Drill Baby, Drill!

MASSIVE U.S. OIL SUPPLY

About 6 months ago, there was a news program on oil and one of The Forbes Bros. was the guest. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil does the U.S. Have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "More than all the Middle East put Together."

The U.S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only Scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and Extreme eastern Montana.

Check THIS out:

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable (5 Billion barrels), at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion. "When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their Jaws hit the floor.

They had no idea." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyzer. "This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years,” reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

It's a formation known as the Williston Basin but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada. For years, U.S. Oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago.

However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's Massive reserves, And, we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is Light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!!!!! That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years Straight. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - Because it's from 2006!

U.S. Oil Discovery - Largest Reserve in the World Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006. Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the Largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush Mandated its extraction. In many recent years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this mother lode of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore Drilling?

They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on Earth.

Here are the official estimates:

8 times as much oil as Saudi Arabia

18 times as much oil as Iraq

21 times as much oil as Kuwait

22 times as much oil as Iran

500 times as much oil as Yemen

And it's all right here in the Western United States !

HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the Environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become Independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people Dictate our lives and our economy. WHY?

James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East, more than 2 TRILLION barrels Untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the World today, reports The Denver Post.

Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace. Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?

Got your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it, do this:

Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices, by doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to everyone in your address book.

 

The Great American Revival of 2022

 

“Welcome 2022. A new year that can bring many changes for good as we do what is right and stand up for moral standards.  Stay strong in your beliefs and faith.”  Richard Medlock

Many media pundits and politicians like to refer to the “Great Global Reset” when they talk about plans to destroy the American way of life.  But, instead of talking about that Reset, our conversations and actions should focus on the “Great American Revival”.

America and We the People need to Return to the Basics.  Remember the phrase we used to use all the time, KISS?  “Keep It Simple Stupid”.  That way of thinking needs to return because it proved to be very successful in planning, understanding, and progress.  When ideas and discussions become too complicated, confusion and chaos develop.  Unfortunately, that’s where we are in America today.  And many believe by design.

Here are nine ways that We the People can successfully bring about the “Great American Revival”.

1. The Ten Commandments: They are as meaningful today as when Moses received them on the mount.  By applying them in our lives, we will find strength to fight the good fight.  Take the time to ponder how these laws and principles have been perverted and ignored.  Then think of ways how they can become a stronger influence in American Society.

You shall have no other gods before Me.

You shall make no idols.

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

Keep the Sabbath day holy.

Honor your father and your mother.

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not covet.

2. Parents, make your children and family a high priority in your life.

“The home is the most effective place to learn the lessons of life; truth, honor, virtue, self-control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life.  Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home.” David O. McKay

3. Study and understand the United States Constitution.  Know and understand where our freedoms come from and how we can successfully defend them.

"[T]he present Constitution is the standard to which we are to cling. Under its banners, bona fide must we combat our political foes -- rejecting all changes but through the channel itself provides for amendments." --Alexander Hamilton

“When We the People hold up the Constitution to Tyranny, the Constitution and America win.” Richard Medlock

4. Follow the admonition of the Founding Fathers.

An old adage: “A people must from time to time, refresh themselves at the wellspring of their origin, lest they perish.”

5. Maintaining our Freedoms should be a High Priority.

Peter Marshall said “May we think of freedom, not to do as we please, but an opportunity to do what is right.”

6. Do not allow the enemies of America and Freedom to dominate the debate.

Patrick Henry “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God.  I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Liberty or Give me Death!

Be the louder voice for Freedom, Virtue, Values, and Moral Principles.

7. Stand up against undesirable elected persons and elect moral people.

Today we have become a nation of “rule by man”.  It has been said that many political leaders think they know more than God.  When men become a “law unto themselves” only evil will prevail.  This is not the American way.  Our Founding Fathers warned us of this happening and gave us the way to correct the problem.

“A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody.”  Thomas Paine

8. Place “Providence or God” at the head of our families, counsels, schools. courts, and assemblies.

John Quincy Adams said “From the day of the Declaration … the American people were bound by the laws of God, which they all, and by the laws of the gospel, which they nearly all acknowledged as the rules of their conduct.”

