Communist-in-conservative clothing Jonathan V. Last, editor of the Bulwark, has joined Munchkin Robert Reich, a former labor secretary, in calling for the nationalization of Space X.
Both Republican and Democrat parties’ profit by preserving our current state of affairs, not by improving it. Their opposition to an Article V convention simply confirms that they’re terrified that it might actually work.
Federal criminal courtrooms are public. Rule 53 bans cameras in them. I graded all six points on your card like a lab report. Two pass. Four can get your followers arrested.
Before anybody in the replies calls me anti-protest… I’m a medically retired Army medic. I swore an oath to defend your right to stand on a sidewalk and call the President anything you want. I also think a member of Congress handing out legal advice ought to hand out ALL of it. Slight oversight!
Attempt to whip votes for Democrats fails on the facts
On Halloween, the Dakota Scout posted a “trick commentary” entitled, “Voters must require Thune, others to uphold Article I responsibilities.” Their conclusion urges “citizens to stand up on Nov. 3 and hold John Thune and so many other members of Congress accountable for their failure to honor their oath of office, their failure to protect the Constitution, …” In short, this is an exhortation for South Dakotans to vote Democrat irrespective of the policies of the national Democrat Party, which are anathema to most South Dakotans.
For a man with an Ivy League law degree, Mr. Reich has little understanding of the Constitution.
Let me say something at the very beginning that you need to understand before we go any further.
Your congressman does not represent Democrats. Your senator does not represent Republicans. They do not represent the donors who funded their campaign, the party bosses who gave them their committee assignments, or the cable news anchors who invite them on television. They represent EVERY SINGLE PERSON in their district or their state. Period. That is the entire job. That is the oath. That is the contract they signed with you the moment they put their hand on a Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
Remember, 95% of adult Muslims vote in every election because their goal is to take over the United States of America! There is NO OTHER demographic who votes in such high numbers. Only sixty percent of Christians vote, for example.
We must face reality head on. We are on the precipice of tyranny. And we have a simple choice. We can choose to use our ballot to retain our freedoms, or we can defer, and be forced into using the bullet to gain them back. To inform us of that choice we must look at our recent history, and our nation’s history.
A student asked me a question last spring that I still can’t shake.
We were finishing a unit, and I had gone off on one of my tangents (my students will tell you this happens roughly every eleven minutes). I was talking about how republics fall. Not with armies. With paperwork. A girl in the third row put her hand up and asked, very quietly, “Mr. Bski, could that happen here?”
I gave her the teacher answer. I said our system was built to make it very, very hard.
Americans are not Frenchmen, and our country is not destined for the same ending as France. We have something the French lack – the will, and the means, to prevent the anarchy from expanding beyond a few mismanaged cities.
The President and Congress should be on high alert and increase security immediately. The investigations underway involving Ilhan Omar could trigger, or be used to trigger, several domestic terrorist events.
Diane explains the importance of a Constitutional sheriff who protects the citizens from the tyranny of state & local governments. Trump has endorsed two Republican candidates for the US House from Washington State: John Braun in CD 3 and Michael Baumgartner in CD 5.
The ultimate weapon in fifth-generation warfare may not be a missile, a drone, or even propaganda. It may simply be convincing Americans that truth itself no longer exists. Once we believe elections are meaningless, institutions are irredeemably corrupt, rights belong only to our tribe, and our neighbors are enemies, nobody has to conquer us. But the answer cannot be a government Ministry of Truth deciding what citizens are allowed to believe. A free republic survives differently: evidence, transparency, free speech, skeptical citizens, honest institutions, and the freedom to argue—even to be wrong. It’s messy, frustrating, inefficient, and occasionally ridiculous. Good. That’s what freedom looks like. I’ll take the argument.
The hardest rights to defend are usually the rights of people we disagree with. Freedom of speech protects obnoxious opinions. Freedom of religion protects beliefs we may consider ridiculous. Peaceful assembly protects protesters whose signs make our blood pressure rise, and due process protects defendants we may already despise. But liberty is not a license to commit crimes, and every desire, benefit, opportunity, or government service is not automatically a constitutional right. A republic survives when we understand both sides of that equation: I don’t have to agree with you, and I certainly don’t have to like you—but I’ll defend your right to be wrong. Just stay off my lawn.
What exactly are we trying to save?
During my career with the Chicago Tribune, I covered my share of criminal and civil trials. One thing I learned early on was to watch the jury for telltale reactions that might indicate how jurors were processing the evidence.
There is something to thinking out loud with ideas. But propagating crazed concepts like eliminating pieces of our government is annoying.
The anti-Second Amendment activists don’t factor in defensive firearm use wherein guns are merely displayed, but not fired, to deter threats. This is for good reason: Such use constitutes at least 75-80 percent of defensive gun uses.
You don’t have to invade a nation to defeat it. You may only have to convince its citizens that their elections are rigged, their courts are corrupt, their institutions are illegitimate, and their neighbors are the enemy. As early as 2012, the U.S. military was wrestling with the Human Dimension and emerging ideas about the Human Domain—the recognition that wars ultimately turn on human behavior and human will. Add smartphones, algorithms, information warfare, color-revolution dynamics, and fifth-generation warfare, and the battlefield starts looking considerably different. The Capitol can still be standing, the flag can still be flying, and elections can still happen right on schedule. But if nobody believes any of it anymore, an enemy may never have to conquer us. We may eventually do the job ourselves.
Assimilation of new arrivals to the U.S. is an ongoing problem. Persistent failure of large immigrant groups to assimilate linguistically, civically, and economically can produce enduring ethnic enclaves, lower social trust, weaker shared civic norms, and political and cultural polarization that strain public institutions and social cohesion. This can lead to a direct threat to the American constitutional republic over time as respect for the U.S. rule of law fractures in favor of other ideological frameworks like Sharia law.
