Our RIGHTS as given in the Constitution are being not only infringed, they are being SHREADED.

Trump is letting FAKE models, CORRUPT and or INCOMPETANT fear mongers in Fauci and Birx, and the dem Govs and MSM KILL this country. SLOWLY.

Better to be THOUGHT a dictator who TOOK control and reopened the country saving us all, than to be proved a Constitutionalist that let the States and dem Governors lead us over a cliff of doom.

This is TRULY a war. Trump even SAID SO. OK then Mr. President. In a WAR do states get to decide what is best or proper for their citizens or does the PRESIDENT.

Did FDR let the states decide what to do in WW2?

Did Woodrow Wilson in WW1?

How about Harry Truman in Korea?

How about Lincoln in the Civil War?

How about Johnson in Vietnam?

Washington in the Revolutionary war?

Washington in the War of 1789?

WHO gave those Presidents that power?  Was it States?  Was it Governors? was it Congress? Was it the SCOTUS?  NO, it was WE the People.

Get the picture? NO across the board. This is the FIRST war to hit the American shores since the Civil war. Lincoln did what HAD to be done. Even SHUTTING down Habeas Corpus. Lincoln took CONTROL.

Trump MUST do the same. The time for federalism is PAST when Governors of certain states  are either unable, or UNWILLING to do right by their citizens.  They do NOT have the POWER or the RIGHT to shut us down and lock us in our homes.  I believe that is why the weasel word “guidelines” is used, and they say everyone SHOULD obey the guidelines. Not even YOU Mr. President, have that power.

It does not say MUST and what IS a guideline. Is it a LAW? No, it was not enacted and voted upon by any legislature or Congress.  It was NOT signed by ANY Governor or the President.  It most ASSUREDLY was not affirmed and voted upon by the public.  So HOW can they enforce something that is NOT law, even IF it was enacted by an Executive “order” by a Governor OR a President.  LOTS of Executive “orders” by Governors and Presidents have been challenged in court and ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL.  IE ILLEGAL.   Why NO ONE has yet challenged this in the federal courts, is astounding, and that IS coming.

I’m sorry but NOWHERE in the Constitution or Bill of rights does it say the STATES shall decide what is “safe” for the citizenry.  Nowhere does it say the President or Congress EITHER.

ALL the constitution EVER talks of is IDIVIDUALS rights to LIFE, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, the right to assemble, the right to own a weapon the freedom of speech, freedom from ILLEGAL searches and seizures, and so on.

People keep quoting the 10th amendment, BUT conveniently leave OFF a key part. The 10th says: The Tenth Amendment reinforces the principles of separation of powers and federalism by providing that powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the states, are reserved to the states OR THE PEOPLE.

They use this to constrain the President over States rights, but FORGET that WE the PEOPLE are mentioned ALSO.  What about INDIVIDUAL rights and constraints?

NO one mentions the ninth Amendment, but in THIS case, it is paramount. The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. In other words, we have RIGHTS beyond those specifically mentioned in the Constitution, and they CANNOT use other parts of the Constitution to disparage, or DENY those rights. Not the Governors, not the States, not the Congress, not even the President can DENY those rights.

Well, there you have it.  This means that the Federal or ANY other Government may NOT use their Constitutional POWERS to deny me ou you our rights which are listed in the Constitution OR “other” rights NOT explicitly listed in the Constitution.

I believe the framers intended FREE will, and that included the rights to pursue things like earning a living which would enable life,liberty, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS..

One of those unlisted rights I believe they intended by all the FREEDOMS they granted us FROM State or Federal CONTROL, had to be the right to assume our OWN risk, make our OWN decisions that would ENABLE our rights.   We have the RIGHT to risk our own health and safety.  We do it EACH and every day when we leave the house and get in our cars and travel to work.  You MIGHT get injured or killed on the way to work be it by Car, boat, train, plane, bike, or foot.  You ASSUME that risk, assessit, and make your OWN decision to proceed out.  They cannot speak for YOU in this, YOU decide.

You COULD be struck by lightening when leaving the house. You could step in a hole and break your leg.  You COULD be hit by a car while crossing the street.  You have the RIGHT to risk it. You must, if you want to earn a living, and live your life.  It does not mean be careless, but you actually DO have that right to be.  You have the right to do STUPID shit that may hurt you.  That is your own right and assumed risk. NO Government official has the right or POWER to tell you HOW you SHOULD or should not assume risk, or what you are doing is too dangerous for YOU to assume that risk.  That is FREE WILL.  That is REALLY what the framers installed in the Constitution and the bill of rights.

