DeWeese: Farmland Lost is Farmland Lost Forever

“Farmland lost is farmland lost forever.” That catchy phrase is a popular slogan distributed by the Virginia-based land trust called the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC). While it’s an accurate statement, apparently, the PEC and its like-minded Green brethren are only concerned about losing vital farmland to housing developers. Meanwhile, thousands of farmers and ranchers are losing their industries to radical environmental policies supported and promoted by such groups. Obviously, hypocrisy runs deep in the leftist Green movement.

However, farmland is under attack across the nation, mainly under the guise of climate change and environmental protection. Let’s review some of the main threats America’s farmers are facing. Continue reading

Leibowitz: Maricopa County court system gives hardened killer a break

The pre-sentencing report for Anthony Gushee, convicted drug dealer, gunman, cold-blooded killer, runs 14 pages in all. It reads like some crappy Hollywood crime show.

Gushee, 47, has spent life drugging, dealing, offending victimizing. The report from Maricopa County’s Adult Probation Departments cites juvenile arrests and “six known misdemeanor convictions, four of which are violent.”

It also details how Gushee was convicted twice in 2003 on felony drug charges — and that’s before we get to this scumbag’s 2019 violent crime spree in Mesa, which takes up most of the pre-sentence report. Continue reading

The News Media’s Blurring of Migrants May be Hiding More Than Just Faces

If you’ve watched the news lately, you may have noticed that a lot of the images of migrants are blurred, but not all of them. Some news media will blur, and some will not. It can be a contentious issue and an especially confusing one.

There are a number of reasons why the news media may decide to blur the images of the migrants. Let’s explore a few of them… Continue reading

Breakfast at the Hipster Cafe’

I met a friend for a bit of brekky at a Hipster joint on 40th Street and Camelback in Phoenix, AZ.

I always arrive early to scope the place. Since it was early and the joint was empty, I thought I snagged a table and enjoyed a cup of coffee.

As I opened my car door, I was assaulted by LOUD modern music thumping in the outdoor patio dining area and blasting away in the indoor dining area.

SO LOUD I felt the music. Continue reading

Miles to go Before I Sleep

The following is a column that I wrote over twenty years ago, and although much has changed in those years – much has remained the same. There are times that I find it worthwhile to bring this column back to the front once more.  Can ya’ dig it? ~ Editor

January 24, 2003 ~ I guess that I’ve felt this coming on for several months, continual headaches, accelerated heart rate after eating, multiple naps throughout the day, anger, frustration… you know the routine.

Did I have cancer, heart disease or just oldfartitus disease? I didn’t know, yet as with most men of my age bracket, I guess that I didn’t really want to know. By last Thursday night, I was so ill that I couldn’t sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time. My whole body was sore with muscular contractions, aching stomach and lower back pain – diarrhea was now becoming an hourly occurrence. Continue reading

What Charles Ponzi’s Scheme and US Entitlement Programs Have in Common

The structure of Charles Ponzi’s scheme must have impressed the policy makers coming of age in the 1930s, because they would use the same structure for the nation’s new Social Security system.

When Charles Ponzi’s investment opportunity to sell international postage stamps was exposed to be a scam in 1920, its basic premise would forever be associated with the man’s name. A Ponzi Scheme promises investors massive returns on an investment that does not really exist. Instead, unknown to everyone but the person or people running it, old investors are paid with money that comes in from new investors. This set up usually goes undetected until the one day when the well of new investors dries up and the money stops flowing in. Continue reading

Benson: Legitimizing Perversion ~ Sodomy on the Potomac

I tuned in to the 7 p.m. (here) timeslot on Fox News recently, the first time I’ve done so since Fox decided Tucker Carlson was giving us too much truth and let him go. That night, Harris Faulkner was the emcee and while not Tucker, she didn’t do too bad all things considered. Ms. Faulkner seems to be a Christian lady and last night part of her presentation dealt with why this country is headed in the wrong direction spiritually. No sane person could argue with her viewpoint. She noted America’s greatness, but also noted that we are going the wrong way at this point.

Part of our problem, though not all of it, is the current regime in Sodomy on the Potomac. The Biden Regime has legitimized perversion and renamed it “equity and inclusion.” Continue reading

Benson: Don’t Condemn Whites For What You Did Yourselves!

If one were foolish enough to believe sanctimonious leftist loonies he would think the institution of slavery started in the American South in 1619 as a way for nasty white Southerners to oppress blacks and for no other reason. Thankfully, such leftist drivel is far from the truth, though not nearly enough people today realize that, thanks to the balderdash that is passed off as history in most public schools. Continue reading

Adrift? No Longer…

While enjoying my morning routine of coffee and headlines, profound apprehensions plague me, knowing we’re lost and foundering. Not only as a republic but as a society. Is this awareness the new normal? Is it what we endure and where we abide? Or will we alter our course before this sinking ship of state drags us all under?

