Follow up to part 3 of The January 6 Committee and the 14th Amendment
On July 24, Adam Schiff, senior Democrat on the House January 6 Committee, former House manager to impeach Trump, and Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, overseeing the DOJ and FBI, asked Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Donald Trump.
Schiff has been saying Trump should be banned from running for President under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment passed in 1868, referencing Section 3 "engaged in insurrection or rebellion." Schiff and the January 6 Committee continually refer to the "January 6 insurrection."

National Self-Destruction by Appalling Dishonesty - Part 3 of 3
The 14th Amendment, passed by dubious ethical and outrageously coercive means in 1868, facilitated turning the original Constitution and the first Ten Amendments on their head by strengthening Federal power and weakening effective counterbalances to it. Since the 14th Amendment, the nation has progressed from a philosophy of decentralized and limited government to a government increasingly characterized by highly expanded and centralized powers. States’ Rights, once an essential check against excessive executive, judicial, and congressional power has been reduced to a meek whisper. Only recently, under the Trump Administration from 2017 to 2021 and the new conservative majority in the Supreme Court since then, has States’ Rights begun to reemerge as a counterbalance to Federal excesses and potential tyranny.

Precedents for Chaos and Tyranny - Part 2 of 3
The January 6 Committee intends to use the 14th Amendment to block former President Trump from running again in 2024.
The Fourteenth Amendment consists of five sections. The first clause of Section 1 defines who is a citizen:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
This overturned the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision of 1857, which based on previous precedents, denied citizenship to blacks.

Two Tales of Unconstitutional Political Tyranny - Part 1 of 3
The so-called U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6, 2021, “Attack” on the United States Capitol denied genuine bipartisan membership of the Committee over the protest of Republican House leadership and the great majority of Republican Members. The Committee of nine Members consists of seven Democrats and two anti-Trump Republicans appointed by the Democrat Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. The Chairman of the Committee is Democrat Bennie Thompson of Mississippi. The two Republicans are Liz Chaney, Vice Chair, from Wyoming, and Adam Kinizinger of Illinois. Three of the other Democrats are from California: Adam Schiff, Pete Aguilar, and Zoe Lofgren. The other three Democrats are Stephanie Murphy of Florida, Jamie Raskin of Maryland, and Elaine Luria of Virginia. The first public hearing was on July 27, 2021, but prime time TV public hearings did not begin until June 9, 2022. The Committee plans to continue its big-media oriented investigation.

Critical Race Theory Is Driving Away Our Best and Brightest
My father served in the United States Navy from 1930 to 1934. He had been a very fast star running back for the Paragould, Arkansas, Bulldogs in high school. He wanted to go to college and become a high school coach. But graduating from high school at the start of the Great Depression had cut off most of the opportunities for school or good jobs. He was attracted to a U.S. Navy recruiting advertisement for pilot training but failed the test for 20-20 vision. He became a Navy seaplane mechanic but began to hope for something different. A friend suggested he look into a new opportunity posting for a Navy specialty then called “Aerology.” We now call that career field, meteorology—forecasting the weather—all important in aviation. He was good at math so they sent him to aerology/meteorology schools at Annapolis and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It wasn’t long after he left the Navy that he found the airline industry was eagerly hiring meteorologists, and that led to a long and well-paid career in the airline industry. He worked for several airlines but retired from Delta Airlines after 30 years, working in meteorology and related positions.
