“The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.” Confucius

Way back in 1995, Americans across the country were fed up with the same incumbents allegedly getting reelected for 10, 20, 30, 40 years or longer as a U.S. Rep or Senator.  A few years in the making, I knew any state passing a law by voters for term limits for Congress would be shot down by any higher court, but desperate, a few tried and as predicted, they all lost. The courts were right on that one.

Even though I sued the State of Texas in 2014 (Request for Write of Prohibition and injunction) to keep U.S. Senators off the ballot with PROOF the Seventeenth Amendment was NOT legally ratified (2 states short), the SoS didn’t care about the truth nor did the courts.  The appeals court in Austin (TX) were gutless cowards and threw my year-long case in the trash.  Fraud was just fine with them. No way were they going to take on such a hot issue:  A constitutional amendment that was not ratified.

It was a ‘first blush’ lawsuit meaning the first of its kind in either state or federal court to my knowledge – except one case on the non-ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment (income tax). The first judge I had asked the two state attorneys how much the state was going to fine me for a “frivolous” lawsuit after he tossed my case without reading a single document (over 300 of them).  He damn near crapped his pants when one of the two state attorneys said the state was not going to punish me.  I had been dealing with those two state attorneys for a year.

They were always very polite and had all the evidence from the National Archives, Wisconsin and California State Archives. After judge Flapdoodle stormed out of the court room I thanked them for their courtesy and for not slapping me with a big fine.  While they were gentlemen to the end, they offered no comment but I believe they knew I was right.  The hellish “standing” was not an issue here in Texas.

James Madison, known as the Father of the Constitution wrote: “The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures.” John Jay, co-author of The Federalist Papers quoted: “Jay then informed Governor Clinton that, unlike the Senate, where the two-thirds rule was in force for treaties and impeachment, the lower house had nothing to do with treaties; it represented the people whereas the Senate represented the states – for the Federalists always a significant distinction.”

Back when the propaganda machine was in full swing, justification for the Seventeenth Amendment was corruption within state legislatures. Perhaps so, but only someone with their head stuck in rectal darkness can’t see how corrupt the U.S. Senate has been become over the decades; very difficult to oust an incumbent senator. Always big $$ from special interest groups. The sovereign states of the Union have been stepped on since the fake Seventeenth Amendment became “law”. Too many U.S. Senators have been/are owned by corporate and special interest money for decades while the average American believes their senator is representing them.

U.S. Senators have been signing onto thousands of pieces of legislation for unconstitutional cabinets and agencies running amok inside the states of the Union. Large numbers of those regulations involving jurisdiction carry prison time if a conviction occurs. When will it stop?”

The next problem I had to address: Since ratification was two states short, Wisconsin and California, how long could the ratification process stay open? Since the Seventeenth was two states short of ratification, would the process still be open 101 years later?

My endless research in preparation for filing about knocked me off my chair as I found a U.S. Supreme Court case which supported my position:

United States Supreme Court – DILLON v. GLOSS, 256 U.S. 368 (1921) 256 U.S. 368 DILLON v. GLOSS, Deputy Collector. No. 251. Argued March 22, 1921. Decided May 16, 1921.

“The provisions of the act which the petitioner was charged with violating and under which he was arrested (title 2, 3, 26) were by the terms of the act (title 3, 21) to be in force from and after the date when the Eighteenth Amendment should go into effect, and the latter by its own terms was to go into effect one year after being ratified. Its ratification, of which we take judicial notice, was consummated January 16, 1919. That the Secretary of State did not proclaim its ratification until January 29, 1919, is not material, for the date of its consummation, and not that on which it is proclaimed, controls.”

Then, much to my shock right on the heels of finding that case, what else did I discover? Oh, you won’t believe this:

On April 11, 2002, the State of Alabama decided out of the clear blue to ratify the Seventeenth Amendment – 89 years after the alleged ratification. Back in 1913, not all states were in session; some were out of session four years at a time. Others took no action on the amendment – Georgia specifically based on an investigation ordered by their governor at the time that the Seventeenth Amendment was not legally adopted by Congress before it was even sent to the states.

On July 1, 2010, 97 years after the alleged ratification of that amendment, the State of Delaware ratified it. On April 1, 2012, 99 years after the alleged ratification, the State of Maryland voted to ratify the Seventeenth Amendment.

How interesting that nearly 100 years after the alleged ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment and after people like me have been pounding on this issue for close to two decades, three states just up and decided to vote on an old constitutional amendment? And why those three states? Now you see why Dillon v Gloss was so important to my case as was the taxpayer ‘standing’ exception here in Texas.

Over the decades polling shows real Americans want term limits for members of Congress. Such a change requires a constitutional amendment.  The big case which got shot down came in 1995:  SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES – Nos. 93-1456 and 93-1828

  1. S. TERM LIMITS, INC., et al., PETITIONERS 93-1456 v. RAY THORNTON et al. WINSTON BRYANT, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF ARKANSAS, PETITIONER 93-1828– on writs of certiorari to the supreme court of arkansas [May 22, 1995]

“Today’s cases present a challenge to an amendment to the Arkansas State Constitution that prohibits the name of an otherwise eligible candidate for Congress from appearing on the general election ballot if that candidate has already served three terms in the House of Representatives or two terms in the Senate. The Arkansas Supreme Court held that the amendment violates the Federal Constitution. We agree with that holding.

