D.C. was formed by land donated from Maryland and Virginia (the site was chosen by George Washington) After about 10 years it was decided that the Virginia land was not needed ... and it was return to Virginia... Which means the present D.C. land was completely donated by Maryland... The Constitution states the former Maryland may not join any other state nor make a new state with out permission of the Maryland Legislature... Should the non Government part of the D.C. was to be represented by congressmen and senators they should just allow Maryland

Where did the State of Maryland pass legislation permitting this former land to be a part of the 2021 House proposal of forming a new state???? Doesn't matter there are even some dems in the Senate who will never vote for it ...

Well you will need the Senate (which you will not get). Then the small fact that since Maryland (who originally gave up the land) Maryland can block the whole thing ... "New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress" You seem to have the same problem the dems leadership have had for the last 4 ye

No ... fool in your name is proper ... lol

"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." ... I would suggest your lib/dem sunglasses are cutting off circulation to you brain .... and your should take your blinders off...

biden's thought ... that is funny right there I don't care who you are ... lol

Biden says no Amendment is Absolute ... So if some ole southern dem wanted to institute slavery it would be ok with the dem party ... as no Amendment is Absolute .... ... or do only dems from Del get to pick and choose which Amendments are Absolute??? Dem fake logic in action ...

You know this how???? Do you have any evidence to that effect??? Clicking your heels and wishing doesn't make it true, you know... ... There is also the fact that no one killed him, no weapon was used AND OF COURSE it doesn't fit the dem fake logic.... I would suggest that the facts suggest Nancy put up the fence to protect the U.S. Citizens from being shot by the Cap. police...

So I am reading Officer Sicknick (a Cap. police officer) who died during the 1/6/21 protest died of natural causes ... ... So that means the only homicide that occurred that night was by the Cap. Police who shot and killed a unarmed women who was standing at the back of the crowd... The dems jump all over this story and didn't hardly get one thing right... Meanwhile a young person at 2:30 in the morning, running down a alley with a gun in his hand, with reports of shots being fired in a known gang area is shot .... which will cause rioting in the st

Well the dems told them all Summer long not to trust the Trump Vaccine.

I think you just make stuff up ... take a 5th grade Government class... Missouri (115,000 Slaves) and Kentucky (225,000 Slaves) Both Originally Confederated States but under Control of the U.S. Government at the time of the Proclamation were exempt from the Emancipation Proclamation. North Carolina had 331,000 exempt from the proclamation. Maryland had 87,000 Slaves Delaware had around 2,000 Slaves Other States had some slaves but those I would say were less than 100 in total. (i.e.; Kansas had 2 slaves) Slavery was abolished with the ratificatio

False ... with the www and 5-8 great search engines ... how can you be so ignorant .... hint look up Dred Scott Decision... The Constitution allowed for Slavery until the 13th Amendment changed the Constitution --- after the Civil War ... Lincoln couldn't free the slaves in the Union because he didn't have the authority to do so... ... In fact during the Civil War it was a running joke in the South that Lincoln freed the slaves only in States he had no control of --- the ones in open rebellion. How can you not know this things ?? Did you not to school

At the beginning of the Civil was the North was against the expansion of Slavery to the West... Abolishing Slavery wasn't a major issue yet... During the War the North never once freed any Slaves in the Union... In fact the former Confederate State of Tenn. which was under Union control at the time was exempt from Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. The Proclamation was a tool for winning the Civil War ... but it did plant the seed to abolish all slavery in the U.S.. ...again READ some actual history (if you can read) and for god's sake quit watching cnn or msnbc ...

No ... go back and take a history class ... then talk about it ... Agriculture verses Industry ----difference in economics and the politics that goes with it. ... At the beginning of the Civil war The Republican's were against the Westward expansion of slave states. The South wanted one slave State added for every Free State (keeping the balance of power) ... The South wanted to assert States Right's over Nation Right's (more power to the States) ... The election of a Republican Lincoln without receiving 1 Southern Electoral Vote sealed the deal -- the South had lost all i

couple small points 1) raising taxes always hurts the economy. 2. 66% of these new jobs are minimum wage hotel and fast food chains ....
