President Ford and his Viet Nam PROBLEM CHILD

2 Replies

In 1975, President Ford was left to manage the difficult ending of the Vietnam War.

President Ford went to Congress for a relief package to allow American personnel and our allies to evacuate. However, there was ONE US SENATOR who opposed any such support. The result was the embarrassing and hurried evacuation from the roof of the American embassy in Saigon.

This senator reveled in the embarrassment and did everything he could to leverage it politically against Ford. Despite the efforts of this U.S. Senator – President Ford managed to rescue 1,500 South Vietnamese allies prior to the country’s fall.

Had President Ford not acted quickly, these people would have been targeted and slaughtered for their support for America. Continue reading →

        Dr. Tom Dooley

The following is edited from a column that I wrote over 20 years ago, and although much has changed in those years – much has remained the same. Although I had re-posted the original column in July of 2023 – it is the early part of said column that has now come back to haunt me – due in part to a number of columns relating to Agent Orange that I have recently published.

Can ya’ dig it? I can’t, but my fight will not cease.

Oh – and in case you are wondering about the title of this column? It was taken from a book about Dr. Tom Dooley that was written by James Monahan. Tom Dooley??? – Well just who in the hell was he?  Thomas A. Dooley M.D. was an American physician who worked in Southeast Asia at the outset of American involvement in the Vietnam War. I became aware of the Dr., his work AND his books in 1961 – the year that he died at the age of 34. As time went on – it would appear that we had a few things in common. ~ Editor

Here’s an interesting idiomatic argot to begin this commentary, but that’s what I do; isn’t it…

This metaphoric title is powered by a particularly vivid contrast: “the inviting sensory appeal of a festive beverage juxtaposed with the revolting suggestion of feculent contagion.”

Or…

“Someone or something that spoils, ruins, or needlessly complicates a situation or circumstance; a disagreeable nuisance or source of irritation.” Continue reading →

Benson: Kangaroo Courts and Show Trials Are Nothing Unusual in Amerika

Comrade Stalin is reported to have said once “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” In other words, show me the man we want arraigned and I’ll show you the crime we will concoct to fit his Personna.

This kind of thing goes all the way back to the Lincoln assassination trial, when the Lincoln conspirators – so called – were put on trial and convicted on the basis of much concocted “evidence” a lot of which had nothing whatever to do with the crime at hand. But that made no difference. They were there to be convicted, not to receive an honest trial. Continue reading →

Exposed to Agent Orange at US Bases, Veterans Face Cancer Without VA Compensation

For me – two months at Ft.

A chemical in Agent Orange is a known carcinogen linked to several cancers, chronic conditions and birth defects.

A soldier participates in the Norwegian Foot March at Fort Ord National Monument, in Monterey County, California, Oct. 28, 2022. Mounting evidence shows that to kill pervasive poison oak and other weeds at Fort Ord — a former Army base, which closed in 1994 — the military sprayed and experimented with the powerful herbicide combination Agent Orange as far back as the 1950s. (WINIFRED BROWN/U.S. ARMY)

As a young GI at Fort Ord in Monterey County, California, Dean Osborn spent much of his time in the oceanside woodlands, training on soil and guzzling water from streams and aquifers now known to be contaminated with cancer-causing pollutants.

“They were marching the snot out of us,” he said, recalling his year and a half stationed on the base, from 1979 to 1980. He also remembers, not so fondly, the poison oak pervasive across the 28,000-acre installation that closed in 1994. He went on sick call at least three times because of the overwhelmingly itchy rash.

Mounting evidence shows that as far back as the 1950s, in an effort to kill the ubiquitous poison oak and other weeds at the Army base, the military experimented with and sprayed the powerful herbicide combination known colloquially as Agent Orange. Continue reading →

April 21, 2009 – You spend your entire adult life living life the right way. You buy a car on ‘time’, you pay your debt. You get retail store credit cards, such as JC Penney, Sears, Best Buy, etc – you pay your bills on time or before they are due.

You purchase your first home in 1972, another in the Spring of ’76, sell it and buy another in the Fall of the same year. In ’79 your daughter is born, you pay the bill to the hospital because you have no insurance and you buy another house, and then another in ’80 and ’85, move to the Valley of the Scum in ’’90 and buy another house, and another in 2003, sell it in 21 months and make a killing, and buy another in 2005.

Our Political System Is a Joke INDEED!

