Hickman: Does America Still Have the Tools to Solve Its Problems?

Two days ago I wrote to you about How Elizabeth Warren Destroyed an American Technology Company headquartered in her home state.

She killed a deal for Amazon to buy iRobot – maker of the popular Roomba robot vacuum cleaner. And as a result, iRobot filed for bankruptcy and got scooped up for peanuts by a Chinese rival.

All of that US intellectual property, not to mention mountains of personal data on iRobot’s US consumers, was handed over to the Chinese… courtesy of America’s favorite Cherokee warrior. Continue reading

Ross: Are You Prepared?

Do you think that God cares about what you look like? Do you think He cares if you are rich/poor; if you are a Democrat or a Republican; if you are a famous actor or just some working stiff trying to make ends meet? All God cares about is what is in your heart; whether or not you believe what John 3:16 tells us, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Yet there is more to being a Christian than simply believing that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the Living God; He who offered His life as a sacrifice for our sins; dying on the cross and rising on the third day into glory. Satan not only believes that, he knows that to be true; yet he is still condemned to eternal damnation for seeking to elevate himself above the Most High. Continue reading

DeWeese: A Challenge to Republican/Conservative Forces – What’s Your Plan to Win?

Republican spokesmen and conservative media continue to report with glee that the Democrats are out of control and finished as a political force. “They’re clueless,” “they’re crazy.” “Their leadership is completely out of control.” “The Democrats are done.” On and on it goes. “Are you tired of winning yet,” goes the most popular slogan. And, “The midterms are in the Republicans hands!”

My frustration grows as I’m forced to watch the absolute downfall of American freedom, led by those same pathetic Republican forces who have ignored and completely misunderstand the agenda they have been facing for over thirty years. Above all, they have no idea how dedicated the powers behind it are to assuring that it’s fully enforced. Continue reading

Smith: Trump’s Repugnant Second Amendment Positions

All the facts surrounding the ICE shooting of Alex Pretti still aren’t out, but I am of the mind that he absolutely got the ass beating he deserved – and maybe he did deserve to be shot if he still had his pistol on him and was reaching for it. But as near as I can gather, he was shot after he was disarmed, and if that’s the case – well Damn – ain’t that some real shit.

However, no matter the wrong or right of what Pretti did or didn’t do, up until the point he angrily impeded and obstructed the ICE agent in the commission of his duty and fought with him, Pretti had every right to be there watching and protesting, even with his firearm on his side.

As much as I hate the Democrat Communists, they still have a right to peaceful protest, but as we are witnessing, nine times out of ten, their idea of “peaceful protest” comes with a shitload of violence directed at ICE, Border Patrol and anyone identified as a conservative counter-protestor or conservative journalist – the latter two often being swarmed and threatened with bodily harm and death – all of which are part of the reason we all have the right to carry a firearm. Continue reading

Hickman: How Elizabeth Warren Destroyed an American Technology Company

Almost exactly two years ago I wrote about Senator Elizabeth Warren’s heroic quest to destroy Amazon’s acquisition of iRobot.

You might be familiar with iRobot; they are the maker of the robotic “Roomba” vacuum cleaner, and Amazon wanted to buy it for more than $1 billion.

Well, Lizzie Warren wasn’t having any of that. She wrote a hysterical letter to the Federal Trade Commission claiming the deal would “harm consumers,” as if we helpless little people would somehow suffer grievous bodily injury if Amazon bought a vacuum cleaner company. Continue reading

Smith: The Red Wind Over the Republic ~ and the Saints Will Reach for Rifles!

We are seeing our immigration mess pushed to its breaking point in America today by Democrat Party Communist leaders in every sanctuary state and city across the country.

America is facing a coordinated ideological insurgency that uses immigration chaos, sanctuary policies, and far‑left protest movements and their useful communist Idiots as instruments of revolutionary change. This insurgency is seen as rooted in Marxist-Maoist ideology, supported by sympathetic institutions, and amplified – though not necessarily completely directed – by foreign adversaries and the financial backing of entities such as the Chinese Communist Party.

