Ross: Perceptions

“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” ~ Matthew 5:48

The human mind is a fascinating organ. Aside from being the control center for the body that houses it, it is because of our ability to think that we have cars, airplanes, computers, and all the other gadgets and gizmos that make our day-to-day lives easier. That is why I find it so bewildering that people are not able to look at the issues that face us with the same critical thinking skills that have given us all these technological advancements. The thing is, I shouldn’t find it bewildering; I too was just like that; until I freed my mind of the shackles of its ignorance and taught it how to think critically. Continue reading

Yes, We Still Need the First Amendment

NOTE: Last week, on April the sixth, we published an article entitled, America ABANDONS The First Amendment. What you are about to read picks up where the original column left off and posts its own discussion – POINT BLANK. It would appear that the current bunch of scum in the U.S. Congress (collectively) are doing their utmost to attack the entirety of the Bill of Rights. ~ Editor

Government censorship has shifted to the forefront of American conversation with the recent passing of H.R. 752, which would essentially ban TikTok; this development, which has passed the House and is on its way to the Senate, is igniting debating on how much involvement the government should have in social media.

This debate is not new, considering the government has been intervening in social media for years. For example, this is not the first time the federal government has tried to ban TikTok. In 2020, then-President Trump famously attempted to ban the uprising app but was challenged and ultimately blocked by the courts. Continue reading

The Day of Nuclear Armageddon

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb!

Newly declassified documents reveal in macabre minute-by-minute detail what the end of the world would like. And why those vaporized instantly by an atomic bomb will be the lucky ones…

This story, of what the moments after a nuclear missile launch could look like, is based on facts sourced from exclusive interviews with presidential advisers, cabinet members, nuclear weapons engineers, scientists, soldiers, airmen, special operators, Secret Service, emergency management experts, intelligence analysts, civil servants and others who have worked on these macabre scenarios over decades.

As the plans for General Nuclear War are among the most classified secrets held by the US government, the scenario postulated here takes the reader up to the razor’s edge of what can legally be known. Declassified documents, obfuscated for decades, fill in the details with terrifying clarity. Continue reading

Saving the Gas-Powered Car and Making Money on Carbon

A week after the Biden administration’s March 20 edict on auto emissions – a proclamation heralded by some as the death knell for the internal combustion engine in the next decade – a disquiet has insinuated itself into the corridors of commentary. Even Washington Post columnists are worrying that the Biden administration may have gone too far.

In a March 25 opinion piece, the Post’s Megan McArdle – whose political leanings cannot by the even most imaginative stretch be construed as sympathetic to Donald Trump – observed that the administration “risks a political backlash” as it seeks to force out gasoline-powered cars and force in electric vehicles (EVs). In McArdle’s words of warning, “consumers revolt against a technology that’s not ready for prime time.” Continue reading

U.S. ‘Breaking Apart‘ With 25 States ‘Ready’ to LEAVE

Texas’ state flag. In hypothetical referendums, 25 states would vote for full independence from the U.S., according to a leading Texas nationalist. ~ AARON M. SPRECHER/GETTY

A leading Texas independence campaigner has said the United States is “breaking apart,” with over 50 percent of the population in 25 states ready to secede based on his interpretation of two recent surveys by the polling company YouGov. Continue reading

April 7, 2024: The Continued INVASION of America… The Insanity Will NOT End

Illegal Immigrant From Haiti Accused in Stabbing Deaths of 2 People in NY

Haitian migrant, Kenol Baptiste

An illegal immigrant from Haiti has been charged with killing two of his acquaintances, a crime he is alleged to have committed prior to deportation hearings.

The incident took place on April 1 afternoon in the area of 33 Ruth Court in Middletown, New York. “The initial report indicated that a male subject had been stabbed,” the City of Middletown Police Department said in an April 2 press release. When officers arrived at the scene, “they located two male subjects that had sustained multiple stab wounds.” One of the subjects was located inside 33 Ruth Court and was determined to have died. The other person, found on the sidewalk outside of 33 Ruth Court, was determined to have suffered serious injuries and transported to a hospital, where he succumbed during surgery.

The immigrant has been placed in Orange County jail on deportation hold… (Continue to full article)

Fermin Garcia-Gutierrez

Illegal Migrant, 46, Who Has Been Arrested ELEVEN Times and Deported EIGHT Is Charged With Murder After Man’s Body Is Discovered in Ohio
Fermin Garcia-Gutierrez, 46, has been arrested for shooting and killing another man in Hamilton on Monday.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said Garcia-Gutierrez has arrests dating back to 2001 and has allegedly used at least seven different names and three different birthdates.

