HILLARY’S HAUNTING HALLOWEEN RIDE

Our previous Halloween cartoon featured the ghost of Vince Foster telling Hillary that she was the “scary one.”

She truly is a scary person – a very corrupt and power-hunger criminal who still longs to be in the political limelight. She’s been on several stages recently and it’s encouraging to see people standing up and calling her out on her criminal behavior. It’s a good sign to see average citizens ready to mock her smug sanctimony. She deserves to be locked up even more, but that didn’t happen.

The result? She continued her criminal ways by purchasing the manufacture of lies against Trump – and we the taxpayers had to spend millions of dollars to sort it all out. She’s still not in jail and neither are any of the other criminals protected by the Deep State. They include Biden, Fauci, and many others from the FBI and CIA.

Halloween is the perfect time to make fun of ghosts, goblins, and Hillary Clinton.

Benson: Our Sieve Of A Southern Border And Middle Eastern Terrorists

The Biden/Obama Regime recently sent 800 troops to the border. Why? So They can speed up the paperwork in letting illegal immigrants into the country, that’s why. They won’t be allowed to do anything that will hinder those illegals from getting in. We’ve already lost the border to the illegals and the cartels so all these troops will be allowed to do is facilitate the paperwork that will allow them to stay here. They will be allowed to do nothing to keep the illegals out because the Biden/Obama Regime wants as many as possible here for next year for the 2024 election. The regime plans to turn Texas into a blue state if they can give the illegals the ability to vote next year. Continue reading

BIDEN’S SMOKING GUN

A trusted FBI agent revealed that Joe Biden, using his son as a middle man, accepted millions of dollars in bribes from Ukraine. When a reporter asked Joe about this, Biden laughed arrogantly and replied, “Where’s the money?

The House Oversight Committee recently released evidence of that money, and it’s probably the tip of the iceberg.

Ross: Part 1 ~ The Origin of a Dynasty

For almost as long as there has been money there have been bankers; those whose chosen profession is to profit off the use of other people’s money. One aspect of banking that people do not pay much attention to is money changing; the exchanging of the currency of one country for that of another. Much has been written and said about these predatory vipers, but there are two specific instances that I feel are worthy of discussion.

The first is found in the Bible, when Christ overturned the tables of the money changers in the temple; declaring, “My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” I have heard many different explanations for why Christ did that; with two being the most prominent. Some say that it was simply due to the fact that the money changers had set up shop on holy ground. The other explanation is that the money changers were robbing the people by exchanging the Roman currency for Sheckels at a rate far less than they were worth; pocketing the profit. In either case, Christ called them a den a thieves; a term that applies just as much today as it did back then. Continue reading

It’s Business as Usual at the Border

While Biden Deals With the Middle East, hundreds of invaders from all over the world keep squeezing through the wall

550 people crossing into Arizona in little more than an hour on Thursday evening in just one small patch of the border with Mexico

First comes the phone, thrust through the steel bars and twisted one way and then the other as its camera scans for Border Patrol officers.

Then comes the clanging, as the bars — already cut with an acetylene torch — are forced apart.

Only then come the people. Man, woman, child, woman, child, child, man, man, woman.

Eight bodies emerge on to American soil beside Donald Trump’s border wall in Arizona. They bear right, armed with instructions on how to find Border Patrol officers and hand themselves in. Continue reading

Ross: Who’s Running This Sh*t Show?

“The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.” ~ Proverbs 22:7

~ Introduction ~

According to film experts, the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz is the most widely viewed film of all time. I have no idea if that is true or not, but if it is then people should know what I am talking about when I mention the scene towards the end of the film when Toto (not the band) pulls back the curtain to reveal the real wizard. If the movie is as widely viewed as film historians claim, then people should also remember what the wizard says, ‘Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.’ Continue reading

The Incandescent Ban and the LIE of LED Efficiency

Not all of us have time to get a degree in electrical engineering to make sure our home doesn’t look like the inside of an alien spaceship.

It happened as I went to grab a new package of baby wipes from under the sink. I flipped on my bathroom light, and I noticed something strange – one of my three mirror light bulbs began flickering and ultimately settled at a barely luminous dim setting.

My LED light went out… Continue reading

Holmquist: What to Expect When You’re Expecting Totalitarianism

The political jargon and posturing one hears these days seems to suggest that we are in an era unlike any that has ever occurred before. Hope springs anew, there is light at the end of the tunnel, politicians gush, and for those of our elites who really want to impress with their knowledge of history, a reference to Abraham Lincoln fits the bill nicely: we’re seeing “a new birth of freedom”!

I’d agree that something certainly is in the process of being birthed, but I’d be hard pressed to call that baby “freedom.” Some would even say this baby better bears the opposing name of “totalitarianism.” Continue reading

Bennett: War, What is it good for? Absolutely NOTHING!

There are times then I find it worthwhile to republish an old column that I wrote – back a long time ago. Why? To show off? NO – to show that little has changed in this nation or around the world. It has only gotten worse.

What you are about to read is quite dated – but it shows that we are living in circles these days. I will assume that I wrote and posted this piece nearly 20 years ago on the first generation Federal Observer. Tell me what has changed! ~ Jeffrey Bennett, Editor

Can you explain this to me? As I rocked my granddaughter to sleep the other night, I wept for this little girl. Second thoughts anyone? No child of any deserves this!

The following email was received by The Federal Observer in response to a picture depicting a dead child, mutilated, with her foot dangling… Continue reading

Not One, Not Some, But All…

I received a message from Brother David this morning on this exact topic. I responded to an assertion that this is something new. On the contrary – what we face happens all the time and throughout history just before the fall of every great nation when people equate irresponsibility and recklessness – licentiousness with freedom.

