These are unprecedented times. No president has intentionally failed to protect this country from invasion until now. Previous to this time all political parties, would have supported impeachment to rid themselves of this major threat to national security.
The Joe Biden Administration pretend there is no border crisis as a million and a half unvetted invaders coming from at least 150 countries have illegally crossed into the United States during his time in office. America has no southern border. Biden has never been on the border and shows no interest in upholding any of the long established laws regarding it while narcotics and sex traffickers flow freely through. Presently Florida is suing Biden for human trafficking as his administration purposely flies or buses illegals into our cities nation wide.
All this on a border that was more secure under the Trump Administration, largely by building a wall, than at any time in our history. Even now we know of 60,000 illegals, mostly Haitians, approaching our border to overwhelm our border patrol and invade our states, counties, and cities. This would be the second Haitian invasion in six weeks and the Biden Administration has no announced plans to deter them, and in fact by negligence, he encourages their coming.
Does the Constitution allow this? No!! Article IV, Section 4 specifically guarantees each state protection “against invasion.” When taking office the president swears by oath “to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” (Article II, Section I, Clause 8). His primary function is to execute the laws passed by Congress: “He shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” (Article II, Section III). He refuses! His administration is the greatest threat to the Constitution in U.S. History.
What is the countries recourse when its chief executor openly defies established immigration laws, engages in human trafficking of illegals into the interior, and refuses the primary duty of his office to protect the nation? An unsecured border is America’s biggest national threat. The answer is not to wait three plus years for another “fraudulent” election, there will be no America left to save. Nor is it the 25th Amendment as Kamala Harris appears no more fit for the office than Biden—especially on the subject of illegal immigration. Nor is it Impeachment as the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, constitutionally charged with initiating this process will defy this part of the Constitution as well.
Until one of these options is activated removing him, the only remaining constitutional option and answer is that the states must secure their own borders. Remember, under federalism, implemented with the Constitution, we operate under two co-equal governments federal and state; the federal to govern primarily foreign policy, the state entirely internal interests. Should the federal government refuse to protect the border, an open border translates into a state issue one foot inside.
Arguably a state, with Biden opposition, cannot order federal agencies to protect it from an invasion, but it can use the state militia without his authority. The militia is not the army. It is the people, the citizens, and in the 2nd Continental Congress, even before the Constitution, the militia was defined as every able bodied male 17 years of age and older.
In 1903 the Dick Act clarified the 2nd Amendment definition of militia by dividing it into Part A, the unorganized militia, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed,” and Part B, “a well regulated Militia,” the National Guard. Both “being necessary to the security of a free State.” The organized militia was to remain a separate body from the army and navy and retain its distinct internal function and control under the state legislatures and governors (when they could not be convened) “against domestic violence” (Article IV Section 4). Notice the wording in the Constitution authorizing Congress, “to provide for calling for the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions”—all internal functions (Article I, Section 8, Clause 15). Congress and state legislatures can call it forth.
Unlike the army the militia is allowed to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections including, with state authorization, domestic violence . The Posse Comitatus Act forbids the military these internal functions.
The National Guard was never to be thought of as merely a pool of reserve troops for the army. Impeachment proceedings should have been threatened against President George W. Bush when he treated them as such deploying 100,000 of them in 2005 to Iraq and Afghanistan, when enlistments were not enough, rather than asking Congress to restore the draft. This alteration of the Constitution by blatant ignorance is serious. The National Guard was simply an easy target and no one from either party objected. But it cannot perform its constitutional duty outside the United States. President Barack Obama ordered one-year deployments of Guardsmen in Afghanistan in 2014. Both parties have violated this part of the Constitution.
The rational for a militia separate from the army is very simple. The first line of defense from unwanted aggression is oneself (2nd Amendment), followed by local law enforcement agents, followed by the National Guard guarding the nation from within (2nd Amendment), followed by the military. Biden, by unconstitutionally flying or busing illegals into the interior rather than vetting them fully in Mexico, should motivate all state legislatures to send their Guardsmen to the border immediately. Placing them on the border to repel the coming Haitian invasion would be entirely constitutional. It would also help discourage future invasions.

