All together now. Shout it loud and strong with conviction.
The Democrat party is working out a way to “DISENFRANCHISE” YOUR VOTE. As a responsible patriot, you took the time to vote in the primary of your state. You let your voice be heard. Your expression of choice firmly established in your ballot. Now, because the DNC no longer believes that President Biden, your choice, your vote, your desire, is no longer of any value, and are searching for ways to “DISENFRANCHISE” YOUR VOTE.
You’re correct. It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. But they told you that doesn’t matter to them with all the highly illegal lawfare they’ve been involved with these last three years.
Oh, by the way, The United States of America was formed as a “REPUBLIC”, NOT A “DEMOCRACY”. During their deliberations, the decision was made early to avoid a democracy at all costs. You see, a democracy is 51% of the people controlling the 49%: Mob Rule.
A Republic is a government controlled by the citizens who hire representatives to vote as they desire to form laws that benefit all the people. A Republic is equal to all, regardless of the size of the State. Democracy pits the majority, against the minority, and uses mob violence to enforce mob rule.
When you think about the last three years, you’ll recall all the mob violence that has occurred. Remember the uneasiness, the fright, the fear, the uncertainty of what life was going to be? Yeah. Not good. Democracy relies on that kind of “control by fear”. Did you notice who refused to do anything about that violence?
Well, now they’ve made the decision to do what they’ve incorrectly told you the Republicans want to do. They are looking for ways to “DISENFRANCHISE” YOUR VOTE.
We don’t want that. We hold to the Constitution as the framers intended. You’re always welcomed here.
One of Minnesota’s fastest-growing high school sports is in danger of becoming too expensive for its athletes if a bill circulating in the state House and Senate comes to pass.
Shooting league calls DFL bill an ‘attack on a school-approved activity they don’t like
Sen. Jen McEwen, DFL-Duluth, says SF3792 is focused on keeping youth shooting athletes and the environment safe from lead-based ammunition. One of Minnesota’s fastest growing high school sports is in danger of becoming too expensive for its athletes if a bill circulating in the state House and Senate comes to pass. That’s according to organizers for the USA Clay Target League who say a proposal sponsored by a handful of DFL legislators that would ban lead-based ammunition would “more than double” the costs of ammunition for trap shooting athletes and result in many no longer being able to afford the sport.

It is now abundantly clear that the Democrats and Biden are using lawfare to remove their political opposition, mainly Trump and his supporters. All the indictments are from hardcore leftists within the justice system.
LAWFARE: Trump Posts $91.6 Million Bond to Appeal E. Jean Carroll Defamation Judgment
By Cristina Laila – March , 2024
President Trump on Friday posted a $91.6 million bond as he appeals the E. Jean Carroll judgment. The money will be returned to Trump if he wins his appeal. Judge Lewis Kaplan, a Clinton appointee on Thursday denied Trump’s second request to delay paying Carroll.
In January, a 9-person jury ordered Trump to pay a total of $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll for statements he made defending himself against false rape accusations. The Trump team argued that the evidence Carroll deleted proves that she was receiving threats before President Trump ever commented on her allegations. Judge Kaplan defended Carroll and said Trump offered no evidence that he ever attempted to recover the deleted messages. READ MORE…

The Difference Between a Democracy and a Republic
If you ask Americans to name their country’s form of government, most of them will say they live in a democracy. However, the real answer is more complicated (and unexpected) than that. Robert George, Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, explains.

With two months to go until the midterm elections, President Joe Biden has declared that former President Donald Trump and many of his supporters are a threat to “the very foundations of our republic” in a speech that critics derided as an attack on American citizens.
In a speech Thursday evening at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Biden noted that the venue served as the location where “the United States Constitution was written and debated.” He noted that “this is where we set in motion the most extraordinary experiment of self-government the world has ever known,” creating a society based on “equality and democracy.”
Warning that “equality and democracy are under assault,” Biden declared that “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” The term “MAGA” refers to Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.”
“Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans,” he clarified. “Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology.”
“I know because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans,” Biden continued. “But there’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.”
“MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election.”
Biden warned that “MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards — backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love.” This portion of the speech indirectly refers to the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 24 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which ruled that the U.S. Constitution did not contain a right to abortion and thereby reversed the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationwide.
