Parillo on Federalist 40 and 41
On the Legitimacy of the New Constitution, and the Very Limited Role of Government
Constitution
Defending Our Constitution
The oath military officers take in these United States, is different than that taken by officers in other countries. American officers swear to an ideal, not a tyrant.
Federalist 3 and 4
John Jay still writing as Publius, jumps back into the fray with Federalist 3 arguing that a single country, and a single constitution, would be safer for the citizens than to remain individual states.
A Continued Path to Glory and Peace
Today, we Americans are marching to a new ‘Path to Glory” for our country much as our founders and ancestors had to do. Today, we must continue to be Americans First citizens and rise above partisan politics and political parties. We must face the future solving our problems and plans looking through a reality prism not a political one and seek to restore this great country, our Republic and the Constitution. The goal ahead is to select common-sense leaders who understand our challenges and have the vision to lead us to a secure America so all can be in the pursuit of happiness and a thankful life.

Cronyism: DC’s Selective Enforcement of Preemption (Net Neutrality v AI)
The United States Constitution severely restricts what the federal government is supposed to do. By specifically delineating what the fed gov is supposed to do.
The Officer’s Oath: Why It’s Different—and Why It Matters
In 1787, our founders wrote something radical into the Constitution: every official—civilian, military, executive, judicial—would swear allegiance not to a man, but to an idea. Article VI makes it clear: the oath is to the Constitution. Period.
