Smith: America’s Shared Vision No Longer Exists!

This Is Me. THIS is What I Leave Behind

                       The Last Judgment – Gustave Doré (1832 – 1883)

I’ve lived my life with a vitality and an intensity, that I’m always in constant amazement that I haven’t burned and crashed like a moth that just flew into the flames. At times, it felt as though I was about to break myself apart, as I threw myself completely into every important battle on multiple fronts and every major issue of the day, but at least I fought – at least You fought, Jeff, along with so many other of our kindred spirits and fellow Americans. And I lived a life worth living – at least for me it was.

It should go without saying, each American has the freedom, the right and the obligation to rebel and fight against those evils that would destroy our freedom and rights, to fight against everything that is cruel in this world, but in today’s reality with education such as it is and in tatters, I find myself repeating this very thing at least once a week, if not each day, in order that some young person’s mind might grasp hold of the notion and grow to understand its meaning. For our freedom is meaningless, nothing in fact, without our right to fight for it and defend it intact.

And it’s a very personal thing for every American to choose at a time that may make their choice an easy thing – to rise up and hang the traitors from tall trees. Especially all those who had the slightest hand in the Biden regime’s Open Border treason against America. Continue reading

There’s No Reason for the Department of Education to Exist

The freakout over President Donald Trump‘s executive order instructing the administration to begin eliminating the Department of Education has nothing to do with learning or teaching. It has everything to do with the Left’s dream of centralizing education and indoctrinating children with trendy, progressive cultural values.

Indeed, it’s unlikely that most people are even aware that the Education Department has virtually nothing to do with their local schools. It doesn’t provide funding for the buildings, textbooks, or teacher salaries. Nearly 90% of all K–12 public school spending comes from state and local sources.

What the federal government does is fund some low-income schools and special-education needs, money that can be easily meted out by the Treasury Department. Or, even better, it’s money that can be block-granted to states to administer as they see fit. Continue reading

Supreme Court Rules Alien Enemies Act Deportations By Trump Administration Can Resume

The Supreme Court blocked a district court judge’s order barring the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, making the ruling as lawyers of some of the migrants sent away from the U.S. say their clients have no criminal records.

The Supreme Court said in a filing U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who is based in Washington, D.C., should not have handled the case because the deportation flights at the center of the dispute originated in Texas. Continue reading

Nostradamus Predicts New World Order

In today’s turbulent times, it seems as though world leaders are constantly at odds with each other, leading to conflicts that have global implications. Nostradamus, the famed French seer and astrologer, has long been known for his prophetic visions of the future. Could his predictions offer insight into the current state of affairs and the potential for a new world order to emerge? Continue reading

Hickman: China ~ I See Your Trade War and Raise You a Cyberwar

It was sometime in the spring of 323 BC when Alexander the Great – the “King of the World” – passed through the gates of ancient Babylon for the last time.

He had already conquered the city nearly a decade before. But his men were worn out from fighting in India and Persia, and Babylon was a secure place to give his army a much-needed rest.

They remained there for a few months, until, quite suddenly, Alexander became extremely ill on either the 10th or 11th of June and then died.

The cause of his death is unknown. Some say he was poisoned. Others blame malaria, typhoid fever, or complications from his battle wounds.

What is certain, however, is that he left behind no legitimate male heir, as his wife was still pregnant at the time of his death. So almost immediately a power struggle broke out as to who would succeed him. Continue reading

I’m Mad As Hell And I’m Not Going To Take It Anymore!

October 16, 2001 ~ That’s it! I’m finished – finished with all of the stupidity and apathy in this nation! Alright, we’ve been kicked – but we’re not down! But dammit, when is America and her sheeple going to wake up to that fact? If this is war – then let”s start acting like it!

No, I don”t mean by running back to the movies and the ball games – although all of us need a break – I mean by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps (if you young punks even know what I”m talking about) and getting about the business of BEING Americans! Continue reading

What In the World Has Happened To The America We Grew Up In?

It has been but just a few months since I put pen to paper and wrote and posted the following, and yet it seems to grow in importance with each passing day. Read it for the first time, or read it again. The end draws near. People, get ready… ~ Ed.

To Granny and Cat…

April 9, 2019 ~ I have been in a state of proverbial ‘funk’ for nearly a year now. You’ll remember last July when I had made the decision to shut down Federal Observer after seventeen years of publication – only to slowly change gears for God knows what reason. Over these past nine-plus months, the site – although looking much the same – has taken new directions – or in some cases readdressing old topics – which still drive me to this day. I’ll not draw you a map today – you may review the site on your own time and come to your own conclusion… and that is where I stand at this point – conclusions – or more specifically – the Conclusion of this once great nation. MAGA? Forget it – it will never happen. We near the end of the journey. Continue reading

I am an Arizona resident…

May 3, 2010 ~ To begin with, I applaud Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and the 2009-2010 State Legislation for doing the job, that the Federal Government won’t to do (Hmmmmmm – where did I come up that line???), establishing the rule of law in Arizona. Governor Brewer’s predecessor, and, now Secretary of Homeland “Security” in Washington DeCeipt, wouldn’t do the job, while she served in our state as Federal Prosecutor, and as Governor. Maybe it’s time to replace Napolitano with someone who will do the job that she won’t do. I’ll not cry out, “Come back Shane. Come back!” We don’t want her here.

Let’s see now, if anyone in Arizona (and the rest of the nation, for that matter) are pulled over for a traffic violation, the law-enforcement person, will ask for your driver’s license, your registration, and your proof of insurance. Hmmmmm – good beginning. Continue reading

Bennett: War, What is it good for? Absolutely NOTHING!