9. Develop and maintain a “High Degree of Hope”.  America is not lost.  Who and what is lost are the leaders elected to govern and those that have decided to follow a false ideology.  America is still standing because of faithful We the People.

America is at war with forces to destroy good and right.  Our battles are moving forward and gaining ground as more Americans have decided to Stand Up and Speak Up.  Thomas Paine was correct when he said, “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of defending it.”

We the People are the Defenders of Freedom, Liberty, and Justice.  We must decide not to grow weary or become fatigued in the good fight.  Carry On with Strength and Foresight!

May God Bless America!

Lincoln's Total War - Tyranny Cannot Stand in America

October 19, 2021

Lincoln’s Total War

By Valerie Protopapas

Let us look at what we have learned. The need to have a proper understanding of what is commonly, but erroneously referred to as the Civil War has a direct relationship to critical issues facing us today. Americans are used to thinking that upon the ratification of the Constitution, our Republic was established and has remained inviolate since that time; that it was “saved” by Abraham Lincoln in a victorious war waged by the noble and patriotic Union over the traitorous and wicked slave-masters of the South. But we must remember that the war not only ended the South’s attempt at secession—a right guaranteed under that same Constitution—but also in large part, ended the Republic as it was set up under that Constitution by the Founders. For the Republic of 1789 was, for all intents and purposes, the first of many American nations. In 1865, the victory of the national government over the States—and not just the Southern States!—in the Civil War initiated a series of subsequent “virtual nations,” each with a central government more powerful than the one that preceded it. Let us trace this evolutionary path:

1779: The power of the Sovereign States is supreme; these are individual nations as admitted in the Treaty of Paris; the new nation governs through the Articles, first of Association and then of Confederation indicating a growing desire to work towards a perfection of their not yet completed union.

1789: The power of the States dominates but a Federal Government outside of the States is created by the Constitution, a compact that replaces the Articles. This government has enumerated and limited powers in order to address those situations beyond the scope of individual States even acting in concert.

1861: With the States (and culture) of the South confined within its original geographic borders, the power of the rest of the Union has grown to the point at which these States are able to force their will on the Southern States, using the income generated in those States to succor and support the rest. American manufacturing is supported by monies raised by high tariffs that hurt most of all the agricultural South without any compensation to those States. This situation was defined by Missouri Senator Thomas H. Benton in 1828—three decades before the Cotton States acted to escape political and financial servitude. Speaking on the floor of the Senate Benton stated:

“Before the (American) revolution [the South] was the seat of wealth … Wealth has fled from the South and settled in regions north of the Potomac: and this in the face of the fact, that the South … has exported produce, since the Revolution, to the value of eight hundred millions of dollars; and the North has exported comparatively nothing. Such an export would indicate unparalleled wealth, but what is the fact? … Under Federal legislation, the exports of the South have been the basis of the Federal revenue …Virginia, the two Carolinas, and Georgia, may be said to defray three-fourths of the annual expense of supporting the Federal Government; and of this great sum, annually furnished by them, nothing or next to nothing is returned to them, in the shape of Government expenditures. That expenditure flows northwardly, in one uniform, uninterrupted, and perennial stream. This is the reason why wealth disappears from the South and rises up in the North. Federal legislation does all this!”

1865: The Federal Government triumphs in war over those States wishing to exercise what had been recognized as their rights under the Constitution to leave the original union and form a new one of their own choosing. This military victory carried forth in the name of that government – Lincoln never spoke of the Union, but of the “government” – overturns the Constitution of 1789 and replaces it with a “constitutional understanding” in which the Federal Government is dominant over all the States and not just those it had defeated in war. This situation reflects the new reality begun decades before the War involving an alliance of commerce with the expanded coercive power of the central government in order to facilitate their respective agendas: profit and power.

1933: The power of the Central Government is now invulnerable; the States serve as mere counties able to exercise power only at the local level. The “emergencies” of World War I, the Great Depression and the Second World War further strengthen its power, permitting programs such as the New Deal and other direct intrusions into the lives of the People over which the States have neither control nor influence.

