(Jun. 5, 2023) — It is unclear at this time who is behind the circulating stories since early March 2023 with disinformation about Ron DeSantis’s mother Karen Ann (nee Rogers) DeSantis’ birth location. The disinformation articles claim she was born in Poland and later moved with her parents to the USA. See the articles here and here. But that statement per my genealogy research is not true. Most of these sites are not allowing comments to counteract the false information therein. They seem to want it to spread unimpeded and unchallenged. Note: These “clever disinformation use of the place name...

(May 31, 2023) — The Democrats and complicit Republicans fear Trump mostly because he is the only candidate who openly said he does not believe Obama is eligible and that Obama is an identity fraud. Trump is correct. That is a big deal because both parties did nothing to stop Obama from being sworn in, meaning both parties committed treason and must now protect Obama and others who could lead to Obama to protect themselves. In my view, this was and is obvious, clear and easy to understand from day one, and the actions and inaction of both parties have...

(May 25, 2023) — The biography in the 1991 pamphlet published by the Acton and Dystel literary agency promoting Obama’s 1991 book “Journeys in Black and White” stated Barack Obama “was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii”. Said early life details are always provided by the author to his agent. The Obama biography in subsequent editions of the pamphlets (with various life accomplishment updates) continued to say he was “born in Kenya” for 17 years until Obama entered the race for President and his backers and enabling media started the “clean up ” and online purge of...

(May 8, 2023) — The 2024 presidential election cycle is now underway with a few candidates having already declared their candidacy. Presidential candidates now are required to file the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) Financial Disclosure Form 278e with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) within 30 days of declaring their candidacy. From my experience and from the experience of others who have contacted me with questions about various candidates, several of the candidates are not being responsive to this author and others when sent questions regarding their full life narrative, background, and family history. Their tactic seems to be to...

(Apr. 15, 2023) — The key sentence in the original 1758 French edition written by Vattel: “Les naturels, ou indigénes, sont ceux qui sont nés dans le pays, de parents citoyens.” First let’s do a direct translation of the key sentence using this online French to English site: https://translate.yandex.com/?source_lang=fr&target_lang=en&text=Les%20naturels%2C%20ou%20indigenes%2C%20sont%20ceux%20qui%20sont%20nes%20dans%20le%20pays%2C%20de%20parents%20citoyens The key sentence translated to English by that online translation site is: “The natural, or indigenous, are those who were born in the country, from citizen parents.” ... continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2023/04/15/my-translation-of-a-key-sentence-in-emer-de-vattels-1758-treatise-on-natural-law-in-section-212-des-citoyens-et-naturels/

(Mar. 31, 2023) — With the 100% politically-motivated “ham sandwich” and concocted indictment of President Trump announced yesterday, the District Attorney for the Borough of Manhattan – one Alvin (“No Neck”) Bragg, whose campaign for the office received a cool $1,000,000 from a PAC funded by radical leftist billionaire George Soros – can now “brag” that he has moved the borough one step closer to becoming the Banana Republic of Manhattan. Quite apart from the rancid ham sandwich Bragg has extracted from his grand jury, Manhattan’s crime rate now rivals even some of the more legitimately dangerous banana “republics” of...

(Mar. 31, 2023) — To begin, I remind you of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office emblem displayed on the home page of your office’s website with the following motto: “ONE STANDARD OF JUSTICE FOR ALL.” No comment needed from me, is there? By the way, I am not a “white supremacist domestic terrorist.” Nor am I a racist. To the contrary, I am a military veteran, a retired (30+ years) law enforcement officer, and a believer that all men and women are made equal. That, however, is only the beginning. Here are the kinds of things that come next. Permit...

(Mar. 27, 2023) — Introduction Paraphrasing Third Reich Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels: “If you are going to tell a lie, make it a big one, as no one will believe a small one, and repeat it over and over, because eventually people will come to accept it as the truth.” For purposes of this offering, however, let us label the careless but “presumptively” non-malicious use of words leading to false or erroneous conclusions and the intentional omission of facts and words to be similar to, but something short of actual “lies.” The current analogous term would be “misinformation.” For...

(Mar. 18, 2023) — The Constitution requires the president to be a “natural born citizen”. However, the term is not defined in the Constitution. Neither has a law or court ruling been made more exactly delineating the constraints of the term. The purpose of this post is not to re-hash the arguments about what “natural born citizen” means, but to outline a process that generates a legal standard for how it is enforced. The States are key to this process. This proposal is to have one or more states enforce via legislation the implementation of the requirement in their state,...