It may be too late.

I’m looking for similes and corollaries, but all I can find is space – as in the universe, but I imagine the ocean, standing at the shore, wondering what’s on the other side. We know the sea is finite; it’s a massive depression in the earth filled with water. On the other hand, as Einstein postulates, “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.” Continue reading

Smith: White Children ~ Indoctrinated to Hate Their Roots

I would never have been as conscious of racial differences growing up if so much hadn’t always been made of it all. I was taught at home to worry not about the color of anyone’s skin and simply take them according to how they treated me and whether or not they were trustworthy, honorable persons of integrity, in essence, judge them “by the content of their character”.

But it’s a whole new world out there today, with blacks and hispanics and every other race that might have a grudge against White America recently empowered and emboldened by the Biden regime’s own race-baiting stance and it’s own self-loathing and expressed hatred for White People, especially White Christians in America.

I could give two hoots in hell about a man’s color, and I sure as hell can’t help that I was born white as Casper the Ghost, but I’ll be damned and go down taking a body count, before I let myself or any of my white family members be murdered simply for the “crime” of being white. Continue reading

Parents, Plan Your Escape From Public Schools

With math and reading scores lower than they’ve ever been recorded, a researcher says the American education system has received another disappointing report card.

The math scores for the lowest performing students hit levels last seen in the 1970s, while their reading scores were actually lower than the first year the data was collected, in 1971.

According to federal data, average scores for 13-year-olds declined four points in reading and nine points in math. Pandemic lockdowns carry much of the blame, but David Randall of the National Association of Scholars says the Biden administration has not helped. Continue reading

The Tree of Liberty Is DYING

The Tree of Liberty is rotting and dying where She once grew strong and vibrant, from a lack of care and watering with the blood of tyrants and patriots, while the American system has already grown rotten and corrupt to its very core, thanks to America’s enemies from within and a largely apathetic, complacent or complicit American population and a people who have become unimaginably corrupt. And, it surely leaves those of us who still love America wondering what is preventing millions of good and decent freedom-loving, liberty-loving conservative and independent Americans from taking to the streets in a furor of civil unrest, seeking out our country’s traitors with lengths of rope, piano wire and rifles in our hands. Continue reading

Biden’s CBP One ‘Legal’ Entry Scheme: Both Illegal and National Security Danger

(July 4, 2023) – Border security is national security – not just at the long stretches between ports of entry, but at the legal crossing points as well.

Andrew Arthur, a Center for Immigration Studies fellow with long experience at the intersection of immigration law and national security, has written a piece on the security implications of the Biden administration’s CBP One entry scheme for inadmissible aliens. Continue reading

Independence Day? Half of America Doesn’t Even Know the Meaning of the Word.

I didn’t much feel like celebrating anything this year, and I especially don’t feel like celebrating this national holiday that really means next to nothing today, as I see it. I don’t know … You may see it differently for reasons I’m missing, but the overall situation of America today has just sickened me, and I find it hard to believe that this is where we’ve come, despite all the checks and balances provided for in the Constitution.

But then again, our downfall can be explained through the Founders’ own words. They oft stated that our Constitution was designed to be exerted and applied by a moral people and society, and short of staying close to our Christian and Western principles and God, they noted it would fail. Continue reading

The GREAT AWAKENING…

A Newly produced film which lasts for over an hour and a half – but you WILL understand it all. This film producer has finally awoken!

THIS is what we are dealing with – and the end is forthcoming – UNLESS we WAKE UP – NOW

Traitor to the Constitution: The U.S. Government Is the REAL Criminal

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable.” ~ H.L. Mencken

And so it continues…

This entire fiasco – indicting Donald Trump for allegedly violating both the Espionage Act and obstructing justice by improperly handling classified records – is merely the latest in a never-ending series of distractions, distortions, and political theater aimed at diverting the public’s attention from the sinister advances of the American Deep State.

Don’t allow yourselves to be distracted, diverted or mesmerized by the cheap theater tricks.

This indictment spectacle is Shakespearean in its scope: full of sound and fury, signifying NOTHING. Continue reading

Dragnet – The Big Departure Speech

The famous clip aired on March 7, 1968, and revolves around Sergeant Joe Friday and Officer Bill Gannon, his partner. They face daily challenges at work and deal with critical questions, such as race riots, LSD, you name it. Continue reading