Vaccine mandates, passports, masks, social distancing, and everything associated with COVID-19 is unconstitutional and therefore unlawful and unenforceable at the federal level. It is also at the state level because of the Bill of Rights, but that requires a future column. Joe Biden’s decree, affecting 80 million Americans, mandating that all employers with more than 100 employees, be vaccinated, or weekly tested for the virus, or their businesses will be fined. This mandate, said to have originated as an OSHA regulation, did not. Nancy Pelosi knows it is not law and thus has included the mandate in the Infrastructural Bill now before Congress.
Even if OSHA had originated the regulation, or Congress succeeds in passing it, states can still nullify the decree or law within its state, according to the 10th Amendment. It reads, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” This protects federalism.
The Tenth Amendment restricts the federal government, (the executive, legislative and judicial branches) to the enumeration clause of Section I, Clause 8, which lists the areas in which the federal government can legislate, execute, and adjudicate? All powers not specifically listed, or added later to the Constitution by way of the amendment process outlined in Article V, are left to the states.
This clause divides all federal power into the four following areas: Congress has power to tax, pay debt, provide for the general welfare and common defense. So as to restrict the federal government from enlarging its power, which is its natural tendency to do, the last two grants of power of the four each had an additional eight clauses giving clarity to what was meant by general welfare and national defense.
Even with this clarification, states, fearing that the federal government might still grow at their expense, refused to ratify the Constitution without additional restrictions harnessing it more fully to the enumerated powers, hence the Bill of Rights. These ended with Amendment 10 and the deliberate handcuffs on federal power.
The proper constitutional response is to refuse to recognize it in their state and boldly so declare. It is quick and final. No branch of government was empowered to override federalism. The solution is definitely not to sue the federal government as this only places the decision in another branch of the same federal government, which almost always rules to increase federal power. Once rendered in court, it only makes it more difficult to refuse compliance later. The solution is not to rescind an executive decree or mandate, because such asks a federal entity to do what the executive branch never had power to do in the first place. If Congress has stepped outside the listed powers making a new law, it is not to ask Congress for a law less restrictive, as that implies that they had the power to create law outside listed powers in the first place.
None of these actions preserve separation of power. What does is to honor the Constitution as written and declare boldly that the federal government has no constitutional jurisdiction as the power exercised is not listed in Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 1-18 and has not been added to the Constitution by amendment. Until this, all unlisted power remains with the states.
Founding Fathers James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton were each especially vocal with respect to states having the authority to “Just Say No!” to federal law not enumerated. This was the original view of the Constitution. Such was used in 1798 in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolves, in 1832 in the Nullification Crisis in South Carolina, and more successfully with the northern states, especially Wisconsin, in 1854 over the highly unconstitutional Fugitive Slave Act. Without a new amendment to the Constitution dealing with health, vaccine mandates, abortion, and many more issues, remain entirely state issues.
James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, wrote in The Federalist Papers #46. “Should an unwarrantable measure of the federal government be unpopular in particular States, … the means of opposition to it are powerful and at hand. The disquietude of the people; their repugnance and, perhaps refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union, the frowns of the executive magistracy of the State;” would provide “very serious impediments;” more so if states stood together. This “would present obstructions which the federal government would hardly be willing to encounter.”
Thomas Jefferson wrote in agreement in the Alien and Sedition Acts, “where powers are assumed which have not been delegated, a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy” and “that every State has a natural right in cases not within the compact to nullify of their own authority all assumptions of power by others within their limits: that without this right, they would be under the dominion, absolute and unlimited, of whosoever might exercise this right of judgment for them.” And, Alexander Hamilton shared, “…the State governments will, in all possible contingencies, afford complete security against invasions of the public liberty by the national authority” (Federalist Papers #28).
Remember, the states created the federal government in the first place establishing a system called federalism which recognized the principle of dual sovereignty, neither is master or slave to the other. Each viewed state nullification as an important check on unacceptable federal assumption of state powers. No branch of the federal government, not even the Supreme Court, has the constitutional authority to destroy this check. The Constitution will recover confiscated state authority if governors have the fortitude to reject immediately any decree, mandate or law not tied directly to enumerated powers. It is time they do it again. Long term delay give opponents supposed past practice legitimacy which in time can destroy precious parts of the Constitution if not brought back in line.

September has been designated preparedness month. Anyone the least bit observant can see gigantic storms on the horizon. The nation is divided as in 1860, the year before the Civil War. Few families can discuss politics around the dinner table, when everyone comes home, without someone getting angry. Few adults have not chosen one side or the other—there is no middle. There are no nonpartisan elected leaders, college professors, or even religious leaders, although this group mostly try to keep their biases silent and focus on loving one another and Christ, so that congregations do not divide and donations do not dry up.
