Wake up!!!

As we settle into the nighttime of despair, fret not, for the Sun will rise again!!
Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
The House of Representatives yesterday voted for legislation that would require anyone who makes more than $5 million per year to pay taxes earlier than April 15.
Why is this? There is a need to pay for a $2.5 million dollar exercise by the Communists to violate the following provisions of the Constitution:
1. The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States
2. and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature
3. No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen
4. Representatives ... shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers [aka one man one vote]
5. The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof
The proximate cause to which the Communists have attached the ripping up of these five sections (which includes one from their allegedly sacred 14th Amendment) deals with the granting of the District of Columbia full representation within the House of Representatives. This was accomplished by throwing Utah a sop of an additional represenative (which caused the current Utah Republican to vote "yay" for the measure).
Neither is Consitutional. The District of Columbia is not a state. This is clear from the same Constitution: "To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States..."
From this it is clear the District is not a state. The land comprising it had to be ceded to Congress as the black letter wording so indicates. The territory explicitly left states. The territory had to be accepted by Congress before it could become the seat of Government. Obviously this was done--the seat of Government was established, therefore a cession from states to the Federal Government must have occurred. Since that must have occurred, the District is, ipso facto, NOT a state.
If it is not a state, then it is clearly not entitled to the prerogatives of the several states, it is not entitled to a Representative, not for the least of which that there are not qualified (from a Constitutional point of view, though it could be argued this is also true in other regards...) electors insofar the there is clearly no state legislature. Even the city acknowledges this--it is called a "CITY council".
There's also the status of Eleanor Holmes Norton. She is not an inhabitant of a state, she lives in the District. So how is it now possible that she can meet the Constitutional requirement of being an inhabitant of a state?
Then the question of apportionment. This again is reserved to states, which has already been established for the District it is not. Then there's Utah--nice sop to the Republicans, and a Republican fell for it, for shame. Utah would now be DISPROPORTIONALLY represented. It cannot get another Representative, because the apportionment called for by Article I Section 2 does not support it. This again should be evident on its face, but since the Communists don't see it, they will be enlightened. If Utah deserved another Representative as a result of apportionment, they would already have that Representative.
The Act is clearly unconstitutional, and Republicans in the Senate have a duty to prevent the Communists from adding to their numbers through extra-constitutional means.
The White House staff has signalled the President will veto it if it ever makes it to his desk. Let's hope so--otherwise our federated constitutional representative republic is in jeopardy.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Hope you are able to get a good night's sleep tonight.
Really off.
I won't be asking for water...LOL
Good Night Sweetie. I hope you get some Quality Rest.
Wake up!!!
Lots of yard work to do later today. I am behind because of all of the cold weather we have had. Usually by this time I have all of my beds ready to go...not so this year.
We have a dumpster parked at the end of our dead-end street because tomorrow we are getting some dead trees cut down and the shed torn down. I LOVE dumpsters! (Something that marks me as a granny, for sure.) There is something great about being able to toss away anything you want into it without worrying about bagging, limits on containers, limits on size, etc.
When it was delivered yesterday, I told the driver I never thought when I was 25 I would get excited about a dumpster. He told me when he was in high school he never thought he would drive a trash truck and love the job (and the pay...he makes $60,000 a year...lol)!
I am very good at learning things from people, including their salaries. I should go to work for the CIA...except that I am afraid I wouldn't get along with all of the Clintonistas.
How is Sadie doing?
Good morning!
Love the dog picture. It made me smile.
What a coincidence! I’ve thought that I ought to become CIA. No one would ever suspect me.
>>Good morning! Great picture, Dog!
Hmmmm
Good morning. Cuteness. I want them....wait..no I don’t. :-)
Don't be jealous. Here...
Morning
A few more hours and our dear Kay will be laid to rest.
I get it at PetSmart and thought it was 'safe'. The bag I am using now evidently is safe, but looks like I, too, lysie will be cooking up my dogs' food now.
I saw an want ad in the local Gannet rag the other day, MM and Jemian, for a detective agency....briefly had the thought that little ole ladies might be the very kind of candidates the agency needed...We have lifetime experience in that field already. LOL
I've been reading here at ATRW about a lot of folks on different kinds of diets.....so far as I know, however, I haven't read of anyone getting a "hot body" from using Nutri-System. HAHA
A want ad....(slapping my own hand now.)
>>Don’t be jealous.
Not jealous......
This is getting serious.
Few words I can say and yet, I can’t say enough.
What breakfast are you cooking for the Mrs. or she/you?
Here is a simple recipe for dog food that my dogs love.
Cooked rice
a can of sardines
leftover veggies from the table.
This give a balanced diet. My dogs love it.
My body does get hot every now and then and I’m on a diet.
But I really think it is caused by either malaria or menopause. Sometimes its hard to tell the difference.
I just checked at menufoods.com......it’s several specific types of dry dog food....not the kind I have, which is Yorkshire #28. Whew.
I hope it hasn't hit dry..yet.
