seeks to collaborate on the ineluctable truth. Ineluctable means: Not to be assailed, avoided, broken, changed,
escaped, mystified, neglected, obfuscated, rationalized, resisted, revoked, or
voided. Some people erroneously imagine limiting the ineluctable truth, for
example, trying to change it.
"Civic"
refers to citizens who collaborate for individual
happiness with civic integrity more than for the city, state, nation, or
society. Civic citizens neither initiate nor accommodate harm to or from
anyone. Civic citizens are reliably responsible to the good rather than the bad
in connections and transactions.
Consider
writing a personal paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens
mutual appreciation: For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and
paraphrase its proposal as follows: The civic faction in the United-States-republic
continually improves 6 public practices: integrity, justice, safety, strength,
prosperity, and responsibility --- “in order to” motivate good behavior “to
ourselves and our Posterity” I want to improve my interpretation by listening-to and considering other
citizens and their interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787 text,
unless it is amended by the civic-people.
It seems the
Supreme Court occasionally refers to it, and no one with status has challenged
whether or not the preamble is a legal statement. The fact that it changed this
independent country from a confederation of states to a union of states
deliberately managed by appreciative fellow citizens convinces me the preamble
is legal. Equity in opportunity and outcome is shared by the faction who
collaborate for statutory justice, We the People of the United States.
Every citizen
has equal opportunity to either trust-in and collaborate-on the goals stated in
the preamble or be dissident to the agreement. I think 2/3 of citizens try
somewhat to use the preamble but many do not articulate commitment to the goals.
However, it seems less than 2/3 understand that “posterity” implies
grandchildren to both born Americans and legal immigrants. Congressional
freedom of religion, which fellow citizens have no means to constrain,
oppresses freedom to develop integrity. This can be remedied by changing the
First Amendment from “prohibiting” to “promoting”.
Selected theme from this month
The one and only United States republic hated by the Democrat Party
This year, 2026,
the Democrat Party, the “our democracy” aliens has demonstrated that it hates
and wants to destroy the United States republic, made so by the Constitution
drafted in 1787, ratified by 9 states on June 21, 1788 for amendment by the
First Congress, negotiated beginning with 11 states, then ratified under 14
states on December 15, 1791.
Reports who
invented TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, may lend some accuracy by changing to
DPHR, Democratic-Party Hatred to the Republic.

Yesterday, someone asked Director Gabbard, in my
interpretation, "Who is the greatest enemy to the United States
republic?" I recall she answered with names of a couple countries. I'm
convinced she focuses on representing her department rather than her person.
My opinion is that our greatest enemy is the solidarity of
the Democrat Party. And they do all they can to trivialize the republic and its
234 years' flourishing by creating frog and fuzzy parades and skits and using
vile language.
I think the civic faction, We the People of the United
States, as defined by the preamble to the US Constitution, will deny power to
the Democrat Party for three or more generations. I have, in the past,
preferred and voted for the Democrat candidate, and will not make such a choice
again in my city, state, or in the republic.

President Trump promotes the ineluctable truth and admits
that he often does not know it.
We learned that there are 34.7 Irish-American citizens, and
Ireland has a population of 5.5 million; and 77% is Irish. So the US:Ireland
Irish-ratio is 8.2:1. There's a similar ratio for Scotland. There are 45.6
million English-Americans and 41.1 English in England, for a 1.1:1 ratio. It
would not surprise me to learn similar ratios for most of Western European
descendants.
President Trump inspires us. European people could become
curious.
The key to the greatness of the United States republic is
not only its longevity -- 234 years with a negotiated and ratified Constitution
--- but diversity of the civic faction -- We the People of the United States,
as defined by the preamble to the Constitution. Not every citizen chooses the
civic faction; some want democracy, vice, evil, or passivity.
On December 15, 1791, the United States republic put to the
trash bin of history parliamentary-monarchical common law, in order to pursue
statutory justice "to ourselves and our Posterity". Happily,
Posterity includes legal immigrants -- people who join the republic, in order
to pursue goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior rather than democracy.
The English, since July 4, 1776, indeed most Europeans,
never understood that civic Americans accept the power, the authority, and the
responsibility to constrain chaos and badness in their ways of living. They may
not articulate yet live their commitment.
Often, when I perceive I am part of the good behavior, I'm
reminded of the Scots-Irish in me.

It has been obvious since the legal code of polytheistic
Ur-Nammu, 4100 years ago, that goodness constrains the consequences of human
choice.
A Semitic-speaking tribe left Ur 3900 years ago to resist
human sacrifice to provide burnt offerings, but they continued blood sacrifice
to bargain with the gods, using animal and fowl.
Three matriarchs of that tribe grounded competitive
monotheisms on Ishmael, Isaac, and others. A later faction asserted that Yeshua
was the sacrifice for believers only. As a consequence, descendants vie over
faith that they are the chosen people rather than collaborate for goodness.
This group attempts to use the United States Declaration of
Independence from England (1776) to establish precedence over the United States
republic (1791).
They attempt to use goodness to impose Judeo-Christianity on
civic Americans if not Homo sapiens.
This group, the Religious Liberty Commission, knows, yet
does not accept, that allegiance to a religion cannot and will not overthrow
good behavior.