While the Dobbs decision itself outraged Democrats and pro-abortion activists, critics of the ruling also expressed concern about Justice Clarence Thomas’ concurring opinion in Dobbs describing the doctrine of substantive due process that underpinned the Roe decision as “demonstrably erroneous” and suggesting that the court should “reconsider” all rulings based on that principle. He specifically mentioned the rulings declaring rights to same-sex marriage and contraception as constitutional rights.
While Thomas expressed an openness to examine “whether other constitutional provisions guarantee the myriad rights that our substantive due process cases have generated,” Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives passed measures to codify the rights to same-sex marriage and contraception into federal law. The bills still await action in the U.S. Senate.
Biden continued his speech by contending that Trump and “MAGA Republicans” support “authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.” According to Biden, “They look at the mob that stormed the United States Capitol on Jan. 6th — brutally attacking law enforcement — not as insurrectionists who placed a dagger to the throat of our democracy, but they look at them as patriots.”
Biden argued that the “soul of America is defined by the sacred proposition that all are created equal in the image of God” and that “all are entitled to be treated with decency, dignity, and respect.” He also urged people to “vote, vote, vote” in the upcoming midterm elections, stressing that “we need everyone to do their part.”
Additionally, the president suggested that “if we do our duty in 2022 and beyond, then ages still to come will say we — all of us here — we kept the faith” and “preserved democracy.” The implication was that voting for Democrats in the midterms was necessary to preserve democracy.
“We just need to remember who we are. We are the United States of America. The United States of America,” he concluded. “May God protect our nation. And may God protect all those who stand watch over our democracy. God bless you all.”
The speech received much criticism from conservative commentators and Republican politicians, among them Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
“Angry man smears half of the people of the country he is supposed to lead & promised to unite,” tweeted Rubio, getting nearly 13,000 likes by Friday morning.

Kathryn Jean Lopez of National Review objected to Biden’s inclusion of abortion opponents in his definition of MAGA Republicans, viewing it as pandering to pro-choice groups.
“If the president actually wanted to unite, he wouldn’t have attacked Americans who believe abortion is the civil-rights issue of our lives. He wouldn’t have mentioned contraception (no one is taking it away — it’s a scare tactic, and it’s a cynical, underhanded attack on the likes of the Little Sisters of the Poor, on conscience rights),” wrote Lopez.’
“I could have agreed with much that he said — about the election results, about division and anger and violence — if he hadn’t made sure to make Planned Parenthood happy during the speech. They are purveyors of violence and ought to be renamed UnParenthood.”
Franklin Graham, the president of the Christian charity Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, also condemned Biden’s speech in a lengthy Facebook post: “Tonight President Biden said that MAGA threatens the very foundation of our republic. Really? I want to see America great again. I want to see America as a leader, as a place for people who desire liberty and justice for all. I don’t want to see this country turned into a socialist country.”
“Does believing in freedom, justice, opportunity, less taxes, and smaller government make me an extremist? Absolutely not. The ones who are extremists are the ones who want to take that away from us!” he added. “President Biden is trying to vilify and demean conservative, freedom-loving Americans who do not support the failing and economically unsound policies of his administration. This is just further dividing our nation.”
Graham insisted that “America can only have true greatness through God,” adding “The blessings of this nation have come from the hand of God.” He maintained that “We need to turn to Him” because “We need His help, His direction, and His healing.”
Criticism of the speech extended beyond political opponents of the president. Brianna Keilar of CNN took issue with the optics of the Biden speech, specifically that he had U.S. Marines behind him as he spoke.
“Whatever you think of this speech the military is supposed to be apolitical. Positioning Marines in uniform behind President Biden for a political speech flies in the face of that. It’s wrong when Democrats do it. It’s wrong when Republicans do it,” she tweeted.

Biden’s speech in Philadelphia came 68 days before the 2022 midterm elections that will determine control of the U.S. Congress for the next two years. The president’s approval rating has been consistently underwater over the past year, although it has rose slightly in recent weeks. As of Friday morning, the RealClearPolitics average of polls measuring presidential approval showed that 42.0% of Americans approve of Bidens job performance compared to 54.8% who disapprove.
