“We, the American People” are absolute loons if we think for a second politically-appointed judgeships are not made to have lawful advantage over opposition and people at large. Media report President Joe Biden has appointed one more federal judge than his predecessor and successor, President-to-be Donald J. Trump. Congressional democrats could not contain their exhilaration.

President Joe Biden, As Of Friday, December 20th, 2025 appointed one more federal judge than former President Doanld J. Trump. 233 in all, including a Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) Justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson. President Joe had been categorical on SCOTUS Justice Jackson’s appointment – he said he’d nominate a black woman. Presidential nominees need not be most qualified.

“Our, the American People’s” legislators, to a legislator, we can be assured, by their action if not their admission, will work to make laws consistent with legislators’ personal attitudes, values, and beliefs (PAVB) and call their action aimed at upholding Constitutional precepts and protections. Given America’s commonwealth, federal (U.S./National), and state Constitutions empower so, bias prevails.

“The federal government cannot maintain a budget surplus any more than an alcoholic can leave a fresh bottle of whiskey untouched in the cupboard.”

Legislative PAVB Bias Can Be turned away when laws are subject to adjudication. There is no assurance, however, judges, or jury trials will do anything other than replace PAVB-driven laws with PAVB-driven court decisions. There are no incontrovertible legislative or judicial standards. Outcomes depend on who happens to be legislating or adjudicating. No government has differed, or will differ.

“I am convinced that there are more threats to American liberty within the 10 mile radius of my office on Capitol Hill than there are on the rest of the globe.”

“Illegal aliens have always been a problem in the United States. Ask any Indian.”

~ Robert Orben

One Of “Our, the American People’s” media writers takes close to 3,400 words to explain why democrats continue licking their wounds from their Election 2024 ‘trouncing.’ Writer takes pains to show how it is democrats didn’t do so badly, after all, and there is no need for them to reinvent themselves. Reason is Donald J. Trump/MAGA policies will self-destruct under their dastardly weight.

“It is becoming increasingly apparent that many—arguably most—of the problems that plague our nation have been aggravated rather than alleviated by federal intervention.”

~ Robert W. Lee

Writer’s Analysis Includes Examples of how holding strong to a particular ideology voters, essentially, are thought to reject can be emotionally hard to bear, thus, no wonder there would be wide-spread grief at Election 2024 losses for such belief-holders. “We, the American People” who might be reveling in exact opposite emotions over Election 2024 ‘red wave’ might do well with moderation. Waste in haste.

“The real freedom of any individual can always be measured by the amount of responsibility which he must assume for his own welfare and security.”

~ Robert Welch

How President-To-Be Donald J. Trump and MAGA band legislative efforts will come to fruition may well end up a letdown for MAGA loyalists and enthusiasts. Congressional legislators, while registered with a particular political party, when push comes to shove, will, we can bet, vote to make their personal attitudes, values, and beliefs (PAVB) lawfully compulsory. All legislators want final say on every bill.

“19 terrorists in 6 weeks have been able to command 300 million North Americans to do away with the entirety of their civil liberties that took 700 years to advance from the Magna Carta onward. ”

~ Rocco Galati

Whether MAGA Legislator Or Ultra-Progressive legislator, legislators work tirelessly and feverishly to impose their PAVB by force of law. It is incumbent on “Us, the American People,” acting as a sovereign citizenry, to make sure legislators do not pass and enact PAVB-driven selective, arbitrary, and discriminatory legislation, taxation, and regulation (SADLT&R). SADLT&R erodes Liberty.

 

“There are in fact four very significant stumblingblocks in the way of grasping the truth, which hinder every man however learned, and scarcely allow anyone to win a clear title to wisdom, namely, the example of weak and unworthy authority, longstanding custom, the feeling of the ignorant crowd, and the hiding of our own ignorance while making a display of our apparent knowledge.”

~ Roger Bacon

People Committed To Living In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to enact legislation or regulations requiring any private business to accept collective bargaining organizations. They stand by free markets and limited government.

THE CHRISTMAS GIFT THAT KEEPS ON SPENDING!

It ain’t easy to kill that fatted goose.

It was not a Christmas miracle, but the beginning of Congressional Christmas con jobs and deceptions.

It was only two days before Christmas, on December 23, 1913, when the 63rd Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act and President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. This date in time stands as a classic example of compromise; a decentralized central bank that balanced the competing interests of private banks and populist sentiment. No longer would the United States be responsible for its own system of economics. The Federal Reserve is a group of World Bankers making financial decisions for the United States. Congress shirked their Constitutional responsibility regarding this nation’s economy and finances; they literally sold us out! Merry Christmas America, from your 63rd Congress.

