That’s why the bastard in the White Hut ordered a whole new population of easily controllable Marxist and Socialist losers from the President of Mehico.

they’re not coming from Mexico. Net migration to the USA ended over a decade ago.

They’re coming from countries further south and all over the world.

Biden hung out a sign to the whole. come here and destroy whitey.

I remember when the majority of white Americans voted for Barak Obama because it was going to unite the country and end racial divisiveness.

"Unfortunately, some in America are very uncomfortable with our ungovernable nature and our insistence on saying and doing what we want."

You can find them skulking around even on this site.

And why Deep State has to steal elections.

But that’s not ungovernable.

I think most of us recognize that fairly elected limited government is a necessary evil.

Now that I think about it, that’s not ungovernable.

It’s indomitable.

There is a difference, isn’t there...

Then his boy, the racist Eric the Holder came out and stated that Americans needed a whole new “conversation” about race behind the barn. FEH and the goat he rode in on.

The author of this piece is delusional.

Most Americans are only “ungovernable” when they think they: (1) have nothing to lose, and (2) will pay no price for openly defying government edicts and restrictions.

That’s why the most ungovernable people in this country tend to be leftist misfits and losers who can openly break the law without any fear of reprisal.

Did this author sleep through 2020 and 2021?

it isn’t that Americans are ungovernable...it’s that the typical American has a limit to how much bullqwap they will accept before making it go away.

Among other things, this is a call for Patriotic Americans to reinstsrate the U.S. Constitution as the Supreme law of the land (Art. IV, Cl. 2).

To recover and keep our political and economic freedom - our Free Constitutional Republic – We the American People must recover our only legal bulwark of freedom: the U.S. Constitution as written and originally understood and intended. In doing so, the American People would once again establish the Rule of Law which is essential to political freedom, by reinstating the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land.

To recover our Free Constitutional Republic, therefore, the average American must familiarize himself or herself with the Constitution and understand how it mainly limits the federal government. Below is an outline of a step-by-step approach for the average American to understand the Constitution.

1st Step. Take a brief look at the CONTEXT of the Constitution – the development of Anglo-American political thought and concepts leading up to the 1700’s.

2nd Step. Get a good grasp of the PRESUMPTIONS of the Constitution by reading the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, the Declaration of Independence and certain selected Federalist Papers. The major presumptions are

1) rights, freedoms, and powers are inherent in individuals, not government, and are given by God - among them are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. They are the God-given birth right of every individual and are NOT given nor taken away by government,

2) the Constitution does NOT grant rights and powers to individuals but the Constitution protects those rights which are God-given,

3) the powers of the federal government are CREATED and DELEGATED by individuals through the states via the Constitution. The Constitution is the CREATOR and LIMITER of the Federal Government,

4) if it is not a specific, enumerated power, it is not a power of the federal government whereas the opposite is true with the states and individuals. The states and the people are presumed SOVEREIGN outside of Constitutional mandates and limitations.

3rd Step. Understand the basic STRUCTURAL doctrines in the Constitution by reading resources with solid Constitutional-based reasoning like Robert Bork’s works. The Constitution creates the federal government and is its ONLY source of legitimate power and authority. The major structure of the feds is the three branches and the separation of powers between the branches with its checks & balances of power among the branches.

Article I creates the legislative branch, Article II creates the executive branch, Article III the judicial branch, Article IV puts certain limitations on the states, Article V outlines how to amend the Constitution, and Article VI declares the Constitution and ONLY those U.S. laws PURSUANT to the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land.

4th Step. Once you’ve got a hold of the presumptions and structure, you can READ THE TEXT of the Constitution with a basic understanding. For your convenience, a copy of the Constitution is on this website in the REFERENCE section.

5th Step. Understanding modern ALTERATIONS/PERVERSIONS that depart from the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended. Such perversions are generally those Congressional acts and SCOTUS decisions over the last 100 years or so that have given the feds sweeping, authoritative, and actually totalitarian powers with little to no constitutional reasoning or basis for doing so. The big three perversions plus a forth, are

1) “The Incorporation Doctrine” - judicial misapplication of the 14th Amendment giving the feds sweeping powers not contemplated by the ratifiers of the amendment who intended the 14th Amendment to be a post-Civil War Reconstruction Amendment establishing ex-slaves as full citizens, nothing more.

2) The [Interstate] “Commerce Clause” (Art I, Sec 8, Cl 3) astonishingly expanded by Congress and ratified by SCOTUS to give the feds almost unlimited power over intrastate and local economic activities again, not contemplated by the ratifiers of the Constitution.

3) The “Necessary and Proper Clause” (Art I, Sec 8, Cl 18), originally intended to allow executive enforcement and regulation (”necessary”) pursuant to legislation within the scope of the Constitution (”proper”), the N&P Clause has been expanded beyond constitutional grounds and limits by essentially knocking out the “proper” part of this clause to such an extent that a quasi-fourth branch of government has been created: the Regulatory/Administrative State with its behemoth unconstitutional regulatory bureaucracies.

