RFK Jr as a hired GUNSLINGER! ” Wanted: Dead or Alive” Isn’t Working1

RFK Jr stars in this parody trailer of a ‘new’ episode of the classic TV Western “Wanted: Dead or Alive,” starring Steve McQueen.

Trump Is Right: The World Health Organization Isn’t Working

     The logo of the World Health Organization is seen at the WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, on June 11, 2019.

One of the first actions of the new Trump administration was to withdraw from the World Health Organization. Many public health advocates quickly raised alarm bells, citing longstanding arguments about the importance of the agency and what the U.S. stood to lose by withdrawing its membership and money.

It is unlikely that these advocates paused to consider that leaving the WHO is exactly the disruption needed after years of reform efforts that were long on talk but short on results. One of us knows this firsthand, having worked inside the WHO at the highest levels; the other has seen this as a private-sector innovator seeking to navigate its bureaucratic maze. Continue reading

The U.S. Department of Education on March 11 announced that 1,315 employees – about half its workforce – will be laid off within 90 days as part of its ongoing cost-saving measures.

A senior official told reporters in a press call that the staff reduction addresses redundancies in the communications, human resources, information technology, and other offices within the department.

The affected workers were to be notified via email at 6 p.m. on March 11. The Washington, D.C., office will be closed on March 12 for safety protocols, and the senior official said the workers are expected to work remotely with full pay and benefits through March 21. They will then be placed on administrative leave, with pay, through June 9. Continue reading

Bennett: ‘We are not a Democracy – we are a Republic

Thirty plus years for FREEDOM.

bennett_0608December 3, 2013 ~ This is what I have given my life for this past nearly three decades, and yet today I feel more enslaved that at any time in my life. Each day since June of 1995 I have awakened each day with intent and purpose – to teach, inform and educate the American public of that which we face today under the thumbnail of the Obamanites and their ruthless tyranny – and today I am more enslaved that at any time during my nearly sixty-six years on this earth.

Mind you – I lay the blame, not entirely at the hands of our former Tyrant, Barack Obama – for he is just a symptom of what is lacking in this country. He was chosen as ‘the ONE‘ who was best suited to lead this nation smack-dab into Socialism – albeit – the final nail into the coffin of what was once known as ‘America’ – the greatest experiment in Democracy ever known to exist.

Ross: Take Off Your Blinders

Jesus what happened to you America?

I had planned on getting back to work on a rather lengthy essay I began nearly a month ago, but sometimes something happens that throws a monkey wrench into the best laid plans. The other day, right after posting my last essay in fact, I read a post on Facebook that became the inspiration for this. The post was about a young woman with terminal cancer who had written a letter telling people to not let the little things bother them; that life was too short, too precious, and could end at any time for unexpected reasons.

This wasn’t the first time I’d seen or heard that message but there was something about this time that planted the seed that sprouted into what you are about to read.

Most people, if they are being honest, will tell you that they fear their own death; albeit some fear it for different reasons than others. Yet death is an inevitability we cannot escape, and becomes so the moment we take our first breath of life outside the womb. The truth of the matter is, there isn’t a thing any of us can to to prevent our passing when our appointed time comes.

I think that Confederate General Thomas ‘Stonewall’ Jackson understood this; for as he lay on his deathbed he told one of his officers, “Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. Captain, that is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave.” Continue reading

Pinsker: The Democratic Party Is Starving to Death

Daniel Pinsker/Wombo Dream

It’s a simple, straightforward formula: Politicians need money — lots and lots of money — to stay in power. (It isn’t exactly true since their reelection rates are sky-high anyway. But I guess when it’s their jobs on the line, it’s “all hands on deck.”) Businesses lust over the power of politicians: The right tax break or the wrong regulations can make or break your company.

That’s a helluva motivator.

Mercer: The Party of Perverts

…and you REALLY believe that things have changed? Bend Over! ~ Editor

October 29, 2022 ~ Edgar Allan Poe’s “The System of Dr. Tarr and Prof. Fether” tells of inmates in an asylum who overpower their wardens, tar and feather them, throw them into underground cells, and proceed to have “a jolly season of it” without them. The finer point of Poe’s short story is that, to the objective observer come to visit, there is little to distinguish lunatic from ostensibly sane overlord.

No such risk exists in the case of the Democrats, dreadful curs that they are (with apologies to the canine community). Continue reading

Ross: If you believe in God…

It is said that Winston Churchill is the one who coined the phrase, “History is written by the victors.” That is probably due to the fact that he once joked, “For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history myself.” (Speech to the House of Commons, Jan. 23, 1948) So, if Churchill did not originate that saying, who did?