Before he was charged with the murder, police had arrested Garcia-Gutierrez for carrying a concealed weapon, having a weapon while intoxicated and obstruction, reported WCPO. ‘It just so happens we ran into him and had an encounter with him. Unbeknownst to us he had committed this murder,’ said Hamilton Police Chief Craig Bucheit said.

Now he is facing an aggravated murder charge that could see him sentence to 30-years in prison or get the death penalty. Garcia-Guiterrez is being held without bail at the Butler County jail on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement holder.

Since Biden took office, the total number of southwest land border encounters hit a staggering 7,740,747… (Continue to full article)

NYC Migrant Squatters Prove AGAIN Biden’s Border Policy Is Utterly Broken

Yoessy Pino Castillo

If you need any more evidence of how badly Open Borders Joe has broken US immigration enforcement, consider the posse of illegal-migrant squatters busted in The Bronx on gun and drug charges: Several turned out to be fugitives from ICE.

Border Patrol grabbed up Yoessy Pino Castillo, Yojairo Martinez, Javier Alborno, and Yerbin Lozado-Munoz in Texas between 2022 and 2023; all got cut loose to report later for processing — but instead went on the run and reached New York.

Castillo and Alborno both have lengthy rap sheets for crimes in New York, including shoplifting and weapons possession.

And so the nation faces a humanitarian catastrophe at the southern border, with tiny towns utterly overwhelmed by inflows. Mobs of migrants breaking through fences and bum-rushing border agents — then getting let go by lefty judges…. (Continue to full article)

200,000 Deportation Cases Dismissed

About 200,000 deportation cases have been thrown out by immigration judges, according to a new report published by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.

TRAC researchers evaluated data from January 2021 to February 2024 and found that 200,000 asylum or other immigration cases were dismissed because the Department of Homeland Security didn’t file paperwork with the courts in time for scheduled hearings.

One of the policies implemented by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for which he was impeached relates to changing the detention and removal process. This included mass releasing illegal foreign nationals into the country who were given a Notice to Appear before an immigration court at a future date and location.

In response to its findings, two U.S. House committees launched an investigation… (Continue to full article)

Biden Makes a War Announcement That Americans Can’t Believe Is Real

This is what everyone was worried would happen. War just seems inevitable.

And now Americans can’t believe that this Biden admin war announcement is actually happening.

For more than two years now, the war between Russia and Ukraine has been raging on with seemingly no end in sight. The Democrats have been promising Americans for two years that all that has to happen is give Ukraine more money and more military support in their defensive effort against Russia. The war will surely be over soon, they say.

Surveys suggest that the majority of Americans are tired of their taxpayer dollars being counted on as an infinite resource to be sent over to Ukraine when there’s plenty of Americans who need help in the homeland. Continue reading

Benson: If You Want Truth, Government Is the LAST Place to Get It

OH – how RARE – NOT!

Has anyone noticed lately how often someone in a government position has been shown to be lying to us? With the Biden/Obama regime the amount of political BS has proliferated astronomically. Just about anyone from this regime that gets a ten second spot on the news, from Biden’s press secretary to the man “who does more work in an hour than most people do all day” himself has been caught in egregious falsehoods, to the point where they don’t even try to convince you they are telling the truth anymore. They just spin their horrendous political windys and almost dare anyone to contradict them. Continue reading

“Education” In Oregon Schools

Oregon students don’t need to prove mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate, citing harm to students of color

 

Oregon high school students won’t have to prove basic mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate from high school until at least 2029, the state Board of Education decided unanimously on Thursday, extending the pause on the controversial graduation requirement that began in 2020.

The vote went against the desires of dozens of Oregonians who submitted public comments insisting the standards should be reinstated, including former Republican gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan. Backlash against the lowered standard had already delayed the vote, originally slated to take place in September (of 2023). Continue reading

Inspired Idiots: Guess Which 1920s Technology Congress is Mandating?

Monkey’s – It is what they have become!

This is hilarious. Rather than tackle the actual problems plaguing the country, Congress wants to ensure we’re all still using a century-old technology. James is right, it’s hard to think that these people are capable of turning things around. But there are solutions that each of us can rely on to reduce the consequences of their debt, inflation, and more.]

Did you hear about the newest vehicle safety feature that Congress wants to mandate?