4) The power and effect of the Supreme Court of the U.S. (SCOTUS) decisions. Society and the legal community have granted SCOTUS much greater power than what the ratifiers of the Constitution contemplated. Nowhere does the Constitution give SCOTUS power to create national law. SCOTUS, the judicial not legislative branch, is given power to decide INDIVIDUAL CASES and CONTROVERSIES (Art III, Sec 2). Thus SCOTUS decisions, if soundly based on the Constitution, are valid but limited to the parties of the case and any other case with the same questions of law and fact.

States and the other federal branches should not allow the scope of a SCOTUS decision to go beyond its constitutional limitations. Congress, as the legislative branch, is the only federal branch that has the power to make national law. Regarding the issues of a given case, if Congress so chooses, it can pass legislation as long as the law is pursuant to the Constitution. Meanwhile, SCOTUS as the judicial branch is limited to the case at hand and has no such sweeping legislative power.

A SCOTUS decision that is deemed unconstitutional should be rejected and nullified by the states and the other federal branches, but not without sound Constitution-based explanation and reasons for such nullification.

Post-1900 SCOTUS decisions are generally problematic while the pre-1900 decisions are better and more helpful in accurately interpreting constitutional phrases. There are very few good resources that critically analyze SCOTUS decisions based on sound constitutional understanding, and Bork’s books are one of those rare resources.

In 2020 I thought most Americans would be perfectly comfortable working as Nazi soldiers loading people into boxcars for transport to death camps.

By 2021 I realized I had it all wrong. There would be no need for Nazi soldiers in America because most Americans would be fighting with each other to be the first ones to climb into those boxcars themselves.

We are governable - we are just un-rule-able. Would-be dictators can’t tolerate that.

For those who do not understand the phenomenon of Donald Trump, what follows is a small essay explaining the chord he has struck in the American body politic, even among those who are not so sure about him.

He is ungovernable, and he reminds us that we are, too. And thank God we are, and are beginning to show signs of remembering this.

Esther 3

5. And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow, nor did him obeisance, then was Haman full of wrath:
6. And he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had told him the people of Mordecai; therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, the people of Mordecai:

Here's a special girl with astar on her forehead, and plenty of rope in hand:

She even won a beauty contest.

>>>

When Trump says Make America Great Again, he reminds us of who we were, who we are, and what we can yet become. He reminds us that we are different, and that because of that difference, we will not succumb to decay and despair. He reminds us of America’s reality and promise at the same time. We have it in us to roll up our sleeves and create ourselves and this nation, every day, all over again. He reminds us that we can do — we can fix it. We have done great things, and we can do great things again.

You know all of those folks who insist that "America is nowhere in Bible prophecy"?

It's like what Ricky Butler said about Mr. Peterson, who was this skeptic, grounded in "reality".

People don't want to believe that America is up to something good. 'Cuz if she were, they'd have to deal with it, right?

Genesis 1

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good --

ויּאמר אלהים יהי אור ויהי־אור׃ ויּרא אלהים את־האור כּי־ טוב

= 1776

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness --

ויּרא אלהים את־האור כּי־ טוב ויּבדּל אלהים בּין האור וּבין החשׁך׃

= 1776

(Overlapping on "And God saw the light, that it was good.")

It goes on and on, even from the first letter, but people don't want to believe that America is up to something good. 'Cuz if she were, they'd have to deal with it.

The Divine Provicen of God Almighty is taking a Hand, the same Hand that micaruclouly birthed our nation will now miraculously recover our Free Constitutional Repuiblic.

Soon after that, He will come for his own to take them out of the earth and into Heaven.

After that, all bets are off and the world plunges into true horror from which they will not escape.

Good time to receive Jesus if you haven’t yet.

title and what was posted, is not accurate. We should not thank God we are ungovernable. He made us with free will. We get to choose His way or our own. So in a sense we can say we are ungovernable, but in God’s word, it’s best we self govern and choose to follow Him, not just be ungovernable human beings doing as we wish and separated from God.

Over the years, there has been a lot of material published about America and Britain in Bible prophecy. Much of it is built upon the work of historians and their migration theories, along with convincing explanations and 'proof' texts to 'prove'.

What's claimed in the link you provided I do not know (I don't have unlimited time to read and examine everything that I'd like to), but unfortunately there's often a seed, or an entire orchard of replacement theology. Or just plain sketchy interpretations that come from somewhere.

Enough across the board, that the whole concept has become tainted and generally rejected outright, even when truth is revealed in plain sight in real-time, "Ahas-Я-US" epiphany-style.

That said, I'll offer that in the verifiable Historical Documents that everyone knows from their own lifetimes, the message is that "no one is getting replaced."

You can watch that in the place where the two Sabras are together on one thorny bush in the desert. It's quite the ground-level view!

Go Beyond!

Can you believe that the USPS issued that stamp series on Aug 3, 2022?

Right here it states that it was a date in *Jewish* History, with a lone historical data point for that big day in *Jewish* history.

🤔

I am reminded of the annual searches for the spirit of Houdini (a Jewish soul). Nobody is ever able to make contact with his spirit, despite the annual Halloween séances, even with all of the incantations and mystical woo-woo.

Houdini was keen to expose the frauds, so this comes as no surprise. They are all doing it wrong because they are not serious people.

In the true spirit of Houdini -- who insisted that his work was accomplished by natural means (unlike the self-anointed mediums who claimed to have special powers) -- this is quite doable. Already done, in fact.

Americans Are Ungovernable...Thank God
