Only Congress May Draw the Sword
Alexander H. Stephen's criticism of President James Polk sending American troops to the Rio Grande in July 1845 and threatening Mexico, inspired his arraignment of Lincoln in 1861 for leading the country into an avoidable war.
In Lincoln's case, his party's governors provided the troops for his unconstitutional actions and invasion of Southern States, and subjugated a free people with an "oath of allegiance administered at the point of a bayonet." Stephens foresaw the treatment the South would receive.
"From [his] first speech in Congress to his last before the war, his straight line of endeavor was to preserve the Union under the Constitution. His opposition to Texan annexation was not pleasing to the South . . . and the first to bring him into national prominence, contained the oft-quoted sentences which revived against him at the South the charges of abolitionism while at the North he was accused of laboring for slavery extension:
"My reason for wishing it [the slavery limit] settled in the beginning, I do not hesitate to make known. I fear the excitement growing out of the agitation hereafter may endanger the harmony and even existence of our present Union . . . I am no defender of slavery in the abstract. I would rejoice to see all the sons of Adam's family in the enjoyment of those rights set forth in the Declaration of Independence as natural and inalienable . . ."
The right of the Union to "acquire territory" and the wisdom of doing so were questioned. He declared for expansion but against imperialism: "This [annexation] is an important step settling the principle of our future extension. We are reminded of the growth of the Roman Empire which fell of its own weight; and of England, who is hardly able to keep together her extensive parts. Rome extended her dominions by conquest, she compelled provinces to bear the yoke; England extends hers upon the principle of colonization; her distant dependencies are subject to her laws but are deprived of the rights of representation.
With us, a new system has commenced, characteristic of the age. It is a system of a Republic formed by the union of separate independent States, yielding so much of their sovereign powers as are necessary for national and foreign purposes, and retaining all others for local and domestic objects. Who shall undertake to say how far this system may not go?"
He said, speaking of Mexican territory:
"No principle is more dangerous than that of compelling other people to adopt our form of government. It is not only wrong in itself, but contrary to the whole spirit and genius of liberty we enjoy."
Asking if the Mexican war was waged for conquest:
"If so, I protest . . . I am no enemy to the extension of our domain . . . but it is not to be accomplished by the sword. We can only properly enlarge by voluntary accessions."
In his denunciation of [President James] Polk's abuse of power . . . :
"Only Congress can constitutionally draw the sword. The President cannot. The war was brought upon us while Congress was in session and without our knowledge. The new and strange doctrine is put forth that Congress has nothing to do with the conduct of the war; that the President is entitled to uncontrolled management; that we can do nothing but vote men and money to whatever extent his folly and caprice may dictate.
Neighboring States may be subjugated, extensive territories annexed, provincial governments erected, the rights of conscience violated, and the oath of allegiance administered at the point of the bayonet . . ."

Exercising All the War Powers of Congress
The Founders were wary of a standing army and gave only to Congress the power to raise troops and declare war. Should a sitting president venture to call for troops at his whim, as did Lincoln, the republic of those Founders was at an end.
Lincoln and the governors of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New York who supplied him with troops for the purpose of waging war against other States and adhering to their enemies, were all were guilty of treason according to Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution.
There was a peaceful alternative which was not pursued by Lincoln and his party, and Southern Unionists pleas for peaceful diplomacy and compromise were ignored in favor of intentional duplicity at Charleston.
"The day after Fort Sumter surrendered President Lincoln called on the several States for seventy-five thousand militia for ninety days service. The troops were to suppress "combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the Marshals by law, a curiously legalistic phraseology probably adopted in an attempt to bring the proclamation under the Acts of 1795 and 1807 governing the calling out of the posse comitatus.
Amid immense enthusiasm, the established militia regiments in the eastern cities moved at once. Pennsylvania troops, a few companies, reached Washington the next day; Massachusetts troops came within four days, in spite of the violent resistance to the transfer of the regiment across Baltimore between the railroad stations; New York's first regiment was but a day behind Massachusetts.
The Governors of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri sharply declined to honor the President's requisition for troops to be used against the seven States of the Confederacy. The Governor of Delaware reported that he had no authority for raising troops.
Neither, for that matter, had President Lincoln, under strict construction of the laws. In his first proclamation he called Congress into special session, but not to meet until the Fourth of July, more than two and a half months later.
In the meanwhile, free from interference, he drove ahead to organize his war, making laws or breaking them as he had need to, creating armies, enlarging the Navy, declaring blockades, exercising all the war powers of Congress.
Before the guns spoke at Sumter and the President answered with his call for troops, there was everywhere, in the North, in the Border States unhappily torn between loyalties, and even in those States which had seceded, a strong party for peace. The fire of Sumter swept away all that in the North; the call of Lincoln for troops, in the South.
The New Orleans True Delta, which had opposed secession and sought peace, "spurned the compact with them who would enforce its free conditions with blood" — an attitude that was general among those who were not original secessionists."

