It Is Time To End Washington DC Home Rule
For most of our country’s life, the District of Columbia was governed directly by the federal government. It is our nation’s capital, and it must be brought back under complete federal control

I was reflecting on the Supreme Court’s recent rulings and it hit me like a brick: every single female appointee to the Court has been either a gut-wrenching disappointment or an outright catastrophe. Let’s run through this hall of shame:
In 2036 sons & daughters of the CCP elites will qualify to run for the US House. In 2041 they will qualify to run for the US Senate. In 2046, they will be eligible to run for the US Presidency. THIS is the Trojan Horse 6 justices gave America because they fear the Leftist mob will come after their family members.
In 1787, delegates to the Constitutional Convention went to Philadelphia to create a stronger national government than what existed under the first national framework of government, the Articles of Confederation. The issue of slavery was not on the agenda, but could not be avoided.
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations…evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government….” — U.S. Declaration of Independence
Bummed by the news reports about the Supreme Court as it flooded the end of June with key decisions? Don’t be because the headlines are as misleading as a date with a tranny without being told she is a he.
Reporters cover the courts about as well as they cover the White House, election polls and war.
One of the first liberating principles upon which our republic was founded…going back to well before the Declaration of Independence…declared that men could actually govern themselves.
The document the DSA leaders passed makes clear that achieving their vision of a Communist Utopia would require “building a new society from the ground up,” accompanied by sweeping structural changes. This can only be accomplished by brute force and executions.
The Republican Party was birthed by Abolitionists who refused to compromise on slavery. They left the Northern Whigs who always compromised. Today, career politician Establishment Republicans always compromise or collaborate cheerfully. Their votes and budgets make a lie of their campaigns as “Republicans” and “Conservatives”. Career politicians made those labels utterly meaningless. Conversely, the Democrats …
On September 17, 1787, the final day of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin, 81, shared with his fellow delegates his assessment of the new Constitution:
I confess that there are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them: For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information, or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise.
Most revolutions begin with promises of freedom and end with new forms of power. The French Revolution produced the Terror and Napoleon. The Russian Revolution produced Lenin and Stalin. The Chinese Revolution produced Mao and mass famine. History’s pattern is clear: tearing down institutions is far easier than building stable replacements. The American Revolution was different. The Founders inherited functioning local governments, a tradition of self-rule, and a deep understanding of human nature. Rather than trusting power, they divided it. Rather than creating permanent revolution, they created a constitutional republic capable of reform without collapse. As America approaches its 250th birthday, the greatest lesson of 1776 may not be that revolution is glorious, but that the true miracle was what came after—the creation of a nation where change could occur without needing another revolution.
America at 250 years experienced epochal transitions from a Frontier to Agricultural to Industrial to (first-iteration) Post-Industrial society, from colonies to nation-state to world power and empire to super-power to global uber-super-power, economic crises, wars, and its terrible civil war of national definition in the War Between the States. Concurrently, each century had a paramount issue of national definition.
Mr. Obama’s comments at his Presidential Center show a lack of knowledge, or his latest attempt to split the American people. Both options are believable.
Federalist 84 is an interesting read because it includes Hamilton defending the fact that there is no Bill of Rights in the draft constitution.
Hamilton continues reviewing the Judiciary and goes into greater depth on the issue of the relative jurisdictions of the Federal and State courts.
This single footnote could not and did not create a “constitutional right” to birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants, a concept that was never intended by the 14th Amendment’s framers. The footnote has been rejected by constitutional scholars for decades.
Hamilton continues his discourse on the nature of the Judiciary in Federalist 81. This paper addresses the very current issue of an activist Judiciary.
Bend a piece of metal; no matter how strong it is, keep bending it, and it will break. That is our current political system. And it is worldwide.
Europe is on some kind of autopilot. The people have literally no input into where they are going; it has become a very weird place. Victims of crime are being arrested while the perps are being let go. 90% of all new jobs are going to foreigners. Europe is getting closer every day to revolution.
Our modern beliefs suppose that the third branch of government has unlimited authority to make pronouncements. But that is not the case nor was it the intent of the Founding Fathers.
There is a particular kind of intellectual dishonesty that does not know it is dishonest. It wraps itself in the language of compassion, hides its power hunger behind slogans of liberation, and mistakes its own cultural preferences for universal moral law. American progressivism, in its current form as embodied by the Democrat Party, has become a nearly perfect specimen of this condition.
