Being one of the staunchest defenders of the Bill of Rights and our inalienable God-given rights, I have always been particularly incensed and angered each time I reflect back over these past events and the manner in which the government agents reacted. Afterwards, it was always the same tired refrain of “the officers were following the law“, “we were only following orders” or “they acted against orders” and in the meantime, good and decent Americans still lay in their graves, deprived of life and joys they would still be experiencing today, since I’m certain that at least LaVoy and Ashli were both young enough that they would be alive today had it not been for trigger-happy, scared-of-their shadow cowards or simply evil government agents far too eager to take another American’s life simply because he or she stood up for what is right, good and decent.

In early December 2001, ‘normal’ life very suddenly ceased to exist in Argentina – anything that remotely resembled a functional society came to an abrupt end. And that is by no means an exaggeration.
Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum issued a chilling warning about a potential terrorist attack on the Statue of Liberty as the U.S. marks the 250th anniversary of its independence.
I was sipping my morning coffee while perusing the news feeds, and reading a few posts on various sites, when it struck me… All We Ever Do Is BITCH about things – me included. I have offered some suggestions from time to time, but all the bullshit I’ve encountered in the past several years has been hyper-critical bitching and no… not one suggestion on how to resolve or fix any problem. These are superficial gripes and even some really detailed harangues, but not one single suggestion on what to do… Only bitching!
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.
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.
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.
Democratic members of Congress have filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth while nearly 100 congressional Democrats are calling for the president’s removal from office over his threats to Iran.
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…
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.” 
Based on the above, I recommend to everyone to read Banking 1770 and Onward
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.
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. 
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.
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.
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.