Saddled with Another Absolutist Regime
Alexander Hamilton was no friend of the Articles of Confederation and the decentralized republic it represented, but he did know the limits of newly-created federal power within the new constitution. His view was that States retained any authority not specifically delegated, and that State troops, as in 1861-1865, would constitutionally resist any invasion to preserve their independence and sovereignty.
James Madison wrote of this as well, stating that more than one State might band together, as in the later Confederate States of America, to resist any and all encroachments on State sovereignty by the federal agent created by the States.
Alexis de Toqueville, the French traveler in the America of 1831-32, saw firsthand the powers of "this strange new democratic monster" that would within thirty years gain control of the federal government and consolidate all, by force, into one common mass.
"In Toqueville's opinion, the many levels of responsibility acted as buffers against the tyranny of the majority that ordinarily characterized democracy. Then United States possessed a centralized government but not a centralized administration.
To what extent American self-government was an outgrowth of the federal constitution, or merely a by-product of their habits and experiences, remains to be seen. This much, however, is clear: no subject so agitated the founding fathers as the possible loss of local responsibility under a federal government. The new constitution had to be designed in a way that maximized State autonomy.
As Hamilton put it in Federalist 62, "The equal vote allowed to each State [i.e. in the Senate] is at once a constitutional recognition of the portion of sovereignty remaining in the individual States, and an instrument for preserving that residual sovereignty."
Although Hamilton favored a centralized economic authority, he argued that the federal government could not legitimately use the taxing power as an excuse to interfere in the internal government of the States. In Federalist 28, he argued that State militias would be called out to resist invasions of sovereignty.
[James] Madison concurred, and in Federalist 46 suggested that the States would band together to prevent such encroachments. Even the arch-federalist John Marshall declared (in McCulloch v. Maryland) that "no political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American people into one common mass."
Interference in the life of local communities had been one of the complaints against the royal government. The anti-Federalists were afraid that, by adopting the Federal Constitution, they were saddling themselves with another absolutist regime. Mass democracy, as Toqueville realized, was dangerous."

The American Right of Revolution
The northeastern United States of the late 1820s were sufficiently prosperous to have a large group of "substantial citizens" . . . manufacturers and journalists interested in the cause of domestic industry, and their purpose was to influence the passage of a new tariff act." For the most part these men were industrialists and focused on increased profits, not national stability.
The South was in economic distress at the time and the new, higher tariff "seemed to end once and for all any prospect of relief, and many [Southerners] were ready for outright rebellion, even as New England had been in 1814."
For South Carolina to nullify a federal law it viewed as obnoxious and injurious to its citizens, was a full expression of the Tenth Amendment — inserted into the Constitution for an obvious purpose. The next logical step of an injured State would be peacefully withdrawing from a political union which no longer fulfilled the purposes for which it was formed. And if withdrawal was met with violence, revolution was next.
"Controversial as Nullification was in the absence of original records before 1828-1833, Americans still continued to believe in federalism and States' rights. In the words of Alexander Johnston, "Almost every State in the Union in turn declared its own sovereignty and denounced as almost treasonable similar declarations by other States."
Herman V. Ames in fact compiled a "collection of documents on the relation of the States to the Federal Government" in 1911. They were "selected especially," he observed, "with a view to illustrate the development of the "compact theory" of the Constitution and the doctrine of "State Rights,' State opposition to the Federal Judiciary, and the different phases of the slavery controversy, culminating in the secession movement."
That we believe otherwise today, in Nullification's unconstitutionality and [John C.] Calhoun's and the South's apostasy from the beliefs of the founders and framers, is explained by another and longer era of historical amnesia by which original intentions as described herein in length were not so much forgotten as between 1789 and 1819, but purposely misinterpreted both to nullify the Nullifiers of South Carolina and to establish a mythical history for a new nation in the making that was the central development of the years after the War of 1812 and until the Civil War.
While this more liberal-democratic-egalitarian-nationalist America was yet inchoate as the confused politics of the 1820s and 1830s inform us, it was there nonetheless in Jacksonian Democracy and nationalism and radical abolitionism which were, it is forgotten, minority movements. The union of the States persisted with the 18th century Whig-republican ideology still extant as the core set of beliefs within the misnamed Democratic party that was really republican with a small "r."
The liberal-in-a-neo-Hamiltonian sense-Whigs of the 19th century co-existed long enough to make party politics interesting and popular and the preserve the old union of the States. If not republicans, most Americans before the Civil War remained at least federalists. Nullification may have come and gone, but the "right of revolution" continued to be accepted as an original intention and the ultimate means to preserve liberty."

"Who Shall Restrain the Will of the People?"
The American Founders foresaw the problem of abuse of power and the rise of a president who would cut the shackles of the Constitution, though they more feared sectionalism and an evil combination of the branches of government.
The abuse of power arose with a president who fomented war upon a State, which is treason under the Constitution, raised an army without the consent of Congress, and threatened to arrest and imprison all who defied him. With the formerly federal government afterward under absolute executive and congressional control, the schools educating young citizens on their fealty to national power.
James Louis Petrigu (1789-1863) was a South Carolina Unionist and served as that State's attorney-general. His stated faith in education as the bulwark of a republic was unfortunately upset by government control of the schools.
"As Petigru understood it, the United States Constitution confirmed what the Revolution had aimed to achieve. Reversing the Confederation's dispersal of power was but a minor part of its accomplishment, for it had by its division of legitimate governmental power between the individual States and the federal union ensured the Revolution's goals of restricting centralized public authority in the interests of individual liberty.
But individual freedom, as Petigru said in his 1844 Fourth of July oration, required positive government as well as restraints on legitimate power. This too the Constitution had accomplished with its system of checks and balances. Without both the powers allotted and the restraints imposed, "there would be no barrier between a dominant majority and the object they mean to effect."
Thus, by creating a constitutional union that divided sovereignty between State and nation and checked the evil of concentrated power in any one branch of government, the American people had fulfilled the promise of their revolution.
But the problem of abuse of power was not obviated by the broadly democratic underpinning of the American experiment. Nowhere did Petigru more clearly address that dilemma than in the question he asked that Independence Day audience: "For who shall control where all are equal, or how shall the people restrain the will of the people?"
The best means to control the popular passions implied in his question was education. If a republic was to survive, he thought, its government must provide the schools necessary to cultivate in all its citizens the intellectual independence that was "the bright side of Democracy."
Without access to knowledge, citizens would lack the ability to challenge their government, and individuals the means to protect their freedom . . . [and] withstand the force of majority opinion. And given Petigru's opinion that "the Majority are wicked is a truth that passed long ago into a proverb," republican government could not long survive unless it sponsored that learning, for "what hope is there for the human race when there is no minority?"