One side condemns the riots of the summer of 2020 where burning, pillaging, and violence occurred. The other called them “mostly peaceful demonstrations” and focus on the “insurrection” in the Capital building, January 6, although the supposed insurrectionists broke nothing nor hurt anyone. No guns were found in their possession but unarmed Air Force veteran Ashly Babbitt was killed by capital police. Films show them escorted into the building by capital police. Eight months later some arrested, for essentially trespassing, remain in prison without trial. Twice since, fences have been erected around the capital to protect it from phantom insurrectionists.
One side indoctrinates themselves with primarily MSNBC and NBC, the other with Fox News and NewsMax. Today essentially all news is propaganda news. The only break in this is when a hurricane comes through strong enough for the sides to lay down their weapons to barricade their communities from wind and flood.
One side believes COVID-19 was generated in part by American scientists including Anthony Fauci, in the Wuhan laboratory in China, and used to encourage shutdowns and thus mail-in ballots to elect Joe Biden. That much surrounding the pandemic was used by the opposing political party, in conjunction with Big Tech and Big Pharma, to undermined the Constitution and freedom. The other siide view the above as disinformation and censor it all.
One side, convinced that the other cheated in the election of 2020 and every election since, (two Georgia U.S. Senators and governor in California), insists on forensic 2020 audits in all battleground states. They maintain that Donald Trump was rightfully elected president. They also maintain that the Space Force recorded every vote in every county in the nation and are proof positive that China electronically switched Trump votes to Biden. If so, this brings treason into play. The other side censors all such information and refuses all attempts to access ballots or Dominion voting machines to prove otherwise.
The long-awaited Arizona forensic audit, to come out September 24, is expected to produce fireworks when it discloses the above. False flags (staged news events to fill the news cycle to bury this news) are expected; anything: a death of a prominent political leader, an attack by China on Taiwan, hostage taking of Americans left by Biden in Afghanistan, a mass shooting or bombing, anything, to keep the audit off the front page—even a news blackout to keep this story submerged.
When it does come to light expect cities to burn as in the summer of 2020 led by Antifa and Black Lives Matter, and not just downtown. Expect travel and commerce restrictions and delays. Expect food prices to escalate further. Since Biden has been in office meat prices have soared: beef 59.2%, pork 34.1%, chicken 32%, fish 18%, and turkey 41.4%. Eggs are now up by 31.7% and grain prices 98% (X22 Reports Episode 2574A Sept. 12, 2021). When the George Soros funded riots move into the suburbs look for truckers to cease deliveries to affected areas and skyrocketing price increases. Factory items, already backed up, could become unavailable. Consider a red October and November and Marshall law in some cities in coming weeks.
Gather a few weeks or months supply of food and essentials for your families now, before preparing is called hoarding and made unlawful, also toilet paper and commonly used medications. Store some water and warm clothing or blankets, should electricity be cut off for more than a few days or weeks. Stock up on all those things that were scarce in the pandemic of 2020. Silly! Extreme! Yes, but eventually if I am wrong, and I pray that I am, you will use these items anyway, so what do you have to lose?
If China was an accomplice intentionally bringing COVID to America and/or electing Joe Biden, both are acts of war and there will be repercussions to them which could escalate to more than just the information war we are now in. As difficult as it is to think this way, consider enduring an EMP or nuclear exchange.
If these people risked treason by stealing the election they are not going to give it back without force. And if we let them get away with it they will do it forever in the future. When free elections vanish so do the Constitution and liberty. The military, under devolution, will have to restore order and freedom. When this is proved Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not likely to be in power long thereafter.
Collusion with an enemy country (China) is treason and those involved will have to be tried in military courts as enemy combatants under devaluation as outlined in two LibertyUnderFire previous columns. The military may have to be in place several months before the lawful winner is more fully restored.
September has been designated preparedness month. When storms are on the horizon, the wise prepare just in case..

U.S. History textbooks cite British tyranny as the major cause of the American Revolution but nothing King George III did to the colonies can match the tyranny unleashed upon millions of unvaxed Americans, September 9, 2021 by Joe Biden. His Executive Orders are reminiscent of the persecution unleashed by national socialism under Adolph Hitler on the Jews or by socialists under Joseph Stalin on Christians.
