Editor’s NOTE: Today is June 29, 2025. In a matter of days, many of us will remember what the date July 4th once represented – Independence Day. There is little meaning of it anymore. In simple terms – America Must Be Cleansed and Purified Through the Fires of Civil War. Please join us on the Federal Observer for this very special column from Justin O. Smith. ~ Jeffrey Bennett, Editor
I hate like hell to always write what I myself see as such negative pieces, but as badly as I wanted to write something positive and hopeful to honor the 250th anniversary of America winning Her independence from Great Britain, there was very little for me to draw from over the past two or three decades even, to suggest our people were still aligned with those beautiful principles that made it all possible.
The American people have become so unbelievably weak, overall, from my perspective, that it blows one’s mind to think that these are descendants of people who took on superior forces and great odds to fight to be free. The vast majority can’t even put down the Cheeto bag or take their fat ass up and off the couch to take out the week’s garbage, much less make any real stand and fight for true freedom and liberty for all; the vast majority doesn’t even seem to really care if tyranny wins the day and a king takes hold, so long as they don’t have to truly be independent or do anything harder than push a few buttons on a cash register each day, or go to Walmart to use their EBT card to get a week’s worth of groceries.
Yes, I know there are still many great young people out there who have been taught at home by their parents, that there isn’t any substitute for self-reliance and real knowledge and skills. Many will suggest I am being far too critical, but I really don’t believe I am, not when we see so many way far left communists being put up today as candidates for many public offices across the nation and crowds of Millennials and GenZers are cheering them on as if it’s always been a totally normal thing to support communism in America. As this population grows and rises into an ascendant and ever more powerful position, it cannot bode anything other than one of the most unsettling, dangerous situations America will ever again face.
Win, lose or draw, no matter what MAGA and Trump do over the next three and a half years, this country is headed for civil war, because its enemies have grown too large and powerful, with backing and support from communists abroad too, that it will not be contained or properly restrained, in order that the country may function properly.
Our enemies-from-within have had a real taste of the power they craved under Obama and Biden, and they are not about to cease and desist or stand down now in regard to their well-known, oft stated agenda to fundamentally transform America and destroy our republic.
I’m actually not too much against ending the republic as it now stands, given that it is in such a miserable, bastardized state, just as long as something better is standing in the wings ready to take its place – a new way forward that places individual liberty above the needs and demands of government, where freedom actually means freedom and one’s home cannot be taken from them by anyone for any reason once it’s paid for in full – where states can’t pass illegal laws to erode and subvert our rights as set forth in the Bill of Rights – and where we truly are free to pursue life, liberty and happiness in every meaningful, righteous manner known to man.
Join me here on July 4th…
Illegal Immigration & Sanctuary Cities
If you remember the Disney version of “Peter Pan”, you may well remember the Island’s name, Neverland. If you were raising children in the late 80s and throughout the 90s, you may recall the commercial from ToysRus. The line from the jingle was “I don’t want to grow up, I’m a ToysRus kid.” In many ways, we’ve seen our culture promote delayed childhood.
Social Security is the bedrock of the American retirement system. Although it was never intended to fully cover the expenses of retirees, many Americans unfortunately find themselves in this situation. But with an average monthly retirement payout of just $1,980.86 as of February 2025, according to the Social Security Administration, the idea of privatizing Social Security has reared its head once again.
As the Republican-led Congress pushes forward with President Donald Trump’s landmark 2025 mega tax bill, you may have noticed that a key campaign promise is, so far, noticeably absent.
I do believe I will scream if I hear one more idiot tout the wonders of A.I. and the TransHuman, post-human world they intend to create.
Seventy years after President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned about the cost of a military-industrial complex, America is still stealing from its own people to fund a global empire.
Over 5 Million Patients Affected!
The tunnel connected Tijuana and San Diego and was almost 3,000 feet long.
As the Biden-era border chaos is being unraveled, the legacy media is now targeting Trump administration veterans like Stephen Miller – those who are actually making the immigration system work again.
VA nurses warn that veteran care could deteriorate even if frontline workers are exempt from layoffs. “When you lay off support staff, our jobs get harder.”
I would say I have never seen more collective confusion, and emotion-driven, unproductive, though self-congratulating drivel. But I have. It has become a distinctive of the left.
Too many Americans always assume that intelligent people have everyone’s best interests at heart and that any technologies and notions they advance and advocate in the name of “Progress” will solve all of the people’s difficulties and social ills without causing any pain, and yet over the past few decades the consequences of illiberal “liberalism” and the “progress” attained by it has reveal the exact opposite. If it their ideas bring great benefit to others, they really don’t care, just as they don’t care if they bring great harm, so long as their needs and agenda are ultimately met and fulfilled. 
Many Americans are stuck living paycheck to paycheck, and it’s not just because they don’t make enough money. While low wages and the rising cost of living are factors, Reddit users recently shared a much broader picture of the problem, revealing how complex and widespread the issue really is. 
Every aspect of our society is targeted – from our money supply, to the energy system, to our food supply, to the education system, to the sanctity of our own home – to the very system of freedom created by our founders. It’s all under attack.
