Any government job is workfare crossed with lavish expense accounts. Who is responsible for the extravagant spending that has led to a 31% reduction in the dollar since 2009? The concept of term limits in the Constitution was rejected because the founding fathers erroneously thought that it would not be necessary since it was such a financial hardship to be a civil servant. The low pay, being away from your family and having to pay for lodging in the nation’s capital precluded the average man from “serving”.
The consequences have given us congressmen who represent their lobbyists instead of their constituents. They barely work part-time, rubber stump unread legislation written by their handlers and become rich on insider trading. This is the “quality” of legislators that we have today. Their yearly salary of $174,000 does not include benefits like healthcare or retirement. This also does not include their expense accounts. Per Grok:
The average amount a U.S. House congressman receives for expenses in 2025, based on the MRA (Members’ Representational Allowance), is approximately $1.85 million per year. For Senators, the average is higher, around $4.75 million, but the query likely focuses on House members given the term “congressman.” These figures cover staff, office operations, travel, and other official duties, adjusted for inflation from historical data. Actual 2025 amounts may vary based on congressional appropriations and individual district factors.
Just like any thief, they stab you in the back as they steal your money. Are you feeling the pain yet?
The Constitution Is Dead. Long Live the Constitution!
The United States Constitution, a precious gift of liberty and moral clarity from the Founding Fathers, lies not defeated by the sword of tyrants, but slowly bled to death by the hands of those who swore to preserve, protect, and defend it. US Presidents, members of Congress, and judges have, over decades, by their actions—or failure to act in accordance with their sacred oath—dismantled the US Constitution clause by clause, replacing the constitutional rule of law envisioned by the Founding Fathers with a totalitarian, unaccountable police state.
This essay is a eulogy—but also a call to action. The Constitution may be dead in practice, but its soul lives on in the hearts of the American people and to restore liberty, peace, and prosperity in America, we must do all we can to make the Constitution the law of the land again. If we act with love, conscience, intelligence, and courage, we can leave our children and grandchildren a gift of constitutional, non-intrusive, transparent, accountable, well-managed, honest, humane, and intelligent government “of the people, by the people, for the people.”
Typically most people sharing our mindset think of America as a nation in decline, slowly falling apart and heading for an inevitable crash. The thought being that we are nearing the end of the downward spiral and preparing for a collapse. That makes sense but I don’t think it is really accurate.
So the left has their shorts in a twist about bringing in a few white South African farmers. Well, unlike all the blacks and browns that have flooded our country with ‘enrichment,’ these folks will actually work and are compatible with our culture. They are also not coming for the gim-mes, they’re coming because they’re suffering genocide in their own country.
GENOCIDE: Top Democrat, Rick Stengel justified the genocide of white farmers in South Africa explaining the ought to be punished for the sins of their forebears. Their ‘collective guilt’ justifies seizure of their farms and their lives.
The fact is, the West has spent decades building up an entire doctrine of warfare that is slowly becoming obsolete—one that relies on high-tech, high-cost weapons which cannot be reproduced at scale. Part of this is due to the fact that with the increasing complexity of modern ‘high-tech’ weapons, supply chains become problematic, particularly when China controls most of the world’s rare earths.
