The Right Stuff: Can SCOTUS correctly apply the rule of law?

By Earl Heal

The current reactions to the possible termination of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision warrants the presentation of relative facts to compare to considerable misinformation. Let’s start with the basic concepts of the Founders.

The eternal success of the Constitution is that the Founders applied vast knowledge of human nature which is unchanging and avoided establishing operating rules that change with time. It is written primarily with rules to prevent the government from becoming overpowering and to prevent human abuse. The Founders established that laws controlling people must only come from the government closer to the people, i.e., states and the local level.

Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution enumerates 17 powers of Congress; 15 powers authorize legislation controlling federal agencies and only two powers permit legislation controlling human behavior – laws governing the District of Columbia and for land acquired from states for federal use, e.g. military bases and national parks. This is reaffirmed in the 10th Amendment: “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.”[...read more]

The Importance of Prepping - Supply List

We are being frequently warned by the Biden Administration, that food shortages "are gonna be real". We have also been warned of possible cyber attacks that may take down our power grid. Someone seems to be helping the food shortages along, with the burning down of 17 food processing plants since the first of the year. We also have farmers being paid not to grow crops, and supply chain problems in delivering food to our stores and restaurants. It makes sense to make preparations and prepare for a possible catastrophe that we hope will never really happen.

The Right Stuff: Rule No. 1 to avoid war is deterrence

By Earl Heal

Earl Heal: The Right Stuff: Published May 16, 2022 Deterrence is defined as measures taken by a nation to prevent hostile action by another nation. The definition seems complete but lacks a definition of measures. History provides ample examples of inadequate measures meaning nothing to the aggressor. For effectiveness, measures must maintain military capability sufficient to willingly and unquestionably overcome the nation that is considering hostile action.

Diplomacy is the first line of protection but diplomacy without military capability renders the diplomat totally ineffective in negotiation. When Syria threatened chemical warfare, President Barack Obama stated that is a red line to not cross. Syria tested. Obama failed. Russia took over. Syria won.[...read more]
