Where are the J6 tapes?

Where is the new J6 committee with a rebuttal to the old J6 committee?

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

In stark contrast to the politically correct idea that a federal government shutdown would be a disaster, consider that the drafters of the Constitution had intended for the peacetime, constitutionally limited power federal government to effectively operate in “shutdown” mode 24/7 imo.

It fact, since one of the very few powers that the states have given to the feds to dictate an aspect of domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service, a common question that people would otherwise be asking when their mail arrives a few days late is if the federal government has been shut down.

• "Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"

• "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In other words, most post-17th Amendment (popular voting for federal senators) ratification federal domestic policy is now based on stolen state powers imo.

In fact, probably the main reason that the corrupt mainstream media questions the need for the electoral college is that getting rid of the electoral college will make it easier for the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments to control a puppet president who will unquestioningly sign into law all the unconstitutional taxing and spending bills that come from Congress.

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• “If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

• From the congressional record:

  ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

• Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)

• “Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

• Democrats Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)

So while Obama was criticized for spending much time on the golf course, the golf course can be considered symbolic of what the drafters of the Constitution had in mind for a peacetime president of constitutionally limited powers federal government.

In fact, after hopeful Trump 47 finishes draining the swamp, especially the judiciary, and words with state and federal Trump-supporting lawmakers to surrender state powers that the post-17A ratification feds have stolen from the states back to the states, then Trump can follow in Obama's golf cart tracks and finish his 2nd term on the golf course.

Trump needs to invite Congress for a few rounds of golf too.

The bottom line is that Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots need to get ready ASAP to support Trump campaign by primarying ALL state and federal, lawmakers and executives, except for MTG Gaetz (and others?), for the 2024 primaries.

After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.

Exclusive: Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘Dumbfounded’ GOP Colleagues Will Not Call for Biden’s Impeachment! (6.10.23)

Trump can endorse candidates from lists that patriots who respect the federal government's constitutionally limited powers provide for him, as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th Amendments (16&17A) after they win office.

Consider the repealing of 16&17A as part of reparations for taxpayer victims of the federal government for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses, evidenced by the excerpt from Gibbons v. Ogden and the writings of Justice Joseph Story shown again below.

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• “If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.

Patriots, let's not allow ourselves to be fooled for third time in 2024 by the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments.
