What Charles Ponzi’s Scheme and US Entitlement Programs Have in Common

The structure of Charles Ponzi’s scheme must have impressed the policy makers coming of age in the 1930s, because they would use the same structure for the nation’s new Social Security system.

When Charles Ponzi’s investment opportunity to sell international postage stamps was exposed to be a scam in 1920, its basic premise would forever be associated with the man’s name. A Ponzi Scheme promises investors massive returns on an investment that does not really exist. Instead, unknown to everyone but the person or people running it, old investors are paid with money that comes in from new investors. This set up usually goes undetected until the one day when the well of new investors dries up and the money stops flowing in. Continue reading

Benson: Legitimizing Perversion ~ Sodomy on the Potomac

I tuned in to the 7 p.m. (here) timeslot on Fox News recently, the first time I’ve done so since Fox decided Tucker Carlson was giving us too much truth and let him go. That night, Harris Faulkner was the emcee and while not Tucker, she didn’t do too bad all things considered. Ms. Faulkner seems to be a Christian lady and last night part of her presentation dealt with why this country is headed in the wrong direction spiritually. No sane person could argue with her viewpoint. She noted America’s greatness, but also noted that we are going the wrong way at this point.

Part of our problem, though not all of it, is the current regime in Sodomy on the Potomac. The Biden Regime has legitimized perversion and renamed it “equity and inclusion.” Continue reading

Benson: Don’t Condemn Whites For What You Did Yourselves!

If one were foolish enough to believe sanctimonious leftist loonies he would think the institution of slavery started in the American South in 1619 as a way for nasty white Southerners to oppress blacks and for no other reason. Thankfully, such leftist drivel is far from the truth, though not nearly enough people today realize that, thanks to the balderdash that is passed off as history in most public schools.

Adrift? No Longer…

While enjoying my morning routine of coffee and headlines, profound apprehensions plague me, knowing we’re lost and foundering. Not only as a republic but as a society. Is this awareness the new normal? Is it what we endure and where we abide? Or will we alter our course before this sinking ship of state drags us all under?

It may be too late.

I’m looking for similes and corollaries, but all I can find is space – as in the universe, but I imagine the ocean, standing at the shore, wondering what’s on the other side. We know the sea is finite; it’s a massive depression in the earth filled with water. On the other hand, as Einstein postulates, “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.” Continue reading

Smith: White Children ~ Indoctrinated to Hate Their Roots

I would never have been as conscious of racial differences growing up if so much hadn’t always been made of it all. I was taught at home to worry not about the color of anyone’s skin and simply take them according to how they treated me and whether or not they were trustworthy, honorable persons of integrity, in essence, judge them “by the content of their character”.

But it’s a whole new world out there today, with blacks and hispanics and every other race that might have a grudge against White America recently empowered and emboldened by the Biden regime’s own race-baiting stance and it’s own self-loathing and expressed hatred for White People, especially White Christians in America.

I could give two hoots in hell about a man’s color, and I sure as hell can’t help that I was born white as Casper the Ghost, but I’ll be damned and go down taking a body count, before I let myself or any of my white family members be murdered simply for the “crime” of being white. Continue reading

Parents, Plan Your Escape From Public Schools

With math and reading scores lower than they’ve ever been recorded, a researcher says the American education system has received another disappointing report card.

The math scores for the lowest performing students hit levels last seen in the 1970s, while their reading scores were actually lower than the first year the data was collected, in 1971.

According to federal data, average scores for 13-year-olds declined four points in reading and nine points in math. Pandemic lockdowns carry much of the blame, but David Randall of the National Association of Scholars says the Biden administration has not helped. Continue reading

The Tree of Liberty Is DYING

The Tree of Liberty is rotting and dying where She once grew strong and vibrant, from a lack of care and watering with the blood of tyrants and patriots, while the American system has already grown rotten and corrupt to its very core, thanks to America’s enemies from within and a largely apathetic, complacent or complicit American population and a people who have become unimaginably corrupt. And, it surely leaves those of us who still love America wondering what is preventing millions of good and decent freedom-loving, liberty-loving conservative and independent Americans from taking to the streets in a furor of civil unrest, seeking out our country’s traitors with lengths of rope, piano wire and rifles in our hands.

Biden’s CBP One ‘Legal’ Entry Scheme: Both Illegal and National Security Danger

(July 4, 2023) – Border security is national security – not just at the long stretches between ports of entry, but at the legal crossing points as well.