The Founding Fathers had LIVED under a far away Government oppression from Religion, and taxation without representation. The FOUGHT for FREEDOM. LIBERTY to do as we wanted to a point, you can’t violate laws like murder.  But those are LAWS enacted by legislatures and Congress and voted on by representatives, not enacted arbitrarily by one (ANY)Government official.  This shut down was neither voted on, discussed, or enacted as a LAW by our elected officials.  Governors alone got to decide WHO was essential and WHO was not.  WHO could work and enjoy their pursuit of happiness, and WHO could not.   EXACTLY as the Founders did NOT intend.  They fought to get away from singular control.

The founders could never have foreseen this pandemic, but they gave the responsibilty to handle it to the PEOPLE via the bill of rights, and NOT the Government. We did not do this in 1918.  We did not do this in the 1950’s with Polio.  We did not even do this during WW1 or WW2.

When I say I want Trump to take control, do NOT misunderstand.  I just want HIM to remove the decision FROM the Governors AND himself.  ONLY he can take the power from the Governors, and then only HE can declare us open and Give the POWER back to US. AGAIN,  we the people would responsible for our OWN heath and safety.

As the founders intended.

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of …America.”

WE the PEOPLE.  Not the Governors, not the Mayors, Not EVEN the President or Congress.   They get their power from US.  Their job is to DEFEND us, not micromanage us.  Their job is to protect and defend the Constitution, which includes the bill of rights, not SHIT on it because we are too stupid to keep our selves SAFE.

From our own Declaration Of Independence which began our country’s breaking away from the kinds of rights infringement we are experiencing now.  Then it was King George today it is a bunch of Governors and even the President.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Wise words, written by Thomas Jefferson into the Declaration of Independence,  coupled with these: But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security”

What that means is that when a person or “government” or a King, abuse your rights and usurp (infringe, deny) them in a quest for power to reduce or restrict those rights without your consent, it is your right and duty to rebel and even overthrow those people from power and then to provide NEW government to secure those rights.

They NEVER thought those words would apply FORWARD. But they HAVE.

What to do when you have your rights usurped through no malicious actions of your own?

We can rebel in the form of protests. But they will simply be endured and ignored. We do not have the TIME.

We can SUE, which is what I am pursuing.  I am seeking to enjoin my Governor and even the President for arbitrarily infringing on my rights and telling me who and who is not essential to my life.  I have little hope this will succeed, but there is hope, should I get the right judge.  We also do not have the TIME for this to drag out.

We can wait as the dem Govs stall to bash Trump by destroying a LARGE percentage of his constituency.  And stall they are and stall they will.  They WANT as much misery as possible for the small businesses.  They know that the VAST majority of them are Trump voters and NOT their constituency.  Their constituents are still being paid via being union and “essential” persons like government.   This option is untenable, and will result in most businesses being destroyed and NEVER coming back. They do not realize that by doing this they are hurting the USA in total for a LONG period of time.

They are only seeing the short term HARM to Trump via his supporters.  They are NOT looking to next year when there will BE no tax monies from the small businesses next budget, and that WILL hit them and their constituents.  But, they think Trump will be gone by then and it will be worth it.  That’s it in a nutshell, this is ALL about politics to get Trump by destroying his economy and accomplishments via PUNISHING his constituents.

Don’t think so?  Why then do things that are DIRECTLY hurtful to the country as a whole?  Like keeping it closed.  Like forcing small businesses to cease to exist. Like STALLING and holding up a relief bill that would sustain those small businesses. Like not having a ready made PLAN to reopen prepped and ready to employ during the 35 days so far of shutdown?  Like NOT procuring the needed tests and supplies necessary to ensure timely reopening?  Like them blaming Trump for their own incompetence for NOT getting those things ready.  Like asking for more money from the Federal Government to do those things.

We do not have TIME.

The dems are focused on the SHORT term, think the Nov 3 the election.  They want as MUCH moisery NOW as they can help to create via EO and STALLING the reopening’s.

They are not thinking of the LONG term implications that their stalling and infingement does.  Not only to the economy which will be CATASTROPHIC. But to FUTURE events.  Should a REAL killer pandemic or emergency occur in the future, the people will NOT believe it and will RESIST the quarantines, that might be necessary.  This was that protracted and draconian.

Long term our economy if not opened FULLY by May 10th, Not June, not May 24th, May 10th, will be SCREWED for YEARS.  Not partially, FULLY.   Why?  Because 50% of the economy is small businesses. We ALL know that.  What they are NOT telling us is that 2/3rds of that 50% will NOT be back if not opened by mid May.  Small businesses and even some LARGE ones do not have the capital to ride this out,  they have rent, insurance, supplies, utilities, they CAN’T afford with NO income.  They employ REAL people, but they CAN’T afford them. Disneyworld is loosing 30 MILLION a day.  That is OVER a billion dollars SO FAR.  Even with their VAST resources, they cannot maintain for much longer.  IF  Disney can’t, how can mom and pop America?

