From 100PercentFedUp: JUST IN: Whistleblower To Testify That The Government Is The 'Middleman' In Child Border Trafficking, Details Horrific Human Rights Abuses
As Biden oversees an unprecedented immigration crisis, a whistleblower is set to testify to the House Judiciary Subcommittee and expose the government’s role in trafficking hundreds of thousands of children across the border. . . .

From Mr. President Trump:
Tucker Carlson just called attention to the MASSIVE revelation that the Biden campaign organized the letter of 51 former intelligence officers who LIED about the Hunter Biden laptop being “Russian disinformation.”
“...it was a lie that came from Joe Biden and Secretary of State Tony Blinken. That was election interference.” --Tucker Carlson
Joe Biden stood on that debate stage with me and LIED to every single American citizen when he told the nation that his son’s laptop depicting all of his many crimes was fabricated by the Russians.
This is the Democrats’ 2024 playbook.
They will LIE about the border, they will LIE about inflation, they will LIE about our national security, and they will LIE about crime.
And they’ll collude with their Deep State “ex-CIA” operatives to cook up any report they need to back up their lies.
This is un-American. These are Soviet tactics. But what else can you expect from a party that just tried to imprison its leading opponent?
2024 is no longer just an election. It’s about the survival of our Free Republic. We either win – or we lose America for good.

U S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Baldwin's Charge to the Jury:
"...Baldwin J charged the jury...."
"The first section of the bill of rights in the constitution of Pennsylvania declares that all men have the inherent and indefeasible right of enjoying and defending life and liberty of acquiring possessing and protecting property that no man can be deprived of his liberty or property but by the judgment of his peers or the law of the land Sect 9 That the right of citizens to bear arms in defence of themselves and the state shall not be questioned Sect 21 The second section of the fourth article of the constitution of the United States declares the citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states. The tenth section of the first article prohibits any state from passing any law which impairs the obligation of a contract. The second amendment provides that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
"...We shall pursue this subject no further, in its bearing on the political rights of the states composing the union--in recalling your attention to these rights, which are the subject of this controversy, we declare to you as the law of the case, that they are inherent and unalienable--so recognised by all our fundamental laws.
"The constitution of the state or union is not the source of these rights, or the others to which we have referred you, they existed in their plenitude before any constitutions, which do not create but protect and secure them against any violation by the legislatures or courts, in making, expounding or administering laws.
"The nature of this case, its history, and the course of the argument, call on us to declare explicitly what is the effect of a constitutional protection or guarantee of any right, or the injunction of any duty. The twenty sixth section of the bill of rights in the constitution of Pennsylvania, is in these words; "to guard against transgressions of the high powers we have delegated we declare [we the people of Pennsylvania], that every thing in this article is excepted out of the general powers of government, and shall for ever remain inviolate." A higher power declares this constitution and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, shall be the supreme laws of the land, and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, any thing in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding" Const U.S., art. 6, clause 2.
"An amendment of the constitution is of still higher authority, for it has the effect of controlling and repealing the express provisions of the constitution authorizing a power to be exercised, by a declaration that it shall not be construed to give such power. 3 Dall 382.
"We have stated to you the various provisions of the constitution of the United States and its amendments, as well as that of this state; you see their authority and obligation to be supreme over any laws or regulations which are repugnant to them, or which violate, infringe or impair any right thereby secured; the conclusions which result are too obvious to be more than stated."
- U.S. Supreme Court Justice BALDWIN, Circuit Court of The United States, [PENNSYLVANIA APRIL TERM 1833 BEFORE Hon. HENRY BALDWIN, Associate Justice of the [U.S.] Supreme Court, Hon JOSEPH HOPKINSON District Judge, Johnson v Tompkins, (13 F. Cas. 840 (C.C.E.D. Pa. 1833)), and others.]
