Category Archives: Mr. Smith Takes on Washington

Justin O. Smith has lived in Tennessee off and on most of his adult life, and graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 1980, with a B.S. and a double major in International Relations and Cultural Geography – minors in Military Science and English, for what its worth. His real education started from that point on. Smith is a frequent contributor to the family of Kettle Moraine Publications – including Metropolis.Cafe

Handle Hard Better: A Good Life Doesn’t Come Easy

I never thought I’d see the day when police officers would be forced to do nothing, while “youths”, [young?] black thugs from 15 to 55, and older, rip through stores taking whatever they want without laying the first nickel on the counter in payment. So much for “the rule of law” in America. So much for “work ethic” these days too, since it has been condemned as a mythological beast that may have once existed in a far away land that seems to have died a slow death at the hands of the Takers, the Marxist-Maoist Commies who tout the wonders of “Free Stuff“, courtesy of Uncle Sam.

Sure. Life in the real world often isn’t fun for any of us. Many live a plain, no-frills life, in basic, cramped, meager conditions. But at least it’s real and it’s ours, complain as we will, not some delusional, fantastical utopian wonderland where death and destruction are the rule, once the curtains fall away.

And for whatever effort they put forth, the Takers greatest efforts seen in their nihilistic destruction of all around them, simply because they don’t have the same quality of goods, a large bank account and nice things that more driven, capable people have acquired for themselves. They tread water working menial jobs; they listen to songs created by others, while they create nothing, and they indulge in drugs and alcohol to alter their minds and make their meaningless lives more tolerable. ~ J.O.S.

Smith: Make the Bastards Pay

The more things change the more they stay the same, and so, here we are some 40 years after Reagan’s amnesty for illegals, which he granted against his better judgement, and facing an illegal alien invasion a hundredfold worse than anything ever seen before in U.S. history. Who could have ever imagined that a nation so powerful as America would have any qualms over securing their border or that Her people would so willingly follow corrupt leaders towards national suicide.

This flood of invaders benefits no one more than the drug cartels, who are raking in a billion dollars a month, through drug profits their mules send back from the states and the payments they receive guiding the peasants and proles across. Continue reading

Smith: Bullets or Ballots!

“The line between good and evil runs across every human heart.” ~ Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, ‘The Gulag Archipelago

The corrupt and evil, immoral Americans within our society have greatly soiled and damaged our society, by regularly being successful in re-electing, honestly or otherwise, their own ilk to high offices across the land, who regularly lie, cheat and violate the law and the Constitution in order to protect one another and grow their power, thus their own oft ill-gotten gain.

Just look at Biden as he continues to brazenly forgive billions of dollars in student loans, thus favoring one group of citizens over another. People who went into debt are being rewarded for bad behavior, and their debt is being passed on to good, decent hardworking people, many who couldn’t afford to go to college, thus penalizing them.

The problem lies within the hearts and minds of too large a percentage of the American people, those who have rejected God and a righteous way of life. And just wait to see the shit show that follows, once the dregs of the world who are currently invading our country set up shop and gain a “legal path to citizenship and the right to vote”.

Oh yes, my friends. America’s troubles are just starting… Continue reading

Smith: Standing in the Ruins

I know a strong economy is important to people, but it has been placed in such a primary position for so many decades, that it seems the American people are willing to forgive almost any violation of our rights, just as long as any particular administration is delivering a “good economy”. But when they prop up corporations with government subsidies and throw trillions of stimulus dollars into the economy, ultimately it isn’t a good economy, despite short term appearances, and it results in a debilitating effect on all individuals’ finances, which also ultimately has a marked effect on their individual liberty. Continue reading

Smith: Racism From a Child’s Perspective

I remember drinking from a water fountain in 1964 in a bus station in Columbia, South Carolina with a sign above it that read “Colored Water”. We had just arrived and were waiting to be met by my father who had gone ahead of us to prepare a place to live, as he had been sent to Ft. Jackson to train troops.

When I first read it, I thought, “I wonder what color it is?” Continue reading

Smith: Two Pit Vipers and a Weasel Walk into a Bar…

Senator Ron Johnson recently noted that trying to seal and secure the Southern Border with the Biden regime is like negotiating with arsonists to put out the fire they had started.

For all those patriotic Americans who still want to try to work in peaceful opposition to these Democratic Party Communists, they need to push for Congress to pass H.R.2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023. This act, which passed through the House, closes loopholes in the law and policy to make it harder for any future presidents to open our borders and cause another catastrophe such as Biden has created on our Southern Border. It imposes strict limits to asylum, builds the border wall, codifies Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy, and has accountability mechanisms in place to make certain the law is enforced.