The Emergence of the Radical
John C. Calhoun witnessed the rise of Northern radicalism and his keen political insight saw a problematic future for the American South. He did not live to see the secession crisis fully develop, but his countrymen later anticipated "that Lincoln's election was only the first step" toward the eventual destruction of their political liberty and the Union of their fathers.
Calhoun accurately predicted that the North would monopolize the new federal territories and acquire a three-fourths majority in Congress to force a restructuring of the Union. Once the South's freedmen were admitted to the franchise by the North's radical Congress, Republican political hegemony was virtually uninterrupted until 1913.
"In the 1830's . . . the North had become a prolific seedbed of radical thought. The rural South, on the other hand, showed little tolerance for radicals. The hostility to the proponents of revolutionary ideas seems at first inconsistent with the individualism which Southerners generally displayed. The Southern brand of individualism, however, was of manners and character rather than of the mind.
The Southerner vigorously resisted the pressure of outside government, he was cavalier in the observance of the laws; the planter on his semi-feudal estate was a law unto himself. The yeomen, too, living largely on land that they owned and regarding themselves as "the sovereign people," were among the freest and most independent of Americans.
[In the 1840s and 1850s], editors, preachers, and politicians launched a vigorous propaganda campaign against Southern youth attending Northern schools and colleges. In the minds of conservative Southerners public education now became associated with the "isms" of the North – abolitionism, feminism, pacifism, Fourierism, Grahamism. Thus Southerners tended to regard the great majority of Northern people as sympathetic to the wilds visions and schemes of reform advocated by the northern extremists.
For many years Yankee professors and teachers had staffed Southern colleges and schools to a large extent, but in the last two decades of the antebellum period a pronounced hostility arose against the employment of educators from the North.
When [University of North Carolina] President David L. Swain defended the appointment [of a Northern teacher, he cited] earlier examples [of] employing foreign professors, the highly influential [Fayetteville News & Observer] editor, E.J. Hale replied: "In [two Southern] institutions, filled with foreigners and Northern men, there have been most deplorable outbreaks & riots and rows. Both have been noted for the prevalence and propagation of infidel notions to religion."

North Carolina's State Flag
The original North Carolina Republic flag of 1861 was altered in 1885 with only the red and blue colors rearranged, and the lower date announcing the date of secession changed to "May 20th, 1775," the date of the Halifax Resolutions.
This mattered little as both dates, 1775 and 1861, "places the Old North State in the very front rank, both in point of time and in spirit, among those that demanded unconditional freedom and absolute independence from foreign power. This document stands out as one of the great landmarks in the annals of North Carolina history."
Militarily invaded and conquered in 1865, North Carolinians were forced to forever renounce political independence, and thus written in a new State constitution imported from Ohio.
"The flag is an emblem of great antiquity and has commanded respect and reverence from practically all nations from earliest times. History traces it to divine origin, the early peoples of the earth attributing to it strange, mysterious, and supernatural powers.
Indeed, our first recorded references to the standard and the banner, of which our present flag is but a modified form, are from sacred rather than from secular sources. We are told that it was around the banner that the prophets of old rallied their armies and under which the hosts of Israel were led to war, believing, as they did, that it carried with it divine favor and protection.
Since that time all nations and all peoples have had their flags and emblems, though the ancient superstition regarding their divine merits and supernatural powers has disappeared from among civilized peoples. The flag now, the world over, possesses the same meaning and has a uniform significance to all nations wherever found.
It stands as a symbol of strength and unity, representing the national spirit and patriotism of the people over whom it floats. In both lord and subject, the ruler and the ruled, it commands respect, inspires patriotism, and instills loyalty both in peace and in war.
[In the United States], each of the different States in the Union has a "State flag" symbolic of its own individuality and domestic ideals. Every State in the American Union has a flag of some kind, each expressive of some particular trait, or commemorative of some historical event, of the people over which it floats.
The constitutional convention of 1861, which declared for [North Carolina's] secession from the Union, adopted what it termed a State flag. On May 20, 1861, the Convention adopted the resolution of secession which declared the State out of the Union.
This State flag, adopted in 1861, is said to have been issued to the first ten regiments of State troops during the summer of that year and was borne by them throughout the war, being the only flag, except the National and Confederate colors, used by the North Carolina troops during the Civil War. The first date [on the red union and within a gilt scroll in semi-circular form], "May 20th, 1775" refers to the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence . . . The second date appearing on the State flag is that of "May 20th 1861 . . ."

Results of Confederate Independence
War against the South commenced in April 1861 was not the only option open to Lincoln. He could have followed his predecessor's view that he had no constitutional authority to wage war against a State – which is treason. The proper option would have been for a president to facilitate peace and call a convention of States to iron out differences, and find compromises all considered best. This is how the federation of States was created by the Founders.
Neither was war the only solution to African slavery in the United States – recall that Lincoln offered Southern States no interference with slavery if they would return to the Union. The South was seeking independence, and wanted to solve the riddle of slavery within State boundaries as the Northern States had done – in their own time, and at their own pace.
"It is legitimate to inquire, in view of all the facts discussed, what would have been the effect on our condition, our institutions, and our future relations if the Confederate States had established their independence. I can, of course, only give my opinion, founded on certain physical features of the country, on certain racial characteristics of the people North and South, and on the sentiments of other nations, as well as on the fundamental principles for which we contended.
Emancipation. – There would have been certainly the gradual emancipation of the slaves on the following grounds:
The sentiment of the civilized world was opposed to slavery; and though our system was misunderstood and misjudged, yet no nation can hold out against a universal moral sentiment.
There was a feeling throughout the South from the beginning of the republic favorable to emancipation as soon as it could be done without danger to all concerned. If the abolition propaganda had not aroused opposition by its unjust misrepresentations and denunciations of slaveholders, the Border States would have brought it about several years before the war. A
s it was, throughout the South there was a growing effort to correct to confessed evils of the system. The example of the Border States would have necessitated some form of emancipation, some modification of the system in the States farther south that would have preserved the white man's control, while giving the Negro freedom. The conduct of the slaves during the war while left in charge of the master's family was without parallel in history; and this not only deserved freedom, but it called forth the sentiment of the Southern people favoring it.
Gen. R.E. Lee freed his slaves in 1863.
I believe that emancipation would have come in such a way as to avoid the dangers of race conflict, of social equality, and of giving the Negro a political franchise to which he was not fitted. The South would have given him his liberty and every right necessary to the development of his manhood, and it would have secured him the hearty interest and help of the white man. No doubt political rights would have been granted gradually as the Negroes became prepared for their exercise.
A Restored Union – There would have been ultimately a restoration of the Union on terms that would leave no ground of misunderstanding as to the several spheres of Federal and State sovereignty. The rights of the States would have been thoroughly and clearly guarded. The rights of the central government would have been definitely marked and limited. This would have been the old Union as originally intended by the fathers. The Constitution could not have been set aside by the interpretation of a majority of a Supreme Court appointed by a partisan executive.
The Taxing Power Guarded. – The Constitution of the new Union would have so guarded the taxing powers of the central government that it would not have been possible for it by tariffs to build up one section of the country at the expense of the others, nor to build up great trusts to levy tribute on the whole country for the benefit of the few.
The Confederate Constitution was simply a revision of the old, or rather the clear statement of the real meaning of the old."

