🇺🇸✝️"The Lincoln Speech Every American Should Read Before America 250 –" RedState

https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2026/06/28/with-malice-toward-none-n2203782 

Abraham Lincoln delivered his Second Inaugural Address on March 4, 1865 

(41 days before he was assassinated)

" Fellow-Countrymen:

At this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement, somewhat in detail, of a course to be pursued, seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself; and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.

On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it—all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war—seeking to dissolve the Union, and divide effects, by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.

One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it.

Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!" If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope—fervently do we pray—that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether."

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."

Hundreds of Planes, of different types, sizes, and speeds, will be on display. It goes from 1:15 P.M. in the afternoon, until 11:30 in the evening. I will be speaking at approximately 9 P.M., preceding the Fireworks which again, like the Airshow, will be approximately ten times larger than any Fireworks in the History of our Country.

Taking back roads significantly increases your travel time. While the fastest highway route takes approximately 41 hours of driving time, opting for non-highway routes increases the total driving time to over 52 hours.

Impact on Your 6-Hour Daily Schedule

- Total Driving Time: ~52 hours.

- Daily Pace: 6 hours/day.

- Total Days on the Road: 9 days.

If you start today, June 21, 2026, driving 6 hours per day on back roads, you would arrive in Washington, D.C. on June 29, 2026.

Important Considerations for Back-Road Travel

- Fuel and Services: Off-highway routes often have fewer gas stations, mechanics, and lodging options. Given your experience troubleshooting transmission issues, you likely know the importance of keeping an eye on your fluid levels and mechanical health, but it is especially critical when traveling on remote back roads where assistance might be far away.

- Terrain and Speed: You will encounter significantly lower speed limits, stop signs, and traffic lights, which account for the dramatic increase in travel time.

- Navigation: While back roads can offer a more scenic experience, GPS systems can sometimes be less reliable on minor roads. It is wise to carry paper maps or ensure you have offline maps downloaded for your entire route.

Given that you are also working on a nationwide outreach project during this trip, the slower pace of back roads might be ideal for distributing your informational materials under windshield wipers, as you will be passing through many more small towns and communities than you would on the interstate.

🇺🇸"Federalist 84, On Why the Founders Did Not Include a Bill of Rights" - American Free News Network

https://afnn.us/2026/05/28/federalist-84-on-why-the-founders-did-not-include-a-bill-of-rights/ 

AI GENERATED 

"

Hamilton’s argument in Federalist 84 highlights a fundamental debate between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists during the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. 

Hamilton and the Federalists originally argued that a Bill of Rights was not only unnecessary but actively dangerous. His logic rested on the concept of explicit, enumerated powers: since the Constitution did not grant the federal government any authority to regulate the press, restrict speech, or interfere with religion, it had no right to do so in the first place. 

Hamilton feared that by explicitly listing certain rights (like freedom of the press), it would imply that the government did have the power to regulate anything left off the list. Essentially, "to list is to exclude." 

---

The Anti-Federalist Pushback & The Compromise

As the article notes, the American public and the Anti-Federalists were deeply skeptical of a centralized authority. They feared a distant federal government would inevitably attempt to expand its power. To secure ratification in key states like New York and Virginia, Federalists ultimately had to promise that a Bill of Rights would be added immediately upon the formation of the new government. 

James Madison, who initially shared Hamilton's skepticism, took the lead in drafting the Bill of Rights in the First Congress. To solve Hamilton's specific warning—that listing some rights would leave others unprotected—Madison drafted what became the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.

| Amendment | The Safeguard Created |

| The Ninth Amendment | Explicitly states that just because certain rights are listed in the Constitution, it doesn't mean the people don't hold other, unlisted rights. |

| The Tenth Amendment | Clarifies that any powers not explicitly given to the federal government belong entirely to the states or to the people. |

The Modern Interpretations

The article and its comments mirror a constitutional debate that continues today:

The "Strict Limit" View: Echoed by the author and the first commenter, this perspective argues that the Constitution was designed strictly to bind the federal government to limited, enumerated roles. They view modern federal expansion into areas like education, local infrastructure, or healthcare as a departure from original intent.