1965: The power of the National Government is now absolute; what little power remains to the States is further marginalized. Federal affiliation with the civil rights movement and social programs such as the Great Society solidify central power while further reducing what small powers had remained in the States. More and more formerly state matters—such as crime—are removed from local and State purview to federal control. Less than ten years later, the Supreme Court strikes down all State legislation rulings on abortion by declaring the killing of children in the womb a “constitutional right.” All efforts to affect this finding by the States or the People are dismissed out of hand. Also at this point, large lobbying groups in both the public and private sectors wield more power at the federal level than do the formerly sovereign States much less the People.

2008: The Federal System, long existing in name only is finally abandoned. Both the States and the People are powerless in the grip of a government that no longer recognizes even a remnant of the Constitution and the Founding Principles. Still, many Americans continue to believe that the Republic still exists and in the name of Washington, Jefferson and the Constitution they work to influence a situation that has deteriorated to the point at which the establishment of an actual police state seems not a question of “if,” but of “when.”

2021: Today there is an ongoing powerful and ubiquitous effort to finally, once and for all, consign to oblivion the ideas and ideals that drove the People of the South to secede from a union they considered antithetical to the well-being of their people—ideas and ideals which they continue to boldly declare through the use of Confederate symbols, monuments and memorials. The fact that their cause is all but lost can be seen in the ongoing successful war against those same monuments and symbols.

Supporters of this crusade against the South—for this remains a religious war—declare that the killing of hundreds of thousands—perhaps as many as a million—Americans and the destruction of a people in the so-called Civil War was justified to end slavery, a claim that is demonstrably false. But even those who care nothing about the war, its origins or its meaning, revere Lincoln as a hero and a Savior of the nation. He was, we are endlessly told, America’s greatest President. Indeed, Lincoln’s monument is a temple fit for worship rather than a mere memorial. But those who justify Lincoln and what was done in the War of Secession with the plea that “it was necessary”—for whatever reason—justify every tyrant in history who has raped, pillaged, enslaved and slaughtered his way into power as well as every one who will rise in the future.

Embracing the motive for tyranny neither changes its moral dynamics nor its consequences. If we permit the final extermination of Southern heritage and the memory of those boys in gray who fought and died for their homes and their God-given liberties, we consign not just the South, but America, that great experiment, to oblivion.

A Note To Sane People

Ernest LaFoy, Contributing Editor

A Note to Sane People

Critical things to think about in 2021.

I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home and I was privileged to be born here. But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is changing for the worse. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, no matter how much I pray, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!

You can't justify this insanity:

• If a guy pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.

• It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine.

• Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.

• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.

• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.

• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.

• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang member or terrorist who jumps the southern fence is welcome.

• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $15 trillion for “free” health care is not.

• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.

• If you cheat in an election nothing happens to you, but if you point out the mathematical errors of that election you are a conspiracy theorist & disdained.

• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.

• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan for us.

• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

• Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of their rights.

• And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!

Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, it's taking on water, and is sinking fast. We Americans are drowning. Speak up while you still have breath and a voice for soon you will have neither if you don't!

 

"On What Basis Can We Morally Resist Tyranny?"

October 3, 2021

“On what basis can we morally resist tyranny?

I say to you with all the fervor of my soul that God intended men to be free. Rebellion against tyranny is a righteous cause. It is an enormous evil for any man to be enslaved to any system contrary to his own will. For that reason men, 200 years ago, pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor.

No nation which has kept the commandments of God has ever perished, but I say to you that once freedom is lost, only blood – human blood – will win it back.” —Ezra Taft Benson

 

The Meaning of The Pledge of Allegiance

 

October 3, 2021

"There is a lot of debate regarding the recitation of Pledge of Allegiance. Many Americans don’t say the Pledge and feel that it’s unnecessary even to stand up when the national anthem is being played. They defend themselves by saying that by not reciting the Pledge, they are not being anti-patriotic. According to them, standing or not standing; reciting or not reciting does not make them more or less of an American citizen.

On the other hand, some people find the words ‘under God’ objectionable. Atheists and non- Christian Americans state that they cannot recite ‘under God’, because it happens to be against their beliefs. Then, there are those people who believe that not saying the Pledge is a sign of disrespect to the country.

So sadly, we see people with different schools of thought debating and battling over the Pledge and forgetting the larger objective of standing together in unity as a nation. The controversies will go on, however, each American has the freedom to choose to recite the pledge or not. So it is up to each individual! is SO Important

The Pledge of Allegiance, written in 1892 is an oath or symbol of loyalty of the Americans towards their flag and country. This article dwells on why is the Pledge of Allegiance important to the Americans...

