Recently while driving from town to my house, I was running through some radio stations when I landed on the Glenn Beck show. His guest was Lara Logan, a journalist and commentator unfamiliar to me, and I was sickened and horrified by what I heard. I wish I were exaggerating, but what that woman had to say left me depressed for the rest of the day.
We are being invaded – and not just by illegal immigrants. Continue reading
August in the Southwest is storm season. Heavy downpours, raucous thunder, flashing lightning, and tree toppling winds punctuate late nights and very early mornings.
Torrential rain usually follows the cacophony. It washes away the accumulated grit of the previous day, refreshing the desert. Now everything looks green and new. It all seems to sparkle at daybreak.
A thunderclap partially awakens me and our small herd of rescued dogs, uncomfortable with these emphatic interruptions of our peaceful environment. I awaken and begin reflecting on the maelstrom in the media cesspool – So much information to sift and collate and so much to disregard. Continue reading
We are passing an important landmark for abortions in this country since Harry Blackmun helped determine that fetuses had no rights. Sixty two million fetuses have had their tenure in this life terminated since he wrote Roe vs. Wade.
For everyone’s review here is a brief list with descriptions of the major techniques that are used.
First is the suction aspiration, or “vacuum curettage. A suction tube with a sharp cutting edge is inserted into the uterus through the dilated cervix. The suction dismembers the body of the developing baby and tears the placenta from the wall of the uterus, sucking blood, amniotic fluid, placental tissue, and fetal parts into a collection bottle for disposal.

American leadership has lost the “Can Do” attitude and the will to stand strong in the face of adversity and overwhelming odds. But the odds aren’t really even against Biden’s regime in this case, and still they beg to be defeated.
I’ve never witnessed anything like this in my life and it makes me sick to my stomach, disgusted and angrier than I can say. Hard to fathom what the next three years and four months will hold for us under this American hating, weak and feckless “government” we are forced to endure for now,
Let’s hope and pray that the last words our fellow Americans hear aren’t “Allahu Akbar” as they try to escape Afghanistan. Continue reading
Americans who have taken COVID vaccine shots and those who have refused to capitulate to the coercion and propaganda are ill-informed about vaccine-induced blood clots.
Admittedly, people face a difficult decision on whether or not to take a COVID vaccine. So much information tells the ugly story of people who have suffered illness or death because they were not vaccinated. But Americans who have taken COVID vaccine shots and those who have refused to capitulate to the coercion and propaganda are ill-informed about blood clots, as well as about the limits of vaccines as shown by high numbers of breakthrough infections in the vaccinated.
If you only consider statistics about the number of people benefitting from vaccines versus lower numbers experiencing bad side effects, you might dismiss the negatives in favor of the positives. But there is significant uncertainty about longer-term negative vaccine impacts that may affect a lot of vaccinated people. (Continue to complete article…)
Is a repeat defeat for students and parents in the works for this coming school year?
It seems so. What’s not in doubt is it will be another big win for teacher unions. The Los Angeles union demanded a rich array of gimmes before it would consider any return to classrooms, reports Lee Chanian for the Hoover Institution. These included defunding police, shutting down competing charter schools, a 1% wealth tax, and a 3% income surtax on successful people, to name but a few. Is this dedication? For sure. But not to students.
Given the reach and power of teacher unions, it’s no reach to think that in the spring of 2020 union bosses pushed governors to close schools. Then, in the fall of 2020, after governors shifted decision-making to school boards, teacher unions pressured local boards not to open with full in-person instruction. It worked once, so, same play again for school year 2021-2022?
How did our public schools sink to this? (Continue to FULL challenge…)
Biden’s three choices: Detain illegal migrants, remove or expel them, or send them back across the border to wait
No Mas!
On August 13, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued an order enjoining the Biden administration’s termination of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), better known as “Remain in Mexico”. The court did not force any DHS officer to return any illegal migrant to Mexico (it admitted it lacked that power), but made clear that the administration had three choices: Detain illegal migrants, remove or expel them, or send them back across the border.

Parent Kila Posey recently requested of her child’s principal, Sharyn Briscoe, that her second-grader be put with a specific teacher that Posey knew would be a good fit. Her husband works as the school psychologist at Mary Lin Elementary School in Atlanta, Georgia. Requesting a specific teacher is one of the privileges that comes with his job. However, the response the couple received was quite disturbing.
Posey was told, “That’s not one of the black classes.”

More than 5,000 illegal immigrants have been discovered inside stash houses around Laredo, Texas, since last fall, according to local authorities, an indication of how many are evading Border Patrol agents at the United States-Mexico border and getting away.
Since President Joe Biden took office in January, the number of migrants encountered illegally coming across the border has reached a 21-year high . Laredo has seen an increase in the number of people who are sneaking past law enforcement on the border and making it to stash houses where smugglers hold their human cargo before moving them further into the country, according to Laredo Mayor Pete Saenz.

Lately, parents have become more active in the debate around what and how their children should be taught in public schools. Parents are weighing in on curriculum about “systemic racism,” policies about vaccinating children without parental consent, and the front-and-center debate of whether a child needs to wear a mask for the school day. The Left may be pushing wrong policies, but more parental involvement is a good thing.
The political Left teaches that America is racist because it was founded through oppression, prejudice, and white privilege. Kids are being taught how to affix blame using racism, not how to prevent it. Whether it’s called Critical Race Theory (CRT) or some other clever name used to camouflage activism, this indoctrination has been exposed, causing many states to ban the passing on of this mindset.

Gary Varvel – Tuesday, August 17, 2021
This weekend the US experienced another “Saigon moment,” this time in Afghanistan. After a 20 year war that drained trillions from Americans’ pockets, the capital of Afghanistan fell without a fight. The corrupt Potemkin regime that the US had been propping up for two decades and the Afghan military that we had spent billions training just melted away. Continue reading
The Federal Reserve continues to print the dollar to infinity in order to maintain the expansion of the market bubble. Most of the stocks are owned by the top 1 percent, so the rich at the top of the pyramid are getting richer while the middle class is going away – they pay the price in terms of inflation. One wonders if Powell is intentionally melting the dollar’s value in order to usher in a new totalitarian digital currency and social credit system. Continue reading
“An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens.” ~ Thomas Jefferson, 1813
Some of you may be aware that there is going to be a special election on September 14 to determine whether Gavin Newsom is recalled or if he will continue on as governor. Personally, I’d like to see the son of a bitch fed to the sharks; but that’s neither here nor there. Regardless of how I feel, I got my recall ballot guide in the mail yesterday and discovered something incredible – there are 45 people trying to get Newsom’s job! That, to me, is mind boggling. I can see a handful of people seeking the governorship, but never in my life would I have imagined that I’d see 45 people running for the same position.
That got me to thinking, as things like this are apt to do, and the first thought that popped into my head is the quote from Thomas Jefferson that sits at the top of this essay. I could be wrong, but I think the very climate of politics is not one in which honesty can long survive. Continue reading
