John Adams wrote “The Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other…”

Are modern day ‘Mercuns being vetted as moral and religious (I did not say perfect)?

Similarly, are the 7.2 million the current administration has welcomed into the country been vetted the same way?

If not, then it follows that since the citizens as well as the President’s guests refuse to be a moral and religious people, how long can we live under the fantasy we can continue to be a free people?

And if no longer a free people, the only alternative is dictatorship/ oligarchy/ kingdom /living as slaves.

Last night while America slept
Congress was hard at work, passing a bill to ensure everyone was kept
Clothed by spending $400k to ensure confused kids can be bound and tucked
If this is the priority in Washington these days, the country is f**ked

I asked my Congressman today
Meeting with farmers to ensure they thrive
Where in the Constitution was he given the right. If it doesn’t, are you not connive
-ing while ignoring the Supreme Law of the Land? The first response was ‘Whatever. Come What May…’

Then we are not a free country
as the government does what it wants. Is this the tree
we want to grow? An ever-encroaching tyrant
By admitting so, you are no different than a sycophant

You see you live in liberty
Where you live in the land of the free
Or you can be oppressed as most of the world have been
If you don’t recognize this simple truth, you’re not thinking but simply listening to the din
Of your owners.

They started over a hundred years ago
Giving you a little tastes of being owned and you bought it. I’m sorry if my rant is making you feel low
Rather than being angry with me rather than refusing to be used again
You should focus your anger on who deserves your retaliation –
the legislature, the executors and the courts.

A few years ago in the largest Congressional district in the land
500 Montanans decided they had enough of a rogue Representative
They began to share his voting record and views with all of the state
Within six months this Representative realized his fate
And accordingly began to follow the Law of the Land.

You see it isn’t that hard to make ‘Merca the home of the brave and free
All you need is to show the government they are the people’s employees, that’s how it’s supposed to be
It’s not voting every year or two that’ll make a difference
It’s writing, speaking and facing them belly-to-belly. If they refuse to listen and be that dense
You can make them a lame duck representative until the next election or impeach the sucker
It’s about taking action, not just hoping we get luckier

But before you go off half-cocked
Learn the Constitution, the Declaration and Understand what the Federalist papers. If you know these you cannot be mocked
When you know the law better than your representatives, your senators, your counsel and governor
Then you can give me a big “What-for”
Government is in business for YOUR money and taking your power
While the Constitution says ‘stick it to the government’ and things will grow like a field of flowers
It’s YOUR money and the government is you – WE THE PEOPLE

While perusing some news this afternoon, I came across the following headline:

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson raises eyebrows with comment that First Amendment “hamstrings” government

This should raise more than eyebrows. First off, it should send major warnings to such Constitutional scholars as Barack Obama as well as President Biden as her statement reflects she is not someone who can perform her duties as a member of SCOTUS.

Secondly, her oath of office as recommended by Article VI of the Constitution states

“The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

The oath currently reads:

“I, ________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

In short, Justice Brown-Jackson says she does not support the Constitution.

Nor it is her duty or privilege to amend the Constitution. Although courts decide how law should be interpreted in a specific case, their ruling is not law.

A judge’s ruling only becomes law through the legislative branch, both House and Senate, voting to amend the law or to write a new one. As a result, it is very bad precedent for any judge to comment how they would rule given a set of circumstances, especially one which would subvert the Constitution by legislating from the bench.

As I have stated many times, today’s fruit produced by the tree of freedom planted in 1776 and provided massive growth nutrients in 1789 by the passing of the Constitution, seems to have fallen on a different continent – it is that far from home.

Americans would do well to ‘hamstring’ government by voting only for Constitutionalists from this time forward. By doing so, the American Republic may once again produce fruit.

But should you care to shrug your shoulders, vote for the person who gives you the most stuff, and generally ignore what your government is doing to you daily, you should get my book (because you will need it). It’s entitled Prospering in a Socialist Society and you can obtain a copy by clicking on the title.

The number of people I know
Who believe the only way for the USA will continue to grow
Is to have a Convention of States
Which doesn’t exist – if you believe it does, you’ve taken the bait

You see, in the Constitution there is
Something called a Constitutional Convention. Yes, that’s what the COS truly is
An Article V Convention by another term
These advocates of such think this is the only way to create a berm
To reign in an over-reaching, tyrannical government – that seems to be a common goal on which we stand firm

Did you know when an Article V Convention is called
Congress determines the delegates. Just this should make you feel appalled
The wolves in sheep’s clothing on Capitol Hill
Get to choose who guards the sheep fold. Isn’t that a tough pill
to swallow

Americans in the know realize there is no need for Article V
‘Cause with an educated citizenry, we’d soon stop what those on the Hill connive
If those in office fail to abide by their Oath of Office and abide by the law of the land
Throw the buggers out! Recall them! Don’t let them continue in error! Strike Up the Band!!!
In short, hold our elected officials and the bureaucracy accountable or soon they will be canned

The Constitution gives us a second weapon that is Article VI
Known also as Nullification. Using this would be quite a fix.
Living in Cincinnati you should be aware
Lebanon, Ohio used Nullification prior to a 2022 SCOTUS ruling, throwing off the bear
Making the city a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. Amazin’ how few cities seem to care
for these little ones by doing the same thing.