Pledge of Allegiance to the United States flag, is a promise or oath of loyalty to the Republic of United States of America. The Pledge was originally written in August, 1892 by an American Baptist minister and social activist, Francis Bellamy.

Pledge of Allegiance was first published in 1892, in the September 8th edition of a Boston-based children magazine called ‘Youth’s Companion’. On October 12, 1892, it was first used during Columbus Day celebrations. The proclamation made by President Benjamin Harrison and over 12 million children recited the Pledge of Allegiance that day, thereby beginning a school day ritual. Since then, the Pledge is recited daily, by school children of all religious backgrounds across America.

The short, 15 second Pledge has an interesting history and since September 1892, the original Pledge has been altered several times, with the last addition being made in 1954 (addition of ‘under God’).

In accordance to the United States Flag Code, the pledge is to be recited by standing at attention; facing the flag and placing the right hand over the heart. People in uniform must face the flag, remain silent and take the military salute. Those not in uniform must remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and place it on their left shoulder, in such a way that their right hand is over the heart.

Meaning of Pledge of Allegiance

Today, the words of the Pledge of Allegiance reads: I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

➢ I pledge allegiance – I promise to be true

➢ of the United States of America – each state that has joined to make our country

➢ and to the Republic – a republic is a country where the people choose their representatives, to make laws for them, that is the government is for the people

➢ for which it stands – the flag, meaning the country

➢one nation – a single nation

➢ under God – the people believe in a supreme being

➢ indivisible – the country cannot be split into parts

➢ for which it stands – the flag, meaning the country

➢one nation – a single nation

➢ under God – the people believe in a supreme being

➢ indivisible – the country cannot be split into parts

➢ with liberty and justice – with freedom and fairness

➢ for all – for each person in the country, you and me!

By reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, every American promises to be true to the United States of America. The freedom available will not be taken for granted and each American will remember the countless men, women and children who have given their lives through the centuries, so that they can live peacefully today.

Importance of Pledge of Allegiance

The Pledge of Allegiance is recited by school children of all religious backgrounds, across America on a daily basis. Daily recitation is done in order to honor the nation one is a part of every morning. However, the recitation is not compulsory, which means no punitive action will be taken against children who do not recite the pledge.

It is expected that those who abstain from reciting the pledge should be seated quietly, while the pledge is being said, thereby allowing the others to recite the Pledge. Besides schools, the pledge of allegiance is also recited during the opening of Congressional sessions and also in most local level Government meetings.

Unfortunately, most of those reciting the Pledge today are saying it blinding as a ritual, where children and adults alike, recite the words without actually understanding the meaning. Reciting the Pledge is not a compulsion, but a mark of patriotism to the country. It is an action that symbolizes one’s loyalty to the United States of America and the feeling that as an American, one is proud to be a part of this blessed country.

The Pledge is a proclamation stating that all Americans are unified, standing together as one nation and working together for the benefit of the country as a whole. The reason the pledge of allegiance is asked to be recited on a daily basis in schools, is because when a child recites the pledge everyday, he or she may be directed into thinking more deeply about its meaning and significance.

The Pledge of Allegiance is considered to be a platform where kids are given the opportunity to think about their roles as citizens in the country. Reciting the pledge stirs up curiosity regarding their country, thereby inculcating a feeling of patriotism in the long run. Of course, patriotism cannot be forced upon, which is why the recitation is not compulsory.

Teachers should explain the meaning of the pledge to the children in simple language, so that they understand what they are actually reciting every morning. It is important to prevent it from becoming another part of the humdrum of life.

There is a lot of debate regarding the recitation of Pledge of Allegiance. Many Americans don’t say the Pledge and feel that it’s unnecessary even to stand up when the national anthem is being played. They defend themselves by saying that by not reciting the Pledge, they are not being anti-patriotic. According to them, standing or not standing; reciting or not reciting does not make them more or less of an American citizen.

The controversies will go on, however, each American has the freedom to choose to recite the pledge or not. So it is up to each individual!