Opinions on State Rights
It is written that what the French took from American Revolution was their theory of revolution, not their theory of government. When French officers were leaving for home, they were cautioned by Samuel Cooper of Boston to "not let your hopes be inflamed by our triumph on this virgin soil. You will carry our sentiments with you, but if you try to plant them in a country that has been corrupt for centuries, you will encounter obstacles more formidable than ours. Our liberty has been won with blood; you will have to shed it in torrents before liberty can take root in the old world."
"The true natural check on absolute democracy is the federal system, which limits the central government by the powers reserved [to the States], and the State governments by the powers they have ceded. It is the one immortal tribute of America to political science, for State rights are at the same time the consummation and the guard of democracy.
So much so an American officer wrote, a few months before [First Manassas]:
"The people in the South are evidently unanimous in the opinion that slavery in endangered by the current of events, and it is useless to attempt to alter that opinion. As our government is founded on the will of the people, when that will is fixed our government is powerless."
Those are the words of Sherman, the man who, by his march through Georgia, cut the Confederacy in two. Lincoln himself wrote, at the same time:
"I declare that the maintenance inviolate of the rights of States, and the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of powers on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depend."
Such was the force with which State rights held the minds of abolitionists on the eve of the war that bore them down."

Arch-Rebel George Washington
On August 23, 1775, George III proclaimed the American colonists of New England to be traitors and in rebellion. To suppress the American revolt, George III prepared for total war and sent an army of Scots Highlanders and Royal Guards; his effort to buy troops from Catherine of Russia had fallen through, though he acquired 7,000 German mercenaries from Brunswick and Hesse-Cassel.
One cannot fail to see the similarities with 1861 as a new American nation declared its independence and raised an army for defense. An American president then assembled an army which included paid German troops to suppress a "rebellion," and the rebel leader is denounced as an "arch-rebel."
George III offered amnesty and pardon if the colonists again recognized him as their Sovereign; Lincoln offered the South amnesty if it recognized him as their Sovereign. The "hideous dens of malnutrition and disease" described below were replicated in many Northern prisons and the cruel fate of the "Immortal 600" Southern officers held at Morris Island in 1864. One may also compare the tactics and methods of rebel-general Washington with rebel-general Stonewall Jackson in the Valley.
"Washington's plight [at New York in July 1776] was made more desperate by a piece of awesome news. America and the mother country had come to the parting of the ways. An express from Philadelphia brought the report that independence had been declared by [the Continental] Congress on 2 July.
Was he the first general of an emerging nation, or, as British propaganda had it, "the arch-rebel Washington," outlaw leader of a guerilla band. [Howe's] troops crossed the Hudson, scaled the Palisades, and took Fort Lee in twenty minutes, with yet another cache of arms and soldiers, the former to bombard the rebels, the latter to languish miserably in prison ships, floating sewers anchored off New York Harbor, hideous dens of malnutrition and disease.
[In early January 1777 near Princeton, British troops] opened a cannonade on the outnumbered Americans, trapped them in an orchard between a ravine and their cannon, leveled them with fresh blasts of artillery, and waded in with bayonets. Trapped and frightened, the [Americans] began to fall back to the rear . . . [and at] that moment Washington appeared.
Glancing once at the bloodied terrain, [Washington] plunged through the melee to within thirty yards of the advancing British and disappeared in a burst of fire and a gigantic cloud of smoke. It blew off a minute later, revealing George, possessed as ever, sitting calmly on his big white horse.
"Advance!" and the army plunged after him into the British center, driving them through the fields into the red brick buildings of the Princeton campus, where they holed up in schoolrooms, firing from class and chapel windows until blasted out by barrages of artillery or chased out at the point of bayonets. Perpetrators of the earlier orchard massacre received a dreadful vengeance; convinced the foe had used their bayonets with excessive severity, Americans closed in on the survivors and slaughtered nearly sixty on the spot.
[Cornwallis's aide] Charles Stedman, objective even in catastrophe, traced the coup to Washington's use of surprise and timing to unbalance a much larger army and his disposal of small forces for the maximum effect."