Andrew Arthur, a Center for Immigration Studies fellow with long experience at the intersection of immigration law and national security, has written a piece on the security implications of the Biden administration’s CBP One entry scheme for inadmissible aliens. Continue reading

Independence Day? Half of America Doesn’t Even Know the Meaning of the Word.

I didn’t much feel like celebrating anything this year, and I especially don’t feel like celebrating this national holiday that really means next to nothing today, as I see it. I don’t know … You may see it differently for reasons I’m missing, but the overall situation of America today has just sickened me, and I find it hard to believe that this is where we’ve come, despite all the checks and balances provided for in the Constitution.

But then again, our downfall can be explained through the Founders’ own words. They oft stated that our Constitution was designed to be exerted and applied by a moral people and society, and short of staying close to our Christian and Western principles and God, they noted it would fail. Continue reading

The GREAT AWAKENING…

A Newly produced film which lasts for over an hour and a half – but you WILL understand it all. This film producer has finally awoken!

THIS is what we are dealing with – and the end is forthcoming – UNLESS we WAKE UP – NOW

Traitor to the Constitution: The U.S. Government Is the REAL Criminal

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable.” ~ H.L. Mencken

And so it continues…

This entire fiasco – indicting Donald Trump for allegedly violating both the Espionage Act and obstructing justice by improperly handling classified records – is merely the latest in a never-ending series of distractions, distortions, and political theater aimed at diverting the public’s attention from the sinister advances of the American Deep State.

Don’t allow yourselves to be distracted, diverted or mesmerized by the cheap theater tricks.

This indictment spectacle is Shakespearean in its scope: full of sound and fury, signifying NOTHING. Continue reading

Dragnet – The Big Departure Speech

Officers Joe Friday (Jack Webb) and Bill Gannon (Harry Morgan) discuss politics and social issues in this 1968 Dragnet clip that has everyone talking. The detectives never lose their cool, but they come close to it as you’re about to see.

The famous clip aired on March 7, 1968, and revolves around Sergeant Joe Friday and Officer Bill Gannon, his partner. They face daily challenges at work and deal with critical questions, such as race riots, LSD, you name it. Continue reading

The End Justifies the Means

If there were ever an argument for why decisions are so far off the moral and ethical target, and that supports the statement that America has no moral compass, this title says it in five words.

These five words explain every unconstitutional, unethical, and immoral decision in our republic. These five words mask any implication of impropriety because, from a particular perspective, it’s for the greater good, the good of the republic, because… “The End Justifies the Means!

When the exception becomes the rule, there is no need for reason. When everything becomes an excuse, there are no more pretexts. When a republic rationalizes everything as critical to its existence, it eventually fails, and there is no need for morality.

America is that republic. Continue reading

They Stood Up To Schools Over Special Ed Concerns…

Then Child Protective Services Arrived!

When their 7-year-old son, Tristan, who has autism and is nonverbal, arrived home from school with bruises and a lump on his head, Bronx parents Luis and Michelle Diaz began to worry.

They asked the school to look into the 2021 incident and requested a new paraeducator for their child. The classroom aid hadn’t mentioned the injury, despite messaging them throughout the day, the parents said, erasing their trust in her.

But the family’s search for answers and solutions brought them head-on into a problem they hadn’t anticipated: The school pointed the finger back at the Diaz parents, alleging neglect and inadequate supervision of their child. Soon, a caseworker with the Administration for Children’s Services, known as ACS, the New York City agency responsible for investigating suspected child abuse, showed up at their door.

“We were just trying to advocate for our son and find out what happened like any parent would,” Michelle Diaz said. “This is where the retaliation started.” Continue reading

Smith: A Legacy for America’s Children

If there’s ever been a thing that could end America, it’s this climate change lunacy that seems to have wormed its way into the brains of all the fools of the country, which are surprising large in number, and just enough to give the Biden regime its justification for pursuing national suicide in this manner.

Yes Toto, we ain’t in Kansas no mo’!

Dwyer: On the 100TH Anniversary of Bolshevik Revolution in Russia

Is it Going to Repeat Itself in the U.S.?

