"Equitable sharing" is a federal asset forfeiture program that incentivizes local police to act like federal agents - and take people's property when they were never convicted of a crime. Asset forfeiture is stealing.

Relying on Elections is a Bad Strategy: Tenth Amendment Center

James Madison’s advice on how to deal with the Federal government.

This doesn’t mean don’t vote - it means that voting cannot be the beginning and end of the fight for liberty if we want to actually achieve change.

A legal doctrine first created out of thin air by judicial fiat went unchallenged - and the court did what it does so well, it eventually forced that same doctrine on all 50 states.

National Guard troops could remain in DC until Fall 2021

The National Guard could stay in Washington, D.C. for the next several months, with an internal email indicating troops could be on the ground in the U.S. capital until Fall 2021, according to a recent report.

This is what actual dictatorships do to enforce their grip following a stolen election.

If you don’t believe the election was stolen, look at Venezuela.

This isn’t about safety, this is called “martial law” without actually saying it. The National Guard has a duty and sworn oath to uphold, and staying in the capitol as an occupying military police force is unconstitutional. Their state leaderships need to recall them from the capitol immediately. The National Guard is a State (10th Amendment) delegated authority, not Federal. By occupying the capitol of the United States, those states are equally in direct violation of the 10th Amendment.

If the election was fair and legal, they would not need a military force to protect their power and enforce their authority.

Opinion | George Conway: Trump simply doesn’t understand his job

Trump took a solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. He ought to know something about it.

But it’s not just federalism that Trump misapprehends. It’s grade-school-level civics that the president carries out laws, not his whims or desires, however laudatory or popular they might be. The very Article II that he has claimed gives him “the right to do whatever I want as president,” actually says something quite different: not only that “he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” but also that, if he needs authority to do something for the good of the country, he should go to Congress, “and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” Faithfully executing the law means not only enforcing it but also abiding by it — including its limitations.

And there’s no exception for emergencies. Law students studying the Constitution — and plenty of middle and high school students of U.S. government and history as well — learn about the Supreme Court’s famous “Steel seizure case,” Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. v. Sawyer. In April 1952, the nation was at war, in Korea, and the nation’s steelworkers went on strike. Having tried unsuccessfully to mediate between the workers and the steel companies, President Harry S. Truman issued an executive order directing the commerce secretary to take immediate control of most of the nation’s steel mills. The steel companies challenged the order, and within a month, the case was in the Supreme Court.

Truman lost, even though the country was at war, even though steel procurement was essential to the prosecution of the war, and even though the Constitution made him, as president, commander in chief of the armed forces.