On this day two decrees emerged, the first “Executive Order on Ensuring Adequate COVID Safety Protocols for Federal Contractors,” the second, “Executive Order on Requiring Coronavirus Disease Vaccination for Federal Employees.” Both begin, “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America.” There exists no authority in the Constitution for a president to unilaterally make a law or anything similar to it. That ended with King George III.
Moreover, there exists no law originating, than processed successfully through the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate and signed into law by the President specific to COVID-19 or any previous illness for precedent reference, especially that mandates the ingestion, by skin or otherwise, of any foreign substance against the will of the subject. Biden simply made it up.
The effect of the first decree is to force all federal employees, and contractors or subcontractors that do business with the federal government to be vaccinated thus threatening their jobs. “That covers several million workers,” reported the Associated Press. They will have 75 days to comply. Those not complying “will be referred to their agencies human resources department for counseling and discipline, to include potential termination.”
And the second executive order, mandates “all employers with more than 100 workers to be vaccinated or tested for the virus weekly.” That could affect another 80 million Americans. Still a third group, affecting yet another 17 million, are those receiving federal Medicare or Medicaid.
For employers who refuse to force employee vaccinations for employment, the Biden Administration through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), anticipates leavying a penalty of $14,000 per violation. Biden also wants doubled federal fines on airline passengers who refuse to wear masks (Sweeping new vaccine mandates for 100 million Americans , Washington, Associated Press, Sept. 9, 2021).
Test out options for those who already had COVID-19 are not allowed. These have natural immunity said to provide at least ten times more protection from a COVID return than those who had the shots which might be weakened. To these millions this is COVID tyranny. Moreover, with 177 million said to be fully vaccinated against the virus, herd immunity should have been accomplished long ago as with other viruses. So the mandates are about power not immunity.
Together the decrees use force, or the threat thereof, to make everyone in America comply with their demand. Biden said as much. “Many of us are frustrated with the nearly 80 million Americans who are still not vaccinated,” he said, adding later: “We’ve been patient but our patience is running thin.”
Biden is unhappy with those who decided that the jabs have more risks than the disease which is survivable by at least 98.8%; unlike smallpox and polio where fatality rates, of those who got it, was respectively 30% and 23%. After 20 months of COVID-19, few in America personally know anyone who actually died from COVID alone. And censored is the number of those who died from the vaccine. Reluctance to comply is more profound when the vaccine has not demonstrated an ability to prevent the disease as originally promised. Biden’s insistence that those who survived COVID wear masks and get the jabs makes no sense to most. The existence of one, two, three and four booster shots is proof that the vaccine does not work well. For these people the CDC, FDA, WHO, and Biden/Harris have all discredited themselves.
The executive branch has NO authority to make law—any law!!!! Executive Orders are constitutional only when they cite a single, recently passed law of Congress, where that law needs a statement of implementation by the executive branch. Nor can a president constitutionally cob together parts of ancient laws to create new authority never intended by the authors of previous law. Originally they were but interdepartmental directives and not intended to be anything more. No mention of them exists in the Constitution.
The people have the right to know that every restriction imposed upon their behavior was read, discussed, and voted on by four elected, thus accountable, persons—their Congressman, their two U.S. Senators, and their president. Mandated lockdowns, masks, or vaccines have never passed this required review and thus enforced, are tyranny.
Mandates are not laws. So what is the Constitutional recourse for resistance. The legislative branches should move immediately toward impeachment on the basis that Congress alone makes all law, and additionally, refuse to fund any portion of the decrees. The 27 states presently opposing the decrees should use the 10th Amendment and make them null and void within their states. Businesses with over 100 employees should shield their employees with immediate class action suits against the federal government. Citizens should remind their employers that should they fire them for noncompliance they in turn will initiate class action suits against them.
What ever happened to, “It’s my body, my choice,” once mouthed by millions of Democrats? These now lead the tyranny against those who really believe this. Or,“It’s my body, isn’t it?” If one has to ask, the Constitution is almost gone, and with it liberty.

Recently LibertyUnderFire published “Biden Voters Bear Responsibility for Afghanistan Debacle.” It documented a foreign policy disaster by the Democrats second to none. Sixty percent of Americans now believe Biden should be removed from office. Two years ago I said, “the day will come when few will admit having once been a Democrat.” This prediction will prove even more true ahead. Why?
