District of Columbia Act 1871 De Facto formed 2
Knowing the government of the District of Columbia was already created into a government and so formed into a municipal incorporation in 1801 under the District of Columbia Acts, we wonder, even with Congress' constitutional authority to pass any law within the ten mile square of the District, how do you create, or incorporate, for the first time a municipal government that has already been in existence as a municipal corporation for over 70 years? The obvious answer is, It's impossible! There is no way to pass an Organic Act when the Charter Act is already in place, because the two words (organic and charter) have the same meaning—The First Act. Even Congress cannot change history; though historians can make it appear to change by rewriting it for those unwilling to study the past from the records. The records speak for themselves only if we study them.
When you consider the historical facts, the only meaning left for the terms given in the opening paragraph of the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 (and that which follows) is, the municipal corporation that was created is a private corporation owned by the actual government. And the only government created in that Act was the same government any private corporation has within the operation of its own corporate construct. Thus, we call it Corp. U.S. We also note Congress reserved the right, granted them in the Constitution, to complete dictatorial authority over their Corp. U.S. construct, without regard for its internal operations or officers. Thus, Congress can use it within the ten mile square as they see fit.

Washington, DC to Seattle, WA: A Complete Road Trip
This video begins in Washington, DC around dawn on May 3, 2018 and concludes at SeaTac Airport in Sea-Tac, WA, just south of Seattle, in the late morning of May, 6, 2018. The drive was 3,084 miles (4,963 kilometers). All of this video was recorded in real-time, but this video is played back at 4x time-lapse speed. (The links to the real-time videos are below, and the hyper-lapse versions of this video will be uploaded at some point.) Nearly all of this entire video was done in the daytime; however, there is about a 20-minute section between Caldwell, Idaho and eastern Oregon done in darkness as it was before sunrise.
The states passed through are
District of Columbia (0:00:20-0:02:02)
Virginia (0:02:02-0:52:00)
West Virginia (0:52:00-1:36:28)
Kentucky (1:36:28-2:18:16)
Indiana (2:18:16-2:44:19)
Illinois (2:44:19-3:11:01)
Missouri (3:11:01-4:10:05)
Kansas (4:10:05-5:34:14)
Colorado (5:34:14-7:17:47)
Utah (7:17:47-8:27:32)
Idaho (8:27:32-9:20:40)
Oregon (9:20:40-10:04:18)
Washington (10:04:18-10:58:48)
The highest elevation of the drive was 11,158 feet (3,401 meters) at the Eisenhower Tunnel in Colorado (6:22:45), which was also the continental divide. The hottest temperature of the drive was 86 F (30 C) between western West Virginia and eastern Kentucky, as well as near Jerome, Idaho. The coldest temperature of the drive was 24 F (-5 C) at Vail Pass, Colorado (6:27:55).
This video is a long time coming, but it is finally uploaded. This is the first of many videos I will be uploading in the upcoming months. Unlike the CA-NY video, this video was entirely done in one trip with the same vehicle - a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder. Also, this video was shot using the Garmin Virb Ultra 30, which records GPS information. The position, elevation, and heading are shown on the video. Since 2/3 of all viewers of my videos are from outside the U.S., I set everything to metric. I plan to use English units for the real-time versions, however.

Mayor Bowser Announces Legislative Reforms, 9/14/17
Mayor Muriel Bowser announces a series of legislative reforms to simplify the process of sealing arrest and conviction records of DC residents.
The legislative reforms include: mandating the automatic sealing of arrest records in cases that are not prosecuted and cases that do not result in a conviction; shortening the time period a person must wait before his or her record can be sealed; and ordering a review of the types of convictions that are eligible for record sealing.
“We know that when we remove barriers to housing, education, and employment for some residents by giving them a clean slate, we are actually building a safer, stronger city for all residents,” said Mayor Bowser. “Through this legislation, we will give more individuals, more families, and more neighborhoods a fair shot at success.”
Sealing a person’s criminal records prevents a third party from obtaining his or her records when conducting a background check, but still allows law enforcement, the judicial system, and special employers (those who work with children, elderly, or another special needs population) to access them.
