Politics / Re: A SKEPTIC'S VIEW
Last post by CCarl - July 23, 2025, 06:46:48 AMThe Inherent Corruption In Government - Part 2
How Party Politics Destroys Independent Thought and Liberty
Noah Webster [1758-1843, attorney, educator] didn't mince words; "Nothing is more dangerous to the cause of truth and liberty than a party-spirit." Over 200 years ago, he saw the danger of trading truth and principle for party loyalty. In other words, when people stop thinking and start following, liberty doesn't stand a chance. Here is Webster's message, step by step.
Step One: Independence Is Surrendered.
"When men become members of a political club, they lose their individual independence of mind. They lose their impartiality of thinking and acting, and become the dupes of other men."
Step 2: Fair judgment disappears.
"The moment a man is attached to a club, his mind is not free:" This is the foundation of the warning. If the mind isn't free, the person isn't either. Obedience replaces curiosity. Conformity replaces conviction.
Step 3: Tribalism replaces reason.
"He receives a bias from the opinions of the party:" Suddenly, positions change. What was once wrong becomes right - because the party line says so.
"A question indifferent to him, is no longer indifferent, when it materially effects a brother of the society." Tribal politics hijack priorities. Issues that were once irrelevant become flashpoints - not because of principle, but because the party has something to gain.
"He is not left to act for himself; he is bound in honor to take part with the society."
Dissent becomes disloyalty. Acting from conscience is frowned upon. Silence becomes complicity.
"His pride and his prejudices, if at war with his opinion, will commonly obtain the victory;" Even when there's inner conflict - when something feels off - pride usually wins.
"And rather than incur the ridicule or censure of his associates, he will countenance their measures, at all hazards;" Avoiding shame becomes the goal. To keep status and favor, people go along - supporting policies and actions they'd never accept from the other side.
"And thus an independent freeman is converted into a mere walking machine, a convenient engine of party leaders."
Step 4: A Once-Free Mind Becomes An Obedient Tool.
No different from a campaign sign or a soundbite. Reliable, predictable - and utterly controlled. That's what party loyalty creates: blind obedience packaged as virtue.
"Nothing is more dangerous to the cause of truth and liberty than a party-spirit." Not foreign enemies. Not economic collapse. Not even war. Party-spirit.
Because when winning becomes the goal, truth is the casualty. And when loyalty to a party overrides loyalty to liberty, the Constitution becomes optional. Power is excused. Abuse is rationalized.
This corruption isn't limited to one side. It infects every corner of the political establishment - and most of the grassroots - today.
The loudest defenders of "freedom" often vanish when their team is the one in power. The same people who scream about overreach look the other way when it's coming from their side.
"An independent freeman is converted into a mere walking machine, a convenient engine of party leaders."
Webster's warnings still hit like a hammer.
It wasn't just about politicians. It was about everyone willing to trade principle for party. Those whose principles shift depending on which party is doing it were never patriots. They're pawns. And nothing is more dangerous to liberty than letting pawns pretend they stand for freedom.

And please understand, the MAGA-hats have the same intentions for their enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Here is the link: https://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/breaking-dni-tulsi-gabbard-confirms-former-president-obama-authorized-assassination-attempt-on-trump/
And here is an excerpt:
Redacted transcripts reveal that Obama, under the pretense of national security, convened an off the books task force of senior intelligence officials and military advisors at Camp David in late December. One document, marked Eyes Only 44, reads: "The threat Trump poses to institutional stability cannot be overstated. Removal, if necessary, is justified." While Obama has not commented publicly, legal teams are reportedly mobilizing behind the scenes. As the files prepare to go public, the country teeters on the edge of political reckoning, and the question now isn't whether there was a plot, but how far it went, and who else was involved.

Obituaries / ROMANS, Betty Lou (Yarborough)...
Last post by patyrn - July 18, 2025, 08:22:42 PMIt is with deep love and sorrow that we announce the passing of Betty Lou (Yarborough) Romans, a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and friend, who peacefully departed this life on July 14, 2025 at the age of 91 at Truman Lake Manor in Lowry City, Missouri.
Born on October 16, 1933 in West Plains, Missouri, Betty lived a life defined by grace, kindness, and unwavering devotion to her family. She spent her days nurturing her loved ones, sharing her wisdom, and embodying compassion in every word and action.
Betty was known for being caring, resourceful, and generous, as well as for making hundreds of quilts. At least three of these were registered with the Kansas Historical Society. She also made delicious homemade meals, cakes, pies, and Rice Crispy treats. Betty was very involved in the Moline Christian Church and the community of Moline, Kansas whether attending services, serving meals, coordinating the community food pantry and more. She enjoyed playing Pitch with friends and family and had fond memories of working at the free thrift store named Bloomingdale's . Betty's presence was a source of comfort and joy, and her legacy will live on through those she touched.
Betty is survived by her son, Jesse Romans; her grandchildren, Dan, Jack, Kaci, James, Joshua, and Emmanuel; nine great-grandchildren; and two great-great grandchildren along with nieces, nephews and other close relatives. She was preceded in death by her parents, Wilbur Thomas and Lucy Rebecca (Woods) Yarborough; siblings, Henry, Hazel, John, George, and Dorothy; her husband, Granville McArthur "Art" Romans; and her sons, Jacky and James.
A Celebration of Life for Betty will be scheduled in the fall. Friends and family are welcome to attend and honor the beautiful life she led. Thought she is no longer with us in body, Betty's spirit lives on in every recipe passed down, every family gathering, and every warm memory. We will hold her close in our hearts forever. Sheldon-Goodrich Funeral Home of Osceola, Missouri has been entrusted with arrangements.

