The 17th

Machiavelli said, “It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”  A prescient and oft repeated quote that is pertinent to the situation.

When our founders created the system of government for our constitutional republic, they built in layers of protection from federal control over the lives of people in the states.  Over time those protections have been eroded as the federal bureaucracy has seized power.  One of the biggest changes that led to the creation of the permanent political class was the 17th amendment.

Our founders created a system where Senators were appointed by the state legislatures.  In this original system the senate was bound by obligation to look out for the best interests of their specific states.  Under the ‘advise and consent‘ rules of Senate confirmation for executive branch appointments, the intent was to ensure the presidential appointee -who would now carry out regulatory activity- would not undermine the independent position of the states.

The nucleus of corruption amid every element of the federal institutions of government is the United States Senate.   The U.S. Senate, also known as the “upper chamber,” is the single most powerful elected element in modern federal government.

The Intelligence Branch is the most powerful branch of government.  However, the U.S. Senate is the most powerful assembly of federally elected officials.  We pretend the IC branch doesn’t exist; that’s part of our problem.  At least we admit the Senate exists.

All other elected federal corruption is dependent on a corrupt and ineffective Senate.  If we correct the problems with the Senate and reconnect the representation within the chamber to the state-level legislative bodies, we will then see immediate change.  However, there would be ZERO institutional allies in this effort.

2024 Reminder – Why Tim Walz, Minneapolis, Democrats in 2024, Chicago and the Connection to The Clyburn Network

This article was originally published in 2023 and has recently been requested to provide context for why Governor Tim Walz was selected by Barack Obama and Eric Holder as their Brat’s vice-president.

Originally noted by the New York Post in ’23, “a brilliant new crowdfunded documentary, “The Fall of Minneapolis,” aimed to remedy our collective amnesia about the events of May 25, 2020 — a time when the country was already half-mad from the ravages of COVID-19 and forced lockdowns, and when Democratic Party operatives, including candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, seized on the “Defund the police” movement, in order to bring down President Donald Trump.”

The film is based on Liz Collin’s Amazon bestseller, “They’re Lying: The Media, The Left, and The Death of George Floyd,” which exposes the holes in the prevailing narrative surrounding George Floyd’s death, the trial of Derek Chauvin, and the fallout the city of Minneapolis has suffered ever since (more). Here is the full video documentary:

Kamala Harris Selects Minnesota Governor Tim “Let it Burn” Walz as Progressive VP Nominee Who Will Target White Midwesterners

…”Walz is a younger Bernie Sanders with a much more violent disposition behind that mask”…

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is most recently known for his support of the George Floyd riots and his decisions to keep law enforcement away from the rioting cities in order to give the BLM thugs space to loot and destroy.

Governor Walz is one of the key types of racially selected useful tools for the advancement of wokeism, racism and cultural Marxism.

Yep, Tim Walz is the progressive nose under the tent of the constitutional republic, and just like a slick southern preacher – he knows how to best ply his trade.  All things considered around Kamala ‘Brat’ Harris, Walz is a smart choice by Barack Obama.

(via Politico) – Kamala Harris will name Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, according to three people familiar with the decision granted anonymity because the announcement is not yet public.

By choosing Walz, Harris is elevating a Midwestern governor, veteran and former schoolteacher to help shore up support among blue-collar, white voters in the Rust Belt.

Walz, 60, led a progressive overhaul of Minnesota during his second term as governor, when Democrats took full control of state government in 2023 — a template for what Democrats hope to do nationally.

President Trump Does a Livestream Podcast with Adin Ross

Barron Trump likes to watch Adin Ross and the audience Ross creates with his podcast is very unique and young.  Old media is dead for the majority of young people and younger voters, instead it’s podcasting and live-stream content that catches their attention.

President Trump knows the value of connecting to the audience on their terms and their platforms.  This is a really cool interview that covers a lot of subjects.  There is a segment where President Trump plays the “one word” game with people Adin Ross puts on screen [44:00 mark]: it’s quite funny.

Fox News host Jesse Watters does a good job summarizing the event and encapsulating the largest takeaways from the briefing.

President Trump Announces New Policy Proposal – No Taxes on Social Security for Seniors

This is a very significant policy proposal.  President Trump is supporting a position that Seniors should not pay taxes on Social Security income.

[SOURCE]

This comes on the heels of President Trump supported policy that income received from service tips should not be taxed.

Combined, both of these policies would result in massive numbers of middle-class Americans having more money in their bank accounts.  The national economic benefits of these two combined policies are extremely significant and could actually offset the financial damage done by Joe Biden.

The timing of this announcement coincides with President Trump visiting Chicago.