The Mayor’s proposed legislation will overturn the current law that states individuals must prove they deserve to have their record sealed even if there were never any findings of guilt. Currently, the burden is on the individual to file a petition with the Superior Court asking the judge to allow the sealing of their record, and the judge has the discretion to reject the petition. There are a limited number of crimes eligible to be sealed, but the large majority of criminal offenses – including almost every felony – are never eligible. Additionally, there are significant waiting periods before a person is eligible to even file a petition with the Superior Court, and resolution of that petition can take up to six months.
Each year, more than 10,000 people seek assistance from the Public Defender Service to have their records sealed in DC Superior Court. Several local nonprofit organizations and local law school clinics also provide record sealing services.
Since coming into office, Mayor Bowser’s top priority has been ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents. After introducing the Safer Stronger DC plan in 2015, the District has seen significant reductions in crime. In addition to working with MPD to enhance the department’s community policing efforts, the Mayor continues to work with local and federal partners to improve Washington, DC’s criminal justice system. In the fall of 2016, the Mayor announced a new partnership between the Mayor’s Office, the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, and the DC Attorney General that will fund eight new attorney positions at the Office of the Attorney General. Several months later, the Mayor signed legislation that closed a critical loophole in DC’s GPS monitoring legislation.
Year to date, violent crime is down 26 percent, robberies are down 31 percent, and homicides are down 19 percent.
The Great Liberal Zombies Migration of the North East Begins

Mass Exodus: More People Left New Jersey Than Any Other State In 2018
Over the last four decades, United Van Lines has published its National Movers Study, which tracks customers’ state-to-state migration trends over the past year, revealed a mass exodus of residents from New Jersey than any other state in 2018.
Last year, New Jersey displaced Illinois to take the top spot on the list of most-moved from states. According to the study, 66.8% of New Jersey’s moves in 2018 were outbound, the highest rate across the country.
Illinois (65.9%), Connecticut (62%), New York (61.5%), and Kansas (58.7%) were included on the top five most moved-from states.
Among age demographics, New Jersey had a great year in attracting millennials, the state saw 7.97% more moves to the state than moves away. However, baby boomers were leaving the state 10% more often than arrived.
Some of the reasons for moving out of New Jersey, according to the National Movers Study, were new jobs (34.73%), retirement (34.51%), and family (20.44%), followed by lifestyle (17.36%) and by health (6.15%).
More than two-thirds of the people who moved to New Jersey in 2018 (61.84%) arrived because of new employment
“As the nation’s largest household goods mover, our study allows us to identify the most and least popular states for residential relocation throughout the country, year after year,” said Eily Cummings, director of corporate communications at United Van Lines. “These findings accurately reflect not only where Americans are moving to and from, but also the reasons why.”
Meanwhile, Ohio, Massachusetts, Iowa, Montana, and Michigan were bumped off the list of the most-moved from states.
Vermont, whose population is the second-smallest in the country, was the only state in the Northeast to see improved inbound migrations.
Four Western states were on the top five moved to list — Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona.
The Carolinas, Washington, South Dakota and the District of Columbia were very close in making the top inbound list.
“The data collected by United Van Lines aligns with longer-term migration patterns to southern and western states, trends driven by factors like job growth, lower costs of living, state budgetary challenges and more temperate climates,” said Michael Stoll, economist and professor in the Department of Public Policy at UCLA.
“Unlike a few decades ago, retirees are leaving California, instead choosing other states in the Pacific West and Mountain West. We’re also seeing young professionals migrating to vibrant, metropolitan economies, like Washington, DC, and Seattle, Stoll said.
The study coincides with a 2017 report that New Jersey lost population for the first time in a decade. With a historically low birth rate and population growth that is stalling, New Jersey could find itself in economic trouble and the loss of Congressional seats in the coming years.

Mayor Bowser Hosts Press Availability to Kick Off 2019, 1/7/19
Mayor Muriel Bowser kicks off 2019 by introducing legislation that will support the District’s efforts to build safer, stronger neighborhoods, expand opportunity, and give all residents a fair shot.
