For over 3O years, the federal government has been working to take control of a huge area of Northwest America via the Columbia River Basin plan. So, after all this time the “powers that be” in Montana and the federal government ignored the U.S. Constitution and approved the plan to remove said Constitution from a huge area of Montana (Washington and Idaho are a good part of it, also).
One might think that reviewing all the information — the many testimonies, studies by experts, and even old documents – they would have realized that, besides being unconstitutional and just plain wrong for the Montanans who live here, that the Columbia River Basin plan is bogus – a scheme to remove local control and another tactic in both fulfilling the bogus Wildland Project and stealing the property rights of good landowners some of whom have inherited from grand and great grandparents. And cared for those lands to this day.
But, if the Constitution was used as a marker, it ain’t found in that great document… Continue reading →
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.” ~ Charles Dickens – opening paragraph fromA Tale of Two Cities (1859) ~ Link to the book [Link]
A Tale of Two Cities, First-Edition, Rare (Estimated value $8,800.00)
A ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ is set during the French Revolution and explores its impact on ordinary people’s lives in London and Paris. At its core, it is a story of love, revenge, and ultimate self-sacrifice during one of history’s bloodiest eras. Written by legendary English author Charles Dickens and published in 1859, it is widely celebrated as one of the most famous and best-selling novels of all time.
It’s really interesting to read the opening paragraph with America in mind, rather than England and France, and to consider the impact of the two-party system’s intense political and social polarization on America. I find little love or self-sacrifice in Merka, yet the parallels are striking, almost as though Dickens saw our future; his novel was fictional and almost prophetic. And, oh, by the way, there was a lot going on in America at that time.
The opening paragraph of the book highlights the stark contradictions and social inequality of the late 18th century. Dickens uses opposites to show that the period leading up to the French Revolution was marked by conflict, passion, and uncertainty. It conveys the extreme polarization of opposing forces, with no middle ground amid near-total chaos.

For generations, millions of Southern Poverty Law Center fundraising letters circulated around the country with pictures of Klansmen burning crosses on the envelope and begged donors for help in fighting the Klan. As it turns out those donors who contributed to the SPLC were paying for the crosses and the hoods as the Justice Department indictment of the organization reveals.
When the Justice Department first secured its case against the leftist organization, the SPLC contended that it had only been paying off informants as part of its effort to monitor hate groups, but the new superseding indictment now reveals that the money paid out had been used to fund rallies, open new chapters, create racist materials and even “purchase materials for cross burnings” and “purchase materials to make Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods”.
Incredibly, the SPLC reimbursed KKK members for “all expenses they incurred for cross-burning events to include the wood and fuel used.” Continue reading →
June 5, 2026 ~For decades the federal department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has been a major player in the implementation and enforcement of Sustainable Development Smart Growth policy that is changing local community development into little more than social engineering.
In 2009, Barack Obama formed the Partnership for Sustainable Communities which resulted in the merging of the power, overreach, and money of HUD, the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The purpose was to strengthen the power of the federal government to push federal planning initiatives on local communities. Specifically, Obama wanted to force individual communities to adopt the government’s “Livability Principles.”
If they refused, they would face loss of grant money from these agencies.Continue reading →
Technology was supposed to make life easier. Instead, it has made life faster, louder, more dependent, and, too often, more exhausting.
This may sound like another article about AI, but it is really about something older and larger. AI is simply the newest layer in a familiar story: each generation is promised that technology will simplify life, save time, and reduce friction. Lived experience often tells a different tale.
The title is deliberate. Convenience was the promise that accompanied modern technology: less effort, less delay, less friction. Yet what was presented as liberation has too often become the opposite – a system that consumes time, thins patience, and insinuates itself into nearly every corner of ordinary life.

