Tenth Amendment Remembered

...from Tenth Amendment Center If some Congress members get their way, the Federal Reserve may soon be able to track many of your purchases in real time and share that information with government agencies. This is just one of the problems with the proposed “digital dollar” or “fedcoin.” Fedcoin was initially included in the first coronavirus spending bill. While the proposal was dropped from the final version of the bill, there is still great interest in fedcoin on Capitol Hill. Some progressives have embraced fedcoin as a way to provide Americans with a “universal basic income.” Both the Senate Banking Committee and the House Financial Services Committee held hearings on fedcoin in June. This is the first step toward making fedcoin a reality. Fedcoin would not be an actual coin. Instead, it would be a special account created and maintained for each American by the Federal Reserve. Each month, Fed employees could tap a few keys on a computer and — bingo — each American would have...

...from Tenth Amendment Center If you listened to Episode 328 of The Brion McClanahan show, you know I am very critical of the unconstitutional moves by the Trump administration to put boots on the ground in Portland, Oregon. This wouldn’t end with Portland. You know what? It took Trump one day to prove me correct. On July 22, Trump announced that, according to “Operation Legend,” hundreds of federal “law enforcement officers” would be sent into other American cities to clean up crime. Of course, this is done with an eye toward the election. The left is showing who they really are, and Trump wants to be the law and order hero like Richard Nixon in 1968 and 1972. But it must be done constitutionally, i.e. legally. It doesn’t matter what the talking head at the press briefing has to say on the matter — federal law doesn’t equal the Constitution. Former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge said he would’ve resigned before sending federal “LEOs” into American cities wit...

...from Tenth Amendment Center SANTA CRUZ , Calif. (July 27, 2020) – Last month, the Santa Cruz City Council banned facial recognition and predictive policing technology in the city. The growing movement to prohibit the use of facial recognition at the state and local levels could hinder the operation of a growing national facial recognition network. Mayor Justin Cummings introduced the ordinance. The law prohibits government use of facial recognition and predictive policing technology. The law allows for the future use of the technology, but only with explicit approval from the City Council via a resolution based on “findings that the technology and the data that informs the technology meets scientifically validated and peer-reviewed research, protects and safeguards the civil rights and liberties of all people, and will not perpetuate bias.” On June 25, the city council approved the measure by a unanimous vote. The city is the first in the country to ban predictive policing tec...

...from Tenth Amendment Center Gold has broken its all-time price record. But what does this really mean? It means the dollar is getting weaker and you are getting poorer thanks to the actions of the government and its central bank. The dollar just hit its all-time low when compared to #gold . This is a function of what the government is doing TO your money – and it's why we need to #EndTheFed 's monopoly on money. @mmaharrey10th pic.twitter.com/jAYfeJZCVG — TenthAmendmentCenter (@TenthAmendment) July 27, 2020 For Further Reading The Federal Reserve: The Engine that Drives the Powerful Government in History National Debt Pushes Above $26 Trillion The Federal Reserve Will Likely Cause the Next Crisis U.S. Federal Reserve Notes: “Money” Backed By Nothing Status Report: States Chipping Away at the Federal Reserve The Fed’s Endless Boom-Bust Cycle Mike Maharrey July 27, 2020 at 02:23PM

...from Tenth Amendment Center “At my direction, the DOJ banned bump stocks. Last year we prosecuted a record number of firearms offenses .” During a public appearance in 2019 , President Donald Trump proudly reminded us about his gun control credentials, bragging that his administration implemented new gun control and has conducted more enforcement actions than anyone in history.   The president didn’t back off his commitment to enforcing gun laws in 2019. For the third straight year, the Trump administration has ramped up enforcement of unconstitutional federal gun control, according to the latest data released by the ATF. Last year, the ATF investigated 35,790 firearms cases. That was on par with the 35,839 firearms cases the agency investigated in 2018. This after the ATF significantly increased the number of cases it pursued during Trump’s first year in office. In 2016, the final year of the Obama administration, the ATF investigated 31,853 firearms cases. Dur...
