What is America....just a staging ground for world wide drug cartels?
“Every day is crazytown now. Its just getting crazier by the week. This country is out of control. Nobody at the wheel of the car.”
Make no mistake, the car is not out of control. It is being driven by a bunch of anti-American fanatics.
The correction may make it more accurate, at least in many cases.
Yep, our logistical excellence is being hijacked by drug-dealing demons.
To our demise.
Help us, Lord...
And even if there was a treaty of 1790 that would’ve been with Spain, not mexico, as it had not become independent. That treaty would also have been considered null and void upon Mexico’s independence. Nice try, fed-dumbasses.

Yes, that’s a bunch. Thanks for sharing.
They probably just wanted to bluff the Sheriff.
At the point we had carney speaking to the press thought was a carnival. At this point am reminded of a three ring circus only this circus has many more rings than three, so is completely impossible to see the entire show and every once in a while we see the ring master, obama or one of his other assorted spokespersons, speak to America and say, "Look over there ... squirrel."
The Treaty involved apparently pre-activity with the SPANISH who were on and owned the frontier of the Creeks- viz
“In February, 1784, Spain accepted the Creek Nation as a protectorate.271 In June of 1784 it appointed Alexander McGillivray Commissary of the Creek Nation, salary included.272 Throughout his presidency Washington not only had to deal with the Indian problem with the United States, but with involvement of Spain in Indian affairs as well.
One of the most important reasons why the Creek issue had to be settled had to do with the so-called Yazoo affair. During the formation of the new government, Georgia had sold an immense amount of Indian land to three companies, referred to as Yazoo because of their location along the Yazoo River. The companies made no effort to control the land, they instead appointed the Irishman Dr. James O’Fallon to deal directly with the Indians, and he promptly offered to establish an independent “buffer” nation to Spain. This land, claimed both by Georgia and Spain, was to cause a great measure of trouble for Washington.273 “

The first step in dealing with the corrupt feds is the following. Challenge what clause in the Constitution's Section 8 of Article I gives the feds the power to do what they are trying to do. And whatever the federal government answers, the next step is to heed the following.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
More specifically, using immigration as an example, since the word "immigration" is not in the Constitution, the Founding States had made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the Constitution's silence about things like immigration means that government power to regulate, tax and spend immigration is reserved uniquely to the states, not to the federal government.
In fact, for those people who would argue that federal government power to regulate immigration is reasonably implied by the Constitution's uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause, Clause 4 of Section 8 of Article I, please consider the following. Thomas Jefferson had written, in terms of the 10th Amendment nonetheless, that the states had never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to address immigration issues.
“4. _Resolved_, That alien friends are under the jurisdiction and protection of the laws of the State wherein they are: that no power over them has been delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the individual States, distinct from their power over citizens. And it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that “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 act of the Congress of the United States, passed on the — day of July, 1798, intituled “An Act concerning aliens,” which assumes powers over alien friends, not delegated by the Constitution, is not law, but is altogether void, and of no force [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson, Draft of the Kentucky Resolutions - October 1798.
And for those DC "leaders" who would argue that since the Constitution doesn't say that they can't do something, regulate immigration in this case, that it means that the feds can do it, the Supreme Court has clarified the foolishness of that argument. The Court has indicated that power not delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, are prohibited to the federal government.
”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.
And the monetary importance of the states not delegating to the feds the specific power to regulate immigration is the following. Justice John Marshall had officially clarified that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues.
“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.
So if Sheriff Jones had been taught that the federal government has no constitutional authority to tax and spend for immigration purposes then he'd probably be working with cash-strapped local and state leaders to put a stop to the federal government's constitutionally indefensible taxation for that purpose. (Note that it would be much easier for state lawmakers to work with Congress to put a stop to such illegal federal taxes if state lawmakers hadn't foolishly ratified the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.)
What a mess! :^(
As a side note concerning the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, please consider the following. The states would sure be a dull, boring place to grow up and live in if parents were to make sure that their children were taught about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood. /sarc
Thomas Jefferson had put it this way:
“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. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
In fact, forget about traditional salesman / sucker cliches like "buying the Brooklyn Bridge." Voters now have to deal with the problem that they have foolishly traded their votes for constitutionally nonexistent rights and federal spending programs based on constitutionally nonexistant federal government powers.
Again, what a mess!
Thanks. I had noticed that treaty and will probably have to do some more scratching.
Then we would have an A#1 litmus test for all congress critters come November.
Mexican-American War of 1846 (140 yrs later) voided such nonsense.

The 2014-2018 FEMA Strategic Plan reflects objectives the Agency will accomplish to provide the best possible support to the American people before, during, and after disasters. It sets forth the strategies FEMA will employ to accomplish the objectives and also establishes measurable outcomes to achieve. This Strategic Plan was developed through the involvement of hundreds of FEMA employees and many external stakeholders who contributed to generating our objectives, strategies, and outcomes, and who are now working to execute this Plan. FEMA is just one part of the Nation’s emergency management team. The Agency will be successful only by building, sustaining, and drawing upon the capabilities of the whole community. The support and engagement of partners throughout Federal, state, and local governments; tribal governments; the private sector; faith-based and non-profit communities; and citizens across our country will ensure our collective success in bringing about the outcomes set forth in this Plan.
I'm planning to round up a posse and then contact FEMA. Let them know we're the good guys.
He will pay in pesos.
Just all part of the OBASTARDS master plan to totally F#CK AMERICA.
Maybe these Sheriffs should start training and deputizing Citizens to help.
Posses are as old as the Country. Maybe its time to start bringing them back.
