CITIZENSHIP MATTERS: IT'S NOT {THAT} COMPLICATED FOLKS; Castle Rock-WA

So … our mouthy, Trump-hating/America-bashing neighbors to the North can shut their hypocritical fly traps now.

President Trump is JUSTIFIED in upholding and insisting on America's Citizenship requirements & standards. People that come to America SPECIFICALLY to drop a child as soon as they enter American borders SHOULD NOT be grated automatic citizenship for said child, or for said mother.

There are rules & regulations set in place for Citizenship; and they were set in place for a reason. Our Founding Fathers were VERY SPECIFIC as to WHY & WHO - and there was no "confusion" at all until barak hussein obama started his shady dance & pony show.

You do not have to agree with the rules and regulations … but you certainly have to abide by them.

And barak hussein obama can go back to Hell, where he originated from; and take his hordes with him. They & their ramble-rousing won't be missed.

{{Canada sparks confusion with mass citizenship revocation

Story by Jasmine Laws~Newsweek

Defiant Left Doubles Down & the Case Against Birthright Citizenship:  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcBQ2avGhBw&t=2s)

The Canadian government appears to have been sending out letters to people across the globe who recently obtained citizenship, ordering them to return their certificates, sparking widespread confusion on social media.

According to posts on Reddit and local reports, Canadian authorities allegedly sent letters to people on Saturday who appear to have obtained their citizenship certificates in 2026, after Bill C-3 passed in December 2025, which ended the first-generation limit that had blocked thousands of people from applying for citizenship.

Losing citizenship would make someone a foreign national, and this could result in their removal from the country and a 10-year ban on reapplying for any status in Canada, according to the legal website lawyerinfo.ca.

IRCC “Actively Reviewing Files”

The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) told Newsweek that it is “aware that a limited number of people who obtained a citizenship certificate under C-3 have been notified that their file is under review.”

The IRCC said that the purpose of the review is to “determine, through an individualized process, whether the certificate was properly issued based on the evidence required by law,” adding this was a “necessary and important safeguard, and all affected individuals will have an opportunity to provide additional documentary evidence in support of their case.”

The IRCC said that if the review confirms that the individual is entitled to the certificate, it will be returned, and that it was “actively reviewing the affected files and taking the necessary steps to ensure they are assessed fairly, consistently and in accordance with the law.”

“This situation concerns the processing of individual cases and is not directly related to recent legislative changes,” it said.

What Is Bill C-3?

Bill C-3 is a 2025 Canadian law that amended the Citizenship Act to overhaul how citizenship is passed down to people born abroad. It came into force on December 15, 2025, after a court ruling found parts of the previous law unconstitutional.

The most important change was ending the long‑standing first‑generation limit, which had prevented Canadians born outside the country from passing citizenship to their children if those children were also born abroad.

Bill C-3 instead introduced a new system requiring a “substantial connection” to Canada—meaning the parent of the child had to typically spend at least three years in Canada before the child’s birth or adoption in order for that child to qualify for citizenship.

The law was seen as notable because it offered the chance of obtaining citizenship to thousands who had been denied citizenship despite having clear ties to the country—particularly Canadians living abroad with their families, or those with children born outside of Canada.

The IRCC told Newsweek that to “protect the value of Canadian citizenship, we brought in Bill C-3 - creating fair, modern rules for citizenship by descent and a requirement that citizenship applicants clearly prove their connection to Canada.”

Individuals seeking proof of citizenship through a Canadian ancestor must establish the chain of parent-child relationships through each generation and provide solid evidence to support their claim,” it said, adding that “having Canadian ancestry does not automatically mean entitlement to citizenship.

Who Is Affected?

Between April 2025 and March 2026, 285,500 new citizenships were granted in Canada, according to IRCC’s latest data. This suggests that tens of thousands of people could be affected if this applies to those who received their citizenship after Bill C-3 passed.

What Does the Letter Say?

In what appears to be an example of the letter on Reddit, seemingly sent by Peggy Sun, Registrar of Canadian Citizenship, the opening reads that a legislative provision “authorizes me to require the surrender of a certificate of citizenship where I have reasonable grounds to believe that the holder of the certificate may not be entitled to it,” adding that the receiver was believed to potentially “not be entitled to hold a Canadian certificate of citizenship.”

The letter continued with reasoning, “The following are the reasons leading to this assessment:

1. The documentation submitted in support of your proof of citizenship application is not from the original course authorities responsible for creating or maintaining historical records, such as civil registries, vital statistics agencies or other authorized government bodies.

2. When source documents are not available and/or when an applicant is unable to obtain documents from a source authority, then the applicant must provide:

i. A written explanation outlining why the source documents cannot be obtained; and

ii. Submit evidence of efforts made to obtain the documents…”

The letter added that as the required documentation was “not submitted with your proof of citizenship application, I am requiring the surrender of your certificate of citizenship.” It continued that the recipient’s citizenship status was now “under review.”