I wish I still had as much faith as I used to have in the American people and the mechanisms that used to ensure the peaceful resolution of our differences and the peaceful transfer of power. But we face a far different animal today in this Marxist-Maoist movement that has practically torn the heart from the country, and while many will disagree with me, I cannot shake the nagging inkling that we’re far past the point where the press box, the ballot box or the jury box will correct America’s course.

Break open the ammo box and prepare for what’s to come. ~ J.O.S.

Smith: If Only January 6th Had Been a Real Insurrection ~ Maybe Next Time

Are we still living in America?

The anniversary of the January 6th 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol Building has come and gone, but the memory of that infamous day that culminated in the murder of Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force Veteran, remains indelibly burned in my mind as it continues to weigh on my heart and made me look anew at the country of my birth. This is the day one might say that America truly died, even as the repercussions and shockwaves from that day continue to echo across America, a nation still under assault from the country’s Democratic Party Communists and the Biden regime. Continue reading

Smith: The REAL Life and Death Struggle for America

From the looks of things ~ We’ll be fighting this fight to our dying days!

If the whole damned system were to collapse today, it might just end up being the best thing that ever happened to this nation. It would force everyone to take a hard look at the reality of the stupid ideology they were so enthralled with, that is, for those who survive America’s fall and the incredibly bloody violence sure to follow.

This would open the door for real Americans to rebuild the country exactly as was originally intended – as a people, a country and a nation that loves family, community, God and freedom and liberty. Any new system from the ashes of this chaos would most assuredly need fail-safe measures designed to squash budding tyrants before they can grow, allowing for nothing other than the powers first enumerated in the original Constitution and the absolute defense and protection of each of our Inalienable God-given Rights, and without any salaries for those who wish to “lead”. Place the real power back in the hands of the real Americans and those with the ability and capabilities to produce and get things done. Continue reading

Smith: 2024 ~ America’s Horrific Dystopian Society

I was pondering my children’s and grandchildren’s futures in America today, as I considered what I wanted to write, and this was the result. They don’t have a future so long as so many people remain so ignorant in the country and demand every want and need for their existence to be met by the government, as if someone doesn’t actually have to pay for all of it – Yes AOC – taxpayers are real live people with their own bills to pay.

We have a problem with our people on the whole, because years of indoctrination and communist propaganda couched in the niceties of “for the good of the people” and “social justice” have done their damage and set the stage for the final downfall of America and the complete collapse of our system. Continue reading

Smith: Biden’s Lawless Border Policy IS Treason Against America

Everybody can see what Joe Biden is doing on the border is outrageous and illegal, and yet, no one is stopping him for a lack of supposed “authority” or just a lack of will and sheer damned laziness. Some are fine with his treason, while others are waiting for a “peaceful transfer of power” through the 2024 election, which I suspect will be anything but “peaceful”.

You and I shouldn’t have to be writing numerous warnings each week on the border crisis, but we do, because a significant portion of our current class of citizens seems to welcome the conquest and their submission to foreigners with little in common with them; the rest keep telling themselves, “It’s okay to wait a little while longer to see if conservatives will win the 2024 election.” Continue reading

Smith: Americans Have Reason Enough to Revolt ~ Time to Clean America’s House Again

“Freedom is a light for which many men have died in darkness” ~ author unknown, engraved on the side of the Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier

Our federal government and its institutions currently rest in the hands of anti-American communists and radicals, intent on destroying traditional America and transforming Her into something unrecognizable, foreign and vile, where U.S. citizens are no longer free to do anything other than obey. It’s a government that has been waging war against its citizens since day one, as it ruins America’s energy infrastructure and economy and destroys any semblance of border security, acting illegally every step of the way as if the Biden regime doesn’t have to abide by the will of the people.

But just where is the will of the American people? Why have they tolerated this miasmatic bullshit for so long, with so little outcry or outrage? They could take a lesson or two from the Irish it seems. Continue reading

Smith: America’s Fate Is In OUR Hands

If we are supposed to be the shepherds and owners of our government, we must reject entirely any push by these tyrants who manage to insert themselves into high offices to abrogate our inalienable God-given rights, such as those enumerated in The Bill of Rights.

Government, any government, can only exist and survive if ‘We the People” accept and allow it, under honest circumstances. But given what has arisen in our election system of late, we cannot go on and we must not go on, until such time, and only if, our election system is repaired to a point where honest and free elections can be guaranteed. That has most usually always been the case. Continue reading

Smith: The Continued Invasion of America Subverts Our Society

Illegal Aliens Demand “the Right” to Invade America

America’s borders are being breached and the country invaded by hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens each month, which constitutes an attack on our country, especially when one sees all the cross-border violence engaged in by the drug cartels that has left much of the U.S. Southern Border beyond the control of the U.S. government. And it is the direct result of an intentional policy employed by the Biden regime and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, traitor to America, that has utilized law enforcement personnel and National Guardsmen to facilitate the processing and release of these illegal aliens into the country rather than stop them from crossing over, and as such, Joe Biden and all those who do his bidding in this matter have violated U.S. immigration law and committed a criminal act on such a grand scale that it is tantamount to treason.