"No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it."
– Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803)
"A law repugnant to the Constitution is void. An act of Congress repugnant to the Constitution cannot become a law. The Constitution supersedes all other laws and the individual's rights shall be liberally enforced in favor of him, the clearly intended and expressly designated beneficiary."
– Ex parte Siebold, 100 U.S. 371 (1879)
"An unconstitutional law is void and is as no law. An offense created by it is not crime. A conviction under it is not merely erroneous but is illegal and void and cannot be used as a legal cause of imprisonment."
– Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425 (1886)
"An unconstitutional act is not law. It confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office. It is, in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed."
– Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966)
"Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule-making or legislation which would abrogate them."
– 16 American Jurisprudence 2d, Sec. 256
"No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law, and no courts are bound to enforce it. The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, whether federal or state, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void and ineffective for any purpose, since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW, in legal contemplation, IS AS INOPERATIVE AS IF IT HAD NEVER BEEN PASSED."

Politics / Re: OVAL OFFICE BUFFOONERY
Last post by CCarl - July 13, 2025, 09:14:31 PMA Play On Words: A Path Made Difficult By Political Play
As President, Trump chose to climb a hill to fix America. He thought the hill had a regulatory path up it that he could control. He expected an easy walk, some hand-waving adulation, and when the path got a bit steep he could yell out, "Make a hole, make way for The Sir Donald."
Instead, he found the footing difficult in the loose gravel. It seemed to be a step forward followed by a few Republicans pulling the carpet out from under him. He looked down often to check his footing, then looked up into a Thorny CIA bush that whacked him across the cheek and shoulder from the side of the path. He swore to get even, he still owed them for lies in 2020.
Then he tripped while wiping a little blood from his face and arm, and almost fell. He caught himself and looked back. It was a stubborn old root in the trail, one of the principled conservatives who voted against his Big Beautiful Bill. He screamed to campaign against all of them in their home States.
Then both feet slipped on the damn Republican gravel again, and he went to the ground, scuffing a knee. He cursed them, thinking he should have remained a Democrat. He rose and made a fist pump while he cursed all the world powers that disagreed with his Trump Way.
He dusted himself off and continued his climb. Along the path he decided to use his standard big-business policy of pitting X against Y. It seemed to disorient others. Then move to a position of agreement with Y, only to turn the tables on Y later. Then switch up on X. Again, he thought, 'disorienting others will empower me. It worked on the elementary school playground too, so why not in the world's three-ring, political circus'.
He came to the long, single-log crossing of Elon Creek where his support felt more like a log role as he lost his balance, fell, and soaked his ego. He yelled to the world, "I'll deport him with the others that aren't American."
He hit the trail again with a mop of wet blonde in his eyes, trying to wring water from his shirt. He ran smack into the scaly, Bitter Jewberry bush, and cursed wildly that it would rather dictate to him than listen to him. He murmured to no one in particular, 'maybe I should turn the tables and support the Muslim world's desire for nuclear materials'.
Then just above him, there was a split in the path. Trump took the path up Epstein Grade, the short-cut of course, thinking he could master it even though it is a steep, rutted climb with large rocks lying at every turn, and full of slippery, sticky mud after each rain. He made a major stumble on a big rock. He edged away, visibly limping, his knee was twisted and bruised. He would limp to the top, if he didn't slide to the bottom. It was a big mistake to lie about exposing the Epstein client list to get elected, then claiming there is no client list to expose.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/no-one-believes
To quote the link above: "No one in America - not even the most deranged, spike-faced, pink-haired transtifas - believes the latest Epstein story as played out by Mr. Trump . . . . in this week's cabinet parlay."
He pondered, 'many world leaders are as good at my schtick as I am. I'm losing traction on his hill climb, I've been buffooned by buffoons, my control is gone, and I'm losing MAGA support'. He sat on a large rock to ponder a moment. It started to slide downhill with his weight.
He stood and cursed, watched the rock gain downhill momentum and start a landslide. Then he looked up. He wasn't halfway to the top. He needed help to finish the climb. He could not afford another slip or stumble. He decided the only way to reach the top was to build a bed of false flags, then invoke martial law to quell the resulting civil unrest. He is convinced he can return to greatness. He thought the Bitter Jewberry bush may be his best ally to achieve that false flag event.

From Immigration to Prison State
- John & Nisha Whitehead
Under the guise of national security and public safety, the Trump administration, in response to its immigration fear-mongering, is engineering the largest federal expansion of incarceration and detention powers in U.S. history. With over $170 billion allocated through Trump's megabill, we are witnessing the creation of a vast, permanent enforcement infrastructure aimed at turning the American police state into a prison state.

Talking Peace with Putin While Arming Putin's Foe
- Tyler Durden
Trump contradicts his Defense Secretary's authority and orders $300 million in arms be sent to Ukraine to offset Russia's advances. All the while talking peace measures with Putin. Does anyone understand the path to peace is not more war?

Terrorism Wins the War
- Daniel McAdams
It took thirteen years for an al Qaeda warrior to organize and overthrow the Syrian government. He promptly installed himself as Syria's new president and traded his desert camo garb and long beard for business suits and shaves. Now Trump proclaims him "a young, attractive fellow" and "a tough guy, a fighter, with a very strong background. He has a lot of potential, he's a real leader." I.E., Trump kisses al Qaeda's a$$.

Washington DC Is The Monster
- Judge Napolitano
Today we send troops to foreign countries to apprehend a foreign citizen living in that country, then arrest him, charge him with crimes for the perceived harm his foreign business dealings have caused Americans. The arrested individual is not American, and has never lived in America. Find the Constitutional authority on this one!!