An article on citizenship kinds, especially for St. Patrick’s Day (Mar. 18, 2023) — (17 Mar 2023) — Regarding the term “natural born citizen” (NBC) in our U.S. Constitution’s presidential eligibility clause and Principles of Natural Law, it is not a very limited club and category of citizenship. In fact it is exactly the opposite. NBCs are the most common, garden variety, most populous group or kind of citizenship that exists in a typical nation and is typically by far the most populous kind, group, or class of citizenship in virtually all nations. Thus in our United States, we have...

(Feb. 15, 2023) — As she suggested in recent interviews, on Tuesday former United Nations Ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nimrata Nikki Haley (R) announced she will seek the 2024 Republican nomination for president. Earlier this month multiple sources reported Haley would officially launch her campaign on February 15, an event scheduled for 11:00 a.m. Wednesday in Charleston, SC, CNBC reported Tuesday. As an apparent Trump loyalist at the time, Haley had pledged not to seek the nomination if Trump himself were a candidate. Trump declared his 2024 candidacy on November 15. ... continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2023/02/15/haley-announces-ramaswamy-may-seek-nomination/

Nikki Haley fails the three legged stool test! (Jan. 30, 2023) — Both of Nikki Haley’s parents were not U.S. Citizens when Nikki was born. Nikki Haley was born to a Citizen of India father (minus one stool leg) and to a Citizen of India mother (minus the 2nd stool leg). The normal path to becoming a naturalized U.S. Citizen takes five years. Nikki Haley was born in 1972 . Her father and mother emigrated from India to Canada and then to the USA in 1969. Thus there was not sufficient time for either of Nikki’s parents to become naturalized...

(Dec. 15, 2022) — What if your humble servant were to reveal something here at The P&E which could, once and for all, put an end to “natural born Citizen” (“nbC”) debate raging in the comments sections of numerous posts here? What if recently-discovered “hard” evidence – in the form of a letter from John Jay to David Brearley, Chairman of the “Committee on Postponed Matters” at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 – was produced? And what if that letter confirmed the intent of the Founders to rely on § 212 of Emmerich de Vattel’s treatise The Law of Nations...

(Nov. 22, 2022) — On Sunday and Monday, for those following him on Twitter, Barack Obama’s purported older half-brother Malik caused quite a stir. On Sunday at one point, he tweeted a graphic of the cover of a book he published in 2020 titled, “Big Bad Brother from Kenya.” On the same day, however, he suggested he and Barack are not brothers. The tweet gained the attention of WheresObamasBirthCertificate.com founder Mike Volin, who pointed it out to CDR Charles F. Kerchner, Jr. In a responsive blog post, Kerchner featured not only the tweet, but also his related research into the...

(Jun. 3, 2022) — Toward the end of Tuesday’s edition of Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL1) told host Tucker Carlson that a “whistleblower” informed him that for at least a decade, the FBI has maintained a “working space” within the Washington, DC office of the international law firm Perkins Coie. Not only did the FBI have its “working space” at the firm, Gaetz said, but the arrangement was also “operated” by then-Perkins Coie attorney Michael Sussmann, who earlier Tuesday was acquitted by a Washington, DC jury on one count of lying to the FBI. Sussmann’s...

This paper on Birthright Citizenship was brought to my attention by a researcher of citizenship law. Some key excerpts pointed out by him are herewith shared. You can get a copy and read the full paper via the link . PDF document p. 14: In McKay v. Campbell, the U.S. District Court for the district of Oregon considered whether the plaintiff could be deemed a U.S. citizen, and should be allowed to vote. The defendants argued that McKay was British, since he was the child of a British subject, and had been born at a point when Britain and the...

(Feb. 12, 2022) — Here are a few questions related to why both parties panicked when Donald Trump defeated the planned-and-promised-in-2008-after-Obama cover president, Hillary Clinton: Why did Democrats and many Republicans panic when Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016? Would they have reacted the same if some other Republican had defeated Hillary? There is more than one answer, but consider this which applied to only one Republican candidate, Donald Trump. Private citizen Donald Trump, you may remember, offered the putative president Barack Hussein Obama $5 million to show his passport and school records, with the money to go to...

Upon reading special counsel John Durham’s 27-page indictment of attorney Michael Sussman, I found myself asking, “Is there anything Perkins Coie lawyers would not do to keep their Democratic clients in power?” Thanks to Durham, we know they launched a cyberwar against candidate Donald Trump that makes their work on the Steele dossier seem half-hearted. What we need to know is whether their work in producing Barack Obama’s birth certificate was any more legit than these other misadventures. As to Sussman, he stands accused of lying to the FBI, “to wit, on or about September 19, 2016, the defendant stated...
