Smith: Artificial General Intelligence and the Underground Human ~ Liberty’s Reckoning with the Silicon Leviathan!

Foreword:

This mad rush to make everything connected to the inth degree with Artificial Intelligence – by the powers-that-be and the major countries around the globe – only ensures that the rise of tyranny marches on and keeps growing and hardening.

People need to act now to ensure the future of their families is secure to the greatest possible degree they might manage, in a manner that takes them out of the A.I. loop and lessens its impact upon them, whenever its impact is fully felt and realized in their respective regions.

Aside from the loss of liberty that follows this new technology, it should worry the hell out of folks today over how much of the world’s fresh water resources will evaporate in the support and cooling of these massive A.I. processing centers that cover areas as large as some cities.

While many benefits and some good for humanity is also emerging from the endeavors of this Artificial Intelligence technology, from all my own research and readily available current information, I see this rush to create and make use of an Artificial General Intelligence “Being” a Fool’s Folly and a net negative for all humanity – a soul crushing death sentence. ~ J.O.S.  Continue reading →

The U.S. Must Start Culturally Vetting Prospective Immigrants

When I had a meeting at a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office in Northern Virginia some weeks ago, five FBI agents sat me down and told me that they’re investigating many cases of female genital mutilation (FGM), an abusive cultural practice that is far too common in the U.S.

As I am someone who lives in Minneapolis for most of the year, the agents explained that the city is one of the country’s FGM hotspots, especially because of its Somali population. While much of the country is rightly focused on pervasive Somali fraud in Minnesota, FGM has largely gone under the radar. Yet, FGM is a far more sinister issue. Continue reading →

Johnson: The Dumbing Down of Education Through Technology

Unless we become Amish, (which is probably a healthier lifestyle), the mastery of technology is essential for success in the 21st century and should be taught in schools. But this guest opinion is going to cover three areas where the use or overuse of technology is not beneficial to students and can be dangerous.

1. Over use of technology can dumb down education, increasing illiteracy and decreasing intelligent thought and brain capacity.

2. Technology can be used to psychologically control and manipulate students.

3. Recent tragedies have shown that AI has encouraged vulnerable youth to kill or commit suicide.

Technology in the classroom has evolved from calculators and spell check to every student with a laptop computer and smart phone, to Large Language Models (LLM’s) like ChatGPT and Grok. Will the final destination be human brain chip computer interfaces like Elon Musk’s Neuralink or Sam Altman’s venture Merge Labs? Continue reading →

Hickman: Two Weeks to Stop the Spread of War

L.M. Slackens: The Yellow Press, showing William Randolph Hearst as a jester handing out newspapers, published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, October 12, 1910 ~ Library of Congress

On August 15, 1945, after two of their cities had been obliterated by the world’s first nuclear weapons, the people of Japan heard the voice of their young Emperor for the first time ever.

Hirohito went on what was a relatively new communications medium at the time – the radio – and gave one of the most bizarre speeches in all of human history, in which he told his subjects that “the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan’s advantage.”

Talk about an understatement. Continue reading →

Bennett: The Way We Were…

…and the way it was!

I grew up in a little town about 25 miles north of Chicago called Northbrook, Ilinois at a time when everyone treated each other with respect. We didn’t eat a lot of fast food. We drank Kool-aid, ate lunch meat sandwiches, PB&J sandwiches, grilled cheese sandwiches, hot dogs, but mostly home made meal such as meatloaf, fried chicken, roast beef & pork chops, black eye peas, snap peas…

We grew up during a time when we would gather glass bottles to take to the store and use the deposit money to buy penny candy. (We even got a brown paper bag to put the candy in). You sure could get a lot for 25 cents. We went outside to play games, rode bikes, jumped rope and raced against sibling played hide and seek, Red Rover, Red light green light, mother may I, kick the can and yes the games got more daring as we grew…There was no bottled water, no microwave or cable tv, no cell phones, no hair straighteners… Continue reading →

