Smith: “Livin’ in America

BAM BAM Bam, Bam BAM BAM bam came the knock last night at 11:30. No one ever comes to my home after 11, so I promptly grabbed my .40 and headed toward the door, shouting “Who is it”?

One, two, three seconds – no answer. I switched on the porch light and swung the door open at the ready to see two Rutherford County Sheriff Deputies shining their flashlights in my face. Continue reading

June 20, 2025: Just WTF is Going On?

Major US Healthcare Data Provider Hit by Data Breach
Over 5 Million Patients Affected!

Researchers found 30 databases housing 16 billion records online. The records were most likely generated by info-stealers. Records come from a wide range of providers, from Apple to Google and many more

Security researchers have reported discovering what could be the mother of all data breaches – a set of 30 databases containing a total of 16 billion records… (Continue to full article)

Border Patrol Finds ‘Highly Sophisticated‘ Smuggling Tunnel Passing Under California Port Of Entry
The tunnel connected Tijuana and San Diego and was almost 3,000 feet long.

Border Patrol agents have disabled a tunnel that crossed the southern border and sought to be used for smuggling purposes, authorities said.

Concretely, the tunnel was found in early April while still under construction. It passed underneath the Otay Mesa Port of Entry and connected Tijuana and San Diego, U.S. Customs and Border Protection detailed. Its projected exit point would be near or inside a commercial warehouse space in San Diego… (Continue to full article)

The Real Reason People Are Giving Up on Work

Trump’s Border Agenda ‘The Most Effective in Decades’
As the Biden-era border chaos is being unraveled, the legacy media is now targeting Trump administration veterans like Stephen Miller – those who are actually making the immigration system work again.

Laura Ingraham opened her latest segment by calling out NBC for its attempt to smear Miller, President Trump’s point person on immigration policy and a longtime MAGA stalwart. The network criticized Miller for reportedly pressing ICE to make 3,000 arrests per day – a number Ingraham called not only reasonable but too low given the scale of the problem.

Americans want mass deportation, period“…… (Continue to full article)

Fear Spreads At Veterans Affairs Hospitals As Trump Job Cuts Loom
VA nurses warn that veteran care could deteriorate even if frontline workers are exempt from layoffs. “When you lay off support staff, our jobs get harder.”

When the Trump administration fired 2,000 probationary employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs earlier this year, frontline health care workers were spared from the president’s cuts. But Ann Marie Patterson-Powell said she and other VA nurses still felt the effects of the layoffs.

Medical supplies became harder to track down in her oncology unit at the VA hospital in Durham, North Carolina, Patterson-Powell said. So she ended up going floor to floor looking for blood-pressure cuffs, urinals, alcohol swabs and gauze. Nurses also had to help deliver meal trays to patients’ rooms, something normally done by the food service team… (Continue to full article)

U.S. Considers Selling More Than 16 Million Acres of Federal Land in California for Housing

OH – What the Hell!!!

Sara Johnson: No King? No Problem!

I would say I have never seen more collective confusion, and emotion-driven, unproductive, though self-congratulating drivel. But I have. It has become a distinctive of the left.

What a busy weekend it was! Hardly any time to celebrate pops or papas with all that is happening in the world.

We had the horrific assassination of lawmakers in Minnesota, which we will absolutely be addressing in a later post.

We had the Army’s 250th Anniversary Parade. What were y’all’s thoughts on this? I loved it. But I love history, America, and the military. More than once I found myself googling a fact or “Well, how about that-ing” to new information. For instance, because of the Big Red 1 flag on my neighbor’s house…I now know he is not to be trifled with, and also where I have now instructed my children to go if danger presents itself. Go, Arny!

Housing Finance Chief: It’s Time for Fed’s Powell to Resign

Jerome Powell

Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, told Newsmax on Thursday he has a simple message for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell after the agency’s board declined to lower interest rates this week: Resign.

The Fed on Wednesday held its benchmark interest rate steady at 4.25% to 4.5%, keeping borrowing rates elevated for Americans for the fourth straight time. The last time it cut rates was in December, by a quarter of a percent. President Donald Trump responded later that day in a post on Truth Social calling Powell “a real dummy, who’s costing America $Billions!Continue reading

Bennett: What the Hell Happened to America?