I pity democrats like Garcia, who seem to miss that the
United States republic protects freedom to listen, so that civic citizens may
and can freely recognize lies and vote against liars. The United States
Constitution intentionally prevents democratic forms of governance, making it a
unique republic that has succeeded, now for 234 years.

I opine this senator and previous governor is so compromised
he cannot consider humility. I think he, aware or not, represents
Alinsky-Marxist organizations (AMO), another term for DEI, or liberation
theology, or right to feel oppressed. Many modern academicians so warp some
fellow citizens, in order to impose on civic citizens a mantle/badge of
oppressor. Every person has the opportunity to constrain chaos in their choices
for living, no matter what is happening in the community.
Unfortunately, the senator represents the lock-step
Democratic Party against the United States republic, a unique form of
republicanism that is designed to prevent social democracy.
The civic faction, We the People of the United States,
defined by the intentions sentence in the preamble, needs a second political
party. If I saw a need to find a candidate to oppose the Trump-Vance
administration, I would seek a Libertarian.
#USpreambler,#acivicpeople,#goodnesswhich
By clinging to European democracy rather than the United
States republic, the Democratic Party renders itself irrelevant.
The best days of Middle-East collaboration are unlocked and
may pursue goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior.
“Chaos can’t touch what it can’t see.”
I think goodness comes from beholding, considering, and
resisting the chaos.
The United States republic has, for 234 years pursued
goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior “to ourselves and our Posterity”. England and the rest of the world
may and can react to this unique republic, which won independence from
communitarianism/democracy 250 years ago.
The civic faction, We the People of the United States, as defined by the
preamble to the US Constitution, flourishes. Because without articulation, it trusts-in
and commits-to legal immigration and assimilation of people who want good
behavior.

Jeffrey Tucker is one of my favorite thinkers. I hope to
engage his sharing.
After 75 years’ struggle to find a
like-minded church without cultish behavior, I dropped out when they slighted
my wife. I cannot collaborate to slight my wife, especially in the year of her
passing.
I thinking people are drawn to the
Judeo-Christian Bible. Its message is that good behavior is humankind’s
purpose. I now think it would be crazy to not like being unchurched.
In Genesis 1:1-3, God with his
spirit brings light to earth’s beginning. In V26, God assigns to humankind sole
responsibility to rule the earth. The Apostle John, in John 1:1-5, opines that
Yeshua, the Judean who encouraged good behavior to persons and crowds, was the
light. But what does “light” mean?
If light means goodness, then
goodness was a choice before humankind existed. And responsibility to turn
earth’s chaos into order was assigned to humankind. Tribes can collaborate to
goodness.
In 2026, all of us have the
opportunity to discover and practice goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior,
goodnesswhich for short. It is possible to practice goodnesswhich merely by
preserving each other’s opportunity to avoid and resist badness. I don’t think
I would ever have discovered it without Yeshua and my wife.
In Matthew 18:15-17, Yeshua
presents responsibility to either restore harmony or end civic-association when
you perceive someone offended you. Matthew 18:18 affirms Genesis 1:26.

Last year I discovered an idea that assures I would discover and take
the right choice, accepting the possibility of mistake.
Suppose your name is Taylor. I express the idea this way: Taylor and Phil collaborate to discover and
practice goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior (goodnesswhich for short) to
ourselves and our survivors.
Because I depend on you, Taylor, I will not choose to betray you either
directly or indirectly. During life, I work to experience and observe
consequences of choices, in order to prepare to choose goodnesswhich. I may
make a mistake but will not invite badness – will not repeat a mistake.
For example, let’s say a stranger joins our conversation. Eventually, the
stranger claims to be an illegal immigrant and a terrorist. We’re incredulous
and say so. We are happy when the stranger leaves.
A policeman approaches us and informs, “We suspect the person who was with you.
Did they say anything that was suspicious?”
I would respond, “I received only hearsay yet encourage you, officer, to keep
your interest.”
In so responding, I would protect you and me and our posterity from further
liability regarding the stranger and the policeman.
Goodnesswhich is a choice, not a certainty.