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS is a disorder that affects between 3-5% of women and is one of the most common hormonal disorders among women of reproductive age. It is also the leading cause of infertility. The main symptoms are obesity, acne, insulin resistance, diabetes and irregular menstruation. Other symptoms are hair loss, increased body hair and depression. It is said that one in two women with PCOS are obese which enhances a number of the related symptoms.
PCOS is linked with being overweight or obese and successful weight loss is the most effective method to restore normal menstruation. Although this is the best way to improve the symptoms, women find it very hard to sustain or even achieve significant weight loss. Some experts recommend a low Glycemic Index Diet which involves the eating of fruit, vegetables and whole grain products to make up most of the carbohydrates the body needs.
The word is that the Strip That Fat diet is an excellent diet that sustains weight loss, but the PCOS Diet Book is specifically written for this condition. The PCOS Diet Book is not specifically designed for weight loss but more to maintain blood sugar levels. The book is based around a low Glycemic index diet which was developed by David J Jenkins who is a professor of nutrition at the University of Toronto.
The PCOS Diet Book also includes other information such as advice on supplements, natural medicines for specific PCOS symptoms and super-foods. There is also a part of the book for women that have PCOS and other related health problems such as type II diabetes, digestive disorders and thyroid problems.
The PCOS diet book should not be taken as a weight loss program, but as a guide to eating healthily. If you want to lose weight which would help with the affects of PCOS then it is recommended that you try the Strip That Fat program which leads the way in sustaining weight loss. A lot of myths are exposed by the developers of this book and it is explained in detail how some diets do not work and are plain bad for you, such as eating low carbohydrates or Atkins style diets, low fat diets, starvation diets, Hollywood diets and pre-packaged diet programs. Experts believe that 80% of dieting is the food you eat and 20% is exercise and most people already do enough exercise. This equates to people eating the wrong foods or eating in the wrong way, which means that anyone overweight is doing one or both of these.
By combining the knowledge from both the PCOS diet book and the Strip That Fat diet book you should have the formula needed to tackle the symptoms of PCOS and live a more normal life.

Former UFC competitor, current WWE star Matt Riddle, is battling more than opponents inside the squared-circle.
Experiencing issues with failed drug tests as of late and substance abuse, Riddle was recently written off WWE programming and is currently involved in an injury storyline – in attempts to explain his absence to viewers.
Riddle was involved in a "serious injury," taking place during the December 5th edition of WWE RAW.
Also check out: WWE Releases Mandy Rose – The Scope Network
As originally reported by Cassidy Haynes of BodySlam.net, sources informed Haynes, that Riddle was suspended for a drug test failure during the summer and that's why his match against Seth Rollins was postponed until Clash at the Castle.
"I was able to confirm that the reason that WWE wrote Riddle of TV is because he has failed another drug test and will be sent to rehab. The belief going around is that he has already entered treatment, or will be going in soon as most programs run for 30 days and he would need to be finished in time for his return in six weeks."
To pile on the troubles and struggles of drug rehab, there have been allegations of sexual abuse from several former girlfriends and partners of Riddle.
One of Riddle's ex-girlfriends Daniella Petrow released a series of videos and long statements regarding Riddle's abuse.
"You know, it's Tuesday. I think it's like December 20th. I am doing this video because, one, I want the women to hear it out of my own mouth. I am sorry for attacking you on Twitter. I am sorry for lashing out because you guys didn't want to listen to me. I am sorry that this could have been prevented if he would have just been stopped. Probably back in, like, the Candy Cartwright days when she sued him for sexual abuse. You would think someone would learn not to hurt women or abuse women. I'm talking about Matt Riddle. Talking about you, bro. You. I told you, you may have hurt me, but I'm not going to stop until you're stopped. And right now, I think the newest victim is Misha Montana, which she's in that like, 'Imma stand by my man' phase solely. I respect girl. I respect it. But you'll find out, and it's sad, you're going to find out the hard way. Jordan Maxx found out the hard way. Ivy Malibu found out the hard way. I found out the hard way. We all do. We really do.
Finding out the hard way that you have been conned into loving a man who uses your love to then take advantage of you, to then manipulate you, to sexually abuse you, to torment you. And he has a pedestal of fame, and he has has the support of people who idolize him. But why would you idolize the devil? Why will anyone listen to me? I didn't sue him. I didn't go for money. And no disrespect to Candy Cartwright for doing it but I literally was just trying to stop him. And you all said I was doing this for clout. This man abused me sexually, and you didn't want to listen. And now you have videos that, like, Ivy Malibu is putting out, and she's still in that I want to protect him phase because she's not saying his name, but she's talking about Matthew Riddle, and y'all still don't want to believe it. Even Jordan's in that protecting phase because she's still under the impression that she was only mentally and emotionally abused, and you guys are using her work against her.
I'm gonna say it, and I'm gonna say it very arrogantly. I told y'all. I told you all about him. I told WWE. And what are they doing? Sending him to rehab? Rehab's not gonna fucking help him. He still has this fucking job. He's still gonna fucking do what he's doing. That man has so many fucked up mental fucking issues and he takes it out on us. Fucking innocent women. Have you all noticed we all look alike? Blonde hair, long, high cheekbones, big lips, pronounced jawline. That's a predator. And he has a type. He preys on us. Now, granted, there have been other casualties, too, along his traveling ways. There was a girl in Canada. There's been a lot of others, which I'm not going to speak about because that's not my place. But come on, people, wake the fuck up. WWE, you need to fire his ass. And 30 days in rehab is not enough time to fix what's fucking wrong with this man. Charges might, but it's not here nor there. How do you prove sexual abuse?
The one thing Matt Riddle has never, ever, ever, ever, ever done is been held accountable, ever. Oh, I'm doing drugs cuz of my divorce. Okay. So. You're doing drugs while you were cheating on your wife with your mistress, who you then forced to do things to. What about with me? You said I made you the happiest going through your divorce, but you still abused me. So when's the accountability going to happen? When is people going to wake up and start realizing what I've been telling you, what these women are telling you? Instead of attacking us, how about you start seeing the fucking pattern? Oh my God. All these different women, we have no affiliation with each other. Well, maybe two of them because of the porn industry. I was never a wrestler. I don't know who fucking Ivy Malibu is. We all live in different fucking states, which is even crazier. But the one thing we have in common, the one thing is Matthew Riddle. The one thing. But yet he calls us crazy. He says we're liars. But we all have basically the similar same fucking story just played out in different narratives. Think about it. People wake up."

