“Freedom is the emancipation from the arbitrary rule of other men.”
~ Mortimer Adler
Media Report To “Us, the American People” President Joe Biden’s step to grant clemency to a Pennsylvania Commonwealth judge central to so-called ‘cash-for-kids’ abuse scandal has resulted in political risk. Political risk. Brought on by an American president who critics claim freed a perpetrator of one of history’s most corrupt miscarriages of justice. Kids incarcerated for years for minor offenses.
“Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of his humanity.”
~ Mother Teresa
“Cash-For-Kids’ Scandal Involved judges accepting kickbacks for sending minor-offending kids to private detention facilities, sometimes without court representation. Kids were, reportedly, sent off to jail for such incidental transgressions as taking back to teachers. “We, the American People,” as a result, are said to be taking it out on people part of Election 2024 losers. Political ramification concern.
“In concentrating on the ends of choice, the conservative, by neglecting the conditions of choice, loses that very morality of conduct with which he is so concerned.”
~ Murray Rothbard
Worst Part Of ‘Cash-For-Kids’ Injustice is hardly political risk for future political office seekers. Kids who were involved can never get back unnecessarily lost freedom and time stolen from their lives. It would be no surprise if some turned to vengeance. Anyone who blamed them would, arguably, be party to sowing seeds of judicial corruption. Far more than political risk is at stake. Shielding Liberty.
“Human life is not some sort of race or game in which each person should start from an identical mark. It is an attempt by each man to be as happy as possible.”
~ Murray Rothbard
There Is No Way “Our, the American People’s” legislative-judicial system practitioners could or can rationalize cases like ‘kids-for-cash’ falling through cracks in our legislative-judicial system. There being no adequate compensation for such public official behavior, we, if we expect justice not to be betrayed by such behavior cand, is we accept nothing less, apply ruthless scrutiny to court outcomes.
“The great non sequitur committed by defenders of the State, is to leap from the necessity of society to the necessity of the State.”
~ Murray Rothbard
People Intending To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to infringe upon Americans’ Bill-of-Rights protections; nor do they allow culpability for another person’s behavior to be ascribed to their freedom to exercise their rights. They uphold Constitutional safeguards without equivocation.
“It is easy to be conspicuously ‘compassionate’ if others are being forced to pay the cost.”
~ Murray Rothbard

President-To-Be Donald J. Trump’s Plan for “Our, the American People’s” Social Security will have unintended consequences. A media writer warns of future risks to Americans dependent on Social Security to supplement their income margin. Writer’s assessment is President-to-be Donald J. Trump’s plan would inadvertently hurt Social Security recipients once cuts take affect some years hence.
“In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.”
~ Mohandas Gandhi
Media Article Goes Into Some Depth describing, essentially, how Social Security is in financial trouble and is not sustainable without radical reform. Such reform would, writer’s analysis accurate, entail lowering benefits along with increasing tax-related funding. Net effect would put people who depend on Social Security to pay their bills, would have less flexibility making financial ends meet. Not good.
“Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the State becomes lawless or, which is the same thing, corrupt.”
~ Mohandas Gandhi
Today’s Average American Family has a net worth of around $1.96M. Given pertinent sources are accurate. An average American family has between 3 and 4 members. Arithmetically, a given person, then, would have somewhere around $250K to use in securing their financial future. So, it would seem, average Americans are reasonably well off, financially, and should be able to live acceptably well.
“It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.”
~ Moliere
Social Security’s Demise Has Been predicted a while. Program cost versus program income has not been characterized as good, even viable for more than a few years. Follow money trail, and we find it is consumers who, directly or indirectly foot bills for all government expenditures. Intuitively, it should not be insurmountable for “Us, the American People” to bite moderate financial security bullets.
“Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth.”
~ Mohandas Gandhi
People Emboldened To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to prohibit or restrict private ownership of firearms and ammunition from any citizen of good repute and responsible standing. They hold fast their ability to ward off would-be tyranny.

