Notes from the Resistance
There is a plan underway to close the great open spaces of the American West to you, me, our children, and our children’s children. The federal government — which owns most of this land — is determined to move from a “use and let use” system of accessing Western public lands to a permission-based system that will mean reservations, permits, and closures.

Hey, what happened to Article. 1. Section. 8. Clause 17?
Sing it, Roy:

Acosta repeatedly asked Norman how Republicans planned to secure the border if there is a government shutdown and said, “I guess I don’t understand that.” [More]
HOW DO YOU EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO WORK IF IT’S RESTRAINED BY THE CONSTITUTION…???
Disregarding for a moment that there’s such a thing as priorities and it’s not like the powers that be are just going to tell the military to go home, there’s a whole ‘nother deliberately unused resource that those same powers have a vested interest in ignoring…
The Biden administration has awarded an anti-terrorism grant worth more than half-a-million dollars to an LGBTQ activist group, which distributes condoms and “sex education” material, to expand its “in-school support for LGBTQ+ youth” as young as age 6. [More]
And on top of that, they’re communists!
Remember in the Constitution where this power is delegated to the Executive branch?
Just remember, if you object, you’re anti-government.
And a racist.

Despite concerns, California committee approves call for constitutional convention on gun control [More]
That’s because they’re subversives like Gavin.
Still, it’s nice to see totalitarians like Scott Wiener recognizing the dangers inherent in a Con-Con.
Why so many ostensible “conservatives” don’t is one of the paradoxes of our time.

In other words, big city liberals want to deal only with people in their own political strongholds. They don’t want rural, small-town Ohioans to have a say. [More]
It’s the model established nationwide by Michael Bloomberg and Everytown.
I have an Issue 1 article coming out later today on AmmoLand.
“We should be serving people. Is 60% serving the people?” said Akron Mayor Daniel Horrigan… going from majority rule to 60% rule that’s pretty significant of a change,” said Horrigan. [More]
So I guess he really hates the federal requirements and considers his judgment superior to the Framers’. Nothing like changing the Constitution by ginned-up mob rule to guarantee somebody will be served.
Daniel’s the same Democrat liar (but I repeat myself) who wants us to believe infringements against you and me are what would have saved Na’kia, Mar’Viyah, and MiKayla.
Ohio gun owners: What are you doing to make Issue 1 truth a priority?
Issue 1, a ballot initiative that asks Ohio voters if the state should strengthen the petition process and raise the threshold to 60% for approving constitutional amendment proposals… [More]
Otherwise, urban Democrats will presume to dictate your rights for you.

I agree.
I’d just like to see the way around the speech or debate clause fleshed out.
Neocons in the 80s and 90s used to warn people off of the CoS rout always bringing up the runaway convention argument. Amendments proposed by the CoS still have to be ratified by 38 states, thus killing worries for runaway conventions. We all know congress will NEVER vote to limit themselves, so lets try a CoS. We are already quickly headed down the path the late great Mike Vanderboegh warned us about repeatedly. [More]
I’d be careful about invoking Vanderboegh’s name to make your case.
As for the “38 states” redirect/deferral, I see nobody’s considering what’s happening all around us, every day, with no end in sight…
Founders Knew: They Foresaw Today’s Unaccountable Government! [More]
Understanding the arguments of the Founding Era is critical to informed citizenship.
673 university professors sign letter opposing courses on America’s founding, Constitution – UNC professors say requiring courses on American history violates ‘academic freedom’ [More]
So couldn’t the same be said for requiring ANY course?
I wonder what rulers in other countries that don’t recognize Constitutional protections have to say about annoying “educators”…?

So the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is celebrating its 20th birthday—the perfect opportunity to rethink the whole concept of “homeland security” and how to best provide it. DHS has grown into a monster that is massively expensive, incredibly ineffective, and reliably destructive of basic civil liberties. It’s time to abolish it and replace it with fewer, smaller, and more accountable agencies. [More]
First, let’s talk about what those agencies would be Constitutionally authorized to do.

Pentagon announces largest-ever defense budget request [More]
Funny– Congress never spends even one penny on “organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States.” And none of those “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” are demanding it.
Seeing as how the authors of the Constitution they all swore an oath to uphold viewed it as “being necessary to the security of a free State,” Why do you suppose that is?

New ways for swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance…
Everybody knows the clause in the Constitution that delegates and authorizes these powers, don’t you?
Anybody…?
“The Constitution is a GLORIOUS LIBERTY DOCUMENT.” These words were delivered by a former slave. The all-caps emphasis was his. In an 1852 speech entitled What to the Slave is the Fourth of July the inimitable Frederick Douglass called out the evil of slavery while praising an undeniable instrument of liberation: the U.S. Constitution. [More]
So… he wasn’t black?