Another ex-girlfriend/associate of Riddle, offered her commentary regarding the wrestling star as well.
Does it make you feel better about yourself to kick people when they're down?
Try to imagine for one second, the man you've spent the last 6 months with, who said "I love you" for the first time 2 months ago, is all of a sudden making out with someone else WHO IS IN YOUR (1/2) https://t.co/sd2RGAbH2s
— Jordan Maxx // Las Vegas 1/2-1/9 (@TheJordanMaxx) December 19, 2022
Adding this here since it seems many of you are overlooking it:
I'm not mad that he's in rehab. He told me that he quit drugs, and then to find out he's a) with another girl b) doing those drugs with her and c) failing drug tests so he has to go to rehab for it is disappointing
Wait.. you would rather have him be with you at Christmas than to let him get the help he needs? He dodged a bullet with you, that's for sure.

Riddle for his part, while not addressing all of the allegations directly, provided an update presumably aimed towards fans, briefly discussing his road to recovery and his appreciation of the support.
I've been working a lot on myself lately and have been saying no and setting boundaries for the first time ever and certain people aren't happy about it, but I couldn't be healthier or happier.
Thank you for all the support 🤙 pic.twitter.com/2DC2zBskup

Steelcase Introduces Diversal: Free-Flow Flexibility for the Modern Workplace
Diversal by Steelcase India
As Asia-Pacific moves away from being perceived as a place known predominantly for production, manufacturing and tech support, to a region increasingly leading global innovation, organizations must seek to maintain their competitive edge.
"In an extremely short space of time, we are seeing the transition from task-based work to innovative and generative work. Many workplaces have struggled to evolve and adapt to support the organizational cultural change," says Elise Valoe, Global Research Manager at Steelcase Inc.
Diversal, the latest workplace solution from Steelcase, seeks to cultivate diversity and address the need for flexibility, both in how companies operate and how people work and collaborate.
Diversal's dynamic components are designed to be easily reconfigured to accommodate a diverse range of needs, supporting both short- and long-term layout planning. From blade-shaped work surfaces that efficiently provide additional work space, to podiums that allow for break-out collaborations and a change of posture, the Diversal system offers a range of features that can be interchanged and combined to create the right environment.
Joe Ho, Senior Industrial Designer at Steelcase Asia Pacific, comments, "With teams working in dramatically different ways, we sought to design a system to support a new set of behaviors— rapid learning, swift decision making, and increased collaboration— that are integral to innovation."
To enable the sharing of ideas out in the open, zig-zag configurations encourage spontaneous collaborations, while interactive shelves can be added between colleagues to support paired collaboration. Movement enhances wellbeing in the workplace, so height-adjustable work surfaces and freestanding elements allow teams to vary their postures throughout the day.
To deliver a truly customizable solution, Diversal finds the perfect balance between personal focus and collaborative mobility. For specialist residents, including programmers, designers or financial analysts who require personal focus, customizable privacy options such as screens and dividers are available in varying heights. Convenient access points for data and power, plus the ability to include fixed dual monitors and worksurface partitions, amplify individual performance and provide an oasis of concentration.
When it comes to aesthetics, no detail has been overlooked. Through a simple kit of parts and rich materiality, Diversal empowers organizations to customize their spaces in ways that will facilitate and inspire creativity and innovation. Discreet, sleek and lightweight frame designs help to maximize space, while a host of fabric colors and metal finishes allow Diversal to seamlessly fit the feel of your organization or team.

Widow demands to be heard after war veteran husband's tragic descent to suicide
Video report by ITV News Correspondent Paul Davies
"I tried to get him help, I was trying to save his life and people didn't work with me."
For years Jo Jukes lived with a war veteran husband suffering from worsening post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute depression - while desperately seeking help for him.
Now she is a widow after Lance Corporal Dave Jukes took his own life in October behind the family's home in Birmingham.
He had been sleeping rough in an alleyway after his volatile behaviour meant his wife had to make the agonising decision of taking out a court order banning him from entering their home.

It was a shocking end to the life of a former infantryman, 49, who had served in almost every major campaign British forces have been involved in over the last 25 years.
"He survived Northern Ireland, Bosnia, two Iraqs, Afghanistan, but his service killed him in the end," Mrs Jukes told ITV News.
She had witnessed him spiral away from the "funny, very committed" man who had proposed to her by hiding a ring in the paws of a teddy bear.
"All he wanted was to be part of a family," she remembered of the man she married.

The forgotten fallen? Life after the frontline

Mr Jukes had already had mental health problems by the time the couple met in 2008.
The strain briefly put an end to the relationship as he suffered a breakdown and was sectioned before being formally diagnosed with PTSD.
That was followed by therapy that Mrs Jukes said took him "back to a normal kind of person, a lot more relaxed".
But his return to active duty as a married man quickly "brought everything back".
It was in Afghanistan in late 2011 that the Army careerist called home and, for the first time, told his wife: "I can't do this."

The impact of leaving the Army and the mental scars he had collected from a life of service quickly took a toll greater than the antidepressants prescribed by a GP could combat, Mrs Jukes said.
"In his mind he was still the same bloke, but to the outside world he wasn't," she added.
"That's when it first started, and it gradually over the years got worse and worse."
He would have flashbacks and nightmares.
He would sweat through the night, or get up and say: "I can't handle this."
Survivor's guilt from "something that happened" in Iraq would see him frequently ask his wife: "Why am I alive and they're not?"

Mr Dukes had gone public with his struggles, describing the dreadful impact of PTSD in a video to raise awareness in 2016.
"Having bad thoughts every day, suicidal thoughts, is not a nice thing to live with," he said as he performed press-ups in front of the camera.
Living with those thoughts made him increasingly dangerous for those who lived with him.
Towards the end of his life, now jobless and in the grips of PTSD, his loved ones had to leave the property after he barricaded himself into the family's attic and refused all offers of help.
"It ended up where he smashed up the house, which wasn't Dave.
"Dave wouldn't do that," Mrs Jukes said.