The Meaning and The Why of the Preamble to the U. S Constitution

September 13, 2021

The Preamble of the U.S. Constitution

"The Preamble of the U.S. Constitution—the document’s famous first fifty-two words— introduces everything that is to follow in the Constitution’s seven articles and twenty-seven amendments. It proclaims who is adopting this Constitution: “We the People of the United States.” It describes why it is being adopted—the purposes behind the enactment of America’s charter of government. And it describes what is being adopted: “this Constitution”—a single authoritative written text to serve as fundamental law of the land. Written constitutionalism was a distinctively American innovation, and one that the framing generation considered the new nation’s greatest contribution to the science of government.

The word “preamble,” while accurate, does not quite capture the full importance of this provision. “Preamble” might be taken—we think wrongly—to imply that these words are merely an opening rhetorical flourish or frill without meaningful effect. To be sure, “preamble” usefully conveys the idea that this provision does not itself confer or delineate powers of government or rights of citizens. Those are set forth in the substantive articles and amendments that follow in the main body of the Constitution’s text. It was well understood at the time of enactment that preambles in legal documents were not themselves substantive provisions and thus should not be read to contradict, expand, or contract the document’s substantive terms.

But that does not mean the Constitution’s Preamble lacks its own legal force. Quite the contrary, it is the provision of the document that declares the enactment of the provisions that follow. Indeed, the Preamble has sometimes been termed the “Enacting Clause” of the Constitution, in that it declares the fact of adoption of the Constitution (once sufficient states had ratified it): “We the People of the United States . . . do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Importantly, the Preamble declares who is enacting this Constitution—the people of “the United States.” The document is the collective enactment of all U.S. citizens. The Constitution is “owned” (so to speak) by the people, not by the government or any branch thereof. We the People are the stewards of the U.S. Constitution and remain ultimately responsible for its continued existence and its faithful interpretation.

It is sometimes observed that the language “We the People of the United States” was inserted at the Constitutional Convention by the “Committee of Style,” which chose those words—rather than “We the People of the States of . . .”, followed by a listing of the thirteen states, for a simple practical reason: it was unclear how many states would actually ratify the proposed new constitution. (Article VII declared that the Constitution would come into effect once nine of thirteen states had ratified it; and as it happened two states, North Carolina and Rhode Island, did not ratify until after George Washington had been inaugurated as the first President under the Constitution.) The Committee of Style thus could not safely choose to list all of the states in the Preamble. So they settled on the language of both “We the People of the United States.”

Nonetheless, the language was consciously chosen. Regardless of its origins in practical considerations or as a matter of “style,” the language actually chosen has important substantive consequences. “We the People of the United States” strongly supports the idea that the Constitution is one for a unified nation, rather than a treaty of separate sovereign states. (This, of course, had been the arrangement under the Articles of Confederation, the document the Constitution was designed to replace.) The idea of nationhood is then confirmed by the first reason recited in the Preamble for adopting the new Constitution—“to form a more perfect Union.” On the eve of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln invoked these words in support of the permanence of the Union under the Constitution and the unlawfulness of states attempting to secede from that union.

The other purposes for adopting the Constitution, recited by the Preamble— to “establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”—embody the aspirations that We the People have for our Constitution, and that were expected to flow from the substantive provisions that follow. The stated goal is to create a government that will meet the needs of the people.

As noted, the Preamble’s statements of purpose do not themselves grant powers or confer rights; the substantive provisions in the main body of the Constitution do that. There is not, for example, a general government power to do whatever it judges will “promote the general Welfare.” The national government’s powers are specified in Article I and other provisions of the Constitution, not the Preamble. Congress has never relied on the Preamble alone as the basis for a claimed power to enact a law, and the Supreme Court has never relied on the Preamble as the sole basis for any constitutional decision. Still, the declared purposes for the Constitution can assist in understanding, interpreting, and applying the specific powers listed in the articles, for the simple reason that the Constitution should be interpreted in a manner that is faithful to its purposes.

Finally, the Preamble declares that what the people have ordained and established is “this Constitution”—referring, obviously enough, to the written document that the Preamble introduces. That language is repeated in the Supremacy Clause of Article VI, which declares that “this Constitution” shall be the supreme law for the entire nation. The written nature of the Constitution as a single binding text matters and was important to the framing generation. The U.S. Constitution contrasts with the arrangement of nations like Great Britain, whose “constitution” is a looser collection of written and unwritten traditions constituting the established practice over time. America has a written constitution, not an unwritten one. The boundaries of what may be said and done in the name of the Constitution are marked by the words, phrases, and structure of the document itself. To be sure, there are disputes over what those words mean and how they are to be applied. But the enterprise of written constitutionalism is, at its core, the faithful interpretation and application of a written document adopted by the people as supreme law: “this Constitution for the United States of America.”