It is the study of history that teaches us to hope.” ~ Robert Edward Lee

This equestrian statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was removed from downtown Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017.

September 4, 2018 ~ It is Monday night (Labor Day 2018) and the first time I have been away from the home/office since Friday night. Much has been accomplished relating to website updates and the continued merging of several aspects of the ultimate goal, but some things have happened that I have become aware of – other events which I have been following.

Let me provide you with some background for the purpose of this post…

This first part of our story began on July 11th of this year when I had finally reached the end of my rope with all of the hatred and anger in this nation, so much of which has been stirred up by the so-called ‘media.’ I had made a decision to begin shutting down many of my efforts – efforts which I had launched seven weeks before 9/11.

Dickens: McCarthy was Right ~ The Cancer in America IS Marxism

Senator Joseph McCarthy: American hero

Senator Joseph McCarthy’s primary assertion was that communists had infiltrated the US government, particularly the State Department. He famously claimed to have a list of 205 such individuals, although he never provided concrete evidence to support his accusations.

McCarthy’s claims fueled the Red Scare, a period of widespread fear of communist influence in the United States following World War II. His accusations led to investigations, hearings, and blacklists in various sectors, including government, Hollywood, and academia.

While McCarthy’s accusations were never fully substantiated, they did have a significant impact on American society and politics in the 1950s. The Army-McCarthy hearings, which were televised, were instrumental in exposing McCarthy’s tactics and ultimately contributed to his downfall.

Fast-forward to today; there are proudly self-professed, self-identified, and self-confirmed Socialists, Marxists, Communists, and Terrorist Sympathizers in the US Congress, the opposite of progress, leading this republic over a cliff. Continue reading

Smith: America’s Greedy “Elites” Are Out of Economic Tricks

Too many Americans always assume that intelligent people have everyone’s best interests at heart and that any technologies and notions they advance and advocate in the name of “Progress” will solve all of the people’s difficulties and social ills without causing any pain, and yet over the past few decades the consequences of illiberal “liberalism” and the “progress” attained by it has reveal the exact opposite. If it their ideas bring great benefit to others, they really don’t care, just as they don’t care if they bring great harm, so long as their needs and agenda are ultimately met and fulfilled.

What’s Driving Americans To Live Paycheck To Paycheck?

One Person Says It’s Like Being ‘Thrown Into Adulthood Without A Map

Many Americans are stuck living paycheck to paycheck, and it’s not just because they don’t make enough money. While low wages and the rising cost of living are factors, Reddit users recently shared a much broader picture of the problem, revealing how complex and widespread the issue really is.

Feds Gave $79 Billion in Pandemic Relief to People With Stolen or Invalid Social Security Numbers

The federal government paid $79 billion in Covid-19 relief to individuals who likely used phony or stolen Social Security numbers (SSNs), according to a recent report from the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC).

Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 and subsequent legislation, Uncle Sam shelled out $5 trillion to counteract the economic damage wreaked by federal, state, and local policies that shuttered businesses and put millions out of work.

Among the largest pandemic-relief programs were the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (COVID-19 EIDL) program and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), and the Department of Labor’s (DOL) pandemic Unemployment Insurance (UI) programs. Those programs accounted for an estimated $400 billion worth of fraud, according to 2023 reports from the SBA’s and DOL’s inspectors general. Continue reading

How Legal Immigration Is Keeping Farms Afloat

The H-2A visa program is an example of how legal immigration can supply labor in America, but farmers say reform is needed.

Joe Mencer, owner of Mencer Farms in Lake Village, Ark., on April 29, 2025. Samira Bouaou/The Epoch Times

LAKE VILLAGE, Ark. – On a breezy day, sun and shadow dance across Mencer farms, turning it into a patchwork of green in the fertile Arkansas Delta.

It is humid here in the deep South, where the clock seems to run slower and the temperature hotter than in other places.

Lake Village is a small town sitting along Lake Chicot, an abandoned channel of the Mississippi River. Over thousands of years, flooding deposited rich alluvial soil, making it ideal for crops such as rice, cotton, soybeans, and corn.

As a child, William Mencer’s grandfather handed him a cowboy hat and a garden hoe to dig up the pigweeds growing between the crop rows.

