Men fight for the good so they don’t have to fight against the evil.
Or as GOD says:
Proverbs 14: 34 (NIV)
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.”
Mathew 15: 17-20 (NIV)
[Jesus asked them.] ‘Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder [abortion], adultery, sexual immorality [homosexual behavior], theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”

Everyone of these Republicans In Name Only should be primaried and defeated by an actual constitutional conservative who has not capitulated to the radical homosexual lobby in this nation. These 24 RINOs by voting to affirm the delusional fantasies of transsexuals are helping to destroy the military and are, in my opinion, putting both delusional transsexuals and all other military personnel in danger on the battle field during combat.

https://illinoisfamily.org/politics/unsustainable-raising-taxes-solves-nothing-makes-illinois-worse-off/
“The Illinois State House was back in session this afternoon to override Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of a 32 percent permanent tax hike on Illinois families (SB 9). This tax grab also raises the corporate income tax rate by 33 percent. As anticipated, the House voted to override the veto this afternoon by a vote of 71-42 [71 being the minimum number of votes to override.]—with 61 Democrats and 10 Republicans voting in favor of increasing our taxes [By raising the tax rate by 32%. Plus, no doubt, increasing the cost of goods and/or increasing unemployment by raising corporate income tax rates by 33 1/3rd percent.].

Much has been written for many years now about how Illinois is being mismanaged. The votes to override common sense is only the latest chapter in that mismanagement.”

One month after the 45th year of the illegal, unconstitutional Roe vs. Wade decision, 84,932 babies within the womb have been murdered because of federal government sanctioned evil based upon one million murders of babies within the womb per year. And the AMERICAN HOLOCAUST continues day after day. What has Congress done to stop the unconstitutional murder of our own children? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Congress can not even defund Planned Murderhood. Establishment Republicans continually CAPITULATE to the Leftist MURDERERS.

Petition: http://nationalprolifealliance.com/lacAM_petition.aspx?pid=0219&npla=EH17
Abolishing the murder of babies within the womb by Congressional law will actually be faster and more effective than waiting on the court. Right now there are five justices on the court who support the murder of babies within the womb. The four radical Leftist justices appointed by Democrat Presidents and Justice Kennedy. Therefore, to even have a chance of the court reversing, we need one more Constitutional Justice and the one appointed has to replace one of the five pro-murdering babies within the womb justices. Even then, it would take a couple of years, at least, to get the case through the court system.
Passing a law of Congress is the best way of ending the terror of our American holocaust. The best way to abolish the murder of babies within the womb. The best way to stop any State from passing a law allowing the murder of babies within the womb. And it is also best constitutionally.
Life for all persons within the United States including babies within the womb is guaranteed and protected by the Declaration of Independence, Amendment V of the United States Constitution, and Amendment XIV of the United States Constitution. No court, no government body, no individual can constitutionally sanction the murder of babies within the womb. All such decisions, laws, and regulations are patently unconstitutional and illegal and should be immediately abolished by Congress by law!
Statistically, everyday of delay over 2,700 babies are murdered in the womb through abortion using 1 million abortions a year as a baseline. It is past time to attack the evil of murdering babies within the womb on every front with every legal weapon we can use until the murder of babies within the womb is abolished completely throughout the United States and its territories. Murder of babies within the womb is a horrendous evil that needs to and must be terminated.

