Railroad Supervisor Sam Holland – Witness to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy

Samuel “Skinny” M. Holland worked for the Union Terminal Railroad as a Signal supervisor for railroad track and track signals. Mr. Holland watched the motorcade of President John F. Kennedy from the overpass in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. He said when Kennedy was shot he saw a puff of gunsmoke under the branches of a tree on the grassy knoll. ”There was definitively a shot fired from behind that picket fence, and I can’t see how they could doubt that a 4th shot was fired I saw the smoke and heard the report from behind that fence..I was on the spot“….

Secret Service Agent Who Was With JFK on Day of His Assassination Breaks Silence With Claim That Blows Up the ‘Magic Bullet’ Theory and Suggests There WAS More Than One Shooter

A former Secret Service agent who was present at President John F. Kennedy’s assassination has come forward with a new claim that would debunk the ‘magic bullet’ theory and raises questions about whether there was a second shooter.

Paul Landis, 88, broke his silence on Saturday, nearly 60 years after Kennedy was shot dead in a motorcade passing through Dallas, to share his bombshell recollection with the New York Times.

Landis, who in 1963 was a young Secret Service agent assigned to protect First Lady Jaqueline Kennedy, said that in the chaos following the shooting, he picked up a nearly pristine bullet sitting on the top of the back seat of the open limousine. Continue reading

Holmquist: The Amish Plan for Better Schools

Lessons from the Amish on how to bring education back to the heart of the family.

Imagine it’s a beautiful fall day. You’re whizzing down country roads, enjoying the vibrant colors of red and yellow maples, when suddenly, a bright-orange triangle catches your eye. Slamming on the brakes, you realize that an Amish buggy is just ahead, and you curiously crane your neck, hoping for a glimpse of the plainly clad individuals inside.

Alas, your vehicle’s slowed pace leaves you little more than a glimpse of them, and you speed on, glad you’re heading back to modernity and its conveniences rather than stuck behind a horse. Continue reading

Shekels With Shackles”: The United Nations Plan To Control Your Children’s Education

Most of you didn’t notice that the United Nations has plans for how your children are educated, did you? Well, you are not supposed to realize this and if your kids are still in public school you will probably never discover this. Even if your kids are in a private school or being homeschooled, the United Nations, the world’s foremost busybody organization, has a consuming interest in how you educate your children. The fact that it’s none of their darn business is beside the point. They plan on making it their business. Continue reading

Non-Compos Mentis

The literal definition of this Latin phrase is Not sane or not in one’s right mind:

Classically, not having control of one’s mind.

It was first used in thirteenth-century English law to describe people afflicted by madness, the loss of memory, or the ability to reason.

My interpretation…

No Compass, Means Us…

I constantly wonder about the absurd and foundering America I see today. All reason and intelligence appear to be discarded, or we’ve intentionally abandoned using good sense and logic. We seem emotionally driven, guided more by feelings than intellect.

Did we utterly legislate or litigate reason into obscurity using “the end justifies the means” as our rationale? Continue reading

We the Exploited: The U.S. Government Buys and Sells Its Citizens for Profit and Power

Americans have become easy prey for hackers, scammers, snitches, spies, and con artists.

But don’t be fooled into thinking the government is protecting you.

To the contrary, the U.S. government is selling us (or rather, our data) to the highest bidders.

By the way, those highest bidders also include America’s political class and the politicians aspiring to get elected or re-elected. As the Los Angeles Times reports, “If you have been to a political rally, a town hall, or just fit a demographic a campaign is after, chances are good your movements are being tracked with unnerving accuracy by data vendors on the payroll of campaigns.”

Your phones, televisions and digital devices are selling you out to politicians who want your vote. Continue reading

THE BIRDS

Apologies to Alfred Hitchcock

To his country’s detriment as well as his own, Volodymyr Zelensky is digging in his heels. He refuses to admit his war is hopeless. His spring counteroffensive was a failure. Boys and old men are being tossed into the meat grinder. Ukraine cannot sustain its huge casualty rate and expect to survive. Russia is clearly going to win the war, but Zelensky refuses to start peace negotiations. Zelensky will be removed one way or another – either by Russia or its own rebelling populace. Continue reading

Kunstler: Party, Party!

Of course, you already sense that the 2024 election will be a freaky event, if it happens at all. If it’s not America’s last election altogether, it may be the last one that follows the traditional format that has signified stability in our country’s high tide as a great power: that is, a contest between Republicans and Democrats. Both parties are likely to crash and burn in the year ahead, along with a whole lot of other things on the tottering scaffold of normal life. Continue reading

U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Ralph Jim Chipman was the pilot of an A-6A Intruder when he and his crew went missing into darkness nearly 51 years ago flying a mission during the Vietnam War .

Considered missing in action and then later deemed killed in war, Chipman’s remains were found and identified three months ago. Now, he’s coming home.

Chipman’s remains will return to his native Utah on Saturday for a final resting place — flanked by family members, first responders and others for a Veterans Day memorial.

“After 50 years the day our family has been waiting for has finally come!” Scot Chipman, his son, said, according to KSLN. “Our family wants to thank all of those that have made this day possible.” Continue reading

The Truth About Scholastic

A Christian activist and author says a popular company that’s been supplying kids with reading material for decades is also responsible for the pornographic books in their school libraries.

Kirk Cameron has lately been traveling to public libraries across the country to counter drag queen story hours by reading kids his Christian books. In that journey, he says, he has realized there is more work to be done.