Have you ever stopped mid-scroll and wondered how machines seem to understand you? From finishing your sentences to recommending exactly what you want to watch, it almost feels human – but there’s something deeper behind it all.
This new delve into the new monstrosity we know as Artificial Intelligence today is probably one of the most important matters a person can study and understand, if they hope to still be living free many years from today. It’s simply incredible the speed at which this administration is shoving America down the A.I. Road with so very little oversight and regardless of the fact that many millions of Americans reject it outright, or at the very least, they don’t want it in their backyard sucking up water, land and electric resources among many others.
The true test of any system does not come during abundance. It comes quietly. during the first season when there is not enough to go around.
America has already seen many rolling blackouts during periods of peak use of electricity in the summer and winter, and many areas of our country are already experiencing drought conditions for a variety of reasons, some of which is climate and a lot of it simply city expansions and water mismanagement, as witnessed all up and down the West Coast, in Arizona, Georgia and Nevada and elsewhere. Just imagine what happens when a new massive resource-sucking A.I. Processor Data Center is completed and starts functioning at peak capacity, as municipal boards, water authorities and grid managers increasingly spew phrases such as “load prioritization”, “non-interruptible industrial contracts”, and “contingency allocation protocols”.

For years, the Democrats have pushed relentlessly toward the left. As a result, we now see outright communists in positions of power in major cities throughout the country.
In LA, Mayor Karen Bass is a big fan of Fidel Castro and she is in the process of stealing the election from a far more sensible challenger – Spencer Pratt. In most countries around the world, election ballots are counted in a matter of hours. In California, it can take weeks – thanks to mail in ballot absentee ballots abuse. It’s imperative to rein in election abuse in the US, but in Congress the Democrats (and some anti-Trump Republicans) don’t want the ’Save Act,’ which will help end the abuse Democrats employ at the ballot box.

It was September 2006 – roughly two years before the 2008 financial crisis annihilated much of the global economy. But Greece was already in deep trouble.
Unemployment was hovering around 9%. Youth unemployment was a staggering 25%. And government finances were in the toilet, with official debt-to-GDP at 100% and annual budget deficits at nearly 8% of GDP.
The deficit issue was especially troubling; as part of the Eurozone, Greece was legally obliged to keep its annual budget deficit below 3% of GDP. But the government was simply incapable of doing so… Continue reading →
Or… more than you ever wanted to know about computer networks, though you were smart enough not to ask.
Sometimes life plants the seed of an idea that takes time to germinate. This one took a few years to take root. What began as a personal frustration with government paperwork led me to a broader question: why, in an age of nearly instantaneous information retrieval, must citizens still repeat the same information across multiple agencies and systems?

Not as a politician, not as a preacher, but as someone who paid attention. In this video, I’ve put together a collection of George Carlin clips where he talks about power, control, politics, war, language, and the illusion of choice. At the time, many people laughed and moved on. Today, what he said feels uncomfortable because it feels true.
We pray that The Wall Song will honor our surviving and fallen heroes of the Vietnam War as well as any who have served in the Armed Forces.
The Wall Song is a tribute born out of the kindred creative spirits of poet Judy Gorman King and songwriters Mitch Townley and Brad Dunse. Mitch heard Judy present her poem, The Spirit Of The Wall, at a Nashville benefit for homeless veterans in March, 2008. She gave him permission to use the poem as the inspirational foundation for the song. Mitch invited his good friend, singer/songwriter Brad Dunse to collaborate with him and the project was underway. The Wall Song was recorded in Nashville in July, 2008 by artist J.P. Williams and produced by Chip Martin.
“The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.” ~ Marcus Aurelius
The title should make it clear what’s on my mind today. As for my soul, that’s a topic for another day…
Let’s jump right into this content without delay. There’s a lot to cover, and I won’t waste time on pleasantries.

