Dickens: Where Do YOU Live?

July 2, 2024 – I’m not interested in your habitat or domicile, whether you own or rent or even free-load – I’m most interested in where your head is… what do you believe?

What you believe is where you live.

So… Where do you live?

How did you learn what you believe?

Where do you get the information that feeds those convictions?

Is the information you consume positive, negative, or hopefully factual – unbiased, not anecdotal, circumstantial or based on rumors, innuendos and lies.

Do you trust your sources to provide unvarnished – true and honest data – or is what you consume interpreted to fit a political narrative; most commonly – disinformation, malinformation, and misinformation.

Are you looking for affirmation and validation for your views, or do you want to learn more? Continue reading

Benson: The Antifederalists Were Right on Target

A couple days ago someone forwarded me an article from November 17, 2019 by Gary M. Galles about the Antifederalists who opposed the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Mr. Galles felt the Antifederalists were pretty much on target with their objections to the Constitution and over the years I’ve felt the same way. The Christian statesman Patrick Henry, who I have high regard for, was an Antifederalist.

Henry felt that the convention in Philadelphia in 1787 had exceeded its authority when it gave us a new constitution rather than amending the Articles of Confederation, which is what the delegates had been sent there to do. Continue reading

The Dems’ Titanic DISASTER

Joe Biden promised he would serve only one term, but here he is trying to serve a second one. This has caused a great disturbance in the Democrat dark force. After Joe’s disastrous debate performance, many top leaders in the party are calling for him to step down. That might prove to be a difficult task because Joe is a power-hungry, sociopathic narcissist.

Or it could simply be due to Jill Biden. She likes being First Lady and she might even be pulling some of Joe’s policy strings. (She might pulling up his diaper as well, who knows?) Continue reading

Their Panic Would Almost Be Gratifying ~ if It Weren’t So Ominous

Don’t be fooled – the following column gets it said – what ‘merka watched last night – was the biggest load of B.S. that we have ever seen. ~ Editor

“The President is very sharp,” former congressman and MSNBC host Joe Scarborough told audiences not long ago. “Some NATO leaders have told me they were very surprised… because he is so sharp and he’s on top of everything.”

MSNBC further trotted out various guests and hosts, including Mika Brzezinski, to gush about Joe Biden’s sharpness and mentally agility.

Members of the President’s party also claimed that, in private meetings, Joe Biden was absolutely at the top of his game. Continue reading

Blow it Out Cher (G)-Ass! Chapter III

Oklahoma Farmers Sound Alarm on Chinese-Owned Weed Farms Taking Over Their Town With Workers Armed With AK-47s Using Fake Amazon Trucks to Distribute Cannabis

Farmers in Oklahoma are warning residents about cannabis farms owned by China backed heavily armed workers using phony Amazon trucks.

Authorities in Oklahoma, Oregon, California, New Mexico and Maine have all been battling a surge in Chinese weed farms, with some thought to be linked to criminal gangs known as ‘triads’.

The spread is seemingly uncontainable, with police in Penobscot County, Maine, in February arresting three Chinese nationals at a weed farm and seizing 40 pounds of the drug alongside $4,700 in cash…. (Continue to full article)

Senate Acts to Ban Plastic Bags and Reduce Plastic Usage
The Massachusetts Senate passed legislation that builds on the state’s climate and environmental leadership by banning single-use plastic bags, making straws and plasticware available by request only, and making it easier to recycle. The legislation passed by a vote of 38-2.

“I’m very excited about the passage of the Act to Reduce Plastics. Reducing the amount of single-use plastic consumption is essential in ensuring waterways, streets, and communities in the First Middlesex District and statewide remain clean and safe,” said Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Lowell).

“In Massachusetts, we take pride in being a leader when it comes to protecting our environment and people’s health, and this bill continues that leadership,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “Limiting our plastics use means less trash in our waterways and on our streets, and giving our kids the green, clean planet they deserve to inherit.”

Now Wal-y-World can start charging us for Paper-bags… (Continue to full article)

Illegal Border Crossings at Northern Border Continue to Break Records
Illegal border crossings at the northern border continue to break records, according to the latest data released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

In May, 18,644 foreign nationals were apprehended illegally entering the U.S. at the northern border, the highest total for the month of May in recorded history.

The northern border has seen the highest number of illegal entries in U.S. history under the Biden administration.