The following was written by Mark Andrew Dwyer and published on the Federal Observer on September 10, 2017. ~ Editor

Introduction
Many political dysfunctionalities, anomalies, and pathologies that have been proliferating across the West for a few decades now are the results of a metastasis of the Soviet Bolshevism that had been carried on with mass emigration of the so-called “intelligentsia” from Russia, former Soviet Union, and its satellites. Some of the emigrants went straight to the U.S. while others settled and procreated elsewhere, with many of their progeny finding their way, legally or otherwise, to America. A brief analysis of the political trends and structure of the Soviet Union reveals certain disturbingly close similarities between them and some of their counterparts in the U.S. and the European Union. These similarities and the presence of the striving “intelligentsia” of the Russian-Soviet extraction in the U.S. move our country closer to a point where the necessary conditions for the neo-Bolshevik revolution are met. The above described process seem to follow directions how to impose socialism that were given to the Soviets by the Frankfurt School’s Institute for Social Research in the 1920s. Continue reading

A Vietnam War Combat Nurse Recounts Her Memories of War

Welcome Home, Sister!

In 1968, Cheryl Feala of North Bend, Nebraska was a nursing graduate and a 2nd Lieutenant in the United State Army stationed at Chu Lai Airbase located just 55 miles from the DMZ during the Vietnam War. Cheryl reflects on her memories as a combat nurse in the year of the Tet Offensive.

In this article, we will explore the key aspects of this new order and examine its implications for the future. Continue reading

Invasión: June 20, 2023The insanity will not end!

Biden Celebrates 11 Years of DACA Program: Illegal Aliens ‘Are Americans’
Biden is celebrating the 11th anniversary of former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that has allowed nearly 800,000 illegal aliens to evade arrest and deportation.

In a statement on Thursday, Biden commemorated the program by saying that the millions of illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for DACA “are Americans” despite their not having United States citizenship and flouting federal immigration law.

An illegal alien was reportedly shielded from deportation by former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program before he allegedly killed three retired officers this month… (Continue to full article)

Which “Refugees” Are We Welcoming?
The Welcome Corps, a new program introduced by the Biden administration in January 2023, hands over the control of part of the resettlement process to refugee advocates in the United States (whether private individuals or organizations) and allows them to select their own refugees and future American citizens.

Per U.S. immigration law, resettled refugees are required to apply for a green card one year after arrival and can apply for citizenship four years later (not five, as the five-year count for refugees starts on the day of arrival)…. (Continue to full article)

Biden hides the truth at the border — he’s letting in thousands
Illegal border crossings are down from the eye-watering levels during the rush before the end of Title 42.

Some House Democrats visited the border last week and called it “much improved.”

President Biden responded to a reporter’s question about the border a couple weeks ago saying it was “much better than you all expected.”

So the border crisis is over, right?… (Continue to full article)

AMLO and Biden: Agents of Immigration Chaos
As Biden’s initiative played out over months, President Lopez Obrador, for once, issued no protest, apparently as oblivious as his American counterpart to the looming unintended consequences.

Blinded by his own open-border ideology, the stubborn AMLO seems never to have analyzed the impact of Washington’s unilateral migrant policies on Mexico’s national sovereignty. Much more subtle than previous Yanqui strong-arm tactics, President Biden was nevertheless blithely unleashing powerful outside forces that would trample Mexico…. (Continue to full article)

The Other Half of Our Immigration Crisis
Visa abuse, which begins as legal entry, doesn’t get nearly as much attention as illegal border crossings

Foreigners can arrive here on tourist visas and then legally adjust their visa status if they marry an American. It’s also legal for foreign “tourists” to come here and interview for jobs. If they find one, their employer can file an adjustment-of-visa-status request for them.

The bottom line is that the U.S. is likely the only Western country where one can arrive as a tourist and never go home—all legally… (Continue to full article)

Something’s Screwy with Immigration Court Border Cases
The immigration courts are a component of the Department of Justice (DOJ), and a review of DOJ statistics on decision filing rates in border asylum cases reveals that something screwy is going on — asylum grants are down, but so are asylum denials, while the percentage of “other” determinations are way up. What gives?

“Asylum Decision and Filing Rates in Cases Originating with a Credible Fear Claim”. The statistics, issued by DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) — the agency that oversees the immigration courts and the appellate Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) — are formally captioned “Asylum Decision and Filing Rates in Cases Originating with a Credible Fear Claim” (see a screenshot from the pdf file at the end of this post, from item 10 here). The title requires some brief explanation

Both Border Patrol apprehensions of illegal entrants and aliens deemed inadmissible by CBP officers at the ports of entry are referred to as “encounters”, and when CBP encounters either an illegal entrant or an alien who has presented fraudulent admission documents or no admission documents at all, it has a choice… (Continue to full article)
