The Noah Commentaries: February 2025

Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches. But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 9:23)

On Installation Day, an illegal immigrant from South Africa stands behind a podium adorned with the SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and makes two Nazi salutes. Now, instead of a Fourth Reich, we must be forthright when confronting fools. For the rich man, drowning in money, is morally bankrupt—and neither wise nor mighty.

The Democrats are good at closing the barn door after the horses are gone. Representative McGovern (D-MA) stood up and spoke out on the House floor after the Chief Traitor pardoned the insurrectionists. But that was too little, too late. Faux outrage is not enough. Where were you and your colleagues on the sixth?

The gentleman from New York violated Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment in plain sight and mocks the oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.” (Article II, Section 1, Clause 8) Yet he pretends to be what he clearly is not—a patriot. Meanwhile, the Democrats get a lot of exercise, a hernia, and indigestion as they “strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.” (Matthew 23:24, KJV) For instead of an ounce of prevention, Democrats respond to the latest outrage and then ignore the cure, as sure as night follows day. But how about running rings around the Republicans by telling the truth?

An After-Action Report reveals that there was no strong response to the rebellion and no daily factual challenge to immunity. There were no recounts and no use of the Electoral College in its national security role; and on January 6, 2025, at the joint session of Congress, there was no Declaration of Illegitimacy. Thus, the goals set forth in the Preamble were cast aside in favor of an attitude: “Hooray for me, to hell with you!”

Lawyers play a vital role in our society. But sometimes they are so steeped in making technical arguments that they miss the point. Other perspectives are needed.

The gentleman from New York has violated Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment in plain sight long enough. That provision prohibits anyone who has taken an oath to support the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same” from holding Federal or State office. Thus, the one who occupies the White House can only be absolved if “Congress...by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”

Until Democrats make a Declaration of Illegitimacy, they will be a day late and a dollar short. For courage is the currency. But the Democrats are in desperate need of a backbone transplant.
