In his farewell address in 2017, President Obama said: “…we all share the same proud title. The most important office in the democracy. Citizen. Citizen.” Taken at face value, this citizen is the title of an office, meaning a paid (or unpaid) role in a government or corporation that is a democracy. It is not […]

The author covers the differences between state and federal citizens, and how one inadvertently becomes a federal citizen. He provides answers to ‘trick’ questions such as “Are you a citizen of the United States?” The answer would be ‘no’ for state citizens. On the topic of ‘driving’, which always means ‘for hire’, he notes the […]

Repeat after me, ‘United States’ is a Federal corporation. It’s right there in the federal code, in Title 28: 28 U.S. Code § 3002 – Definitions As used in this chapter: (15) “United States” means— (A) a Federal corporation; (B) an agency, department, commission, board, or other entity of the United States; or (C) an […]

In most bank correspondence, the name on the account is capitalized. A letter may say, “Dear FIRST LAST, We are writing….” All the other words in the email, letter, or even the email subject line will be lower-case, but the name is typed in capital letters. The words are capitalized because banks treat it as […]

It’s called a State of the Union address because The USofA is a union, not a nation-state. The speech is not called the ‘State of the State’ address. Yet again, the truth is right in front of us. Had I not written extensively about this topic recently, another State of the Union might have come […]

Despite Hungary being a member-state of the European Union, Hungarians built a high-tech fence along their southern border. Texas is a member-state of The USofA union. Will Texans build a fence or wall along their state’s border? Only if they first realize they have a nation-state. Perhaps since the EU is relatively new, Hungarians still […]

The Trump Administration downgraded the status of the European Union to ‘international organization‘, rescinding the ‘nation-state’ status. This is appropriate since the EU is not a nation-state, it is a union, as the word ‘union’ is in the name. The change affects the EU’s delegation to the USofA. This will hopefully slow, what I believe, […]

Relying exclusively on peace officers to stop criminals endangers us. All the people should keep the peace. The people are everywhere, whereas peace officers are not. The people can respond immediately, peace officers must travel to a crime scene. The people immediately know who is a stranger, peace officers may not. A woman fled to […]

When referring to The United States of America, President Lincoln called it a union, not a state or country. Lincoln said, “I do not expect the Union to be dissolved.” We have been mistakenly taught in schools, through songs, and elsewhere that the USofA is a nation or country, when it is really a union, […]
