Why Birthright Citizenship Is a Legislative Matter—Not Judicial or Executive

By Michael Taylor | ThaWilsonBlock Magazine The question of who qualifies for American citizenship is not just a moral or political debate — it is a constitutional one. For over a century, courts and executive agencies have applied birthright citizenship in a way that defies the intent of the 14th Amendment and undermines Congress’s constitutional authority. This practice, particularly as it applies to children born to undocumented immigrants, raises a serious challenge: > Can individuals derive irrevocable constitutional benefits from ongoing unlawful presence? And if not, why has the judiciary allowed it? This question strikes at the heart of the rule of law. The answer lies in decades of misinterpretation, judicial drift, and administrative neglect. The issue is not emotional. It is structural. And it belongs squarely with Congress, not the courts or the White House. --- 🔎 The 14th Amendment’s Soft Spot: Jurisdiction The 14th Amendment states: > “All persons born ...

Texas International Pop Festival, Dallas International Motor Speedway, Lewisville, TX, 9-1-1969, Part 10: Sly & the Family Stone

Finally, we come to the tenth and last album from the third and last day of the 1969 Texas International Pop Festival. The closing act was Sly and the Family Stone. Like fellow festival stars Janis Joplin and Johnny Winter, Sly Stone was born in Texas. In fact, he was born quite close to the festival, on the outskirts of Dallas, just as the festival was on the outskirts of the city. However, the media didn't notice this. That's probably because he moved with his family to the San Francisco Bay area by the time he was a teenager. In 1969, Sly and the Family Stone hit it big, with multiple hits that year. Even as the festival was going on, one of their songs, "Hot Fun in the Summertime," was Number Two in the U.S. charts. That was fitting, since the festival took place at the tail end of summer, and it was very hot for all three days. Sly Stone was notorious for going on stage late, if he managed to make it at all, often due to heavy drug use. That was a problem w...

WHO Expert Group Fails to Find a Definitive Answer for How COVID-19 Began

Medical workers check on patients in Jinyintan Hospital, designated for critical condition COVID-19 patients, in Wuhan, central China’s Hubei province, Feb. 13, 2020. (Chinatopix Via AP, File) By MARIA CHENG 12:09 PM EDT, June 27, 2025 LONDON (AP) — An expert group charged by the World Health Organization to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic started released its final report Friday, reaching an unsatisfying conclusion: Scientists still aren’t sure how the worst health emergency in a century began. At a press briefing on Friday, Marietjie Venter, the group’s chair, said that most scientific data supports the hypothesis that the new coronavirus jumped to humans from animals. That was also the conclusion drawn by the first WHO expert group that investigated the pandemic’s origins in 2021, when scientists concluded the virus likely spread from bats to humans, via another intermediary animal. At the time, WHO said a lab leak was “extremely unlikely.” Venter said that after more t...

Chad Agrees to Host Sudanese Cert. Exams This Year

26/06/2025 18:22 N'DJAMENA / ATBARA Secondary school students sitting for their final exams, September 2020 (File photo: Supplied) The Chadian government has agreed to allow approximately 10,000 Sudanese students currently residing in eastern Chad to sit for their secondary school certificate exams on its territory. Chad’s refusal to host the exams last year caused widespread frustration among thousands of displaced students and their families. In a post on X, Darfur Governor Minni Minawi confirmed that Chad will be holding Sudanese state exams this year, hosting refugee students from Darfur and those attending Sudanese friendship schools in Chad. He praised the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) for handling all logistical work related to delivering and administering the exams. Chadian media reported that President Mahamat Idriss Déby gave his preliminary approval during a meeting with the Sudanese chargé d’affaires in N’Djamena, Ahmed Jamal. Minawi had previously app...

Ghana’s Digital Finance Evolution Transforms Banking Access

Ghana’s Digital Finance Evolution Transforms Banking Access By News Ghana June 29, 2025 Ghana’s financial sector has undergone radical digitization since pioneering payment innovations emerged in the mid-1990s. According to banking records, Meridian Bank introduced the nation’s first debit card in 1994, followed by Standard Chartered’s entry in June that year. Barclays Bank accelerated the shift in 1995 with its Barclay Cash Card. These innovations began replacing cash-dependent transactions during an era when bank queues dominated daily routines. The transformation deepened in 1997 when Social Security Bank (now Societe Generale Ghana) launched the Sika Card. This payment solution introduced unprecedented cashless convenience, though digital transfers remained technologically unfeasible at the time. The Bank of Ghana established critical infrastructure in 2007 through GHIPSS (Ghana Interbank Payments and Settlement System), creating integrated processing for cheques, cards...

