School Bell Yes, Ma Bell Cell “NO!

Once upon a time, many moons ago, I was asked to teach a course to new analysts on Wall Street. The large amount of material to cover and the limited amount of time allotted during their 30-day training period were absurd. But what was even more absurd was that there was no cell phone ban.

Here were these wiz kids who had just gotten their shot at the major leagues. They thought they had the world in their hands. What they had in their hands was a cell phone. I might just as well have been speaking in outer space, an airless place where sound does not travel. Continue reading

Whitehead ~ The Police State Has a New Playbook: Martial Law, One City at a Time

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.” ~ H.L. Mencken

Let’s not mince words: every American should be alarmed by President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tactics, theatrics and threats.

What is unfolding in the nation’s capital is a hostile takeover of our constitutional republic.

This is no longer about partisan politics, wag-the-dog distractions from the Epstein debacle, or even genuine national security concerns.

This is martial law disguised as law-and-order – the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook. Continue reading

McLaughlin Poll: 77% Oppose Amnesty; 56%: Deport Every Illegal
Trump’s deportation force has wider support than liberal media will admit, while amnesty policies have conversely wide opposition, according to the latest poll by McLaughlin & Associates.

“Amnesty for illegal aliens is unfair, unsafe, deeply unpopular — and wrong,” Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chair Jenny Beth Martin wrote in a statement. “According to our survey, more than three-quarters of likely voters agree that it’s wrong to reward those who ‘jumped the line’ ahead of those who went through the process legally.

“And a majority of likely voters agree that every illegal alien should be deported.”… (Continue to full article)

Migrants Send $200 Billion Home, Some to Help Criminal Cartels
Migrants working in the United States send at least $200 billion home every year, including cash to criminal cartels, according to a new analysis of “remittances.”

The money collected by legal and illegal migrants went to 134 nations, but most was directed to Mexico, India, Guatemala, the Philippines, and China.

While much of the money was likely sent to relatives back home, some was also directed to cartels, said the analysis from the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

“In some cases, remittances intentionally or unintentionally support cartels, human smugglers, terrorists and organized crime,” said the analysis shared with Secrets. “Approximately $4.4 billion out of the $58.5 billion in total remittances sent to Mexico in 2022 were potentially linked to cartels… (Continue to full article)

DeWeese: Private Property Rights Are the Key to Freedom)

The increasing encroachment of government regulations, pontificating politicians, and the enforcement of Social Justice schemes have led to a loss of understanding of the terms private property and property rights. It was once understood that the unauthorized entering of private property was a violation to the utmost. The property owner was justified and supported in taking necessary actions to remove the trespasser and secure that land.

Today, such ideas are considered radical, old fashioned, out of touch, and even reprehensible. The homeowner can be arrested for defending against an armed intruder. The intruder can actually sue a homeowner for shooting them even as the intruder breaks down the door intending to rob and do harm. Home protection is called violence, perhaps even racism. It’s a whole new world of compliance, fear, and acceptance rather than pride, protection, and prosperity in ownership. Continue reading

Socialism, Like Dracula, Rises Again from the Grave

No matter what the reboot or rebrand may imply, Dracula is still a monster and “democratic” socialism is still tyranny.

July 27, 2018 ~ Many of us grew up watching Dracula movies – Nosferatu, the “Undead.” Fearful of the sunlight that could burn him into cinders, Dracula lived in a coffin filled with his native Transylvanian soil by day, only to come out at night to live off the life-giving blood of the living. But to continue his “unnatural” existence, this human-like vampire had to kill his victims by draining them of their own blood, or in the process of turning them into “creatures of the night,” like himself. Welcome to the nature and history of socialism. Continue reading

We’re Heading Toward A COVID Surge…

— Here’s When It’s Predicted To Peak

Coming around again…

It’s hard to predict COVID infections, but rates are high and growing throughout the country. Here’s what you should do to keep you and your loved ones safe.

Those sniffles likely aren’t a summer cold; COVID-19 is everywhere right now – and things are expected to get worse before they get better. Some experts predict virus rates will continue to rise as we ride out this summer infection surge. Continue reading

Smith: ‘Liberation Day in D.C.‘ – Legal Authority, Political Power, and… the End Game

Too damned much of the same ol’ same ol’ and a government that never really seems to protect and defend true liberty on any given day. It seems to always be growing, demanding more power over all and more control, whether warranted or not.

While I do have a bit of a concern over Trump’s recent action in D,C., by and large, I have to admit that it is the correct move under these particular current set of circumstances and given the nature of the communists who have been looting and driving the area into the ground for decades.

Most normal Americans will understand my commonsense concerns for this creative and legal move by President Trump. Under every legal section one cares to mention, Trump absolutely can lawfully take control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and the policing strategies and policies behind D.C.’s policing, but exercising this power in these politically charged days or in any indefinite manner comes with its own set of risks, and it could set a precedent for military-style urban governance in peacetime, much like we already witness throughout Mexico, Central and South America and other Third World shitholes.

