How many more examples does the left have to give to highlight that America is not the country they want? The idea of what they think a country should be and do is so disconnected and untethered to what America is and should be. California is lost, just like London; immigration has destroyed it, and it is lost forever. Those are not American flags the ICE demonstrators are waving, they are other Spanish-speaking countries’ flags. Just let the whole West Coast of America go. Let them break from the union and let them dance in the raindrops of their delirium, let them be sodden from their Marxist storm.

There is no coming to terms with people that believe all the batshit things they believe. This divide in America is not bridgeable, I am sorry, Mr. Lincoln, the union did not and could not hold. Just let them go, give these people their nation to destroy, and do not spend a moment in time trying to save them, they are lost, and they will never find their way back, not ever. Any attempt to bring them to a logical heel is irrational; let them go. Their dream is not American. Let us look backward to find a path forward.

Texas v. White (1869): This landmark Supreme Court case, decided after the Civil War, solidified the legal principle that the Union is “indissoluble.” The Court stated that when a state enters the Union, it enters into an “indissoluble relation” and that there is “no place for reconsideration, or revocation, except through revolution, or the consent of the States.” We need to change that, we need to find a peaceful and legal path for states to break away.

It is time for the Constitution to be changed yet one more time. Half this nation cannot live under the yoke of the other half, and as a people, we are smart enough to find a way without violence this time. The U.S. Constitution, a testament to enduring governance, provides a rigorous two-step process for its amendment, ensuring that alterations are deliberated and broadly supported.

The first step, proposal, can occur in one of two ways: either a two-thirds vote of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or, less commonly, by a national convention called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures. Once proposed, an amendment moves to the second step: ratification. Here, too, there are two distinct paths, with Congress dictating which method is used: either three-fourths of the state legislatures must approve the amendment or three-fourths of state conventions specifically called for ratification must do so.

This deliberately challenging framework, requiring supermajorities at multiple stages and bypassing presidential involvement, underscores the framers’ intent to foster stability and prevent hasty changes to the nation’s foundational document, making constitutional amendments a rare and significant event in American history. Amending the U.S. Constitution is a deliberately arduous process, ensuring changes reflect broad national consensus rather than fleeting sentiments.

An amendment can be proposed by either a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate or by a national convention called for by two-thirds of state legislatures, though the latter method has never been successfully employed. Once proposed, ratification requires approval by three-fourths of the states, either through their respective legislatures (the most common route) or via state ratifying conventions, as was uniquely done for the 21st Amendment.

This dual-layered, supermajority requirement at both the proposal and ratification stages underscores the Framers’ intent to establish a stable framework that is challenging to alter, thereby preserving the fundamental principles of the nation while allowing for necessary evolution over time. Today, America has come to a crossroads. We have been here for a while now. It is time to take separate paths moving forward. I have been publishing this concept for well over a decade, and it has never been more axiomatic than it is today as we watch Los Angeles unfold.

Deuteronomy 28:43-45 New International Version (NIV)The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail. All these curses will come on you.
