Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman

There should be a way Americans could vote for term limits and bypass Congress.

If 90% of the American people support term limits, it shouldn’t be blocked by 500+ corrupt members of congress.

*** end quote ***

Of course, I’d add a few:

  • Maximum age for politicians and bureaucrats should be the full retirement age of social security
  • Minimum age for politicians and bureaucrats should be 21
  • Only politicians, who are vets, can vote to send the military in harms way
  • ALL politicians MUST be native born in the USA with each parent being a US Citizen
  • ALL bureaucrats MUST be a US Citizen 
  • Politicians and bureaucrats may NOT hold “dual citizenships”
  • All politicians and bureaucrats must publish all “investments” 90 days before executing them
  • Politicians and bureaucrats must publish ALL tax returns for the last 20 years
  • Politicians must publish ALL campaign contributions and “gifts” within 7 days of receipt
  • Bureaucrats must publish ALL “gifts” within 7 days of receipt
  • All politicians and bureaucrats must disclose all employment agreements within 7 days of receipt
  • Any Federal Budget deficit makes ALL Federal politicians ineligible for reelection

That’s all that I can think of off the top of my head!

POLITICAL: Who Is Running Our Country?

WAYNE ROOT: The Important Question Isn’t “Who is Replacing Biden?” The Life & Death Question We Should All Be Asking Is, “Who Is Running Our Country?”

by Assistant Editor Jul. 1, 2024 8:30 am

*** begin quote ***

First and foremost, “Who is running the country?”

That’s the question of the century. We now know it isn’t Joe Biden. It was never Joe. So, who is minding the store? Who has run the country for the past four years? Who is running the country right now? Who is making life and death decisions that affect the lives of every American?

Who is running our economy? Who is protecting our Homeland? Who is commanding our military? Who makes decisions about WW3? What if Russia or China attack tomorrow? Who is in charge?

Who has their finger on the nuclear button? Who will respond to a terrorist attack?

Who made the decision to leave our border wide open, and welcome in tens of millions of illegal alien foreign invaders? Who benefits from that decision?

Who decided to persecute Trump and rig trials against him?

Who made the decision to use the DOJ and FBI to persecute the J6ers and torture them in prison?

Who made the decision to force-vaccinate every employee in America through the OSHA mandate? Has Big Pharma bribed the whole government? Does Big Pharma run the FDA and CDC?

And if my prediction has been right from day one…and it’s always been Barack Obama giving the orders, making the decisions, and running the country as the de facto President of the United States…

We have an unelected, unConstitutional, “Manchurian Candidate” running America. 

*** end quote ***

I agree that this is the MOST important question!

We know that Woodrow Wilson and FDR were infirm at the end of their terms and that wives were running things or were at least thought to be running things.

Time for a Constitution amendment establishing an upper age limit for politicians and bureaucrats.  

I’d suggest that it’s the Social Security full-benefits retirement age!  In addition to term-limits for every elective office.

Argh!

POLITICAL: Perhaps time to reform how SCOTUS are filled

Saturday, April 13, 2024

Far-Left Calls for SCOTUS Justice Sotomayor Retirement Reveal Dems Believe in Trump Victory.

*** begin quote ***

Democrats are increasingly calling on Justice Sonia Sotomayor to resign from the Supreme Court before the 2024 presidential election, suggesting a widespread belief that former President Donald Trump will win.

Sotomayor is 69, a lifelong diabetic, and the oldest liberal member of the court. Should Trump win the election and Sotomayor need to retire in the next four years due to her health, conservatives could secure a 7-2 majority.

*** end quote ***

Maybe each President should get to select one Justice in each term.  Nine justices times 4 years is a 36 year term.  Seems like “lifetime” is impractical in today’s life spans.  So, stagger their terms.  Each President gets to pick one.  Still have the problem of death, disability, and retirement,  but it would be better than the chaos that we have around election time.

And, I’m not so sure that a 7-2 conservative majority is a sure thing.  Given how the justices seem to be all closet liberals.

Sigh!

POLITICAL: Some ideas to get the Gooferment under control

The Worst Form of Government
9/12/2022, 9:27:23 AM · 17 of 17

*** begin quote ***

Excellent and very important points. At the very least there have to be more checks placed on power, at all levels. Term limits are essential, but is just one of many, many things that have to change.

As an incomplete but initial list I would place:

1. Strict irreversible term limits, with a cap on the total number of cumulative years in all offices combined (NO CAREER POLITICIANS, EVER). This should include heads of agencies etc., (e.g. no Anthony Fauci type careers).

2. Each and every agency has to have hiring done by a revolving citizens committee and cannot do their own hiring, ever. It’s an essential step to prevent a deep state bureaucracy.

3. No guaranteed government pensions. Every government employee should be on a 401K type plan like the rest of us.

4. All government salaries, at all levels should be determined by a public vote.

5. No city or region in the nation can have more than 2 government agencies, and the locations of those agencies should reflect the regional diversity of the nation.

6. Absolutely no insider trading of any type. Those holding federal office cannot hold or trade securities (etc.) unless done within a private trust that they have no input into or intimate knowledge of.

7. Voting must be done in person, except for the military, with at least 2 official forms of identification. Knowingly participating in fraudulent voting at any level is an automatic unappealable year in prison, at minimum.

These are just an initial list. There are many, many more things that have to be addressed and codified. In general, being in public office should have very, very few perks, and the fundamental principle that all in public office are employees who serve at the pleasure of the citizens needs to be front row and center and in the face of anyone who wants to pursue public office at any level. The stature of politicians should be no more than anyone else in society.

*** end quote ***

And what makes anyone think that politicians and bureaucrats would ever allow this to pass into effect?

Argh!
