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

Smith: East Palestine – America’s Chernobyl

…DON’T want to be!

The East Palestine train derailment is a real clusterfuck, one hundred percent and seven ways from Sunday, and the nation will see severe repercussions from this event for decades to come, unless I miss my bet.

It’s unfathomable that they didn’t immediately evacuate the entire town as soon as the containers were known to be leaking, given the hazardous nature of what was contained in several of the tanks. The manifest was readily known to railroad and government officials, which makes it unconscionable that they didn’t do more, that they were incapable of doing more due to their own miserable lack of talent and knowledge in their chosen professions, or for more designing reasons. ~ J.O.S.

Smith: He’s Crossed the Green Mountain…

Murder and Heartbreak in Tennessee

Mark “Markus” McCord, Jr. was only twenty-one…

He and my first granddaughter, Katlyn, had big plans for a future together.

Markus was murdered yesterday, at approximately 1:15 p.m. by four gang-bangers, ending his life, all his dreams and his life’s journey and all the potential he showed in his daily life, all the possibilities and the wonderful things we all knew he was capable of accomplishing. Continue reading

Smith: America’s Serious Trouble on the Southern Border

It doesn’t matter that many illegal aliens are good and decent people, when they are breaking the U.S. law and jumping in front of millions of others, who are attempting to come to America legally, because so many thousands more are committing well documented rapes, assaults, robberies and murders by the thousand each year, at a rate that has grown exponentially with the Biden regime’s immediate reversal of President Trump’s effective border policy.

To hear Joe Biden tout his actions on the border during the recent State of the Union address was sickening, dishonest and evil to the core, as he attempted to convince the American people that an extremely out-of-control and serious problem didn’t exist on the Southern border, a problem of his making that continues to be facilitated by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Smith: America’s Cracked Republic

As we look at all before us in D.C. and all the State Governments, it becomes apparent that the only thing of any real substance we have left are the Founding Documents – so little of which is now adhered to – that rightfully inform us all of our Inalienable God-given Rights. Our core institutions maintain the structure of our government, but traitors and our enemies from within have hamstrung them and turned them to ends they were never meant to pursue, killing their guardianship of all America and turning them into warrooms for those who hate America – turning them into propaganda centers where freedom and liberty are paid lip-service and the speeches are nothing more than performance art.

Smith: Dangerous Days for Freedom and Liberty

Everywhere I’ve looked of late, the news reads like a Who’s Who in a long list of tyrants who want to impose some new insane, nonsensical idea that harms the average American but enriches them and their cronies and grows their power in some way. This is a level of corruption that surpasses even the massive corruption seen in the FDR and Obama administrations, and it begs the question: Just how much more will conservative, Christian and independent American patriots sit still and watch a continuation of more of the same.

I’m not so much disheartened as I am angry and disgusted. I’m going to be happy, even if tyranny eventually reigns supreme everywhere we look – it may not be easy, but I refuse to let tyrants dictate the terms of my life; so, should the worst come to pass, they will call me “outlaw”. Push comes to shove, I’ll be the Amerikkan Commies worst nightmare and I won’t lose a wink of sleep over any I may eventually send home to their Maker. Continue reading

Smith: We Will See the End of America

Lock and Load – FIRE at Will!

It is plumb damned outrageous to me that the American people aren’t on the steps of the White House and the Capitol Building demanding that they immediately close down the border and start shipping all 30 to 40 million illegal aliens out of the country.

At this current rate of invasion, people need not complain when America is completely driven under and looks like a Third World Banana Republic. Their silence and complete inaction on this issue makes me believe that by and large, they just don’t care, or they’re fine with seeing the nation overrun by the barbarians.

Yes. Angry and disgusted are the only adjectives to describe how I feel whenever I bring myself to assess the situation. I’m plumb damned sick to my stomach and sad for the next generations that will have to suffer the full and final consequences of this despicable, reprehensible lawlessness and treasonous powerplay by the new amerikkan communists sitting in the White House and Congress. ~ J.O.S.

Smith: Destroying America In the Name of the “Sexual Revolution

The more things change the more they remain the same. And even tho’ the queer community has been with us since the earliest days of man, never before has it exerted such undue influence or held so much power over a majority of a society, as it now holds over American society. And anyone who sees this development and isn’t horrified by what is becoming commonplace by leaps and bounds in our country has something seriously wrong with their own minds.

The Queer America Movement is so far past “marriage rights” and ending discrimination now, that they have reversed the dynamics to exert their new found power in regular displays of discrimination against conservatives and Christians, just as we saw with the Christian baker in Colorado, and now the website designer in that same state. These sick bastards aren’t content with true “equality under the law”. They seek extra, non-existent rights only for their select group above all other Americans and validation of their lifestyle through the force of law and the full weight of the federal government.