Michigan recently voted to nullify all Federal regulations on firearms
No changes to the Constitution, no election held, simply people of the land protecting their farms
No need for alarm
Michigan was simply using Article VI. A brilliant idea within the Constitution. Isn’t that a charm?

In closing, my message is clear
Those wanting COS are either ignorant or they are stirring up fear
Having a no-holds barred Convention to amend
The Constitution which, should we abide by it, would be the only weapon needed to fend
Off a tyrannical, over-reaching government. Do this and the country will be on the mend.

It is interesting to have a governor of a sovereign state within the United States (New York) declare that  business owners in her state that there is “nothing to worry about” after the civil case against Donald Trump.

Asked if businesspeople should be worried that if prosecutors could “do that to the former president, they can do that to anybody”, Hochul said: “Law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are businesspeople have nothing to worry about because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior.” (New York governor seeks to quell business owners’ fears after Trump ruling | Donald Trump | The Guardian)

Where’s the victim? There is none.

Where’s the fraud? There was none.

Where did Donald Trump’s organization do anything different than any other real estate developer virtually anywhere in the United States? He didn’t.

But America has to thank Kathy Hochul for being the first governor in the United States to admit there is no longer a Republic or a Constitution or a government where the government gets their just powers from the consent of the governed.

No, Donald Trump was different, she claims. Allow me to translate.

There is no longer blind justice in the United States of America. If you offend or upset the wrong people, they will come for you.

To me, this sounds like something out of Mao’s China or Cuba or North Korea. I’ll stretch just a little and say it sounds like something out of Russia.

I’m confused. I thought Trump was Putin’s buddy.

Instead, Governor Hochul’s stance suggests she is marching in lockstep with Russia’s ancestors – Vlad, Josef, Nikita, Leonid, and to a lesser extent, Mikhail.

Instead of a Black National anthem or the Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl, this is what we should have sung. Come sing with me, Comrade Hochul…

I
An unbreakable union of free republics,
The Great Rus’ has sealed forever.
Long live, the creation by the people’s will,
The united, mighty Soviet Union!

Chorus I:
Be glorified, our free motherland,
Reliable stronghold of the people’s friendship!
Banner of the Soviets, the banner of the people,
May it lead from victory to victory!

II
Through storms, the sun of freedom shone on us,
And Great Lenin illuminated our path.
Stalin taught us to be faithful to the people,
To labor and achievements, we were inspired!

Chorus II:
Be glorified, our free motherland,
Reliable stronghold of the people’s happiness!
Banner of the Soviets, the banner of the people,
May it lead from victory to victory!

III
We raised our Army in battles,
And swept the vile invaders from the path!
In battles, we determine the fate of generations,
We bring glory to our Fatherland!

Chorus III:
Be glorified, our free motherland,
Reliable stronghold of the people’s glory!
Banner of the Soviets, the banner of the people,
May it lead from victory to victory!

Should you realize the gulag awaiting you in 2026 or 2029, you may wish to understand Prospering in a Socialist Society, a guidebook I’ve written to provide strategies on exactly how to do so.

As I was glancing through various news feeds and posts this afternoon, I noticed my congressman was ranting about the Border resolution bill.

Specifically, this is what Greg wrote on his social media account:

“I spoke about my absolute disbelief and genuine disgust with what the Speaker did Tuesday night.

“My colleagues and I attempted to amend this bill to include aid to all three. We were denied. But we will keep fighting to fund Ukraine, Tawain, and humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza.

“This is what the American people want, what our global partners need, and it’s what this moment requires of us.”

This short post reflects Greg’s obvious failure of high school civics class, as follows:

Greg notes the American people want to continue funding Ukraine, Taiwan as well as humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza.

Nowhere in the Supreme law of the land is the Federal government given the privilege to fund foreign governments, for the purposes of funding proxy wars or providing military protection for any nation.

The United States military is for one reason – to protect the United States of America, not to be the world’s policeman. Nor is it to be used to determine what nations are ‘winners and losers’ from an economic, political or other standpoint.

Additionally, acting to provide the American people what they want is not the purpose of the government. “If the government is to be a Sugar Daddy,” I noted, “send me $90 million. That’s what I want so it’s your job to be Santa Claus or my Sugar Daddy and give it to me.”

Rather Congress is to act in accordance with the limitations given them by the Constitution.

Two can’t have both, Greg. Either you are my Sugar Daddy, so I expect my check shortly, or you are following the law which limits you severely. You cannot hand out whatever you decide to hand out.