The following is from an email which I received from a listener in November of 2023. ~ Editor

Elections are simply an illusion, a choice of “erection” and perhaps which orifice we would like violated for the next four years. Forgive my vulgarity please but I’m out of patience with the so-called citizens who have allowed this to happen to us, and even less patience with the demonic powers whom deliberately sold us this joke we call a country, at least in modern form.

We find ourselves living in a combination horror, comedy, and freak show. Decades of poor decisions predated decades or treason which created a “civilization” who embraced demonism and jungle law. How in Hell does a Nation recover from that? How can any country anywhere operating under the “Democratic” umbrella of governance function if the morons casting the votes are uneducated, uninvolved, and at best make their political decisions based solely on a few minutes of casual research, IF THAT?

Liberté, égalité, fraternité

Sometimes you’re not supposed to directly confront the problem you’re dealing with in a way that causes you to strive and this is because God is attempting to teach you to rest in Him.

Sometimes It is better to trust wholeheartedly like a child than to kick against the enemy in desperation.

They want you fighting on their terms: Chaos. Fear. Discord.

Here it comes… the next incremental phase of government droning of the population, and it starts with your kids, all in the name of “safety”. And the sad part, VERY SAD PART, is that parents are allowing their children, their babies, to be injected with this chemical garbage, that has been positively linked to autism (which has increased by ONE THOUSAND PERCENT since the introduction of the MMR vaccine) and other health problems. We already have millions of kids on ritalin, prozac, and other “behavior modification” drugs, now it is going to be a “criminal offense” to refuse inoculations for your children.

How long are we going to continue to be herded like cattle? How can people say they care for their children while voluntarily jamming these disease-ridden chemical acronyms into their bloodstream. It is disgraceful. Start to stand up for YOUR RIGHTS… for your children’s rights… they can’t defend themselves and they depend on their parents to do the right things and PROTECT them.

Dickens: Circling the Drain

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.” ~ George Orwell

It means “the rapid decline of a state or its downfall, especially leading to its inevitable utter failure or destruction.”

The title is a metaphor. Picture water going down the drain in a toilet. It forms an eddy, the water swirling in a circular fashion as the bowl empties, until only a small amount remains, slowly circling the drain until it finally disappears.

Listen closely…

Do you hear that sound?

The one that sounds like a flushing toilet.

It should sound familiar…

It’s the sound of our constitutional republic going down the drain…

Experts Sound Alarm: COVID-19 Vaccines Linked to Aggressive ‘Turbo Cancers’ and Health Risks

Leave a reply

Recent statements from leading medical experts are raising concerns about the safety profile of COVID-19 vaccines and their potential impact on long-term health outcomes. Dr. Harvey Risch, professor emeritus of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, has highlighted evidence suggesting an increase in cancers after COVID-19 vaccinations.

Dr. Risch’s research indicates that clinicians have observed unusual cancer cases, such as colon cancer in young individuals without a family history of the disease. These “turbo cancers,” as they’re termed, exhibit aggressive growth and are often diagnosed at advanced stages, challenging traditional understandings of cancer development. Moreover, concerns extend beyond cancer to autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative conditions, and infections. Dr. Risch attributes these adverse health outcomes to potential damage to the immune system caused by COVID-19 vaccines, leading to compromised immune responses and heightened susceptibility to various diseases.

Christian Teacher’s Stand Really Paid Off

A school district in Southern California is having to compensate a teacher who was fired for not going along with its so-called “transgender” policies, and one attorney says it’s a win for teachers of faith everywhere.

Jessica Tapia taught physical education at Jurupa Valley High School in Riverside County, which is part of the Jurupa Unified School District, until she was let go last year for “hypothetically, in statements to district personnel” refusing to call students by their preferred pronouns and refusing to allow them to use the restroom or locker room of their choice.

She also refused to keep that sort of information secret from parents, according to the federal suit.

The school district did not admit to doing anything wrong but has agreed to pay Tapia $285,000, plus an additional $75,000 for her attorneys’ fees. As part of the settlement, Tapia also agreed not to seek future employment with the district, and both sides agreed to not disparage each other or file future lawsuits. Continue reading →

US Is Failing To Counter Threat Of Chinese Land Ownership

The United States government is not appropriately addressing the threat posed by growing Chinese ownership of American land, according to a report released by the Heritage Foundation Thursday.

