The 10th Amendment to the constitution is one of the most powerful and important amendments to our constitution.
Ratified in 1791, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution embodies the general principles of Federalism in a republican form of government. It simply reads, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people.”
The Obama/Biden administration aggressively pursued weakening it through federal regulations throughout their term. Waters of the USA was part of the original Clean Waters act of 1972, however Obama/Biden through the EPA expanded it drastically. Soon farm ponds and most anywhere water gathered were under scrutiny for this nefarious action. Through their agencies they placed onerous requirements for any energy developments, other than wind or solar. These actions held up the construction of many energy products including the infamous Keystone Pipeline. Most people don’t know because the media didn’t report it but the Keystone as well as several other branches were extensions of an already existing pipeline. This transportation system, which include the Alaskan Pipeline is about the safest way to transport fuel across long distances. Thankfully Trump was elected and through the same regulations, he removed many which in the end, trespassed on to states rights.
This brings us to the current events happening across our nation. There is a concerted effort by the democrats, not just left wing radicals but the Democratic Party as a whole to support insurrection. Across our nation, primarily in states and local governments controlled by democrats violence is escalating. While many scream “Why isn’t Trump doing anything” remember the 10th amendment which he obviously adheres to. Like many others I know that a regular military or police action could stop this quickly. It would cost lives though. Even though most of them would be the rioters in the street. States have rights and are controlled locally. The federal government is tasked with protecting our borders, which many democratically held states oppose. The National Guard is in essence a militia, guaranteed by the constitution. They are also under the jurisdiction of the states, however they can be nationalized by the federal government. George Wallace, a Democratic governor of Alabama was a strong racist and opposed the Civil Rights Act signed in to law by Lyndon Johnson, also a Democrat and another known racist. One of Johnson’s most famous quotes of the era was “those ni**ers are going to vote for democrats for the next hundred years.” Spoken after signing one of several bills aimed at gathering the black vote. His “Great Society.” Johnson sent the national guard in to Birmingham Alabama to enforce the civil rights act on the University of Alabama campus.
The National Guard should be used sparingly. Especially on US soil. For this reason, the current administration has not sent in troops into our cities. The governor’s have all of the resources they need with their own contingent of the guard. To date, Democrat governors have refused to uphold the law and have allowed property destruction and murder to continue in their cities. The mayors are also complicit.
Many people believe that the civil war started when General Beauregard’s troops opened fire on Fort Sumpter in Charleston Bay. While several people have been shot and killed during these riots, could the recent murder of a man in Portland by an antifa terrorist be the start of the next. It is clear that he was targeted. Witnesses have said that someone in the crowd said “we’re going to take one of them down.” The suspect is believed to be black. The police have not released a statement or description as of yet. Meanwhile the leftist, mayor as said nothing. We believe at this point, the violence is going to escalate and the mayor, Ted Wheeler is at fault. If the president continues to honor the 10th Amendment and Wheeler continues to do nothing to protect his citizens, the mob will rule ending with a gun battle like we have not seen. BLM and antifa will be overrun. It’s coming to many of the cities owned by the left. Sadly it could have been avoided had the governors and mayors honored the oaths they took when entering office.
**Update August 30, 4chan users appear to have identified the shooter as Michael Reinoehl, 48 from Portland. A tattoo on his neck matches video footage taken the evening of the murder.
Last week William Barr seem to indicate that his department “has not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.” Though this statement was only a portion of his interview, the department hasn’t stepped all over themselves to attempt to clarify it. What has Barr and his department investigated to be able to even make such a statement?