There are times then I find it worthwhile to republish an old column that I wrote – back a long time ago. Why? To show off? NO – to show that little has changed in this nation or around the world. It has only gotten worse.

What you are about to read is quite dated – but it shows that we are living in circles these days. I will assume that I wrote and posted this piece nearly 20 years ago on the first generation Federal Observer. Tell me what has changed! ~ Jeffrey Bennett, Editor

Can you explain this to me? As I rocked my granddaughter to sleep the other night, I wept for this little girl. Second thoughts anyone? No child of any deserves this!

The following email was received by The Federal Observer in response to a picture depicting a dead child, mutilated, with her foot dangling… Continue reading

Going Faster And Faster: The Acceleration Of Decline

There are times in the 27 years that I have maintained a series of websites, that the time goes by that I choose to republish and article that has something to SAY. The following was published July 15, 2002 on the original Federal Observer, in the category, ‘Village of the Damned‘ (so named for Hillary Clintons’ reference to “It takes a Village to raise a child.”) No thanks ma’am – leave our children in the hands of their parents. ~ Editor

Get your children OUT of the System – NOW

One must be careful in remembering better days. Memory presents an improving mirror, smoothing rough edges of rougher times, giving a warm glow to things that were less roseate when they happened. Like a good editor, it revises things for the better. Thus one recalls, or half-imagines, the idyllic boyhood in Mississippi, the favorite grove where one played in the slanting afternoon sunlight that probably wasn’t as golden as one recalls, with childhood companion who perhaps weren’t as admirable as they now seem. One forgets, or half forgets, the drunken parents and the poverty and hookworm. And so one must tread cautiously when pondering a past in which all things were better, cleaner, and purer. Yet…yet sometimes things were better, and sometimes things do decay. Sometimes a society does go from better to bad to worse. I wonder. Continue reading

The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America: How They Stole Our Children’s Minds and How We Take Them Back

For generations, America produced innovators, inventors, and independent thinkers—people who challenged authority, built industries, and made this country the most powerful force in the world. But today? The average high school graduate can barely read at an eighth-grade level, lacks basic financial literacy, and has no clue how their own government works. This wasn’t an accident. It was designed.

Through a series of calculated decisions – removing civics, gutting traditional academics, replacing knowledge with indoctrination – they have deliberately dumbed us down. And the most infuriating part? We paid for our own destruction through taxpayer-funded education, massive teachers’ unions, and globalist influence over curriculum.

This is the blueprint of how they did it – and how we break the cycle. Continue reading

Bill Gates Says AI Will Replace Doctors, Teachers Within 10 Years — and Claims Humans Won’t Be Needed ‘For Most Things’

Bill Gates predicted that advancements in artificial intelligence will significantly reduce humanity’s role in many traditional tasks such as medicine and education — and the seismic shift could happen in less than 10 years.

During a recent interview with comedian Jimmy Fallon on NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” the Microsoft co-founder described a future where humans are no longer necessary “for most things” because AI technology will readily perform tasks that currently require specialized human skills.

Today, expertise in fields such as medicine and education remains “rare,” Gates said, adding that those areas depend on “a great doctor” or “a great teacher.”

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates says that advancements in artificial intelligence will eventually negate the need for doctors and teachers. Continue reading

The healthcare industry is facing a growing crisis as more doctors leave their jobs, citing burnout, financial pressures, and changing work environments. Physician shortages are becoming a concern, impacting patient care and healthcare access. Here are four key reasons why doctors are leaving their professions at an alarming rate. Continue reading

Smith: It’s Time to Impeach These Commie Rat Bastard Judges or Just Hang ‘Em High!

Nothing in the Constitution has given them [the federal judges] a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the Executive to decide for them. . . . The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves, in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.” ~ Thomas Jefferson’s letter to Abigail Adams, September 11th 1804

The U.S. Judiciary and our court system at every level has undergone a metamorphosis throughout the last six decades that has it resembling something one is more likely to find in a Third World Banana Republic or the old Soviet Union rather than in America, a country where Justice was once thought to be blind and our courts actually used to work to protect America and Her people instead of protecting Her enemies as we witness today. I am sickened to the depths of a country outhouse’s manure pit to know that there are thousands of men just like Judge James Boasberg who are all too willing to betray their oath to the Constitution [flawed and damaged at it already is] and America as if it is of no more consequence than their morning dump on the toilet.

The American people could make this change pretty damned quick, if they would only start exacting a real, meaningful, hard consequence from these rat bastards. And should they remain incalcitrant from doing the right thing for America, they should be made to suffer severe consequences, first by way of exhausting all legal means and finally dangling at the end of a rope handled by the rightfully angry American patriots who have long grown tired of witnessing their country taken apart little by little and piece by piece, while their own friends and family members are made to suffer by way of these traitors’ anti-American actions and Machiavellian mechanisms.

Dickens: Treasonous America? “It Can’t Happen Here…”

It Can’t Happen Here! ~ Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention… (1966)

I chose this piece precisely because of the intentional discord and how it typifies the dissonance in our republic, particularly in Congress, the opposite of progress.

America will never be a Socialist or Communist country.” ~ Donald J Trump… 2016

It can’t happen here…

Well, guess what campers… It did… Continue reading

Smith: There’s No Such Thing as “Hate Speech”; There’s Only Free Speech in America

It would be beyond fantastic and amazing, if everyone in America could get along whether they have political differences or not, but unfortunately there have been a multitude of people in our country who have strived to divide and conquer by way of coalitions of minorities in all areas of all issues, and E Pluribus Unum be damned. It’s simply not our reality in modern day United States, and it looks like it’s going to remain this way for quite some time. Continue reading