The "Living Constitution" View: Conversely, legal scholars on the other side of the aisle argue that the broad phrasing of clauses like the "Necessary and Proper" clause or the "General Welfare" clause were intentionally flexible, allowing the republic to adapt and manage national challenges that the Founders could never have anticipated in 1787.

The tension Hamilton raised in Federalist 84—balancing the need for an effective national government with the strict preservation of individual liberty—remains the central axis of American constitutional politics.

We are in a mega drought, worse than drought of 1610 but we haven't felt it yet

AI GENERATED 

Research indicates that the Western United States has been locked in a megadrought since the year 2000 which is the most severe dry spell the region has seen in at least 1200 years. While the 1610 drought was a pivotal spike in dryness for the East the current situation in the West is arguably more complex because it involves a fundamental shift in the climate rather than just a temporary lack of rain.

COMPARISON OF 1610 

VERSUS THE MODERN ERA

Regarding the Jamestown and Mid-Atlantic region in 1610 the event lasted roughly six to seven years as the peak of a shorter megadrought. It was driven primarily by natural climate variability like La Nina cycles. The population relied on rain-fed rivers and shallow wells which led to crop failure and salt-water intrusion.

In contrast the Western United States from 2000 through 2026 has faced a duration of over twenty-six years making it the driest period since the 9th century. This is driven by a combination of natural cycles and human-caused warming. The region is heavily snowpack-dependent relying on the Colorado River and the Sierras. The primary threats now include dead pool reservoir levels and catastrophic wildfires.

THE CURRENT TRAJECTORY IN 2026

As of this spring several factors suggest the region remains on a dangerous megadrought path. Early 2026 has been defined by warm snow droughts where precipitation falls as rain rather than snow. Without a deep snowpack acting as a frozen reservoir the water runs off too early leaving summer months critically dry.

Furthermore scientists are shifting from the word drought to aridification. Higher temperatures increase evaporation and suck moisture out of the soil and plants regardless of rainfall. This represents a permanent shift to a drier baseline. Reservoir realities also remain grim as Lake Mead and Lake Powell stay at historically low levels between 27 percent and 33 percent capacity.

THE STARVING TIME VERSUS MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE

The primary difference between modern society and the 1610 settlers is the ability to engineer water solutions. While Jamestown colonists were limited to what they could carry from a brackish river modern states utilize massive aqueducts and groundwater pumping.

However experts argue this infrastructure has only delayed an inevitable reckoning. Groundwater is being depleted faster than it can recharge and Tier 1 water shortages are already triggering mandatory cuts in Arizona and parts of Mexico. While society may not be facing a literal Starving Time the West is entering a period of significant economic and lifestyle adaptation.

https://barrettmedia.com/2026/04/23/jacobs-media-techsurvey-2026-am-fm-radio-hits-all-time-low-as-digital-surges-to-44/

The Jacobs Media Techsurvey 2026 results signal a massive shift in how people consume media. We are witnessing the closing of a 71-point gap that has been narrowing for over a decade.

Key Findings of Techsurvey 2026

For the first time, broadcast radio dominance is under serious threat, as digital consumption has surged to nearly half of all listening time.

1. The Shrinking Gap: Broadcast radio now accounts for 54 percent of listening, while digital has climbed to 44 percent. In 2013, the split was 85 percent broadcast to 14 percent digital.

2. The Demographic Crossover: Gen Z has officially crossed the threshold, with digital listening at 49 percent now surpassing broadcast at 48 percent.

3. Digital Composition: The 44 percent digital share is made up of computer streaming (12 percent), mobile apps (9 percent), smart speakers (4 percent), podcasts (2 percent), and smart TVs (2 percent).

4. The Car Stronghold: Despite the digital surge, the car remains the largest single platform for traditional radio at 37 percent.

Format Performance: Digital vs. Broadcast

The impact of digital varies depending on the type of content being consumed:

Sports Radio: 42 percent Broadcast / 56 percent Digital. This is the only format where digital has lapped broadcast.