Since presidential approval often plays an outsized role in determining the outcome of midterm elections, political observers have expected Republicans to do well in the upcoming midterms. The FiveThirtyEight Deluxe Model, which predicts the outcome of elections based on “polls, fundraising, past voting patterns” as well as experts political analysis gives Republicans a 75% chance of taking control of the U.S. House of Representatives while giving Democrats a 68% chance of keeping control of the U.S. Senate as of Friday morning.
All 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are on the ballot this year along with 35 of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate. Democrats currently have a narrow majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and a 50-50 majority in the U.S. Senate, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote in favor of the Democrats.
Over the past several months, Republicans have consistently maintained a narrow lead on the generic ballot, which asks voters which party they would like to control Congress. However, the generic ballot has tightened over the summer and the RealClearPolitics average of polls asking voters for their preferences in the midterms shows Democrats with an extremely narrow 0.1% lead as of Friday morning.

The History of Propaganda
Propaganda is today most often used in reference to political statements, but the word comes to our language through its use in a religious context. The Congregatio de propaganda fide (“Congregation for propagating the faith”) was an organization established in 1622 by Pope Gregory XV as a means of furthering Catholic missionary activity. The word propaganda is from the ablative singular feminine of propogandus, which is the gerundive of the Latin propagare, meaning “to propagate.” The first use of the word propaganda (without the rest of the Latin title) in English was in reference to this Catholic organization. It was not until the beginning of the 19th century that it began to be used as a term denoting ideas or information that are of questionable accuracy as a means of advancing a cause.

In the hands of gifted people, terminology can be used for good purposes, as well as deceptive purposes. Of course, you already knew that. It’s part of the bases for propaganda.
Public Office speech writers are expert in these areas. The command of the English Language seems to be found more with professional speech writers that America’s general population. Sad commentary.
Left alone, the rhetoric produced by political parties begin to create a populace that believe more lies than truth. In political terms, we are called “low information voters.” More accurately, we have become deluded citizens. Deluded to what is truth. Left unchecked, tyrannical slavery is just around the corner.
These facts make what prompted this article. The terminology in question is heard daily on any news program, especially cable news. That terminology is, “MAGA Republicans want to destroy (or tear down) our democracy.”
It began around the 2016 general election, and has been amplified to overwhelming proportions. This terminology is as dangerous as it is deliberately deceiving.
First of all, we are not now, nor have we ever been, a DEMOCRACY. The framers of our Constitution were deliberate in that decision. A democracy is mob rule. 51% of the population controlling/oppressing the 49%. That is why our Forefathers gave us a REPUBLIC, more accurately, a Representative Republic in order to ensure Americans are never oppressed by anyone, any political party or force. To further enhance, and guarantee the success of the REPUBLIC, they gave us the “Electoral College” in our national elections that ensures all states, regardless of size, has equal say, insuring every vote counts and matters.
President Biden’s speech writers use the term a lot. You heard it multiple times last night in the speech. In fact, we who have a differing set of opinions, are a threat to the democracy President Biden and the Left want in America: Totalitarian rule by mob. (Reference summer of 2020 leading up to November 8th. Multiple mobs of violent people burning down portions of America and threatening every American who disagreed with them).
I want to maintain our REPUBLIC. I want to do whatever I can, legally and morally correct, to stop all efforts to turn America into RULE BY MOB DEMOCRACY. How about you?
On Nov. 4, the group “Refuse Fascism”will host nationwide rallies in 14 different cities for its mission, which is quite simple: “The Trump/Pence regime must go”— and by any means possible.
As expected, the mainstream media continue to hype the coming protest as a marker for when the Left will raise a united moral front against the Trump presidency. But the truth is far more sinister.
Refuse Fascism positions itself as a big-tent movement from “many different points of view” that is looking out for the best interests of America. But that’s hardly the case. The reality is that it is an extremist outfit that seeks to overthrow the principles that this country was founded upon.
Its namesake is the ultimate irony. Over the past year, Refuse Fascism has shown itself to be a fascist group. The Antifa-linked group has taken pride in shutting down speakers from across the political spectrum, often declaring anyone even a smidgen right of the far-left as a “neo-Nazi” who should not — and cannot — be heard.