The federal government is woefully ill-equipped to track Chinese-owned real estate in the country, despite the serious threat these Chinese Communist Party-affiliated entities can pose to critical U.S. infrastructure, according to the report. The report calls on federal and state leaders to take action, such as increasing transparency and conducting more critical reviews of land purchases. Continue reading →

U.S. House Panel Debates Voting by Noncitizens, Which Is Already Illegal

U.S. House Republicans are promoting a bill to curb voting by noncitizens. Though noncitizens can vote in some local elections, it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections.

Republicans on the U.S. House Administration Committee argued at a Thursday hearing that there is a need for legislative action to bar noncitizens from voting in federal elections — even though voting by noncitizens in federal elections is extremely rare and already illegal.

“American elections are for American citizens and we intend to keep it that way,” the chair of the committee, Rep. Bryan Steil of Wisconsin, said in his opening remarks.

House Democrats said Republicans were laying the groundwork to instill mistrust in voting ahead of the November elections… (Continue to full article)

China’s growing threat to U.S. national security in the crosshairs of Congress

House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability held a hearing on the explosion in the number of Chinese nationals entering the U.S. via the southern border since President Joe Biden took office.

Unfortunately, under the Biden administration, border patrol agents have been instructed that when processing Chinese nationals, they should conduct short, basic interviews that include only generic background questions instead of in-depth interviews.

The influx of illegal immigrants from one of the U.S. greatest rivals has raised national security concerns. In fact, as The Center Square previously reported, FBI Director Christopher Wray last month told attendees at an American Bar Association’s Committee on Law and National Security that China was the “defining threat of our generation.”… (Continue to full article)

Migrants Breach Fortified Border Barrier, March Through Texas Neighborhood

A group of nearly 100 migrants, including some young children, was observed marching away from the Rio Grande after breaching border barriers near the heart of downtown Eagle Pass, Texas. The migrants strolled through the city streets and were observed by residents who notified authorities of the breach.

One resident captured several photos of the large migrant group strolling through her neighborhood on Tuesday just as the Border Patrol arrived to make the arrest. The group managed to breach concertina wire installed along the Rio Grande by state authorities deployed to fortify the border under Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star.

A Customs and Border Protection source, not authorized to speak to the media, says many in the group will likely be released to pursue asylum claims within the United States… (Continue to full article)

The endgame of the Biden border crisis is to disenfranchise American citizens by diluting their votes

So you would have to say in all honesty, that the Biden border crisis is a manufactured crisis. It’s not accidental or coincidental. It was done on purpose.

The question has been put forward–can this be considered election interference? Probably it can, but do you think that bothers the Democrats? If you do you are prone to delusion. Today’s Democrats lack any moral scruples whatever. Anything, no matter how raunchy or outright crooked, that will put their people in office is totally acceptable and is encouraged… (Continue to full article)

It is among a series of legislation that the House GOP has vowed to bring to the chamber’s floor in the coming days in honor of National Police Week. Republicans said in a release on Wednesday that the bills “highlight our continued support for America’s law enforcement offices.

Biden plans executive order to shut down border once crossings reach 4,000 per day…
…despite saying he needs Congress to act!

President Biden is planning executive action that would allow him to shut down the US-Mexico border once the number of migrant crossings reaches 4,000 per day, a source close to the White House told The Post Wednesday.

The order would match a provision in the bipartisan border bill that failed to pass the Senate in February , which gave the president authority to expel migrants when border crossings reached the same daily average.

“Just give me the power. I’ve asked from the very day I got into office,” he said. “Give me the Border Patrol, give me the people, the judges — give me the people who can stop this and make it work right.”

However, the president has changed his tune… (Continue to full article)

Ex-DHS chief calls for reinstating ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy
Former Trump administration acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said President Joe Biden should reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” policy and use other measures to turn back migrants at the border, calling the current situation a crisis that has gone unaddressed for too long.

He also recommended invoking presidential authority under Section 212(f) to expel migrants due to an “emergency” at the border.

The comments came as more than a dozen Democratic members of Congress sent a letter urging Biden to secure the U.S.-Mexico border amid ongoing large numbers of migrant crossings.

Nearly every day since September, hundreds of migrants from China, Colombia and other countries have wiggled through openings in the border wall with Mexico and walked dirt trails to surrender to U.S. agents and seek asylum. Some days, more than 1,000 arrive in the boulder-strewn mountains near San Diego alone… (Continue to full article)
