THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO INFORM OUR PUBLIC FUNCTIONARIES OF THE LIMITS TO THEIR PROPERLY DELEGATED DUTIES.
Use this excellent presentation by Ayn Rand as a tool to do just that!
It brings me no joy to challenge such a highly-respected, well-positioned and intelligent man like Newt Gingrich; however his incorrectly calling President Donald J. Trump “The De Facto President” is of such consequence to the American People’s Understanding of the MAGNIFICENT REPUBLIC that has been given to us, that I feel compelled to do so.
President Trump is the De Jure President-Elect. That is because he was duly elected to the De Jure Office of the Presidency on November 5, 2024.
Usurper Joe was, is and will always be the De Facto President. That is because he was illegally installed into the Office of the Presidency, not elected.
As a consequence of there being so much irrefutable evidence that the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen, the State election tallies should never have been certified by Congress on January 6, 2021.
In fact, that certification should be reversed even still to this day (fraud vitiates everything which, in legal terms means that fraud voids out or cancels everything and there is no statue of limitation on fraud) See Section 11 of US v Throckmorton 98 US 61. 25 L. Ed. 93, 98 US 61 (October Term, 1878).
My sincerest prayer is that Newt Gingrich will read the article entitled Why Should We Care About Norton v Shelby County where he will find a link to the lynch pin case Norton v Shelby County, TN 118 US 425 (1886) so that he himself can read how a unanimous (9-0) Supreme Court decision of 1886 is so critical to our understanding the terms of our Republic including De Jure and De Facto.
Under the "stare decisis" 9-0 unanimous US Supreme court decision made in Norton vs Shelby County, TN 118 US 425 (1886), the Presidential election of 2020 should never have been certified.
This is because the entire election process, from illegitimate start to illegitimate finish, was a sham under the rules of the De Jure American (Magnificent) Republic.
In retrospect, temporarily-seated State Legislatures in so-called “Battleground States” committed multiple acts of usurpation when they changed how their State elections were to be conducted and/or challenged.
These legislative actions were invalid from their enactment (ie, using third party voting machines to cast and count ballots; the relinquishment of safeguards previously in place, such as removing signature verification protocols; and the absolutely fraudulent manipulation of various States Voter Databases).
Then to make these Acts of Usurpation worse, we saw a complete lack of transparency under any and all hearings at the State Legislative level, along with totally cowardly and compromised Judicial decisions made throughout our Magnificent Republic.
This is no small matter.
Moving forward and looking back, We the People need to examine these Acts of Usurpation and force a return to the limited delegated authorities (better defined as DUTIES) that We the People have granted to our subservient governmental Departments/Agencies.
That said, President Donald J. Trump has accomplished an historic phenomenon.
He was, is and will be the President of our Magnificent Republic for three terms.
Team Republic salutes his extraordinary place in the history of our MAGNIFICENT REPUBLIC.
Join us in this opportunity to educate ourselves and our progeny by becoming a Member of the Magnificent Republic.

In Isaiah 27:1 the Leviathan is used as a symbol for the wicked kings of the earth who withstand God’s people. The great power that wicked nations wield can be terrifying, but God assures His children that evil, no matter how monstrous, will be defeated: “In that day, the LORD will punish with his sword—his fierce, great and powerful sword—Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea.”
"The Behemoth is a large animal mentioned in Job 40:15–24 as God addresses Job. God’s description of this animal focuses on its great size and strength in comparison to Job’s smallness and human frailty. Modern language has picked up on the biblical description and uses the word behemoth to mean “anything of monstrous size or power.”
Romans 3:23-24 KJV “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”
*****
In an attempt to find the beginning of the string of this tangled Ball of Yarn we call “Government” let us start with a series of events that took place during the time of the founding of our MAGNIFICENT REPUBLIC.
NOTE: With all due respect to God’s great Nations, I humbly analogize France and Great Britain as The Leviathan and the American Government as The Behemoth for study purposes only (AKA The Federal Ball of Yarn).
The Benjamin Franklin Historical Society offers details of the rather well-known facts that in 1775 the world had two Western civilization super powers; France and Great Britain, and the new Americas were a sought-after prized possession of both.
