A lot of scare words but the bottom line is this. They adhere to the Constitution and believe the SCOTUS has the last word. Then everything else is just a manifestation of ‘states rights’.

Oh, DJT is leading the world. He’s just doing it differently. These NWO/globalists are just pissed at that.

There is no longer a “United” States of America. Our nation is too badly eroded and destroyed by years of corrupt governance and the treachery of the Marxist left

There exists a Republic, in spirit more than anything. The Trump base is loyal and patriotic but we are being opposed and vilified by the lying fake news media

“dismantles the democratic international order”?

What democratic international order, the last time I checked about 90 percent or more of the worlds people are ruled by murderous dictators or juntas.

The Left wing state governments are working to hobble their economies while the Capitalist oriented states are glorying in the freeing of theirs. Ultimately California and Washington et all will demand that the rest of the country must join them in their depravity or finance that depravity so that their Utopias don’t crumble away.

The States are expressly prohibited from engaging in Foreign Policy. Sorry, I don’t have time at the moment to provide the reference however I will look it up because it needs to be known apparently.

I agree with you.

Everyone seems to want to get in on the act these days too.

Obama keeps going abroad as if he sets our policies.

It’s time to warn these folks or take legal action against them for trying to conduct U. S. foreign policy.

“climate change” comes up in the first paragraph - no surprise.

here’s globalist Patrick in 2015:

4 Dec 2015: CFR: Stewart Patrick: Combating Climate Change Beyond Paris
The UN climate talks in Paris are just one part of the international climate policy regime, write Stewart Patrick, director of the Program on International Institutions and Global Governance, and Research Associate Naomi Egel. In this post, part of our ongoing guest series on the Paris summit, they note other institutions contributing to the climate policy process and highlight several climate policy options from CFR’s Global Governance Monitor...

More effective alternatives to the intergovernmental system include the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, a private-public partnership designed to curb short-lived pollutants and their associated health risks, and the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group (Michael Bloomberg)...

Climate change is also increasingly addressed by a host of other international organizations whose mandates have evolved to include this challenge. Within the UN system alone, some twenty agencies work on this issue through their own specific lens, including the United Nations Environment Program, the Global Environment Facility, and the United Nations Development Program. Additionally, the World Bank has incorporated financing for mitigation and adaptation projects into its activities: at present, 21 percent of the Bank’s funding is climate related, totaling $10.3 billion a year. And in October 2015, the Bank pledged to increase its climate financing to up to $29 billion annually by 2020.

and that’s not all of the entities listed in the article.

Hey, even our states are on board these programs.

The federal government shot it down, but California is on board. I’m sure there are many other states who are, and I’m not just talking about Democrat ones.

We have squishy folks on our side too.

Foreign Relations Law: An Overview. ... The states are not sovereign “states” under international law, since the Constitution does not vest them with a capacity to conduct foreign relations. They are specifically prohibited from entering into any treaty, alliance, or confederation (see Article 1, § 10).

Thank you. I appreciate the mention.

I really do need to study up more on the U. S. Constitution.

FEBRUARY 2020 : () ———BUSTED: Mike Pompeo Says He Has List of American Governors Named as ‘Friendly’ by Communist China (FLASHBACK 2/9/2020), pjmedia.com ^ | 2/9/2020 | MEGAN FOX , Posted on 3/24/2020, 11:05:52 AM by bitt
In a shocking speech in front of the National Governors Association, Secretary Mike Pompeo revealed that he is in possession of a list of American governors who have been listed as “friendly” by Chinese Communist infiltrators.
Pompeo said he received an invitation from a former governor to attend a networking event that promised great “deal-making” opportunities with the Chinese government. This networking event was run by “The Chinese People’s Association for Friendship in Foreign Countries,” said Pompeo. But what the participants might not have known is that “the group is the public face of the Chinese Communist party’s official foreign influence agency, the United Front Work Department.” Pompeo knew of this connection from his time at the CIA.
He questioned the governors on how many of them knew that this group was a communist front group. “What if you made a new friend while you were at that event?” he asked. “What if your new friend offered to invest big money in your state, perhaps in your pension, an industry sensitive to our national security?”
And then he dropped a huge bomb on the crowd. “These aren’t hypotheticals,” he continued. “Last year a Chinese government-backed think tank in Beijing produced a report that assessed all fifty of America’s governors on their attitudes toward China. They labeled each of you friendly, hardline, or ambiguous.” Pompeo continued, “I’ll let you decide where you think you belong, someone in China already has. Many of you, indeed, in that report, are referenced by name.”
