    LANGUAGELanguage comes in many forms.Probably the most prevalent form of language is the unconscious, unstated language.It’s posture.It’s bearing.It’s body language.It’s facial expressions.It’s sounds.It’s intonations.It’s inflections.And then there are the words themselves.The conversation.The subtext.The pretext.It all becomes very complicated.But in the end, it’s actually very simple.Unfortunately, people presume.People expect.People project.And oftentimes the message is lost—sometimes by accident, but very often by design.Look at authority figures.The police officer with the high-and-tight haircut.The mirrored sunglasses.The perfectly creased uniform.Shoulders back.Chest out.Muscles bounding.Hands planted firmly on his hips.Leaning into your personal space as he speaks.You can’t even see his eyes.Every bit of it is language.It communicates one thing.“I have authority.”“You will listen to me.”“You are bound by what I say.”And when I ask you questions...I’m not really asking the damn question.I’m telling you.It’s as if a man assumes a role the moment he receives a title.“I’m a cop.”“I’m a police chief.”“I’m a sheriff.”Authority begins to ooze from every pore of his body.Not because it has necessarily been earned...But because the office has convinced the man that he rules......and the people are subject.Many young men leave the military and enter law enforcement.They bring with them a culture of command.It isn’t written.It isn’t spoken.But everyone feels it.Look around.America has been one of the most incarcerated countries in the world for decades.That should cause every American to stop and ask...What happened?Not simply to our laws...But to our culture.To our understanding of power.Now look at ourselves.We accept it.We accept the posture.We accept the dominance.We become deferential.We become careful.We instinctively change our tone of voice.We answer questions we were never obligated to answer.What happened to a country as strong, dignified, and glorious as America?When did we begin believing that those who temporarily occupy public office somehow stand above the very people from whom all public authority originates?It’s time we rethink not so much the rule of law...But the center of power.The source of power.Who are we as a people?Because every badge...Every office...Every commission...Every oath...Exists because of the people.The people are the sovereign source of power.If I were ever a police officer...If I were ever a deputy...And certainly if I were ever a sheriff...I would never forget that.I would speak with humility.With respect.With kindness.With genuine deference.Not because I am weak.But because I understand who the sovereign truly is.It is not enough for the American people to demand respect from public officials.Those who seek public office should possess the caliber, the mettle, the wisdom, and the character to honor and respect the sovereign people without ever being asked.They should look upon every peaceful citizen—not as a subject—but as the very source from which their authority is derived.Almost as if on bended knee.Because that is what constitutional humility looks like.True authority does not dominate.True authority serves.And the moment an officer forgets the source of his authority...He has begun to rule......rather than serve.But this conversation is not really about the police.It is about us.It is time that we, the American people, remember who we are.Not with arrogance.Not with hostility.Not with defiance.But with dignity.With grace.With wisdom.With self-respect.We must once again hold our heads high.Stand with our shoulders back.Speak calmly.Speak truthfully.Speak with conviction.And above all, speak with an understanding of the Constitution and of the natural, God-given rights and freedoms that belong to every human being.Communication is not merely speaking.It is giving.It is receiving.It is listening.It is understanding.It is recognizing the dignity of another while never surrendering your own.When we recover that understanding—individually and collectively—we recover something far greater than confidence.We recover our rightful position as a free people.The sovereign people.The true source of all public authority.Then, when we speak with those who occupy public office, we do so neither as subjects nor as adversaries, but as free men and women—respectful, firm, wise, self-governed, and in command of ourselves.Not because we seek to dominate.Not because we seek to intimidate.But because we understand where authority truly originates.And when we understand who we are, and those who serve in public office understand who we are, something remarkable happens.The conversation changes.The posture changes.The relationship changes.The people are no longer treated as subjects.And those in office are no longer tempted to behave as rulers.A constitutional republic begins to look like a constitutional ...

    Eternal Vigilance!
    Jul 15 2026

    Jen, I decided to offer a narrow response to your concerning the Constitution under a given theory.

    Suppose someone believes that government operates differently than the people have always understood. Suppose someone claims that the structure of government has fundamentally changed from what Americans have traditionally expected. That belief does not make it so. Correct?

    Do you still expect a republican form of government?

    Moreover, if government claims that it operates under some different authority or some different structure than the people reasonably understand, then government bears the responsibility of explaining that change openly, honestly, and completely. Has this happened? No.

    So the theory or notion of any change in government makes no difference.

    The American people have every reason to expect that government will honor the constitutional principles under which it claims to govern. We expect public officials to remain within the limits of the authority entrusted to them. And we expect every constitutional officer—especially the county sheriff—to honor his oath.

    The people should not be expected to discover such a change by accident or through a theory offered by a guru.