In the
United States republic, the civic faction, specified by the preamble,
collaborates to pursue goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior “to
ourselves and our Posterity”.
The civic faction urges passives, resists dissidents and rebels, helps
constrain criminals, resists vice, and aids annihilation of evils.
United States citizens should resist propaganda that the USA is a democracy.
The republic prevents democracy, because statutory justice is essential to
humankind.
The unique United-States-republic amends the Constitution when injustice is
discovered. The statutory rule of law, while expensive, has performed well for
234 years.
Unfortunately, the Democratic Party works to defeat the United States republic.
I see your point about the importance of the rule of law and
the role the Constitution plays in guiding a society. I think stable laws and
institutions can definitely help promote fairness and cooperation.
But when I asked the question, I was thinking more about a
universal principle for individuals rather than about a particular political
system. Something that could apply to any society or culture.
For example, principles like treating others as you would
want to be treated, seeking truth, or trying to reduce harm to others. If
everyone followed something like that, it might encourage good behavior
regardless of the country or system people live in.
What kind of personal principle do you think individuals
themselves should follow?
Kindly follow
PRB
I appreciate
your response, especially, “If everyone followed something like that, it
might encourage good behavior regardless of the country or system people live
in.”
If most citizens and residents accepted the United States republic, as
specified in the US Constitution, the civic faction (defined by the preamble)
could and I think would, returning to my first sentence, “collaborate to [discover and
practice] goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior ‘to ourselves and our
Posterity’.”
America would be great at last, and many governments in the world would
independently support goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior. Goodness does not constrain good
behavior.
Democracy, regardless of form – pure, social, collective, fair, etc. -- fails
as a form of government, because popular opinion often misses that “life,
liberty, and pursuit of happiness” should and must conform to the laws of
physics. For example, physics demands food and shelter with which to sustain personal
journey in life. Also, physics edicts that one life is too short to try to change
sex. Each person has the power, the authority, and the responsibility to
constrain chaos in their personal way of living. Individuals who do are of the
civic faction, worldwide.
It matters not to me if the Democrat Party, the Republican Party, or another
party reforms faster to establish and maintain the United States republic.
the US is indeed a democracy by most
definitions. a republic is a type of democracy.
PRB
Thank you
for your comment.
It’s not just “a” republic: it’s the United States republic, a unique
form of government. It is guaranteed in Article IV, Section 4 of the US Constitution.
Engaged citizens in each state retain personal opportunity
to constrain chaos in their way of living and would never authorize someone
else to choose for them. However, through state constitutions, they empower
local government to provide order in civil affairs, such as waste disposal and crime
constraint. The civic faction in each of 50 states manages subdivisions (by
referendum), cities, counties, and state, often using representative democracy
– one vote per qualified citizen and 50% plus one vote wins an election.
State-constitutional changes are usually effected by referendum. Political
experiments in the 50 states serve as guides for national improvement.
The people in their states authorize a national government that is designed to
gradually discover and practice goodness from generation to generation, as the
laws of physics are discovered. Often, popular hopes and comforts do not
conform to the laws of physics, so US Constitutional change is constrained.
Constraining provisions include the Electoral College for
presidential elections and a split Congress with 2 senators per state (100
senators) and 1 congressperson for each district (435) with about 750,000
constituents. There are other provisions that prevent democracy, such as
Supreme Court justices nominated by the president and approved by the Senate.
Senators serve 6-year terms and Representatives serve 2-year terms, while the
President serves a 4-year term.
Matt Martin:
The United States republic intentionally prevents national democracy.
the US Is just a republic, yes. trying to pretend like it’s
unique won’t help you
none of that proves it’s not a democracy,
bro. you even admit it is a democracy in your second paragraph
“one vote per qualified citizen and 50%
plus one vote wins an election”
no, no, no. one more vote than the next
largest share of the vote wins an election. you could get 21 votes and as long
as the next largest share of the vote is 20 votes, you win.
“The United States republic intentionally
prevents national democracy.”
it
guarantees it, actually. look up amendments like giving women the vote, or
giving minorities the vote.
PRB:
Engaged
citizens in the location of their residence (whether rented or owned) authorize
their local governments including their state. Most state constitutions provide
for democratic elections, wherein one vote can decide the winner.
The same citizens in their states additionally authorize the Union of states,
which by law guarantees to the states the unique United States republic. People
in their states elect their representatives and senators, who compete with
representatives from other states, thereby diluting the individual citizen’s
vote.
Thus, each citizen has opportunity to govern at 3 levels — personally choose
goodness or badness, collaborate respecting their state constitution, and vote
for federal representatives under the United States republic.
There is no rival to the United States republic. Citizens who call it “our
democracy” delude themselves until they discover the benefits of the rule of
statutory justice.
Matt Martin:
how
is it delusional? the US is indeed a democracy so they’re just being accurate.
it clears al hoops needed to be classified as a democracy
PRB;
Here is a quote of the US Constitution:
Article IV Relationships Between the States
·
Section 4 Republican Form of Government
The United States shall guarantee to
every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect
each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the
Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
To
read the above provision and not realize that the civic faction of We the
People of the United States also reads is delusional. And the civic faction
knows that it takes 2/3 in both chambers of Congress plus ratification by 75%
of the states to amend the rule of law that is specified in the US
Constitution.
To read Article IV Section 4 and pretend that the civic faction can be fooled
is self-deceitful.
To think that democracy in the states means a state can choose to secede from
the republic is dangerous. To succeed, that state must have the military power
to defeat the United States of America.
Research informs that San Marino, a parliamentarian republic founded in 301 CE
has more age than the United States republic, second oldest at 234 years.
San Marino citizens are 85% natives, 14.6% Italians, and 97% profess Catholic
faith. The United States population is diverse in ethnicity and religion or
none.

