U.S. Constitution Amendment XII Part One

The Freedom of Lie
Brent Regan
The freedom of speech is dead. It has been for a while. If you doubt this, try saying something that is against the progressive woke narrative. The woke social justice Brown Shirts will mercilessly attack you, your employment, your business, and your neighbors with the goal of canceling you, driving you from the public square or from gainful employment and even into jail. Openly criticize, or even tell an inconvenient truth about a “protected class,” and life, as you know it, is over.
These progressive fascists use the East German Stasi methodology of guilt by association, or even proximity. If someone takes a picture of you with the wrong person in the same frame, you are Guilty! If you don’t denounce whomever they say you need to denounce when they snap their fingers, you are Guilty! If you do accept their narrative and denounce who or what they say, you are Guilty!
However, if you conform to their narrative, which is a lie, you can say whatever you want and be praised by the media. The sheer volume of the mendacity seems to provide its own cover. Listing even a fraction of the lies that were stood up as truth is stunning. Here are some reminders.
Trump didn’t tell people to drink bleach. January 6 wasn’t an insurrection. Brett Kavanaugh wasn’t a gang rapist. Israel didn’t bomb the hospital in Gaza. Derek Chauvin didn’t murder George Floyd. Trump did not call white supremacists “fine people.” Jussie Smollett wasn’t the victim of a hate crime. Trump didn’t collude with Russia. Men can’t get pregnant. Hunter’s laptop isn’t Russian disinformation. COVID didn’t originate in a wet market. mRNA vaccines didn’t stop the spread. Putin didn’t blow up his own Nord Stream Pipeline. Climate models can’t predict the future.
What is remarkable is that not only did the progressive liberal media gaslight the world, but there is a significant fraction of the population that remains convinced of these lies despite them being thoroughly debunked. Once a weak mind has accepted something as “fact,” confirmation bias will reinforce that belief despite significant contrary information.
While all these lies are harmful, perhaps the most pernicious lie is that the 2020 election was the most honest election ever. A Rasmussen poll conducted on 1,085 likely voters (MOE +-3%) released on December 12th is stunning.
“Thirty percent (30%) of those surveyed said they voted by absentee or mail-in ballot in the 2020 election. Nineteen percent (19%) of those who cast mail-in votes say a friend or family member filled out their ballot, in part or in full, on their behalf. Furthermore, 17% of mail-in voters say that in the 2020 election, they cast a ballot in a state where they were no longer a permanent resident.” “Seventeen percent (17%) of those who cast mail-in ballots in 2020 say they signed a ballot or ballot envelope on behalf of a friend or family member, with or without their permission. All of these practices are illegal, Heartland Institute officials noted.” “More Biden voters (36%) than Trump voters (23%) say they voted by absentee or mail-in ballot in the 2020 election.”
Of those in the survey 34% admitted they illegally cast ballots due to residency or fraudulent signature issues. Extrapolating to the 155 million ballots cast, 30% or 46 million were mail in. Of those, 34% or 15.8 million were cast illegally and of those, 9.6 million supported Biden and 6.1 million supported Trump. Illegal votes likely amounted to 3.5 million extra Biden votes. The margin of error would be greater than the margin of victory.
The progressive Democrats, and their supporters in the media, haven’t stopped gaslighting. Fake news stories include claims that the Idaho GOP has been taken over by white supremacists, that the Caucus is a power play by Ted Cruz supporters to deny Trump the nomination, and the voter initiative being marketed state wide will “open” the primaries.
The truth is that the GOP has more grassroots members in leadership than ever before. This irritates the establishment class who correctly see this as a threat to their power monopoly, eliciting accusations of “extremism” and “cabal” from lips formerly calling for “unity” under their rule.
The Caucus is the Republican Party’s fix for the mess created when the Secretary of State, Legislature and Governor passed a flawed bill that eliminated the March Presidential Primary, disenfranchising all Idaho voters. At our Winter Meeting, all 221 state central committee members passed a resolution and rules begging the legislature to repeal the flawed bill. They did not and so the Republican Party responded with a Caucus plan that would re-enfranchise Idaho Republicans.
All Idaho voters who are, or have affiliated before the end of 2023 will be qualified to participate in the Caucus. Unfortunately there is no absentee voting because there is no access to Idaho’s voter signature database for signature verification.
The name “Open Primary” initiative is a lie. If you read the actual ballot language it clearly states “THIS MEASURE WOULD ABOLISH IDAHO’S PARTY PRIMARIES.” An accurate name would be “Abolish the Primary” and proponents of that initiative claim that allowing only Republicans to vote for who will represent the Republican Party in the general election is unfair to members of the Democrat, Libertarian, and Constitution parties as well as unaffiliated voters.
Imagine claiming that limiting who can vote in Kootenai County elections to only people who live in Kootenai County is unfair to people who live in Spokane. That would be crazy, right? But that is exactly what the Open…er… Abolish the Primary proponents are saying.
The initiate would also make lying legal as it would allow anyone to list any party affiliation even if they are not actually affiliated. Here is the exact language from the initiative:
“CANDIDATES COULD LIST ANY AFFILIATION ON THE BALLOT, BUT WOULD NOT REPRESENT POLITICAL PARTIES, AND NEED NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PARTY THEY NAME.”
They want to legalize lying. Unless we say no to the lies and embrace free speech our Republic is doomed.
It’s just common sense

