“I don’t want my children fed or clothed by the state, but I would prefer that to their being educated by the state.”
~ Max Victor Belz
Media Reports Not Misinformation, disinformation, or fake news, President-t-be Donald J. Trump’s first ninety days as President Donald J. could be bogged down in gridlock. Gridlock perpetrated by typical jockeying by legislators either after their own agenda, or, legislators obstinate in their fanatical support or opposition to President-to-be Trump’s Election 2024 ‘mandate’ for change. No surprise.
“Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws.”
~ Mayer Amschel Rothschild
“We, the American People” who figure things are going to be rosy with President-to-be Donald J. at America’s helm could be in for a rude awakening. Legislators, all said and done, need only satisfy their voting constituents. Congressional legislators have no cut-and-dry obligation to close ranks with legislators, for or against their party of membership. Their careers and their focus rest with voters.
“Ask yourself now because sooner or later you are going to come to that line, and when they cross it, you’re going to say well now cross this line; ok now cross that line; ok now cross this line. Pretty soon you’re in a corner. Sooner or later you’ve got to stand your ground whether anybody else does or not.”
~ Michael Badnarik
Those Of “Us, the American People” with high hopes President-to-be Doanld J. Trump will continue his impression-blustering pre-inauguration impetus stand to be hit by a quasi-buyer’s remorse, should Congressional legislators get their backs up and fall short of vote-getting to move legislation along for Donald J.’s signature. In extreme, Congress could end up deadlocked, voters end up disillusioned.
“Each and every time someone says ‘there ought to be a law’ they are saying that men with guns should enforce their will on innocent others.”
~ Michael Barnett
America’s Presidents Have No Power to fire Congressional legislators. Voters, alone, have such power. Presidents can get Congressional backing if Congressional legislators are sure bills they send for Donald J.’s signature will keep them in good standing with their voting constituents. Otherwise, night be some rough legislative seas ahead for Doanld J. early on in his second term, and through it.
“Government does not grow by seizing our freedoms, but by assuming our responsibilities.”
~ Michael Cloud
People Intending To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to interfere with how responsible citizens use their private property. They fiercely protect their most vital right – individual property ownership. Protecting property is protecting life.
“The angels and the devils are definitely within us, not within the machines we use.”

“There comes a time when a moral man can’t obey a law which his conscience tells him is unjust.”
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Our, the American People’s” media outlets all but fall over themselves with news on President Joe Biden issuing a record number of clemency orders. America’s presidents have power to pardon people gone afoul of America’s justice system. Not at all unreasonable to question why, if presidential pardons were justified in record numbers – in any number – how it was pardoned individuals went to jail at all.
“Such poor miserable creatures have misplaced values and are hiding their cowardice behind pretended family responsibility — blindly refusing to see that the most glorious legacy that one can bequeath to posterity is liberty; and that the only true security is liberty.”
~ Marvin Cooley
Pretty Easy For “Us, the American People” to look at presidential pardons as rebukes of courts having sentenced they who were deemed worthy of pardons. Jury trials reach verdicts by deliberation among jury members. Judges have power to overrule juries when they conclude evidence did not merit a jury verdict. As prescribed by established rules. Juries, though, are not obliged to follow judicial edicts.
“Bureaucracy, the rule of no one, has become the modern form of despotism.”
~ Mary McCarthy
Justice Is, Supposedly, Blind. Courts are to hear cases and render opinions without favoritism or bias. Given courts are unbiased, by definition, then a president issuing a clemency order would, arguably, be unnecessary. Presidential pardons, implicitly, indicate court action was unwarranted – in terms of, say, time served, or, punishment issued at all. Nothing to stop presidential pardon used intemperately.
“Americans have the mistaken viewpoint that Lady Liberty is only a peacetime luxury who is ill-equipped to fight the nasties. Therefore, they reason, we need an equally nasty Big Brother. Americans have forgotten that Lady Liberty is one ferocious mother when protecting her children.”
