Good summary about traveling versus driving and a car versus a motor vehicle, from FamGuardian: “A state Citizen has the right to travel on the public easements (public roads) without being registered. A statutory “U.S. citizen” does not. It is a privilege for a foreigner to travel in any of the several states. If you are […]

Taylor Swift writes about ‘State of TN’ not Tennessee
For a singer-songwriter, Taylor Swift wrote an awkward post about voting. She said she will ‘be voting in the state of Tennessee’ rather than just Tennessee. She encouraged everyone to ‘register to vote in the state of TN’. Whoever wrote the post for or with Taylor could have easily said Tennessee, not ‘state of Tennessee’ […]
Packers stadium displays odd three-stripe flag not Wisconsin flag
Affidavit for passport, by Roger Sayles
See this affidavit for a passport, shown below, written by Roger Sayles, in which one asserts that one is a state citizen (e.g., Californian), not a U.S. Citizen (e.g. Federal Citizen; e.g., Puerto Rican). Since reading the six papers from NativeBornCitizen.com and the essay by Merle about two governments, it’s clear that those born on the […]
Regulation says “subject to its jurisdiction”, and clarifies the 14th Amendment
A tweet from @nothanksIRS clarifies the awkward wording of 14th amendment by citing a clearer regulation: It says a “citizen” is a person “born or naturalized in the United States” AND “subject to ITS jurisdiction”. So citizen = subject “U.S.” here refers to the federal government. That’s why they say “ITS jurisdiction” and not “their jurisdiction”Being […]
Treaty of Paris says each of the United States is sovereign and independent
The Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolutionary War, notes that each state, such as Vermont or North Carolina, is “sovereign and independent“. In contrast, United States of America is an association created to manage specific delegated duties assigned by the states, in this case ending the war. USA is not a country. Each […]
Casino may win in federal court but this is a state issue
The mass-murder at the MGM Grand Casino prompted the casino to sue the survivors to prevent them from suing the casino. The casino claims that a federal law related to terrorist attacks makes the casino immune from lawsuits. Even if the casino can stop federal lawsuits, this would not stop state lawsuits. However, I don’t […]
When they say ‘you are…’, they are saying ‘you all are…”
The phrase or verb formation ‘You are’ is always plural and to make this point, just pretend to hear ‘You all are’. This came to mind when I overhead a Southerner saying, ‘C’mon y’all’. The phrase ‘y’all’ came about naturally because we are taught to use ‘you are’ in a singular and plural sense, depending […]
The informer writes about State, United States, Includes
I posted a page with an essay by the informer called ‘State, United States, Includes.’ It focuses on Title 26 of the U.S. Code, which deals with taxes. The study of taxes helped me see that ‘United States’, in many cases, refers to the current territories of the Federal Government, such as Guam, Puerto Rico, […]
Bakers vs. Butchers: Why did the Constitution protect a baker but not a butcher? Comparing Masterpiece Bakeshop to Slaughterhouse Cases
Why could a Colorado baker in 2018 Supreme Court case claim the Constitution protects him from a State government, but a Louisiana butcher in 1869 could not? The baker won his case likely by claiming to be a U.S. citizen (a federal citizen), rather than a Colorado Citizen (a State Citizen). This might seem confusing to […]