CDC INTERNMENT CAMPS FOR THE UNVACCINATED?

 

September 10, 2021

The picture posted with this article was created by me on August 9, 2021 and posted on social media.  The two pictures inserted are of World War II internment camps in the United States for Japanese American citizens.  The talk at that time by the government and media was about the bad and unworthy unvaccinated who are killing innocent people.  It was obvious where they were going with this non-sense. Thereby the creation of the above picture.

The next day, August 10, 2021, an article appeared that discussed the very subject by the CDC of camps for the high-risk people.  Read the study for yourself at this link.  Notice the date on the CDC study.  It is July 26, 2020.  Surprised anyone?

Two other recent articles concerning the same subject.

Article 1

Article 2

Then yesterday, September 9, 2021, the same day as Joe Biden’s orders to Americans, the CDC releases the true numbers of children dying of COVID.  Spoiler alert – it’s a total of eight out of 73 million children. COVID is about control, not care.  Read report

The American people are being lied to and misled in so many ways so the Democratic Socialists can take over complete control America, once and for all.

THE EPITOME OF SOCIALISM IN AMERICA

 

September 10, 2021

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

With the government edict yesterday, we are Witnessing the Epitome of Socialism in America.  Yet another attempt by the Democratic Socialists to undermine the United States Constitution and dilute the American Society of Freedom and Liberty. 

Yesterday September 9, 2021, Joe Biden issued an “order or mandate” to American citizens and corporations.  That “order or mandate” was a bold statement that the current government controlling the United States of America, knows more about what to do for its subjects (citizens) than the subjects (citizens) know what to do for themselves.  Or in other words, bow to your government’s demands or you will pay a price.  Are we also watching an effort to enslave Americans? 

The new Vaccine edict will be enforced by OSHA, Occupational Safety and Health Administration.  The Democratic Socialist’s attempt to make a law where no law exists.  Expanding an agency’s power where that power does not exist.

Joe Biden said he would use the Power of the President to stop Governors, "To get them out of the way".  What presidential power gives him the right to remove or stop a Governor from doing their job under the State's constitution or the United States Constitution?  And he further said "If you break the rules, be prepared to pay." "It's no longer about freedom or personal choice."  This is pure Totalitarianism.

 White House Chief of Staff Matthew Hamilton Tweeted this.  “Courts consider the intent and purpose of policies and Klain just endorsed the notion that OSHA rule is a "work-around" to enact flagrantly illegal federal vaccine mandates.”  In a second tweet Hamilton wrote, “If you've heard of literacy tests, the grandfather clause, and poll taxes then you understand why work-arounds are problematic.”

Then Stephanie Ruhle wrote, “OSHA doing this vax mandate as an emergency workplace safety rule is the ultimate work-around for the Federal government to require vaccinations.” 

What are some of the words used in this edict?  The “rules would force private-sector employers…”  The words force and mandate are words used by Communist’s dictators.  Not words from leaders in a free country.  By forcing fines on employers of $14,000.00 per incident is criminal.  Remember that part of Obamacare that required individual and corporations to buy health insurance or pay fines (tax)?  This is along the same lines.  The government taking away your freedom to choose for yourselves.  This is wrong and unconstitutional.  We citizens know that it is wrong and so does the Democratic Socialists.  But they are hoping to get away with it. 

Final thought:

If Americans do not comply, will the government resort to declaring Marshall Law?

WHY WE CELEBRATE LABOR DAY

September 6, 2021

Our Country has set aside the first Monday in September as Labor Day.  This year it falls on Sept. 6, 2021.  We take this time to Celebrate the long history of Workers in America.

Adam Smith wrote, "Labour was the first price, the original purchase - money that was paid for all things.  It was not by gold nor silver, but by labour, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased."