Dickens: Hornswoggled!… I Said… Hornswoggled!

Believe what you will, but at your peril.

Albert Einstein once remarked:

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the universe.”

Hornswoggle – to get the better of someone by cheating or deception. It originally described someone who was embarrassed irretrievably, but we now have a new appreciation for this term… Continue reading

Men are Men

Welcome back, Men of America. It is now time to man-up and take back control of America from the girly-men who have been trying to destroy America for the last 100 years.

Men are men, and there is nothing toxic about masculinity. Since the early 1980s, there has been an underground movement to feminize American men as a result of the women’s liberation movement. Somehow, in the twisted minds of certain elements of American society, to liberate women required diminishing the stature of men. This wrongheaded approach has been particularly embraced by the Democrat Party, when we saw men in dresses and high heels as part of the recently deposed Biden administration. Men in dresses, high heels, and women’s sports has done nothing to enhance women’s liberation. In fact, these girly-men denigrated women’s stature and women’s sports. Continue reading

Smith: The Howl Beneath My Skin

The Soul That Never Learned to Lie

In a world where humanity has surrendered to the sterile hum of machines and the suffocating grip of routine, perhaps this poem may inspire some to be the one soul that remains untamed.

I was born with moss between my toes, and thunder and lightning braided into my hair. The world tried to tame me with clocks and codes, but I never fit into their cages or their prayers. Continue reading

Missing Children: Trump Admin’s 13,000 Found Are Drop in Bucket of Tragic Border Story

Finding 13,000 lost children calls for shouts of joy.

It’s also just a small dent in a tragic situation, a byproduct of U.S. borders left open.

Many may think of adults when they think of illegal immigration, but the administration of former President Joe Biden lost 320,000 unaccompanied children just from the border with Mexico alone, according to The New York Post. The Department of Health and Human Services launched an investigation in February to look into the mass disappearances of these children, many who are probably in the clutches of human traffickers, Trump administration officials say.

It has been announced that the Trump administration has now found 13,000 of these missing children. Continue reading

DeWeese: Social Justice, Destruction of Property Rights, and Government Tyranny (Part One)

You are a poor minority living in a government housing project called “Affordable.” It’s all paid for by the tax dollars of mostly middle-income Americans. Included are still more government programs that are providing monthly checks and coupons to supply food, free healthcare, free education, and let’s also throw in free cell phones. Continue reading

Smith: Great Jeans and Faux Leftist Outrage

It is a sad state of affairs beyond what anyone of any advanced years might have ever imagined could come to pass in America. The Far Left Freaks still persist in their attacks on all that is traditional and truly normal, so intent as they are to destroy the country and raze it to the ground to be rebuilt under the guidelines of their totalitarian utopian world view.

It is something the Bible forewarns, in that today, they don’t merely call the abnormal and perverse and deviant normal. They present all manner of evil as good. Continue reading

Smith: The Vanishing Horizon of Liberty

~ Introduction ~

Storm Clouds Gathering

Yes, perhaps many matters concerning the culture war as it relates to freedom and liberty in America are heading for a good turn around under the Trump administration, especially in regard to Title IX and women’s rights and security in the locker rooms and rest rooms. Religious freedom remains strong too under Trump, but on the whole, when we look at the combination of the issues underlying the cause of freedom and liberty in America, we have miles to go, and our Inalienable God-given Rights remain imperiled.

That both Democrat and Republican administrations and Congress have repeatedly renewed the Patriot Act and the FISA Act tells you all you need to know about the state of freedom and individual liberty in America.

As Aldous Huxley observed so many decades ago:

A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.”

We currently find millions of citizens who fit Huxley’s description of slaves. And it bodes ill for the future of the country.

Today’s new American serfs and slaves bear a helluva remarkable resemblance to someone with a job, a mortgage, a Social Security number, and one of RFK’s smartwatch health monitors. They have more conveniences than any generation in history, yet less individual sovereignty and liberty over the entirety of their life and existence on this earth.

No matter how uncomfortable many may find the truth, this is the path by which all can rediscover genuine freedom and liberty and tear asunder that which the totalitarian minds have forced upon our society and country on the whole.

No one can ever escape their prison walls, until the day someone awakens them to make them understand they are living inside a prison.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, a 19th century Russian novelist, made note of this very thing, when he wrote:

The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he’s in prison.”

And the first step to real freedom and liberty is to start ripping all the mechanisms of tyranny from our system such as it currently exists. Raze it to the ground, burn it to ashes and build a truly free society and a strong people from the ashes. ~ J.O.S.

FACT FOCUS: Trump Says He’s Cut Drug Prices by Up To 1,500%. That’s not possible!

Days after he sent letters instructing top pharmaceutical manufacturers to use a “most favored nation” pricing model for prescription drugs, President Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday that he had cut costs by up to 1,500%.

But Trump’s grandiose claim is mathematically impossible.

Here’s a closer look at the facts. Continue reading
