The NPVIC Will Fail.

…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact

…

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) will be struck down by the Supreme Court, as its legality will inevitably be challenged once the requisite number of States have joined.

…

Yes, the States have plenary powers when it comes to appointing electors, but the SCOTUS has repeatedly shown it will NOT cede Federal authority without congressional approval… and we all know how much Congress loves taking definitive action, especially in an election year.

…

When the Great State of Colorado ruled that Donald J. Trump was ineligible to appear on the ballot in the 2024 election, the Supreme Court overturned their decision.

…

…

Even though we know this Court has no problem ignoring its own precedent and casually legislating from the bench, I do not believe they are willing to sacrifice ANY Federal authority in this instance, as it would put their extremist ideological cabal at a political disadvantage once the Electoral College falls.

…

…

The only way to End the Electoral College is with a Constitutional Amendment. The only way that happens is by Popular Demand.

The desire exists. The Will is there.

The process of creating a Constitutional Amendment to undo the Electoral College will be what motivates and unites ALL Americans behind this endeavor. Opponents say that ratifying a Constitutional Amendment is too hard, but that’s the only thing standing in the way of our success…

Words.

…

Let our ACTIONS speak louder than their words.

The sooner we start the process, the sooner we can End the Electoral College and ensure our National Security. Now, and for all time.

…

Every Citizen. Every election.

ONE CITIZEN=ONE VOTE.

We must End the Electoral College.

USA/Iran: Those responsible for deadly and unlawful US strike on school that killed over 100 children must be held accountable

…

IF we are to proceed… with PEACE or with WAR… with contentment or with malice… what good would come from it, if it’s not upheld beyond the next election? What good the WORDS with which it would be written? What strength would be conveyed by the message sent… what value would be added to the PAPER upon which it were written.

How long would it be before the sanctity was desecrated… how long ’til the dogs of war tear asunder the principles enshrined within such a document… how bright would the luminosity grow, if it were tossed into the fires of damnation.

How much more blood and treasure must be sacrificed… how much more must we ALL sacrifice… in order to establish PEACE, or condemn us to more insufferable WAR.

Stacks of cordwood, chest high as far as the eye could see. Sons and daughters… brothers and patriots… for what good? For how long? To what end… for what length of TIME must we fight?

How many more will be enough? Will it ever be enough to prove our commitment, to an ideology enshrined by the grudges of DEADMEN… long forgotten by a generation newly born.

I forget the names and the faces, as do so many more to come. Forced upon us because of their IGNORANCE… their PRIDE… the egos of generations PAST dictate to us our actions NOW, even though they no longer suffer the consequences of foolish endeavors.

WE pay the price for their failings, even as they lie in their graves. Shall we continue pay that price as we lie in our graves… indebted to their ignorance, chained by their prejudices?

More BLOOD. More OIL. More GOLD… more children.

Shall we continue to sacrifice our future to HONOR the past? Or shall we raise them up, and offer them in tribute… to ensure it will be NO MORE.

Set fire to our history, as it has led us here… to this time and place.

…

I wish nothing more than to right this ship. I seek righteousness and forgiveness. That means Justice must reign supreme… that means HONOR must be raised ON HIGH. Let empathy be our guide… as vengeance and anger line the path to our destruction.

Compassion and humility must always be our LIGHT.

The widespread economic problems we face, weren’t caused by the Biden Administration’s economic policies… they were caused by the unmitigated spread of COVID-19.

The unmitigated spread of COVID-19 wasn’t caused by mask-wearing, or a maleficent scientist or doctor… it was caused by the deliberate INACTION of President Donald J. Trump and his Administration.

The rise of Donald J. Trump wasn’t due to his superior oratory skills or the strength of his domestic political agenda. The rise of Donald J. Trump and his “UltraMAGA” agenda, is the direct result of the ROT and CORRUPTION he once claimed to be fighting against.

The rot and corruption inherent within the Party Establishment was employed in the shadows of the Presidential Primary, to benefit one candidate over another.

A finger was placed on the scale… thereby upending the BALANCE maintained within our electoral process.

…

https://observer.com/2017/08/court-admits-dnc-and-debbie-wasserman-schulz-rigged-primaries-against-sanders/

Ego. Anger. Self-interest. Greed. A perceived sense of entitlement… a perceived sense of grievance. These are not the values we should be holding UP and rewarding with elected office… especially an elected office as consequential as the Office of The Presidency.

