Only the states can prevent totalitarianism
States have far more rights in rejecting executive orders, federal education directives and illegal immigration than the Left wants them to know
November 3, 2020 should be marked down as the day the coup to overthrow the democratic republic that is the United States of America began. Of course Democrats stole the election. There are multiple incidents of ballot stuffing, illegal votes cast and probably electronic voting machine fraud that prove it.
Apparently, no one cares. At least not those who could have put down this coup attempt before a sham of a president was installed in office. Now, thanks to that miscarriage of justice, the Democrats have just over 22 months to change the shape of U.S. government. They fully intend to build a Fascist police state within our borders.
Even though I do not believe much of the legislation they intend to pass will be upheld by the Supreme Court — a minority opinion on the Right, I must confess — we have already seen what Biden’s handlers are willing to do via his signature on executive orders and directives. Packing the Court to get the outcomes they want is not beyond the realm of possibility with these subversives.
The evils of H.R.1 and other equally heinous bills are now looming as Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) brings her pet legislation before the House for a vote. That is not the only piece of sinister statute the Democrat Fascists are attempting to ramrod through by using the slimmest majority in the history of either chamber of Congress.
Power, prestige and privilege have long been the motivating factors in Washington, D.C. Our Founders and Framers knew this day would come. That is why they installed the “poison pills” of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments in the Constitution.
The language of those last additions to the Bill of Rights is simple, but could not be more powerful.
The Ninth simply says, “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
The Tenth is perhaps even more authoritative: “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.”
Therein lies the way of victory over tyranny planned by the Fascist Democrats. At least two states are already flexing their muscles and using the clout these amendments provide them. More will follow.

For example, take Biden’s executive orders. Oklahoma and North Dakota have passed laws granting the state’s attorney general and state legislature the authority to review the president’s executive orders to determine their constitutionality at the federal level. If the attorney general determines an executive order to be unconstitutional, he can recommend to the legislature that it pass a law negating the order in those states.
Daniel Horowitz, senior editor of TheBlaze, observed, “This bill is probably the single most direct and effective way of countering federal power-grabs.”
State legislatures could block Biden’s mask mandate, transgender agenda in school sports, and racially biased orders in finance and commerce, and many others. In fact, many states have enacted or are about to enact laws regarding the Title IX violation Biden’s transgender order allowing biological males to compete in girls’ and women’s sports represents.
What about education? The federal government has been encroaching on local and state responsibilities for primary and secondary education for years.
The benchmark came in 1967 when the Depart of Education — using the endorsement of foundations and applying questionable research — directed public schools nationwide to begin what is essentially social engineering. Teachers were instructed to get students to think a certain way about what they were learning, a precursor to indoctrination. Other programs followed, culminating in President Barack Obama’s Common Core where schools couldn’t get large sums of federal funds unless they adopted the program.
The overall effect of these actions is to give teachers’ unions virtually unlimited power. They have taken control of education across the country. The CCP virus lockdowns greatly added to that power, as shown in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles where teachers literally refuse to return to work “because it’s too dangerous” in spite of the fact the virus effects are negligible to non-existent in students middle school age and under. That’s not to mention the virus’ spread has dropped significantly nationwide through vaccination and “herd immunity” due to the number of people who have been infected.
Multiple states have fully reopened schools. Unfortunately these are states where the teachers’ unions do not hold sway over how schools operate as the do in those three locations. Not surprisingly, most of the open states are so-called “red states.” It is the “blue states” that remain locked down.
Immigration is another venue that states can fight back against the Fascist invasion.

Six years ago, Texas reported that 952 criminal aliens were arrested on homicide charges and 176,000 criminal aliens were jailed for 472,000 crimes between 2011 and 2015. Whose fault was that? The federal government or the state government?
According to the Constitution, the federal government has responsibility for matters of naturalization, and that’s it. Thomas Jefferson unequivocally stated that states retained jurisdiction and authority over all other immigration matters. Authors of the 14th Amendment solidified this point, claiming that states could refuse entry to aliens and their right to acquire property in the states. Nonetheless, the federal government has persistently encroached on states’ rights in this field as state governments acquiesced.
When Alabama passed a stringent immigration law, though, the court upheld that the state had the right to check the immigration status of those they suspect may be illegal entrants; to require all businesses to use E-Verify; and to require all school students to present birth certificates to determine the legal status of their parents.
If states restricted immigration in their states, illegal immigration would either subside or gravitate to sanctuary Democrat-led states. That needs to happen, and happen quickly.
States can also bring a screeching halt to so-called “cancel culture” — which we at America’s Conservative Voice call by its real name: Fascism.
Congressional Democrats sanction the fascist speech suppression and cancellation policies of Big Tech companies. To stop these fascist policies, states must take action.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has moved against these companies. He has introduced legislation that will “check the growing power and influence of big tech” and let Floridians “reclaim their privacy.” He has suggested fines of $100,000 per day for de-platforming political candidates. Under this new policy, citizens of the Sunshine State would be able to bring charges against these companies for privacy violations, and the Florida attorney general can bring cases against tech companies under the Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
In a similar move, an Idaho Internet provider said it would block Facebook and Twitter from its Wi-Fi service for some customers due to claims of censorship.
Big Tech companies brazenly boast about their power to play judge and jury, knowing full well that the Washington Swamp has their backs. Only states can reverse corporate suppression and cancellation.
Finally, let us return to the evils of H.R. 1.
If H.R. 1 passes, the alleged election fraud of the 2020 election will pervade every future election. As Michael Dorstewitz titled his article in Newsmax on this subject, “Under Democrats new voting bill, all 50 states become California.” What does this mean? Republicans would never win another election.
The Constitution states that state legislatures have the power to set election laws for their states, period. Not courts, governors, secretaries of state. State legislatures. Don’t look to the Congress or Supreme Court to set things straight. States must enact laws that guarantee accurate voting machines, eliminate massive mail-in voting, especially without signature verification, and stress in-person voting.
H.R. 1 has to be stopped and only state legislatures can do it.
These five areas all fall within the purview of the states. The new Democrat socialist government wants to usurp these authorities because they have no regard for the Constitution and know that they couldn’t make these changes if they adhered to the sacred document.
The question is: will the states do the right thing and take back their constitutional power or continue to relinquish it to the federal government?
