The NY Times claims that the left should no longer constrain themselves by having to follow the “broken” and “famously undemocratic” U.S. Constitution which “stands in the way” of “real” freedom and democracy.

I would post a link directly to it, but it is behind a paywall. It doesn’t matter. I get the point. Here is mine:

The Constitution is a contract between the people and the government. It follows the basic theory that was in existence at the time of the founding: that people found governments to protect their rights. Governments rule with the consent of those being governed. Getting rid of that constitution removes that consent and ensures that the government from that point forward is not ruling with our consent, but instead by force.

Without a Constitution, the government will have admitted that it is illegitimate and ruling through the barrel of a gun, rather than the consent of the governed. At least at that point, they won’t be bothering to even hide it any longer.

I saw this post today over at Wirecutter’s about the government demanding the identifying information of people who post things critical of the government/FBI/cops. Wirecutter said:

Yeah, keep that in mind next time you leave a comment on a blog about killing feds.

I can guarantee you that this will extend to blogs and different blogging hosts will fall all over themselves to turn over information about people leaving threats, even if they are just venting.

That is the exact reason why I don’t want people who post comments here to have to register. I don’t collect information on anyone who posts here. I don’t want to know who you are. I can’t be forced to turn over information that I don’t possess.

With that being said, making threats is just a good way to be on the radar. My advice to anyone who is opposed to what is happening is this: be the gray man. Don’t be on the radar.

Alec Baldwin says that he keeps losing job opportunities because he killed one of his employees in a reckless gun handling incident. Don’t you understand how he is the real victim here?

Now the special warfare community is falling to this woke nonsense. The Navy SEALS are reporting that they spend more time on diversity training than they do on actual combat training.

And we only have X amount of hours in the day. And so you have a two hour training block. It’s not two hours — you’ve got to add half an hour ahead or half an hour after. So you’re looking at really three hours. So three hours is what, 600 hours? Just do the math on that, and then multiply that across the entire Department of Defense.

I’ve been saying for awhile that our military is rotting from the inside out and from the top down.

• We have the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs calling the Chinese, America’s chief military rival, and informing them that he would refuse an order from the President, if that President gave an order to attack the Chinese.
• We have a Navy that is filled with drag queens and rust buckets.
• The Army can’t even field 31 full Brigades, while the Army Reserve can’t find enough battalion commanders.
• The rot began under Obama, whose administration had ROTC candidates wearing red heels for diversity training.

It has me wondering. What if the so-called nuclear secrets possessed by Trump were reports that things have gotten just as bad in some part of our strategic forces? It isn’t as if the Air Force hasn’t already alluded to the fact that they can’t maintain a nuclear ground alert force. The Air Force only has 66 nuclear bombers remaining, out of the more than 600 that were once available for nuclear alert.

Graft, greed, and corruption form those who nominally serve have gutted the picked over carcass of what was once the greatest nation the world had ever seen. That nation doesn’t exist any longer.