Don McLean - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, Royal Albert Hall, London, Britain, 10-15-1973

Here's another album of singer-songwriter Don McLean performing for the BBC. This time, it's another acoustic concert, just like "Volume 2" was. If you look at the BBC website, there's a page for this concert that shows a 45 minute concert. This is not that. Unfortunately, that link is dead and probably has been for years. However, I was able to cobble together enough for an album from other sources. No doubt there's a lot of overlap with that BBC broadcast, but it's possible some songs here are from the part of a longer concert that didn't make the 45 minute broadcast version. Beware, because the sound quality varies a lot, due to different sourcing. The best sounding songs are tracks 6, 7, and 8. These are the only officially released ones, from the archival collection "Favorites and Rarities." Of the rest, a couple of the songs came from YouTube. Those have the poorest quality. But most of the rest came from a Don McLean super fan, who s...

Ghana Proposes Mandatory Hiring Quotas in Disability Rights Overhaul

By News Ghana June 28, 2025 Ghana’s government will introduce enforceable hiring quotas for persons with disabilities (PWDs) alongside a major legislative amendment, Deputy Education Minister Dr. Clement Apaak announced in Parliament. During the National Day for Persons with Disabilities observance, Dr. Apaak confirmed President John Mahama’s administration is prioritizing passage of the Persons with Disabilities (Amendment) Bill and a supporting Legislative Instrument to operationalize the law. The reforms aim to transform workplace inclusion through binding requirements. “The government commits to partnering with private sector employers to ensure at least 5% of their competent workforce is recruited from the disability community,” Dr. Apaak declared. He emphasized this economic empowerment measure would leverage the untapped potential of qualified PWDs across all sectors. The announcement builds on recent education reforms including free tertiary education for PWDs and sp...

Steve Winwood - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 8-27-2004

Here's another episode from that great TV show, "PBS Soundstage." This time, it stars Steve Winwood. In 2003, Winwood released the studio album "About Time." Despite this concert taking place about a year after the release, he was still touring to support that album. So four of the songs performed come from that album: "Different Light," "Bully," "Walking On," and "Why Can't We Live Together." None of the songs from that album were a hit, so it's possible you might not know them. However, "Why Can't We Live Together" is a cover of a soul hit in the 1970s by Timmy Thomas. Otherwise, he played some songs from his time with Blind Faith and Traffic in the 1960s and 70s, plus only one of his big solo hits from the 1980s ("Back in the High Life Again"). Typical episodes of this show were an hour long. However, this episode is close to an hour and a half long. That's because a DVD was relea...

Under the alias Mad Sheer Kahn : Born in Algiers in 1955, of mixed Persian and Arabic origin, resides in France. Formed his first group in 1975. In 1981, he formed a duo and adopted an image that was quite rare for the time: he spent the 1980s swathed in a turban, deliberately going against what was then the normal practice. His unconventional appearance did not deter the critics, who responded enthusiastically to his playings. In 1982 the well-known English magazine New Musical Express listed him among the ten best guitarists in the world. During this period he was in fact living in London, where he worked with Velvet Underground's muse, Nico, on the albums Drama of Exile 1 &2, and was acclaimed for his virtuosity . You can also see on that page, as well as under Hadi, he has quite a discography. This album is a mixtu...

Exhibit C-10 (7/1/25) [LAWSUIT] California Attorney General Rob Bonta Violates Equal Protection of Defendant Michael Taylor (The Vernon Patterson Dossier)

📘 Exhibit C-10: Strategic Equal Protection Framing in Light of State of California et al. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (Case No. 3:25-cv-05536) --- I. Procedural Context and Civilian Engagement On July 1, 2025, the California Attorney General Rob Bonta, along with a coalition of other states, filed State of California et al. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services et al. in the Northern District of California, alleging unlawful disclosure of protected Medicaid data by the federal government. The plaintiffs argued that this breach violated HIPAA privacy standards and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, citing disproportionate impacts on Medicaid recipients and state regulatory authority. On the same date, Michael Bernard Taylor submitted a documented civilian implication notice directly to Attorney General Bonta and the other coalition plaintiffs. This public engagement referenced and built upon the state’s own claims by asserting that: ...
