Donald Trump On A Roll All Week

Lots of self-promotion on display

 would apply their skills in corrupting our government and buying and suborning the media.

In another move that I have no doubt that both the Trump White House and the Israel Lobby will be watching closely, an Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno has introduced a bill to establish that citizens of the United States “must have sole and exclusive allegiance to the US.” He said “Being an American citizen is an honor and a privilege — and if you want to be an American, it’s all or nothing. It’s time to end dual citizenship for good.”

The “Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025” means that no one may be a citizen or national of the US while simultaneously having any foreign citizenship. And a US citizen who voluntarily acquires foreign citizenship would have to relinquish their US citizenship after the date of enactment. And those who have dual citizenship would have to submit a written renunciation of the foreign citizenship to the secretary of State or a written renunciation of US citizenship to the secretary of Homeland Security no later than one year after the enactment of the act. An individual who doesn’t comply will be deemed to have voluntarily relinquished United States citizenship for purposes of section 349(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Any individual deemed to have relinquished citizenship is “appropriately recorded in Federal systems and treated as an alien for purposes of the immigration laws.”

The initiative is interesting and the policy is similar to that which is in place in many foreign countries. Here in America, the Israel Lobby and some particular members of Congress and on the White House staff will be working hard to stop it! It was, in fact predictably an Israeli, whose Supreme Court case Afroyim v. Rusk (1967), led to the current determination that a US citizen cannot automatically lose his or her citizenship unless he or she willingly surrenders it. Though specific numbers cannot be confirmed, approximately 200,000 to 600,000 US citizens with Israeli citizenship currently live in Israel. In the US, the estimated number of Israeli-Americans is approximately 191,000.

It is difficult to discern how popular the bill to end dual citizenship might be, but one suspects that many Americans are getting very tired of hearing about the atrocities being committed on the West Bank by all those dual national “Israeli” settlers from Brooklyn! And then there is the all-powerful Israel Lobby, with all those dual national Jewish billionaires and Hollywood types asserting how they are victims of “antisemitism” and need special benefits and laws written to protect them. Trump’s top campaign donor is, for example, Israeli Miriam Adelson, who has contributed more than $100 million to the Republicans while also demanding policies beneficial to Israel, including promotion of the Gaza genocide. Trump has taken her money and complied with her every wish. Time to end all that!
