Georgia Patriot Files

How many times did Trump to tell you?  How many times did I tell you?  Over and over Trump told you there was no collusion with Russia.  Over and over I told you, there was no collusion with Russia, at least not with Trump.  That Trump needed nothing from Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton was obvious to anyone who did not hold an overwhelming desire for the opposite to be true.  Democrats and Trump-haters simply lost their minds.  They wanted this so badly that they were willing to believe the most implausible hoax in American history.  How could anyone be so vulnerable? And so, for all of you who may have been wishing upon hope that Trump colluded with Putin, notice who you have been listening to, the Democrats and their dishonest media partners.  Assess their credibility now that their, and frankly your former champion, Robert Mueller, declared that after spending millions in tax dollars, after hiring 19 attorneys and 40 FBI agents, after 2800 su...

I got into a conversation with a proponent of the “Convention of States” this week.  If you are not aware, the writers of the Constitution left us two routes to amend our law of the land.  Either Congress can initiate the process, or the people can work through their state legislatures to do it.  The latter process is the one the Convention of states proponents have decided is the answer to fixing what is wrong with the US Government.  A few years back, the Georgia legislature enacted a law in favor of the Convention of States, and more have approved the idea since.  It takes 2/3 of the states to hold a CoS and 3/4 of the states to ratify any amendment that might result from its workings. Convention of States-A Really Bad Idea The CoS proponents are all good people.  They see we have problems with the government not following the letter of the Constitution.  On that we all agree.  And when asked how we might expect the courts to follow any ...

I like Rand Paul, but in deciding to block Trump’s national emergency declaration we see why Rand can never be President. Senator Paul does not understand that a President can violate the Constitution either of two ways, by exceeding presidential authority, or by not fulfilling that same authority when doing so is necessary to preserve, protect and defend the very purposes of the document. It is a mistake to believe that a President who does nothing to protect the rights of the American people, when a President should act, can claim he or she is acting constitutionally.  Errors of omission are still errors.  The Constitution requires a President to act when the Constitution’s very existence is in peril.  And that’s where we are. And the mistake of Senator Paul I describe is the same mistake of all the Lincoln haters out there.  I say that because, in the Spring of 1861 had Lincoln not acted when he did, as Trump acts now, there would have been no Constitution le...

Once upon a time there was a country whose political engine ran on a fuel of virtue, and whose moving members, the politicians, were lubricated by a universal and heart-felt obligation to avoid even the faintest appearance of impropriety.  That was America long ago.  Judging people in their times, arguably, George Washington was such a political adherent, his thoughts and actions the result of an intrinsic personal desire to avoid public indecency or shame, or even the appearance of improper motives, as were many of his contemporaries.  There have been others along the way, who have chosen virtue over personal gain and power, some we might agree on and some we might not.  Either way, in modern times, notably commencing in the early 20th century, the American political engine was covertly altered, modified to run on a different fuel resulting in policies other than those inherent personal virtue might select.  It was in those days that a financial class cemented ...
