich by using their platforms?
Need a product? Find alternatives to companies that are using our money against us. I have been able to do without them for over 20 years.
We still have the power, as in spending power. The question is, do we have the will to use it?
So declared Barack Obama in Columbia, Missouri, on Oct. 30, 2008, on the cusp of his historic presidential election.
The words “fundamentally transform” should have alarmed everyone....Bidens simply continuing Obamas Agenda...this "transformation" did not exist prior to Barack Obama’s ascent.
If this were a better world, desperate, elite, corrupt Democrats and RINOs struggling to stay in power with the illegal votes of undocumented Democrats would lose their offices under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment (14A) for open rebellion against the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause" imo.
More specifically, consider the following material from the congressional record by post-Civil War lawmakers concerned about anti-constitutional republic mischief by renegade states which we are now witnessing imo. The material is followed by Section 3 of 14A.
"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 [emphases 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.)
Excerpted from the 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 [emphases added]. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
The problem with Section 3 is that, although we're now aware of massive state and federal government corruption thanks to Trump, we still don't have a MAGA federal government that will do its duty to enforce that section.
Patriots, the bottom line is this imo. What is your threshold of “pain” for peacefully stopping unconstitutionally big state and federal governments controlled by bully, constitutionally undefined political parties, from oppressing the people under their boots?
The inevitable remedy for ongoing, post-17A ratification, corrupt political party treason (imo)...
All MAGA patriots need to wake up their RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.
If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.
If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.
With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.
In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term for what may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.
Trump will hopefully do another round of primarying RINOs for 2024 elections.
Pondering a thought I had some time ago but never commented:
I wonder, regarding all the ‘releases’ into the US, who gets the list of them and if said ‘releases’ might be inclined to be more willing to hand over their ballots to spanish-speaking ‘harvesters’ going down said list.
The level of action required to reverse this seems impossible to achieve under any leader, save for the obvious.
This may not turn out like the dems expect.
If the DEMOCRATS are more than happy to allow millions of illegal aliens to freely enter the USA, then it would not surprise me for the DEMOCRATS to let those illegal aliens to freely register to vote.
We know that we have far too many leftist Prosecuting Attorneys in the USA who will not prosecute non-citizens who vote.
Seditious conspiracy