I think Donald J. Trump, during the recent time of his life,
collaborates to discover and practice goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior
"to ourselves and our Posterity".
When he says, "We'll see how it turns out", he's expressing: goodness
neither changes, nor avoids, nor resists good behavior yet will not yield to
badness, much less evil. In other words, the other party may improve Trump's
view of goodness. He wants to preserve life.
Trump demonstrates that he accepts the power, the authority, and the
responsibility assigned to humankind by whatever on earth constrains the
consequences of human choice. (See Genesis 1:26 and ask AI's opinion as to its
meaning.)
I write to Trump to express my support for his and his team's ceaseless

Thank you, JT and commenters for such a rich topic.
My first response is this: Few people understand the United States republic.
This is so, because most people think it's a democracy. This is so, because
most people think like John Locke that its government by consent of the people,
or as Abraham Lincoln hoped, of, by, and for the people.
However, the Constitution, negotiated from the 1787 draft by 12 independent
states then ratified on December 15, 1791 by Congress representing the 14 state
union promises the states the United States republic, which intentionally
prevents democracy through many complex provisions, such as per capita
representation of districts in the House for 2 year terms and 2 representatives
per state in the Senate for 6 year terms, presidential nomination and Senate
affirmation of Supreme Court justices to serve for life, and more.
The civic faction, We the People of the United States, collaborate for good
behavior "to ourselves and our Posterity". The civic faction urges
passives, resists dissidents and rebels, aids constraint of criminals, resist
vice, and aids annihilation of evils. The civic faction collaborates for
statutory justice while they uphold the law.
People who promote civil disobedience are arrogant to the United States
republic and earn whatever penalties they may suffer.
I hope to address other ideas tomorrow.
#USpreambler,#acivicpeople,#goodnesswhich
Phil
Beaver Thanks for interest. I disagree with your penultimate
paragraph. Civil disobedience has been woven into the fabric of Western
civilisation at least since Socrates, with most Western nations now not
exacting the death penalty as at Tiananmin (?) Square. Gandhi was pretty sure
the British would not kill him, which would not have been true of the USSR or
of China. Jury nullification is a form of civi disobedience which I strongly
advocate and which partially neutered the Fugitive Slave Act.
Reply
I don't know which paragraph you refer to. If it begins,
"The civic faction", understanding does not come easy. And I thought
reported the fact that this is a republic rather than democracy was premier.
For example, Gandhi had not agreed to the rule of law, let alone English law.
I doubt there is a professor who approves my interpretation
of Socrates. Socrates knew he was innocent, as he recommended goodness above
the God (Euthyphro Dilemma); was falsely accused, and convicted by an unjust
jury. Yet he took the hemlock, in order to defend the rule of law, unjust as
the adjudication may be. And he could have chosen exile over hemlock. In other
words, his conduct opposes civil disobedience.
Lastly, jury nullification is judicial and lawful in the
United States republic: the accusations may be true but the lawyers failed to
make the case beyond reasonable doubt.
These controversies are well worth our time and
consideration.
To Tristan Pinzone
To quote my mentor, Yeshua in Matthew 19:5, as I see it,
authentic men unite to their spouse, and they become a unit for life unto
grandchildren and their descendants. It seems you know well how to pursue good
behavior (Yeshua's topic).
Jon Hamilton
I agree. First, "civil" is subjective. So is "civility". I
prefer "civic" as in committed to defend and affirm fellow citizens'
opportunities to choose good behavior.
But AI is a reluctant, abundant slave to the curious party. For example, to my
question, "Does God hold humankind responsible to order earth?",
Search Assist responds, "Yes, according to the Bible, God has given
humanity dominion over the earth, which includes the responsibility to care for
and manage it properly. This stewardship means that humans are accountable for
how they treat the environment and all living creatures." I think the
second sentence expresses a DEI bias -- in specifying "care for and manage
it properly".
When I change my query to, "Does God hold humankind responsible to order
living species?", the response is, "Yes, according to biblical
teachings, God has given humankind dominion over living species, which implies
a responsibility to care for and manage them wisely. This stewardship means
that humans are expected to protect and nurture creation rather than exploit
it."
And asking, "Does God hold humankind responsible to order life?",
instead of simple yes, we get, "Many religious beliefs suggest that God
gives humans the freedom to make choices and be responsible for their actions,
implying that individuals play a significant role in ordering their own lives.
However, interpretations vary, and some believe that God's control over events
also influences human responsibility."
I could go on, but I want to come back and focus on my topic, the United States
republic; maybe tomorrow.

Neither Paul nor Peter understood Yeshua, a Judean who influenced good behavior
to contemporaries 2000 years ago. I work for collaboration to discover and
practice goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior "to ourselves and our Posterity",
regardless of religious differences. I learned that from Yeshua, not from a
church.

I think goodness comes to individuals who behold, consider, and
resist chaos on earth.
The United States republic has, for 234 years pursued
goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior “to ourselves and our Posterity”.
England and the rest of the world may and can react to this unique republic,
which won independence from both monarchy and communitarianism/democracy, 245
years ago.
The civic faction, We the People of the United States, as defined by the
preamble to the US Constitution, flourishes. Without articulation, the USA
trusts-in and commits-to legal immigration and assimilation by people who want
good behavior.
The rest of the world can also choose goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior.