The article states that “In November 1775 the Continental Congress created the Committee of Secret Correspondence to communicate with sympathetic Europeans and seek their support. Agents had the authority to conduct international diplomacy which in this case included aid for the independence cause. In April 1777 Congress renamed it Committee of Foreign Affairs.”
What came out of these “secret correspondences” were The Treaty of Alliance and Treaty of Amity and Commerce that were then signed between representatives of the friendly union of the American colonies and France’s King Louis XVI.
This Benjamin Franklin Historical Society article then states that “The Treaty of Alliance called for mutual defense in case France or the Union was attacked by the British. One of the clauses in the treaty specified that neither country could seek a separate peace agreement with Britain.”
The American Declaration of Independence was ratified in 1776.
The Articles of Confederation were ratified in 1777.
The American Revolution was fought from 1775 to 1783.
The American Revolution ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783 that superseded the Treaty of Alliance.
In a form of usurpation, the US Constitution was drafted, signed and ratified in September of 1787 to replace the Articles of Confederation that were agreed to 10 years earlier.
After President George Washington nominated and the Senate confirmed the appointment of John Jay as the first Chief Justice of the United States in 1789, Chief Justice Jay went on to “negotiate a treaty with Great Britain” in 1794 which became known as the Jay Treaty (formally known as The Treaty of Amity Commerce and Navigation), between "His Britannick Majesty; and The United States of America, by Their President, with the advice and consent of Their Senate."
Did this “treaty” supersede and replace the Treaty of Amity and Commerce (thereby breaking their promises with France)? I have yet to untangle this particular section of the Federal L and B Ball of Yarn.
More pertinent to this study are the questions: “Why was the Chief Justice of the Judicial Department “negotiating a treaty” with any foreign country when just 7 years earlier Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the US Constitution specifically gave the authority to make treaties to the Executive Department not the Judicial Department?” and “Why would our first President George Washington ignore the very concept of the separation of powers that became part of the foundation of our entire governmental system?”
According to an article posted to George Washington's Mount Vernon website, “Thomas Jefferson wrote privately to James Madison, his close confidant, ‘the President, tho’ an honest man himself, may be circumvented by snares and artifices, and is in fact surrounded by men who wish to clothe the Executive with more than constitutional power’.”
In fact, as this article continues, the opposition press of the day seemed to stir up public unrest because “the President was overstepping his authority in negotiating the Jay Treaty.”
This very interesting article goes on to say that Thomas Paine turned on his friend George Washington by stating that “Monopolies of every kind marked your administration almost in the moment of its commencement. The lands obtained by the revolution were lavished upon partisans; the interests of the disbanded soldier was sold to the speculator; injustice was acted under the pretence of faith; and the chief of the army became the patron of the fraud.”
WoW, harsh words that were never taught in any “public” school I ever attended!
Then on September 11, 1795 an anonymous writer, using the pseudonym Belisarius, listed the various grievances that he accused President Washington of committing (This writer called them “the progressive steps which have led to the way to the present public evils”).
The last grievance listed was “GW’s “unconstitutional appointment of the Chief Justice … as Envoy Extraordinary to G. Britain,” an “unconstitutional negociation” in which GW acted without “the privity and participation of the Senate,” and an “unconstitutional treaty.””
So, when the third department of government (The Congress) noticed that the other two departments of government (The Executive and the Judiciary) were usurping authority never granted to them by The People, what did they do?
Let’s take a look at the beginning of the Federal L & B Ball of Yarn String called Congress, shall we?
In the first century or so of the American experiment in self-government (1620-1754), many of the individual colonies had Governors appointed by the King of England and Provincial Assemblies (also referred to as Provincial Congresses) that represented the governing bodies of the colonists.
Encyclopedia dot com gives a good Overview of early American-style representative government in the colonies while we were still under “British” rule. As the article indicates, things started to fall apart for various reasons in or around 1754. That was when “Benjamin Franklin called for a union of the colonies.”
