A New Constitution Needed

 

I am a 77-year-old Caucasian male who thinks slavery in the USA was wrong but who REFUSES to be held responsible for what my ANCESTORS may or may not have done.


Slavery like our attack on Native Americans WAS WRONG and might have been done differently had we the ability to do it all over again, but we do not have that ability; therefore, we MUST see it as water over the dam and move forward.


We study HISTORY so that we can prevent the bad aspects of our history from every being repeated again.


With that said, I am concerned that our 1776 US Constitution no longer is reflective of what the USA has become over time.  I say become over time because the change has taken over 200 years to occur.


THE USA IS NO LONGER:

  • Religious
  • Marketplace equal
  • Uneducated
  • Caucasian influenced
  • law abiding
  • intellectually superior
  • wanting to be self sufficient
  • militarily minded
  • Interested in being a Democratic Republic
  • Serving constituents
  • Loyal to the government
  • Composed of strong family units


It is painfully obvious that the US Constitution written in 1776 pertained primarily Caucasians and specifically to White Anglo Saxon Protestants (WASPS).  The culture and society of the USA has been diluted with immigrants from all over the world.  


Some of whom have come here to study at our universities, some of whom have come here to work, and some of whom have come here to become US citizens.


What we believed and were motivated by in 1776, no longer exists in 2024.  Our 1776 Constitution says... all men were created equal with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...


In POINT OF FACT - all men ARE NOT created equal and never were.  Being created equal is MISINFORMATION...

  • Some are tall - some short
  • Some are smart - some are not smart
  • Some are beautiful - some are not beautiful
  • Some of athletic - some are not athletic
  • Some are creative - some are not creative

SO...

How can we be created equal?


A NEW US CONTITUTION IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO REFLECT THESE CHANGES

A Laser Communications Link Billions of Kilometers Away


The recent success of NASA’s laser communication test represents a paradigm shift in space technology. Traditionally, space missions have relied on radio frequencies for communication. However, laser-based systems offer a data transmission capacity up to 100 times greater than conventional methods.


This advancement is not just about speed; it’s about expanding our capabilities in space exploration. With improved data transfer rates, future missions could:
  • Send high-resolution images and videos back to Earth more quickly
  • Enable real-time communication with spacecraft and rovers
  • Facilitate more complex scientific experiments in deep space
  • Support potential human missions to Mars and beyond


The implications of this breakthrough are far-reaching, potentially transforming our understanding of the cosmos. Just as the Hubble Space Telescope captured breathtaking views of distant galaxies, future space telescopes equipped with laser communication could transmit even more detailed observations, expanding our knowledge of the universe.        READ MORE...

Democrat's SALVATION

 

Simple Decision Really

 


I am a very simple person...

It was a SIMPLE DECISION...

Am I better off today than I was four years ago?

NO...

Do I think more of the same will make me better off for the next four years?

NO...


THEREFORE,

The only choice that is left for me to make was to vote for Donald Trump...


What I thought of Donald Trump WAS IRRELEVENT...


WHAT I BELIEVE IN:

  • small government
  • low taxes
  • strong military
  • low inflation
  • growing economy
  • balanced budget
  • low national debt

What I am AGAINST:
  1. A weaponized legal system
  2. illegal immigration
  3. crime and violence
  4. social programs we cannot afford
  5. Trans in female sports
  6. Trans in the military
  7. Trans conversion of children
  8. Claims of white supremacy
  9. Govt telling me what to do
  10. Forced to buy EVs
  11. Misinformation/Disinformation

US NIGHTMARE


Ding Dong the Wicked Witch is DEAD

 


On November 5, 2024, the American people spoke:

KILL THE WICKED WITCH...


The wicked witch symbolizes the Democratic, Liberal Party...

The American people were tired of:

  • higher prices
  • loss of employment
  • weaponizing the legal system
  • forced to buy EVs
  • illegal immigration
  • crime and violence
  • defunding the police
  • looking down on uneducated people
  • trans in female sports
  • CRT in public school
  • claims of white supremacy

The ladies of THE VIEW have made the claim after the election that those who voted for Trump should do some INTROSPECTION to discover why they voted for that man...

<<<WINNERS DON"T NEED INTROSPECTION>>>

Those who LOSE, need to introspect as to why they LOST...


The MELTDOWN that the Liberal Democrats are experiencing is SIMPLE - they have no idea what a majority of Americans are feeling and/or experiencing.

These Liberal ELITIST thought they knew what was best for the American people and the American people rejected their elitist philosophies.

TRUMP IS NOT:
  • a racist
  • a tyrant
  • a dictator
  • like Hitler

TRUMP POLOCIES WILL NOT:
Destroy Democracy

TRUMP WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BY:
making the USA energy independent
lowering taxes for individuals and corporations
creating employment opportunities
removing all illegal immigrants
reducing prices and ending inflation
building a strong military
ending global wars
standing up against China and Russia


American VOTERS decided the kill the WICKED LIBERAL WITCH and the entire country will be better off because they did...

The American People

 

In 2016, the American people were innocent and naive and did not know what or who to believe, but intuitively knew that there were only a handful of people who really cared about them.


In 2020, the American people had their lives turned upside by the COVID-19 virus and did not know who to believe but were falsely convinced that Donald and his presidency were to blame.


In 2024, the American people were literally backed into the corner by illegal immigrants, a weak economy, high prices, crime and violence, illegal drugs and a government that did not want to do anything about what was going on except blame it all on Donald Trump.


THE AMERICAN PEOPLE GREW UP QUICKLY...  and could see for themselves that the current government was and had been lying to them for years.  They also saw that MOST ALL POLITICIANS only cared about their own re-election rather than doing what was right for their constituents.


The American People also saw that the government had weaponized the legal system and was using it against their political opponent, a tactic used by the governments of Russia and China.  They were amazed and frightened that it was happening in the land of FREEDOMS.


Ignorance among young people (those in college) had grown exponentially and now these gay protestors supporting HAMAS had no idea that HAMAS would have cut their heads off had they known they were gay.  It was hard to believe that our children could be SO STUPID.


America was being controlled by the POWERFUL and the WEALTHY and those people had forgotten that they only represent 20% of the overall population.


A majority of Americans (80% actually) ARE NOT POWERFUL or WEALTHY...


The majority WILL ALWAYS RULE and WILL ALWAYS WIN EVENTUALLY...


It is just a numbers game.


You can fool all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time...


The powerful and wealthy are only that way because the EIGHTY PERCENT made it possible for them to be that way.

Major Leap Towards TIME TRAVEL

The concept of the tachyon, a theoretical particle that travels faster than light, has fascinated physicists and sparked decades of theoretical exploration. Originally conceived as a solution to certain quantum and relativity puzzles, tachyons remain hypothetical.


Yet, a new study by an international research team has reignited interest by proposing that tachyons are indeed possible within the framework of Einstein’s special theory of relativity—a finding that could significantly reshape our understanding of causality, time, and even the structure of reality.

The Origins of the Tachyon
Physicist Gerald Feinberg introduced the idea of tachyons in 1962 as particles that could potentially travel faster than light, always maintaining speeds beyond that limit. This groundbreaking suggestion was rooted in his study of imaginary mass, a concept involving the square root of a negative number.      READ MORE...