It’s hard to believe that America has allowed this to get so out of hand (job) and out of control. It really does make one pray to awaken one day to the sight of salt pillars scattered across the countryside. ~ J.O.S.

Smith: A Dark Evil Rests In The Heart of America Today

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.

Smith: The Law Means Nothing to the Lawless

~ Forward ~
Men of conscience must prepare to do what must be done to save America, by the bullet if necessary, ’cause the Constitution isn’t a suicide pact. And just as our Declaration of Independence was a call to action and a call to fight to the death to preserve our freedom and liberty — to live free or die — in our country’s first days, so too does it serve in spirit and the letter of righteous law as a guide that demands America’s good men and women answer that same call today.

Only the tyrants have changed. – J.O.S.

“… I was cautioned to surrender, this I could not do; I took my gun and vanished. … Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing, through the graves the wind is blowing, freedom soon will come.” ~ The Partisan

Smith: The Nightmare Will Never Be Forgotten

~ Forward ~
There are reams of all manner of information pertaining to Islam and the nature of its ideology that address it from many perspectives, but from my own many long years of research, I have found nothing of any social redeeming value within it. It has never gone through any reformation process and holistically it stands pretty much as it did at the split between Sunni and Shia Islam in the 12th century, still as deadly, backwards and vile and evil as ever.

And it’s especially maddening to hear so many so-called “experts” and scholars attempt to differentiate between “moderate” and “radical” Muslims. Even Islamic theologians laugh at he idea, because they know that the Sura, Hadith and Koran broker no such nonsense and demand complete submission and obedience to the commands of Mohammed and Allah. They understand the abrogation clause in the Hadith that give Mohammed’s last words more authority than his first, and they accept and demand that Islam be held supreme above all other religions, above all the world’s governments.

Smith: …a follow up!

NOTE: What I have chosen to publish below was originally left by the writer and author of his most recent column on the Federal Observer. ~ Editor

This isn’t an endorsement of President Donald J. Trump for president in 2024, because I believe he made several egregious mistakes that greatly harmed America in the long run, whether we speak of his own massive spending policies, the USMCA, his bumpstock ban, and most of all his going along with the Lockdowns and placing the reins of government in the hands of Dr Deborah Birx and Dr Anthony Fauci who were acting as agents of the globalists and American communists.

Smith: Biden’s Politically Motivated Hit Job at Mar-a-Largo

For someone who said he’d unify the nation, he sure has done the exact opposite through his regime’s continuous attacks against conservative and traditional America. He and his minions simply cannot hide their contempt and disgust for the principles of freedom and liberty and those Americans who hold them so dear. And as he now places both of his regime’s hands on the scales of justice to favor his apparatchiks and political cronies, he now has a great percentage of America viewing the justice system with disdain and a disgust of our own, since nothing or no one in this current government can be trusted to do what’s right for all Americans.

These are troubled days and dangerous time indeed. ~ J.O.S.

Smith: They Stood In The Gap, Fiercely Determined to Live Free

~ Foreword ~
The American society is gong crazy these days and the simplest and most innocent things are being twisted and manipulated to represent something supposedly evil. Only a true fool, a gibbering, blubbering idiot, could ever see the Betsy Ross Flag as something malevolent and to be considered a sign of extremism. This flag as well as the Gadsen Flag was a part of my best childhood years and they were always representative of true freedom and liberty in my young eyes. They still are today.

It all simply returns to the fact that just as a man cannot serve two masters, neither can a nation serve two ideologies, so different each one in its own right and diametrically opposed to the other as they strive for dominance. Only one can survive in the end. Only one must survive in the end, that one being the one followed by those who reject Big Government and love their own independence and truth, life, freedom and individual liberty more than Obama phones and other “Free Stuff” and government handouts.

I hope this is of some interest to many. Ruby Ridge and the Finicum murder have long been a sire spot for me. Perhaps in this context, it will be seen in a new light through new eyes and resonate with many of our fellow Americans. ~ J.O.S.

Smith: Biden Policies Invite a Chinese Communist Attack On Taiwan

Many Americans may not be too concerned with what happens around the globe, because so many people take an overly simplistic view of international relations. What happens in Taiwan will in fact have an effect on all of us here in America and many people elsewhere in the world, in a litany of unexpected developments and consequences.