U.S. Constitution Amendment X
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.
- Convention of the States: Background: Just to be clear, I do not support this convention. There is just too much danger: they could eliminate much of the Bill of Rights and change other provisions. Better to handle one issue at a time as has been done in the past. Plus, if the left does not follow the present Constitution, they will not follow a revised one. With the Left in control of so much of our government at the present time, this is just not the right time for a Constitutional Convention.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)
U.S. Constitution Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
- Please see the attached with information about the dangers of electric vehicles.
- Finding: Times when no sun and no wind Here in Idaho right now it has been cloudy, raining or snowing for about three weeks. Also, when it gets cold often the wind does not blow. It is madness to abandon coal and natural gas. There is also a movement to remove our impressive dams. This is pure liberal madness. Congress should have something to say about all this, but apparently, they do not.

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fine imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted.
- Idaho Republican Chairman Dorothy Moon Talks about the Presidential Caucus March 2, 2024, Saturday.
- Thoroughly Confused Liz Chaney continues to get press Chaney says Trump Republicans don’t support the Constitution, but she has yet to say what part of the Constitution they do not support. This is interesting in view of the fact that many Democrats have neglected to follow the Constitution at every turn. The president, especially, is doing many things that are the responsibility of the Congress. And, he refuses to enforce the law, especially to protect our borders. Maybe Liz ought to think about that.
Watch second message with Ron DeSantis: I think he ought to run for Vice President. I know Trump would have to change his mind, but it could happen. Show me anything DeSantis believes that is Un-American, or Anti-Republican.

U.S. Constitution Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defence.
- (In looking at the above one has to wonder how many of the January 6 people who have been held without speedy trial or other conditions; this appears to be unconstitutional, yet no one is doing anything about it.)
- Melania Trump Wants Tucker Carlson as Vice President It would be a steep learning curve for Tucker, but I believe he, at least, has the right attitude.
In the letter, Republican Representative Elise Stefanik and Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz demanded that the board of governors at Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology oust their presidents or risk committing “an act of complicity in their antisemitic posture.”
- Liz Magill, President of University of Pennsylvania, resigns after failure to condemn antisemitism. It is interesting that all three presidents of institutions are women, and not any of the three would give a yes or no answer as to what constitutes harassment.
- Trump endorses Abe Hamadeh for Arizona 8th Congress This is confusing, except the video clip was from 2022 when he ran for attorney general. Blake Masters is also running for District 8 in Arizona
- Trump Banker Testimony: Not only did Trump not defraud the bank, but the bank actually sought him out as a good investment This deal paid the bank, not thousands, but paid millions.

