“...Barr should be talking about ...how criminals in the federal government will be prosecuted in order to save our institutions and restore the public faith in the rule of law.”

Yes - this statement is 100% correct. I have speculated that Barr made a deal - the deep state let him get rid of Mueller in return for no other prosecutions.

Think about it - it is a very logical conclusion; this is the reason he has done NOTHING to restore the rule of law and is another Sessions.

President Trump needs someone who is not deep state/entrenched D.C. swamp for AG and needs to fire Barr.

I know, it is impossible to get a real MAGA AG past the congressional approval process. Perhaps President Trump could get McConnell to allow a true recess? (I know, when pigs fly). Then he could appoint a real AG - Tom Fitton comes to mind!

Great article.

The feral, central government began leeching power from the states early on. I’m not sure if there is the will to turn this around.

“Voting for any Demonicrat candidate is equivalent to voting to destroy America.”

Somewhere around half of American voters wants to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to destroy America for electing Trump.

That’s what I have been surmising for months. The deal Barr made to end Mueller was no one goes to jail. After the election Trump can “retire” Barr with dignity and nominate Giuliani. Then the Rats will start scurrying for cover.

One of a multitude of effects of a bloated government that practices overreach in every aspect of American society...

we are long past time for this

doing that only led to things pausing until the next democrat was elected, at which time, things would “progress” again.

We’re already seeing forms of this happening as left-leaning states seek to protect immigrants....

And that is the problem with anti-federalism they don't want to take on issues where different states could have different approaches. In stead they take on an issue that is constitutionally a federal issue because what any one state does affects all of us.

In today’s America, a president holds the keys to the behemoth federal government....he controls more than the executive branch:
the power to regulate everything on God's good earth and taxation policies that onerously affect every man, woman and child in America.

Not to mention a president's access to the US treasury.......giving him the biggest personal piggy bank on the globe.

The Obama admin quickly took control. Obama placed his COS Rham Emanuel IN the US Treasury----an unusual double job.

"Mr President, you are now in complete control of the US Treasury."

==========================================

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move. When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

The problem, Bill, is that the Left is deranged and power-mad and thus they are never going to see your point of view.

If you really want this change to occur in our body politic you need to start LOCKING THEM UP so that reasonable men may move forward in a positive mode.

GOVERTNMENT FRAUD AT ITS FINEST---an unparralled get-rich-quick scheme.
Obama's giveaways of our tax dollars (those that we know of) were astounding.
A scheme to prime the Obama foundations pumps: giveaway tax dollars now--collect donations later:
<><> $150 billion to Muslim Iran in the nuclear deal...plus the latest handout
<><> $2 billion to help half-brother Malik advance his organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,
<><> $50 million to half-bro Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Muslim Kenya.
<><> Obama (and Hillary) showered the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt them w/ billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.
<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich Muslim African countries.
<><> then there's the missing billions attached to Obamacare.
<><> the missing $6 billion at Obama/Hillary's State Dept
<><> Obama gave Michelle $73 million tax dollars to teach Muslim girls in Qatar
<><> Obama gave Michelle $100 million tax dollars to teach Muslim girls in Morocco.

"Nice payback deal....I get half donated to my tax-exempt presidential foundation .
Another chunk goes to my presidential library's "Muslim Prayer Room."

Barr’s “Liberal Democracy” requires a populace willing to live with limited government. Sadly, America’s no longer is.

I don’t know why Barr separated the French Revolution from the Greeks. What he is calling “Totalitarian Democracy” is as old as governance.

The conflict between these two views comes from the use of “Democracy”. In this “Temporal City” we need “things” as part of our existence. What is called “Democracy”, implemented as a vote among people, becomes a vote between those who have “things” and those who do not. It is not difficult to see how such votes go.

The structure of the Republic which embodied America’s government was created in an understanding of this. To the extent that we have left this form, veering toward “Democracy”, we have left limited government.

It would take a sacrifice people are unwilling to make, to return.

“Barr’s “Liberal Democracy” requires a populace willing to live with limited government. Sadly, America’s no longer is.”

That, possibly more than anything, will be our undoing.

If the democrats win it all, I don’t see any choice for my state of Alabama but to secede again.

It won’t be a de facto secession, but a de jure one. The whole state becomes a sanctuary state.

Civil disobedience on a state-wide scale.
