Why?
Hasn’t anyone ever heard of a police state?
Only in the fevered minds of leftists could a middling sized city qualify for statehood.
The Biden Hunta
The Constitution orders the Federal District to be OUTSIDE of any state so that it will not be in effect governed by a state. This is easy to understand, even for a public that believes oprah and dr oz are the most reliable sources of truth.
Turning the Federal District into a state makes it subject to the government of a state. The United States is a federation of multiple states, as the name shows, making it easy to comprehend even for the Twitter generation.
Good luck getting 3/4ths of the States to ratify this. Ot is it 2/3rds? Good luck with that too.
Riots didn’t “sweep the nation’s capital.” There was an incursion into the capital building, but the capital is the entire federal district. The capital building is merely where Congress does business (piss-poorly does business, by the way).
We need term limits on all federal incumbents in order to get things back to normal.
Excellent analysis. really well done. Articles analyzing present day events in light of the Founders’ thinking/experiences are a dime a dozen these days but this one stands out for being right on point and very persuasive.
America Under Military Siege!
Occupied America, Troops in the Streets!
Day 46 of Bidens Military Takeover!!
That is what the headlines should be on FOX News All Day Every Day, and every other media outlet
No different than the Berlin Wall except in Pelosi’s version the machine guns will be pointing out.
The Capitol Police are 2,300 officers and civilians. They are responsible for 270 acres which is 85.18 officers per acre and they have a $460,000,000.00 budget.
Moreover, my guess is that the force is riven with persons not on the force by INDIVIDUAL MERIT or RESUME but by their various physical handicaps, their gender, their sex, race, their sexual dysphoria, their homosexuality, their nationality, are they trannies and on and on.
If I was worried about the building I worked in being attacked by pissed off Trumpsters, I would want the National Guard outside my window too.
The land that DC was created from belonged to Virginia and Maryland. The Virginia portion (Arlington and Alexandria) were ceded to the Federal Government in 1789 and became part of the District of Columbia. The county was returned to Virginia in 1846.
If they want to maintain a federal area with a smaller footprint, fine, but the remaining land should not be carved out from it’s original state, Maryland, and declared a new state. I believe it should be returned to Maryland as precedent would require.
What? Riots swept the capital? Washington was a ghost town all day. That is, except for 1.5 million or so Trump supporters ambling the 2 miles back and forth between the Washington Monument and the Capitol. Reports of some commotion at the Capitol didn't start until day's end. News videos of the Capitol and grounds from that time show a mass of people peacefully standing around talking, cheering, singing, and praying.
Any rioting must have been inside, in a very small space, among a very small group of people--by some pre-arrangement. If you watch the video threads, the rioting was visibly carried on, at least in part, by several men who are also seen on video taking part in Auntie-Fa and BLM riots over the summer.
What riots swept the capitol on January 6th????