Instead of showing a strong, united front and a determined resolve in backing Speaker Pelosi’s Taiwan visit and sending a clear message the the U.S. government and the American people will not tolerate any intimidation or assault against any American by the Chinese leaders and the CCP, Biden and his own little band of good feckless commies are choosing to go the Chamberlain path of appeasement, forgetting all the lessons of history that exhibits this never ends well for those being assaulted. His regime’s weakness is enabling Xi and an belligerent Communist China to destroy Taiwan’s sovereignty and replace America has the top super-power in the world. Continue reading

Smith: Fight for Your American Dreams and Freedom

Each of the issues I discuss may already be known to some or many, but my overall point is that these are merely symptoms manifested by a problem that is so much larger than them all, which is the fact our government is in a communist stranglehold that no one has yet seemed to know how to completely break. But if some within Corporate America can find the strength and the spine, they should resist and refuse to comply with any Biden executive order that goes against our Inalienable God-given Rights, especially when our conscience and desired path does no harm.

Good Americans are reluctant to resort to the same level of forceful, or violent, protest as the Far Left of the country, but they damned sure better start speaking up a damned sight more forcefully than they have to date, if they ever want to fully repel the ever more advancing and encroaching tyranny that has blackened America’s landscape and domestic halls from D.C to the flyover country from South Carolina to Tennessee and on to South Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas and Idaho and many other fine parts of the nation where our individual Liberty is cherished and loved.

Smith: Find the Courage to Save America…

I have great memories of this majestic country of ours, and I’ve traveled most of it, meeting the best and the worst people one could ever imagine. With all its beauty and all its ugliness, it’s still the best country on the planet in my humble opinion. And it so sorely hurts my heart to see Her put upon and attacked by people who only desire to destroy Her and remake Her into something unrecognizable, evil and vile in their quest for global power.

Smith ~ America: Death By Biden

This is the worse I have seen things in America in my 65 years, and unless the American people soon take things in their own hands and put an end to this administration’s folly, they’ll see America as they have known it all their life come to an end. I’m not suggesting all out rebellion, at least not yet; but some good ol’ fashioned civil disobedience is in order.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if some oil executive and a group of shareholders moved to extract oil offshore against Biden’s current ban and in violation of “federal law”? What if they told Biden, we’re going to do this because we need to make a living and this is our area of expertise? Just exactly what would Biden do, what could he do? Send out the Navy to stop them?

J.O.S.: Big Sister and New and Dark Days for America

~ Foreword ~
The more I think I’ve seen it all the more I’m proved wrong by this tyrannical Biden regime. They know without a doubt that this isn’t constitutional in any way shape or form, but they don’t care. They’re so intent on the fundamental transformation of America that the law means absolutely nothing to them, only that which they can get away with through back door lawless methods and double-dealing trickery.

Biden really is reminiscent of Wilson, who was a deep admirer of the German philosopher, Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Like Wilson, Biden seems to believe all ideas and institutions can be remade at will and each age has its own morality that manifests itself according to its times; that the Constitution must embody that zeitgeist. Biden isn’t that smart, but knowingly or otherwise, perhaps led by his handlers, he is adopting a position that creates a state into which individual will is absorbed and the state and the people become one, for better or worse.

More often than not, it also appears this regime is continuously looking towards China for more tips on how best to control so large a population as ours, and it goes without saying how dangerous this is for all of us.

The Democratic Party and the Biden regime truly are a very real and existential threat to all of America in the here and now. ~ J.O.S.

Smith: America Stands On A Precipice Defending Her Children

~ Foreword ~
Our country is facing so many crises today that those of us with some few years behind us can hardly believe we are still living in America. And everywhere one looks, it’s more than apparent and readily found in available evidence that virtually every damned crisis has formed as a direct result of recent policies and actions taken by this red, radical, Democratic Party Commie rat bastard regime.

It’s certainly not conservatives promoting the Drag Queen Story Hour in public libraries across the nation.

These Commies are using the very same methods and activism that they used to clear a path for homo “marriage”, and they are charging down this new immoral path that is nothing less than the grooming of America’s children, to make them mentally and spiritually weak and susceptible and prone to the advances of America’s perverts, deviants and sexual predators that seem to be standing on every street corner and in every playground, ballpark or any other place children congregate these days.

Smith to Heino: Tit for Tat

Editor’s Note: The following was posted in the Reply section of a recent column written by William Heino Sr. in response a previous column by Justin O. Smith for the Federal Observer. We warrant that the author’s comments were well worth a direct posting of his entire reply. (However, it has also been rumored that William Heino Sr. may in-fact be deceased.) ~ Ed.

Mr William Heino, SR;

The operative phrase in the Second Amendment is “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. The prefatory phrase about militias is an ablative absolute clause giving context for the main clause, and it is illuminating in that function. The Second Amendment does not say it protects the right of state militias to bear arms.

No one thinks that when the First Amendment speaks about the right of the people to petition the government that it means only to protect the rights of lobbyists for state governments. It means individuals. What the Second Amendment is saying is you can’t disarm the people under the pretext of regulating the militia. Continue reading