Petition to defund the United Nations:
http://madisonproject.grassrootsaction.us/defund-the-united-nations-h/
The UN is a completely failed organization. It needs to be defunded.
¨ For its attacks on the sovereign State of Israel,
¨ For its promotion of and support for murdering babies within the womb and the radical homosexual agenda.
¨ For supporting and promoting the scientific nonsense of man-made global warming,
¨ And for its call for one world government in direct violation of the sovereignty of the United States of America.
¨ Then, the US needs to get out of the UN and get the UN out of the US.
I have been asking these questions for a good while. The correct answers are given below.
A brief quiz on the Constitution:
1) What Article, Section, Paragraph within the United States Constitution gives the federal courts the power to interpret the Constitution of the United States?
There is no provision within the Constitution that gives the federal courts the power to interpret the Constitution of the United States.
2) What are the constitutional qualifications for individuals appointed to the federal courts?
Appointed by the President and approved by the Senate by a simple majority vote. There are no other specific qualifications. They do not have to be lawyers. Technically, there is not even a citizenship requirement.
3) What is the constitutional term of office for individuals appointed to the federal courts?
Good behavior. As stated in this post: https://votevance2016.blogspot.com/2017/09/constitution-day-federal-courts.html there is no “life time” appointment. The correct answer is good behavior.
Restore the Constitution
Take Back the Nation
I am a Christian, Constitutionalist, conservative
Isaiah 1: 1-31 (NIV)
The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem [Applicable to the United States today, in my opinion. GOD is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. HE is righteous, just, and true yesterday, today, and tomorrow!] that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth! For the Lord has spoken: ‘I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me [The United States has and is rebelling against GOD!]. The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, but Israel [the United States] does not know, my people [the United States] do not understand.’
Woe to the sinful nation [the United States], a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the Lord [the United States]; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel [the United States] and turned their backs on him [the United States] .
Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness—only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with olive oil.
Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers. Daughter Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a city under siege. Unless the Lord Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom [destroyed by GOD because of homosexual sin!], we would have been like Gomorrah [destroyed by GOD because of homosexual sin!].
[Read Genesis 18 and 19 for the Biblical account. Genesis 19: 23-29 (NIV)]
“By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he [GOD] overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities [A righteous act by a righteous GOD WHO destroyed evil people who refused to repent from their evil. And yes, I believe the account and so did JESUS the SON of GOD. HE referenced Sodom and/or Gomorrah several times. Matthew 10: 15 (NIV) “Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.”]—and also the vegetation in the land. But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he [GOD] brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.”
This is also why homosexual radicals attack Christians who speak out against homosexual behavior. Christians who know the Bible know that homosexual behavior is sin punishable by spiritual death. There is NO “right” to homosexual behavior and people are NOT born homosexual. Homosexual behavior is learned behavior. Therefore, people do not have to be involved in the behavior and people can repent and STOP being involved in the behavior!]
Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom [the United States]; listen to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah [the United States]! ‘The multitude of your sacrifices—what are they to me?’ says the Lord. ‘I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts? Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations—I cannot bear your worthless assemblies. Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals I hate with all my being. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you [the present or the future for the United States?]; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening [the present or the future for the United States?].
Your hands are full of blood [the present for the United States as we as a nation MURDER over a million babies a year through government sanctioned abortions!]!
Wash and make yourselves clean [Will we?]. Take your evil deeds out of my sight [Will we?]; stop doing wrong [Will we?]. Learn to do right [Will we?]; seek justice [Will we?]. Defend the oppressed [Will we? Who are more oppressed than murdered babies?]. Take up the cause of the fatherless [Will we? GOD’S family structure not man’s]; plead the case of the widow [Will we? GOD’S family structure not man’s].’
‘Come now, let us settle the matter,’ says the Lord. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient [Stop rebelling], you will eat the good things of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.’ For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
See how the faithful city has become a prostitute! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her—but now murderers! Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water. Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow’s case does not come before them.
Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: ‘Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes and avenge myself on my enemies. I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities. I will restore your leaders as in days of old, your rulers as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.’
Zion will be delivered with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness. But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the Lord will perish. ‘You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen. You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water. The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire.’”

“Planned Parenthood [Planned Murderhood] says it needs hundreds of millions in taxpayer funding to help pregnant women. Yet when moms need prenatal care, ultrasounds, and adoption services, Planned Parenthood [Planned Murderhood] turns them away and tells them to ‘Google it.’ How is the abortion [murder of babies within the womb] giant using our tax dollars [Over half a billion dollars of federal money in the last fiscal year and funded by a Republican Congress through the 2016-2017 fiscal year that ended September 30, 2017.]?”

Boycott Target UPDATE:
The purpose of the Target boycott is to help Target change its current policy of allowing men into the facilities of women and allowing women into the facilities of men by hurting its bottom line. A classic “follow the money” approach. Is it working? Your decision:

She is not. The incumbent is retiring at the end of his term. This is an open seat runoff election. The runoff election is May 22, 2018.

