TZP recently had a visit from a troll. “Allan” claimed that Congress has the power to impose whatever gun control it wants via Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, because it has the “power to regulate the “Militia”.”
If that’s all there was to it, I would — and did — note that his reading of the Constitution was incomplete, that Congress only has that power over “such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States.” Congress gets to regulate only those called up for federal service; something that hasn’t happened lately.
However, “Allan” also chose to denigrate Americans as “nuts, “fans”, and “paranoid yokels.” In addition to my reply, he earned a flag for future moderation. Sadly, that flag was needed. He came back.
…to dismiss the limitation of regulating only those called up as a mere “red herring,” and insist Congress can “regulate” all the militia all the time, called up or not.
Organizing, arming, disciplining, governing: ‘Tis the stuff of top down, centralized regulation.
Spoken like a true authoritarian statist thug. But that’s not how the American constitutional republic is supposed to work. Limited powers were delegated to the federal (“central”) government, with the rest retained by the individual people and states. The people then decide who goes to the federal government. And once there, even those delegated powers are constrained by the Constitution (most notably, see Amendments Nine and Ten).
We could have agreed to politely disagree, but “Allan” couldn’t leave it at that. He declared that somehow Article VII defining when ratification occurs invalidates the Constitution… because it…
pretends to tell you all about an important area of law before it has become law, so A7 doesn’t even belong in the document.
I wonder if “Allan” has ever signed so much as a rental contract, and noticed that effective dates were included on the paper before he even signed it. Or if he’s read a bill in Congress that includes an effective date
But this brings us to just why “Allan” was flagged for moderation.
If a sustained fresh breeze of these self-evident truths were to blow through the USA’s law schools, it would set in motion a windmill of genuine, grinding change needed to rid the Earth of this dangerous abomination. Signs are good at places like Yale that students’ minds are becoming prepared for that breeze. When it comes, you may know that the USA has only a few more generations of aggression left in her before her death and decomposition.
That sound remarkably like someone advocating for overthrowing the US government and Constitution. Fortunately, the Constitution — flawed as it is, it’s what we have to work with — has an enforcement mechanism.
The Second Amendment. “Allan’s” army of Yalie lawyers might discover that a hundred million armed Americans object to their destruction.
That would be enough to get “Allan” blacklisted here. But he decided to make sure of it.
And, yes, it’s fair to describe many Americans as fans, nuts, and yokels. Plunderers, bullies, liars, ideologues, massacre specialists, and bigots, too. So when you see “USA”, just know that A stands for the holes at the end of Americans’ alimentary canals, esp. when found on the bodies of lawyers and their most lucrative clients.
Good riddance, “Allan.”

Ah yes, the blades of the windmill of Yale bringing grinding change as they slice up innocent birds everywhere. He might not want to get too hopeful about scads of new lawyers pouring forth from Yale though. He does understand their propaganda and approve of it I bet.

Yale University has been making headlines lately — and not in a good way — as Dr. Naomi Wolf has been giving them hell over their Covid-19 vax mandate. Yale is requiring students, most between the ages of 17 and 22, to take the bivalent booster tested on eight mice in order to continue their education for the spring semester — while allowing their faculty a pass on the latest shot.
And
Dr. Naomi Wolf reveals some financial numbers that should help clear things up a bit. “Why would they be harming young adults’ bodies in this way and doing something that the alumni would surely find to be very wrong if they knew about it?” she asked.
In short, “follow the science” = “follow the money.”
….
“My husband’s a private investigator, an intel guy, and he found a shocking paper trail from Yale’s own records and from a government database that tracks funding,” shared Dr. Wolf. “So basically, Yale’s making more money now from HHS than from the students’ tuitions. Yale got has gotten $9 billion from HHS since 1998 — and 1.7 billion since COVID began. And they just, in 2022, got $607 million from HHS and only $475 million from tuition. So you do the math! They need HHS more than they need their students.”
Yale is selling their innocent students as lab rats. No wonder Allen sees Yale as a bird slicing hope for the future. If they survive the jab, will they survive the indoctrination?
I have read and reread the U.S. Constitution many times. I have studied the Bill of Rights quite a bit. But there is always one thing that strikes me about the entire Constitution, that overcomes any single word that you could take out of the thing.
The U.S. Constitution was written not for as a document for the rights of the people, but more as a warning to the government, of what they are and are not, permitted to do.
The words that the founding fathers wrote are very precise, and you can see, if you read it looking for it that way, that great care was taken, at many places, to ensure that the meaning of the words could not be mistaken for anything other than their plain meaning. Not the method of electing the governmental officials, their duties, the very difficult method of changing the document, nor the manner in which to impeach a president, something that has been made a mockery of the past several years.
Looking at the Bill of Rights, the language used was quite clear, as well, and if considered what the meaning was, it cannot be made any clearer, when looking at the 2nd amendment, that guns are meant for an individual, and not to be even so much as gazed at cross eyed by the federal or even a state or local government, with the thought of making some law trying to place any kind of rule on them, even on a felon, who had paid his or her debt to society.
The whole idea of touching the Bill of Rights with any kind of law, using fancy language or sneaky legal talk, is simply absurd, and yet, we have allowed it to happen. Is it any wonder that supposedly Ben Franklin said that we have a Republic, if we can keep it? Because he assuredly knew that the second that the ink dried on the last signature of the document, someone would begin to try and sneak their way around it, to their own good and financial gain.
Now you go and read the document once again. Read it with an eye as if you are considering a new nation, and want to use this newly written constitution as it’s charter. What do you think that the odds are that you could get enough people in your imaginative natin to sign on and swear their allegiance and pledge their lives and sacred honor and fortunes to the defense of that constitution? Because for anyone who has pledged that oath to the constitution does not pledge an oath to the country, not to the Americans that live here, not to their fellow soldiers, or even to a flag. The pledge they make is to the constitution, which is the thing that makes all the rest of this possible. And without the constitution, none of the rest of this can stand for long.
We are now seeing what happens with a government hell bent on destroying the ideals set forth in our constitution. And we see what happens now that they are succeeding. I don’t know if it is too late to turn thing back. But after this fall midterm election, I can pretty much say that the ballot box’s time is pretty much over. The Democrats seem to have won that one. I don’t for a second believe that a nation with the troubles that we have, just elected the huge numbers of Democrats that we did. Here in Michigan, with an economy in the toilet, and a government failing, we now have a complete Democrat run government in Lansing, from top to bottom.
No, I don’t think for a second that the election was fair, or true. And at this point, I don’t think that it will ever again be trusted. I don’t know what is next, but I think that I don’t like what it is that is coming. But better now, while I still live, than later, when my children and grandchildren have to face it alone.