She added that the family had been repeatedly let down.
She continued trying to get help for him, from the GP, the local health authority, the Ministry of Defence and veterans' charities.
She says the couple would "just get passed from pillar to post" and that some officials even doubted the authenticity of her husband's descriptions of his problems.
"I think that because he had complex PTSD I think they didn't understand his symptoms or what he was talking about, and because of that they didn't believe what he was saying," she said.
"In his mind nobody understood him and what he was going through."
She said officials had not built up a relationship with him.
"There was nobody that had his trust. They kept making him retell his story."

Towards the end of his life, Mrs Jukes had warned about the stark danger he posed to his family and himself.
"Three weeks before he died I said to my GP: 'He's going to kill me or he's going to kill himself, and then you'll all say 'Oh dear, we should have done something' but it will be too late.' And it is too late."
The violent episodes at home saw Mrs Jukes advised to obtain a court order to prevent her husband entering their home.
"Because one of my daughters has autism and mental health issues herself, social services were alerted for safeguarding reasons," she said.
"And we ended up where unfortunately I had to ask him to leave the house because I had to put my daughter first."

On October 9, after returning from court with an official to serve him papers, Mr Jukes was found dead in the alleyway behind the family home.
"I blame myself, because I was the one person he had and he would have thought I gave up on him. But I didn't give up on him," Mrs Jukes said.
Newspaper investigations suggest that 52 veterans have died by suicide in 2018.
A day after his death the Government's first minister for suicide prevention was coincidentally appointed in England to tackle a problem which sees 4,500 people take their lives every year.
An emailed letter has already been sent on Mrs Jukes' behalf to the minister, Jackie Doyle-Price, as the family prepare for the funeral on November 5.
"I'm telling her that veterans need a single point of access. They need joined-up thinking," Mrs Jukes said.
She wants the health service to give greater involvement to families and learn from PTSD charities.

A spokesperson for the Government said: "Suicide has a tragic effect on families and communities and we are determined to reduce suicide rates further – that's why we recently announced our first ever dedicated suicide prevention minister.
"We are proud of our Armed Forces and for those who have been injured either physically or mentally, it is our duty to ensure they continue to receive the best possible care as veterans.
"Last year, the MOD launched the Veterans' Gateway – a 24-hour helpline that acts as a single point of contact for former service personnel and their families to access advice on health care to finances and housing.
"Since 2010 we have provided an additional £22.5m to the NHS in England to meet the mental and physical health needs of the armed forces and veterans, with a further £9m since 2017 to set up new Transition, Intervention and Liaison Mental Health Services providing community based support for those personnel approaching discharge."
Above all, Mrs Jukes wants to be heard - in order to keep others alive.
"I want us to be able to stop anybody else ever having to live what we've had to live," she said.
"My life has changed forever because people wouldn't step in and they wouldn't listen."

Post-traumatic stress disorder is an anxiety disorder caused by very stressful, frightening or distressing events.
Someone with PTSD often relives the traumatic event through nightmares and flashbacks, and may experience feelings of isolation, irritability and guilt.
They may also have problems sleeping, such as insomnia, and find concentrating difficult.
PTSD can develop immediately after someone experiences a disturbing event or it can occur weeks, months or even years later.
PTSD is estimated to affect about one in every three people who have a traumatic experience, but it's not clear exactly why some people develop the condition and others don't.

The commercial boiler market is set to be hit by the global economic downturn from next year - although the impact will not be as bad as in other sectors.
Andrew Giles, Head of Worldwide Market Intelligence at BSRIA, told a conference organised by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers the sector will be slightly cushioned from the full impact of the credit crunch as it is not overly reliant on new build.
The blow of declining commercial and industrial new build will be softened by the fact more than three quarters of the commercial boiler market is in the more stable repair, maintenance and improvement (RMI) sector.
Mr Giles pointed out that commercial sales had been "pretty good" this year and BSRIA estimates the commercial boiler market will be up by three per cent in 2008, but sales will then fall sharply next year.
BSRIA estimates the domestic boiler market will fall by five per cent this year and forecasts a further nine per cent drop next year with a slight recovery to minus two per cent growth in 2010.
He emphasised the domestic boiler market was difficult to predict due to the nature of housing demand and consumer confidence, but he said the domestic sector usually responded more quickly to changes in market conditions than commercial.
Despite his efforts to put the downturn into context Mr Giles did admit that feedback from the industry was pretty bleak.
A survey of 100 m&e consultants carried out by BSRIA in November showed expectations for the next three to six months were in long term decline particularly in the offices and industrial sector.
Energy prices - The cost of gas and electricity has been the subject of fierce debate and has a major impact on the choice of technology. Mr Giles said: "They have now come down so they are less of an issue now, but they always have an opportunity to spike up again and the uncertainty around oil prices has created a decline in that market.
Shrinking opportunities in export markets - Payment problems are undermining confidence in Eastern Europe and Russia although opportunities remain in Iran, North Africa and some rapidly growing former Soviet states.
Heat pumps could be a 'a significant market at the smaller end' - Mr Giles said: "We see more and more heat pumps coming in to the market and more and more Japanese companies will be pushing these.


1. Don't let the circumstances of your life dictate how you feel. A good mood doesn't have to depend on external conditions. Peace of mind comes the moment you choose to be peaceful with any situation.
2. Remain cal in every situation because peace equals power.
3. Your friends should motivate and inspire you. your circle should be well rounded and supportive keep it tight. Quality over quantity, always.
6. We rise by lifting others.
7. God's plan is always the best. Sometimes the process is painful and hard. but don't forget that when god is silent, He's doing something for you.
8. Life is full of disappointments, failures and setbacks. None of those things can permanently stop you. You have the power in you to overcome anything that life throws at you. There is nothing as powerful as a made up mind. Surround yourself with people who remind you that you matter, and support you in the ways that matter most to you.