“Pro-Abortion [Murder of babies within the womb] Justice Anthony Kennedy Will Reportedly Retire This Summer, Replacement Could Overturn Roe [Roe vs. Wade ~ the court case that sanctioned the murder of babies within the womb.]
Steven Ertelt | March 9, 2018
“Christmas may have come early for the pro-life movement.
Since 1973, pro-life people have been yearning for the day that a majority pro-life Supreme Court would overturn Roe v. Wade. Although the high court has been closely divided over the years it has always stayed at least one vote on the pro-abortion [murder of babies within the womb] side.
Justice Anthony Kennedy is one of those votes in favor of keeping Roe vs. Wade in place and its allowance for virtually unlimited abortions [murders of babies within the womb. Anthony Kennedy was appointed by Republican President Ronald Reagan. Five of the seven judges who originally sanctioned the murder of babies within the womb were appointed by Republican Presidents.] nationwide. But the latest news today indicates he may possibly be retiring this summer [At this point, it is a rumor. It has not been verified.]—opening the door for another justice who respects the value of human life or at least the rule of law without using the Supreme Court to invent a fictitious right to abortion [murder of babies within the womb].
According to the latest news reports, one Republican senator says he has it on good authority that Justice Kennedy will retire this summer. Since Kennedy was appointed by a Republican he likely wants a Republican to appoint his replacement [He certainly didn’t uphold conservative Republican values while on the court. He often sided with the Leftists on the court including the murder of babies within the womb and sanctioning homosexual behavior as an unconstitutionally protected behavior contrary to the entire history of the country from the colonial period to the early 2000’s. He has a whole LOT of repenting that he needs to do.]—and with President Donald Trump in office, that would make that possible [Unless?].
Although Kennedy was expected [Expected by whom? He has been on the court longer than any of the other Republicans members of the current court. In fact, he has been on the court longer than all of the other eight members of the court.] to be like the other Republican-appointed members of the Supreme Court [He was. He was like the five Republican members of the court who sanctioned the unconstitutional murder of babies within the womb. Being appointed by a Republican President does not necessarily mean that court appointee will follow the Constitution and protect innocent citizens within the womb.], he has wandered away from the pro-life position on abortion [murder of babies within the womb] and confirmed Roe vs. Wade [Or, he was never a pro-life appointee and didn’t have to wander away. How many babies could he have saved IF he was the fifth pro-life vote? GOD knows. We do not.].
Generally, he has sided with the pro-abortion [murder of babies within the womb] justices on abortion [murder of babies within the womb] cases, as he did last summer when the court struck down a Texas abortion clinic regulations law. However, he has sided with pro-life justices on a few occasions, including his decision to uphold the partial-birth abortion ban in 2007. [A pick and choose judge who often chooses incorrectly and unconstitutionally.]
Here’s the latest on the possible retirement:
‘Audio of Nevada’s Dean Heller [Republican Senator who is up for reelection this year and has at least one challenger in the primary. Conservative Review Scorecard of 58% F. There is only one other Republican in Congress from Nevada and his scorecard is even lower.] speaking at a recent event in Las Vegas obtained by POLITICO showed his view that the departure of the justice would be a boost for his reelection campaign this fall.
‘Kennedy is going to retire around sometime early summer,’ Heller [sic], who is viewed as vulnerable in November after Hillary Clinton won Nevada in 2016 [Nevada is moving blue. Could it be because of the flood of Leftists fleeing from California?].
The justice was appointed by conservative Ronald Reagan after the failed nomination of Robert Bork [Anthony Kennedy was actually the third appointee. He was not considered conservative and did not have a single Leftist vote against his nomination.], but his judicial philosophy has placed him in the middle of the court on many important issues and given him an incredibly powerful position in the political life of the country [Only because the federal courts have been usurping their authority for decades and Congress has not held the judges accountable.].

