Jamiel Shaw, whose son was murdered by an illegal immigrant in 2008, blasted the Obama administration’s immigration policies during a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee hearing on Wednesday.

“My son, Jamiel Andre Shaw II, was murdered by a DREAMer, a DACA recipient, a child brought to this country by no fault of his own,” Shaw began. “My family’s peace and freedom was stolen by an illegal alien from Mexico. He was brought here by his illegal alien parents and allowed to grow up as a wild animal.”

He continued: “Some people believe that if you are brought over by no fault of your own that it makes you a good person. They want you to believe that DREAM Act kids don’t murder. I am here to debunk that myth.”

As Ukraine’s socio-economic situation goes from worst to worst-er, today’s announcement by President Poroshenko that the government will take actions to stabilize the currency (which as we previously noted, appears to be heading for hyperinflation) has Ukrainians rushing for the exits into precious metals… with only one goal in mind – wealth preservation.

What a horrible time in America —an inept leader in the White House and knot- headed Republicans nipping at his heels like a pack of annoying Chihuahuas. And like those pesky little dogs, they seemingly have no apparent talent other than barking.

Some thought that the pre-2015 Republicans had no plan —sadly they did. Their grand scheme was quite simple, they were content to merely sit on their thumbs and allow President Obama to flounder, and hoped to win enough seats in the legislature in November 2014 to control both houses of congress. He did and they did! The problem with this plan was that it had absolutely nothing to do with governing or dealing with the mammoth problems facing America, or curbing the president’s high-handed unconstitutional acts.

Once the new congress was seated their first order of business was to reelect one of Obama’s few friends as Speaker of the House. I suppose that there is something poetic about having the man who thinks he is king and the king of the cocktail hour running the Executive and the lower chamber of the bicameral congress respectively. The Republican House did not have the stomach to remove Boehner nor will they challenge Obama’s imperial orders in any meaningful way because they simply lack the ethical courage to do their job!

The real problem is that we have given away our Liberty to domestic enemies in exchange for a false sense of security and entitlements. So what is the remedy?

HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 48

February 5, 2015

A JOINT RESOLUTION APPLYING TO CONGRESS FOR AN ARTICLE V CONVENTION OF THE STATES WITH THE PURPOSE OF PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

Whereas, the Founders of the Constitution of the United States empowered State Legislators to be guardians against actual or potential abuses of power by the federal government; and

Whereas, the federal government has increasingly usurped legitimate roles of the States; and

Whereas, the federal government has created a crushing national debt through unsustainable budgeting and spending; and

Whereas, it is the solemn duty of the States to protect freedom and opportunity for our citizens, including the generations to come; and

Whereas, Article V of the United States Constitution authorizes a process to propose amendments to the Constitution of the United States through a Convention of the States to place clear restraints on these and related abuses of power; Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

SECTION 1.  The Legislature of the State of North Carolina hereby applies to Congress, under the provisions of Article V of the Constitution of the United States, for the calling of a Convention of the States limited to proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.

SECTION 2.  The Secretary of State shall transmit copies of this application to the President of the United States, Secretary of the United States Senate, the Speaker and Clerk of the United States House of Representatives, the members of North Carolina’s congressional delegation, and the presiding officers of each of the legislative house in the several States requesting their cooperation.

SECTION 3.  This application constitutes a continuing application in accordance with Article V of the Constitution of the United States until the legislatures of at least two‑thirds of the several states have made applications on the same subject.

SECTION 4.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.

Every sponsor of this resolution is a Republican. They clearly have no concept of the consequences of an Article V Convention. Remember Nancy Pelosi’s statement that we have to pass the legislation in order to see what is in the legislation? Remember the colonial convention to amend the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union? Once these politicians convene a convention, they will be able to usurp power in any fashion they please. Do not be fooled that it will be constrained by limitations prior to its inception. If you want to know what a Con-Con will bring, you will have to convene a Con-Con. In other words, we will only know what will be passed after they pass it.

Does anyone really expect the politicians who have sold out our Liberty to restore it? If these power hungry politicians were truly concerned about Liberty, they would pass a resolution to return to the limitations granted by Article I, Section 8. Maybe they should pass a resolution to enforce the 9th and 10th Amendments. But then that is not the point.  I am very surprised that George Cleveland would support this effort.
