Why the Bill of Rights Is Failing

225 years ago today, the first ten amendments were added to the new Constitution of 1787. Those amendments have come to be known as the Bill of Rights, and taken as a whole, these amendments represent what can only be described as one of the few parts of the Constitution worth applauding today. While most of the Constitution is concerned with centralizing government power, raising tax revenue, protecting the institution of chattel slavery, and hammering the independent states into a consolidated political union, the Bill of Rights, on the other hand, was concerned with limiting government power: Bizarrely revered by many as a "pro-freedom" document, ...

Trump’s Foreign Policy Team: Built to Fail

WASHINGTON — With the announcement that he will nominate the Exxon Mobil chief executive Rex Tillerson as his secretary of state, President-elect Donald J. Trump has rounded out a foreign policy team that is, to put it mildly, profoundly different from that of any of his six Republican predecessors since World War II. It’s also unlikely to last particularly long.Certainly Mr. Trump’s team is different from that of the George W. Bush administration, which came loaded with Republican foreign policy establishment figures — a difference that Mr. Trump will no doubt flaunt as a virtue. Indeed, the Bush team proves that appointing officials with long experience in Washington ...

Rex Tillerson: An Oligarch’s Dream at the State Department
Post Date: 2016-12-17 11:23:24 by Willie Green

To succeed in setting up your U.S. oligarchy, you’re going to need to be friendly with oligarchs in other major powers. If confirmed by the Senate, the next secretary of state will enter into the service of the second employer he has ever had in his life: the United States government. Since his graduation from the University of Texas in Austin, according to The New Yorker’s Steve Coll, Rex Tillerson has known only one boss (in aggregate): the shareholders of Exxon Mobil. Already even Republicans are chafing against President-apparent Donald J. Trump’s pick of the oil giant’s CEO for the post of the nation’s top diplomat, on account of Tillerson’s close ties to ...

America is now a country without hope, Michelle Obama has said. Asked by Oprah Winfrey if her husband’s administration had lived up to its promise of hope, the first lady said yes, adding: “Because we feel the difference now. Now we’re feeling what not having hope feels like. Hope is necessary.” She added: “And Barack didn’t talk about hope because he thought it was a nice slogan to get votes. He and I and so many believe ‘what else do you have if you don’t have hope? What do you give your kids if you can’t give them hope?’” In what is likely to be Obama’s last interview of the year, she suggested that Americans would miss ...

The nation’s top intelligence officer James Clapper said that “NO intel briefing for electors” before the vote.
Yeah, that’s because there’s nothing to brief anyone on – it’s fake.
Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, Christine, a Hillary electorate was leading the charge, trying to get Hillary supporters an intel briefing in bogus “Russian hackers” before the vote.
Why?
Were they considering voting for Trump?
Otherwise, what’s the point?

Libertarians emerging as Trump resistance

As some Never Trumpers go dark, libertarians have taken up the cause. There were the warnings against flag-burning, the threats of tariffs, and the intervention in Carrier manufacturing negotiations. And now, there’s the possible appointment of ultra-hawkish John Bolton to a top role at the State Department. Donald Trump’s transition is raising flag after red flag for libertarians, a Republican-leaning group that in turn has emerged as a vocal, frequent thorn in the side of the incoming administration even as some previous “Never Trumpers” have gone dark. And with Sen. Rand Paul’s power to bog down Trump’s nominees, the libertarian movement sees tangible ...

Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) and a top official at the nation’s largest police union, who called it a “kick in the teeth to the cops.” The Obama administration announced on Thursday that it was nominating Adegbile for a six-year term on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

But at the moment, it doesn't have a police force.

New polling shows that Americans are more hopeful than they have been in over a decade. Consumer confidence is up; Americans believe that Trump will deliver much-needed change and Trump’s favorability numbers are soaring. However, that doesn’t stop the LYING left and their assault on Donald Trump by totally TRASHING the “peaceful transfer of power” with their fake Russian hacking stories, and divisive narrative. Case in point, while Americans FINALLY feel hopeful, something Obama could never offer, Michelle Obama claims Trump’s win has made Americans feel “hopeless.” From Daily Mail: Click HERE to read the remainder of the article.

BREAKING : Shameful! Anti-Trump Texas Elector Chris Suprun Lied About Being a “9/11 Hero”
Post Date: 2016-12-16 16:10:14 by Gatlin

Chris Suprun is a Texas elector who says he will NOT honor his pledge and vote for Donald Trump. Needless to say, he’s been getting hammered pretty hard on social media. Suprun’s expressed his intentions to go rogue in a New York Times op-ed, which got the ball rolling. Since then we’ve discovered that he has ties to Black Lives Matter and race baiting CNN host Van Jones. We’ve also learned that he went bankrupt, yet still managed to scrape enough money together to join “marital cheating” website Ashley Madison. I’m sure his wife and kids appreciated that. However, it gets worse. Suprun has been passing himself off as a 9-11 hero first-responder. ...

If the Russian Hacking theory is real the CIA report is credible, why won’t CIA officials brief Congress on the matter? They’re flat-out refusing to do so. This move brings into question the already BOGUS hacking theory, which has ZERO evidence to support the claims that Russia interfered with our election in hopes of helping Donald Trump.

Everyone, including the Russians, is sick and tired of our hysterical media and whacko liberals passing off conjecture as FACT. This entire Russia hacking story is a fraud designed to create chaos with the American people and to delegitimize Donald Trump. Neither of which are working. There’s ZERO evidence to support the theory that Russia hacked into the DNC and John Podesta’s email to help Donald Trump win the election. It’s patently absurd. Russia is now saying, “Put up or shut up” as they warn the U.S. to either show evidence or stop accusing them of tampering with a United States election.

The US's railroad network is made up of around 140,000 miles of track, but many of our trains are slow and outdated. Over the last couple of decades, countries like China, Japan, the UK, and France have made large investments in high-speed rail, and some groups in the US are urging that we do the same. Here's what a high-speed rail network could look like in the US.

After Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg denounced the idea that fake news influenced the U.S. election as “a pretty crazy idea,” the social network has decided to fold under the pressure of current media narratives and will take measures to censor what is labeled “fake news” on users’ news feeds. Facebook is partnering with numerous media organizations, including Snopes and ABC News, that make up part of an international fact-checking network led by Poynter, a nonprofit school for journalism located in St. Petersburg, Florida, reports Business Insider.

There is a giant push by governments and mainstream corporate media to censor criticism of the American government as somehow helping Russia. That’s honestly one of the most anti-American, pro-Communist kinds of bullshit I’ve ever heard. In reality, dissent is one of the most uniquely American values. As someone born and raised in the U.S., who has lived here my whole life, and who values the Constitution and the rule of law, I’m furious that idiots are pushing a Soviet version of censorship which would destroy what our forefathers fought and died for: freedom. I’m pissed off that they’re trying to destroy what makes us Americans. As Georgetown history ...

Forbes recently released its rankings of “The World’s Most Powerful People,” and the results don’t look good for President Barack Obama. As the president enjoys his last few weeks as commander in chief, his approval and respect have seemingly diminished significantly, as his place on Forbes’ list dropped dramatically from last year. In 2015, Obama came in as the third most powerful person, which wasn’t great, considering he is supposed to be the leader of the free world. But it was nevertheless much better than 2016’s list, which has him placed at an embarrassing number 48. Last year, Forbes explained why the U.S. president wasn’t number one, or ...