While quite transparent about its goals, the organization has taken several measures to hide its operational backings. Its website reveals no details about the people behind the coming Nov. 4 rallies.
However, when soliciting donations, the organization asks contributors to send money to the same office address as “World Can’t Wait.” That New York City-headquartered group is led by Debra Sweet, a self-described “revolutionary communist.”
And Sweet is not the only hardcore communist that is part of the Refuse Fascism rallies. According to Politico, several organizers share her views and were leaders in the Occupy Wall Street movement.
So where do the self-proclaimed revolutionaries at World Can’t Wait get their money from?
They receive their cash from the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ), an “anti-capitalist,” “anti-imperialist” outfit that was founded by a group responsible for supporting communist revolutionaries in Nicaragua.
According to NGO Monitor, AFGJ has supported convicted terrorists affiliated with groups such as al-Qaeda, Hamas, and FARC. AFGJ also supports “political prisoners in the USA,”displaying a list on its website that includes notorious cop-killers and jihadi terrorists.
Despite its support for extremist causes, leftist billionaire donors continue to happily write checks for the Alliance for Global Justice. According to the Capital Research Center, the George Soros-funded Open Society Foundations has given six-figure checks to the Marxist outfit.
They’ve also received massive funding from the far-Left Tides Foundation (another group Soros has been extremely generous with in years past).
Somehow, Refuse Fascism retains its tax-exempt status with the IRS. While John Koskinen, the sitting IRS commissioner, made sure to leave out Tea Party groups from consideration, he apparently has no issue giving tax credits to a revolutionary group filled with members who seek the violent overthrow of America.
Don’t let the legacy media fool you. The bottom line is that Refuse Fascism is a front for communist revolutionaries who seek the destruction of our nation.
The ruling of one liberal federal judge proves that America is no longer a republic and doubtful if it is even a democracy. What’s the difference?
A republic is what our Founding Fathers sacrificed so much to establish. It’s a government where the people elect leaders to do the will of the majority of the people.
A democracy is best described as a government where the people elect leaders to rule over them, regardless of the will of the people. So many people erroneously think America was a democracy but it was NEVER intended to be that way. Also notice that many communist or socialist countries use the term ‘democratic’ in their name – i.e. Democratic Republic of the Congo. Republic in this name just refers to a bordered nation and Democratic refers to the socialist government running it. When East Germany still existed, it was formally known as the German Democratic Republic and like the Congo, Republic only referred to the geographic borders and Democratic referred to the socialist-communist government.
Our Founding Fathers intended for the people to hold most of the power and influence and of the three branches of the federal government, the judiciary was to be the least powerful.However, lately, the judiciary has become the most powerful and influential branch of the federal government. They override the will of the people, the will of Congress and the orders of the President.
The majority of Texas voters elected Republicans to the state House and Senate with the mandate to defund Planned Parenthood. Currently, the Texas Senate has 20 republicans to only 11 Democrats and the House is 95 Republicans to only 55 Democrats. Greg Abbott, a staunchly conservative Christian Republican holds the governor’s office after faithfully serving as the state’s Attorney General for 13 years. Since 1987, Texas has only had 1 Democratic governor in Ann Richards who only lasted 4 years. She was followed in 1995 by George W. Bush who was then followed by Rick Perry, who was then followed by Greg Abbott.
Following the will of the people, the Texas legislature voted in 2015 to defund Planned Parenthood, since the voters said they didn’t want their tax dollars going to the abortion giant, regardless of what other services they claim to provide. After the bill to defund Planned Parenthood was signed into law by Gov. Abbott, Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit, claiming the new law was unconstitutional.
In his agenda driven ruling, Judge Sparks, once thought to be a conservative who was appointed by President George W. Bush, overturned the law in favor of Planned Parenthood. Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council commented about the ruling handed down by Judge Sparks:
“It may be your money, but that doesn’t mean you can decide how it’s spent!”That was the message from U.S. District Court Judge Sam Sparks to Texans who overwhelmingly voted to strip Planned Parenthood of its hefty Medicaid haul. In a 42-page opinion that read like it was written by Cecile Richards herself, Sparks took unusual offense to the law, insisting that the effort was all based on ‘a secretly recorded video, fake names, a grand jury indictment, [and] congressional investigations’ that sounded more like a ‘best-selling novel’ than a legitimate case’.”