If you appreciate living in the unique 234 year-old United
States republic unto states -- whose civic citizens established and maintain
their local constitutions/charters -- which is more serious to public
integrity: wearing a crucifix/none or presenting as a frog/furry: using
American English or imposing alien word-manipulations; earning your desired way
of living or gaming civil-safety-nets; influencing civil citizens to import the
world's children or civically pursuing goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior
“to ourselves and our posterity”?

I conducted an AI experiment to see if I could find support
for my perception that the civic faction, We the People of the United States,
as defined by the preamble, have, during the United States operation under the
ratified Constitution, nearly 235 years, been pursuing order on earth, a
physical entity invoked in Genesis 1:26 (see AI opinion about meaning).
I considered fourteen Search Assist (SA) queries and
responses:
First, The united states republic proffers goodness which
motivates good behavior to ourselves and our Posterity
SA1: The United States Constitution aims to promote justice,
domestic tranquility, and the general welfare, which encourages good behavior
among its citizens for the benefit of future generations. This reflects the foundational
principle that the government exists to serve the people and secure their
liberties.
Second. The united states republic proffers goodness to
ourselves and our Posterity
SA2. The phrase you mentioned reflects the ideals expressed
in the Preamble to the United States Constitution, which emphasizes the goals
of forming a better union, establishing justice, and securing liberty for
future generations. This foundational document outlines the aspirations of the
nation for both its current citizens and those who will come after them.
Third. The united states republic proffers goodness
SA3. The United States republic is designed to promote the
common good through principles of democracy, civic virtue, and the rule of law,
emphasizing the importance of a government that reflects the will and needs of
its citizens. This system aims to ensure that power is exercised responsibly
and for the benefit of all.
Fourth. The united states republic proffers statutory
justice
SA4. The United States operates under a system of statutory
law, which is created by legislative bodies like Congress and state
legislatures. This statutory justice is part of a broader legal framework that
includes constitutional law, treaties, and common law.
Fifth. The united states Constitution proffers statutory
justice
SA5. The United States Constitution establishes a framework
for justice through its judicial system, ensuring that individuals have rights
and protections under the law, including the right to a fair trial and legal
representation. This framework is designed to uphold justice and maintain order
within society.
Sixth. The united states Constitution proffers justice
SA6. The United
States Constitution establishes justice as one of its primary goals, aiming to
create a fair legal system and ensure that laws are applied impartially. This
commitment to justice is reflected in the Preamble, which states the purpose of
the Constitution is to "establish Justice."
Seventh. The united states Constitution proffers goodness
SA7. The U.S. Constitution is designed to establish justice,
promote the general welfare, and secure liberty for its citizens, reflecting
the ideals of democracy and equality. However, it has also faced criticism for
its historical flaws, particularly regarding the exclusion of marginalized
groups.
Eight. The united states Constitution pursues ultimate
goodness
SA8. The United States Constitution aims to establish a
framework for government that promotes justice, liberty, and the general
welfare of its citizens, reflecting ideals of goodness and virtue. It is
designed to protect the rights of individuals and ensure a fair and just
society.
Ninth. The amendable united states Constitution pursues
ultimate goodness
SA9. The United States Constitution is designed to establish
a framework for government that protects the rights and freedoms of
individuals, reflecting the pursuit of justice and the common good. Its
amendable nature allows for changes to adapt to the evolving needs and values
of society.
Tenth. The united states amendable Constitution pursues
actual goodness
SA10. The U.S. Constitution is known for being one of the
most difficult constitutions to amend, which can hinder efforts to address
contemporary issues and promote equality. While it has provisions for amendments,
the process is complex and often results in proposals being rejected,
reflecting a tension between its original framework and the pursuit of social
justice and goodness.
Eleventh. The united states amendable Constitution pursues
conformity to the laws of physics
SA11. The U.S. Constitution is not designed to conform to
the laws of physics; rather, it is a legal framework that governs political and
social order. While the Constitution can be seen as a structured system, its
principles are based on political philosophy rather than physical laws.
Twelfth. The united states amendable Constitution pursues
conformity to reason
SA12. The U.S. Constitution is designed to be a living
document that can be amended to reflect the changing values and needs of society,
ensuring that it remains relevant and reasonable over time. This adaptability
allows for the pursuit of justice and equality as societal norms evolve.
Thirteenth. The united states amendable Constitution
pursues conformity to evidence
SA13. The U.S. Constitution ensures that evidence presented
in court is reliable through various legal protections, such as the
Confrontation Clause in the Sixth Amendment, which allows the accused to
confront witnesses against them. This procedural guarantee helps maintain the
integrity of the judicial process by requiring that testimony be tested through
cross-examination.
Fourteenth. The united states Constitution pursues
conformity to ineluctable evidence
SA14. The U.S. Constitution includes provisions that protect
against the use of illegally obtained evidence in court, primarily through the
Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. This
ensures that evidence must be gathered lawfully to be admissible in legal
proceedings.
Reviewing the journey I took, A, starting with “The united
states republic proffers goodness which motivates good behavior to ourselves
and our Posterity” and slowly paring modifiers, SA responded, 1) good behavior
for liberty, 2) goodness for liberty, 3) common good through democracy; B,
changing to statutory justice, 4) legislation stems from the body of law
literature; C, change to Constitution rather than republic, 5) rights through
fair trial; D, dropping “statutory”, 6) fair and impartial; E, back to
goodness, 7) democracy and equality but flawed; F, adding “ultimate”, 8)
flourishing rather than civic integrity; G, added “amendable”, 9) “common good
per society; H, actual, 10), tension to DEI; I, laws of physics, 11) no: political
philosophy; J, reason, 12) DEI; K, evidence, 13) adjudication; L, ineluctable,
14) evidence censored.
So far, my study informs me that the US Constitution does not affirm Genesis
1:26: Humankind is responsible to order peace on earth. I feel AI did better
with “the United States republic” and deviated to DEI bias and English
precedent when I switched to “the US Constitution”.
I think the intentional user can push AI around. I does not
bother me that my curiosity and writing is complicated. But I perceive that
some fellow citizens are too busy living to aid peace on earth.
#USpreambler,#acivicpeople,#goodnesswhich
Mar 7 The United States
republic, in its Constitution, proffers a humble intention: pursue statutory
justice to civic citizens. That is, collaborate to lessen injustices in the
code of law. The world benefits from the unique United States republic.
The United States Constitution was drafted in 1787 by 12 of 13 independent
states; negotiated after 11 states seated the First Congress, in 1789; amended
by Congress who ratified it under 14 states, in December 1791.
Its preamble proffers, “to ourselves and our Posterity”, six intentions:
integrity, justice, safety, strength, prosperity, and responsibility. The
intentions omit religion, a private pursuit.
The civic faction, We the People of the United States, trusts-in and commits-to
statutory justice. They caution passive citizens, inform dissidents and rebels,
constrain criminals, resist wicked fellows, and aid judicial annihilation of
evils.
Whereas Rome institutionalized Christianity for 30 years ending in 410 CE, the
United States Amendment 1 prevents any theocracy. While the Catholic Church
still has significant influence in Italy’s modern parliamentary republic, the
unique United States republic has thrived for 234 years.
People who tolerate the familiar phrase “our democracy” summons attack on the
United States republic. Defeating this republic would mark the demise of the
United States of America.
Two collectives are attempting to defeat the United States republic: Social
Democracy and Alinsky-Marxist Liberation Theology. I think the civic faction
will prevail and thrive. I'll do my part.
#USpreambler,#acivicpeople,#goodnesswhich