…

https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/19/business/twitter-musk-trump-reinstate

…

Yet those values are espoused in successful candidacies to this day. Making the actions of previous Administrations the object of their vengeance… as if political agendas were specifically created to hurt others, as opposed to HELPING them.

This creates the destructive cycle in which we find ourselves, as the focus of the NEXT election… will inevitably be on the LAST.

‘Are you better off now than you were four years ago?’

That question has now lost all meaning in light of the Presidency of Donald J. Trump and the events of 2020. Let there be NO DOUBT… we will be better off in 2024, than we were in 2020.

I don’t know you… you don’t know me. Yet we have within us the same RED BLOOD. We harbor within us the same hopes and fears. Our worlds seem MILES apart… yet each one of us still STANDS for the same beliefs. That we are ALL created EQUAL, and that some rights transcend these Earthly bounds.

Our Nation is Great because we embody Great Things. Foundational beliefs. Core values, engrained in the heart of every American Citizen. The right to LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. Guaranteed… not just for some or a select few… but for all of us.

**When you defend the rights of others, you defend those rights for yourself.**

On account of sex… regardless of what that might be.

I still believe in the WORDS, as they were written…
We are ALL created Equal.

Now, it’s up to us to ensure it is so.

Why would Donald Trump think the FBI raid on Mar-A-Lago was executed by the Democrats and Joe Biden, and not the Department of Justice?

Because that’s what he would have done. That’s the process he would have pursued. That’s the preview for the Main Attraction. COMING SOON! The SEQUAL to his first term in office.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_of_Eight_(intelligence)

…

The Gang of Eight is briefed on all matters of National Security, and an investigation involving charges that stem from the Espionage Act would definitely qualify as a matter of National Security.

Nancy Pelosi said on Morning Joe she wasn’t briefed in advance.
Senator Schumer told Rachel Maddow that he had no clue.
The White House said they first heard about it on Twitter.

…

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/08/11/garland-trump-mar-a-lago/

…

Why would they LIE in public as opposed to TELLING THE TRUTH? Playing politics with our National Security is UNACCEPTABLE.

Every American Citizen deserves the TRUTH.

Something doesn’t smell right here. Either they are being briefed on matters of National Security or they aren’t. IF they are, then they’re lying. IF they’re not, then what the hell is going on on Capitol Hill?

Boy, I sure hope the Leadership of the Democratic Party is telling the TRUTH. Because if they’re not… then the GOP is gonna have a FIELD DAY with this one.

But I don’t feel sorry for Speaker Pelosi or Majority Leader Schumer. They weighed the consequences of their actions and chose to speak on the subject. They didn’t have to say a word about it. They could have been HONEST and said it would be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing investigation and just left it at that.

To tell you the truth… the person I feel sorry for is Kevin McCarthy. If the Gang of Eight was briefed on the nature of these documents, then he would have known about the execution of this search warrant WEEKS in advance.

…

“The warrant said it is seeking all ‘physical documents and records constituting evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed in violation of three potential crimes, including a part of the Espionage Act.’”

It’s gonna be hard to explain that one to Donald Trump… and that’ll make it hard to secure the support of his party in 2023.

…

We’ve created this cast of characters through OUR VOTE. With OUR CONSENT. What does it say that the “UltraMAGA” supporters continue to call for whatever Donald Trump wants?

Does it say more about the people who would continue to support him, or does it say more about the SYSTEM that would allow a candidate like Donald J. Trump to continue to flourish… becoming their ONLY OPTION. Their candidate of last resort.

In the eyes of some, there are no alternatives left. Sometimes… you just have to knock the whole thing OVER and start again.

As it is in the wake of a violent STORM. As it is in the aftermath of a devastating FLOOD. Few things can compare with the effective strength of a massive body of WATER on structural integrity.

Water, neglect, and the passage of TIME come to mind.

And now, as some call for us to tear it all down, I wonder… what would they have us install in its place? Shall we tear down the statues of Washington so we can immortalize the Art of the Deal? Are we ready to toss aside the notion that in this Country, there are no Kings or Queens?

Or is there something MORE… something that goes beyond the TWO CHOICES on the ballot this fall? How can we ever expect to find the ANSWERS to these questions… when the resolution we have looks like THIS?