Most patriotic Americans, such as myself, fully recognize and understand that our country is being transformed against our will. Understanding this perspective is essential to understanding the depth of today’s political conflict. Continue reading

Going Faster And Faster: The Acceleration Of Decline

There are times in the 27 years that I have maintained a series of websites, that the time goes by that I choose to republish and article that has something to SAY. The following was published July 15, 2002 on the original Federal Observer, in the category, ‘Village of the Damned‘ (so named for Hillary Clintons’ reference to “It takes a Village to raise a child.”) No thanks ma’am – leave our children in the hands of their parents. ~ Editor

Get your children OUT of the System – NOW

One must be careful in remembering better days. Memory presents an improving mirror, smoothing rough edges of rougher times, giving a warm glow to things that were less roseate when they happened. Like a good editor, it revises things for the better. Thus one recalls, or half-imagines, the idyllic boyhood in Mississippi, the favorite grove where one played in the slanting afternoon sunlight that probably wasn’t as golden as one recalls, with childhood companion who perhaps weren’t as admirable as they now seem. One forgets, or half forgets, the drunken parents and the poverty and hookworm. And so one must tread cautiously when pondering a past in which all things were better, cleaner, and purer. Yet…yet sometimes things were better, and sometimes things do decay. Sometimes a society does go from better to bad to worse. I wonder. Continue reading

Why 2026 Marks the Dawn of Nationwide School Choice

Trump’s new federal school choice program includes an irresistible pathway for taxpayers to help kids.

You DO have choices you know!!!

As we kick off National School Choice Week, there’s never been a more exciting time for families who seek educational freedom. Governors across the country now have a golden opportunity to opt their states in early to President Trump’s innovative federal tax credit scholarship program embedded in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, unlocking scholarships for millions of kids without touching a dime of public school funding. Continue reading

Sara: Another Shooting in Minnesota

And it’s awful. Again!

Again, another person who believed their presence was necessary, their purpose noble, and their cause just – did not return home.

Another person who believed they were fighting Nazis, the Gestapo, or fascists — fought to the death. Whether they wanted to, needed to, or understood what they were doing.

Another preventable situation that devolved quickly.

Another damaging war of words and narratives followed.

And the road of restoration for our nation becomes a little harder to pass – littered with all the junk dragged into it by both sides. Continue reading

Smith: America’s Enemies From Within Seek Her Destruction

The more I see and hear coming out of sanctuary cities and states all around the nation, whether we speak of New York City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago or up the road from me in Nashville, the more convinced I am that there isn’t any peaceful solution, and we freedom and liberty minded Americans can no longer sit idly by while America is slowly dismantled piece by piece by subversive Democrat Marxist-Maoist Communists far too willing to do any and everything to destroy Her, even to the point of accepting financial help and training from the Chinese communists and other communists abroad.

Many lack the courage to admit this fact, simply because they don’t want to tip the cart so-to-speak, and they somehow believe we can simply keep limping along trying to make compromise after compromise with these vile, evil, intransigent commie rat bastards in a manner that prevents America from succeeding and reaching Her full potential. They would rather see the nation die slowly so long as their own respective and relative comfort isn’t disrupted in the slightest, looking at only ensuring their own prosperity and “security” in the short term rather than doing everything within their power to ensure prosperity and real and solid security for all Americans while defending and protecting our inalienable God-given rights.

Massive Social Security Data Breach Sparks Identity Theft Fears for Millions

Illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios

Federal officials are scrambling to contain the fallout from a massive Social Security data exposure that has thrust millions of Americans into the crosshairs of identity thieves. A whistleblower has alleged that more than 300 m Social Security records were placed at risk, potentially affecting virtually every working-age and retired person who depends on federal benefits. The breach is not just a technical failure, it is a direct threat to people’s credit, bank accounts, and long term financial security. Continue reading

Smith: Between Yesterday’s Sorrow And Tomorrow’s Dark Doubt

Robert “LaVoy” Finicum

This is a story as old as mankind, as every person since the beginning of time has had choices to make and battles to wage from within and without, against himself, the elements and those who try to enslave him or suppress his natural right to freedom and liberty.

In the 20th and 21st centuries we have seen our own government commit egregious and unwarranted acts of violence against so many Americans, whether we look at Waco, Texas, Ruby Ridge and the assassination of Vicki Weaver or the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge standoff and the assassination of LaVoy Finicum.

January 26th marks the 10th anniversary of LaVoy’s murder at the hands of Oregon’s Highway Patrol and FBI Special Agents, in an ambush style attack on Highway 395 in 2016. ~ J.O.S.  Continue reading

I Have Spent Years Teaching in Public Schools… Here is why I will homeschool my own future kids.

The Biblical admonition to train up a child in the way he should go is part of the basis for homeschooling in this country. By creating new institutions on a Godly basis away from corrupt cultural Marxist thought and method, America will build the infrastructure to return to greatness. Today these new institutions may include homeschooling, home churches, small home based business, etc. These are the building blocks of the return to sanity in America.

While Emily Bute isn’t a mom yet, she has already made one decision for her future kids: she will not be sending them to public school.

As a special education teacher in the public school system herself, she said she has seen first hand how the ‘system does not address the needs’ of children.