It’s not some AI sensor system, or even a newfangled airbag…. Nope! Continue reading

Benson: Biden’s Replacement Theology

The website https://www.heritage.org noted, back in March of 2023, that: “In President Biden’s first two years, the administration requested and received significant funding to further its open borders agenda. The Biden administration (used) hundreds of billions of federal dollars to shift federal agencies and personnel further away from enforcing the nation’s immigration laws and toward processing and accommodating millions more illegal aliens. This policy agenda defies federal law and abuses American taxpayer dollars and Congress should act to halt it.”

But it won’t!

Dickens: They’re Transplants?

“They come here to live and bring their baggage with them, transforming their new home into the place they just left.”

                      The Amalgamated Heavy

April 4, 2024 ~ I’m genuinely amazed by the source of my inspiration. Sometimes, it is a book or story, and often, it is a simple word that triggers my creative thoughts, so it is with this commentary.

My wife and I began watching the TV series Yellowstone again. We enjoyed it the first time, but I wanted to watch it again from a different perspective. It had been a couple of years since our previous encounter with the series, and I have a deeper understanding of the use of color and music in films, especially in advertising. But art and color are more overt in advertising – they’re more in your face because they only have a short time to hook, coerce, and program you.

Film is a different medium because they have more time to develop the story and the supporting programming elements. They can take you on an expedition of indoctrination using color, location, and music to enhance the message. Continue reading

Whitehead – We Failed the Freedom Test

“The remedy is worse than the disease. ~ Francis Bacon

…das ist Auschwitz!

The government never cedes power willingly.

Neither should we.

If the Covid-19 debacle taught us one thing it is that, as Justice Neil Gorsuch acknowledged, “Rule by indefinite emergency edict risks leaving all of us with a shell of a democracy and civil liberties just as hollow.”

Unfortunately, we still haven’t learned. Continue reading

Terry: I’ve Been Diagnosed as Delusional!

I went to see my Doctor at the Hershey Medical Center. I proceeded to explain to him that there was no law requiring most people to pay Federal Income Taxes. Dr. Richard Levine got all upset and called the Emergency Room. He then asked me to go to the emergency room and talk to a psychiatrist. Dr. Levine said to me that he did not know if the Psychiatrist would Hospitalize me or not for stating that there was no law requiring most people to pay Income Taxes. He said that a few days in the Hospital might do me some good. I did not go to the Emergency Room I went home because I did not want to go to the Psychiatric Ward. When I returned to Dr. Levine’s office for a follow-up appointment, I told him that I did not go to the Emergency Room. Dr. Levine called my boyfriend into his office with us and told my boyfriend that I was having Delusional thoughts.

He then proceeded to ask me if I still thought that there was no law requiring most people to pay Income taxes. Continue reading

Wark: What’s so good about Good Friday?

                                      The Crucifixion by Gustave Doré

It’s Good Friday and I want to do something I’ve never done before. I want to talk about it.

Today we recognize that 2024 years ago Jesus Christ died on a cross.

But the significance of Jesus’ death doesn’t make sense until you understand Passover.

The story of Passover is found in Exodus chapter 12. The Israelites, who were slaves in Egypt, were instructed by God through Moses to sacrifice a spotless 1-year-old male lamb and put the blood of the lamb around their door frames.

That night, the Lord killed every firstborn child and every firstborn animal in Egypt, but the Lord passed over the houses with the blood of the lamb on the door. Continue reading

Benson: “Jesus Christ is King!”

Today being Maundy Thursday, the day before the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ, I felt it was a good time for this article. Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab.com, seems to have committed the “unpardonable (antisemitic) sin” because he has written “Jesus Christ is King” and he continues to do so. You just can’t have Christians running around stating obvious truths like that that rob the state of Israel of its desired grandeur. So what to do? Label such truths as “antisemitic.” That should shut those Christians up!

I did an article not too long ago noting that not all who have embraced the religion of Judaism are Semitic by birth. In fact, most today are not. Their ancestors came mostly from Western Russia and Eastern Europe and they have no more claim to being Semitic than the man in the moon! In fact, many of those they claim to be antisemitic are really Semites racially, while most Jews today are not.

Christians should have no problem proclaiming that Jesus Christ is King. Unfortunately, whether some Christians realize it or not, they are really busy stating that “the state of Israel is king–and don’t you forget it.” Looking at some Scripture on this Maundy Thursday, the Scripture is quite clear regarding the actions of Israel’s religious leaders during the Lord’s time on earth.