~ Mary Ruwart
There Are Presidential Pardon Limits. At least in theory. Presidential pardons are for ‘crimes against America,’ thus, federal crimes. Like most controversies, Constitutionally speaking, presidential pardon legitimacy may well come down to interpretation. Why “We, the American People” sand still for interpretation in inexplicable. Could be for no reason other than we are unwilling to fight City Hall.
“There is a word sweeter than mother, home or heaven. That word is liberty.”
~ Matilda Joslyn Gage
People Drawn To Live 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 or subsidize private enterprise with public money. They keep government from meddling in employer-employee affairs.

Justice Is Not Served by Preemptive Pardons Are all pardons equal? Are all crimes deserving of a pardon?
12-9-2024 Preemptive Pardons do not serve justice, they hide crimes! The American People deserve the answers to a few questions, and we deserve to know the crimes for which people might be pardoned! While the democrats scream to save “democracy” they deny the Bill of Rights and fight to destroy our Constitutional Republic. What is the motive for preemptive pardons? What is the intent of our Bill of Rights? I want to look at two Amendments briefly: Amendment IV and Amendment VIII. How do these two Amendments relate to the crazy lawfare we have experienced during both the Obama and Biden administrations? Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. When the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, they did not have a list of particular items to be seized, other than “classified documents.” Classified in what manner? What was the classified topic? They knew President Trump had documents, because it was legal for him to have them and there were no pretenses made to hide the boxes of documents. All presidents take documents that belong to them when they leave the White House. Mar-a-Lago is a heavily secured home and club; Trump didn’t have documents in file boxes hidden in a dirty, messy insecure garage behind a prized Corvette. With the way the FBI behaved during their raid on Mar-a-Lago, one might get the impression they were looking for any documents that might incriminate other government officials. The FBI used the same unconstitutional tactics against others. The FBI went after Roger Stone, Rudy Giuliani, Paul Manafort and several others. The FBI showed up Gestapo style and commenced to removing files, file cabinets, computers and other items, so that they could search them to find “something,” or hide “something.” When they showed up at Roger Stone’s in the wee hours of the morning, they managed to have an audience of CNN cameras. NOTE: The FBI allowed no security cameras to witness their criminal invasion of Mar-a-Lago. It does seem that the FBI pays no attention to the Fourth Amendment. If a person’s home was searched and items were seized that were not listed in a lawful search warrant, should that be grounds for dismissal of all charges they are trying to stack against you? When you lawfully search a person’s home you must be detailed and specific in the things to be seized, why is it not the same when issuing a “preemptive pardon?” Our Bill of Rights binds the government from taking advantage and practicing unconstitutional acts of tyranny and lawfare against We the People. Since it is written in the law, (the Bill of Rights is law) that before you can seize someone’s belongings or accumulate evidence (in his home) to charge any person with a crime, you must be specific regarding, “said crime.” Forgive me for thinking logically here, but shouldn’t the same be true when you pardon someone? The pardon should be specific (even if preemptive) listing the exact crimes for which the pardon is being issued and the reasons you are granting a pardon. Are all pardons equal? Are all crimes deserving of a pardon? If Joe Biden starts issuing preemptive pardons like throwing candy from a float in a Christmas parade, I believe he will be guilty of criminal behavior and all these preemptive pardons should be questioned, Constitutionally. If these “forgiven” criminals have committed acts and crimes that jeopardized national security, caused the deaths of Americans, used taxpayers’ money for profit, and caused the incarceration of Americans without due process, the pardons should be deemed unlawful and unconstitutional. To accept such a pardon should be seen as an admission of guilt. Mark Levin went so far as to state that Congress should immediately impeach Joe Biden if he begins to issue blanket sweeping preemptive pardons.
