Thomas Paine: American Philosopher, & Revolutionary
From 1776 through the formation of The Constitution I helped create America. Now I have returned to help save America. American Patriots must join together, speak out in free and open discussion to fight the “woke” anti-American mob, and further the cause of FREEDOM.
The Colorado Supreme Court Rules Trump Ineligible for Primary Ballot
On Tuesday the 19th of December 2023, the Colorado Supreme Court bared former President Donald J. Trump from having his name on the 2024 GOP Primary ballot. The unprecedented ruling was issued claiming Trump “instigated” violence at the Capitol on January 6th 2021 as lawmakers were meeting to certify the results of the 2020 election.
The basis for their decision rests in the 14th Amendment,
Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office, which states,
“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each house, remove such disability.”
The key words are “shall have engaged in”. To be clear, that implies an inherent conviction in a court of law. This is not the place for interpretation of whether or not the subject individual may have engaged in insurrection or rebellion. In American jurisprudence, any Defendant is innocent until proven guilty. Even Donald Trump.
This is the procedure you might see in a banana republic, where political opposition is persecuted without recourse. This can not stand in the United States of America. Because he has not been convicted, or even charged with insurrection, the Colorado Supreme Court decision is unconstitutional, denies Trump the constitutional right of due process under the 5th Amendment, and violates 52 U.S. Code § 10307, which states under,
a. Failure or refusal to permit casting or tabulation of vote
“No person acting under color of law shall fail or refuse to permit any person to vote who is entitled to vote under any provision of Chapters 103 to 107 of this title or is otherwise qualified to vote, or willfully fail or refuse to tabulate, count, and report such person’s vote.”
In other words, the COSC has disenfranchised the public voters by denying them the ability to vote for their person of choice based on an unconstitutional ruling. They have interfered with the public’s right to choose their preferred candidate by coercion. If the voters can’t see the name as a candidate, they have been coerced into voting alternatively.
The Origins of the Case
From a Reuters article; [1]
“The case was brought by a group of Colorado voters, aided by the advocacy group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), who argued that Trump should be disqualified for inciting his supporters to attack the Capitol in a failed attempt to obstruct the transfer of presidential power to Biden after the 2020 election.”
CREW’s President said in a statement that the court’s decision “is necessary to protect the future of democracy in our country.”
The Reuters article goes on to say that “some advocates had hoped the Colorado case would boost the overall disqualification effort . . .”
Well, it looks like they may get their hopes granted. There are currently 13 more states considering to ban Trump’s name from their primary ballots; AK, NJ, OR, NM, NV, NY, SC, TX, VA, VT, WI, WV, and WY. We’re about to find out which of those states are as foolish as Colorado, and it makes me wonder if there is someone coordinating this unconstitutional effort. Coincidental ? I don’t believe that for a second. This is a highly organized campaign.
Nothing says “communism” like the radical left-wing Marxist movement. And every time I turn around, it looks like yet another scheme coming from an epicenter on Martha’s Vineyard. He’s got his entire ideological party and his Propaganda Media Complex convinced that Trump must be stopped by ANY means necessary and they know they will get away with anything to do it. Democrats are above the law, period !
Isn’t it ironic how Democrats keep lecturing us on “protecting our democracy” when, in fact, they are doing precisely everything they can to destroy it ?
Then they expect you to believe the absolute nonsense they are spewing from their incredibly deceitful and delusional voice boxes. They are stone cold drunk on “Socialist Kool-Aid”.
Furthermore, there is no charge against Trump for “inciting his supporters to attack the Capitol.” But hey, you’re not supposed to question their accusations over minor details. You are being conditioned to believe everything they say.
Just for the record, Trump actually said to his supporters at the January 6th rally, to go “peacefully and patriotically” protest at the Capitol. That is NOT instigating violence or incitement to riot. The actual events at the Capitol are highly controversial and could be argued at great length some other time.
What Exactly is it that Leftists Hate About Trump ?
When I say “leftists”, I’m referring to that faction of the Democrat Party that is directing every move they make, and don’t make. I’m not talking about the old hippies who grew up influenced by the likes of JFK and Jimmy Carter. Those “traditional liberals” don’t even realize their beloved party has been hijacked by extreme left-wing Marxists Hell-bent on turning America into a communist nation. The only problem with them is they keep voting to their own detriment with blind loyalty influenced by hard-sell propaganda.
What do they hate the most ? Was it:
the booming economy ?
the low inflation ?
the low unemployment across all ethnicities ?
the energy independence that weaned us off foreign oil ?
the secure border that kept illegal immigration at a minimum ?
the lack of unending foreign wars ?
the respect on the world stage that kept adversaries at bay ?
Surely, it can’t be any of those realities. When I asked my liberal wife, she had a hard time coming up with a suitable answer, mainly because she knew I could destroy it in less than 60 seconds, but finally said something like, “I objected to him saying ‘grab her by the pussy’”. OK, so you don’t like him personally for something he allegedly said 15 years before he ran for office to a golfing partner in a locker room setting. What a “thoughtful” answer. And I suspect there are a lot of women who held that against him in 2016 and 2020. Does that really warrant voting against all those abovementioned accomplishments in lieu of a communist agenda ?
Or, is it something more sinister ?
A lot of political pundits believe the Democrats are terrified that Trump will actually “drain the swamp” by exposing the heinous corruption they have been engaged in for the past several decades. That is a plausible explanation. Keep in mind, Democrats like Obama and Biden could easily be found guilty of treason. It doesn’t take a lot of ink to connect the dots when you realize who is at jeopardy and who is orchestrating everything for their own protection.
Whatever the reason(s) may be, it’s incredible how viciously and vigorously the Democrats and their Propaganda Media Complex have attacked Trump and his family business. There is literally nothing they won’t do to keep him from winning the 2024 election. No law will stand in their way. No constitutional protections will prevent him from being legally persecuted right up to Election Day. No vote count will allow it. Which is why I believe with every fiber of my being that they will steal the presidency, again. They have to because their own lives are at stake. Every American should be furious that traitors are destroying America.
We the People demand accountability. The 2024 election is a choice between America and communism. It’s that simple.