“‘Yet, rather than a villain plotting to take over the world, the subject of this case is the State of Texas’s efforts to expel a group of health care providers from a social health care program for families and individuals with limited resources.’ Insisting that yanking funding for the scandal-plagued group would somehow cause ‘irreparable harm,’ Sparks seemed more concerned with his personal agenda than the facts. If the judge had bothered looking beyond his own bias, he would have realized that low-cost, publicly-funded health centers (where these dollars would be redirected) outnumber Planned Parenthood facilities 20 to one nationwide, care for 23 million Americans, and even provide more health services than the group he’s so desperate to defend. In fact, those community health centers serve 21.1 million individuals per year, nearly eight times more individuals than are served by Planned Parenthood centers.”
When one judge becomes President, Congress, Governor, state legislature and ruler of the people, it’s a clear sign that America is no longer the republic created and established by the Founding Fathers. It also sends out a signal that the majority of the American people no long have a say in their government or how the government spends their hard-earned tax dollars.
‘If African-Americans didn’t get out and vote for Hillary Clinton, they would be dissing him and his legacy.’ So warned President Barack Obama, in a speech at the Black Caucus Foundation in Washington DC, on September 17.
The woman whose election promises portend a war on whites, Walmart and the wealthy has nothing to fear. Obama’s political cant notwithstanding, there isn’t much of a chance blacks will side overwhelmingly with Hillary’s rival.
Like never before, the 2016 election has been characterized by “a muscular mobilization of a race-based community, coercive control of territory and appeals by powerful charismatic leaders.”
What do I mean by “coercive control of territory”? Consider what would transpire if Donald Trump were to campaign “big-league” in Birmingham (Alabama), Charlotte (North Carolina), or South Los Angeles. Riots would erupt. (Incidentally, the thing where private property is invaded and looted is not called a protest.)
As sure as night follows day, the American democracy is destined to resemble that of South Africa, where a ruling majority party is permanently entrenched, and where voting is characterized by what has become Barack Obama’s signature tactic, a “muscular mobilization of the race-based community.”
The last, twice-repeated reference is out of “Into The Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons For America From Post-Apartheid South-Africa.” In2011, the book used the tragic example of post-apartheid South Africa to forewarn Americans of the effects of a shift in their country’s founding political dispensation, a shift being achieved stateside through immigration central-planning.
America’s political class has been tinkering with the country’s historical demographic composition for decades. The consequence of the mass importation of poor, Third World immigrants is that America, like South Africa, is headed to dominant-party status, in which a permanent majority intractably hostile to the minority consolidates power, and in which voting along racial lines is the rule.
It used to be that the Democratic Party was this nascent majority’s political organ, offering a platform of preferential policies for a voting bloc whose “interests are viewed through the prism of racial affiliations.”Obama’s Dreams from America are for a country in which the historic majority is destined to become a marginalized minority, consigned to the status of spectator in the political bleachers. Ditto Clinton’s dreams. But, as election year 2016 has shown, the Republican Party is vying for a similar mantle.
That South Africa is riven by race is indisputable. Each election is “a racial census as far as whites and blacks are concerned.”In the much-ballyhooed, historic election of 1994, “only two to three percent of whites voted for historically black parties and perhaps five percent of blacks voted for historically white parties. The ANC relied for ninety-four percent of its vote on black support. The historically white parties had been barred from campaigning in the black townships.” Yet elections since 1994 have had the blessing of every liberal alive, and that includes many of the world’s self-styled conservatives.
“The rule of the people, demos, and the people’s ethnicity, ethnos” invariably clash, argued Michael Mann, “one of the leading historical sociologists of our time.” In “The Dark Side of Democracy: Explaining Ethnic Cleansing” (2004), Mann contends that in the earlier, more formative stages of their development, democracies are prone to carrying out murderous ethnic cleansing, which in extreme forms can become genocidal.