Labor Day is set aside for us to recognize, honor, and celebrate the farmers, ranchers, builders, explorers, adventurers, scientist, doctors, nurses, researchers, architects, and many more who left their Comfort Zones to better the lives of all Mankind.

Our Founding Fathers fully understood the God Given Rights of Freedom, Liberty and Property.  Their Vision was to create a Government that supported and protected those God Given Rights.  In their success, an Environment was created in America that unleashed the Spirit of Man to fully exercise those Rights.  The Spirit of Man then went forth with a Desire and Fortitude to reach for their Dreams, Personal Visions, and Beyond.  And with this came a Desire to be Inspired by Faith in their Creator.

Because of the New Environment or The Great Experiment of America, in its first 50 years of existence, America became the Wealthiest and most Productive country on the face of the earth.  America became the Beacon to the World.  Why?  Because Our Founding Fathers successfully unleashed the Spirit of Man.  Americans moved with a force never seen before in the history of mankind.  Comfort Zones were Stretched and Expanded.  Dreams and Visions became a Reality.  The Creative Mind was encouraged.  The American Worker took Pride in their Labors.  And to Perform Labor became a Badge of Honor.

This is the reason why we take the time to Pay Tribute to the Great American Working Tradition on Labor Day.

May we all Pray to our God in Heaven that this Spirit of Man, the Spirit of America, will continue to go forth and reach higher and higher.

May God continue to Bless the United States of America!

PATRIOTIC AMERICANS ARE THE MAJORITY

September 4, 2021

“My country, ‘tis of thee,

Sweet land of liberty,

Of thee I sing;

Land where my fathers died,

Land of the pilgrims’ pride,

From ev’ry mountainside

Let freedom ring!”

These are the words of the first verse of “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee”.  Many Americans have sung this hymn with a teary eye and a lump in their throats.

Samuel Francis Smith, a Baptist seminary student, wrote the hymn.  He was influenced by an English Lutheran hymn “God Bless Our Native Land”.  The music was based on “God Save The King”.  The hymn was first performed by a children’s choir in Boston, Massachusetts in 1831.

The point is this.  When singing or hearing this hymn today, most Americans are touched, and their Patriotism is lifted in their hearts and minds.  America has been and continues to be the Greatest Nation on Earth.  And more Americans know and believe that fact versus those who don’t.

Why do you think the news, pundits, politicians, and agree mobs verbally and physically attack Patriotic Americans?  Because they know there are more Patriotic Americans than not.  The angry anti-Americans are the minority.

For example:

In Florida the other day, a restaurant owner put a sign up that said if you support the current corrupt administration in government, take your business elsewhere.  The response to this announcement was overwhelming.  Donations came in and business was so big he ran out of food the first day.

In Orange County, California where a teacher tells her students to pledge allegiance to the LGBTQ flag instead of the American Flag, she was fired.  But the students took it to a higher level with a special message to the school and to America.  At Back Bay High School, they covered the school with American Flags.

At another school, a teacher had the Antifa flags in his room and taught anti-American doctrine.  Students complained to their parents.  The parents addressed the matter with the principle.  The teacher was dismissed.  But the parents still went to the local school board and reminded them of their duty to protect the children from anti-American indoctrination.

These are just a few of the many, many times that Patriotic Americans are Standing Up and Speaking Up for American Values and Principles.

Patriotic Americans are the Majority.  That should give us strength to move forward to preserve our Great Land of Freedom.  We The People are America.  May it continue that way forevermore.

Verse 4.

Our fathers’ God, to thee,

Author of liberty,

To thee we sing;

Long may our land be bright

With freedom’s holy light.

Protect us by thy might,

Great God, our King!

AFGHANISTAN PART IV

 

September 3, 2021

Joe Biden Surrenders America to Muslim Jihad Terrorists

The Obama/Clinton Arab Spring strategy to have the Middle East taken over and run by the Muslim Brotherhood was discussed in Afghanistan Part II.  That strategy was a failure for the most part.  The one thing it did accomplish was to embolden the Muslim Jihad Terrorist to reign havoc throughout the world, until Donald J. Trump became President of the United States of America with the “America First” agenda that was a very big success in America and with other Countries.

Then enters Joe Biden to the White House with the full support of Obama, George Soros, the Democratic Socialists, The Deep State, the Never-Trump RINOs from the Republican Party, and others who believed the United States should be brought to her knees and destroyed.  And everything changed, for the worse for Americans and her Allies.