Now the dems are gleeful at that fact, because most of small businesses are Trump voters.   They are IGNORING that without that TAX BASE of those 2/3rds, they and THEIR constituents will be hit HARD next year. BIGTIME. Who do you THINK funds the Federal and State Govt employees and programs?  Right the tax payers. That means that even if opened fully later we will be missing 33% of the tax base.

Think of the economy as a big circle. Each person puts into that circle by buying things and producing things and paying taxes.  As that circle GROWS. it is prosperity, more things being bought and sold, more taxes, more money to make and spend.  As it SHRINKS the effect is the opposite,  SIMPLE.   Dems are looking at the damage NOW, not next year.

Rush just hilighted an example.  Oil. People think LOW oil prices now equals good times. IT does, but it is UNSUSTAINABLE in the future.  If the price gets too low for TOO long, our energy dominance will be crushed as the oil producers here cannot stay open with that low a price.  The Saudi’s and Russian’s don’t care, they pass their misery on to their people.

IF the oil producers here SHUT NOW due to low prices. Next year when the glut of oil is used up, we will only have the ME and others to provide the supply.  Our companies will be gone, at least short term.  Know what THAT means?  LOW supply HIGH demand= HIGH prices, REALLY high prices, which means it costs MORE to ship goods via truck, plane and rail.  WHO do you think the shippers pass that cost onto?  The receivers.  Who do THEY pass it on to?  WE the consumers.

We JUST experienced about 16 YEARS of that under Bush and Obama.  It took Trump THREE years to fix it, BUT that was with a fully open and functioning economy, pent up companies and entrepreneurs were there, just suppressed.  When they are GONE, they will have to be redone by in most cases someone else, which takes TIME.

Time is the ONE luxury we do NOT have. The virus has been in the US, if you believe the first numbers, for 52 days or so.  The charts with EVERY other country indicate that this virus peters out, with or WITHOUT mitigation at about 60 days.  We are THERE.  Sweeden, as an example,  NEVER closed, they took their lumps, and they came out early, and WITH their economy intact in UNDER 60 days.    WE did the unthinkable. We shut it ALL down.  Time to THINK now and do the COMMON SENSE thing NOW.

The mitigation to flatten the curve only served to LENGTHEN the TIME of misery even IF it lessened the number of deaths.  Flat means squashed in height, but WIDER on the base, which is days, and MONTHS.  Doing NO mitigation meant more death, potentially, but under far LESS time, about 1/3rd LESS.  Sweeden, though smaller, did NOT even experience the MASSIVE death, that had a number, but now their crisis is OVER.  Not flat and consistant, OVER.. CRATERED,  That is what WE always did before, even 1918. Why did we change?  Because of a model?  That is a WHOLE another post, but suffice to say, when you rely on a projection that is proven to be HIGH by a factor of 50, that means the model is SHIT.  When you CONTINUE to let them adjust that model to TRY and “fit” it to the facts on the ground, the model is DEEP SHIT. When you STILL allow that flawed model to be used to do FAR more damage to the economy than the disease you are trying to stop EVER will. someone is using STINKY SHIT for an agenda.

We volunteered to suffer this for NEARLY two months, based on MODELS.  We now have DATA on the ground.  We know how, WHO, and what this virus effects, we did not then, we do NOW. We NOW have supplies, facilities, medicines, and medical studies and procedures in place like testing.  We did NOT then.

It is TIME Mr President. DO the RIGHT thing.  Open the Country May 1st, FULLY.  EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING. Let we the people ASSUME our OWN risks, on our OWN decisions for what is best for our OWN lives.

IF some or even a majority CHOOSE of their OWN free will to stay home and mitigate, LET THEM. Support them.  IF, however people chose to go out and open businesses, go to movies, go to dinner, go to concerts, congregate in groups, LET THEM assume their OWN risks and DECIDE for themselves. SUPPORT THEIR decisions and rights just like the people who chose NOT to go out yet,

It is the ONLY way. it is NOT your decision to tell ME what is best or SAFE for me. It is MINE and mine ALONE, the Constitution and the framers, and the men and women who FOUGHT and died for that right GAVE IT TO ME.

It is NOT Governors or STATES rights in this it is  INDIVIDUALS rights.  We have the CHOICE.  It is NOT their choice, it is OURS.  Give the POWER BACK where it BELONGS and has STOOD for OVER 240 years, to WE the People.