In the first eight months of fiscal 2024, more than 99,000 were apprehended after illegally entering through the northern border, according to CBP data . If the current trajectory continues, the numbers are on track to surpass fiscal 2023 apprehensions of 147,666… (Continue to full article)

“Fixing” Public Schools? Forget It! You’ll Never Do It
The problem with the government schools is that they don’t have the Ten Commandments posted. Putting aside that many of the students won’t be reading at high enough a level to understand them, there’s no fixing taxpayer-funded progressive indoctrination centers. (To be fair, a lot of conservative parents like them too because they see them as a ‘free’ babysitting service where they can dump their kids from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.)

They are state owned and run and will only ever support the state’s plan of limitless expansion and micromanagement of its vassals’ lives. The only real solution to the pathologies of the government schools is to permanently close them and repeal the property taxes that fund them.

The answer is – no they can’t. In fact you can’t do anything to repair the public schools. They are irreparable for the simple reason that they are doing now exactly what they were intended to do from the beginning!!!(Continue to full article)

Almost Half of U.S. Electric Car Owners Regret Purchase
A consumer research group surveyed electric vehicle (EV) owners all around the world and found 46 percent of American EV owners regret their purchase and are “very likely” to switch back to the internal combustion engine (ICE).

Around the world, 29 percent of EV owners said they will go back to the ICE. The top concerns are the lack of a reliable charging infrastructure, the costs involved in owning an EV, and anxiety about long-distance trips.

Also not happening, as anyone can see, is the building of a charging infrastructure. There is not enough demand in the free market to build these charging stations through private enterprise, so two years ago the Biden administration allocated $7.5 billion to build a charging infrastructure.

To the surprise of no one, two years later, only eight charging stations have been built.

The idea was to have more people purchase and love their EVs, which would then increase demand and desire for EVs. That is obviously not happening…. (Continue to full article)

How Republican Ashley Hinson’s ‘Farm Bill‘ Provision Could Stop China’s Buy Out of U.S. Farmland

… as it’s revealed communist adversary has bought 347,000 acres

The upcoming House Farm Bill will contain measures to restrict foreign entities like China from scooping up American farmland in a big win for national security, a Republican who helped secure the provisions told DailyMail.com.

Foreign entities own a total of 40 million acres of U.S. farmland and China has bought up nearly 347,000 acres, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Now lawmakers are working to further restrict China and other adversaries from snatching up coveted land in the fiscal year 2024 ‘Farm Bill.’… (Continue to full article)

Dickens: Knowledge!

What we know is all based on lies, rumors, and media-fueled hysteria.

My lead-line is an intentional generalization. I want you to think about what it says, then consider why it seems hyperbolic – an exaggerated claim.

Of course, there are things we know to be true – it’s proven 2+2=4, right is the opposite of left, up is the opposite of down, gravity is how we define the attractive force that keeps us from disintegrating and floating away.

We accept that the √ of -1 is unsolvable and calculating Pi results in an infinitely repeating decimal.

Still, there are many things about which I remain skeptical… dubious… I know the answers personally, but I want you to consider your personal perspective. Is it what you truly believe, accept or conclude; or are your concepts and ideas programmed responses from the Corporate Media Complex (CMC) programming?

Why do you believe what you believe – where did that belief originate? Continue reading

We Are NOT All Americans

I get so tired of hearing all the do-gooders in the country trying to tell me and everyone else that “we’re all still Americans” and that we should “be civil” to those rat bastard communists who are never civil and are in the process of driving our republic into the ash heap of history.

I’m sick to death of trying to interact with the idiots of this current Marxist-Maoist movement who will hear absolutely nothing of reason, but instead shout and scream people down whenever they propose conservative common-sense ideas. I never had much patience with this sort of behavior to begin with and I sure as hell will not be tolerant of the intolerant now. Continue reading

Chip Roy: There Is ‘Repeated Evidence’ of Non-Citizens Voting

There is “repeated evidence” of non-citizens voting, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily, discussing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.

“Let me just say this about the overall state of the election issue,” Roy began, explaining that “we’ve got repeated evidence of those who are here illegally – or, or whether they’re here legally – but non-citizens voting.” Continue reading

Morgan Freeman Explains Why He ‘Detests’ Black History Month: ‘My History Is American History’

Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman has turned on Black History Month and declared he “detests it.”

The Hollywood star known for his roles in The Shawshank Redemption and The Dark Knight trilogy made plain his antipathy in an interview, critically appraising the annual event that takes place every February across the country.

Freeman told Variety in an exchange with journalist Marta Balaga the very idea makes his “teeth itch” and he prefers the broader sweep of the entire arc of American history: Continue reading

Jill Biden Fell Flat on Her Face in This Boneheaded Defense Of Joe

The Biden family is in shambles. They’re in the final death throes, and it’s painful to watch.

