The Constitutionist Free Newsletter Items, Opinions and News Gathered From Everywhere By Steven Maikoski Author: The Real Constitution and its Real Enemies Large Print?   A few of my readers have informed me that they need large print newsletters. If you're one of them, please let me know and I will work out a system for you. I thought I had solved some earlier problems, but now worry that the problems were not actually solved and people just got tired of trying.  Lets get this moving. The recent Trump portraits deliver a strong message:  It’s not personal, it’s strictly business. One of Donald Trump's greater critics over the years has been CNN's Jim Acosta. Today he announced that he is quitting CNN. Upon hearing the news, Donald Trump couldn't resist criticizing him again, which I wish he had not done.  I don't think Acosta is leaving the arena. He has a massive ego, believes fully in his liberal politics and doesn’t like Donald Trump and conservatism one bit. P...

 1-26-2025 Confirmation Hearings prove some senators are idiots... The Constitutionist Free Newsletter It hasn’t been a week since Trump took office, yet the changes he has put in motion have come as a shock to many leftists.  It is like a Shock and Awe attack on the leftist cult, especially those employed by the federal government.  What? We have to actually go to our offices to work—if we still have a job?   One upset woman posted on X that some people now would have to figure out commuting and child care.  She actually believes that working Americans, who do this all the time, will care. Most of Trump’s actions were predictable, but his renaming a mountain and the gulf were surprises to me.  The executive order for these actions is titled “Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness,” the last three words of which explain much of  Trump’s executive philosophy. Usually, renaming places takes a lot of work through various bureaucracies, those p...

47’s first 48 The Constitutionist The Constitutionist Free Newsletter Items, Opinions and News Gathered From Everywhere By Steven Maikoski Author: The Real Constitution and its Real Enemies I need to start this newsletter out with an important legal note. The issue over birthright citizenship depends on one important phrase in the 14th amendment.  It gives citizenship to a child born of a person who is "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" in the state which they reside. In other words, if they are already a legal resident of the state.   At some point, some judge claimed that this phrase meant that just by their presence, they have to obey the traffic laws and such, like everyone else, which opened the door for illegal immigrants and anchor babies.  Of course, he did not take into account the fact that they were here illegally, therefore not obeying the laws of the jurisdiction.   Remember those words:  Subject to the jurisdiction thereof. If you are at a compu...

It's not personal - It's CONSTITUTIONAL  The Constitutionist  The Constitutionist Free Newsletter. -  Items, Opinions and News Gathered From Everywhere By Steven Maikoski Author:  The Real Constitution and its Real Enemies constitutionist@protonmail.com I was seven years old when my Mother bundled us up in winter clothing and took us to President Eisenhower’s inauguration in 1957.  Even though Mom was elated with seeing the President, I remember wondering why everybody liked that old bald guy, who rode in a black car without a roof.  Getting back to our warm home was a relief.  Our babysitter, Mrs. Beyer, had been taking care of my little sister and brother while we were at the parade. Little did I know that in the following December that we would move to Panama’s Canal Zone, where we wouldn’t experience cold for another four years. Preserving the D-Lie :  In Biden’s sorrowful farewell address, he referred our democracy seven times, claiming that ...

 Federalist #1 Revisited – Panama Notes January 12 As Inauguration Day approaches, I feel that we are repeating history, because over these last four years our federal government has been managed by a group that has avoided our Constitution’s design in every way it could and every day it could.  Perhaps I should be more accurate and say that they crapped over every facet of our federal government and left our nation in terrible shape.  Now, the promise of a proper, constitutional government is only a few days away. Like the light breaking over the eastern horizon from a rising sun, we see the promise of a new day in America.  Just a few more days…. Our nation has been here before, some 238 years ago.  It was then that Alexander Hamilton (whose birthday was on December 11) wrote Federalist Paper #1, a magnificent writing where he also referred to a better day.  Here are a few sections of Hamilton’s writing where I have changed just a word or two from the ori...

  Burning DEI and LGBTQ January 9, 2025 The fires in Los Angeles should bring about the end of DEI and LGBTQ’s influences in politics.  The cynosure in these matters is the fire chief of Los Angeles, Kristin M. Crowley, whose hiring philosophy abandoned true competence to bring in more women and, well, more confused people who identify as something other than what God made them. Crowley is firmly gay and favors DEI hiring. Alex Jones was blatant in his criticism: “And the new, female lesbian fire chief of L.A. says my main job is bringing women in and gay people in.  “No, your main job was doing fire breaks and getting the best firefighters. But no!  You don’t do that!  Oh, we are so impressed!  You can eat pussy! We better let you burn the city down!”   Then he called her “a dumb whore!” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was on a diplomatic mission in Ghana when the fires broke out.  Ok, try to explain why a mayor of a city is on an international mis...
