By Accident or on Purpose, Trump’s G7 Withdrawal is Yet Another Constitutional Executive Action by Jake MacAulay   France released a statement on Sunday condemning President Donald Trump for withdrawing from a previously agreed-upon statement by all seven nations in the Group of Seven (G7).   While it may not be the President’s primary motive, the withdrawal from G7 is a constitutional, executive action.   Let me explain.    The premise of the G7 is to have a conference of

Christian Baker Wins and Constitution Adversaries Finally Want Limited Judicial Authority by Jake MacAulay   Justice Felix Frankfurter said, “The ultimate touchstone of constitutionality is the Constitution itself and not what we have said about it.”   Practicing his Christianity by not participating in a sinful ceremony, Jack Phillips refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple in 2012.

Memorial Day Patriotism by Jake MacAulay What if I asked you “Do you feel Patriotic paying taxes to fund the central government's nationalization of the banks, the insurance industry, the automobile industry, the health care industry, and now local police forces or the use of the American military for unconstitutional and immoral, wasteful wars for empire?”   I am assuming if you are a Patriot, a genuine American of good will, that you would answer, “no”.   What if I told you

Moving A United States Embassy by Jake MacAulay President Donald Trump promised during his 2016 campaign to relocate the American Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.  This move has enraged Palestinians who claim Jerusalem as their capital and in retaliation many Palestinians have led violent protests, which have caused over 50 deaths so far.   Many Palestinian sympathizers in America have once again found another axe t

Iowa’s Declaration of the Humanity of the Unborn by Jake  MacAulay   TheBlaze.com reported this weekend , “Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a law Friday that bans most abortions if a fetal heartbeat can be detected, something that typically happens around six weeks into a pregnancy.   The new law scheduled to go into effect July 1, gives Iowa the most restrictive abortion regulation in the country, according to published reports.   At the Institute on the Constitution, we app

HOW SHOULD WE VOTE? by Jake MacAulay What should we do now that the elections are approaching?  How should we act?  What should we know?  What should we ask?  What are we looking for?  And finally, knowing what we know (and don’t know), how should we then vote?   Whether we’re talking about Dog Catcher, city or County Council, State House, or our national government, it seems to me that, just like the Marines, we are looking for a “few good men.”    Let’s start with the word

Peroutka Resolution Claims Constitutional Rights for the Unborn! by Jake MacAulay Does anyone doubt that American culture is in a downward spiral? Shootings in schools, attacks on police, misuse of authority by police, disrespect of teachers, disobedience by children of parents, drugs, gangs, violence…   Why is this happening?   There are many answers, but do these effects trace back to a common thread?   I think they might.   At the risk of over-simplicity, let’s try this ou

Government of the United States, How About Some Common Sense by Jake MacAulay   “A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right…” So wrote Thomas Paine in a pamphlet called Common Sense, which aided the cause of American Independence with a logic and a passion that aroused public opinion to hot anger and a firm resolve to resist English tyranny.   Paine’s point is that no matter how long you have been doing a wrong thing, it is st

Are Un-American Youth Becoming a Trend? by Jake MacAulay On my travels throughout America, I have the privilege to speak to youth in public, private, and home schools and occasionally churches.  While touring in Iowa I had the chance to address a mixed crowd that included a high school church youth group.  My first thought when speaking to youth is, Awesome, I can teach and equip these kids with what they need to stand against the secularists in America’s current culture war.

The Shot Heard Round the World That Prevented Gun Confiscation in America by Jake MacAulay “What a glorious morning this is!” said Samuel Adams to John Hancock at the Battle of Lexington, Massachusetts, 243 years ago on April 19, 1775.

Are Gun Control Restrictions Making the Law or Breaking the Law? by Jake MacAulay In the light of the still very recent calamitous shooting in Parkland, Florida, there has been continuous talk about the authority the U.S. government and its agencies have to restrict the use of individual firearms of American citizens. In my travels I hear individuals in airports, hotels, restaurants, and all over speaking about it. So I felt compelled to make a non-emotional, Constitutional p

The Vitriolic Dialogue of Federal Gun Restrictions Continues… by Jake MacAulay   Three weeks ago, I discussed how school shootings have become a monstrous epidemic.

Student Protests: Good or Bad? What Say You? by Jake MacAulay   Hundreds of students across the nation faced punishments for participating in the national student walkout last week in support of increased gun control, according to published reports.

Should We Treat Congress Like an NFL Franchise in Terms of Winning and Spending? by Jake MacAulay The massive $1.3 trillion spending bill produced by Republicans and advocated by many Democrats passed early this past Friday morning.   Appallingly, none of the lawmakers from the House or Senate who voted for or against the bill had time to read all the way through this 2,200-page bill they received at midnight the day it was passed.   Americans have been betrayed by both parti

DOES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BUDGET “BACKWARDS”? by Jake  MacAulay   What was our Founding Fathers’ attitude regarding debt? “We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.” Thomas Jefferson later remarked,  “I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution. I would be willing to depend on that alone for the reduction of the administration of our government; I mean an additional article taking from the Federal Government the power of borrowin

Celebrating the Life of a Devoted Christian and American, Billy Graham by Jake MacAulay Why is it not surprising that world-famous evangelist, Billy Graham, who accomplished so much for the kingdom of heaven on this earth, was an American?  Of course, much of it had to do with his unrivaled work ethic, his personal testimony, and his bravery to speak to and where others cowered before him, but overwhelmingly it had to do with the foundation of faith, liberty, and the prosperi