Sabine Weiss's World
Parisian gallery explore nuanced narrative of seminal Swiss photographer Sabine Weiss's affective work...
James Davidson • 6 June, 2016
It's a decade between Sabine Weiss buying her first camera and moving to Paris to become assistant to reputed German fashion photographer Willy Maywald yet, unbelievably, the Swiss was still just 22. It is 1952 when photojournalism pioneer Robert Doisneau discovers her work, and the same year when the rising star signs a nine year-contract with Vogue. The rest, is history.
Courses à Auteuil, Paris, 1952
Over 60 years have passed, but Weiss's work has lost none of its potency; her practice continuing to evolve and engage since. The subject of countless exhibitions and retrospectives, it's the time of Parisian gallery Les Douches la Galerie to honour the photographer's work — focussing on some lesser known areas of her work, the gallery fully aware of the presumptuousness of claiming to portray an exhaustive overview of her long career.
'Her photos are the beginning of a story.' says scriptwriter Olivier Beer of Weiss's photography. 'Or the middle. Or the end. And they are often a whole film. You enter one of her photographs as you would enter a cinema.' It's hard to argue. The beauty of Sabine's work is its nuanced capturing of a fleeting moment in time; it's ability to weave infinite narrative into one, single image. You can gaze, longingly, into each snapshot — their stories unfolding, your imagination the only limitation.
Sabine Weiss's World continues at Les Douches la Galerie, Paris, until 30 July.

Tooth colored fillings are designed to be indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth, so your cavities will never steal the spotlight from your smile again. White fillings, or composite resins, blend in seamlessly with your smile with the added benefit of being bonded to the tooth and helping to prevent it from further damage.
The fillings are usually done in one appointment after your dentist numbs and cleans the tooth. The composite filling will then be shaped, placed and expertly polished to match the rest of your teeth.


First place came with bragging rights and a $10,000 prize.
Tom Ferguson, owner of Chicago BBQ Company, said he knew the last trophy sitting on the stage had to be his.
"I looked at the last trophy on the stage and said, 'That's my trophy.,'" Ferguson said. "And then, he read the numbers off."
The company from Burr Ridge, Ill. took home first prize at the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off on Monday. First place comes with bragging rights, a trophy and a $10,000 prize.
Ferguson has been competing in the rib cook-off for 29 years. This is his second first place in the competition.

Local Theatre Company Features Memphis Artists
Vivian Haynes/MicroMemphis reporter
When the lights go out, the curtain goes up — and the party begins.
Actually, there are five different parties, and they're all under one roof. Curtain Up, presented by Playhouse on the Square, "will offer something for everyone this year," said Courtney Oliver, director of special events at Playhouse and the events director for Curtain Up. The event, set for Nov. 11, features everything from wine, champagne and cheese to sliders, foosball and beer; but it's really the entertainment that keeps people coming back to the annual event spotlighting local Memphis artists.
Each of this year's five parties will feature a distinct atmosphere with different food, drinks and music. The beginning of the event will be cued by the accordion sounds of solo band Fille Catatonique in the main lobby, which will also house a grand cheese display accompanied by wine and champagne.
The Playhouse cafe will host a beer tasting paired with the folky, blue-grass tunes of Nay Nay and the Do Right Boys. Avid bar-gamers can get in on some foosball or darts action, as well.
The upstairs ballet rehearsal area will be home to the "Zydeco Martini Lounge" that will feature the band Tout Le Mon — a French phrase meaning 'everyone.' Tout Le Mon, as described by the band's singer, Marcella Simien in an interview with Playhouse, is "swamp romp...raw creole, country, rock, soul, blues, and whatever gets you moving in your shoes."
"This will basically be the room where you can just go and chill," Oliver said.
Meanwhile, under the stage, "the trap room...will be treated like an underground speakeasy, a 1920's gentleman's club," said the director of events. "This is the first time ever that this room will be open."
This room will be a more exclusive party. "Throughout the course of the evening, we will give people passwords to get access to this room. There will be bouncers there as will," the director said.
The trap room will host table games including blackjack, roulette and poker, and era-specific libations like gin and tonic. The entertainment for this party will be provided by the band Black Max.
"I call them vaudeville punk though it's hard to describe them. They are a really a cool band, just totally different, unique, and mysterious sounding," Oliver said.
As the night winds down, headlining on stage at the Playhouse will be a dance party for all featuring The Magic Kids, an indie pop band currently signed onto the Goner Records label.
Oliver described the band as one with "a happy sound." In fact, The Magic Kids have been described by music writers as "contemporary Beach Boys."
To accompany the "bubblegummy dance party," there will be vodka jello shots or, for those choose not to drink, RedBull.
The night will commence with the Golden Coat Hanger Awards.
"Awards will be given out for things like best dressed, best shoes and judges' choice award. This is just for fun so people can have something to look forward to at the end of the night," Oliver explained.
In previous years, Curtain Up has been a progression from one party or room to the next. This year's event marks the first time that all the rooms will be opened at the same time so that people can "choose the environment they want to be in, whether that's beer and country blue grass or martinis and french music or even happy jello shots," Oliver said.
So, which event will you attend?
"In this city, with our economy, it takes a lot of persuasion to get people to attend an event," the director of events said. "Sometimes you have to make these events ADD for adults...and hopefully that will be what inspires them to come back year after year. This is going to be a great night with something to do for everyone and for anyone who loves theatre and art, especially in Midtown, this is a great way to support the theatre."
All proceeds from Curtain Up go towards Playhouse on the Square's annual operating budget. Tickets are $75 for singles and $60 for a group of 10 or more. The party will begin at 7 p.m.