    They should never be expected to infer it through implication.

    And they should never be expected to surrender their constitutional expectations without being fully informed.

    A free people are entitled to know the nature and source of the authority that governs them.

    They are entitled to understand it.

    They are entitled to question it.

    The people have every reason to continue expecting a constitutional form of government they have always been taught to believe exists.

    That expectation does not disappear because someone makes a different claim.

    Nor does it relieve a sheriff of the duty to preserve the rights of the people and to ensure that governmental power remains within its proper constitutional limits.

    The sheriff’s oath is not to speculation.

    It is not to assumptions.

    It is not to hidden understandings known only to a few.

    His oath is to the constitutional order he has sworn to uphold and to the people whose liberty depends upon it.

    If government wishes to claim something different, then let government explain it openly.

    Allow me to emphasize a key point one more time. The people have every right to expect the constitutional protections, and every right to expect their sheriff to stand with them in preserving those principles.

    May truth reign supreme.

  • If the US is a corporation...

    If the US is a corporation...
    Jul 15 2026
    Yesterday Jen said that the US is a corporation and asked if that did not make the Constitution void?That question involves an answer that may not be expected.For decades, some Americans have been searching for answers about government, freedom, and the law. Along the way, they’ve encountered a stream of gurus, experts, and self-proclaimed authorities, each promising to possess the one secret that everyone else has missed.You’ve probably heard many of the theories.Admiralty jurisdiction.Maritime law.Uniform Commercial Code.Acceptance for Value.Offset discharge.The strawman.The all-capital-letter name.The United States as a corporation.And dozens more.Some of these ideas are based on real historical facts.Some are built upon legal concepts that exist but are expanded far beyond how courts interpret them.Some are theories that courts have repeatedly rejected.The problem isn’t simply that these ideas exist.The problem is what often happens next.Someone takes a single observation—sometimes a true observation—and transforms it into a universal solution.That’s where people get hurt.One of the greatest mistakes we make is confusing an observation with a remedy.An observation may be true.The proposed solution may still be completely wrong.That distinction has cost countless Americans years of their lives.I’ve seen the pain caused by these theories and the loss of time, money and hope.I’ve lived enough of that journey myself to understand how attractive certainty can become when your freedom, your livelihood, or your family is on the line.So let’s go back to Jen’s question.Suppose someone believes the United States operates as a corporation.What changes tomorrow morning in your county?Does that automatically determine how your sheriff performs his duties?Does it tell your county commissioners how they should exercise their authority?Does it answer whether a public official has acted within the limits of the authority granted to that office?Not by itself.Whether one accepts or rejects that theory, the practical question remains exactly the same:What authority exists?What are its limits?Who must prove those limits have been respected?Those questions matter every single day.Candidly, especially when emotions are involved, the more complicated government appears, the more valuable the person becomes who claims to possess the secret answer.Complexity creates gurus.Mystery creates followers.But free people should never have to depend upon secret knowledge.Liberty should not require decoding hidden symbols, discovering invisible trusts, or mastering theories that only a handful of people claim to understand.A constitutional republic, at its best, depends upon something much simpler.Citizens who understand that government is limited.Public officials who understand the limits of the offices they hold.Sheriffs, commissioners, legislators, judges, and every other public servant who recognize that public power is not unlimited and that it must remain accountable to law.Instead of chasing theories or trusting a flawed approach, isn’t it better to ask disciplined questions?What authority is being claimed?Where does that authority come from?What is the source of the obligation?Has jurisdiction actually been established?Who bears the burden of proving it?Those questions don’t depend upon personalities.They don’t depend upon gurus.They don’t depend upon internet movements.They depend upon careful reasoning.That’s why I created the Liberty Dialogues.Not to give people another theory.Not to replace one guru with another.But to give ordinary people a structured way to think.A way to analyze claims instead of simply accepting them.A way to distinguish evidence from assumption.A way to separate historical fact from speculation.A way to understand authority before arguing about power.Jen, your question was an important one.But perhaps the better question is this:If your sheriff honored the Constitution and his oath, would you ever need to concern yourself with some unfounded and errant theory that has no bearing upon your life and community?If your freedom depends upon persuading a court to adopt a theory it has never accepted, have you really found a practical remedy?Or is the better path to understand the principles that define and limit governmental authority, insist that public officials remain within those limits, and hold them accountable when they do not?Free people cannot build a free society upon speculation.They build it upon truth.They build it upon principle.They build it by understanding the proper limits of government and expecting every public official—from the sheriff to the highest office in the land—to honor those limits.When Americans stop chasing theories and start asking better questions, the conversation changes.And that’s where liberty begins.May truth reign supreme.