Bute, based in Oahu, Hawaii, recently went viral on TikTok after she broke down all the reasons why she has decided that she will homeschool her kids when she has them. Continue reading

Hickman: Taxing Everything That’s Nailed Down

In the ancient town of Casinum – modern-day Cassino, Italy – parts of a Roman amphitheater still stand after nearly 2,000 years.

Carved into the stone, in Latin, is an inscription that translates to: “Ummidia Quadratilla, daughter of Caius, built the amphitheatre and temple for the people of Casinum at her expense.”

Ummidia Quadratilla was a wealthy Roman businesswoman who funded multiple public works, all out of her own pocket. Her name was carved in stone for eternity. When she died, she was respected enough that the younger Pliny wrote admiringly about her.

The Romans (and Greeks before them) called this practice euergetes – wealthy citizens funding infrastructure projects in exchange for public recognition. Rich people actually competed with one another to see who could give more since public generosity elevated one’s status. Continue reading

David saw a massive angel hovering over Jerusalem ready to destroy it (1 Chronicles 21)

King David sinned by taking a census (trusting in numbers rather than God). A plague hit Israel. David looked up toward the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

He saw “the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem.”

Visually, this is terrifying. A spiritual giant suspended in the sky, silhouetted against the sun or stars. In its hand is a colossal sword, pointed downward at the city. David and the elders, dressed in sackcloth, fell facedown. The threshing floor (a place where wheat is crushed) became the altar. David bought the site instantly to offer a sacrifice. That very spot, where the angel stopped, later became the site of Solomon’s Temple. The Temple was built on the ground where judgment was halted by sacrifice.

David did not sin by taking a census, Satan was attacking Israel (much like today) and David was making preparations.

Marquardt: Masters of Seduction, an Introduction!

A Personal Note from Tom DeWeese:
The following article from APC Vice President Kathleen Marquardt is quite long, but it is vital information detailing exactly how the radical Left operates and has been able to successfully label those of us working to stop them as mere conspiracy theorists and hate mongers. It’s worked for years. To fight against them you need the details in this article. Save it, file it, and share it. We have a long way to go to successfully restore the freedoms they have stolen.

Masters of Seduction

For decades many of us have been trying to wake the public up to the machinations of a plethora of our leaders working toward a one-world order controlled by the rich and powerful, to be structured on Marxism/communism.

Understand that for many years, there were dedicated citizens who tried to expose the dangers of the push for communist/Marxist world control. Those on the side of free-market, laissez-faire capitalism, property rights, personal freedoms were ridiculed, blackmailed, and otherwise treated like scum of the earth – so no “civilized” person would be silly enough to believe in their foolish statements against the United Nations, the World Bank, or even Greenpeace. Face it, General McArthur, Joseph McCarthy, General Benton Partin, Paul Harvey were the kind of leaders our great forefathers had been who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But these more recent were vilified and driven out of “the right” society.

What those, and others like them have done is to keep some semblance of freedom-supporting/promoting information in front of the masses when possible. Continue reading

Garrison: Cut Off the Funding to Violent Riots

The mega-billionaire George Soros and his son may not be funding the anti-Ice protests directly, but they send money to other projects and organizations that could be. Soros already sent money indirectly to fund the “No Kings” protests. Soros also funded the elections of far-left district attorneys in blue cities across the country. Those DAs let criminals go free to commit more crime including murder. Continue reading

Dickens: Where, Oh Where has America Gone? – the Series

Where, Oh Where has America Gone?

Oh Where, oh where, can it be?

Madness in individuals is rare, but in groups it is the rule. ~ Nietzche

This morning, as I awakened from my night’s slumber, I asked… “Where the fuck am I?

I don’t recognize this place. The surroundings seemed familiar: the room, my bed, my wife, but I had no idea where I was. This new reality is a product of mainstream media hocus pocus, mumbo-jumbo, and legerdemain.

Was my estrangement the result of a temporal anomaly or a rift caused by Google’s Quantum Computer, in an attempt to explain the irresponsible and hateful rhetoric from the mainstream media and elected leaders? These sources seem to endorse violence, substance abuse, murder, lawlessness, and seditious elements that further divide America and do not reflect its true values. Their agenda drives their narrative, shaping the discourse to support their goals, where lies are passed off as truth and the truth is irrelevant. Continue reading

Garrison: What’s That Squeaking Noise? The Republican Congress!

Both Bill and Hillary Clinton refused to comply with the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena that required them to testify about Jeffrey Epstein. It only underlines the hypocrisy of the Democrats, who repeatedly stated ‘nobody is above the law’ as they concocted bogus charges against Trump. The Clintons are above the law. Hillary committed egregious crimes, and her comrade James Comey let her off the hook. Continue reading
