Another Reason a Secession Amendment Is Not Needed

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibitied by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively , or to the people. The 10th Amendment

The powers prohibited to the states are identified in Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution. Secession is not among them.

The power to prohibit secession is not listed among the powers delegated to the United States.

Secession is therefore a power reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

1. The Constitution delegates the power of determining the makeup of the Union to the Congress, not to individual states. Therefore a state cannot claim that the Union doesn't include that state.
2. The Constitution prohibits states from having the power of claiming the US Constitution, US Laws passed in pursuance of the Constitutions, and Treaties made in accordance with the Constitution no longer apply to them. Therefore a state cannot declare the US Constitution, US Laws, and US Treaties do not apply to it.

That doesn't amount to a prohibition of secession. Sorry. Those apply to states still in the union, not those that have seceded from it.

Why does Nathan Phillips' story about the Covington MAGA teens change from outlet to outlet? ~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a Hollywood producer who thinks that these boys need to be put head first into a wood chipper.
~~~~~~~~~~~
“Sandmann in the letter wrote that he was 'singled out' and approached by the Native American man, who has been identified as Nathan Phillips, an Omaha elder.” (An Omaha elder, AKA “Dances with Soros”) ~~~~~~~~~~~
Native American leftist activist making money off slandering good kids. He's claimed "harassment" before.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Name a successful corpor- ation that has 800,000 non-essential employees on the payroll.

If masculinity was toxic, as we are told by feminists and leftists, nobody would be safe. Ever. Because men are everywhere.

Brooks Simpson's Fraudulent "Reviews" of My Novels at Amazon

Update Oct 2016 -- Apparently Simpson is quietly removing Amazon evidence that ties him to these fraudulent reviews. He's even taken down two of the reviews themselves.

~Southern Man
~Sweet Southern Boys
~Storm Surge

Fake Simpson profiles that have appeared at Amazon:
~None of your business
~One Skeptical Observer
~True Confederate Patriot
~Not Connie's Sister

~Amazon's evidence that
these fake profiles are
Brooks Simpson

Simpson has even manage to review a novel I haven't written yet, on his blog. His comments tell us a lot more about him than they do about me and my book ... for example, he fantasizes about a slave-owner raping slaves.... He fantasizes that the slave Dorsey doesn't have a wife and children because he was "hired out for breeding purposes." Then he mentions someone getting lynched.

Now we see why he has such and interest in slavery and the civil war. To him, they are just sex and violence.

Notices, Updates & Quickies

More MAGA hat drama...Guy at the Other Forum sez, "The "nasty white boys" have already lawyered up. They'll soon be rich." Another guy sez, "Really? Whom will they sue? And on what grounds? Their school and the local diocese has already said they'll be investigated and disciplined." Various organs of the leftist media, Sherlock, that's who. The people who tried to damage them. The ones who lied about them to the whole flippin' country, who ran with stories that weren't true. I don't care whether they get rich, but it would please me to no end if the settlement involved making the lying media admit their lies, admit their motives, identify both clearly, and apologize to everyone they targeted.

Lunatic Leftists Doxed a Random Kid Thinking He Was in the Covington Video — Family Now Receiving Violent Threats This is why leftists are dangerous. I suspect the doxxers don't care whether this was the kid in the video or not. They just want to hurt the "right" people.
~~~~~~~~~~
The leftist mainstream media will not tell the truth about the MAGA hat boys. Just wait and see. They will persecute these boys mercilessly, and a professional Indian activist will make lotsa money from it.
~~~~~~~~~~
David G. at the Other Forum sez, "Again I wonder at the Catholic school 'adults'. Whose idea was it to turn the kids loose in a mob, at a location where the passionate/vocal/angry go to give voice to their issues? And wearing potentially inflammatory MAGA gear?" David, they weren't "turned loose in a mob. They went where they were told to wait for buses. Follow the link below to Nick Sandmann's statement, if you've got the guts for truth
~~~~~~~~~~
WILL THE HATERS AT THE OTHER FORUM ADMIT THEY WERE WRONG? What a stupid question. Of course not.
Statement by Nick Sandmann, the young man in what the the tolerant leftists at the Other Forum called the "nasty little white boys" video. He's an evil kid -- he's white, he's a Christian, he's a Catholic, he's male, and he wore a MAGA hat.
Actually, he sounds much smarter, more mature and tolerant than numerous people who post in that forum, particularly the guy who posted a photo of a kid holding an anti-integration sign from d-e-c-a-d-e-s ago, and conflated him with Nick.
Why do leftists hate so much? Some of them are not going to be happy until white Christian conserv- atives are concentration camped or mowed down with bullets and tanks.
~~~~~~~~~
Somebody at the Other Forum posted, "They were there in the first place to demand male control over a women's body, that a pretty low rung to start with." This was in reference to the slander aimed at some white boys for "harassing" a Native American (which they didn't do). They were students from a Catholic school there to participate in the March for Life. Only in what passes for the mind of a committed leftist is an appeal for the sanctity of life transmuted into "male control over women's bodies." As if there were no women participating in the March for Life.
~~~~~~~~~~
Another look at how the leftist mind deliberately skews and misconstrues:
Me: Yes, the destruction of my country, which I love, and have loved since I was old enough to concept- ualize nations, bothers me greatly.
Leftist Male: It sounds like you live in a constant state of worry and agitation. What a shame.
See how "bothers me greatly" becomes "constant state of worry and agitation"? I can't believe a reasonably intelligent and educated person could make such a mistake. I can only conclude it is intentional.
