No matter where we are while engaged in normal everyday activities, the Bill of Rights must be at the beginning and at the end of all of our sentences as we speak while in public. The Trenches World Report was started on the basis of the Bill of Rights, and its complete reinstatement.
I’m as guilty as the next person in forgetting this and when you think about it it’s of the utmost importance that those words remain strong in our vocabulary during all of our normal activities including speaking with others, the Bill of Rights must remain front-and-center.

He stressed, however, that it is up to Congress to decide whether to try to impeach Trump following Wednesday’s violence at the Capitol.
Joe Biden has described the pro-Trump protesters who stormed Congress on Wednesday as “thugs” and “anti-Semites” and said they need to be prosecuted by the Justice Department. Continue reading “Biden Calls Capitol Raiders ‘White Supremacists, Anti-Semites’, Demands Prosecution”

Social media is aflame after it emerged that John Earle Sullivan, a Utah-based Black Lives Matter organizer, was one of the people who entered the Capitol building with Trump-supporters on Wednesday.
Some are theorizing that Sullivan, who was arrested on felony rioting and multiple other charges last Summer after a shooting in Provo, is part of a Black Lives Matter conspiracy to make Trump-supporters look bad. Sullivan, the leader of Insurgence USA, was filmed in July as the ringleader directing a group of armed men who trapped a car and opened fire on the motorist.

The air was cool and fresh on that Monday morning in September 1787 as the delegates to the Constitutional Convention gathered at the State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia to sign the new Constitution. Only three present refused to add their names. One of them was the Virginian George Mason. Because the Constitution created a federal government he felt might be too powerful, and because it did not end the slave trade and did not contain a bill of rights, he withheld his support from the document he had played so large a role in crafting.

China’s Communist Party (CCP) seems to be implementing a multidimensional strategy in the Caribbean, reaping economic, political and potentially military gains a few miles offshore the United States. China’s ultimate objective of its Caribbean strategy may well be to confront the U.S., not only with its presence near the mainland U.S., but also with a situation analogous to America’s military presence in the region of the South China Sea. There, China created new islands in the sea, pledged not to militarize them, then went and militarized them.
