護憲派の集会で、憲法改正反対などを訴える参加者、３日午後、東京都江東区憲法記念日の３日、護憲派と改憲派の団体が東京都内でそれぞれ集会を開いた。 Citizens supporting and opposing a revision of Japan's Constitution held their respective events in Tokyo on Constitution Day in the country on Saturday.

Citizens supporting and opposing a revision of Japan's Constitution held their respective events in Tokyo on Constitution Day in the country on Saturday.

One year after Japan's revised ‘Act for the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities' came into effect—mandating that businesses provide reasonable accommodation to people with disabilities—surveys show that public awareness remains low, with 60% of disabled respondents unaware of the new legal obligation. Experts stress that without such awareness, meaningful dialogue and support cannot occur, and call for stronger government-led information efforts.

This week, in observance of Constitution Day, the guys wax poetic about the virtues of the Founding... is what you probably expected this to say. Instead, Greg wrote an entire academic paper about Lincoln's hushed critique of the Founding, so the guys sit down to unpack the paper's core arguments, as well as how Lincoln was, and wasn't, successful at bringing Christianity into the political ethos of his time.

John Adams gave a warning saying the U.S. Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people and wholly inadequate to any other government. On September 17th, 1787, 39 of our nation's founding fathers signed that great document and today it celebrates another birthday. --Returning to Crosstalk with details on its history was William J. Federer. William is a nationally known speaker, historian, author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc. He's the speaker on -The American Minute- daily broadcast.--William began by reminding listeners that the most common form of government in world history has been via kings. He described kings as glorified gang leaders. So basically if you get rid of the police, eventually you'll have gangs and the gang leader with enough weapons is known as a king, pharaoh, Caesar, kaiser, or czar. As we've seen through history, as weapons improve, these kings can kill more people so their kingdoms grow larger. In other words, instead of Cain killing Abel with a rock, they can kill with a bronze weapon, an iron weapon, a phalanx spear, a scimitar sword or gunpowder. If you're friends with the gang leader-king you're more equal. If not, you're less equal. If you're their enemy, you're either dead or a slave.--As history moved along we saw the king of England become the most powerful king on the planet- a one-world-government guy with him at the top due to the fact that the sun never set on the British empire. However, there was a problem. America's founders didn't like the fact that a globalist king was telling them what to do, so they broke away and flipped the concept and made the people the king.

Today, we celebrate Constitution Day and the system of government we once had but no longer do. However, what we still have in place are sovereign states. Today I make the legal argument for states to deter the border invasion. We're joined by Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies, who proposes several innovative ideas for states to use their police powers to deter the invasion. She believes the key is to leverage criminal laws on employment, human trafficking, drugs, vagrancy, trespassing, and other relatively low-level crimes to threaten the illegal aliens with prison time but also offer them a ticket home to avoid that prison time. She also discusses the importance of enforcing employment and trafficking laws against labor brokers who staff businesses with illegal aliens, in addition to states clamping down on identity theft.  Learn more about your ad choices.

If you're friends with the gang leader/king you're more equal. If not, you're less equal. If you're their enemy, you're either dead or a slave.As history moved along we saw the king of England become the most powerful king on the planet; a one-world-government guy with him at the top due to the fact that the sun never set on the British empire. However, there was a problem. America's founders didn't like the fact that a globalist king was telling them what to do, so they broke away and flipped the concept and made the people the king.

John Adams gave a warning saying the U.S. Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people and wholly inadequate to any other government. On September 17th, 1787, 39 of our nation's founding fathers signed that great document and today it celebrates another birthday. --Returning to Crosstalk with details on its history was William J. Federer. William is a nationally known speaker, historian, author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc. He's the speaker on -The American Minute- daily broadcast.--William began by reminding listeners that the most common form of government in world history has been via kings. He described kings as glorified gang leaders. So basically if you get rid of the police, eventually you'll have gangs and the gang leader with enough weapons is known as a king, pharaoh, Caesar, kaiser, or czar. As we've seen through history, as weapons improve, these kings can kill more people so their kingdoms grow larger. In other words, instead of Cain killing Abel with a rock, they can kill with a bronze weapon, an iron weapon, a phalanx spear, a scimitar sword or gunpowder. If you're friends with the gang leader-king you're more equal. If not, you're less equal. If you're their enemy, you're either dead or a slave.--As history moved along we saw the king of England become the most powerful king on the planet- a one-world-government guy with him at the top due to the fact that the sun never set on the British empire.

On Sunday, a second assassination attempt was made on Donald Trump's life. As you probably have predicted, the Left is blaming Trump and his rhetoric.

On this special Constitution Day episode of *Dave Does History* on Bill Mick Live, Dave Bowman takes us back to September 17, 1787, when the framers of the U.S. Constitution gathered for one final act—signing the document that would define the nation. Through vivid storytelling, Dave delves into the tense atmosphere in the room, where not all delegates were in agreement. He examines the optimism of some, like Benjamin Franklin, who urged unity despite imperfections, and the concerns of others, like George Mason, who saw fatal flaws, especially the absence of a Bill of Rights. With his signature blend of humor and insight, Dave also explores how the debates of that day still resonate in our modern world. How did the compromises reached shape the future of the United States, and what lessons can we draw today? Join us for a compelling historical analysis, filled with rich details, as we reflect on the birth of the Constitution and its lasting impact. Tune in and learn why, as Franklin said, this Constitution would “astonish our enemies” and shape the future of a fledgling nation.
