Smith: The Red Wind Over the Republic ~ and the Saints Will Reach for Rifles!

We are seeing our immigration mess pushed to its breaking point in America today by Democrat Party Communist leaders in every sanctuary state and city across the country.

America is facing a coordinated ideological insurgency that uses immigration chaos, sanctuary policies, and far‑left protest movements and their useful communist Idiots as instruments of revolutionary change. This insurgency is seen as rooted in Marxist-Maoist ideology, supported by sympathetic institutions, and amplified – though not necessarily completely directed – by foreign adversaries and the financial backing of entities such as the Chinese Communist Party.

Most patriotic Americans, such as myself, fully recognize and understand that our country is being transformed against our will. Understanding this perspective is essential to understanding the depth of today’s political conflict. Continue reading →

Going Faster And Faster: The Acceleration Of Decline

There are times in the 27 years that I have maintained a series of websites, that the time goes by that I choose to republish and article that has something to SAY. The following was published July 15, 2002 on the original Federal Observer, in the category, ‘Village of the Damned‘ (so named for Hillary Clintons’ reference to “It takes a Village to raise a child.”) No thanks ma’am – leave our children in the hands of their parents. ~ Editor

Get your children OUT of the System – NOW

One must be careful in remembering better days. Memory presents an improving mirror, smoothing rough edges of rougher times, giving a warm glow to things that were less roseate when they happened. Like a good editor, it revises things for the better. Thus one recalls, or half-imagines, the idyllic boyhood in Mississippi, the favorite grove where one played in the slanting afternoon sunlight that probably wasn’t as golden as one recalls, with childhood companion who perhaps weren’t as admirable as they now seem. One forgets, or half forgets, the drunken parents and the poverty and hookworm. And so one must tread cautiously when pondering a past in which all things were better, cleaner, and purer. Yet…yet sometimes things were better, and sometimes things do decay. Sometimes a society does go from better to bad to worse. I wonder. Continue reading →

Why 2026 Marks the Dawn of Nationwide School Choice

Trump’s new federal school choice program includes an irresistible pathway for taxpayers to help kids.

You DO have choices you know!!!

As we kick off National School Choice Week, there’s never been a more exciting time for families who seek educational freedom. Governors across the country now have a golden opportunity to opt their states in early to President Trump’s innovative federal tax credit scholarship program embedded in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, unlocking scholarships for millions of kids without touching a dime of public school funding.

Sara: Another Shooting in Minnesota

And it’s awful. Again!

Again, another person who believed their presence was necessary, their purpose noble, and their cause just – did not return home.

Another person who believed they were fighting Nazis, the Gestapo, or fascists — fought to the death. Whether they wanted to, needed to, or understood what they were doing.

Another preventable situation that devolved quickly.

Another damaging war of words and narratives followed.

And the road of restoration for our nation becomes a little harder to pass – littered with all the junk dragged into it by both sides. Continue reading →

Smith: America’s Enemies From Within Seek Her Destruction

The more I see and hear coming out of sanctuary cities and states all around the nation, whether we speak of New York City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago or up the road from me in Nashville, the more convinced I am that there isn’t any peaceful solution, and we freedom and liberty minded Americans can no longer sit idly by while America is slowly dismantled piece by piece by subversive Democrat Marxist-Maoist Communists far too willing to do any and everything to destroy Her, even to the point of accepting financial help and training from the Chinese communists and other communists abroad.

Many lack the courage to admit this fact, simply because they don’t want to tip the cart so-to-speak, and they somehow believe we can simply keep limping along trying to make compromise after compromise with these vile, evil, intransigent commie rat bastards in a manner that prevents America from succeeding and reaching Her full potential. They would rather see the nation die slowly so long as their own respective and relative comfort isn’t disrupted in the slightest, looking at only ensuring their own prosperity and “security” in the short term rather than doing everything within their power to ensure prosperity and real and solid security for all Americans while defending and protecting our inalienable God-given rights.

Massive Social Security Data Breach Sparks Identity Theft Fears for Millions

Illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios

Federal officials are scrambling to contain the fallout from a massive Social Security data exposure that has thrust millions of Americans into the crosshairs of identity thieves. A whistleblower has alleged that more than 300 m Social Security records were placed at risk, potentially affecting virtually every working-age and retired person who depends on federal benefits. The breach is not just a technical failure, it is a direct threat to people’s credit, bank accounts, and long term financial security. Continue reading →

Smith: Between Yesterday’s Sorrow And Tomorrow’s Dark Doubt

Robert “LaVoy” Finicum

This is a story as old as mankind, as every person since the beginning of time has had choices to make and battles to wage from within and without, against himself, the elements and those who try to enslave him or suppress his natural right to freedom and liberty.

