President Donald Trump signed three new executive orders Thursday that he said are “designed to restore safety in America.”
Trump signed the executive orders in the Oval Office after swearing in Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
One of the orders, aimed at “reduc(ing) crime and restor(ing) public safety,” directs Sessions to establish a new Task Force on Crime Reduction and Public Safety.
The Task Force will develop “strategies to reduce crime, including, in particular, illegal immigration, drug trafficking and violent crime,” propose new legislation, and submit at least one report to the President within the next year.
A second executive order, aimed at combating transnational drug cartels, prescribes steps for various federal agencies to “increase intelligence” sharing among law enforcement partners. The order also instructs an existing inter-agency working group to submit a report to Trump within four months detailing the progress made in combating criminal organizations, “along with any recommended actions for dismantling them.”
“I’m directing Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security to undertake all necessary and lawful action to break the back of the criminal cartels that have spread across our nation and are destroying the blood of our youth and other people,” Trump said Thursday.
Finally, Trump signed an executive order directing the Justice Department to use existing federal law to prosecute those who commit crimes against law enforcement officers.
“It’s a shame what’s been happening to our great, truly great law enforcement officers,” Trump said at the signing ceremony. “That’s going to stop as of today.”
Amnesty International USA swiftly reacted to the executive order, saying that while “(l)aw enforcement officers face unique hardships and challenges due to the nature of their work,” this order does not address underlying problems in the criminal justice system.
“This order will not protect anyone, and instead it creates additional penalties that could cause people to be significantly over-prosecuted for offenses including resisting arrest,” Amnesty International’s Noor Mir said in a statement.

Has the Trumpraeli retracted his public statement about Stop and Frisk being a great Law enforcement tool? NO, he hasn’t, therefore, he does not believe in the bill of rights what so ever, therefore, he is returning no power back to the people as he stated at the inauguration…We either have our Bill of Rights and Common Law enforced 100% or We have tyranny……
Unfortunately, the bill of rights only applys to Federal issues. You have to rely on the equivalent in your State magic parchments for an equivalent to hang your hopes. I just listened to a number of podcasts referring to the court cases confirming this
Horse shit.
Every state is chartered under the authority of the federal constitution. Every county is chartered under the state constitution, and this goes on right down to the municipalities. Hence the authority for any government at any level to exist in the United States comes straight and only from the constitution. The 9th Article to our people’s Bill of Rights says no authority can be created though the power of the constitution to infringe upon our rights to any degree.
The Bill of Rights is not a federal document, it belongs to each individual.
Why you would come on here and try to spew this bullshit is beyond me. I don’t give a monk’s f#@k what anybody else says on any f#@king podcast. They are wrong. Unless you have some documents containing fact of law that shows any exception to the Bill of Rights, I would suggest you do not spew any kind of horse shit like this again on this site.
I don’t hang my hopes, I assert my authority, which maybe you might have to have balls to understand. There is no such thing as case law in the common law.
Again, I better never see this again from you or you will be off this site, got it?
I love you Henry
Don’t let Laura find out… 🙄
I love you right back, and so does Laura.
You know I was just being playful, right? 🙂
Not a problem, #1. The fact is a lot of people love us and we love them all right back. 🙂

No, every state is chartered directly from the people. The federal government was created by the states to be their representative in dealing with foreign affairs and over certain things that concern the whole country such as money being backed by silver and gold; postal roads, etc.
Basically those who serve within the federal government do not have authority over much that they do today. The ONLY reason they can do it is that people have not bothered to know what they are allowed to do, required to do, and forbidden to do in a short document called the US Constitution. In each state’s Constitution is the contract for those who serve within your state government.
No, the constitution for the United States is the main charter, just like the Church was the main charter for the British Empire.
A territory must apply for statehood, said statehood is granted under the authority of the constitution. The states were formed under the laws of the federal constitution. The states, like the federal apparatus, derive their power from the people. The Bill of Rights outlines the limits of the power granted and the boundary lines to our freedom are a part of us and absolute and on the same terms, whether we are standing in a state or on the exact border line between two states. There are no lines within the borders of the continental United States that can diminish my rights to any degree. When the rights were declared through force of arms, it was through the actions of the people as a whole who were from everywhere and killed and died equally to establish them.
You guys must be some of these “States Rights” advocates who want your own brand of infringements built upon collectivism encompassed and identified through imaginary lines.
When this war is over you will understand that the Bill of Rights is the common law and its authority applies to every inch of these United States in its absolute terms.
Don’t try to push me on this issue because I am unmoving and will not tolerate any assumption of any infringement of any of my rights using any excuse. Got it?
You’re incorrect.
What the US Constitution does is determine the type of government each state must have, a republican form of government (Article 4, Section 4).
In Article 6 is found “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive, and judicial Officers, both ot the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution;…”
Those that serve within the state governments are Oath bound to the US Constitution and all that is in Pursuance thereof it as the supreme Law of this land – so not just by the positions they occupy within the state governments, but also PERSONALLY bound to “support and defend” it.
The Bill of Rights list things that are outside of governmental authority, or only under governmental authority when certain things happen; and when governmental enforcement is used it is required to be done in a certain way ONLY. (caps are mine.
So when the Constitution of the United States of America, Second Amendment states that:
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall NOT BE INFRINGED”
It means that those who serve within our governments – state and federal – have no LAWFUL authority over the people and what type, how many, etc of weapons they own. That it is a power that was retained (kept) by the people, not delegated.
Dr. Edwin Vieira says it well here: “This has nothing to do with personalities or subjective ideas. It’s a matter of what the Constitution provides…
The government of the United States has never violated anyone’s constitutional rights…
The government of the United States will never violate anyone constitutional rights, because it cannot violate anyone’s constitutional rights. The reason for that is: The government of the United States is that set of actions by public officials that are consistent with the Constitution. Outside of its constitutional powers, the government of the United States has no legitimacy. It has no authority; and, it really even has no existence. It is what lawyers call a legal fiction.
… the famous case Norton v. Shelby County… The Court said: “An unconstitutional act is not a law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties. It is, in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.”
And that applies to any (and all) governmental action outside of the Constitution…”
What are the defining characteristics of a limited government? They are its disabilities; what it does not have legal authority to do. Look at the First Amendment… What does it do? It guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion. But how does it do that? I quote: “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press” etcetera. “Congress shall make no law;” that’s a statement of an absence of power. That’s a statement of a disability.” (End Dr. Vieira quote)
Or take the Fourth Amendment: “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 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.”
Actions taken by those who serve within our government in any other way against the American people is an act of *Terrorism, and may qualify as Treason.
These are why governmental law enforcement was forbidden and those who serve/ed within the state and federal governments were REQUIRED to use the Militias of the several states to enforce these things and others.
*28 C.F.R. Section 0.85 Terrorism is defined as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives”.
“The basic purpose of a written constitution has a two-fold aspect, first securing [not granting] to the people of certain unchangeable rights and remedies, and second, the curtailment of unrestricted governmental activity within certain defined spheres.” Du Pont v. Du Pont, 85 A 724.
“What is a constitution? It is the form of government, delineated by the mighty hand of the people, in which certain first principles of fundamental laws are established.” Van Horne v. Dorrance, 2 Dall. 304.
“A constitution is designated as a supreme enactment, a fundamental act of legislation by the people of the state. A constitution is legislation direct from the people acting in their sovereign capacity, while a statute is legislation from their representatives, subject to limitations prescribed by the superior authority.” Ellingham v. Dye, 231 U. S. 250.