In November, we get to decide whether we want to have Sugar Daddies that dole out the allowance they decide to give us when they determine it best for them or have a country based on the principles of liberty. Again, you cannot have both.

Greg’s lack of understanding of our nation led me to thenewamerican.com/freedom-index/ which publishes the voting record of each Senator and Representative at the state as well as federal level. I wanted to see how well Greg was embracing the Supreme law of the land.

Well, Greg votes in accordance with a strict interpretation of the Constitution only 5% of the time, I learned. That’s down from a 15% I noticed a few months ago.

Now, personally, I don’t think Americans should wait until the next election to rid themselves of individuals who ignore the directives and confines of their job description. They should be fired immediately and a special election called to replace the deadbeat.

But, you argue, there would probably be several hundred special elections over the next couple of years. True.

Which means America would depend much less of the government when Congress doesn’t have enough people available to make a quorum. But, in my opinion, that’s much better than keeping Congress functioning and marching the country to oblivion.

Lastly, you may wish to learn how to Prosper in a Socialist Society, which is a book I wrote recently detailing the same. In it, I provide several case studies of individuals who thrived while living in tyranny.

This morning I read the Biden Administration has welcomed 6.2 million illegals into the United States over the past three years.

It’s obvious they do not desire to honor their Oath of Office and protect the country against invasion. So I have a solution that is EASY and rather inexpensive.

First, We the People, working with our County Sheriffs, arrest the illegals in the county.
Second, they are taken care of while the sheriff arranges for transportation to the nation’s capitol, Washington, DC.
Thirdly, We the People deliver 6 million illegals to DC as well as Joe Biden’s places of residence, stating, “You wanted them, so here they are.”
Fourthly, WE the PEOPLE stand guard against these illegals being shipped by car, truck, bus, boat or train to other parts of the country. If the government wants to fly these 6 million elsewhere, that is their perogative. Keep in mind flight plans must be filed with the FAA so WE the PEOPLE will know where the plane is landing. Simply take the illegals, put them back on various mode of transport back to DC and Biden’s hometown.

WE the PEOPLE ARE the government. Are we acting like it?

Today was Day 16 of a class I have been taking. While the sessions have been insightful, today’s was the pinnacle (so far).

Have you ever had someone tell you “You can’t do that” or “That’ll never happen”.

According to several studies I have seen over the years, most of what we hear is negative. From “why can’t you get the grades your brothers do” to “Shut Up” to “Just be quiet” to more, the feedback we receive from others is overwhelming.

Conversely, I recall a friend from about 30 years ago who, although we had our disagreements, always ‘put the best construction on everything.’

Getting back to today, as I said, was the pinnacle of the class to date (although I still have 8 classes to go). This guru purposefully challenged the students to think an important goal, then attacked that goal using comments similar to the above. From there, he asked what each student’s initial response to this attack was.

A few students said “Watch Me” while others put a “F*** You” in front of behind the watch me. Why did he do this? In most people’s minds, they see the attack as a challenge and appropriately rise to that challenge – ultimately succeeding.

A few years ago we had a President tell America that her best days were behind her and we must realize austerity was the future. But a former actor challenged that attack as the world witnessed America collectively say “Watch Me.”

Twenty seven years later, we had a Presidential candidate say almost the same words. Yet a loud, sometimes obnoxious real estate titan repeated the words of that actor, demonstrating another “Watch Me” moment.

Today we have another President using similar language to two former Presidents, betting against America once again. Yet we have another former President saying “Watch me” if you want a repeat performance from 7 years ago.

Is America up for the challenge once again, or will it decline into another footnote in the book of World History. The choice is yours.

You can either say with the real estate titan “Watch Me” or you can learn how to Prosper In A Socialist Society by clicking here.

freaking WONDERFUL!!! I say KILL the Democracy – we don’t have one anyway so my comment is mute.

The USA has never been a Democracy. It’s a Republic.

Even the ancient Greeks knew how shitting DEMOCRACY is and how violent its ending. Democracy is transitory.

There are only two forms of government, ultimately – an oligarchy and a Republic. All other forms of government are an iteration of these two or are a transitory situation, like anarchy or democracy.

Is this a new pharmaceutical company coming out with a new #vaccine, similar to Elon Musk’s #SpaceX? Is this a marketing company to sell the world on the next ‘plandemic’? Will DiseaseY and DiseaseZ follow DiseaseX?

I wonder how many people will recognize the BS-X this time around and stand in resistanceX. Conversely, how many will join the ranks of ChickenLittleX and demand the world locks down, stops growing food and begins to consume SoylentGreenX to save the world from themselves.

Personally, a think a little ‘jab, jab, jab, right hook’X should be gifted to the scientists, politicians and others who ‘sell’ DiseaseX on a consistent basis.

Here endeth my rant of the day.