Threat to Democracy Brent Regan
Democracy is where a society is ruled by the people. It was understood by our founders that a pure democracy is an unstable form of government because as soon as the majority appreciates that they can vote for the seizure of wealth and property from the minority, revolution and chaos are only a matter of time. Our Founders’ solution was to give us a Republic in which the people vote for their elected officials to represent them and then the officials pass laws to govern society.
The democratic component of a Republican form of government depends on the integrity of the voting system: one man, one vote. It is essential this democracy not be polluted with illegitimate votes or voters and that the tabulation of votes is accurate and auditable. It is vital that candidates for office are unfettered by prosecution for political motives and that justice and politics remain in their separate camps.
Democrats accuse Republicans of being against democracy, but what is the truth? Who really is the enemy of democracy?
Internationally the Democrats universally support the war in Ukraine claiming that it is essential to preserve democracy, yet in Ukraine president Zelenskyy has suspended elections, outlawed or assassinated political opposition and banned an orthodox Christian faith. Giving Ukraine billions of dollars is degrading democracy. Not protecting it.
Nationally, consider the Democrats and their allies in the media have been consistently pushing a narrative with the objective of “Hitlerizing” Donald Trump. They are essentially engaged in mass brainwashing of millions of people into believing that Trump is an existential threat to democracy.
Even Joe Biden has repeatedly and directly pushed the narrative. At a recent speech he said “Let there be no question: Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans are determined to destroy American democracy,” a claim so absurd that even the liberal fact check organization Snopes called it out as False. Biden has since said “We cannot let him win” indicating he doesn’t think the voters will be deciding.
What we are witnessing is a slow motion assassination attempt. Most people agree that it would have been justifiable to kill Hitler to prevent him from coming to power. Democrats are trying to convince millions of people that Trump is effectively the next Hitler, and there is a near certainty that one of those millions will act on their belief.
This is too prevalent to be an accident. Democrat legislator Daniel Goldman even spoke the quiet part out loud when he said that former President Trump must be eliminated. He later retracted his words but you don’t say things like that unless you are thinking them, and the Democrats are obviously thinking those thoughts.
Democrats have also weaponized elements of the justice system against their political opponents. There is now sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that January 6th was an operation designed to entrap Trump and Trump supporters. The fallacy that it was an attempted takeover of the government by unarmed citizens sauntering through the nation’s capital (a public space) and then characterizing that fallacy as an “insurrection” is pushed by Democrats and their allies to this day.
When presented with evidence that Obama was a naturalized, not a natural born US citizen, Democrats chanted “Let the voters decide!” and indeed we did. But now the Democrats have engineered dozens of politically motivated indictments against Trump to thwart the people’s ability to decide.
Attempting to assassinate and ensnarling your political opponent in endless politically motivated litigation is a tactic typical of third world banana republics and not the free world’s flagship of the democratic processes. Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are laughing at the hypocrisy of the Democrats.
Democrats like to talk democracy but in practice they consistently fall short. For example, we are about to have our Presidential Caucus or Primary, during which delegates will be selected to attend the party’s national convention. At the Republican Convention all 2,469 delegates have an equal vote on who will be the next Republican Party nominee for president.
The Democrat convention has delegates elected from the grassroots but they also have Super Delegates who are party bosses and officials that are not pledged to any particular candidate. There are enough Super Delegates to control the outcome of any convention vote. Just ask Bernie Sanders. Oh, and if you have ever expressed support for a candidate from another party you cannot be a Super Delegate.
In reality the Democrat Convention is nothing more than an arena sized smoke-filled room where party bosses, not the grassroots, select their next candidate. It is all Kabuki Theater and any resemblance to one man one vote democracy is coincidental.
Democrats are not concerned with the integrity of the vote either. They chant “Count every vote” notably not “Count every legitimate vote” and indeed they promote election rules that invite cheating. Mail in voting, automatic voter registration, no ID voting, non-citizen voting, ballot harvesting, and unmonitored ballot collection boxes are all ripe for voter fraud. Vote early and vote often seems to be the Democrat motto.
Following the idea that if you can’t win under the rules, change the rules, the Democrats are pushing for Jungle Primaries and Ranked Choice voting. This initiative will destroy your right to associate with friends of similar views and obliterate the one man one vote bedrock principle of democracy.
Democrats say they want a world safe for democracy but their actions tell us they are only using “democracy” as a facade to camouflage an unbridled quest for power and control.
It’s just common sense.