Because on January 20th the United States became a socialist country ruled by Democratic Socialists. Socialism in any form has no brakes in its control over others hence can become very tyrannical. Tyranny, whether expressed by lockdowns, compulsory mask wearing, vaccinations, vaccine passports, or censorship is still forced behavior by one part of the population on the other and is not popular. Socialism divides the population into two classes, the rulers and the ruled without the ruled having any say in the matter. Elections, if they exist at all, are for window dressing to make socialism appear to have popular support but are always controlled. The antidote to socialism is the U.S. Constitution as written, as it, when followed, provides brakes on the growth of government and prohibits tyranny. This is why socialists oppose the Constitution.
Because, as the coming forensic audits will prove, and FrankSpeaks.com has already shown beyond doubt of any reasonable person, the election of 2020 was the most fraudulent in U.S. history by enemies of the republic both domestic and foreign. Over a thousand affidavits and real time computer switches of Trump votes to Biden in every county will necessitate a reckoning with justice. The Democrat Party will fall from grace. Are Democrats interested in making certain this never happens again? No! They roadblocked every audit and implemented full-court press censorship practices of anything negative to Joe Biden.
Instead, their H.R. 1 “Bill For the People Act” sought to cement indefinitely corrupt election practices widely used in the 2020 election. Contrary to its title the nearly 800-page bill would remove authority over elections from the people and the states. It constitutes a federal takeover of all elections. It installs controlled elections. With the defeat of the bill in the Senate the House simply repurposed much the same bill, now called HR 4 which in now pending.
Because, more and more Christians view the Democrat Party as a threat to Christianity as demonstrated by their promotion of the so called Equality Act which “would give homosexuality, transgenderism, and other perversions of human sexuality and gender the same protections as race or sex in employment, housing, public accommodations, and more.” It specifically prohibits religious freedom as a defense. “The legislation applies to churches, religious schools, religious hospitals, religious employers, gathering places, sports, all government entities, and more. Christian adoption agencies will be shut down, too, if they refuse to place children with homosexuals or individuals confused about whether they are men or women.” It could criminalize Christianity, Judaism and Islam as their holy writ condemn as sin the behaviors of the LGBTQ community (“Equality Act Would Unleash Federal Persecution of Christians,” By Alex Newman, New American, May 8, 2019).. It is also anti-women affecting bathroom privacy and women’s sports.
Because, Democrats oppose the Constitution on virtually every freedom issue especially religion, speech, press, self defense, and the 9th and 10th amendments. Indeed as a student of the Constitution, I have difficulty finding any part of the Constitution that they support as written.
With the violence, burning and looting in our streets last summer, endorsed by the Democrat Party presses and office holders, and staged to reappear after the forensic audits this Fall, more people are purchasing firearms for their own self-defense than ever. They see the wisdom of the Founders in defining the people as the militia and cementing their right to keep and bear arms from any government. Democrats can not push to defund the police without at the same time causing the populous to feel unprotected. Many now understand that an armed populous is the best protection from a complete socialist revolution.
Because, the Democrat Party opposes borders. Such opposition allows criminals, terrorists, child sex predators (even pedophilia slavers for the vile appetites of the wealthy class, Hollywood and members of Congress), and drug dealers unrestricted access to our vulnerable populations and the bounty of our land. Illegals, they believe, in appreciation for access to America, will become reliable Democrat voters.
Because, the Democrat Party seeks to bankrupt America. On March 15, 2021, Joe Biden signed into law the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Act without a single Republican vote in either house. Only 9% of it had anything to do with the Wuhan China Virus. Nearing passage is Biden’s $3.5 trillion budget and $1 trillion infrastructure bill. Democrats plan trillions more debt in reparations for descendants of slaves, the green new deal, and free college for everyone. It is hard to believe that the Democrats, and globalist Republicans, are not purposely pushing us over a cliff to destroy the economy of the once wealthiest nation in world history. In just eight months of his reign we are no longer energy independent and soaring prices are already felt by everyone.
Yes globalist Republicans too have been complacent in bankrupting America because of their national debt increases; but Democrats appear to be aggressively so. Biden provides benefits for those staying home from work, resulting in factories not having sufficient laborers to maintain their normal production loads. This has resulted in shortages and backordering of items of every kind, crippling the economy. And severe food shortages are on the horizon.
