Ain’t life just ducky, you mammy jammers? Another week of life goes by for 28,000 unborn babies and tens of thousands more from starvation, ‘war’ and other depravations perpetrated by uncaring governments. And here we go again….
POINT BLANK debuted this week on The Federal Observer to rave reviews and commentary by the viewing audience. It just goes to show you, that with provocative titles and titillating front page commentary – even so-called Christians, Patriots and conservative readers are tempted by National Enquirer tactics. Sex still sells! Continue reading
As of Friday, the national debt had surpassed $38.7 trillion, according to the Treasury Department – or more than $113,000 per American. It has grown at a pace of nearly $77,000 per second over the past year, according to a tracker maintained by Republicans on Congress’s Joint Economic Committee.
The national average price for a gallon of gasoline has soared to $3.251, up from $2.997 on Monday. Look a little further back, and the jump is even more noticeable. Prices have risen 26.8 cents over the past week.
Stocks tumbled Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average shedding almost 800 points as oil prices jumped amid the war with Iran. Higher energy prices are sparking concerns on Wall Street that they could reignite U.S. inflation.
The Iran war upended markets this week, and economist Paul Krugman thinks the effects could ultimately be much more far-reaching.
A landmark Supreme Court ruling against President Trump’s tariffs has cost the federal government an estimated $1.7 trillion in projected revenue through 2036, according to a new analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), setting the United States on a course toward a national debt of $58 trillion within the next decade if the country continues its current rate of spending.
That’s a higher percentage than people who think America’s biggest problem is the economy. Or immigration. Or inflation.
The military-industrial complex and the American police state have joined forces.
The Founding Fathers feared judicial tyranny. They had watched British judges operate as little more than a rubber stamp for the Crown and Parliament, enforcing political will rather than the law. That experience shaped the debates at the Constitutional Convention, where some delegates even argued against creating a federal judiciary at all. A federal court system ultimately prevailed only because disputes between states, maritime cases, and controversies involving the federal government required it.
We are all exhausted by modern politics. But a 3,000-year-old story in Judges 9 perfectly explains why the worst people often end up in power.
Gen Z students are struggling to read and comprehend a sentence, one Pepperdine University professor recently said.
We are entering a new period where we will find ourselves facing an incredibly dangerous asymmetrical warfare mission conducted by Islamic terrorists of all stripes, aligned with homegrown domestic terrorists, and our response must be a hard, determined resolve to stop it dead in its tracks before it takes off and takes more innocent American lives. The law enforcement agents cannot be everywhere at once and often are not present in the first moments of a terrorist attack, and so, that leaves it to the good, decent, solid, and courageous Americans to fill the void by way of their own armed interventions in order to thwart evil wherever it rears its ugly head.
Bo Gritz, also known as James Gordon Gritz, has died at the age of 87, according to his wife. The Green Beret and Vietnam War veteran was a major inspiration for Sylvester Stallone’s character of John Rambo in the 1992 movie First Blood.
For too long, the Supreme Leader proclaimed in no uncertain terms that Israel should be wiped off the map. He sent money to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis to murder Israeli citizens while he worked on the development of a nuclear weapon. He spent money on war that could have been spent helping Iranians. Under the incompetent theocracy, Iran ran out of water and their currency is worthless. Iran could be one of the richest nations in the world – after all, they are rich in oil and resources. But no, the clerics in Iran wanted war instead.
In his first live address since striking the Iranian regime, President Donald Trump said the campaign dubbed “Operation Epic Fury” could last four to five weeks but is “substantially ahead” of schedule. Its aim, Trump added, is to cripple Iran’s missiles, navy, nuclear program, and terror proxies.
He Called It a “Chilling” Power He Holds. He Said He Won’t Use It. Then He Signed New Tariffs the Same Night.
The failure of Putin and Xi to stand up for their countries in the face of Washington’s aggression has convinced Trump that he can act with impunity anywhere in the world. Remember, Trump said words to the effect that he can do whatever he wants. Trumps words reminded me of Lenin when he declared that “the scientific concept of dictatorship means neither more nor less than unlimited power, resting directly on force, not limited by anything, not restricted by any laws, nor any absolute rules. Nothing else but that.”
I don’t think that most people in the western world fully grasp the importance of what has just transpired. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was not just the supreme leader of Iran. He was a direct descendant of the Muhammad, and that gave him the right to wear the black turban. For Shiite Muslims, the direct descendants of Muhammad are considered to be the only legitimate spiritual and political successors to Muhammad. They are believed to possess divine knowledge and authority, and killing such an individual is considered to be unthinkable. There are statues and photographs of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei literally everywhere you go in Iran, and now that he is dead there are 200 million Shiite Muslims all over the world that are extremely angry.
There is no way I can possibly count all the ways our property is being stolen from us by our so-called government “of the people, by the people, for the people”. But we are losing our property rights at breakneck speed and soon we will be property if we don’t put a stop to this iniquitous thievery.
Not so very long ago, school districts and education leaders told us that technology in the classroom was essential to the success of our students. “An iPad on every desk” became the new “chicken in every pot” slogan, as experts tried to convince us that technology could be a panacea for the nation’s test scores.
Early voting in the state of Texas primary is underway ahead of next week’s March 3 Election Day. Texas Scorecard reports that there are 10 propositions on the Republican ballot.
