As a Judge, I have Never Witnessed Such an Abuse of Judicial Authority

In my 57 years practicing law, 12 of them as a Judge, I have never witnessed such an abuse of judicial authority as is being imposed by Judge Juan Merchan. He is replacing competence and impartiality with incompetence and prejudice. As a result, he is dragging the entire New York State judicial system in the cluttered gutter of partisan politics.

With all due respect, I urge the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct to consider admonishing Judge Marchan and also consider removal from the Bench.

Roberts: The Death of Truth Is at Hand

Day by day it is becoming more difficult and more risky to provide information that differs from the official narratives. Websites are finding that payment mechanisms, such as PayPal and Stripe, and banks refuse to process donations to their sites. Others, such as Vdare are being driven into bankruptcy by quota hire NY prosecutors. Alex Jones’ operation is again under assault. Tucker Carlson was driven from Fox News. Google increasingly hides unwelcome information.

And now we witness a former US Marine, intelligence officer, and UN weapons inspector pulled off an international flight and his passport stolen by police “on orders by the US Department of State.” Scott Ritter was on his way to Russia to speak at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

The “OTHER” Hearing That Was BIGGER Than Fauci or Garland

Despite the absurd theatrics in Congress this week during the Tony Fauci and Merrick Garland hearings, there was actually another hearing that may have been even more important. It was about Social Security – probably the most obvious ticking time bomb that absolutely no one is doing anything about.]

This entire week has been full of eye-rolling – borderline eye-gouging – cowardice and deceit in the halls of Congress. Continue reading

Home is where the heart is…

I’ll see all of you boys again one day – at Sunset.

Thinking Globally, Acting Locally: How Sustainable Rule Took Over Your City

Solar and wind farms to eliminate gas and oil; 15 Minute Cities; eliminating single-family homes; eliminating gas-powered cars; stop eating beef; no more warm water showers; ban ice cubes and electric stoves; Sustainable! How did these radical ideas become official policies in our once great American cities, now on the verge of collapse? Here’s the story.

San Francisco is the birthplace of the United Nations. On June 5th, 2005, it was also the location for a major effort by the UN to circumvent national and state governments in order to reorganize human society. Coincidentally, the date was also World Environment Day. This time the UN was targeting mayors from all over the world to enlist them to be soldiers in the Sustainable war.

Like a scene from Michael Crichton’s landmark novel State of Fear, all the usual suspects, our self-appointed saviors, were there. There were UN bureaucrats seeking to increase their power and influence, NGOs with their private agendas, Hollywood celebrities acting like authorities on how Americans should rightly live, leaders of corporations seeking to help devise global regulations to kill their competition, and representatives from national and local news outlets that long ago had lost any pretense of delivering unbiased news.

Freedom is NO MORE!

In the 1990s and 2000s, I predicted that yesterday would arrive. I was scoffed at, called crazy, and told “that would never happen.”

And here we are.

I’ve spent since before I graduated High School, fighting Marxism. In the 1990s, I knew exactly what I was looking at in education reform, ie, education transformation, bringing Marxist indoctrination to every school, in every state, in the United States.

And because I knew, in 1999/2000, I was prosecuted in the same manner as President Trump. But I did not quit, I did not give up. Continue reading

Smith: Down the Path of Past Banana Republics

   The Country Has Gone Bananas. https://grrrgraphics.com

As odd as it seems for me to be forced to defend Donald Trump, this is one of those paradoxical times that demands it of me, given the egregious means used by the Democrats to subvert the rule of law and achieve their guilty verdict against Trump.

This isn’t so much about Trump as it is about what we all will face should this lawfare not be met, countered and put to an end, so that everyone will one day receive equal treatment from our legal system, regardless of who they are and what they believe and hold to be true. Continue reading

President Ford and his Viet Nam PROBLEM CHILD

In 1975, President Ford was left to manage the difficult ending of the Vietnam War.

President Ford went to Congress for a relief package to allow American personnel and our allies to evacuate. However, there was ONE US SENATOR who opposed any such support. The result was the embarrassing and hurried evacuation from the roof of the American embassy in Saigon.

This senator reveled in the embarrassment and did everything he could to leverage it politically against Ford. Despite the efforts of this U.S. Senator – President Ford managed to rescue 1,500 South Vietnamese allies prior to the country’s fall.

