The following column was published on Federal Observer on January 8, 2021. Nothing has changed. I have provided many links below to allow our readers to fully understand the insanity of it all. ~ Jeffrey Bennett, Editor
Since June 28, 1995… I have been telling you so…
The phrase “the Fall of America” suggests some cataclysmic event ended the American Empire which had stretched from Maine to California and Florida to Washington. But at the end, there was no straining at the gates, no barbarian horde that dispatched the Empire in one fell swoop. Rather, the Empire fell slowly, as a result of challenges from within and without, and changing over the course of hundreds of years until its form was unrecognizable.
These past four years, and more these past two months and days have put pressure on this nation as has not been seen since both our American Revolution of the 1770’s, and our second Revolution of the 1860’s. For me – it has been the days of this week, more than any before them.
Frankly, the 21 months I spent in Vet Nam between 1968 (beginning months after the Tet Offensive) and ending in early 1970 – not once during that time did I feel the pressure nor fear – that I feel for this nation – and our future – that I feel today. Continue reading
An analyst Friday said that President Donald Trump’s floundering MAGA regime and “cast of characters” is “wreaking havoc” on Americans’ lives.
A recent study has identified a potential brain-based explanation for the connection between future-oriented thinking and the characteristics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. The research suggests that the strength of communication between specific brain networks is linked to a person’s ability to plan for the future, which in turn is associated with the severity of inattention and hyperactivity. The findings were published in Progress in Neuropsychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry.
Many conservatives may have some problems with many things President Trump is doing in this second term, but to date, nothing he has done has been blatantly illegal, as depicted by six Democrat know-nothing seditious assholes recently. Now the same can’t be said for his first term, when he suspended the Constitution over the Covid outbreak and violated all Americans’ inalienable God-given rights and individual liberty.
If you’ve ever watched crime dramas or cop shows on TV or the big screen you are probably familiar with the term the title of this essay refers to; the good cop/bad cop interrogation method. Basically, one cop comes across as aggressive, while the other is sympathetic to your plight. What is supposed to happen is that you accept whatever offer the good cop provides in order to stop having to be harassed by the ‘bad’ cop; never realizing you are being played; both cops seek the same goal; a confession or admission of guilt. 
Last year at this time we published the newly-elected Donald Trump hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for his friends and cabinet. It was a happy cartoon without conflict.
In 1871, as the Reconstruction-era US federal government was growing ever larger, work began on a massive office building in Washington DC to house the growing departments of State, War, and Navy.
Democrat-run cities are failing when it comes to education. The unsatisfactory results have worsened through the years. Too much taxpayer money has been thrown toward the problem, without seeing any improvement whatsoever. Too many students in the big blue cities graduate while being functionally illiterate. Teachers can’t be fired due to teachers unions. The curriculum has been dumbed down in order to allow students to pass. This is also happening in red states.