Bennett: My history with Stinkin’ Lincoln

Few remember the 1968 Broadway play, ‘HAIR‘. A live performance originally performed at the Biltmore Theatre, 261-5 West 47th St. in New York City. I did not see it in New York, but while on R&R in Tokyo in ’69 (from ‘nam) I stayed at a hotel that was also hosting the Chicago cast for performances in that city. Only one performance was held, due to the nudity on stage. The cast and play were subsequently banned from further performances due to pornography laws. I was privileged to spend several evenings in the bar and restaurant with that cast and made some interesting friends, many of who I would meet up with again when I was released from the Army after my 21 months “in country.” Continue reading →

Marquardt: British Economic Control Over the Globe Is Now Exposed by This President

The City of London has controlled economics and global trade to the detriment of every country, especially America

Based on the above, I recommend to everyone to read Banking 1770 and Onward

As always, most interesting and cogent. Since the ” World Religion” has been in operation for over 300 years, not including the Islamic ” religion”, is it possible that a mis-reading of the tea leaves is possible. – meantime I found this little tidbit, at the bottom of a Graphic noting the ongoing Regionalizing of the American Continent:

As this is just questioning the narrative, anyone for that matter, this is also known, concerning the Banking operations historically. Continue reading →

Finney: Spokane Media Supports Marxist Subversives

Saturday, March 28, 2026, NoKings held another ‘protest’ in Spokane, apparently three months in the making, obviously not spontaneous but planned. Present, it seems, were the gaggle of news outlets representing the various alphabet soup of national news media organizations ABC, CBS, NBC, and undoubtedly cable news outlets connected therewith.

Since early 2025, these news outlets have been doing everything in their power to incite violence against federal law enforcement personnel whose job it is to remove illegal aliens from the United States to keep American citizens and communities safe.

The fact that these news outlets have been instrumental in inciting the violence against federal law enforcement personnel is something they try to cage in terms of “reporting the news”.  Continue reading →

Gibbs: Shifting Baselines of History and Politics

If we are to take it back, it begins with education. We must rediscover what the Constitution truly says and what the founding generation meant by its words;

America has been drifting away from its founding constitutional principles, a decay made possible by the patient, incremental strategy of “shifting baselines.” The enemies of limited government understand that the gradual erosion of liberty is far more effective than a sudden assault. What the Founding Fathers designed as a government of limited, enumerated powers has morphed into a sprawling administrative state with virtually unlimited authority, precisely because each generation accepts the overreach of the previous one as the new normal.

Texas Republican: “We’re losing our culture to Islam!“

Calling on the U.S. to deport 100 million people, a former Texas county GOP chair says Americans have good reason to openly embrace Islamophobia.

The Texas Tribune reports that during a “Don’t Sharia My Texas” panel at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Bo French, a former Tarrant County GOP chair and a current candidate for state railroad commissioner, said something he was sure would make people uncomfortable: Islam is a problem.

“I think there is the sense that we are losing our culture, our American culture, our Christian culture,” he later told American Family Radio. “The president ran on a platform of mass deportations. By estimates, there are roughly 100 million people in the country who probably shouldn’t be here. What we do with those, I don’t know, but certainly mass deporting a good chunk of those would be helpful.” Continue reading →

Smith: Let America Fight For America

It is long past time for the United States of America to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and chart a new course of sovereign alliances rooted in mutual respect, shared Western principles, and an unyielding commitment to liberty. The events unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz in late March 2026 have laid bare what many clear-eyed Americans have suspected for decades: NATO is not an alliance of equals but a one-way protection racket that has drained American blood and treasure while fostering a continent-wide culture of dependency, entitlement, and creeping tyranny.

When President Donald Trump looked the European capitals in the eye — via Truth Social and the bully pulpit of the Oval Office — and declared, “You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself… The U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore,” and followed it with the unvarnished command to “go get your own oil,” he did more than issue a tactical rebuke. He performed the final autopsy on a seventy-seven-year grift that had turned the world’s greatest republic into the unwitting financier of European adolescence. Continue reading →

Garrison ~ Trump’s Disassembly Line: Pam Bondi Gets Fired

President Trump has never had problems firing people – even his friends – and now Pam Bondi is the latest cabinet member to be rolled away on his Disassembly Line.