“Such a state-imposed restriction is contrary to the “fundamental principle of our representative democracy,” embodied in the Constitution, that “the people should choose whom they please to govern them.” Powell v. McCormack, 395 U.S. 486, 547 (1969) (internal quotation marks omitted). Allowing individual States to adopt their own qualifications for congressional service would be inconsistent with the Framers’ vision of a uniform National Legislature representing the people of the United States. If the qualifications set forth in the text of the Constitution are to be changed, that text must be amended.”

Right now, it’s the deadly serious insurrection spreading by paid anarchists brainwashed into believing it’s a good thing to protect ILLEGAL aliens and unleash violence against FEDERAL ICE agents that is dominating the Internet and paid whores in the “Mockingbird media” (cable, ABC, CBS, NBC, “news” papers, etc).  It’s the bull, the cape and the matador replaying.

No question the Democrat Communist Party USA needs votes by millions of illegals deliberately allowed to invade our country during the illegitimate Biden administration – same as the Marxist Somali’s allegedly getting elected as judges, city council, mayors and other offices.

One little problem they have (next to the privately owned, unconstitutional “Federal” Reserve) is one of the biggest heists and scandals ever seen in this country:  The stealing of BILLIONS of borrowed dollars we pay for plus interest (Congress never had the authority to authorize such spending) being conducted by Somali criminals.)  One can bet some of that filthy lucre made its way into the campaign coffers of DemonRats in Congress via PAC’s and “ghost” companies. An investigation by DOJ is underway.

Like the empty-headed AOC who doesn’t know her elbow from her ass but she’s learned how to game the system.  She’s out there yelling and screaming over ICE rounding up rapists, murderers, thieves and other illegals.  Oh, how the media pimps want to distract people away from that fraud investigation (involving several states) as well as investigation of another professional liar, Ilhan Omar.[1] One can only pray that lying, slimy piece of work is stripped of her citizenship and sent back to Somali.  Such a paradise.

So, game plan on.  Get gullible morons convinced executing our immigration deportation laws is somehow evil. Doesn’t matter if they’re rapists, murderers, thieves, drunks’ killings innocent Americans on our roadways and highways – My God they’re being put in concentration camps! Offer these useful fools big non-taxable money to travel around the country (or local) causing so much damage and violence against ICE Federal Agents doing their lawful work it sickens me.  This plan is now at the top of “media” coverage while distracting people with what’s going on regarding the investigations underway over the Somali thieves and their multi-billion-dollar heist.  As the old saying goes, if it bleeds, it leads and these high paid “news” anchors and the “ladies” on the moron show, The View, vomit up BS trashing our ICE agents executing lawful warrants.  Throw more gas on the fire.

A small example of horse manure:

Media Claim: “ICE Drags Citizen in the Snow in His Underwear,” But There Is More to the Story, Jan. 26, 2026

Nancy Pelosi, another career criminal VERY rich cockroach is retiring.  Add this bimbo who is also thankfully leaving: Early Stages of Dementia – 88-Year-Old Democrat Eleanor Holmes Norton isn’t running for office again. If you’ve ever watched her on C-SPAN, it would make you puke.  She’s been in the District of Criminals (Washington, DC), 34 years.  I believe it’s now around 50 members of CON-gress bailing out and not running for reelection.

Crook Sen. Mitch McConnell, China’s bitch, who obviously is in advanced dementia (for years) is leaving after being on the public dole 40 YEARS.  Books by Peter Schweizer:  Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends – #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!  Amazon:

“Peter Schweizer has been fighting corruption—and winning—for years. In Throw Them All Out, he exposed insider trading by members of Congress, leading to the passage of the STOCK Act. In Extortion, he uncovered how politicians use mafia-like tactics to enrich themselves. And in Clinton Cash, he revealed the Clintons’ massive money machine and sparked an FBI investigation.

“Now he explains how a new corruption has taken hold, involving larger sums of money than ever before. Stuffing tens of thousands of dollars into a freezer has morphed into multibillion-dollar equity deals done in the dark corners of the world.

“An American bank opening in China would be prohibited by US law from hiring a slew of family members of top Chinese politicians. However, a Chinese bank opening in America can hire anyone it wants. It can even invite the friends and families of American politicians to invest in can’t-lose deals.

“President Donald Trump’s children have made front pages across the world for their dicey transactions. However, the media has barely looked into questionable deals made by those close to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Mitch McConnell, and lesser-known politicians who have been in the game longer.

“In many parts of the world, the children of powerful political figures go into business and profit handsomely, not necessarily because they are good at it, but because people want to curry favor with their influential parents. This is a relatively new phenomenon in the United States. But for relatives of some prominent political families, we may already be talking about hundreds of millions of dollars.