This Overview mentions Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu and his essay entitled The Spirit of The Law (which is too voluminous to read in its entirety before the publication of this commentary on the Federal L & B Ball of Yarn, but it is no doubt worthy of a reading – another thing we never did in the public schools I attended).
In Book II Chap. I. entitled "Of the Nature of Three Different Governments" Montesquieu makes the following observations:
“THERE are three species of government; republican, monarchical, and despotic. In order to discover their nature, it is sufficient to recollect the common notion, which supposes three definitions, or rather three facts: “That a republican government is that in which the body or only a part of the people is possessed of the supreme power: monarchy, that in which a single person governs by fixed and established laws: a despotic government, that in which a single person directs every thing by his own will and caprice.””
And
“The misfortune of a republic is, when intrigues are at an end; which happens when the people are gained by bribery and corruption: in this case they grow indifferent to public affairs, and avarice becomes their predominant passion. Unconcerned about the government and every thing belonging to it, they quietly wait for their hire.”
NOTE: Montesquieu’s The Spirit of the Law was published in the French language in 1748 and translated into English in 1752.
Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton are all identified as “careful readers” of Montesquieu on this Liberty Fund website.
When “things started to fall apart,” these men saw that of the three species of government identified by Montesquieu, the “republican form of government” was the obvious choice de jour, but it wasn’t until 1774 when the First Continental Congress was formed.
This was when the Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress “established the course of the Congress.”
It included the following Resolution #10. “It is indispensably necessary to good Government, and rendered essential by the English Constitution, that the constituent branches of the Legislature be independent of each other; that, therefore, the exercise of Legislative power in several Colonies, by a Council appointed, during pleasure, by the Crown, is unconstitutional, dangerous, and destructive to the freedom of American Legislation.”
This document was considered by Michael Boldin of the Tenth Amendment Center to be the precursor to not only the Declaration of Independence but also the Bill of Rights.
And yet, the earliest Federal Congress behaved, even then, like a “Council appointed, during pleasure, by (themselves)" even though they were warned that such consolidated control is “unconstitutional, dangerous, and destructive to the freedom of American Legislation.”
So, how did the Article III strict delegated authority for Congress to “from time to time ... ordain and establish ... inferior courts" become a mandate to enact the cumbersome and overblown Judiciary Acts of 1789 that has set the stage for an unimaginable string of legal cases and statutes and regulations and judicial “opinions” ad nauseam ...
... to the point that today we are faced with the same “snares and artifices” of the current “administration” that has been installed as the Executive Department when it informs us that “President Biden will deliver bold action and immediate relief for American families as the country grapples with converging crises. This will include actions to control the COVID-19 pandemic, provide economic relief, tackle climate change, and advance racial equity and civil rights, as well as immediate actions to reform our immigration system and restore America’s standing in the world.”
Under what authority does our Federal L & B Ball of Yarn government “control pandemics, provide economic relief, tackle climate change, advance racial equity and civil rights, reform our immigration system or restore anything?”
ALL THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO IS TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE US CONSTITUTION AND LAWS MADE PURSUANT TO IT and thereby protect the American Citizens against enemies both foreign and domestic.
The US Supreme Court of 1886 saw this coming when they decided Norton v Shelby County, TN 118 US 425. They watched the usurpation of commission; they saw the abdication of delegated authority; they warned us of the “revolutionization” of our MAGNIFICENT REPUBLIC into a democracy (which they called “repugnant” in Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph v The State of Oregon 223 US 118 in 1921) and most recently when, just this year, the brave and honorable Judge Aileen Cannon detailed at length in her decision that the appointment of Jack Smith as Special Counsel was in violation of The Appointments Clause and the Appropriations Clause of the US Constitution in US v Trump Case No. 9:23-cr-80101-AMC in the US District Court, Southern District of Florida, West Palm Beach Division on July 14, 2024.
We have a long way to go to completely untangle the Federal Leviathan and Behemoth Ball of Yarn that We the People have allowed to get tangled up in the first place, but I truly believe that education is the key to success.
Join the MAGNIFICENT REPUBLIC. Bring your scissors and your reading glasses.
We Have a Big Ball of Yarn to Untangle.
