I was watching a recorded interview of a guy talking in the lobby of the Trump International Hotel In Washington DC on Jan 5th. He was stating that tomorrow, Jan 6th there was going to be fighting for the Constitution. Now, I don’t want to get into all the garbage about it being preplanned because that may be for another blog. What I want to discuss is where in the hell is this insurrection stuff in the Constitution? I have looked and I don’t see it. I am not a Constitutional lawyer like Ted Cruz but I looked anyway. That Ted Cruz bit is sarcasm by the way.

I know there are people who think the Second Amendment was put there for the people to rebel against the government. I believe such great Constitutional defenders like Rand Paul and Matt Geatz have stated that much. More sarcasm. I don’t see where that wording is. Now it does talk about the Security of a free State. It does not talk about the rebellion anywhere. People will say that you have to read between the lines. I am sorry; the Second Amendment is just one line. No lines to read between. Being just one sentence I have to believe the writers knew what they were writing about. It was put there for defense and it says so. Nowhere does in say anything about a group of people rebelling against the government. It was put there for the security of that government. It was put there to protect us from the very insurrectionists that wanted to use it to destroy our democracy.

What would they have done if they were successful? What would they have done is they succeeded to put Trump up on his throne? I would think that the Supreme court would have something to say about that because that is not in the Constitution. There is no way that it says that a person can be reinstated to the Presidency or any other office. For that to happen, the whole Constitution would have to be thrown out the window along with the Supreme Court. At that point the United States that we knew ceases to exists. The great experiment is over. Is that what the money people want? I know that this is what Putin wants. Is this what the majority of Americans want?

As I have stated many times the freedom that our forefathers fought for was the opportunity to form their own representative government. They fought for the ability to write that Constitution that so many today would just as soon throw out the window. They claim to be patriots but it was patriots that wrote that document and I am pretty sure they would not be in favor of you just destroying their vision. I know I wouldn’t be if I was one of them. They wrote it in a way so it could keep on evolving with the times. I think that when they wrote they knew that someday slavery would be no more and the country would have to evolve with the times. I really think that those guys were smart and had a real vision of the future for their new country.

Now there are ways to change the Constitution but armed insurrection is not one of them, that is the way to destroy it. The way is called Amendments to the Constitution. That is the only way that I can see that it can be changed short of a Constitutional Convention and I think that two thirds of the states would have to request it. I could be wrong. You know I am not a constitutional expert like Josh Hawley. More sarcasm.

An armed insurrection is how our Constitution and our Democracy dies, not how it is preserved.  That is not what our forefathers had in mind. What they had in mind is a government of the people, by the people, for the people. This is not just white people or brown people, All people. The lying and the misinformation have to stop. It only weakens us and strengthens our enemies. Why would one side or the other want to weaken America? Who benefits from a weakened America? Those are the questions that the whole nation should be asking. That is the question that I am asking you. Who benefits? I think if you really think about it you will realize that it isn’t you that benefits.

  In 1776 we declared our independence against a Monarch that was above the law. I wonder what John Adams would think about what the Supreme Court just ruled. I believe, what the Supreme Court just ruled is contrary to what the intention of the men that wrote and approved our Declaration of Independence.   This Fourth of July it would be a good idea if everyone would start out by reading the Declaration of Independence. The words that always have always stuck with me are “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Do those words still hold true? The three branches of the Government get their just powers from the people. Not the rich people. Not the Republicans. Not the Democrats. It is...
This is my continued search on whether Trump has the Character to be President. A person I know stated “His character matters bc it is in the character I believe he has the leadership, knowledge, wisdom, experience, compassion, integrity that will lead us on the path towards a more safe, secure, healthy, prosperous, free world than the direction we are headed.” My last blog looked at his character as integrity from a legal standpoint before he even was elected President. From a legal standpoint there is no way I would have thought he had the integrity to be President. Now I will look at some of his Moral Integrity and Compassion that should be there from the man that sits in the White House.  I have to say something about Donald Trump, he sure is a believer in the institution of marriage. He likes marriage so much that he has said “I do” three times. What his problem with marriage is the actual vow that he has to take. You know that love, honor, and cherish until death do us part. ...
  It is a new game but it is still being played just like the old one. Biden has chosen not to run for a 2 nd term and it looks like Kamala Harris will get the Democratic nomination. This drastically changes what the election will look like. Instead of two old white guys facing one another we will have a woman that is 19 years younger than the Republican nominee Donald Trump. Donald Trump went from saying Biden was too old and senile even though he was only three years younger than Biden to the old guy that appears to be too old and senile. Since Biden’s debate performance he had been under a considerable amount of pressure to drop out of the race. I have admitted in a past post when Biden came on stage he looked frail and in the beginning of the debate Trump’s tactics really confused Biden. He did get better as the debate went on but it was too late for that. The first 5 minutes was all that anyone remembered. Trump used a debating technique that is called “Gish Gallop” where a...