In the 20th and 21st centuries we have seen our own government commit egregious and unwarranted acts of violence against so many Americans, whether we look at Waco, Texas, Ruby Ridge and the assassination of Vicki Weaver or the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge standoff and the assassination of LaVoy Finicum.

January 26th marks the 10th anniversary of LaVoy’s murder at the hands of Oregon’s Highway Patrol and FBI Special Agents, in an ambush style attack on Highway 395 in 2016. ~ J.O.S.  Continue reading →

I Have Spent Years Teaching in Public Schools… Here is why I will homeschool my own future kids.

The Biblical admonition to train up a child in the way he should go is part of the basis for homeschooling in this country. By creating new institutions on a Godly basis away from corrupt cultural Marxist thought and method, America will build the infrastructure to return to greatness. Today these new institutions may include homeschooling, home churches, small home based business, etc. These are the building blocks of the return to sanity in America.

While Emily Bute isn’t a mom yet, she has already made one decision for her future kids: she will not be sending them to public school.

As a special education teacher in the public school system herself, she said she has seen first hand how the ‘system does not address the needs’ of children.

Bute, based in Oahu, Hawaii, recently went viral on TikTok after she broke down all the reasons why she has decided that she will homeschool her kids when she has them. Continue reading →

Hickman: Taxing Everything That’s Nailed Down

In the ancient town of Casinum – modern-day Cassino, Italy – parts of a Roman amphitheater still stand after nearly 2,000 years.

Carved into the stone, in Latin, is an inscription that translates to: “Ummidia Quadratilla, daughter of Caius, built the amphitheatre and temple for the people of Casinum at her expense.”

Ummidia Quadratilla was a wealthy Roman businesswoman who funded multiple public works, all out of her own pocket. Her name was carved in stone for eternity. When she died, she was respected enough that the younger Pliny wrote admiringly about her.

The Romans (and Greeks before them) called this practice euergetes – wealthy citizens funding infrastructure projects in exchange for public recognition. Rich people actually competed with one another to see who could give more since public generosity elevated one’s status. Continue reading →

David saw a massive angel hovering over Jerusalem ready to destroy it (1 Chronicles 21)

King David sinned by taking a census (trusting in numbers rather than God). A plague hit Israel. David looked up toward the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

He saw “the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem.”

Visually, this is terrifying. A spiritual giant suspended in the sky, silhouetted against the sun or stars. In its hand is a colossal sword, pointed downward at the city. David and the elders, dressed in sackcloth, fell facedown. The threshing floor (a place where wheat is crushed) became the altar. David bought the site instantly to offer a sacrifice. That very spot, where the angel stopped, later became the site of Solomon’s Temple. The Temple was built on the ground where judgment was halted by sacrifice.

David did not sin by taking a census, Satan was attacking Israel (much like today) and David was making preparations.

Marquardt: Masters of Seduction, an Introduction!

A Personal Note from Tom DeWeese:
The following article from APC Vice President Kathleen Marquardt is quite long, but it is vital information detailing exactly how the radical Left operates and has been able to successfully label those of us working to stop them as mere conspiracy theorists and hate mongers. It’s worked for years. To fight against them you need the details in this article. Save it, file it, and share it. We have a long way to go to successfully restore the freedoms they have stolen.

Masters of Seduction

For decades many of us have been trying to wake the public up to the machinations of a plethora of our leaders working toward a one-world order controlled by the rich and powerful, to be structured on Marxism/communism.

Understand that for many years, there were dedicated citizens who tried to expose the dangers of the push for communist/Marxist world control. Those on the side of free-market, laissez-faire capitalism, property rights, personal freedoms were ridiculed, blackmailed, and otherwise treated like scum of the earth – so no “civilized” person would be silly enough to believe in their foolish statements against the United Nations, the World Bank, or even Greenpeace. Face it, General McArthur, Joseph McCarthy, General Benton Partin, Paul Harvey were the kind of leaders our great forefathers had been who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But these more recent were vilified and driven out of “the right” society.

