Why would you include non citizens, for the purpose of representation? The government was for the people, and by the people. The non citzens should be counted in the census, for the sake of managing our government but they should not have any imact on the House of Representatives. The house of Representatives is to to send a congressman to be the mouth piece in Washington DC, for the citizens that elected he or she .

The Letter versus the Spirit
[God] also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:6)
The "letter versus the Spirit" is another contrast between living by the old covenant or by the new. This is another choice that determines whether we are functioning by man's sufficiency or by God's.
A life developed "of the letter" is one built on rules and regulations. We cannot become a child of God by rules; neither can we develop in godliness by regulations. No list of demands (including God's law) could ever bring to us, or develop in us, a life with God. All rules and regulations (including God's law) come without resource. They are a list of requirements, not a supply of adequacy. They call for an observable response, but they provide no power to produce the required effect.
Consider circumcision, which was required by the law of God for the Israelites. "And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised" (Leviticus 12:3). This was to be a reminder to God's people that they were His. Implementing that regulation did not inherently change the life of any Jew. Physical, external circumcision (that is, circumcision "by the letter") did not make a change in the heart of the one circumcised. It takes an inner working of God to produce a true child of God (in Romans 2 language, a "true Jew"). "For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, and not in the letter." (Romans 2:28-29). God births His children and raises them in godliness through His work in their hearts by the Holy Spirit.
The kingdom of heaven is "of the Spirit." It is not about external "do's and dont's" (such as, whether to follow the standard of God's law concerning certain foods). "For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Romans 14:17). Entrance into God's family, as well as development as God's children, does not hinge on following various regulations. Rather, it is about the Holy Spirit supplying heavenly blessings in the hearts of those who trust in the Lord. Life with God is always "of the Spirit" (God's sufficiency), not "of the letter" (man's sufficiency).
Brazil, Australia, and Canada fined 𝕏, but it refused to censor users. Now the EU’s trying the same—𝕏 will stand for free speech.

As it turns out,
the SECRET slut fund that 357 members of Congress just voted to block the release of—appropriated for their sexual harassment and rape charges—paid out $17 million at taxpayers’ expense.
It’s MORE. It’s a lot MORE.
The taxpayer money that John Conyers used to settle his sexual harassment and rape charges was made through his OFFICE BUDGET.
In other words: They knew about Eric Swalwell for years, yet they kept it secret even while he was plotting to take down the United States government.
Audit every single member who voted against the release—Eric Swalwell was one of them.
🔥Senate returns tomorrow.
Did they spend their entire vacation plotting to undermine the SAVE America Act?
And right on cue, the excuse is set:
“Not enough time.”
Not enough time to protect elections?
Tagging Thune!

WEAPONIZATION: Internal DOJ emails show Soros-backed NGOs were telling federal prosecutors who to target under the FACE Act. The targets broke no laws. The prosecutors followed the NGO's directions anyway. Todd Blanche found the emails & fired every one of them. The DOJ was not a law enforcement agency. It was a Soros field office.

The most corrupt judge in America loses AGAIN 🔥
Rep. Tim Burchett “Mr. Roman are you aware that we are sending $40 million a week to the Taliban?”
Just so you know USAID, funded the Taliban $40 million per week.
This enabled them to buy Weapons. Democrats didn’t want that to end. Think about it, the Democrats used American Taxpayers money to enable a war against us and the world.
