Constitutional Crisis

Original Article

Perhaps you have not been paying attention over the last few weeks and months, or maybe you are one of the masses who just do not care. However, in case there is a glimmer of interest, you need to know that there is a dramatic and real constitutional crisis facing our nation that has tentacles that will reach far beyond what many may think is possible. While the U.S. Constitution, our nation’s basic document, intended to create co-equal branches of government ripe with checks and balances to offset extraordinary power in any individual segment, the reality of that aspiration has never quite been accomplished.

Don't make it necessary for the fourth and most powerful branch of the government to take action. That would be We the People.

To prevent one group from seizing all the power, the design objective was that political power would be distributed across many different groups. Local governments and State governments (as designed within each of the states), and the national (federal) government given the authority as described in the Constitution, and ALL other power residing with the States and the people. Then the federal government was intended to have three co-equal branches, the House representatives selected directly, the Senators selected by the State governments, the President via the Electoral Collage, and the Judiciary appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate (that is, the State government's representatives); so that the people in each branch was selected by a different process. However, the Judiciary early on seized dominant power, and I have NEVER seen the Judiciary overruled by either the Executive or Legislative branches. The power grab has gradually extended to today's situation where any of the -what is it, 677?- Federal judges can arbitrarily overrule the President on any manner they choose, and then who makes the final decision?... the Supreme Court!.... the Federal courts hulking THUG big brother. Gee, I wonder who the Supreme Court will decide has 'The Power'? When push comes to shove, I have NEVER seen the 'Supreme Court' overpowered. The Supreme Court can overrule the President, and can declare laws 'Unconstitutional', overruling the Legislative branch. Is there ANY limit on the POWER of 5 people on the Supreme Court who are working together on any issue? OK, L-Dotters...... tell me..... has it EVER happened? When? What was the Issue? I am not aware of any. The simultaneous situation of the permanent 'BORG' bureaucracy that grinds on, doing what it wants regardless of what the elected officials direct it to do, seems a related but separate issue.

#2 sums it up. It has become every man for himself. No controlling authority, to quote Algore. Been that way throughout history. Men/women don't want to be "shackled" to God and His Word. This is what you get.

A 13-year-old boy battling incurable brain cancer is on a quest to set a Guinness World Record for being sworn in by 1,000 law enforcement agencies across the country. Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, whose dream is to become a police officer, was thrust into the national spotlight when he was sworn in by President Donald Trump as a Secret Service agent before a joint session of Congress March 4. Daniel has already been sworn in by 914 agencies, making the record-setting dream a near reality. He already holds multiple records, including having the most keys to the city and the most “proclamation days.”

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) told Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday that his legislation, the “No Rogue Rulings Act,” would be a “first step” in reining in “rogue actors” by limiting federal district court judges’ power to issue nationwide injunctions. Issa’s appearance on the program comes as federal district judges, like Judge James Boasberg in Washington, DC, have ruled against key Trump executive orders with nationwide injunctions. “It’s a first step, and I tell everyone, we’re going to be taking many steps to rein in these rogue actors,” Issa told Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle. “This particular one limits their ability to do nationwide injunctions.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is facing renewed backlash after a resurfaced video shows her making a racist attack about Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and his family during a June interview on The Breakfast Club podcast with Charlamagne tha God. Crockett egregiously accused Donalds of being “whitewashed” because he is married to a White woman. “I feel like they give him his talking points, and he’s like, yes, massa, I got it,” she said. The two also attacked Donalds and lied about his past comments on black families, accusing him of saying “life was better under Jim Crow.” However, Donalds never said this.

Numerous leftists have been caught keying Tesla cars and Cybertrucks amid nonstop media attacks against Elon Musk. However, some of the attacks against Tesla owners have become violent. A 61-year-old woman driving a Tesla was boxed in by a male driver and beaten by him while she was sitting in her car. The violent attack took place in Flagstaff, Arizona, last week. The victim, who wished to remain anonymous and was referred to as “Susan,” told AZ Family that she was appalled when a motorist chased her, boxed her in and began beating her through an open car window.

A cocky, violent anti-DOGE agitator picked a fight with the wrong guy at a protest that has since gone viral on social media. Comedian Danny Mullen posted a video on YouTube showing his activities at a sizeable anti-Tesla demonstration in Palo Alto, California earlier this month. He showed up to the protest wearing a DOGE shirt and pro-Trump hat, seeing these individuals as perfect targets for his comedy routine. Throughout the video, Mullen provides commentary explaining his thought process during his time in enemy territory. At first, the protesters reacted to his presence peacefully, with most understanding that Mullen was trolling them.