CHR Top 40: 54 percent Broadcast / 43 percent Digital. High digital engagement due to younger demographics.

News/Talk: 59 percent Broadcast / 37 percent Digital. The format most anchored to traditional broadcast.

Country and Classic Rock: 59 to 63 percent Broadcast / approximately 35 percent Digital. Maintaining a steady lead in traditional over the air.

Why is this happening

Listeners are expressing frustration with several factors:

1. Ad Load: Listeners complain of 22 to 25 minutes of ads per hour on FM.

2. Repetitive Playlists: Stations playing the same few songs every day.

3. Hardware Accessibility: Fewer modern devices come with built in AM/FM receivers compared to the past.

Modern-Day Example

Just as the season of the handwritten letter gave way to the telephone, and the telephone to the digital message, we are seeing the season of the airwaves transition into the season of the stream. The message—the music, the news, the sports—remains the same, but the vessel used to carry it must adapt to the technology of the day or risk being left in the past.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

 European Countries & Strait of Hormuz Response

🇬🇧 United Kingdom

- Position: Supported maritime security efforts  

- Action: Joined U.S.-aligned patrols in the Strait of Hormuz  

- Reason: British tanker seizure by Iran  

- Summary: Closest alignment with the U.S., but still cautious  

 🇫🇷 France

- Position: Independent approach  

- Action: Proposed a European-led naval mission  

- Reason: Avoid escalation, preserve diplomacy  

- Summary: Same goal, different leadership  

 🇩🇪 Germany

- Position: Declined U.S. request  

- Action: No naval participation  

- Reason: Preference for diplomacy, domestic constraints  

- Summary: Non-participation, not opposition  

 🇳🇱 Netherlands

- Position: Limited support  

- Action: Minor contributions  

- Summary: Quiet alignment  

🇩🇰 Denmark

- Position: Supported European mission  

- Action: Participated in non-U.S. maritime effort  

- Summary: Middle-ground approach  

🇮🇹 Italy & 🇪🇸 Spain

- Position: Hesitant  

- Action: No major involvement  

- Summary: Stayed mostly on sidelines  

 Big Picture

- No unified “Europe vs U.S.” stance  

- Wide spectrum of responses  

- Shared goal: protect shipping  

- Key difference: how to do it  

Bottom Line

- European countries did not try to block the U.S.  

- They mostly chose not to join a U.S.-led mission  

- This reflects strategy differences, not hostility

My thoughts: 

or does it reflect cowardice ?

Ecclesiastes 7:12 — "For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it."

AI GENERATED 

The main reason the number of Americans renouncing citizenship increased during the presidency of Barack Obama was new tax and financial reporting rules affecting Americans living overseas.

Here are the three biggest drivers:

1. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

The biggest factor was the law called Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, passed in 2010.

• It required foreign banks worldwide to report accounts held by Americans to the IRS.

• Banks that refused could face penalties when dealing with the U.S. financial system.

• Because of the extra paperwork and legal risk, many foreign banks stopped serving American clients entirely. 

Result:

Americans living abroad suddenly had difficulty opening bank accounts, getting mortgages, or investing.

2. The U.S. taxes citizens worldwide

The United States is unusual because it taxes citizens no matter where they live.

So Americans living in another country must:

• file U.S. tax returns every year

• report foreign bank accounts

• sometimes pay additional taxes

Many expatriates said this became too complex and expensive. 

3. Enforcement ramped up after 2010

Once FATCA rules started being enforced globally:

• renunciations jumped sharply

• the number went from hundreds per year to several thousand per year. 

Example trend:

• Before 2009: about 200–400 per year

• 2013: about 3,000

• 2014–2016: about 4,800 per year on average 

Important point:

Most of the people renouncing were already living outside the United States, often for decades. Many had another citizenship already and simply wanted to escape the U.S. reporting system.

In simple terms:

The spike wasn't mainly about politics—it was mostly about global tax reporting rules that suddenly made life harder for Americans living abroad.