The 31-year-old farmer remembers spending long, sweltering days alongside the farmworkers, his hands growing rough and calloused with the effort.

“So I learned, you know, what it was like for these workers.”

He vowed to escape the sweat and toil of the fields by going to law school and working in an office. But the family farm drew him back like a love song.

Now he is partnering with his father, Joe Mencer, to keep the farm afloat with temporary agriculture workers through the H-2A visa program. Continue reading

Smith ~ Invasion America: Told in a Hundred Foreign Tongues

I cannot recall another time that has made me nearly so angry, as this past weekend after witnessing all these illegal alien invader rat bastards waving their foreign flags and trashing Los Angeles, not that I’m so fond of California or L.A. but just because it is still a part of America. And the level of arrogance and disrespect aimed at our country that would even make them believe for an instant that this was acceptable in any sense of the world is enough to make any normal patriotic American want to cut the lot of them down in a hail of .308 rounds, in my humble Tennessee ridge-runnin’ way of thinking.

The center is not holding, and the entire country is balancing along a razor’s edge, simply holding its breath and waiting for the next shoe to drop. Continue reading

AI Is Taking Thousands of Jobs! Is Yours at Risk?

Experts and those who have lost work to AI integration weigh in as 92 million jobs could be cut globally by 2030.

Just as the internet radically changed how America conducts business, artificial intelligence (AI) is also making waves in the workplace by taking thousands of jobs. It’s an outcome that industry experts have warned would happen, and professionals across multiple employment sectors have already been affected.

Beyond artists and content creators, AI is also impacting professionals in marketing, technology, translation, various levels of administration, and management. It has been a silent and ongoing trend for two years, but tech insiders say this is just the beginning. Continue reading

Dickens: Merkan Kritocracy II: Who’s Really Running This Republic?

Merka’s Kritocracy – Judges are in charge.

                  Heah Come de Judges

In this political cycle, voters elected #47 to lead the Executive Branch of the Republic for four years. But the Radical Democrat appointed judges are blocking his every effort to fulfill his campaign promises with injunctions and restraining orders. Who’s running the country?

Partisan politicians’ weaponization of the Department of Justice (DoJ) to persecute #45, and now #47, has led to the resurrection of an ancient style of government. Merka’s rejiggering of the US Constitution brought forth a new, selective judicial tyranny: the emergence of the Merkan Kritocracy.

This judicial seizure means that Merka is no longer a democracy; it’s now a kritocracy, that is, a system of rule by judges, similar to the one in ancient Israel. According to the Book of Exodus, Moses began the kritocracy before establishing a united monarchy under Saul, as described in the Book of Kings.

Scholars place this date between the 13th and 15th Centuries BCE, which is strangely appropriate in the 21st century. What was once very old, 36 centuries old in fact, is new again. Continue reading

Garrison: “Big Beautiful Bill….Clinton

In a recent interview, Bill Clinton was asked if he thought Biden was competent to serve as president.

“I thought he was a good president,” Clinton answered.

He mentioned he had several talks with Biden and said he never noticed a cognitive decline. Really, Bill? Maybe that was because you are on a mental decline yourself. Or perhaps you enjoy exhibiting an obtuse loyalty to fellow Democrats.

AZ Gov Hobbs Paves Way for Strategic Land Purchases by China

Chinese investment in land near U.S. military bases has become an increasing concern for national security observers. This June 2024 map shows 19 military bases where Chinese-owned farmland is in relation to them. (New York Post, 6/20/2024)

Andy Biggs, a U.S. House Republican from Arizona, is running for governor in his home state next year. The incumbent gave him serious campaign fodder this week.

Governor Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, vetoed bipartisan state legislation that sought to prevent China from buying land next to strategic assets such as military bases. Hobbs argued that S.B. 1109 was “ineffective at counter-espionage” and did not “directly protect” American military assets in the state.