It's crunch time in Wisconsin, folks. Conservatives in Wisconsin are probably already keenly aware of the critical judicial election that will be happening Tuesday in the Badger State. For that matter, plenty of people on the left are also keenly aware of it. It's a critical race, we need every single warm body to turn out to vote for the conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate, Brad Schimel. Wisconsin's former Governor Scott Walker, on Thursday, penned a column in the Washington Times explaining precisely why. Judges are trying to block the will of the majority of us who voted for President Trump. The outcome of the Supreme Court race in Wisconsin

President Donald Trump is not only having to face Democrats who want to stand in the way of his agenda but activist judges who are stepping on his ability to exercise the power of the presidency over the Executive Branch. It's had some on the right calling for answers as to how to deal with the judges who want to tell the administration who they are allowed to deport and who even they can fire when it's the president who controls the Executive Branch. Trump may win some of these issues on appeal, but in the meantime, Democrats are trying to slow things down by this delaying tactic.

One of the greatest and most sublime of human traits is showing gratitude. I spoke recently with a friend who has been doing a lot of fighting in Gaza. He expressed his great appreciation to President Donald Trump for all of the material that the IDF has been receiving since the president returned to office. D9 tractors, bombs,F-35s, additional weaponry, and most importantly international support. “No humanitarian aid has entered for weeks and nobody says a word because the Trump administration has our back.” And he is right. For weeks, no trucks have entered Gaza and there is still enough food for the residents.

A newly surfaced video captures Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) and other prominent Democrats in an unguarded moment, discussing their plans to protest President Donald Trump. The footage, which has sparked controversy, shows Dingell and her colleagues candidly strategizing about disrupting Trump’s appearances, revealing a level of animosity that many voters might find unsettling. A video from a meeting at the Washtenaw County Democratic Party caught liberal politicians speaking candidly about ways they can protest Trump and his policies. The “Democratic Responses to Trump’s Attacks & Lessons Learned from 2024 MI House Races” meeting was intended to rally Democrats and coordinate efforts to counteract the Trump administration’s policies.

I never figured I'd see there be building tensions between the United States and Europe, but here we are. To be fair, though, there should have been tensions a long time ago. After all, while many European nations like to consider themselves free societies, they're nothing of the sort. For example, gun rights are all but nonexistent for most people there. That's been the case for a long time. But now, we're seeing that our European "allies" aren't on the same page elsewhere. Famously, 60 Minutes did a segment where they followed German law enforcement as they kicked in doors over memes.

The dynamic is obvious to any intellectually honest observer, which is to say U.S. and Western media disqualify themselves and continue pushing preferred EU narratives. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected the latest U.S. proposal for a minerals deal that would create a partnership to repay the United States for ongoing financial support. According to Zelenskyy, the deal to share in oil, gas and mineral revenue would amount to debt that would disqualify them from EU membership due to unstable financials.

The DeKalb County home came equipped with a plethora of luxury accommodations, including a 100-bottle wine fridge, a Bluetooth-enabled stainless steel cooking range, custom crown molding, and a walk-in closet affixed to a "stunning" European bathroom

France has accused the Trump administration of interfering in the decisions of private French companies after the U.S. embassy said the American federal government would no longer work with businesses with so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. In addition to taking on DEI at home, the Trump White House is apparently intent on taking on the woke agenda abroad as well. According to a report in the French newspaper of record, Le Figaro, the U.S. embassy in Paris informed several companies in France that it would be ending business relationships with firms that engage in discrimination.

It’s not entirely clear if he was real or fictional. Most historians believe he was probably real, but it’s tricky to verify: The legend of Lucius Cincinnatus was (enthusiastically) retold in Titus “Livy” Livius’ book, the “History of Rome,” which was written a few decades before Christ. Unquestionably, Livius’ book included real, verifiable, historic events, but it also included the mythology of the Trojan War and tales of magical twins suckled by a she-wolf. But the legend of Lucius Cincinnatus still endures. He’s even the namesake of an American city in southwest Ohio. And his story continues to influence kings, queens, emperors, and (yes) even U.S. presidents.

The New York Times editorial board just discovered what conservatives have been saying for years: the Democratic Party is completely out of touch with everyday Americans. It’s a stunning rebuke from a paper that typically carries the water for Dems. The Times finally admitted the obvious: Democrats' obsession with identity politics and their "scolding, censorious posture" have driven voters straight into Republicans' arms. “In the aftermath of this comprehensive defeat, many party leaders have decided that they do not need to make significant changes to their policies or their message,” the editorial board writes. “They have instead settled on a convenient explanation for their plight.”
