305 – Convention of States

With the recent passing of legislation in both the Wisconsin and Nebraska legislatures, the call for a Convention of States is once again in the news. This has brought up a lot of comments and more than a few questions. So what is this Convention of States? What can happen if one is called? And…

303 – Nuremberg Code and the COVID-19 “Vaccines”

Many of you may be wondering what medical ethics has to do with the Constitution. Many who’ve been following what’s been going on with the COVID-19 “vaccine” and related mandates have asked me about the Nuremberg Codes. While this set of medical ethics is not law in the United States, it does support the rights protected by the Constitution. Understanding this code, and how the Constitution protects your rights is paramount if liberty and freedom are to survive the attack they are under by enemies both governmental and societal.

301 – The Federal Government v. The American People – Oral Arguments

By the time this article posts, the Supreme Court will have probable offered their opinion on the injunctions against OSHA’s mandates against private businesses and HHS’ against healthcare providers. Before the court could render its opinion, there were oral arguments. While many court watchers seemed to believe the court would offer restriction if not find the mandates illegal, reading the transcripts of the oral arguments showed a much more serious failure in our legal system, the judicial branch, and the potential failure of our constitutional republic.

300 – Consequences of a Government Run Amok

Recently, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against Xavier Becerra, Secretary of Health and Human Services enforcing new rules regarding COVID-19 “vaccine” and mask mandates in Head Start programs. While this is good news for liberty in America, it also hides a terrifying secret. That more and more, America is run less like a constitutional republic and more like a kingdom or an oligarchy, where those in positions of power merely dictate to the rest of us how we are to live our lives. The case Texas v. Becerra is not over, and neither is the need of the American people to rein in the out of control government that resides in Washington, D.C.

299 – Advanced Managing of the American People

Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the Constitution is the Necessary and Proper Clause. “To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.” Does that mean Congress can pass any law which they think is necessary? Enter the new law, H.R.3684 – Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. In Section 24220, Congress “finds” it necessary to require new cars to include drunk and impaired driving technology. The question we should all have asked was, is that a power vested in the government of the United States?

298 – Defending Public Liberty

There are certain idea that we find detestable. Concepts we find repulsive. Even some actions that we cannot abide. But do we have the right to tell other people that they must live by what we find acceptable? How many dystopian novels are based in the idea that only approved thought is allowed in society? Benjamin Franklin, writing as Silence Dogood wrote:

“Without Freedom of Thought, there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as publick Liberty, without Freedom of Speech; which is the Right of every Man, as far as by it, he does not hurt or controul the Right of another: And this is the only Check it ought to suffer, and the only Bounds it ought to know.

What will you do to protect public liberty? What will you allow, not because you approve, but because you recognize the right of others to live differently than you?

297 – Controlling a Constitutionally Protected Right

The Declaration of Independence lists some of our inalienable rights. It also says “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men”. If governments are created to secure our rights, does that mean they have the legitimate power to regulate them? Yet in many situations, governments at all levels claim that power. So what happens when We the People allow governments to control our rights? More importantly, what can we do to regain control of our rights.