Arizona State Senate Majority Leader Janae Shamp (R) slammed Hobbs, citing recent Chinese attempts to lease buildings alongside Arizona’s Luke Air Force Base where the U.S. military trains fighter pilots. (NOTE: Luke Air Force Base is about 15 minutes from my home. ~ Editor) Shamp, the bill’s author, called the veto decision “utterly insane” and challenged Hobbs for “every politically motivated veto of public safety legislation put on her desk by Republicans.” Continue reading

Bye-Bye President Trump: June 7, 2025

Out Of His Mind’: Critics Aghast At Trump’s ‘Detached From Reality’ New Message
Trump shares a lot of outlandish messages on his social media pages, but critics say a single repost over the weekend might be his most “unhinged” yet.

Trump on Saturday night reposted a message on Truth Social claiming that former President Joe Biden had been executed in 2020 and replaced by “clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities.”

Since returning to the White House, Trump has continued to promote conspiracy theories, and has even elevated conspiracy theorists to key positions… (Continue to full article)

Shooting Himself in the Foot‘: Trump Reportedly Handicapping His Own Presidency
Trump is handicapping his own “support system” because of an outdated grudge, according to a conservative analyst.

The problem is that people like the president and the people around him don’t like organizations like the NSC, because they’re full of experts. They’re full of people who work the problem. And that doesn’t go very well when he says, ‘I want to do x, y, and z,’ and they say, ‘Well, there, you know, you can do whatever you want, Mr. President, but there are problems with that. Here are some costs. Here are some things that you have to worry about.

This president doesn’t want to hear any of that stuff. And the NSC exists to tell him stuff like that. That’s what it’s there for. It’s the president’s kind of personal foreign policy, interagency support staff and think tank all rolled into one supposedly or normally headed by a national security advisor who gives him the best advice, handles all these contending institutions and opinions… (Continue to full article)

We Cannot Throw the Legacy of This Country Away
Clinton opened up about current President Donald Trump and his administration during an appearance on CBS “Sunday Morning,” this week.

“Look, we’ve never seen anything like this before in my lifetime,” Clinton said. “Somebody that says, ‘Whatever I want should be the law of the land. It’s my way or the highway.’ And most Americans don’t agree with that.”

I think that (Trump) has paid a price for this, you know, name-calling and throwing his weight around.

“I think it’s made him less popular to the point where … look, only elections are going to change this. But I do think the courts are getting their dander up. I think him shutting law firms out of representing their clients before federal agencies in federal buildings because he doesn’t agree with their position — that ain’t America. We’ve never done that. The whole purpose of having a legal system is to have both sides be heard(NOTE: Stay tuned for MORE regarding the Clinton Story!) (Continue to full article)

Trump Exhibits ‘Mental Incapacity‘ and ‘Cognitive Decline
Trump has faced criticism regarding his cognitive state since his return to the White House. While he boasts about being in good health, an expert has shared a different opinion

Similar to his first term as president, Donald Trump has continued to tout his competence, the brilliance of his team, and bash his predecessors, while also going on random tangents during rally speeches and speaking to the media. However, a communications expert and Trump author has expressed that Trump’s actions and speech also signify a mental incapacity

His lack of focus makes it seem as though he’s experiencing cognitive decline, that his brain is not well-disciplined, and he’s unable to maintain a thought and carry it through a logical conclusion… (Continue to full article)

Musk calls for Trump’s IMPEACHMENT
Musk unleashed a fresh round of tweets late Thursday afternoon, calling for President Trump to be impeached and declaring that SpaceX would begin decommissioning a spacecraft essential to NASA’s operation — though he later backtracked on this threat.

Trump’s threat to cancel billions of dollars of government contracts with Musk’s companies has ignited a new round of escalation in the explosive civil war between the two former allies.

Musk, the world’s richest man, also spent much of the afternoon tweeting about Trump’s alleged ties to notorious sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein… (Continue to full article)

Are We Smarter Than Our Ancestors?

When I was a kid, the postman semi-annually delivered a booklet-sized mail-order catalog with an odd mix of hundreds of household gadgets and cheap novelties: personalized pencils, cat toys, jumping beans and kitschy doorstops, et al.

The catalog also displayed the above-pictured LP cover of Orson Welles’ 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast mockudrama. As did the sensationalistic record cover, the catalog’s caption said that panicked Americans ran screaming into the streets or had heart attacks after hearing a radio report that Martians had invaded the US; specifically, my native New Jersey. Intrigued, I uncharacteristically asked my mother to buy the record. She declined. Continue reading
