Our Current Government Is No Longer Constitutional
Posted By: Imright, 10/19/2024 12:22:03 AM
September 17 was Constitution Day, a day set aside for American patriots to commemorate the moment 237 years ago, when delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed that document. It’s all the day when a prominent Philadelphia matron, Elizabeth Willing Powel, ambushed Benjamin Franklin as he left Constitution Hall. Spying Franklin, she pounced with the interrogatory, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” This is the famous question to which Franklin uttered his famous response: “A republic, if you can keep it!” Today’s patriots commemorate this brief colloquy precisely because of the chilling fact that we haven’t “kept” that republic. Since at least WWII,

On the campaign trail this month, former President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to “close the federal Department of Education” and expand school choice — a wildly popular concept that cuts across party lines, new polling shows.
Good news: If he wins the White House again, he can do both.
The federal Department of Education is an unconstitutional waste of time and money. Its very existence arguably violates the Tenth Amendment: The word “education” appears nowhere in the Constitution.
The federal government has spent well over a trillion dollars on K-12 education since the department’s inception, while failing to improve student performance.
If former President Donald Trump wins Georgia for the first time since 2016, it’ll be because he succeeded in getting a key demographic to come out for him during ongoing early voting and on Election Day.
That’s what an East Carolina University poll shows, with more than one in five black men in the Peach State down with the Donald.
Twenty-two percent of the group backs Trump, with Democrat Kamala Harris at 74% and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 4%.
A lot was going on with this panel. At times, it was even-keeled, with Brian Stelter noting that Donald Trump had some good jokes at the Al Smith Dinner, which Kamala Harris infamously skipped because she’d embarrass herself. There was also a moment to study the density of the liberal media bubble, which still thinks that Donald Trump is going to jail journalists and his political enemies, which no one cares about. That’s the funny part about this whole circus—they think they know what voters are genuinely concerned about, and they don’t.
North Carolina’s Asheville Police Department is trying to find the owners of dozens of family photos that were found by first responders who sifted through the rubble from Hurricane Helene.
“Amid the debris and devastation wrought by the Swannanoa and French Broad rivers, APD officers found and saved dozens of family photographs that survived the storm,” the department said in a Thursday post to Facebook.
“Though the water was strong enough to demolish buildings, uproot trees, and bend and tear steel, it could not wash away the memories contained within these photos. The Asheville Police Department would therefore like to see them returned to their rightful owners.”

Kamala Harris couldn’t even answer a few softball questions from NBC’s Peter Alexander after she delivered remarks in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Peter Alexander asked Kamala Harris if there is one policy she would have done differently over the past 3.5 years than Joe Biden.
The last time Kamala Harris was asked this question, she totally bombed and said she would do nothing different.
So she came up with a new answer. This time, Kamala Harris said ‘vice presidents are not critical of their presidents.’
“President Biden said every president has to cut their own path. What is one policy you would have done differently over these last three and a half years t

Donald Trump slammed Kamala Harris on Friday describing her as a 'loser who doesn't go to any events' after she described him as being 'exhausted' on the campaign trail.
Democrat Harris raised questions about Republican Trump's physical stamina to serve effectively as president as the two rivals tore through the deadlocked battleground state of Michigan on Friday.
Harris, who turns 60 on Sunday, pressed the case to raise doubts about the 78-year-old Trump. Age had been an issue when President Joe Biden, 81, was still in the race, but had faded after he dropped his election bid.
Former President Donald Trump promised a “stunning rebirth” of Detroit during a rally in the Motor City on Friday that was marred by technical difficulties.
Trump, 78, blamed Democrats and “globalist politicians” – including President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris – for Detroit’s decline, while making the case that his plan to impose “massive tariffs” on vehicles imported from Mexico will bring about a resurgence in Michigan’s largest city.
“Detroit has such great potential,” the Republican nominee argued. “But Kamala and the Democrats have been wreaking havoc on this place.”
Donald Trump served up a “Turkey” roast to Eric Adams at the Al Smith Dinner — and the mayor is gobbling it up.
The former president peppered the star-studded crowd at Thursday’s swanky white-tie event with jokes and gripes, including a zinger aimed at both Adams’ plant-based diet and alleged taste for Turkish graft.
“I’ve never met a person who’s a vegan who liked Turkey so much,” Trump said about Adams, who was seated nearby. (Photo) Adams laughed off the burn when asked about it Friday, describing it as par the course for the annual Catholic fundraiser, where muckety-mucks yuck it up at each others’ expense.
Former President Donald Trump campaigned in Michigan on Friday with the Arab American mayor who previously endorsed him.
Trump visited the city of Hamtramck, and was seen campaigning with Hamtramck Mayor Ameer Ghalib during a press conference. Ghalib noted that the Democrat Party was trying to “scare” legal second and third-generation immigrants in the Arab American and Muslim-American community that Trump was coming to “deport them.” “They say every week — they have a different concept for me, ‘I’m going to be the biggest dictator in the world. I’m going to destroy the world,'” Trump said.
It shouldn't be considered incredibly brave for Vice President Kamala Harris to consent to an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News. J.D. Vance has been doing hostile Sunday shows for months while Harris resorted to the basement strategy. Then, once Team Kamala booked a "media blitz," they bizarrely went on offense. Mediaite posted this headline: "Kamala Harris Hammers Trump Avoiding Debate and Tough Interviews: He'd 'Rather Cocoon Himself in Safe Spaces' of Conservative Media." This was after she appeared in a cavalcade of cocoon interviews with Howard Stern, Stephen Colbert and the unanimous Democrats on "The View."
Kamala Harris is getting desperate as Trump sprints ahead in the polls.
Harris trashed Trump as she spoke to union members in Lansing, Michigan after going on an unhinged rant in Grand Rapids on Friday.
“[Trump] thinks that the value of your work is essentially meaningless,” Harris told the union workers after she played a clip of Trump. “That’s what he’s saying. To compare it to child’s work? When we here know the work you do is complex. You do it with great care. You work hard. You are highly skilled. You are highly trained, and the best auto workers in the world is who you are.”