Amendment VIII Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. A jury verdict in May 2023 found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll and ordered him to pay $5 million in damages. Trump appealed and made an unsuccessful counterclaim. Carroll’s accusation of rape was not provable, and Trump denied ever knowing her; for that, he was forced to pay $5 million. This and other “trumped-up” charges against the former president were attempts to break him financially, politically and emotionally; a complete and total violation of the Eighth Amendment. Rudy Giuliani is also a victim of lawfare. While President Trump was fined $5 million, America’s Mayor is being forced to pay $148 million. Former election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss (mother and daughter) have said Giuliani continued to defame them on social media, even after losing their defamation suit. Giuliani accused them of election fraud in the wake of the 2020 election, saying they had stolen the election with USB drives they passed around “like vials of heroin or cocaine.” Moss later testified before Congress that her mother passed a mint to her while counting ballots. According to the plaintiffs, Mr. Giuliani’s false statements about the women led to a torrent of threats and harassment, upending the women’s lives and sending them into hiding. Rudy Guiliani accused Georgia poll workers of election cheating in the 2020 election to favor Joe Biden. Since no official DOJ investigation of any of the complaints from the 2020 election was ever done, (thank you unprincipled AG Bob Barr) the statements made by America’s Mayor could not be proven unequivocally to be false, however all negative statements referring to the 2020 election have been deemed false without a true look at evidence gathered. Neither is it proven that the two poll workers have been reclusive to the degree they claim. While claiming his statements were false, I don’t believe it was ever verified beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was wrong. Since then, Rudy Giuliani has been forced to handover all of his precious belongings from watches, and gifts to cars and his apartment home. Even if what these two women say is true, (which I strongly doubt) there is no doubt that awarding these two women $148 million is in violation of Rudy Giuliani’s Eighth Amendment: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. From unconstitutional impeachments to unconstitutional pardons, when will the lawfare and the corruption by Obama, Joe Biden, and the Biden Cartel along with the Democrat Party against America end? Will Joe grant a pardon to Obama? They do not seek to secure and save democracy, they only seek to hide their corruption and save the “deep state” government, which has enriched and embolden most of the D.C. Occupiers, including RHINOs such as Liz Cheney. Preemptive Pardons do not serve justice, they hide crimes!

“Censorship is telling a man he can’t have a steak just because a baby can’t chew it.”
~ Mark Twain
Presidential Veto Power Can Be Used to thwart “Our, the American People’s” public (sovereign citizenry) will. Media report President Joe Biden will veto a bi-partisan bill aimed at filling federal judgeships. White House-stated reason, Media report, is bill is unnecessary and its timing calls into question true motivation behind bill. Bi-partisan bill’s true motivation questioned by partisan mindset.
“We, the American People” put Congressional legislators in office by our vote, ergo, by our authority. For a single individual (an American President) to block bi-partisan legislative initiatives, arguably, calls into question said individual’s commitment to carry out public will. Filling federal judgeships is hardly a matter of so dire consequences a president must question – and stall – bi-partisan efforts.
“There is no distinctly native American criminal class save Congress.”
~ Mark Twain
America’s Federal (U.S./National) Constitution grants veto power to America’s presidents. To be used judicially, presumably. Not politically, presumably. Since America’s presidents are to be president of all Americans, not only Americans who voted for them. Presumably. It would be smart for “Us, the American People” to take a jaundiced view anytime American presidents veto bi-partisan initiatives.
“If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country- hold up your head! You have nothing to be ashamed of.”
~ Mark Twain
“Our, the American People’s” commonwealth, federal (U.S./National), and state Constitutions task America’s legislators to establish laws upholding America’s Constitutional precepts and protections. Whether laws uphold America’s Constitutional precepts and protections is a matter of opinion. Because legislators interpret Constitutionality by their personal attitudes, values, and beliefs (PAVB).
“Man was born into barbarism when killing his fellow man was a normal condition of existence. He became endowed with a conscience. And he has now reached the day when violence toward another human being must become as abhorrent as eating another’s flesh.”
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
There Being No Universal, incontrovertible legislative standards holding legislators in account for legislative objectivity, we, as a sovereign citizenry, become our last line of defense against legislative tyranny. Including unwarranted presidential vetoes. Precedents set by case law may be considered standards, although, neither legislator nor judge must defer to case law. Both may defer to their PAVB.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
People Determined To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to remain in office if they break their word to their constituents. They dismiss and replace them summarily.