Smith: Farewell to “E Pluribus Unum

Years later and here we are … still having to fight our government to get them to do the right thing and seal and secure our borders.

                                                             So Long E. P. UNUM – It’s been a Swell Ride!

Illegal immigration is sounding the death knell for our nation, but legal immigration has been just as destructive to our societal fiber. Legal or illegal, it’s just a fact that a majority of immigrants haven’t completely assimilated, or even wanted to assimilate and integrate into society. They are perfectly happy operating on the edges of society, within their own circles of influence and whatever microcosm has sprung up around their culture and their brethren. Continue reading

Smith: America’s Political Earthquake Looms Over the Horizon

…and Patriotic Americans Must Answer a Call to Duty

The HELL with this damned U.S. government – this pure spectacle of a near totalitarian Leviathan – and God save America, this amazing and beautiful land so many of us love so well.

I love America more than anything in the world, next to my family and my liberty, but only in the sense of Her physical and geographical beauty and what She has been in the past, what I know She can be again. There’s much to love about America of old and the virtues and principles that guided good and decent men and women to declare their independence and bring Her into being, shaping a national character based on freedom and liberty for all, that was in fact exceptional and heads above anything ever before seen across the globe, in the entire history of all mankind. But those good people’s legacy has been soiled and disgraced over the past century by men and women who have embraced evil, death and tyranny over the Inalienable God-given Rights early Americans understood belonged to everyone, no matter the times. 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.

Smith: A Quarter to Midnight in America

‘‘So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death . . .’’

Everything we are witnessing today is a denial of our Natural Rights, Freedom and Liberty and spiritual realities. What is left to us is this naked, immoral society that now holds itself up as the arbiter of what can and can’t be allowed in the public forum and the halls of government, as if government and its men do in fact grant us our rights, such privileges as they see fit. The Leviathan is held before us as our new “god” invested with all the powers it has stolen from our Christian religion, as Christianity is torn asunder and the people are left with a void wanting to be filled. The twentieth century saw “separation of Church and State” as a great triumph, but what a miserable failure of intellect and a great defeat for Americans it has been. Continue reading

Smith: Now I Have War On My Mind…

America has entered some of the darkest and most dangerous times most of us have ever witnessed within our own lifetimes. Warnings are cried out from our people, those sane patriots among us, but everything seems to be broken, as we are led by monsters intent on destroying anything worth holding and guarding tightly, especially the freedoms and liberties of our people.

I am in the autumn of my life, at almost 67 years of age, and I have seen this big, wide and wonderful country of ours from one mountain range to another and sea to shining sea. From my earliest years, I have born witness to a nation whose people were so much more free than they are today, where racism was actually becoming less of “a thing” and we lived in a period where our people really wanted to help one another, to live and let live and enjoy life as it came. It was a time when our society still had a good bit of its moral backbone in place, and our people still recognized right from wrong and good from evil. Continue reading

Smith: Americans Will Have to Fight to Remain Free

Mr. Smith… from another time!

It’s hard to have faith in any one person to make the necessary changes to save America, after he or she takes the Oval Office. It’s getting even harder to have faith in the American people, who seem to only have sense enough to open their mouths to eat or beg the government for some more “free stuff”, as we see them choose so badly in one election cycle after another.

The other side of the coin remains a fascist economic system that holds an inordinate amount of influence and power over our Congress and essentially protects the wealthy corporatists today rather than serve all Americans and their interest in the greatest level of freedom and liberty that ensures a high degree of prosperity.

As noted by Albert Schweitzer, doctor, explorer and a man who wanted to save the world… Continue reading

Smith: At What Cost to Freedom and Liberty

Mourning for America… continued

Americans currently are in bad humor over the current state of our economy, driven by the fiction of “Bidenomics”, despite being constantly told how rosy and wonderful their finances surely must be now by the Biden regime communists seeking the perpetuation of their power and self-serving agenda. Our distemper arises from an intuition of being herded towards a sort of “happiness” that isn’t really happiness at all, as the Marxist-Maoists run a perpetually confidence game on all America, 24 hours a day and seven days a week at every level and in every nook and cranny of the economy and society, in a manner that may soon have us all mourning for America.
