The states and the people
still have authority, not the federal government
REMEMBER this if you watch bumbling Biden's SOTU speech...
The increasingly dangerous non-constitutional
overreach of the Federal Government should alarm anyone. And yet, while some
state legislatures and governors are working to stop the power theft (like
Virginia's new governor Glenn Youngkin, much to the consternation of those who
want complete Federal authority over everyone), many Libertarians and
conservatives seem pacified by the current administration and congressional
makeup.
Civil liberty supporting liberals were
alarmingly tolerant of war and overreaching surveillance under Obama, just as
many people who considered Obama overreach a sign of tyranny supported a growth
in government power under President Trump. And they all seem fine with the
Biden administration's attempts at further ruling every aspect of our lives
under the guise of COVID, "far-right" terrorism, or a
"rise" in whatever bogeyman they can dream up to scare the populace.
Fear and liberty haven't coexisted very well
over the course of history. It doesn't matter whether we're talking about fear
of government, fear of lawlessness, or fear of disease.
Unfortunately, many of today's voting-age
Americans have never even read the U.S. Constitution, which was written to
prevent all of it. Apparently, most civics classes in public schools today
dwell on other things. So far too many people have no clue how far their
government has overreached and taken away their liberty.
But here's the truth: The 10th Amendment states:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, or
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to
the people."
Ever since the Southern states were prohibited
from removing themselves from an alliance that no longer worked in their favor
– an alliance they entered into voluntarily — the U.S. government has grown
increasingly more powerful.
Here's what has transpired since: During reconstruction the Republican Party
centralized government, subsidized railroads, raised taxes on Southern property
and businesses, then confiscated the property when taxes couldn't be paid and
established an education system that taught a revisionist history of the run-up
to and causes of the war.
Then, in 1917 Congress established the Federal
Reserve — a non-constitutional entity with the power to control the U.S. money
supply — President Franklin Roosevelt pushed through New Deal provisions that
further empowered the Federal Government while enriching certain
constituencies, President Nixon further destroyed the dollar and monetary
freedom by taking the U.S. off the gold standard, The U.S. declared multiple
"wars" on its own citizens in the form of the war on drugs and then
the privacy-destroying war on terror, and Presidents Bush, Obama, Trump and now
Biden have pushed through extra-constitutional spending bills that send
spending into the ultra-stratosphere.
Does it then surprise anyone that the mood of
many in our country reached a tipping point as a result, or that radio and TV
talk shows are alive with voices proposing that America return to its
constitutional roots? Tea Party activists denounced the growing government and
were squashed and deplatformed by the establishment starting a decade ago, and
here we are, right back in the same place.
Unfortunately, many in America don't understand what
all the hubbub is about. So, to help them understand, here are five talking
points from the 10th Amendment Center:
- The
People created the federal government to be their agent for certain
enumerated purposes only. The rest is to be handled by the state
governments, or locally, by the people themselves. The Constitution does
not include a congressional power to override state laws. It does not give
the judicial branch unlimited jurisdiction over all matters. It does not
provide Congress with the power to legislate over everything.
- If
Congress had been intended to carry out anything they claim would promote
the "general welfare," what would be the point of listing its
specific powers in Article I, Section 8, since these would've already been
covered?
- The
states remain individual and unique sovereignties; they were empowered in
areas that the Constitution did not delegate to the federal government.
Any federal attempt to legislate beyond the constitutional limits of
Congress's authority is unconstitutional.
- Governments
and political leaders are best held accountable to the will of the people
when government is local. The people of a state know what is best for
them; they do not need bureaucrats, potentially thousands of miles away,
governing their lives.
- We
agree with historian Kevin Gutzman, who has said that those who would give
us a "living" Constitution are actually giving us a dead one
since such a thing is completely unable to protect us against the
encroachments of government power.
If you want to first halt then reverse the tide
of government overreach, pass these points around to your friends and send them
to your state and U.S. representatives.
As another midterm election approaches,
Americans need to thoroughly examine their current Representative in the House
and their Senator and determine whether he or she has voted in a way that
expands governmental overreach, or in a way that upholds the constitutional
principles of the Founding Fathers.
If that Representative is found worthy, vote him
or her back into office. If not, find an alternative. If your Senator passes
the test and is on the ballot in November — a third of them are up for
re-election — then re-elect him or her. But if he or she has failed the test,
examine the alternative there.
Hopefully, the alternative candidate will
understand that Americans are tired of a Congress that grows government into an
ever-larger freedom-crushing leviathan and apparently doesn't understand that,
as James Madison wrote, anything the government does beyond the few enumerated
powers means the government is overreaching. Our Founders wanted to limit
government because they saw how oppressive it could become. The future they saw
and warned against is our present.
Yours for the truth,
Bob Livingston
USEFUL RESOURCES
When you
include ginseng and beans in your meals, you provide your skin with a
storehouse of anti-oxidants that fight against rapid aging.
Personally, each time I consume
ginseng, I feel less tired.
Anchovies are another excellent
choice, because they mop up free radicals that promote rapid ageing.
Grape seed oil, or extract promotes youthfulness,
because of its very powerful anti-aging properties that erase wrinkles in
unimaginable ways.
Fresh fruits and vegetables prevent
rapid ageing, because they are powerful sources of anti-oxidants, as well as
vitamins A and C.
My colleagues always wonder why I
carry florets of broccoli and wedges of cabbage as snacks in my handbag.
I have just revealed to them one of
the secrets to my youthfulness!
When you eat cruciferous vegetables
like cabbages and broccoli, their powerful anti-oxidants help detox all the
impurities that are stuffed up in your body.
Stockpiling
enough food to keep you and your family alive for a long time can be very
challenging. Think about it: However much you spend on your weekly shopping
trip is how much a week's worth of emergency food could cost. And that's just
one week.
There's a reason certain foods have remained so popular among
preppers and survivalists. Rice and beans, for example. They have a long
shelf-life, they're filling, and they're good for you. These foods will always
make the cut, while others are best reserved for softer times. (Sorry, salad
lovers.)
In this article, we're going to take a look at the fifteen most
popular survival foods and talk about why they're so popular. If you're
preparing for a disaster, consider getting every one of these...

Over the decades Americans have lost much of their freedoms and ALL of their privacy thanks to corrupt politicians and special interests; the real calamity is how few citizens seem to get it.
I don't know anyone who trusts Biden or the Socialist party he represents; we've been screwed by this bastard.