Earlier that same year, on February 3, 1913, just one month before the inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson, the Sixteenth Amendment was formally accepted into the Constitution. With the income tax provision outlined in the new amendment, the Revenue Act of 1913 was soon after enacted into law by the 63rd Congress. Henceforth, the paychecks of every American would have some disappearing dollars that went straight to DC. It was a genius legislative theft!

And the great spending begins! No longer is Congress concerned about balanced budgets, they’ll just increase the debt ceiling and raise the percent of taxes, which they thieve from the paychecks of Americans. They will borrow more and spend more and then they’ll do it over and over again.

Every year, just before Christmas, Congress meets to approve another bill to “keep the government alive,” (not well) “until they meet again.” Continuing Resolutions filled with pork and crazy government spending seem to be the Christmas gift from Congress to the American people; “a Christmas gift that keeps on spending.”

The spending in DC is about the only thing that appears nonpartisan. As I write this article, the 118th Congress is debating over yet another outrageous omnibus bill. A bill (in its origin) that was 1,547 pages long, to the tune of nearly $3 Trillion. It’s only a “continuing resolution,” which means they’ll return in March 2025, at the last 72-hour deadline, to hash it all out again.

The 118th Congress has until midnight tonight, December 20, to get this bill approved or the US government will be shut down! If only that meant that the spending would end, but alas, it is only a scare tactic to bully the representatives and senators into signing off on a bill they know is bad for America!

Do you wonder who writes these bills? These bills are presented to Congress no less than 72 hours before they must be voted on. Our Representatives always seem shocked and surprised to read (if they read the bill) and discover what exactly is written in the bill. The majority of Congressional members don’t bother to read the bill, they just sign it and then head home for Christmas, while We the People are literally left holding the “bill.”

Congress seems to be the fat goose of Christmas, not to be confused by the goose that laid the golden egg, this fat goose can’t stop feasting off the dollars and dimes of the American people. They continue to spend and run this nation into an unsustainable debt, which is a national security issue.

Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat, won’t you please put a penny in the old man’s hat. If you haven’t got a penny, a ha-penny will do, if you haven’t got a ha-penny, God bless you.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve run out of ha-pennies.

The political goose continues to take from the “old man” and refuses to be “decapitated” and return to its rightful duty of serving We the People. DOGE is needed to put the “fat gooses” on a diet and trim down their ridiculous-continuous spending.

It would seem that it ain’t easy to kill that fatted goose

“All nonstate threats to life, liberty, and property appear to be relatively petty and therefore can be dealt with. Only states can pose truly massive threats, and sooner or later the horrors with which they menace mankind invariably come to pass.”

~ Robert Higgs

Our, the American People’s” Congressional legislators, once again, heroically passed a spending bill to keep America’s federal government cooking a while. Media report our Congressional Democrat Senators were visibly and vocally unhappy because they contend one Elon Musk, “not-elected-to-anything.” Interfered with Congressional workings on stop-gap spending bill. Elections have results.

“But politicians who talk about failed policies are just blowing smoke. Government policies succeed in doing exactly what they are supposed to do: channeling resources bilked from the general public to politically organized and influential interests groups.”

~ Robert Higgs

“We, the American People” would be irredeemably credulous to think – worse, to expect – people other than America’s legislators don’t have their fingers and psyches smack dab in middle of framing legislation. Lobbyists are a classic example. Any number of special interest hacks, ordinary people on America’s streets (if they can) work to influence legislators making laws to control societal behavior.

“Liberty a word without which all other words are vain.”

~ Robert Ingersoll

All Said And Done, Never should it occur to “Us, the American People” it is any other than America’s legislators who craft, and our government chief executive officers, including America’s president du jour, who sign laws, are responsible for foisting laws on Americans. Laws meant, one way or other, to enable government to confiscate property (wealth), and restrict choice (Liberty). Prime purpose.

“I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous – if they aver that doubt is a crime, then I attack them one and all, because they enslave the minds of men.”

~ Robert G. Ingersoll

Former President Barack Obama, famously and infamously, while entertaining legislators’ views on his policies, reminded them, “I won the election.” President Obama may have unwittingly left proverbial cat out of proverbial bag, saying so. Legislative office winners take it for granted they have carte blanche authority to rule as they like. When it is us, a sovereign citizenry, elections are to sponsor.

“What light is to the eyes – what air is to the lungs – what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.”

~ Robert G. Ingersoll

People Determined To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to define or limit their 10th Amendment powers beyond Constitutional constraint.  They exercise self-government to preserve their liberty.