At 81 years old, he is the second oldest of the Supreme Court justices, who serve for life [NO, they do not. Their term of office is “during good Behaviour” Article III, Section 1.], after liberal [Leftist] Bill Clinton choice [appointed] Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The makeup of the Court did not shift dramatically after the last change in justices, when Barack Obama’s pick of Merrick Garland was delayed until after the 2016 election by Republicans [Senators and they had to temporarily revoke the filibuster rule to approve Neil Gorsuch.] who voted in Neil Gorsuch.’
Trump promised to nominate “pro-life” justices to the high court, and Kennedy’s retirement could mean a pro-life justice would fill his spot and swing the court toward life-affirming decisions [The key word is “could.” When Roe was decided 6 of the 9 judges were appointed by Republican Presidents and 5 of them voted to sanction the murder of babies within the womb. It would be far better if Congress would abolish the murder of babies within the womb by law. We should not rely on the courts to right their own wrong. They have had over 45 years to do just that and have not.].
Abortion [murder of babies within the womb] advocates understand the monumental consequences of what is at stake. People for the American Way, described Kennedy’s possible retirement under Trump as a ‘disaster for the rights [There is no constitutional right for a mother to murder her own baby within the womb or outside of the womb. If she had the right to murder her own baby within the womb why would she not have the same right outside of the womb? The womb is meant to PROTECT the baby as the baby develops. It was not meant to be and is not a slaughterhouse.] of all Americans [Leftist liars.].’
Several other liberal [Leftist] justices on the high court also are getting older [All of the members of all of the federal courts are getting older just as we all are getting older. That’s what we do from the moment of conception.]. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 84, and Justice Stephen Breyer is 78. Both are strongly pro-abortion [murder of babies within the womb], but there are no rumors of their retirement right now [Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently said that she intends to stay on the court until she dies. Personally, I’m all for impeachment and conviction to get her off of the court. There are ample grounds for impeachment and conviction for all four of the Leftists on the court.].
https://www.conservativereview.com/articles/footnotes-political-discourse-erasing-god-supreme-vacancy/
The age of each justice [on the Supreme Court] currently [And the President who appointed each.]:
1) Chief Justice John Roberts — 63 [George W. Bush]
2) Anthony Kennedy — 81 [Reagan]
3) Clarence Thomas — 69 [George H. W. Bush]
4) Ruth Bader Ginsburg — 84 [Clinton]
5) Stephen Breyer — 79 [Clinton]
6) Samuel Alito — 67 [George W. Bush]
7) Sonia Sotomayor — 63 [Obama]
8) Elena Kagan — 57 [Obama]
9) Neil Gorsuch — 50 [Trump]
Capitulation Republicans which includes Republican “leadership” in both the House of Representatives and the Senate are part of the problem. Leadership is in quotes because they don’t lead. They are pulled by the Left to the agenda of the Left and they seem to gladly follow obediently like sheep to the slaughter.

Mark 7: 17-23 (NIV)
“After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. ‘Are you so dull?’ he asked. ‘Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.’ (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)
He went on: ‘What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.’”
The choice for Illinois Governor in the Republican Primary Election is clear. A conservative Republican who is pro-life and votes against the radical agenda of the Left including making Illinois a sanctuary State for illegal aliens. Or, a Leftist Republican In Name Only who is supported by Planned Murderhood and signed into law a radical law that allows delusional males and females to fraudulently change their birth certificates which are legal documents.

It seems that it was not only the Obama Administration that manipulated the amount of the National Debt. The day that Congress approved a new budget and increased the debt ceiling the National Debt was $20,494,637,976,880.62. The next day the National Debt increased to $20,669,079,408,408.12. An increase of almost 175 billion dollars in one day.

Decisions have consequences.
GOD knows the EVIL we as a nation have done and the EVIL we continue to condone. It is past time to REPENT. It is past time to ABOLISH the murder of babies within the womb. Forty-five years of murdering babies within the womb is forty-five years too long. We will ALL be held accountable for our actions and for our inactions.
Galatians 6: 7-8 (NIV)
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”
James 4: 17 (NIV)
“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”
Revelation 9: 20-21 (NIV)
“The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.”