I do not know the ineluctable truth. But I think something
constrains the consequences of human choice. I feel too meek and humble to
attempt to name that mysterious power.
It seems many civic citizens think as I do: Accepting the mystery without objection, most
Americans may and usually can preserve and defend each other’s opportunity to
choose good behavior.
Much of the world acts like God is the mystery. However,
there are nearly 20,000 gods/goddesses and over 4,000 religions on earth. None
can impose doctrine unto the mystery.
I gained this perspective as a Protestant in love with and
united-to a Louisiana-French-Catholic woman -- a unit parenting 3 offspring
until Cynthia’s passing after 56 years’ marriage.
Born American, I cannot witness to many political facts, so
earn opinion: The United States republic
seems outstanding in its response to whatever controls the consequences of
choice.
In 1787, 12 of 13 states, having won independence, drafted authorization
of a nation. The draft does not mention the mystery. Yet the United States
Constitution, which Congress negotiated then ratified in 1791, features
religion.
The 13 original states and today’s 50 states cite God in
their Constitutions. In 1956, our motto became "In God We Trust".
About 2/3 of citizens are Judeo-Christian; that is,
individuals debate personal humility to the Bible, from Genesis 1 through
Revelations 22. But the Constitution accommodates non-theistic citizens who
also pursue goodness yet without coercing belief in specific religious
literature.
The civic faction has trouble explaining the goodness of the
United States republic. I think more than freedom of speech; freedom to listen,
think, and choose is key to the greatness of the civic faction, We the People .
. . “to ourselves and our Posterity”. The preamble to the Constitution proffers
pursuit of goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior.
Human tendency may be seen in the behavior of children.
Fortunate is any adult who never relaxed newborn-thirst to practice goodness.
Civic people nourish childlike goodness by considering
stories in precious literature they choose. Some choose bad influence. The
civic faction of the United States republic holds opportunity to choose
goodness essential to humankind. For the recent 234 years, the civic faction
has kept America great and facilitates pursuit of goodness.
I hope these thoughts will help citizens share goodness to
self and posterity among the neglected civic faction on earth. The United
States republic’s action that could free Persians in Iran offers a pivotal
opportunity.