I don’t think anyone knows for sure who came up with it, but it, or similar statements, date back as far as the mid 1800’s, in both French and Italian literature. In 1852 an Italian writer stated, “The history of these events was written by the winners.” (Atto Vannucci-Storia d’Italia Dai Tempei Piu Antich Fino All’invasione Dei Longbardi, Vol. 1) Going back another ten years, a French writer wrote, “[T]he history is right perhaps, but let us not forget, it was written by the victors.” (Jacques Bainville, Histoire de France) Continue reading

Whitehead: Nullifying the Constitution WON’T Make America Great Again

“You want to defend the United States of America, then defend it with the tools it supplies you with its Constitution.” ~ Seven Days in May (1964)

Anyone who wants to put America first needs to start by putting the Constitution first.

This should be non-negotiable.

Winning an election does not give President Trump – or any politician – the authority to sidestep the Constitution and remake the government at will.

That’s not how a constitutional republic works, even in pursuit of the so-called greater good.

Thus far, those defending the Trump administration’s worst actions, which range from immoral and unethical to blatantly unconstitutional, have resorted to repeating propaganda and glaring non-truths while insisting that the Biden administration was worse.

“They did it first” and “they did it worse” are not justifications for disregarding the law.

For that matter, omitting the Constitution from the White House website – pretending it never existed – does not give the president and the agencies within the Executive Branch the right to circumvent the rule of law or, worse, nullify the Constitution.

Mounting a populist revolution to wrest power from the Deep State only to institute a different Deep State is NOT how you make America great again. Continue reading

Gov. Jim Pillen: Trump’s Trade Policy Will Save US Farmers

For generations, trade has shaped our country into the envy of the world. America was built on it. Without robust partnerships and markets around the globe, our nation’s economy would grind to a halt. As I see it, though, our country’s conventional approach to tariffs , no matter how well-intentioned, has failed to address the modern complexities of the global trade market and the experience of America’s agricultural producers and manufacturers.

I’m a Nebraska farmer — not a columnist, talking head, or a politician. The only way I know how to do a job like this is to tell the truth and make difficult decisions simple: The hardcore reality is that many countries have beaten us on trade, installing hurdles and manipulating prices to hurt U.S. agriculture and industry for years and years.

It must stop. It’s time leaders in Washington step up to help, and I’m glad President Donald Trump is leading. Continue reading

Smith: Into the Quiet Shadows of American Isolationism

I know many people say Zelensky disrespected President Trump and Vice-President Vance on the 28th of February, but I didn’t see it quite that way. If I had been Zelensky, I never would have gone out before the cameras in the first place without having it settled in my mind exactly what it was I’d be signing. But he was 100% right to ask Vance “what kind of diplomacy”, since it was all too obvious to me that he and his country were being sold out and sold down the river for an expedient and bad “peace deal” just so Trump could smile into the cameras and proclaim he’d gotten Ukraine “the best deal evah“.

Dickens: What God Hath Wrought

The title ‘What God Hath Wrought‘ has been a recurring theme in our history. It symbolizes our reverence for technological progress and serves as a poignant reminder of the potential harm that can arise from the misuse of our advancements.

Beware the Djinn.

– AI The word djinn comes from the Arabic jinn, a plural noun that means both “demons or spirits” and also, literally, “hidden from sight.” The word genie shares the same Arabic root.

My title comes from the Biblical Book of Numbers 23:23, which Samuel Morris used in 1844 to demonstrate his telegraph, marking the technological beginning of a new communication age.

In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone, forever altering our communication. Its first successful connection in March of that year marked a pivotal moment in history.

A few years later, in 1897, Guglielmo Marconi introduced his wireless radio, a groundbreaking invention that sent a simple message through the air, without the need for wires. This marked a significant leap in global communication.

The world, especially our world, will never be the same. Continue reading

Covid Vaccine Syndrome Has Destroyed Our Lives – Suspected Victims in Their Own Haunting Words: ‘We’ve been left to rot…

Suspected victims of a new and alarming condition linked to Covid jabs have shared how it has left them unemployed, homeless and even relying on antidepressants.

Their harrowing tales came after Yale scientists said the previously-unknown condition, called post-vaccination syndrome (PVS), can can persist years after receiving the shots – made by the likes of Pfizer and Moderna.

It also comes as official data show the total number of British claims for compensation for injuries or deaths linked to Covid vaccines has reached a new high of 18,500. Continue reading