Joe Biden and the list of anti-America supporters and followers had been planning for many years how to take America down and control the country in a Totalitarian State.  But certain things had to be in place for that to happen.  The plan was succeeding in many ways.  But one thing was missing.  

These next explanations answer the “What is Missing?” question. 

The wrong question is being asked about the total, absolute failure of the United States Military withdrawal from Afghanistan.  Everyone is asking ‘How could this happen?”.  But the right question to ask is “Why did a seemingly straightforward military exercise of withdrawal turn into such a chaotic international disaster?” 

To fully understand what is about to be presented comes from decisions and planning from so called leaders who want America not to be America anymore.  Steps had to be laid out as to ensure that the goals to hurt America would happen.

One thing that needed to happen is for China and Russia to benefit.  The oil pipeline benefit for Russia and the pipeline in Europe was a beginning.  Then China was missing a country to build a railroad from China to Iran.  Afghanistan was that country.  And they have it now thanks to Joe Biden.

One of the pictures at the top of the article is the route of the railroad.  Let’s name it the Taliban Railroad.  The Taliban Railroad will now provide a direct link between China and Iran with Russia having access as well.  Other countries the Taliban Railroad will run through is Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.  Five Muslim Jihad countries are now linked.  Do not forget that Turkey will be part of the railway too.

Thus, is created a Five-Nation Nation Railway Connecting China to Iran to Turkey.  The recent capture of Mazar-i-Sharif puts the whole Afghan segment under Taliban control with support from China, Russia, Iran and now Biden’s administration willing to support the Taliban.  Even though the Taliban has been gifted a full army’s worth of armaments and planes from Biden.  Under the guise of economic and humanitarian support, the Biden comrades want to send $9 billion to Afghanistan.  Right?

With control of Kabul and almost all of Afghanistan, a whole country slightly bigger than Texas, the Taliban and the Muslim Jihad Terrorists are free to do as they please.  Even Turkey has resumed bombing in Syria because nobody is there to stop them.  Ripple effects that will be heard around the world.  In a report out of Israel, the Taliban and Muslim Jihadists have free access to take over the Middle East and even beyond.

And the bigger WHY?

Let us get back to America and the bigger picture for the Democratic Socialists and the Globalists.  

What one big event could destroy credibility in America, weaken the United States Military, in one step turn America’s back on her allies, and damage America in the eyes of the world and many Americans?  The answer is Afghanistan.  The answer is a complete and total surrender to the Taliban and the Muslim Jihad Terrorists in Afghanistan.  In one event, Joe Biden and his handlers have managed to do to America what could not be done before.  Bring America closer to her knees.  Even opening the Southern Border has not had this kind of effect.

This is not America.  We The People know this is not America.  The American Individual and Family is the Strength of America.  Not the Government.  We The People will not allow the government to rule by an iron fist.  Not In America.  Not now, not ever.

Take counsel and heed from two of our Founding Fathers to focus on the work and ideals we need to do to rid America of a Totalitarian Government.  And to protect the Values and Principles of the United States Constitution.

"I have sworn upon the altar of god, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."  Thomas Jefferson

“These are the times that try men's souls.

The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value.

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.

The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

We have it in our power to begin the world over again.

Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.

I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense.”

Thomas Paine, Common Sense

Let this be the cry of We The People to rekindle that Flame of American Patriotism in our Hearts, Minds and Souls.  Let our voices be heard like the Roaring of Lions.  Raise our voices in Mighty Prayer to Almighty God to Preserve and Protect America and strengthen our Resolve to Preserve our Sacred Constitution.  Pray that the Light from above will guide our Work to protect Our God given Rights of Freedom and Liberty.  Block from our Minds the Negative and Hateful Influences that Divide the Great People of America.  Raise again the Banner of Freedom and Liberty, The American Flag, with Honor, Hope, and Dignity.  Let not our Hearts be Troubled with the Evil that surrounds us.  

ARISE AMERICA, ARISE! Like the Phoenix from the ashes.  WE THE PEOPLE ARE AMERICANS.  The world needs to see that American Human Spirit unleased which made this Country the Greatest on Earth.  LET FREEDOM RING!