Fans at Florida’s Disney World theme park are furious and offended over the extremely high prices of the food at a new bakery opening this fall with a single slice of cake priced as high as $26, and a Coca Cola at $8 a cup.
The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers which will open soon on the BoardWalk at Disney World in Orland, Florida, is set to replace the ESPN Club which was closed in 2020. But Disney fans are already ripping the new shop before it has even opened after the bakery’s price list was revealed on Reddit.
Former Hamas head Yahya Sinwar could be seen throwing a stick at the IDF drone that targeted him on Thursday moments before his assassination, Israel's military showed in released footage.
In the footage, a masked Sinwar is circled in red with the stick that he threw at the drone. Sinwar can then be seen throwing the stick in the direction of the drone as he sits on a couch surrounded by the rubble of the building he was located within. IDF Spokesperson R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari released the footage late on Thursday night during his statement confirming Sinwar's death, where he described the events leading up to the assassination.

A new ad for Pennsylvania Democratic senator Bob Casey features a married couple with different politics but who find common ground on the incumbent senator. On politics, we just don’t agree — except for Bob Casey. He’s independent. That’s right! Casey’s leading the effort to stop corporate greed-flation and price gouging. Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating.
First, don’t buy the spin that Bob Casey is some independent maverick; he voted with the Biden administration’s position 98.5 percent of the time.
Second, note Casey isn’t

Washington— The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.
The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.
The information that could be seen in the redacted version released Friday appeared to be material that for the most part

Alarm on Voting Machine Switching Votes

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to social media platform X to sound the alarm on a disturbing incident reported by a voter in Whitfield County, Georgia’s 14th district.
According to Greene, a constituent in Whitfield County noticed that their printed ballot did not reflect the selections they made on the voting machine, particularly changing their vote away from candidates they had chosen.
According to a viral Facebook post:
“FYI to all my voting friends and family a friend of mine in Whitfield County yesterday voted/ checked his selections then printed it checked the printed version and it was not marked the same !!!
No, it’s not “the economy, stupid,” in spite of the schizophrenic stock market since our remarkably resilient capitalistic economy ran head-on into the socialist-cum-communist Biden-Harris regime, with its $1.8-trillion deficit.
And no, it’s not domestic policy, where we have had the luxury of being on the receiving end of these:
High taxes.
High food prices.
High gas prices.
Sky-high regulations.
Alarmingly high crime rates throughout the country, particularly in states run by Democrats, where arrests are few, bail is nonexistent, and raging criminals enjoy no consequences for their assaults, rapes, murders, racist attacks, etc.
Former President Bill Clinton busted out a bizarre and confusing impression of Donald Trump Thursday, during which he suggested that the GOP nominee might send him to “supermax” prison for life.
Clinton, 78, made no real attempt at capturing Trump’s distinctive voice or mannerisms when he spoke as the 45th president during a North Carolina rally with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz – with the intention of conveying that he might be considered by Trump to be “the danger within.”
“When you sign up, the oath says you promise to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” Clinton told the crowd
If Kamala Harris Wins

Sometimes “What if?” questions are merely counterfactual academic exercises. Sometimes, however, they are existential conundrums. The question, “What if Kamala Harris wins the 2024 presidential election?” belongs firmly in the latter category. As I have noted elsewhere, I believe Donald Trump will not only win, but win resoundingly. All the same, the huge influx of illegal immigrants, strategically managed by Biden and Harris to be maximally advantageous, combined with the disastrous state of our voter rolls, might mean even if Trump wins, he doesn’t end up in the Oval Office. So: what if?

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) quietly revised its crime data for 2022, less than three weeks until the Nov. 5 election and conveniently after presidential and vice presidential debates.
Vice President Kamala Harris must be breathing a sigh of relief knowing that the FBI waited until the last possible moment to correct the nation’s 2023 violent crime data report. It initially reported that the rate fell by 2.1% in 2022 but has since been updated to show it actually increased by 4.5%, proving Republicans’ claims that violent crime is plaguing the nation.

If anyone needs proof that the Kamala Harris campaign has cracked its axle gear at high speed and is spinning off into wild and crazy directions, take a look at Kamala Harris's campaign's own bizarre response to President Trump's appearance at the Al Smith dinner to raise money for Catholic Charities: It's as if Harris were describing herself. Everyone knows she can't talk without a teleprompter and memorized lines, and that she word-salads her speech. Her minion described a combination of Harris and Joe Biden in all their personal failures, and then weirdly called it 'Trump.'
Her allies at the Washington Post responded in similar fashion: Here is the Trump
FBI Caught Red-Handed Fudging Crime Data

Readers of I&I know all about how the Biden-Harris regime has been fudging jobs numbers to make monthly gains look bigger than they really are. Turns out, it’s been doing the same with crime statistics … this time to make it look like violent crime is on the way down.
RealClearInvestigations dug into the FBI’s data and found that the law enforcement agency had been criminally misreporting crime statistics in a way that just happened to help Biden-Harris look like it’s been tough on crime.
Last fall, for example, the FBI reported that violent crime had dropped by 2.1% in 2022.