“The growth of popular sovereignty, the institutionalization of universal citizenship, [and] the creation of mass society” have often seen “ethnic groups laying claim to the same territory resort to the use of force, and, when frustrated, to murderous ethnic cleansing and even genocide.”Examples of this phenomenon in modernity: the ethnic expulsions and massacres in the democratized former Yugoslavia and Rwanda during the 1990s, the genocide of the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire under the Young Turks (particularly in 1915-1916), and the mechanized mass murder of the Jews in Nazi Germany. While the infant South-African democracy fits snugly within his thesis, democracy devotees [the writer is not one] have accused Mann of twisting like a Cirque du Soleil contortionist to stretch the definition of democracy in making his case.
Where Mann is at pains to prove the murderous nature of young democracies, the arguments against democracy for South Africa, which have been propounded by Duke University scholar Donald L. Horowitz, have considerable force. Finely attuned to “important currents in South African thought,”Horowitz offered up an excruciatingly detailed analysis of South Africa’s constitutional options.
In “A Democratic South Africa?: Constitutional Engineering in a Divided Society” (1991), Horowitz concluded that democracy is, in general, unusual in Africa, and, in particular, rare in ethnically and racially divided societies, where majorities and minorities are rigidly predetermined.
Prone to seeing faces in the clouds, the new South Africa’s Anglo-American cheerleaders were impervious to such sobering pronouncements. It remained for students of democracy such as Horowitz to hope only that “the probability will … recede that one person, one vote, one value, and one state will degenerate into only one legal party and one last election.”
“Elections to be meaningful presuppose a certain level of political organization. … The primary problem is … the creation of a legitimate public order. Authority has to exist before it can be limited, and it is authority that is in scarce supply in the modernizing countries,” warned Samuel Huntington in “Political Order In Changing Societies.”Little did Huntington consider that, with enough tinkering by its ruling elites; a modern and mighty country like the U.S. could devolve into an atavistic and dangerous place.
Not nearly as hopeful as Horowitz was that “noted student of nationalism”Elie Kedourie. “If majority and minority are perpetual, then government ceases to have a mediatory or remedial function, and becomes an instrument of perpetual oppression of the minority by the majority,”concluded Kedourie. It was after a visit to South Africa that he wrote the following, in the November 1987 issue of the South Africa International:
The worst effects of the tyranny of the majority are seen when parliamentary government on the unalloyed Westminster model is introduced into countries divided by religion or language or race. Such for example was the case of Iraq … where an extremely heterogeneous society came to be endowed with constitutions which made no provision for diversity, and where the result was tyranny of one groups over the other groups in the society.
A prerequisite for a classical liberal democracyis that majority and minority status be interchangeable and fluid in politics; that a ruling majority party be as likely to become a minority party as the obverse. By contrast, in South Africa, the majority and the minorities are politically permanent, not temporary.
America’s Founding Fathers had attempted to forestall raw democracy by devising a republic.Every democratic theorist worth his salt—Robert Dahl and Elaine Spitz come to mind—has urged that the raw, ripe rule of the mob and its dominant, anointed party be severely curtailed under certain circumstances fast approaching in the United States of America. These are “whenever people of different languages, races, religions, or national origins, with no firm habits of political co-operation and mutual trust, are to unite in a single polity.”
DEAR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS: AMERICA IS NO LONGER A REPUBLIC!
This message for all Americans is also an open letter to all 535 Members of the Congress of the United States. Tonight is the eve of the date marking four months since the midterm elections of November 4, 2014, at which time Republicans captured solid majorities in both houses of Congress. Voters let it be known loud and clear, across the land, in elections for Governorships, and other statewide and local elections, that we were totally exasperated by the evil and lawless agenda and actions of the socialist Obama administration. We all heard truckloads of tough talk from Conservatives and Republicans regarding what their plans were come January of 2015, to use whatever means necessary to reverse course and return America to ” We, the People “.
Two full months have passed since the new Congress convened, our duly elected Members of the House and Senate, despite all the tough rhetoric and promises, even in spite of holding solid Republican Majorities in both houses, have accomplished absolutely nothing. Congress has not shown any indication whatsoever, of willingness to act to stop, nor begin to reverse, the destruction our nation has suffered during the past six years under Obama and the Courts.