Handle Hard Better: A Good Life Doesn’t Come Easy

I never thought I’d see the day when police officers would be forced to do nothing, while “youths”, [young?] black thugs from 15 to 55, and older, rip through stores taking whatever they want without laying the first nickel on the counter in payment. So much for “the rule of law” in America. So much for “work ethic” these days too, since it has been condemned as a mythological beast that may have once existed in a far away land that seems to have died a slow death at the hands of the Takers, the Marxist-Maoist Commies who tout the wonders of “Free Stuff“, courtesy of Uncle Sam.

Sure. Life in the real world often isn’t fun for any of us. Many live a plain, no-frills life, in basic, cramped, meager conditions. But at least it’s real and it’s ours, complain as we will, not some delusional, fantastical utopian wonderland where death and destruction are the rule, once the curtains fall away.

And for whatever effort they put forth, the Takers greatest efforts seen in their nihilistic destruction of all around them, simply because they don’t have the same quality of goods, a large bank account and nice things that more driven, capable people have acquired for themselves. They tread water working menial jobs; they listen to songs created by others, while they create nothing, and they indulge in drugs and alcohol to alter their minds and make their meaningless lives more tolerable. ~ J.O.S.

Kunstler: Wake-up Call…

“Those who organized the disaster will take advantage of the inevitable discontent arising from efforts to overcome it, for if there is one thing that they are skilled in, it is demagoguery.” ~ Theodore Dalrymple

Can you feel it? The tension rising to the red-line? It runs clear through all of Western Civ. We are ruled by governments of fiends. But now, the sun rides higher in the sky. The sap is rising in the northern forests. The earth heaves. The buds swell and blush. Something is in the air. The animals are waking from their long winter sleep. The natives are restless.

The two traditional political divisions, liberal and conservative died with Covid. Now there are simply the sane versus the insane. The sane have had enough of being pushed around by the insane. The insane don’t register much of what reality tries to tell them. They have a body of insane ideas to comfort and protect them from reality’s rigors. To call that body of ideas an “ideology” is way too polite. Continue reading

The Program – Programmed by the Programmers – Programming…

“Don’t worry, we’ll tell you what you think…”

While my wife and I watched a particularly engaging action movie, she remarked…

I wonder how many people see this as reality. Do you think they know this is just entertainment, or do they think this is real?

Her perspective is spot on and the impetus for this opinion piece.

The episode portrayed Russia in a particularly antagonistic light and America as the Knights in shining armor… as one would expect. The program gave rise to an intriguing conversation about what we see and believe. Continue reading

Benson: Are The Pornographic Textbook Chickens Finally Coming Home To Roost In Kanawha County?

The headline for the article on the West Virgina News that I took this material from read: “Kanawha County schools faces budget shortfall and jobs loss due to enrollment decline.” It seems as if it has taken quite awhile, decades in fact, since the Textbook Protest in Kanawha County, West Virginia in the mid-1970s over what can only be called pornographic textbooks, for this to happen. But even delayed justice is better than no justice at all.

The article stated, in part: “Over the past decade the school system has lost around 5,000 students, leading to a funding loss for 72 positions.” Continue reading

March 25, 2024: The Continued American INSANITY Will NOT End

Kamala Harris Fell to Her Knees…

When She Found Out Who Her Replacement Might Be!

Why of course she did – How do you think that she got her start?

Even though Joe Biden’s approval numbers are a total dumpster fire, somehow Kamala Harris’ job approval is even worse in the eyes of the majority of the American public.

Joe Biden’s approval ratings sit anywhere between the high 20s and the low 40s, depending on who you ask. It averages out to around the mid-30s when you take all the polls into consideration.

Kamala Harris, on the other hand, usually sits about three to ten points behind Joe Bidens’ – much slower pace, and it calls attention to ambitious EV targets set for the years ahead… (Continue to full article)

Shocking moment TikToker tells followers how to ‘invade’ American homes and invoke squatter’s rights

A Faggoty-Ass Fruitcake is just hollering out his ass-(ets)!

A TikTok influencer is advising his followers on how to ‘invade’ American homes and invoke squatter’s rights, making it difficult for them to be removed from properties.

Leonel Moreno, who goes by @leitooficial_25 online and appears to be a Venezuelan migrant, has told his followers that under US law, ‘if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it’.

He is referring to squatter’s rights, or adverse possession laws – a common law principle that allows an illegal inhabitant to acquire ownership of a property based on continuous occupation without the legal owner’s consent.

