A friendly Reminder

Our President and Constitution Share the Same Enemies by Jake MacAulay In his classic book Democracy in America (1835), Alexis de Tocqueville of France observed: “There is no country in the whole world in which the Christian religion retains a greater influence over the souls of men than in America; and there can be no greater proof of its utility, and of its conformity to human nature, than that its influence is most powerfully felt over the most enlightened and free nation

Are Local Gathering and Mask Mandates Constitutional? by Jake MacAulay You’re a good parent. Let’s suppose you think it wise to buy a watchdog in order to protect your little girl from any intruders who may wish to do her harm.   After a little time, the puppy you bought becomes a full-grown animal. His muscles become fully developed, his teeth are big and sharp, and now he towers over your little girl. You are worried that he is becoming too aggressive and one day you look o

Rioters Threaten, “This isn’t Your World Anymore”  by Jake MacAulay Rioters have again converged on Portland neighborhoods chanting, "Every city, every town. Burn the precincts to the ground."   This time, on the 70th night of their lawless attacks, a pair of elderly women met these leftists head-on in Portland, Oregon. The target this time was the city's east precinct.   The station reported that an elderly woman who said she lives in the neighborhood pleaded with the group

Training Up Nazis by Michael Peroutka There are many who are calling for the public schools to reopen.  I am not among them.  Here is why. When I was growing up in the fifties and sixties, the atrocities of the Nazi regime were fresh in the minds of the generation that preceded mine. I recall quite clearly my parents and grandparents discussing and wondering how the German people could have countenanced the brutal and inhuman treatment of fellow human beings. They were also

Protest: The Key to Restoring Freedom by Dominic MacAulay Are you wondering what you can do right now to stand against the Tyranny we are now facing at the hands of our Governors?   Well, the beginning steps to putting a stop to an encroaching government is to find likeminded individuals who share the same passion for liberty that you do. Most people discourage themselves when they think that there just are not enough of us to truly make a difference. This, however is simply

Guess Who Wants to Count Illegal Immigrants in the Census? by Jake MacAulay Recently one of our long-standing Institute on the Constitution students and supporters had a family member unload on her in a Facebook rant about President Trump's executive order preventing illegal immigrants from being counted in the 2020 census.  Here is just part of the rant:   …Your lawless President Trump again issued an executive order that directly contradicts the Constitution of the United

Face Mask Tyranny is Here by Jake MacAulay This past weekend theblaze.com reported, “A woman has gone  viral  after reportedly pepper-spraying a couple having a picnic in a San Diego, California, dog park — allegedly because they weren't wearing face masks while eating their lunch.”   The masked woman called the couple “idiots” and stuck up her middle finger at the two dining before deploying pepper spray at them and their food. She apparently felt force was necessary to kee

Questions to Ask a Candidate by Michael Peroutka What do you say when someone running for office asks for your vote? Let’s say someone knocks at your door and they smile and tell you that they are running for State Delegate or State Representative or State Senate, or maybe for some County office like County Council or Sheriff. Maybe they are running for Congress or the US Senate.Let’s say you know little about them except that they are polite and make a nice appearance. They

FACE MASK LAWS ARE PRETENDED LEGISLATION by Michael Peroutka There is no law that requires you to wear a facemask. Likewise, there is no law that requires a place of business to require you to wear a facemask while visiting their property.    If there was such a law in Maryland, it would be the result of a constitutional legislative process whereby both houses of the Maryland General Assembly voted on it favorably. *1   If it then received the Governor’s signature it would be

Government Fraud Against the American Church by Jake MacAulay This past weekend I had the privilege of joining a group of amazing Patriots in Virginia. As I entered the church, I found myself in a time jump back to when things were normal. There was not a single mask to be found in the entirety of the church. People worshipped their Creator unencumbered by coercive burdens laid upon them by the state.   While it was refreshing to experience biblical Christianity for the weeke

When the Bully Says Shopping Without a Mask is a Crime by Jake MacAulay This weekend I went shopping for a tank top for my son at a local retailer. I walked in the store like a normal human with shoes, shirt, and pants. While I headed to the men’s department, an employee proclaiming my inconsiderate oversight accosted me. I didn’t wear a mask, a mandate given by the governor of my state. I responded with, “I have a condition,” and continued walking.   My son followed me and s

Black Lives do Matter; Read the Constitution’s Three-Fifths Clause by Jake MacAulay We are barraged again by war in our midst, a war over something as diabolical and nonsensical as skin color. This war has been with us since the creation of man in God’s own image, and its root is an innate hatred towards God, best reflected in the discriminatory destruction of our fellow man due to any quality, as seen in the case of Cain and Abel. This hatred is a sickness we bring upon ours