What those, and others like them have done is to keep some semblance of freedom-supporting/promoting information in front of the masses when possible. Continue reading →

Garrison: Cut Off the Funding to Violent Riots

The mega-billionaire George Soros and his son may not be funding the anti-Ice protests directly, but they send money to other projects and organizations that could be. Soros already sent money indirectly to fund the “No Kings” protests. Soros also funded the elections of far-left district attorneys in blue cities across the country. Those DAs let criminals go free to commit more crime including murder. Continue reading →

Dickens: Where, Oh Where has America Gone? – the Series

Where, Oh Where has America Gone?

Oh Where, oh where, can it be?

“Madness in individuals is rare, but in groups it is the rule.” ~ Nietzche

This morning, as I awakened from my night’s slumber, I asked… “Where the fuck am I?”

I don’t recognize this place. The surroundings seemed familiar: the room, my bed, my wife, but I had no idea where I was. This new reality is a product of mainstream media hocus pocus, mumbo-jumbo, and legerdemain.

Was my estrangement the result of a temporal anomaly or a rift caused by Google’s Quantum Computer, in an attempt to explain the irresponsible and hateful rhetoric from the mainstream media and elected leaders? These sources seem to endorse violence, substance abuse, murder, lawlessness, and seditious elements that further divide America and do not reflect its true values. Their agenda drives their narrative, shaping the discourse to support their goals, where lies are passed off as truth and the truth is irrelevant. Continue reading →

Garrison: What’s That Squeaking Noise? The Republican Congress!

Both Bill and Hillary Clinton refused to comply with the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena that required them to testify about Jeffrey Epstein. It only underlines the hypocrisy of the Democrats, who repeatedly stated ‘nobody is above the law’ as they concocted bogus charges against Trump. The Clintons are above the law. Hillary committed egregious crimes, and her comrade James Comey let her off the hook. Continue reading →

Snyder: Perhaps We Should Actually Be Focusing On Fixing America

After years of heading in the wrong direction, nobody can deny that the United States is facing overwhelming problems. So why don’t we focus on fixing those problems first? The truth is that we can’t do everything because our resources are very limited. U.S. households are more than 18 trillion dollars in debt, and the federal government is more than 38 trillion dollars in debt.

Even though we have literally stolen trillions upon trillions of dollars from future generations, our major cities are rapidly decaying, our infrastructure is crumbling, corruption is rampant, the middle class is shrinking, most of the population is struggling to even afford the basics each month, mass layoffs are happening all over the nation, our streets are teeming with hordes of drug addicts and homeless people, large numbers of Americans are selling images of themselves online just to make ends meet, and millions of others are living in their vehicles.

So why don’t we use what limited resources we have to fix our own problems? Continue reading →

IRS Announces Major Changes to Tax Deductions

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has unveiled substantial updates to federal tax deduction rules for individuals, families, and businesses.

Why It Matters

It follows the passage of the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), signed into law on July 4, 2025.

These changes, which take effect this year, are designed to provide tax relief across a broad range of categories, from working Americans and seniors to business investment and family support. Continue reading →

Smith: Americans Are In For One Helluva Ride

NOTE: The following post was texted to me while I was on the air on Thursday evening – and was in response to the subject matter at hand. Hold on to your hats Americans – we are in for some rough times ahead! ~ Editor


The national debt has taken on a life of its own, and largely due to its entitlement programs and the massive unfunded debt outside of the Congressional oversight and our endeavors to maintain our empire by growing expenditures through the Dept of Defense.

Our creditors will loan money so long as they view investment in the U.S. as a good risk. As our interest paid on the national debt remains above a trillion dollars or more and our spending amounts to 120% of our GDP, America grows closer and closer to a full blown economic collapse, especially if foreign nations stop loaning us money, making the Treasury resort to massive printing of currency measures that will drive the sort of inflation growth that collapsed the Weimar Republic just prior to WW II. Continue reading →

The American Empire Has Entered Its Final Act!

President Trump promised restoration — twice.

               ...but it didn’t get done!

The first time, he vowed to “drain the swamp,” revive American industry, tame debt, rebuild trust, and restore pride. The second time, he returned with a sharper edge and a louder voice, insisting that only he could finish the job he claimed had been sabotaged the first time around.

What MAGA voters received instead wasn’t renewal, but a grim revelation. The failure was never just Trump. He was the messenger. The problem is that America no longer has the political, economic or cultural capacity to deliver restoration at all. Continue reading →
