Quoted from a Fox news source:

“Earlier, Trump called the judge who issued the temporary restraining order a ‘so-called judge’ and vowed that the order would be ‘overturned!’

Trump’s tweet about Robart also resulted in criticism from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

‘The president’s attack … shows a disdain for an independent judiciary that doesn’t always bend to his wishes and a continued lack of respect for the Constitution,’ the New York Democrat said.”

This is a perfect example of what we’ve become. A President with poor public manors and a Senator who seems to manufacture Constitutional notions from thin air…as if he and his side have not also wreaked havoc with the separation of powers regarding the three branches of our government. We really must once again become an informed and modest citizenry. We need to read and study the founding documents in their historical and grammatical contexts. We must do our own fact checking: where possible, find and read original sources; discredit so-called news agencies; refuse to take up the offenses of others without first knowing true truth; and, perhaps above all, refuse to pass on anything for which we would not be absolutely willing to die to defend. Finally, until such time the right, the left, the libertarians, the greens, and all the rest (whether politicos, pundits, or pedagogues) cease their propagandistic ways and return to honorable and honest exchanges of ideas and ideals, we should stand shoulder to shoulder demanding our public institutions and public servants stand down…and until they do we should ignore them.

Maybe what we really need is a “Just Say No” campaign against bureaucracy.

• Turn off the television.
• Turn off all links from any and all bureaucracies posting anything at all on the internet.
• Tell the permit profiteers they are no longer allowed to have their way with our property, our hopes, our dreams, and our futures.
• Stop paying taxes.

I don’t know…maybe you can think of a few more…

Then how about we step out our front doors, start talking to our neighbors, and better than talking, start listening to our neighbors? How about we take the lead and make the insiders follow? Maybe it will help to detoxify ourselves from the clap-trap that passes as news and public discourse these days. Maybe it will strengthen our resolve to not be led into their histrionics.

Finally, on a personal note to my brothers and sisters in Christ, how about we remember…

…our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:21)?

…blessed is the (one whose) delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither (Psalm 1:1-3)?

…let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person (Colossians 4:6)?