Sexual Assault Victim’s Rights Amendment Act of 2019:
The Sexual Assault Victim’s Rights Amendment Act of 2019 builds on the Mayor’s 2017 legislative proposal by incorporating feedback from victims/survivors, advocates, and subject matter experts to strengthen the introduced policies and improve outcomes for victims/survivors of sexual assault. The updated SAVRAA 2019 include creates a definition of sexual assault counselors that mirrors the definitions of domestic violence counselor and human trafficking counselors already in DC law; requires additional training for advocates working with youth who are victims of sexual assault; clarifies confidential communications between sexual assault counselors and sexual assault victims; creates the opportunity for the provision of coordinated SANE exams in other locations throughout the District; and expands membership of the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) to include all community-based organizations providing advocacy services.
Ghost Guns Prohibition Amendment Act of 2019:
The Ghost Guns Prohibition Amendment Act of 2019 will prohibit the registration and possession of undetectable ghost guns in the District of Columbia. Specifically, the legislation defines a “ghost gun” as a firearm that, after the removal of all parts other than a receiver, cannot be detected by a metal detector; establishes the corresponding definition of a receiver; prohibits “ghost guns” from being registered; and prohibits the possession of a ghost gun.
Second Chance Amendment Act of 2019:
The Second Chance Amendment Act of 2019 will radically reform the District’s record sealing process by mandating automatic sealing for non-convictions, shortening the waiting periods before a person is eligible to seal their record, and expanding the eligibility of who can seal their record. For individuals who are arrested but not prosecuted, and for people who are charged but not convicted, the legislation would result in their records being automatically sealed within 90 days of the termination of the case. For those with convictions, the legislation mandates that a panel of legal experts review the types of convictions that should be eligible for sealing; it also reduces the waiting time to seal those records.
At today’s press conference, Mayor Bowser also announced a series of appointments in her Administration:
Hanseul Kang, reappointed as the State Superintendent of Education.
Ms. Kang has led the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), the District of Columbia’s state education agency, since 2015. Under Kang’s leadership, the District of Columbia has continued to make major strides in student achievement outcomes and OSSE has taken important steps to sustain, accelerate, and deepen this progress across DC.
Lindsey Maxwell, to be the Director of the Office of Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining.
Mr. Maxwell currently serves as the as the Supervisory Attorney of the Public Employee Relations Board. In this capacity, he oversees the legal operations of the Agency and litigates all cases in DC Courts where the agency is a party.
Lindsey Parker, to be the Acting Chief Technology Officer.
Ms. Parker has served as Mayor Bowser’s Deputy Chief of Staff since 2015. In this capacity, she oversees day-to-day operations of a 100-person engagement team, manages the budget of the Executive Office of the Mayor, and leads strategic planning initiatives.
Andrew Trueblood, to be Acting Director of the Office of Planning.
Mr. Trueblood has been serving as the interim Director of the Office of Planning (OP) since November 2018. Prior to moving to OP, he was the Chief of Staff in the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) where he guided economic policy development, including legislative and budget proposals, and oversaw the operations of the 80-person agency. Mr. Trueblood also oversaw policy coordination among across 11 District agencies, including planning, housing, transportation, regulatory, and creative agencies.

DC CRIMINAL LAWYER in the District of Columbia discusses Possession of Prohibited weapon in dc
criminallawyersdc.com
superlawyers.tv
rollinsandchan.com
This video discusses the law in the District of Columbia of Possession of prohibited weapon. DC Code 22-4515.
rollinsandchan.com
Hi ladies and gentleman, Mark Rollins here. I'm a licensed attorney here in Washington, D.C. I'm also licensed in the State of Maryland and practice primarily in the area of criminal law.
Today, we are going to be discussing possession of prohibited weapon in D.C. Now, this may be shocking to some people because possession of some of these things seem like they are very commonplace, such as a slingshot. It may sound like it's very commonplace, but actually possession of a slingshot in the District of Columbia carries one year and/or $1000 fine, as listed in the code under 224515A.