For the first time in modern history, a generation scores lower than the one that raised it. The reason sits on every school desk in America.
The $30 Billion Classroom Experiment That May Have Made Kids Worse at Learning. Image credit: Shutterstock
James Welsch teaches American politics at Gorham High School in Maine. His classroom runs almost entirely on screens. Students write blog posts, trade articles, and pull up videos mid-discussion. But a few years ago, Welsch noticed something wrong with the writing. Essays submitted digitally had grown choppy. Whole passages looked copied. The fluency he expected on the page was not there.
So he changed the routine. In some courses, Welsch now requires students to write first drafts by hand. Continue reading →
The order came in response to a lawsuit filed by a Democratic congresswoman.

A federal district judge on May 29 ordered that President Donald Trump’s name be removed from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and blocked officials from shuttering the venue for two years for renovations.
Washington-based Judge Christopher R. Cooper issued an order temporarily halting the closure and preventing the name change.
“Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it,” the judge said. Continue reading →
CBS News’s flagship program broadcast a call to protect the First Amendment at a time when the Trump administration has repeatedly threatened its integrity.
As part of “The Last Minute” feature on Sunday’s weekly broadcast, the two-time Academy Award-winning actor Sally Field shared a personal story about what freedom of speech guaranteed by the United States Constitution means to her.
“When I was in the seventh grade, I was asked to memorize something that I never forgot,” Field, 79, said. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peacefully to assemble.” Continue reading →
In a world overflowing with opinions, algorithms, and noise — why is clear thinking vanishing?
This video uncovers the uncomfortable truth behind the disappearance of critical thinking and the rise of what philosophers now call collective stupidity — a condition where we stop questioning, start conforming, and lose our capacity for truth without even realizing it. Continue reading →
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” – Thomas Jefferson
That Democrats and other Leftists hate America’s Founding Fathers and the country’s Judeo-Christian heritage is a fact I’m not going to waste time in the article attempting to prove. Everything the Left does is designed to uproot and destroy the principles our Founders tried to build the nation upon. One of those principles, a very vital one, is a correctly educated populace. We have been complaining for many years now, and rightly so, what the Left has done to America’s education system since getting control of it about a century ago. Our Founders warned us about it, but, of course, Americans in general have paid no attention to them on this as on most matters they taught us. Continue reading →
At a news conference discussion of Pope Leo’s Magnifica Humanitas encyclical, Leo was joined in discussing a subtopic concerning the “Threat of ‘Anti-Human Vision’” by Anthropic’s co-founder, Christopher Olah.
Izzat de Pope?
Pope Leo said, “The risk extends beyond the misuse of certain technologies.” He went on: “More gravely, the pervasive technocratic paradigm in which we are immersed, and that is amplified by the digital revolution and AI, threatens to normalize an anti-human vision.”
Olah wisely pontificated: “Some might believe that matters of AI are best handled by computer scientists like myself. They are mistaken. The questions raised by A.I. are bigger than the A.I. research community, not just in their implications, but also in their nature.” Continue reading →
“You want to defend the United States of America, then defend it with the tools it supplies you with – its Constitution. You ask for a mandate, General, from a ballot box. You don’t steal it after midnight, when the country has its back turned.” – Seven Days in May (1964)
Who is actually running the government?
That is no longer a rhetorical question.
As America’s war with Iran lurches from escalation to ceasefire to renewed threats of military force, Americans are being asked to trust that someone, somewhere, knows what they are doing.
But who?
The president who boasts one moment of imminent peace and threatens the next to “finish the job”? The Pentagon officials who insist the war is going according to plan? The vice president who has reportedly questioned whether the Defense Department is giving the president the full picture? The intelligence agencies, defense contractors, war planners, foreign allies, billionaire donors, political handlers and unelected power brokers who operate behind the curtain?
This is the constitutional crisis hiding in plain sight.
The question is not merely whether Donald Trump is fit to lead. The question is whether any president still leads in any meaningful constitutional sense once the permanent war government gets moving.
That war government – the military industrial complex, the intelligence apparatus, the surveillance state, the federal police bureaucracy, the defense contractors, the private-sector profiteers and the unelected functionaries who keep the machinery running – does not need tanks in the streets to take over.