Allowing free expression is essential to growth, but knowing what to say and when is crucial to the republic’s survival. It’s like yelling fire in a crowded theater – you can, but should you? We forget that freedom implies responsibility and a willingness to agree to disagree. It allows everyone a choice of what and who to believe. The most difficult of all is deciding what’s most important: the Republic or the Individual. Continue reading

Smith: Americans Must Prepare to Kill or Be Killed

“If you hate America, if you want to abolish Israel, if you don’t like our religion – which a lot of them don’t – if you sympathize with jihadists, then we don’t want you in our country and you are not getting in.” ~ Donald J. Trump, New Hampshire, October 23rd 2023

I could give a damn less about where a man has his origins, just as long as he exhibits a true fidelity and allegiance to the principles that built America. But a phenomenon we see so apparent throughout our society today is that it has been overrun by a massive host of anti-Americans in a way never before seen in America.

The entire premise underlying the cited reason for the 1965 Immigration Act could never work; it was preposterous and insane from the beginning, and every single thing traitors like Senator Ted Kennedy said wouldn’t happen have happened and come to pass.

America would have been a thousand times better off if we had left well enough alone and left these people who held antithetical ideas to ours right where they were, to make their lives better or not. We sure would have avoided a multitude of problems that have since emerged from this one act alone, and they could have hated us from afar, rather than coming to America and harassing us with charges of being imperialists and white supremacists who still want to oppress them.

Oppress them, My Ass! They arrived by the millions and have been appeased, pampered, coddled and catered to from the first day they hit our shores.

It’s way past time to place a total halt to all immigration and seal every border point of entry tighter than a young virgin’s chastity belt. Stop letting our enemies into our country; leave them where they are and let them hate us while they stew over not having any stew, or any U.S. welfare dollars. ~ J.O.S.

Evil Walks Among Us: Monsters with Human Faces Wreak Havoc on Our Freedoms

“But these weren’t the kind of monsters that had tentacles and rotting skin, the kind a seven-year-old might be able to wrap his mind around – they were monsters with human faces, in crisp uniforms, marching in lockstep, so banal you don’t recognize them for what they are until it’s too late.” ~ Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

Enough already.

Enough with the distractions. Enough with the partisan jousting.

Enough with the sniping and name-calling and mud-slinging that do nothing to make this country safer or freer or more just.

We have let the government’s evil-doing, its abuses, power grabs, brutality, meanness, inhumanity, immorality, greed, corruption, debauchery and tyranny go on for too long.

We are approaching a reckoning.

This is the point, as the poet W. B. Yeats warned, when things fall apart and anarchy is loosed upon the world.

We have seen this convergence before in Hitler’s Germany, in Stalin’s Russia, in Mussolini’s Italy, and in Mao’s China: the rise of strongmen and demagogues, the ascendency of profit-driven politics over deep-seated principles, the warring nationalism that seeks to divide and conquer, the callous disregard for basic human rights and dignity, and the silence of people who should know better.

Yet no matter how many times the world has been down this road before, we can’t seem to avoid repeating the deadly mistakes of the past. Continue reading

Gun Control Advocates Ignore What the Founding Fathers Really Thought

We don’t have to guess what the founding fathers thought about gun rights. We can read what they wrote.

In all my years of existence, the Second Amendment of our Constitution has always been considered controversial. Opponents claim it is the cause of gun violence. Proponents assert that it helps guarantee freedom and safety.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

These twenty-seven words have been the subject of much debate during the 20th and 21st centuries. Does it mean that citizens only have a right to own guns if the state has a well-regulated militia in place that they are a part of, or does it mean absolutely that the right to bear arms should not be infringed? Perhaps it means that you can only use guns for hunting purposes, or you’re not allowed to have anything more complicated than an 18th century musket because that’s what the founders had when they wrote this?

Address to the Congress of the united States of America

…during the Continued Terrorism AGAINST the American People!

I am a constitutional citizen of this sovereign nation, a voter, and a taxpayer. I served honorably in the armed forces of this nation for 4 1/2 years – in part including 21 months in Viet Nam. I retired an enlisted man on January 7, 1970 and have continued to work in the private sector, running my own business. I generate a good amount of money for the various governments I have empowered through my continued support, those being Federal, State & Local. I am neither an idiot nor a coward. I believe in our blessed savior, Jesus Christ. I have raised two children and three grandchildren during all of this. My point is that I have comported my life as was expected of me by the society we have forged together. There are many who have not, most notably, your selves. Continue reading

New Records Unveil Surprising Scope of Secretive ‘CBP One’ Entry Scheme

Began far earlier and let in many more nationalities in far greater numbers than publicly disclosed

CBP One appointment recipients wait in long lines on the Matamoros, Mexico, side of an international bridge waiting to be called in by CBP officers on the Brownsville, Texas, side. May 2023 photo by Todd Bensman.

In January 2023, the Biden Administration announced what has become the cornerstone of its “new lawful pathways” strategy to manage the historic volumes of foreign nationals illegally crossing the U.S Southwest border.

The White House announcement explained that inadmissible aliens from four of the most numerous nationalities crossing illegally – Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Haitians, and Cubans – would be able to use the “CBP One” mobile phone app to schedule an appointment with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers, in order to be escorted through a port of entry (POE) and quickly granted temporary “humanitarian parole” and released into the country.

Benson: China Joe Loves The Middle Class To Death – Its Death!

I noted just this morning how Biden’s excuse for a press secretary talked about how he had turned the economy around so it now benefits the middle class. My first thought was – what a ton of bovine fertilizer that is. And in typical Marxist fashion – that is the exact opposite of what has really happened. But then, Biden’s press secretary wouldn’t know the truth if it bit her on the rump! Continue reading