Had President Ford not acted quickly, these people would have been targeted and slaughtered for their support for America. Continue reading

Bennett ~ Before I Sleep

        Dr. Tom Dooley

The following is edited from a column that I wrote over 20 years ago, and although much has changed in those years – much has remained the same. Although I had re-posted the original column in July of 2023 – it is the early part of said column that has now come back to haunt me – due in part to a number of columns relating to Agent Orange that I have recently published.

Can ya’ dig it? I can’t, but my fight will not cease.

Oh – and in case you are wondering about the title of this column? It was taken from a book about Dr. Tom Dooley that was written by James Monahan. Tom Dooley??? – Well just who in the hell was he?  Thomas A. Dooley M.D. was an American physician who worked in Southeast Asia at the outset of American involvement in the Vietnam War. I became aware of the Dr., his work AND his books in 1961 – the year that he died at the age of 34. As time went on – it would appear that we had a few things in common. ~ Editor

Dickens: The Punchbowl & the Turd, Therein…

Here’s an interesting idiomatic argot to begin this commentary, but that’s what I do; isn’t it…

This metaphoric title is powered by a particularly vivid contrast: “the inviting sensory appeal of a festive beverage juxtaposed with the revolting suggestion of feculent contagion.”

Or…

Someone or something that spoils, ruins, or needlessly complicates a situation or circumstance; a disagreeable nuisance or source of irritation.” Continue reading

Benson: Kangaroo Courts and Show Trials Are Nothing Unusual in Amerika

Comrade Stalin is reported to have said once “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” In other words, show me the man we want arraigned and I’ll show you the crime we will concoct to fit his Personna.

This kind of thing goes all the way back to the Lincoln assassination trial, when the Lincoln conspirators – so called – were put on trial and convicted on the basis of much concocted “evidence” a lot of which had nothing whatever to do with the crime at hand. But that made no difference. They were there to be convicted, not to receive an honest trial. Continue reading

Exposed to Agent Orange at US Bases, Veterans Face Cancer Without VA Compensation

For me – two months at Ft. Ord in 1966 then off to Germany for 2 years – then on to ‘Nam for twenty one months – volunteering to fly in a Huey picking up wounded human beings – from both sides of the war – and do you think that I was not affected? And yet – throughout life – Orange had always been my favorite color… ~ J. Bennett, Editor

A chemical in Agent Orange is a known carcinogen linked to several cancers, chronic conditions and birth defects.

A soldier participates in the Norwegian Foot March at Fort Ord National Monument, in Monterey County, California, Oct. 28, 2022. Mounting evidence shows that to kill pervasive poison oak and other weeds at Fort Ord — a former Army base, which closed in 1994 — the military sprayed and experimented with the powerful herbicide combination Agent Orange as far back as the 1950s. (WINIFRED BROWN/U.S. ARMY)

As a young GI at Fort Ord in Monterey County, California, Dean Osborn spent much of his time in the oceanside woodlands, training on soil and guzzling water from streams and aquifers now known to be contaminated with cancer-causing pollutants.

“They were marching the snot out of us,” he said, recalling his year and a half stationed on the base, from 1979 to 1980. He also remembers, not so fondly, the poison oak pervasive across the 28,000-acre installation that closed in 1994. He went on sick call at least three times because of the overwhelmingly itchy rash.

Mounting evidence shows that as far back as the 1950s, in an effort to kill the ubiquitous poison oak and other weeds at the Army base, the military experimented with and sprayed the powerful herbicide combination known colloquially as Agent Orange. Continue reading

Smith: America has a bad case of the Dumbass!

…or is that we are just tired of all of the Bullsh*t? ~ Justin O. Smith

There’s so much to say right now, but much of it is beating a dead horse and repeating a lot of what I’ve already discussed in ad nauseam through the years.

I’ve had a few grains formulating here and there, but nothing the greater population will want to hear. So many are eat up with a bad case of the dumbass, and it’s enough to make a man want to vomit up his Cheerios. Continue reading

Bennett: 32¢ on the Dollar and Getting Screwed Faaaaaast!

April 21, 2009 – You spend your entire adult life living life the right way. You buy a car on ‘time’, you pay your debt. You get retail store credit cards, such as JC Penney, Sears, Best Buy, etc – you pay your bills on time or before they are due.

You purchase your first home in 1972, another in the Spring of ’76, sell it and buy another in the Fall of the same year. In ’79 your daughter is born, you pay the bill to the hospital because you have no insurance and you buy another house, and then another in ’80 and ’85, move to the Valley of the Scum in ’’90 and buy another house, and another in 2003, sell it in 21 months and make a killing, and buy another in 2005.
