Citizens! The Declaration of Independence:
Now Read It, and Learn

Original Article

The Declaration of Independence makes clear points regarding tyranny, points now particularly applicable to the Biden administration given the current state of the federal government. The very first American document reads: All men… are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness; that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government[.]

The difference between the world of the 18th century when the Declaration of Independence was penned by Jefferson and that of today is destruction of the basis of "inalienable rights" based on natural law ("endowed by their creator"). Even Issac Newton accepted that "life" was beyond the mechanical laws of the universe that he discovered and was, like the Founders, a deist. John Locke, whose political philosophy was the basis of much of the Founder's thinking, was quite clear that no atheist could be a citizen because they denied the preeminince of natural law. Although accepting of a pluralist notion of religion, the Constitution was structured to protect the natural rights of men from the excesses of their governments. I fear that any attempt to reimagine the Constitution based on contemporary notions of distributive justice, post-modernist moral relativism, and utopian idealism regarding the "true" nature of man will end in the nihilistic chaos that Niesche predicted in "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". Without a foundation in natural law rights endowed by a creator and protected from government violation, a new Constitution would simply codify a "Brave New World".

"Citizens"?!? That's white supremacist today. And it became politically incorrect 40 years ago to use "man" to refer to all people. As important as this article's points are, its language repels the very people it needs to reach. TWISS (the world is so screwed).

I read it and understood it in Canada. That's why I started my progress to LEGAL US citizenship. I aced the civics test. I regret to say many of my born in the USA friends couldn't. It's NOT multiple choice but really ... name one of the two oceans bordering on the USA ?? OK hard one ... name one of your state senators. Have read the declaration, the constitution, and the federalist papers recently. Every US citizen should.

An NYPD officer on his first day on the job was stabbed in the head with a machete by a 19-year-old who investigators believe may be an Islamic extremist during New Year's Eve celebrations near Times Square. The attack happened just after 10 p.m. about eight blocks from Times Square, just outside of the high-security zone where thousands of revelers were screened for weapons as they prepared to ring in 2023. Trevor Bickford, 19, of Wells, Maine, allegedly approached the officers on 8th Avenue between 51st and 52nd streets armed with a large knife that he used to slash two of them, Commissioner Keechant Sewell said at an overnight press conference.

During the Jan. 6th riot, Ray Epps, the infamous yet uncharged rioter who was filmed urging Trump supporters at the peaceful “Stop the Steal” rally to storm the U.S. Capitol, told his nephew that he’d “orchestrated” something. But what exactly did he “orchestrate”? It’s not entirely clear. This discovery comes from the Jan. 6th committee, believe it or not, which this week released a transcript of his Jan. 21st, 2022 deposition. During the deposition, what he’d told his nephew came up as a topic of discussion. Specifically, one of the congressional investigators noted that on the morning of Jan. 6th, Epps’ nephew had texted him, “You and Jim be safe.”

First up, according to the California Republican, after electing the Speaker of the House was to repeal the 87,000 IRS agents provision passed by Congress earlier this year. “Great question – the first thing we have to do is elect our Speaker. We can’t do anything until we elect that Speaker,” he said. “And if you watch, the White House is actually pushing back on our investigations, saying we’re not going to give you anything till you get this solved.

Drugmakers are set to raise the prices of 350 drugs at the beginning of 2023. Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline PLC, Bristol Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca PLC, and Sanofi SA are among several drugmakers set to raise prices, according to healthcare research firm 3 Axis Advisors, Reuters reported. The price hikes are in response to a number of factors, mainly inflation, supply problems, and the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act, which will allow Medicare, the national government's health insurance program for seniors and people with certain disabilities, to negotiate several drug prices directly starting in 2026.

The 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in the case Dodge v. Evergreen School District decided a Washington middle school teacher was exercising his free speech rights while wearing his red MAGA hat at school training sessions. Middle school teacher Eric Dodge started to wear his MAGA hat to school meetings in 2019 but principal Caroline Garrett threatened disciplinary actions against Dodge if he continued to wear the hat. Dodge claimed principal Garrett called him a racist and a homophobe for wearing the hat and stated, “you need to have your union rep”

Last year’s column successfully predicted Democratic Senate gains and a smaller-than-­expected Republican House takeover. Here is our not-totally-­serious forecast for 2023: JANUARY: Rep. Kevin McCarthy falls six votes short of 218 in House speaker election as 10 Freedom Caucus members vote for challenger Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs. As deadlock persists, Newt Gingrich offers to return as speaker. President Joe Biden stuns Democrats by announcing he won’t seek second term. House Republicans ditch McCarthy and embrace Gingrich, who is elected on the fourth ballot. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene named Intelligence Committee chair.

In an Arkansas courtroom on Tuesday, the attorneys for Hunter Biden’s stripper baby mama, Lunden Alexis Roberts, filed a motion to have their daughter’s (Navy Joan Roberts) last name changed to reflect that of the presidential family tree she hails from.

Departing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi raised the maximum rate that lawmakers can pay House staff for a second time this year, totaling $212,000.  Earlier this year, Pelosi issued a directive that raised the pay rate from $199,300 to $203,700. She also issued the minimum salary pay for House staff of $45,000.  Pelosi defended her action, saying that it would help Congress retain quality staff who might potentially look for outside opportunities from private employers.  “As you know, our hard-working, patriotic congressional staffers are integral to the functioning of the House of Representatives," Pelosi wrote in a letter to House lawmakers,

They have wanted these sensitive documents for years. Donald Trump’s tax returns have been viewed as the Holy Grail of scandal for the Left. It’s the smoking gun they’ve lusted for, and now they came into possession of these documents after a lengthy legal battle between Trump’s lawyers and House Democrats. The Supreme Court failed to intervene after multiple lower courts had ruled against the former president regarding keeping these files under seal. Spencer wrote about it first—and it was a nothing burger. It might have been an even bigger dud than the Russian collusion hoax. Trump’s tax returns from 2015-2020 showed what we all knew about the former president:

Amidst a wasteland of absolute trash coming out of Hollywood over the last several years, Taylor Sheridan’s “Yellowstone” has become a saving grace for television watchers everywhere. It’s gritty, it’s visually stunning, it’s fun, and most of all, it’s not woke. There aren’t any explicitly leftwing narratives being shoved down the audience’s throat when you watch “Yellowstone” or its equally well-done prequels, “1883” and “1923.” In fact, there’s a rather conservative bent at times throughout the franchise, though Sheridan is loathe to allow his work to be defined along political lines. For example, the latest season of “Yellowstone” has the Duttons converting a rabid environmentalist from her misguided secular religion.

Meanwhile, people who never told anyone to storm the Capitol have languished in prison without trial for nearly two years now, in shocking conditions.
