1)
Several Democrat Politicians, lots of “experts on CNN, MSNBC, and others, have talked about how they want to get rid of the Electoral College.
2)
Yesterday, I heard three of them. One US Senator, one US Congressman and one News Anchor, claiming that if the Democrats can get control of the House and the Senate, they will vote to get rid of the Electoral College.
3)
Now, these people clearly fail to understand that the Electoral College is in the Constitution. A vote by the Congress cannot change the Constitution.
4)
To Get rid of the Electoral College, they would have to draft a new amendment to the Constitution, get it ratified by a 2/3rds majority of the State Legislatures, and then hold a vote in Congress where it would have to pass a 2/3rds majority of members of both houses.
5)
Now, think for a minute. Does any sane person believe that the State Legislators, or the members of Congress from smaller states, from the 45 states that would lose influence by disposing of the electoral college, would pass such an amendment?
6)
So, is it that those calling for such a change are ill-informed, or are they stupid?
Same problem with the appointment of Supreme Court Members.
7)
Yesterday I heard many “experts” saying that the Democrats could “pack the court” if Democrats can capture the Senate in November this year, and to quote Senator Schumer, “WHETHER OR NOT TRUMP WINS A SECOND TERM”
8)
PERHAPS SCHUMER SHOULD READ THE CONSTITUTION. The Democrats seem to forget that the Senate cannot nominate anyone to the Court. Only the President can do that according to the Constitution."

One thing is very clear. The accusation that a person or political party is a “Threat to Democracy” seems to be used everywhere,
1)
as if there is one Hollywood script read by and repeated all over the world by the “Left” and its allied media, though anyone can see that it is the “left”. That has advocated censorship, banning opposition media,
2)
and using the courts to make free and honest elections doubtful, in short what those who want to end democracy actually do.

The US Bill of Rights protects Free Speech FROM INTERFERENCE BY GOVERNMENT
IT DOES NOT PROTECT AGAINST LIABILITY FOR SPEECH THAT ENCOURAGES ILLEGAL ACTS.

There has now been 2 assassination attempts against a Presidential Candidate.
In an atmosphere in which the President of the United States, his VP, and the members of his party and the affiliated partisan media have painted a bullseye on the candidate,

calling him a danger to democracy, some going so far as to say he must be eliminated, including the President who said there is a Bullseye on the Republican candidate.

1)
“WHO ARE THESE HUMAN RIGHTS EXPERTS? Oh, yes, they are the same people who celebrated the appointments of countries such as Libya, Iran, and similar despotic regimes to the Human Rights Committees at the UN.
2)
The same “experts”, who seem to support Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah, who made excuses for the October 7 massacre by Hamas, and the same ones who tend to ignore persecution of dissent and mass jailing of Uighers in China,

September 17
On this day, we remember Benjamin Franklin's fsmous words:
"A republic, if you can keep it.”
--Benjamin Franklin's response to Elizabeth Willing Powel's question: "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