According to the former TV star, Scholastic, the company that has been providing books to kids since the ’40s and holding book fairs since the early ’80s, is responsible for many of the controversial and pornographic books that can now be found in many U.S. school libraries.

It has adopted a recurring pattern of sexualized content in recent years and last month pledged to “redouble” its efforts to “combat the laws restricting children’s access” to pornographic books.

“You really can’t get away from them if your kids are going to school,” he laments. “This stuff is pervasive. They’re not just a thousand-pound gorilla in the space of children’s books; they are children’s books.” Continue reading

Smith: The Continued Invasion of America Subverts Our Society

Illegal Aliens Demand “the Right” to Invade America

America’s borders are being breached and the country invaded by hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens each month, which constitutes an attack on our country, especially when one sees all the cross-border violence engaged in by the drug cartels that has left much of the U.S. Southern Border beyond the control of the U.S. government. And it is the direct result of an intentional policy employed by the Biden regime and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, traitor to America, that has utilized law enforcement personnel and National Guardsmen to facilitate the processing and release of these illegal aliens into the country rather than stop them from crossing over, and as such, Joe Biden and all those who do his bidding in this matter have violated U.S. immigration law and committed a criminal act on such a grand scale that it is tantamount to treason.

Controlling the People Is What They’re After

A public policy analyst says the Biden administration is looking to pull off its most brazen power grab to date.

Under the banner of “preventing digital discrimination,” the Biden administration wants the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to take over the internet, or at least the American service providers that bring it to the public. Continue reading

Wooldridge: What About the Corruption-Incompetence in Washington DC?

The sheer magnitude of incompetence and corruption in Washington DC makes this journalist sick to my stomach weekly. It’s almost beyond comprehension of what’s going on with those 535 Congressional Critters. What are they doing and why are they screwing up/destroying our country to this degree in 2023?

Not to mention, we endure our president of the United States who shakes hands with the air, must be led off stage by his wife, who doesn’t know where he is or what day of the week it is, let alone the location of Israel on a map. He doesn’t write his speeches. He can’t remember what he’s talking about as he mumbles along with the aid of a teleprompter. Whomever writes his speeches is the one running our country.

Smith: Farewell to “E Pluribus Unum

Years later and here we are … still having to fight our government to get them to do the right thing and seal and secure our borders.

                                                             So Long E. P. UNUM – It’s been a Swell Ride!

Illegal immigration is sounding the death knell for our nation, but legal immigration has been just as destructive to our societal fiber. Legal or illegal, it’s just a fact that a majority of immigrants haven’t completely assimilated, or even wanted to assimilate and integrate into society. They are perfectly happy operating on the edges of society, within their own circles of influence and whatever microcosm has sprung up around their culture and their brethren. Continue reading

Benson: Andrew McCarthy Nailed Biden

Recently, Andrew McCarthy, on his podcast, really nailed what China Joe Biden actually is. There was an article about this on “National Review,” a publication I don’t always agree with because there are many things they could report but don’t mostly. This time, however, they got something right.

The National Review staff wrote: “On the latest of his podcase, ‘The McCarthy Report’ National Review Institute fellow Andy McCarthy reacted to the revelation that Joe Biden’s brother, James, wrote him a $40,000 check when a $400,000 payment from a Chinese concern came in. ‘It’s 10 percent for the big guy,’ he said.” Continue reading

Stop Drinking the Political Kool-Aid, America: Voting Will Not Save Us

“We’ve got to face it. Politics have entered a new stage, the television stage. Instead of long-winded public debates, the people want capsule slogans – ‘Time for a change’ – ‘The mess in Washington’ – ‘More bang for a buck’ – punch lines and glamour.”A Face in the Crowd (1957)

We are one year out from the 2024 presidential election and as usual, the American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us.

Yet what is being staged is not an election.

It’s a con game, a scam, a grift, a hustle, a bunko, a swindle, a flimflam, a gaffle, and a bamboozle, and “we the people” are nothing more than marks, suckers, stooges, mugs, rubes, or gulls.

We’re being duped into believing that this mockery of a choice between two candidates who are equally unfit for office actually translates to having some say in how the government is run. Continue reading

Nostradamus Predicts The Antichrist And Next World War

Nostradamus, a 16th-century figure of fascination, is known for his ability to predict the future. Some of his prophecies are believed to have foreseen major events in the 20th and 21st centuries, including the rise of Adolf Hitler. However, skeptics argue that these interpretations could be coincidences, as Nostradamus’ writings are ambiguous and open to various explanations.

The ongoing pandemic has renewed interest in Nostradamus’ predictions. Some believe that his mentions of “great pestilence” and “plagues” predicted the current global health crisis. However, it is important to remember that his visions were often cryptic and symbolic, making direct connections to specific events difficult. Continue reading

Smith: America’s Political Earthquake Looms Over the Horizon

…and Patriotic Americans Must Answer a Call to Duty

The HELL with this damned U.S. government – this pure spectacle of a near totalitarian Leviathan – and God save America, this amazing and beautiful land so many of us love so well.

I love America more than anything in the world, next to my family and my liberty, but only in the sense of Her physical and geographical beauty and what She has been in the past, what I know She can be again. There’s much to love about America of old and the virtues and principles that guided good and decent men and women to declare their independence and bring Her into being, shaping a national character based on freedom and liberty for all, that was in fact exceptional and heads above anything ever before seen across the globe, in the entire history of all mankind. But those good people’s legacy has been soiled and disgraced over the past century by men and women who have embraced evil, death and tyranny over the Inalienable God-given Rights early Americans understood belonged to everyone, no matter the times.