So much has been written, and spoken, about, and in opposition to the high crimes and misdemeanors of Obama and the executive branch, that it is unnecessary to reiterate the legions of evils, immoral actions, and unconstitutional abuses of power that have been perpetrated. However, it would be prudent to point out that, just during this past week alone, Obama’s Executive Branch has:
(1) spit in the face of American workers by callously vetoing the Keystone XL pipeline;
(2) vowed to ignore lower court rulings that his executive action to grant amnesty to 5 million illegals, is unconstitutional, and is arrogantly proceeding ahead;
(3) his ordering of the Federal Communications Commission, behind the back of Congress and the people, to take control of the Internet, a dangerous infringement on free speech that will lead to censorship;
(4) illegally and unilaterally engaging with our most evil enemy, Iran, behind the backs of Congress, when our Constitution clearly requires treaties to be subject to the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate;
(5) publicly and illegally vowing earlier today to take executive action to raise taxes some 100 billion dollars, despite the clearly written Constitutional requirement that all taxation and spending is solely under Congressional authority.
Expounding at length regarding judicial abuses is also unnecessary, since volumes of spoken and written words have recounted the unspeakable and unconscionable actions and rulings of our United States Courts, at district, appellate and Supreme Court levels, in alliance with, or enabling of, Obama’s Executive Branch, to continuously overrule the will of the people and their state governments, and strip away our rights and liberties. Thus our Judicial Branch of the United States Government has become, just as has the Executive Branch, the enemy of the American people;
District Court judges have targeted the religious freedoms of individuals, private businesses and church affiliated organizations.
District and Appellate Courts have betrayed the American people in countless ways, but among them has included the arbitrary and capricious overturning of traditional marriage laws enacted in more than 30 states, that were the result of democratic elections!
Then of course, the U.S. Supreme Court, despite volumes of evidence to the contrary, flouted the wisdom and popular consensus of our people, and voted 5-4 to uphold the despised Affordable Care Act, nicknamed ” Obamacare “.
Clearly, with the Obama administration and the Judiciary having become enemies of the people, the ” wave ” election in November, when so-called conservatives and Republicans won solid majorities in both houses of Congress (coupled with big GOP gains in Governorships, statewide and local elections) felt wonderful to most, at the time. Americans thought relief from the tyranny of the Executive and Judicial Branches was swiftly and decisively forthcoming. The Legislative Branch would, come January 3, 2015, ” ride in like the Cavalry,” to the rescue of the American people, and begin to work with speed and diligence to restore our disintegrating republic.
Two months later, the American people can clearly hear the roar of silence from the Members of the new Congress.Their appalling and indefensible lack of action, is in contrast, a loud, clear message to once hopeful, patriotic and conservative Americans, that Congress has betrayed us, as surely as Obama Executive Branch and the Judges of the Courts in our Judicial Branch already have. It is now very clear based on both the events of the past six years, and those atrocities and abuses of power of just the last six days, that Congress was the only hope remaining for the American people. Now, as of March 3, 2015, it has become quite clear that, like the Executive and the Judiciary, our Legislative Branch has also betrayed and abandoned us. Our Congress, like the Obama administration and the Judiciary, has by all available evidence, also become, as a body, the enemy of the American people.
In the realm of honorable academic and scientific research, there is a method for critical and impartial collection, interpretation and analysis of large amounts of information. It is called “Meta-Analysis “. In conducting an informal ” Meta-Analysis ” of the collective actions of our three branches of government in recent years, particularly under President Obama, the analysis yields overwhelmingly the conclusion that America as a Republic was nearly destroyed by Obama and the Judiciary. Now, with our Legislative Branch, the U.S. Congress, having betrayed and abandoned Americans since January, this writer feels compelled to ring the bells of warning to Americans, and a strong admonition to the Members of Congress, as well: we know what you have wrought! The United States of America is no longer a Republic!
To Members of Congress, as well as to President Obama and Members of the National Judiciary, please hear this admonition; restore our Republic, and do it immediately, or each of you who betrayed us will answer to the American people! Unless you act with due haste to restore the Republic you have just destroyed to ” We, the People “, you will also be required to answer to Almighty God!