I know I don't really need to tell you the code. What I'm going to do is just kind of go over what possession of prohibited weapon is in D.C., and you will see that the code, as laid out in D.C. code (again, 224515A), lists a series of weapons that if you are caught with these weapons you are guilty of the crime of possession of prohibited weapon. There is also a sub-section B, and that says that if you're in possession of a dangerous weapon or some other weapons with the intent to use unlawfully against another then you could also be charged with this crime.
Let me just go over the first section of Section A of that D.C. code that talks about possession of prohibited weapon. In order to be convicted of possession of a prohibited weapon in D.C., if you have a machine gun, sawed off shotgun, a blackjack, slingshot, sand club (I don't know what that is), sand bag (I don't know what a sand bag is), a switch blade (now you know what a switchblade is), metal knuckles (that means you're putting those things across your knuckles), or any other application or device that can be used to muffle the sound of a gun, you can be convicted of possession of prohibited weapon.
If you are in possession of any of those things you can be charged with possession of prohibited weapon. Now, sub-section B of that same section says you can also be convicted of possession of prohibited weapon if you have an imitation pistol, a dagger, a dirk (don't ask me what a dirk is, I don't know), a razor, or a knife with a blade longer than 3 inches and you have the intent to use unlawfully against another, and you could be charged with possession of a prohibited weapon as well. I know it sounds kind of strange but some of those items that are listed there ... Because I don't know what half of those things do either, but someone does and if you have a charge for something like that our job would be to explore that.
Now, what's the maximum penalty that you can be faced on possession of prohibited weapon? Well, the maximum penalty for possession of prohibited weapon in District of Columbia is one year and/or $1000 fine. An exception to that is if you have a felony.
If you had a prior felony or you have been convicted of possession of prohibited weapon in the past they can actually charge this as a felony against you and that carries a whole different ballgame because that carries ten years in jail. I hope that helps to describe what possession of prohibited weapon is in D.C.. What I want you to do is, if you are charged with that you contact our office. That's what we do. We fight those charges and we'll fight to the end zealously for you.
Contact our office and discuss your possession of prohibited weapon and we would be more than happy to talk to you about it. Thanks for watching and tune into our channel. Thanks.
May 15th, 2018 Bannon's Plans To Take Down Trump And Flynn's Compromise
George Webb is a Washington DC based journalist who discovered the stashed hard drives and blackberries of the famed DNC and DCCC servers, dampening the Trump Russia narrative of the DNC. George Webb produced a fact witness named Andre Taggart that testified that Imran Awan, the key consultant to DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, stored Congressional marked hard drives and blackberries at his Lorton, Virginia home. In addition, George Webb also produced a Congressional blackberry from an informant from the office of Senator Joe Biden coded named Deep Blackberry that may have been Trump Takedown leader, William Taylor. Webb has researched all the Imran Awan safe houses and has researched occupants and businesses associated with over a dozen Awan properties. For quick summary of the three year video series, we recommend watching the YouTube video playlist Awan 911 - The Webb Report - What The Mueller Report Left Out available here.
George Webb is a journalist based in Washington, DC best known for finding the alleged DNC Pried Hard Drives and DNC Blackberries at the Virginia home of a convicted felon who worked for 45 different US Congressmen including a very close relationship with DNC Chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and had access to all DNC and DCC Server passwords. Imran Awan was a Pakistan National that later became a US citizen, but he still worked nine months a year in Pakistan while drawing a $160K a year salary in Congress, sending Terabytes of US Congressional data and hundreds of suspicious payments to Pakistan each year. The House Inspector General, Theresa Grafenstine, described this activity as nefarious.

Imran Awan has also been closely associated with the Clintons. Hillary Clinton appeared to directly Anthony Weiner to have Imran Awan's staff of four Pakistanis and one Ukrainian configure Blackberries for off the record State Department negotiotions, and quite possibly, the Iran Nuclear Deal negotiations in a Wikileaks email.
