In case you're thinking about the requirements for running for President of the United States here they are: Article II, Section 1, Clause 5: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. Amended with the 14th Amendment, Section 3 "Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability." It comes down to 1) Natural born Citizen of the United States, 2) attain the age of thirty-five, and 3) been a resident for 14 years, and 4) complies with the 14th amendment.

**** LEGISLATIVE ALERT **** There are critical bills being presented that impact licensure in Illinois. We are encouraging you to contact your legislators in support of these bills (SB3211 and HB5246). Don't know your legislator? Find them at: https://lnkd.in/gDx6gEic. IAMFT wants to make advocacy easier so please feel free to use this script: Dear Elected Official: Thanks for your work in advocating for children and families in Illinois. As you may know there is a shortage of mental health professionals in Illinois with only 24% of the need being supported by the current workforce. Marriage and Family Therapists are uniquely trained for meeting this need, but there are currently barriers for licensure in Illinois. This bill addresses this need by making licensure easier for qualified applicants from other states. Please vote for this measure. 

Why do humans create government? A variety of reasons. Think a bit more and the paramount goal becomes clear. Governments are created to ensure safety for their citizens—both personal safety and safety of property. If a rather high degree of safety for people and property does not exist, you won’t have much of a society. Until the last couple of decades, Americans, absent the miscreants and criminals, clearly had a strong consensus that lawlessness and crime were morally bad. Crime and lawlessness, of course, fluctuated over the decades, but virtually no one thought crime was a good thing or something to be casually dismissed. Unfortunately, under the relentless attack by leftists and their fellow travelers in the Democrat Party, academia, and media, that consensus no longer exists. Removing civilizational underpinnings of safety for people and property creates social turmoil that leftists hope to exploit.   Here is a link to my latest published political essay discussing leftists and their support of lawlessness. https://lnkd.in/gYrkwFHr

The Democrats are politically smart and crafty! That’s why I need your help today to keep the focus on their failed policies that are the cause of America’s problems. Please forward this @WashTimes article: www.gorightgobig.com #GoBig

So…new day, new government. Doubtless a day of commentary and opinion to come in the media and the socials. A copper’s lot is an interesting one on these occasions. Whilst we’re all human and many have their own - sometimes strong - views, we’re reminded of our need for neutrality and rightly so. Policing, especially in its leadership I think, must remain detached. Which is handy as I’ve spent my life largely apolitical in my views. When o have voted locally, it’s been for the person, not the party. But it’s maybe indicative of my recent journey that I look at things maybe differently to most. (Promise I’m not going to point this towards an ADHD post…but I’ve never had favourites or a sense of belonging to anything, politics included. I’m very logically-minded, politics is supposedly about doing the best by the people, so the person speaking the most sense will always capture my attention). So why post about it? Irrespective of lack of allegiance, policing will be watching on. For me, it’s the numbers that capture my attention this time around. Not well, either. 60% of the seats from 30-odd percent of the vote screams ‘protest vote’. Take nothing away from the result - a win is a win - but this isn’t the “landslide” the terminology suggest where public opinion is concerned. That means flux. Turnout is reported as dropping below 60% for the second time in history (the other being 2001). Apathy and disenfranchisement are a worrying combination. I hope that I’m wrong and maybe this is just a regular shift in the history of UK politics. But those changes of direction are mirrored elsewhere in the world, with voting populaces voicing dissatisfaction across the world. The next year in France and Germany will be interesting. We will continue to serve the public irrespective. I think that’s one of the calls to policing - the vast majority of us just want to serve and to be there for the public. But when the public are so conflicted on so many issues, it makes for what they call “interesting times”, which means a busy few years coming. Although without fear of contradicting myself in the neutrality stakes…it was a treat to tune in to Radio 4 on the way to work just as they declared Norfolk South West…