Dr. Jill Biden

Now Jill Biden fell flat on her face in this boneheaded defense of Joe

A bingo caller shouted “Union jobs” and “Taking on Big Pharma” for seniors to fill out with crayon cards that also included “Dr. Jill Biden” before the first lady herself arrived to address a crowd of about 250 people Saturday afternoon, attempting to assuage concerns as her husband, 81, faces increasing public scrutiny over his mental acuity.

She’s Baaack!

THAT ANSWER IS YES, HILLARY IS RUNNING AGAIN!

Hillary Clinton made a appearance at the Tony Awards, looking like a old car that just got a new paint job. Her hair was done in a more flattering style then the usual severe straight bangs. Hillary looked like she had lost weight and wore a dress that wasn’t her usual ‘shower curtain’ style. This immediately started tongues wagging about whether Hillary is being considered as a possible replacement for the Depends wearer in Chief, Joe Biden. Continue reading

Trapped in an Illegal Alien Invasion Time Loop

Illegal immigration has always been a problem in our country, even back during the Eisenhower and Reagan eras, but it’s never been as out-of-control and visible in such massive numbers as it has been over the past sixteen years, since the first year Barack Hussein Obama, anti-American Muslim commie, held the Oval Office in his hands and set forth on his mission to drop America low and see Her ultimately destroyed. Now, with his help, Biden and his treasonous cronies have just about completed his early mission aimed at fundamentally transforming America.

There is a very short window in which our patriots may be able to turn this around and eventually stop it dead in its tracks, but it is an extremely brief opening that we must not waste or allow to slip past us. Continue reading

Benson: We’ve Been Lied to About Education in America

If you believed all the snake oil salesmen that promoted the greatness of public education in America you’d think that before the advent of public schools Americans were the most ignorant and uneducated people anywhere. That’s the mindset the proponents of public education intend us to believe because it gives them “moral” justification from promoting a plethora of false impressions about the real nature of public education.

Back when he was still alive author and speaker Sam Blumenfeld wrote several books about the true nature and reason for public education. Needless to say what Sam found in his research over the years was not what you were taught about the need (or lack thereof) for public schools. I got to hear Sam speak twice while he was alive and you could tell from his remarks that he had done the homework. Continue reading

We CAN’T Let This Happen to Another Generation

The warning signs have been around for a long time.

Most people ignored them or simply believed the problem was localized or blown out of proportion. Even now, to admit to such widespread failure is overwhelming; the implications are simply too enormous to conceive.

Back in 2014 when I read this teacher’s letter to the editor, I was taken aback. At the time, my focus was primarily on Minneapolis and St. Paul public schools and the problems there. Had she written about certain high schools in Minneapolis or St. Paul, I would not have been surprised. But this was a high school teacher from the suburbs – a suburb I lived in at the time.

Bennett: I’ve Been Gone TOO Long…

Since the inception of Federal Observer in July of 2001, and what eventually became Kettle Moraine Precious Metals (NOW Sierra Madre Precious Metals) some years later – this world has changed – and not for the better. This nation has changed – not for the better. The people of the united States have changed – also – not for the better. What? You actually thought that Hillary not being allowed access to the Oval Office was cause for celebration? Well, yeah – in and of itself – it was – BUT we are living in even greater daily turmoil today that at any time that I can remember in my seven-plus decades of life. And hey – what about the Sniffy Scarecrow-In-Chief – the guy without a brain? Continue reading

So, Coincidentally… the Cookie Starts to Crumble!

Gates and Fauci

“The masks begin to fall off! The Chinese biological laboratory in Wuhan is owned by Glaxosmithkline, which (coincidentally) owns Pfizer” – the ones who makes the vaccine against the virus which was (coincidentally) started at the Wuhan Biological Lab and which was (coincidentally) funded by Dr. Fauci, who (coincidentally) promotes the vaccine!

“GlaxoSmithKline is (coincidentally) managed by the finance division of Black Rock, which (coincidentally) manages the finances of the Open Foundation Company (Soros Foundation), which (coincidentally) manages the French AXA! “Soros (coincidentally) owns the German company Winterthur, which (coincidentally) built a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan and was bought by the German Allianz, which (coincidentally) has Vanguard as a shareholder, who (coincidentally) is a shareholder of Black Rock,” which (coincidentally) controls central banks and manages about a third of global investment capital.

“Black Rock” is also (coincidentally) a major shareholder of MICROSOFT, owned by Bill Gates, who (coincidentally) is a shareholder of Pfizer (which – remember? Sells a miracle vaccine) and (coincidentally) is now the first sponsor of the ‘WHO!’

Now you understand how a dead bat sold in a wet market in China has infected the WHOLE PLANET!