Trump already fired Jeff Sessions and he should have fired William Barr, but the latter sensed what was coming and resigned first. Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation early on, earning the nickname “Mr. Magoo.”

He frustrated Trump with what many saw as weakness against the Deep State. William Barr defended the president publicly, but did nothing to support him. Later, he wrote a tell-all book claiming Trump was ‘off the rails.” Five others either resigned or were fired during Trump’s first term. Continue reading →

Ross: Raw and Uncensored

It is the 5th of April, 2026, and it is around 1:40 am. I have been laying wide awake in bed for nearly an hour with an idea, a thought, that would not leave me alone; hence the reason I am once again sitting behind this keyboard. Before I get to the thought itself, there is something I need to say.

There is an individual who sometimes responds to my blogposts who has berated me in the past for the manner in which I write; my constant use of the first person singular when I say things. This individual says it sounds like I am making this all about me; that I am saying that I am right, and anyone who disagrees with me is wrong. While this is just a single case of that happening, it does bring up a point; what I am actually doing here… Continue reading →

April 5, 2026: More BS ahead!

Trump Administration Files Emergency Motion to Resume Ballroom Work

Trump Wants Congress to Slash Social Services and Give Him $1.5 Trillion for the Military, but Patty Murray Stands in His Way

In a speech at a private lunch Wednesday billed as a celebration of Easter, President Donald Trump told the White House budget chief he wants the federal government to spend money on the military, not social services like child care and health care, which he said states should pay for by raising taxes.

“We’re fighting wars; we can’t take care of day care,” the president said. “It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare – all these individual things.”

After posting a video of the closed-door event, in which Trump’s spiritual adviser compared him to Jesus Christ, the White House deleted it. But if the administration was sheepish about those funding priorities, it made them explicit Friday by publishing the president’s budget request to Congress for the fiscal year that begins in October.

Sen. Patty Murray, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, has to sign off on the spending bills that require bipartisan support to become law each year. That makes the relatively low-profile Washington lawmaker arguably the most powerful Democrat in the federal government at a time when her party has precious little leverage in the nation’s capital. In a statement Friday, she called the future envisioned by Trump’s budget request “bleak and unacceptable… (Continue to full article)

Trump Tariffs on Pharmaceuticals Could Spike Costs 100% for Common Meds

Despite President Trump’s controversial tariff-launching “Liberation Day” being just over a year old — and with the legality of most of those tariffs stricken down by the Supreme Court — the Trump administration surprised the nation on Liberation Day’s first anniversary by announcing new tariffs on many brand-name drugs manufactured outside of the United States. This is a move that could, in the short term, radically increase the prices of your medication.

Trump’s plan? To levy a 100% tariff on pharmaceutical companies that manufacture drugs in foreign countries, rather than in America. It’s a policy designed to reshape the pharmaceutical industry in the long-term by incentivizing American manufacturing and price concessions, with large drug companies being given 120 days (and smaller companies 180 days) to negotiate the construction of American-based pharmaceutical plants to avoid the tariffs.

Some major pharmaceutical companies — like Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson — have already begun negotiations. Others, however, have yet to make a deal with the administration… (Continue to full article)

No Escape for Trump

There’s a moment in every failed strongman’s story when the noise fades, the flunkies fall silent and slip from the throne room one final time before the shooting starts. There’s a moment where the court jesters stop laughing at the Dear Leader’s every joke, and when reality comes crashing through the gilded walls like a breaching charge. There’s a moment when the loyal bodyguard’s eyes flicker with some new signal, and the dictator wonders if the tools of oppression and brutality will be turned on him.

For Donald Trump, that moment isn’t coming someday.

It’s here.