We need many more conservatives in the Senate to abolish the sinful EVIL that is the murder of babies within the womb. That is why I will be concentrating on Senate elections in 2018 although also dealing with some important House races. We need to end the abomination that is the murder of babies within the womb. Every day is a day too late.
It is past time to hold federal judges accountable. Impeachment is a method provided within the Constitution to hold federal judges accountable. We need to elect Congressional candidates who are willing to expose the misdeeds of judges and are willing to hold them accountable through impeachment and conviction, if necessary.
John 3: 20 (NIV)
“Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.”
Ephesians 5: 11 (NIV)
“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”
Proverbs 26: 26 (NIV)
“Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.”
We need to replace as many Establishment Republicans will conservatives as we can. We all know Mitch McConnell and his crew are going to support the Establishment Republican over a conservative. They have time after time. We last saw it in Alabama where Establishment Republicans including Mitt Romney actually helped the Leftist win the special election.
This election year, I will concentrate on federal Senate elections, selected federal House elections, and certain gubernatorial elections. Illinois will be one of those gubernatorial elections. The Illinois primary is currently underway. In the primaries, I will concentrate on the Republican candidates most often.
We need to rededicate ourselves to abolishing the murder of babies within the womb this coming year. The sooner the murder of babies within the womb is abolished, the more innocent lives that will be saved. Pray and then get actively involved in the solution. If we are not part of the solution, we are part of the problem. Words have consequences. Actions have consequences. Inaction has consequences.
Ephesians 6: 10-17 (NIV)
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
1) belt of truth.
2) breastplate of righteousness.
3) feet fitted gospel of peace.
4) shield of faith.
5) helmet of salvation.
6) sword of the Spirit. [Our weapon is the HOLY SPIRIT. Is there a more powerful weapon, if used righteously?]

“Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!
[Refrain]
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.”
At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
[Refrain]
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.”
Matthew 5: 10-12 (NIV)
“‘Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.’”

“QUOTE OF THE WEEK // Hans Fiene on anti-Christian Twitter mobs: ‘Twitter: We hate Joel Osteen for not following the Bible. Also Twitter: We hate the Nashville Statement for following the Bible.’”
Supposedly, Joel Osteen said his church would not be available during the current Houston flooding challenge. The Nashville Statement confirms the long standing Christian acknowledgment that homosexual behavior is sinful behavior.
The Left hates anyone and anything that disagrees with them and their agenda.

George Neumayr | August 18, 2017”
“One wonders what entitles this generation to speak so confidently about past evils given its inability to recognize present ones. Modern America is awash in the blood of millions of aborted [murdered] children—a monstrous evil we’re told is as central to the modern lifestyle as slavery was to the ancient one [Make no mistake about it. Murdering one’s own children is far more evil than slavery. And yes, slavery is evil.]”
The best, most constitutional way to accomplish abolishing abortion is to do the following:
1) Congress by law affirms that human life begins at conception/fertilization.
http://nationalprolifealliance.com/rlacaa_petition.aspx?npla=EH17&pid=0820c
2) Congress by law affirms that human life is protected by both Amendments Five and Fourteen from the beginning of life at conception to the end of life through natural causes.
3) Congress by law affirms that the taking of a human life within the womb is a criminal offense and establishes the legal parameters for prosecuting and punishing all such criminal offenses. Congress by law affirms that any local official and/or State official who tries to hinder and/or does not apply these laws properly has committed a criminal offense. Congress by law establishes the legal parameters for prosecuting and punishing all such criminal offenses.
4) Congress by law affirms that any and all previous court case rulings in contradiction to these specific laws passed by Congress are null and void.
5) Congress by law removes the courts from any ability to alter and/or invalidate any provisions of these specific laws passed by Congress.
Rules of Life:
1) Actions have consequences and may have a lasting impact on the rest of your life.
2) There is no reset, undo, or edit button in life.
3) You are the ONLY person responsible for your actions.
4) You are free to choose whatever action you want to take, but you are NOT free from the consequences of that action.
5) Doing nothing is an action.
Or, as GOD said in James 4: 17 (NIV)
“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”
Matthew 12: 35-37 (NIV)
“‘A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned [We are all held accountable by GOD.].’”