“Deeply researched and packed with shocking revelations, Secret Empires identifies public servants who cannot be trusted and provides a path toward a more accountable government.”

Schweizer’s book, Clinton Cash was also a best seller.  But of course, the useful fools in Black Lies Matter, fascists ANTIFA and these paid “protesters” we’re seeing in Minneapolis and other cities are what I call the Unreachables.  Keep sending your children to public schools that have been indoctrinating them and by the time they get to some college or university, they’re nothing more than robotic Manchurian thugs and idiots ripe for ANTIFA and other America hating groups out there recruiting.

There’s been a term limit caucus in Congress for years and the necessary resolution to get the process under way but dies after each session.  Think 90% of them want to give up their power and being treated as if they’re gods? We the people want term limits and please spare me the BS about an incumbent being so great, so experienced – like crook Mitch McConnell or human garbage like Chuckie Schumer and many RINOs.  We need to keep them in office for their “conservative” values! Sure, you do. Now open your eyes.

I believe there’s now about 50 DemonRats and Republicans who are not running for reelection. Hallelujah!  That’s why the upcoming mid-term elections are so important. The real election starts during the primaries because in the end you get two choices in November, R or D even if you voted for a challenger in the primaries.  Over a dozen members of Congress age 80 or older seeking re-election: report, Jan. 15, 2026

Five-in-Six Americans Favor Constitutional Amendment on Term Limits for Members of Congress, March 21, 2023 – “An in-depth study finds that five-in-six Americans favor a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on Members of Congress.

“While there has not been a vote on term limits in Congress since 1995, the issue was given new life during this year’s speakership negotiations when Speaker McCarthy guaranteed a vote on congressional term limits.” DOA

Bresnahan Joins Bipartisan Effort to Create Congressional Term Limits, April 24, 2025 – “WASHINGTON, DC: Today, U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan, Jr. (PA-08) announced his cosponsorship of H.J.Res.12, an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to limit the number of terms a Member of Congress may serve… “This is not a career for me, but rather, a chance to give back to the community that raised me.”

“According to the Pew Research Center, an overwhelming majority of adults, 87%, favor limiting the number of terms that members of Congress are allowed to serve.” Here’s the Joint ResolutionDetails here.  106 cosponsors (never thought it possible).  That resolution has been rotting for nearly 10 months.

April 17, 2025 – Senator Dave McCormick Introduces Term Limits Resolution

Washington, D.C., April 10, 2025 – “Senator Dave McCormick (R-PA) introduced a joint resolution today proposing an amendment to the Constitution to implement term limits in Congress. This resolution would limit Senators to two six-year terms and House Members to six two-year terms, limiting either chamber to service of twelve years.”

Those bills will die in December because as Patrick Henry said, “I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past.”

Ten months is more than enough time to get that done and should have gotten done after Congress was sworn in last year.  CON-gress – both House and Senate have been passing budgets with bills that are completely outside their legislative authority.  Thousands of bills for social issues; hundreds of billions of dollars to foreign countries and the list goes on; see Art. 1 Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution. Once again:

Joseph Story, Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833:

“Another not unimportant consideration is that the powers of the general government will be, and indeed must be, principally employed upon external objects, such as war, peace, negotiations with foreign powers and foreign commerce. In its internal operations it can touch but few objects, except to introduce regulations beneficial to the commerce, intercourse and other relations, between the states, and to lay taxes for the common good. The powers of the states, on the other hand, extend to all objects, which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, and liberties, and property of the people, and the internal order, improvement and prosperity of the state.”

We must also look to the Tenth Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”

If I were in Congress, my resolution would be 2 terms for the House (4 yrs) and one term as a Senator (6) years. Once unconstitutional cabinets (like the Federal Dept of Education) are shut down, members of Congress don’t need to stay in office 20, 30 or 50+ years. Critical bills under Art. 1 Sec. 8 must be their only focus, not becoming a nanny state.

Neither CON-gress or the courts will ever come clean about the non-ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment so it will have to be amended to include term limits. Cleaning the swamp isn’t just about voting out the cockroaches who’ve all but destroyed this republic but also abolishing cabinets and agencies that have zero authority under the Constitution.

Mid-Term Elections Are About Power & Dirty Money – Mine.  So important for voters to know their incumbents voting history, challengers qualifications and a public pledge they will make term limits a top priority or we will continue to get socialists, communists and America haters like the majority of muslims allegedly reelected. Of course, election fraud is #1 for the upcoming mid-terms.  The Reds (communists) and all flavors of America haters – like the anti-ICE lunatics – will get in office and because of election fraud, they’ll stay for decades.  Game Plan by the shadow government; make no mistake about it.

BUT we don’t have to wait for the mid-terms to get those resolutions passed for term limits.  Here’s the process. Right NOW the RNC should be blasting those resolutions for term limits because it’s what We the People (real American patriots) want and our Republic needs.  If you want something bad enough, fight for it. The tough fight will be your state legislature.
