When a Democrat is in the White House, states aren’t even allowed to enforce
immigration law. But when a Republican is in the White House, states can create their
own immigration laws. Under Obama, a state wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom
without asking permission. But under Trump, Jerry Brown can go around saying that
California is an independent republic and sign treaties with other countries.
The Constitution has something to say about that.
Whether it’s Federal or State, Executive, Legislative or Judiciary, the left moves

suddenly the supreme power in the land. This is what I call a moving dictatorship.

in the club with him. Now we’re seeing what the pros do when amateurs try to walk
in on them. They spy on them, they investigate them and they send them to jail.
They use the tools of power to bring them down.
That’s not a free country.
It’s not a free country when FBI agents who support Hillary take out an ‘insurance
policy’ against Trump winning the election. It’s not a free country when Obama
officials engage in massive unmasking of the opposition. It’s not a free country when
the media responds to the other guy winning by trying to ban the conservative media
that supported him from social media.
It’s not a free country when all of the above collude together to overturn an election
because the guy who wasn’t supposed to win did.
Have no doubt, we’re in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and a
leftist Democrat professional government. Use minds productively together or
separate, and realize no one will ever be satisfied being a Democrat or a Republican.
