The Feds Continue to Ignore the Constitution

Last week the Biden Administration announced it would be ending the Title 42 Covid restrictions on illegal immigrants. I find this to be very ironic as the Governor of Texas just renewed the Covid emergency declaration on 23 March. It would appear illegals have more rights than law-abiding Texas citizens. However, what is quite unconstitutional is the Biden administration's abdication of their constitutional duty under the "Guarantee Clause", Article IV, Section 4. The federal government is charged to protect every state in the union from invasion. And there can be no debate when millions are entering our nation illegally. This is not an immigration issue, it is indeed an invasion.

Perhaps some of you may recall that this whole idea of taxing income began in the early 1900s, circa 1917. Prior to taxing Americans based upon their income, taxation was based upon consumption, what people purchased. The personal income tax was supposed to be temporary, and not to exceed 2%. Yes, the joke is firmly upon the American people.

Allen West: Keep Our 2nd Amendment Strong

Allen West: Beware the Traps of Unconstitutional Red Flag Laws

Anonymous accusations with no due process whatsoever should never lead to infringement of rights. Red flag laws can easily run afoul of both your 2nd and 4th Amendment rights. Beware of "feel-good" policies created as fear-driven knee-jerk reactions. We must be vigilant to protect our freedoms.
