these are the first stirring s of an idea presented for discussion.

With the left continually wanting to do away with the Electoral College I wanna come up with a new proposal that might be appealing to multiple interest groups. It would change not just the national picture but also have an impact on the states and Federalism as a whole. As I’ve noted both the 17^th Amendment and the legislation limiting the number of representatives in the House continue to cause issues in representation and the republic form of government.

So I would propose the following: Any city in the United States with a population in excess of one million MAY become a city state upon a majority vote of the residents of said city AND a majority vote of the residents of the rest of the state in question. These city states would get one Senator and one Representative. There are currently eleven such cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, San Jose and Austin. Fort Worth and Jacksonville should be joining these ranks soon.

Up-staters will gladly get rid of NYC and in Illinois Chicago will be welcomed out. Will the rest of Mexifornia cut LA and SD lose? Might San Jose elect to stay? Four or five will be quite a change for Texas. Thoughts?

I’ve been good. I’ve stayed relatively apolitical. But the events of the last few weeks have prompted a response. I’m not a Trump supporter. He’s crude. He’s a game-player. And his lack of understanding of Constitutional Law is second only to his opponents. He’s the unforeseen love-child of the slippery slope we started down when Bill Clinton answered questions about his underwear on M-TV and the 1988 Writers Strike.

But I occasionally judge people on their enemies. Which brings us to the current perceived state of the Democrat Party. The morning after his election my ex-wife reached out to me from the People’s Republic of Mexifornia, worried about armed jack-booted thugs marching in the streets, concentration camps, and worse. I observed the only armed jack-booted thugs marching in the streets I saw were HER side: Antifa. But the cry had gone out. He was Hitler, only worse. Mr. Nadler has called him a dictator from the well of the Senate. Repeatedly. He must be removed immediately. Or at least as soon as Nancy’s souvenir pens come back from the printer.

Dear reader, I present you with the two options given by Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Schiff, Mr. Nadler, et al.. Either Trump is the second coming of Hitler – a despotic tyrannical dictator who must be removed at any cost ….. or they’re lying. Let’s set that second one aside for a moment. Two better writers than I, Kurt Schlichter over at Town Hall and Marta Hernandez at Victory Girls Blog have put it much more succinctly than I. Virginia is leading the way with red flag laws and 1^st Amendment restrictions. Candidates for POTUS have promised on-demand abortions for biological men., free college (but no reimbursement for those who worked and scrimped and saved.) It’s a Woke War. “Wax My Balls” and “Bake That Cake Bigot” are their war cries. A Bernie campaign worker from 2016 tried to assassinate the Republican House Majority and more recent campaign workers have threatened to burn down a city if he isn’t nominated and to re-educate the losers if he’s elected.

So if the current House Majority, the Democrat POTUS candidates, the DMC et al are correct, it’s time to take up arms. “…when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invincibly the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is a right – it is a DUTY – to throw off such governments and provide new guards for their future security. “ The Left must act now. Go home to your basements, your dorms, your urban apartments and your millionaire mansions and take up arms!

And if you DON’T, then they’re lying. The House Majority. The POTUS candidates. The DMC. All of them.