I think religion exists because women cannot find reliable men and churches
exploit that to make money. Men may and can be authentic, but not as long as
they ignore Genesis 1:26.
Mar 3. Please read slowly, as this is a close-packed, appreciative essay.
Ur-Nammu's polytheistic law code, 4100 years old, said on earth the strong
should not take advantage of the weak and levied fines to offenders. Then, 3700
years ago, Hammurabi imposed eye for eye laws. However, the weak cannot manage
wealth, so subsequent nations and religions devised welfare and philanthropy so
that the wealthy could contribute and indirectly aid the poor. The governments
and religions skim the revenues and the organizers pay themselves.
The organization that deigns to redistribute revenues soon discovers that the
wealthy withdraw, leaving no production. Some modify redistribution to aid
entrepreneurs by subsidizing consumers. The consequence is enslavement of the
poor: the poor stay poor. In time, the middle class joins the poor.
According to Machiavelli, The Prince, Chapter XI, the partnership of government
and religion is the strongest organization for tyranny. The organizers
accumulate wealth for power, and passive people don't even care. Believers wait
for their God to rescue them.
No educator ever partnered with the wonderful Thomas Sowell to propose
educating every new born person to acquire the comprehension and intention to
avoid chaos in the way they live -- to pursue goodness.
No politician ever partnered with a Sowell and an educator to create proper
care to the personhood of each newborn citizen.
No civic faction of the people ever saw education of youth as a way to
facilitate order from the earth's chaos. However, there is one hope.
The United States republic, ratified in 1791, after 4 years' negotiations,
initiated by 9 free states and ratified for 14 states, created a civic faction,
We the People of the United States, as defined by the preamble.
"Civic" refers to collaboration to assure each fellow citizen the
personal opportunity to either choose good behavior or wait for more evidence.
Without articulation, the civic faction has kept the United States republic
viable for 234 years.
Trump-accounts revolutionarily facilitates inclusion of every newborn citizen
in capital economics. As enrollments continue, inclusion of education to the
United States republic, its statement of purpose in the preamble, and its
provisions for amendment by the civic faction, would make possible a bright
future "to ourselves and our Posterity" and aid the earth.
I support the Trump-Vance administration and want it to continue into the
future. But it would not bother me if the Democratic Party was the first to
enact this or better movement toward goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior
rather than mystery-which-enslaves-us.

Friends, the English never understood Benjamin Franklin’s 1787 announcement:
You have a republic. Foolhardy 1947 Churchill famously praised democracy after
being rescued by the United States republic. I’m glad I don’t travel to Europe
any more. It would make me sad.
Worse, historians cheat themselves by not teaching us the difference between a
Persian and an Arab. Primitive Persians spoke an Endo-European language, and
Arabic is Semitic, like Hebrew. About 3700 years ago (ya), Persians were
regional neighbors with Abram of house divided, with matriarchs Hagar, Keturah,
and Sarah, alphabetically. Abram did not protect his firstborn, Ishmael. Isaac’s
son Israel also had house divided, with 4 matriarchs.
By 2600 ya, formerly polytheistic Persians favored Zoroastrianism. Cyrus the
Great accommodated Israel, and many features of Judaism have Zoroastrian
parallels.
In 2000, the Judean Yeshua impacted the region and 1600 ya Constantine imposed Paul’s
Church with Peter as “rock” on Rome. Yeshua influenced contemporary listeners
to pursue goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior – goodnesswhich for short. (Yeshua’s
influence to goodnesswhich is attractive to some people in each generation.)
About 1300 ya, the Byzantine Empire (Paul/Peter) weakened
Persia enough for Arabs to control.
President Trump’s courage and his administration creates the opportunity for
Persians to pursue their ethnicity without brutal impositions from Arabs.
Imposing either Judaism or Christianity on Persians, free at last, would not
satisfy justice. Goodnesswhich might seem like an advanced Zoroastrianism.
Thank goodness for our brave military personnel.

Another comment,
I want Trump to continue to aid the United States republic
for the rest of my life -- after 2028 as a citizen retired to his home.
I walk in the park and work 15 exercise stations most days, hoping to enjoy
another 40 years with our wonderful daughters in the home Cynthia and I
designed and had constructed, so its seems vital to me.
The United States republic is unique in that it is specified so as to prevent
social democracy. People who don't know that ought not be allowed to vote in
local, state, and national elections. Their home owner group or golf club? It's
up to them.

Historians are failing themselves by not informing us of the
political philosophies of the primitive code writers -- the ancients to the
Judeo-Christian (JC) writers. The code of Ur-Nammu, 4100 years ago, advocated
fines to offenders. Hammurabi, 3700 ya changed it to "eye for an
eye".
In the same age, Abram became father to many descendants. But he sported a
house divided. The matriarchs are, In English alphabetic order, Hagar, Keturah,
and Sarah. The writers slight the firstborn, Ishmael, depicting him as a donkey
of a man, to always be at war with his brother.
The Persians were contemporaries to Abram's offspring but were of Endo-European
civilization rather than Semitic (including Arab and Hebrew).
Abrahamic descendent in Iran have been oppressing Persian descendants for
centuries, and Judeo-Christians ought not slight the Persian people.
And Ur-Nammu was only commenting on primitive goodness and badness vs evil.
I speculate President Trump understands this history and is politically astute
beyond our dreams. The scholars could and should seize their opportunity to
support goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior.