…Dangers of Invasion From Without, and Convulsions Within Spies and Lies Flying Across America
12-13-2024 The title here is a line out of our Declaration of Independence, as we continue to experience the ongoing tyranny of Spies and Lies Flying Across America. I doubt the King bothered to lie to our Founding Fathers, but he did bully them through legislation, with parliament, and by forcing his will upon them. I always encourage others to read the Declaration of Independence and compare the grievances then, to what Americans are dealing with today. There’s no doubt our government bullies us, restricts us and demands licenses, and permits for every little thing! The current administration has allowed, encouraged and participated in an invasion of our nation; from leaving our borders open, to flying illegals in, they’ve allowed nearly twenty million illegal aliens to squat in America. To add insult to the dangers, this administration has been housing, feeding and offering the illegal aliens benefits that American citizens cannot afford. The expense of it all falls on the shoulders of honest, hardworking, taxpaying Americans. We have complained, but the ears of this administration remain deaf to American citizens. There is an ongoing mystery of unidentified, unauthorized drones flying over many cities and military bases in our nation. Are these dangers from without, or has our own government devised some dark and sinister plan against the incoming administration? Perhaps that’s a longshot conspiratorial thought, but with all the lies we’ve been told thus far… what shall we conclude? This paragraph from the Declaration of Independence is astounding to me: He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. The king controlled the elections, always in his favor. It was after much protest, that our Founding Fathers decided, “Hey, we don’t need this king, we are our own nation!” …and thus, they were considered traitors to the king and history brings us to today. Dangers of invasions from without… such as twenty million illegal aliens; many of whom are from enemy nations and a Chinese spy balloon floating across this nation, unchallenged until it was finished and over the ocean, then it was destroyed. Either these drones are invading from without, or they are from within. It is doubtful that it is a prank from some genius American citizen; there are too many and in too many places. These sightings have been ongoing since the November 5th election. There have been too many sightings in so many places, they cannot be ignored or deemed insignificant. Is it our own government (the current administration) using some dark and sinister plan to control Americans by instilling fear into their hearts, or is it a military test of some sort? Is this administration and its deep state in such fear of the incoming administration that they are willing to pull some kind of a coup against American citizens? I pray it is not so, but I certainly wouldn’t put it past them, after all it was this administration who used the Department of Justice, corrupt Attorneys General, and corrupt judges to wage lawfare attacks on President Donald J. Trump, against many of those in his administration, and against many innocent American citizens. It’s not much different from the tyrannical king our Founding Fathers were dealing with: …He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. For a long time, our government has grown monstrously large; adding bureaucratic departments and allowing them to rule over We the People, while funding them via our tax dollars. Regulations, mandates, inspections, fines, licenses and permits are thrust upon We the People. Unelected bureaucrats simulating laws is unconstitutional; they have no such authority to make laws, only Congress (the elected) has the authority to write laws.
I’m cautiously excited by the promise of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) going after government waste and dissolving many of the bureaucratic departments. Many years ago, I was reading the Declaration of Independence, studying it to perform a dramatic reading, when the following grievance opened my eyes: He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. The inefficiencies of our fat bureaucracy most definitely harass our people and eat out our substance! Seems like we have returned to the tyranny our Founding Fathers worked so hard to escape. Convulsions From Within A multitude of media who are either Constitutionally unlearned or intentional gas lighters, have displayed convulsions regarding President Trump, and his supporters, as they exaggerate and exasperate his words and his policies. Their lies and hysteria have caused great chaos, leaving many in our nation dismayed, and even fearful of their futures. A nation whose people are trembling and shaking with fear is a weak nation. The king knew that, and so do those in power today. A man shared with me this week that when he came home from work there was a business card inside his front door from an IRS agent. He told me, “I won’t lie, it made me anxious and caused some fear in my being.” It ended up ok, but I shared this with him: “When we find ourselves fearing our own government, then we must recognize we are living in tyranny.” “When governments fear the people, there is Liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.” Thomas Jefferson The November 5th election was a great victory for We the People; people who honor and respect Life and Liberty; We the People who know and understand what it is to enjoy the pursuit of Happiness. Winning! It is important that We the People stay connected. As I have said in the past, we cannot vote and then walk away; a Republic only works if the Republic is working it. We have endured much in our nation, and it is time that we stand up for Truth in America, accountability in America, and for our Constitution in America. “The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their government.” Attributed to George Washington. November 5th was proof that We the People have lost our patience with our government officials, and it is time that we take our power back and exercise the Consent of the Governed, as written in our Declaration of Independence. Spies and Lies Flying willy nilly across our nation need to be stopped! “When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.” Thomas Jefferson The one encouragement I find in the preemptive pardons is that these government officials who have lied and cheated and done all acts of corruption – tyranny – is that they are now fearing the people. Perhaps you believe it is Trump they fear, but it is We the People that they fear, as they heard our voices loud and clear on November 5th. They know the jig is up, but they will continue to fight, so We the People must stay vigilant! We are done with the lies and corruption! We are done with the debt and economic abuses! We are done with their WOKE agendas! We are done being serfs to politicians.

“There’s nothing that does so much harm as good intentions.”
~ Milton Friedman
It’s Nigh Impossible For “Us, the American People” to know, at first blush, if news is information, misinformation, disinformation, distraction, or fake news. Doesn’t take much detached query to conclude a goodly amount of news is well beyond facts and figures. A media article, for example, lays out a case claiming President Joe Biden’s Administration & Co. intend harming America leaving office.
“Adam Smith’s key insight was that both parties to an exchange can benefit and that, so long as cooperation is strictly voluntary, no exchange can take place unless both parties do benefit.”
~ Milton Friedman
Pretty Serious Allegation, Claiming a sitting American president and others around said president are out to damage America. “We, the American People,” if article reporting so is factually based, would have cause to indict those so accused by article, and prosecute them without quarter. Prosecution would be unwarranted if article writer(s) are basing claim on supposition and opinion. Words are not acts.
“Adam Smith’s key insight was that both parties to an exchange can benefit and that, so long as cooperation is strictly voluntary, no exchange can take place unless both parties do benefit.”
~ Milton Friedman
Article In Question Takes Aim at President Joe Biden’s duplicitous handling of son Hunter’s pardon as an example of damaging America. Article, further, claims Biden force is trying to ram through a laundry list of progressive initiatives, not least attempts to sabotage President-to-be Donald J. Trump’s pending Depart Of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Congressional acts can undo Congressional acts.
“When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about how much he spends and how he spends it. And when a man spends someone else’s money on someone else, he doesn’t care how much he spends or what he spends it on. And that’s government for you.”
~ Milton Friedman
Much Of “Our, the American People’s” frustration and dissatisfaction with politicians-legislators is our own doing. There is not a single act legislators can carry out if we decide legislators are wrong-headed. It is within our capacity as a sovereign citizenry to stop legislators in their tracks. If we are so willing. Elections are not license for legislators to do as they please. We can stop them. If we will.
“Every friend of freedom must be as revolted as I am by the prospect of turning the United States into an armed camp, by the vision of jails filled with casual drug users and of an army of enforcers empowered to invade the liberty of citizens on slight evidence.”
~ Milton Friedman
People Determined To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to overrule Commonwealth/State (10th Amendment) Sovereignty. They uphold their heritage of self-government and reject illegitimate federal intrusion.
“The use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interest.”