Moreno, alleging he has friends who ‘have already taken about seven homes’, argued the only way for migrants to not live in the streets or be a ‘public burden’ is to ‘seize’ and ‘invade’ abandoned properties… (Continue to full article)

What Will the Job of the American Military Be

Riding Herd on American Citizens?

How many have noticed of late that they seem to be calling out the National Guard more and more often? A prime example of this is the National Guard being used in New York City to keep the subway safe.

Perhaps if the city of New York worked a little harder at combatting crime it would not have come to this–but it has. Defunding the police and the growing number of soft-on-crime district attorneys, many of them George Soros wannabees, is somehow not solving the crime problem in America. It was never intended to. It was intended to make the problem worse–and it has.

In the same way, the situation at the border was intentional. The Biden regime wants these illegal aliens (and I will continue to call them that) here because it has certain purposes for them to fulfil, which will become more obvious as time passes. Awhile back Donald Trump made a statement which was probably even more accurate than he realized at the time… (Continue to full article)

Large Migrant Group Pushes Past Texas Military at El Paso Border

A large group of migrants appeared to push their way past Texas National Guard soldiers and razor-wire barriers in an attempt to enter the United States near El Paso on Thursday illegally. The migrants appeared to be stopped by a permanent border barrier after assaulting several guardsmen.

A video posted on X by New York Post journalist Jennie Taer shows a large group of migrants shoving and assaulting members of the Texas National Guard who are defending the border under Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star border security mission. The migrant group eventually broke through the border wire and rushed a permanent border barrier, also manned by guardsmen.

That was the moment when TX National Guard became overrun by migrants rioting to get across the border here in El Paso today… (Continue to full article)

Bill Gates Has Teamed Up With A Fellow Well Named Billionaire…

In Hopes of Ending the Meat Industry

The emergence of lab-grown meat raises intriguing questions in a world that’s becoming increasingly health-conscious and eco-aware. The likes of Bill Gates and Richard Branson have joined forces, touting lab-grown meat as a solution to transform the conventional meat industry. However, we face profound ethical dilemmas as we peer into this scientific endeavor. Is lab-grown meat truly a more ethical or sustainable choice for our diets?

As we navigate the intricate web of lab-grown meat production, we invite you to question whether this approach holds up to scrutiny in pursuing a better, healthier world – but in the scheme of things – Bill Gates doesn’t really care!!! (Continue to full article)

Republicans Livid as Chaos Threatens to Cannibalize House Majority

House Republicans have skipped town for Easter recess with their base enraged, their majority in tatters — and their speaker facing the prospect of a humiliating ouster at the hands of his own MAGA allies.

Why it matters: Dysfunction doesn’t even begin to cover it. The Senate’s passage of a $1.2 trillion spending bill at 2 am ET — narrowly averting a government shutdown — was perhaps the least dramatic development in a historic day on Capitol Hill.

The Republican-led House passed the spending bill just before noon Friday and sent it to the Senate — with more than half the House GOP conference, including many furious hardliners, voting against it.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) — one of those hardliners angry at Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for helping push the bill — introduced a motion to vacate the chair, calling for Johnson’s removal. Her move threatens to trigger the same type of vote that ended the career of his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy… (Continue to full article)

Truth IS Stranger Than Fiction: The Racist Roots of Gun Control

He’s been with us from the beginning!

~ Foreword ~
March 23, 2024 ~ Every so often, we are inclined to go back to the ‘roots’ of the Federal Observer, and with today’s posting, and due to the overwhelming controversy over the next generation of gun-grab attempts, the time has come to repost this lengthy column once again. It has now been just over ten years since we brought the following back to the Front Page, yet given what is going on in Virginia and other states today – it’s time for review is past due.

Once again, due to the age of this column (November 2002) some or all of the embedded links may no longer be active. Due your own due-diligence.

To straighten out the un-enlighted reader – Mr. Whitley is not the author of “The Racist Roots of Gun Control”. He is however the author of the introduction and the closing comments. Our thanks to Mr. Clayton E. Cramer – the author of the main body of this text. We suggest that the NAACP (an organization who seems to have no intention of allowing their ‘people’ to be advanced for anything) – read and study – and then know their own history. (NOTE: Some of the embedded links within this publication may no longer be active.)

It would seem, the NAACP is willing to sellout the black race by withholding the truth in exchange for a few bucks in a civil case – and may even be willing to go so far as to threaten others of their own race if they try to reveal historical facts dealing with racism if it interferes with their cash-flow. The path the NAACP has taken is…well, as they say, “follow the money” (and the truth be damned).