Nothing will save you now, Donald!!! (Continue to full article)

Trump Says He’s Considering Stopping Federal Medicare, Medicaid and Daycare Funding: ‘It’s Not Possible’

To sell their drugs, pharmaceutical companies hire former cheerleaders and ex- models to wine and dine doctors, exaggerate the drug’s …

Throughout President Donald Trump’s second term, he has made it very clear that he plans to protect Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, but some of his actions have contradicted that promise. This includes the Medicaid cuts outlined in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and his tariffs, which have made it difficult for seniors to feel financially stable. Now, President Trump says he’s considering cutting national funding for Medicare and Medicaid to help fund the war with Iran. We share exactly what he said, and if he’s allowed to make the cuts.

Young punks don’t like driving the same vehicles that their parents drove. This was evident when drivers embraced the minivan as the anti-station wagon in the 1980s and 90s, and again when SUVs rose to prominence in the 2000s in an effort to get away from the uncoolness of minivans. So what’s coming next?… (Continue to full article)

Smith: KICK TRUMP in the BALLS!

Just un-effin’-believable. He’s definitely a damned wrecking ball. Every time he wins me back just a little, he pulls some shit like this that simply makes me want to puke and pushes me miles away from him. I shudder to think of what comes after him, but I’m ready to see him go, not over his execution of the Iran war but over shit like this insane utterance. Continue reading →

Dickens: Accountability & The Law… It’s Time to Demand Changes!

“No one is above the law” is a fundamental democratic principle called the rule of law. It states that everyone, regardless of wealth, power, or status – including presidents and public officials – must be treated equally under the law and be held accountable for their actions. This principle ensures that no one is immune from legal consequences and helps prevent abuses of power.

“No one is above the law” means that every individual, regardless of status, wealth, or power – including government leaders like presidents – is equally subject to the law and must follow it. It highlights that no one can act without consequences or receive special treatment, promoting accountability and equality in a democratic society.

The U.S. Constitution doesn’t explicitly say ‘no one is above the law,’ but it expresses this idea through the rule of law, particularly through the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause and the Supremacy Clause. These parts of the Constitution require that everyone, including government officials, be held responsible under the law. Continue reading →

The Salty Citizen: Clowns to the Left of Me, Jokers to the Right

And here I am, stuck in the middle with you – my fellow salty citizens.

Good news, everybody – Still no kings here in America.

Just a whole lot of clowns… and an alarming number of jokers.

One big, beautiful, tent where BOTH the left and right gather their best freaks and frauds to dazzle and distract us to death.

Protests in the public streets.

Procrastination in the elected seats. I’m looking at you, Congress.

Humph. Just bloody brilliant! Continue reading →

Homeschool Legal Defense Helps Parents go on Offense in Connecticut

Far from being ignored anymore, the home-schooling movement is coming under Big Brother-like scrutiny that goes way beyond filing annual paperwork to a social worker’s knock on the door.

Ralph Rodriguez, an attorney at Home School Legal Defense, told “Washington Watch” he was being interviewed on the program just hours after helping homeschooling families in Connecticut fight a bill that would allow the Department of Children and Families, or DCF, to investigate families for child abuse.

The homeschooling bill, House Bill 5468, which passed out of the Education Committee 26-20 this week, represents “the most significant shift in homeschool policy in the country,” the HSLDA attorney insisted.

That’s because homeschooling families, who are already disliked and mistrusted by critics, would be an immediate target of DCF because the bill mandates the public school district must contact DCF if a student withdraws from public school for homeschooling. Continue reading →

Boston Moves The Education Goalposts Then Celebrates Cheating The Students

Participation awards aren’t even good for five-year-old little leaguers, so participation diplomas for high school or college graduates can only be described as disastrous.

Get your children OUT of the System – NOW

I have written several columns in the past about the declining education systems in certain blue cities across the country. In some instances, the test scores were so poor that it was nearly unbelievable. The solutions to these issues are not complicated, but identifying the problems and finding enough people willing to address them is another challenge altogether.

Teachers can no longer give failing grades

To facilitate effective learning, students should be taught rather than indoctrinated. Clear expectations must be established, along with consequences for when those expectations are not met. Currently, the educational system – from kindergarten through college – features teachers and administrators who often act more like social busybodies and micromanagers of others’ affairs than on teaching subjects that will genuinely benefit students in real life.