A nation that made a bad decision has trouble recovering.
Yes; UK and Ukraine are both investing in wind and solar. That's a stupid
choice, because there is ample oil and gas for a hundred years and resources
for green energy are also limiting.
Nuclear fission is safer today, fusion research seems promising, and there are
other inventions underway.
Current and future innovation made wind and solar obsolete before China imposed
them on the naive world. That is, there always has been enough oil and gas.

Yes.
It's one more chance for the world to appreciate the United States republic,

Even so, the Democrat Party remains the United States' (and thus the world's)

British pride is not new.
In fact, they were too stupid to adapt to American will: to take full
responsibility for shooting Red Coats, without blaming God. In 1781, England
lost the war then never considered the United States republic.
Negotiated, then ratified in 1791, the Constitution specifies a unique system
that intentionally prevents national democracy, in order to pursue statutory
justice.

After 6 millions years with bipeds, Homo sapiens (us) first emerged 0.8 million
years ago, and their DNA is mixed with kin around the world.
However, about 60 thousand years ago, a DNA-band migrated from Africa and
dominated; having become selective against Neanderthals and Denisovans, both of
whom became extinct by 15 tya.
Everyone alive today has the mitochondria of that DNA-band of H. sapiens. Other
DNA- bands became extinct in only 60 thousand years.
Somebody lessen my ignorance.

Received:
We have received your email. Thank you for sharing
your thoughts with President Donald J. Trump.
The willingness of the American people to stay informed is essential to our
enduring democracy. Please know that President Trump will never stop
fighting for the citizens of our great Nation! Every day, he is
working tirelessly to lower costs for American families, secure our borders,
slash energy prices, restore law and order, reassert peace through strength,
and return common sense to our public square.
Responded:
(To: WhiteHouse.gov, re “other”)
Thank
you this system and your response to yesterday's message by me.
For
the first time, I noticed " The willingness of the American people to stay
informed is essential to our enduring democracy." I agree with the first
part.
Please
take the civic faction's side, in a controversy commonly unnoticed, by changing
"democracy" to "republic".
The
United States republic is unique, and development of the rule of law is
expensive. The United States Constitution intentionally prevents democracy in
so many ways, for example, providing the Electoral College. It would be
difficult to overthrow the republic, but Social Democracy and Communism are
making headway. And the world does not notice the republic that is maintained
by We the People.
I
feel certain you want to do all you can to aid the unique United States
republic.

Mar 9 Dear Mr. President:
Re: Humankind’s pursuit of good behavior
Sir:
Civic Homo sapiens may and might become grateful to you for
addressing radical-Islamic evil, lately in Iran. “Civic” refers to personal and
collaborative choice to live in goodness which motivates peace. In peace,
modern individuals leave private hopes and comforts to each civic person and
assure justice when someone is uncivil.
Humankind evolved as bipeds 6 million years ago (mya). Homo
sapiens emerged 300 thousand ya. They invented symbols, language, and primitive
art, e.g., appreciating other animals. By 15 tya Sapiens were the superior
species, some accepting that they may and can develop order from chaos on
earth.
The first known, Ur-Nammu law code, 4100 ya, instructed the
strong not to take advantage of the weak. Some cultures corrupt this principle
to institutional care, good or not.
About 3700 ya in Genesis 1:26, a Semitic-speaking scribe
marked tribal transition from Sumerian polytheism with city-patron gods to
competitive monotheism. In my Genesis-1-interpretation: Homo sapiens is
responsible to order chaos in life. The rest of the Bible illustrates the
consequences of irresponsibility.
Abram had 2 sons. Descendants of the second disparaged the
first, Ishmael, exacerbating enmity between Arabs and Jews in Canaan. In about
2600 ya, Zarathustra motivated good behavior in Persia. Persian King Cyrus
freed Babylon-captured Jews and other groups to worship as they chose. Paul,
1900 ya, exploited Yeshua’s Jewish influence, to found a Gentile church,
Christianity. And 1300 ya, Muhammad championed the Arab, Ishmael view.
Above, I have reviewed, in historical order: Homo sapiens’
role, Sumerian culture, Jewish versus Arabic division, Zoroastrianism,
competitive Pauline-Christianity, and Islam. The ethnicities are dated: 300,000
ya, 4100 ya, 3700 ya, 2600 ya, 1900 ya, and 1300 ya, respectively.
America is about 60% ethnic Christian, and Iran is 60%
ethnic Persian. American Christians neglect yet enjoy the unique United States
republic (234 ya), while Persian Iranians suffer Sharia law (accepted in Iran
400 ya).
I think you are freeing the Persians in Iran, and they could
embrace Zoroastrianism strengthened by civil justice, in order to overthrow
Islamic tyranny. Each citizen may first be civic Homo sapiens, in order to free
themselves from eclectic, ethnic oppression, and aid statutory justice on
earth.
Civic citizens, Donald Trump and Phil Beaver collaborate
within chaos, in order to discover and practice
goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior “to ourselves and our Posterity” and
thus to the world. I have yet to share this thought with a stranger who did not
embrace it and take a moment to learn the 5 key words:
goodness-which-motivates-good-behavior.
I hope this helps us in the pivotal times you continually
make possible.
Sincerely
Phil Beaver