At the end, it added that there would be a chance for the recipient to “respond with further documentary evidence related to your application.”

“Should the final decision be that you are entitled to the certificate of citizenship, then it will be returned to you,” it concluded.}}

******************************

As PERTAINING SPECIFICALLY TO AMERICAN CITZENSHIP - the original citizenship clause in the U.S. Constitution was not intended to include everyone on the planet. The Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, adopted in 1868, which states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” was a deliberate change from the pre–Civil War legal doctrine that excluded many groups, especially freed slaves, from U.S. citizenship. It has absolutely NO bearing, whatsoever, on illegal foreigners (mexicans and muslims) intent on subverting Americans, stealing land in religious power grabs, and establishing illegal sub-governing communities, that blatantly ignore our Laws, call for the death of our People, and erase our Faith from our Nation's landscape. NO!

FURTHERMORE … the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Fourteenth Amendment were designed to overturn Dred Scott and establish a broad principle of citizenship by birth within the U.S., but they still required that a person be “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”; meaning they had to be under U.S. authority, not foreign control. This meant that people born in foreign territories or under foreign sovereignty were not automatically citizens.

In short, the original citizenship clause was not universal: it applied to people born or naturalized in the United States who were under its jurisdiction, not to anyone on Earth. The goal was to secure equal rights for freed slaves and other excluded groups, but it did not extend citizenship to the entire globe.

President Trump IS RIGHT to demand that Citizenship acceptance be granted only to those who pledge to become Americanized according to our Laws, lifestyle, language, ect. & to live by American Standards. There is nothing "new" or nefarious happening with that requirement.

That is the way America's Citizenship was designed.

GOOD FRIEND - BAD FRIEND~Christian Inventory; Castle Rock-WA

Can you be a good friend … and stay silent while your friend destroys their life, and torches other lives their rebellious behavior touches? Or, can you be a good friend - and step back to allow consequential lessons when a rebellious friend continues in willful destructive behaviors?

My husband & I have this same type of talk every time Kelso comes into play:

The real question is - 'Why is this a comfortable situation with you?'

He doesn't "understand" why I take issue with his friends' or family's behavior patterns.

And I, don't understand why he doesn't understand.

Respond to poor behaviors, correctly.

My understanding from a Biblical point is that bad company corrupts & staying silent about said bad behavior means that you approve of that bad behavior. And ultimately the person you refuse to make "man up" and start behaving like a decent person … will eventually disrespect you because they see that you have no moral compass while claiming to be moral.

I don't spin my wheels. Once it becomes abundantly clear to me that situations aren't going to change - I move on. Keeping a friendship seeped in bad behavior, simply because "I've known them all my life" is foolish. If the "friendship" has lasted that long, then everyone knows where they stand on issues; and if your "friend" feels comfortable doing things around you, or comfortably talking to you about those wrong things: they have no respect for you at all. And neither do you.

Silence means approval & it hurts everyone involved.

Mature people want mature friendships.

Honest people want honest friendships.

Moral people want to hang with moral friends.

Commonality seeks commonality.

Your relationships TELL a LOT about YOU.

Who & what you associate yourself with tattles loud & clear.

Ask yourself why you are allowing a bad connection to taint your life. 
MOVE ON

Christians can't judge the world - the world does not know any better … or, they are rebellious to the point of callousness & deliberately snubbing their noses at Elohim & you - like Lucifer, their Father. And sometimes you can't avoid them; but, you do not have to go out of your way to make a place for them in your inner circle - the place of close companionship. They are an unruly flame that will seriously scar you and burn everyone and everything in their proximity to the ground, with their willful recklessness.

The waffling excuse of "it's none of my business how they live" is a self-serving, lame, excuse for you to indulge in a wrong-minded situation. IF they are DOING IT in front of you; IF they are OPENLY DISCUSSING IT with YOU - then, IT IS {YOUR} BUSINESS. They have made "it" your business. And you have a decision to make. Are you a true-compass Christian; or are you a lip-service Christian? Why do you continue to make time for them and their bad behavior that you know is wrong? Why are you continuing to allow them to disrespect you? It's true that they are not Christians … BUT YOU ARE. Why are you not sharing with them that there is a better way to enjoy Life? Why are you not encouraging them to be a better person - for themselves, for your friendship, for the people around them? Who you chose to hang with IS [your business]. And it reflects, affecting the people close to you. Waffling taints relationships & is an unfair burden on those you claim to love.

Christians ARE to judge the spirit among their brethren and prod them out of the weeds & back on track. If people claiming to be Christians get angrily "offended!" when their bad behavior becomes the topic of conversation - and if they refuse to behave, let them go; their attitude highlights the reality that they are "not of us, and never have been": they were pretenders & they will foul your Life up if not nipped in the bud.

IF people I personally know and associate with, tell me that they are Christians … then, I am going to EXPECT them to act accordingly. Or cut them lose without hesitation. I have enough troubles of my own - I don't need, or want theirs.

You can love a person without getting down in the muck with them. Elohim does it all the time. He expects us to understand that simple understanding.

So, I really do not understand why people claiming to understand … don't "understand".

Practical Takeaway: Scriptures (Old Covenant & New Covenant) urges those who claim kinship with sons & daughters of the Most High God -  to seek godly, encouraging, and morally upright companions who will lift you up and help you grow in faith … & we are warned against the dangers of negative influences, reminding us to be discerning in our friendships: “The company of the godless is barren” (Proverbs 4:23).

So choose your inner circle companions wisely, for the choice you make, shapes who you are and who you become; this admonition is often paraphrased as, “You are the company you keep”. A truth Scripture affirms through many verses, such as these:

Psalm 1:1-2: “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.”

Proverbs 13:20: “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.”

Proverbs 12:26: “The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.”

1 Corinthians 15:33: “Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.”

2 Corinthians 6:14: “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?”

The Word, is the Christians Handbook on Godly Character, Righteous Living, & Holy Relational Matters. It's the standard for Life in real-time, down here on Earth = it doesn't apply in Heaven: Heaven is our Graduation for completion of lessons learned & applied.

The modern idea that a Christian can become as the worldly to save the worldly is a direct lie passed to your itching ears from the lips of Lucifer & his imps. If you feel perfectly comfortable & at ease among blatant sinful behavior … your character, as well as your salvation status is in serious question - and you need to get real with yourself and reevaluate your soul situation. Then have a heart-to heart with whoever (relative or friend) that you have been willfully & sinfully engaging with: and if necessary carry scissors and cut the rotten umbilical cord.

MEMORIES LIGHT THE CORNERS OF MY MIND; Castle Rock-WA

This Memory came up on my FB Feed this morning …

Memory: Bob planned this hiking trip on the sly & surprised me one morning, when he whisked me off to enjoy a Day on "my mountain"; Mt. Rainier National Park~2014
Beginning the hike on the trail head leaving Sunrise Lodge, a very wide snow bank covered the trail a ways. My sneakers were soaked, after crossing that snow patch. I didn't care 🙂
My gentle giant waiting for me to catch up; I kept getting sidetracked with the chipmunks. LOL
The trail just kept going up, and up, and up ... it was a pretty steep incline for 2 old duffers - but we were determined.
Beautiful panoramic view, seen from the Wonderland Trail; Mt. Rainier National Park~2014
The view of Mt. Rainier's crown was pretty cool. Box Canyon is directly behind that peak.
Bob made pretty good time with his bum leg; I was proud of him. And my heart was full of love because I knew he was doing this for me, and it was difficult for him.
NO WAY I was crossing the snow bank! Bob was the daredevil. It was straight off the edge on the other side, and Bob toed it to get a look at what lay at the bottom: and teased his chicken little (moi) when he snapped this picture 😉
He took this picture of the lake at the bottom so I could see it later on at home. He was always a thoughtful and loving husband to me.
Walking the loop in Box Canyon - just over that tallest peak of Mount Rainier is where we just came from. I love this place. But I don't think I will ever be going back alone.

I did go back to Box Canyon, solo lobo; 2 or 3 times before Holland came into my Life - however, I avoided the Sunrise aspect of the trip: NOTHING could compel me to try the Sunrise Lodge Road again! That was hair-rising enough the 1st time around, with Bob!

I did the 1st return as a dare to myself: I was missing my mountain, and pulled my big girl panties on & turned the Highlander's ignition with Bob's remembered encouragement echoing in my thoughts, "You can do it. Baby. You & I both know that you can do anything you set your mind to." I set my mind to "GO!" and off I went, in the full confidence Bob always inspired me with.

The subsequent return visit wasn't so scary; and as always, was enjoyable.

August 20, 2022~NEW ADVENTURES FOR MY NEW LIFE ~Shabbat Blessing: (https://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2022/08/new-adventures-for-my-new-life-shabbat.html)

But now, my lungs aren't as strong as they used to be - and even though Holland also encourages me in things I want to do … Life has changed & is taking me in different directions, now: and with each passing year, high elevations are too tricky to do solo lobo.

I miss my majestic mountain.

But, if I close my eyes and focus on it - I can feel the coolness of the atmosphere, I can smell the crisp & pungent alpine air, and in my mind - I am again walking the trails & enjoying the beautiful scenery.

I had a Good Life.

I have a Good Life.

I am a fortunate woman.
