Many of us suspect the protests in Minnesota are by no means grass-root. The protestors are well-organized, carry slickly-printed signs, and uniformly shout the same messages. They used a cell phone message program called ‘Signal’ to implement their movements around town to counter ICE agents. They are getting paid by billionaire agitators such as George Soros and his son.

Hickman: Does America Still Have the Tools to Solve Its Problems?
Two days ago I wrote to you about How Elizabeth Warren Destroyed an American Technology Company headquartered in her home state.
She killed a deal for Amazon to buy iRobot – maker of the popular Roomba robot vacuum cleaner. And as a result, iRobot filed for bankruptcy and got scooped up for peanuts by a Chinese rival.
All of that US intellectual property, not to mention mountains of personal data on iRobot’s US consumers, was handed over to the Chinese… courtesy of America’s favorite Cherokee warrior. Continue reading
Ross: Are You Prepared?
Do you think that God cares about what you look like? Do you think He cares if you are rich/poor; if you are a Democrat or a Republican; if you are a famous actor or just some working stiff trying to make ends meet? All God cares about is what is in your heart; whether or not you believe what John 3:16 tells us, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Yet there is more to being a Christian than simply believing that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the Living God; He who offered His life as a sacrifice for our sins; dying on the cross and rising on the third day into glory. Satan not only believes that, he knows that to be true; yet he is still condemned to eternal damnation for seeking to elevate himself above the Most High. Continue reading
DeWeese: A Challenge to Republican/Conservative Forces – What’s Your Plan to Win?
Republican spokesmen and conservative media continue to report with glee that the Democrats are out of control and finished as a political force. “They’re clueless,” “they’re crazy.” “Their leadership is completely out of control.” “The Democrats are done.” On and on it goes. “Are you tired of winning yet,” goes the most popular slogan. And, “The midterms are in the Republicans hands!”
My frustration grows as I’m forced to watch the absolute downfall of American freedom, led by those same pathetic Republican forces who have ignored and completely misunderstand the agenda they have been facing for over thirty years. Above all, they have no idea how dedicated the powers behind it are to assuring that it’s fully enforced. Continue reading
Smith: Trump’s Repugnant Second Amendment Positions
All the facts surrounding the ICE shooting of Alex Pretti still aren’t out, but I am of the mind that he absolutely got the ass beating he deserved – and maybe he did deserve to be shot if he still had his pistol on him and was reaching for it. But as near as I can gather, he was shot after he was disarmed, and if that’s the case – well Damn – ain’t that some real shit.
However, no matter the wrong or right of what Pretti did or didn’t do, up until the point he angrily impeded and obstructed the ICE agent in the commission of his duty and fought with him, Pretti had every right to be there watching and protesting, even with his firearm on his side.
As much as I hate the Democrat Communists, they still have a right to peaceful protest, but as we are witnessing, nine times out of ten, their idea of “peaceful protest” comes with a shitload of violence directed at ICE, Border Patrol and anyone identified as a conservative counter-protestor or conservative journalist – the latter two often being swarmed and threatened with bodily harm and death – all of which are part of the reason we all have the right to carry a firearm. Continue reading
Dickens: Where, Oh Where has America Gone? – Part trois…
Mechanized Waste, Fraud, and Abuse…
In commercials from the 1970s and 1980s, Memorex popularized the slogan “Is it real or is it Memorex?” Memorex claimed that the sound reproduction from their recording tape was so good you couldn’t tell whether it was live or recorded. In fact, they used Ella Fitzgerald’s recorded voice to shatter a crystal glass. The slogan became a cultural catchphrase; its meaning has since been extended to AI and deepfakes.
A deepfake is a form of artificial intelligence (AI) synthetic media – video, audio, or image – that replaces a person’s likeness, voice, or actions with someone else’s, making them appear to do or say something they never did. Created using deep learning, specifically Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), these hyper-realistic, often malicious fabrications can spread misinformation, fuel identity fraud, and damage reputations.
It’s quite difficult to tell what’s real and what’s fabricated, which makes me question the rationale for lying. After all, aren’t these fakes just lies…? Continue reading
Hickman: How Elizabeth Warren Destroyed an American Technology Company
Almost exactly two years ago I wrote about Senator Elizabeth Warren’s heroic quest to destroy Amazon’s acquisition of iRobot.
You might be familiar with iRobot; they are the maker of the robotic “Roomba” vacuum cleaner, and Amazon wanted to buy it for more than $1 billion.
Well, Lizzie Warren wasn’t having any of that. She wrote a hysterical letter to the Federal Trade Commission claiming the deal would “harm consumers,” as if we helpless little people would somehow suffer grievous bodily injury if Amazon bought a vacuum cleaner company. Continue reading
Smith: The Red Wind Over the Republic ~ and the Saints Will Reach for Rifles!
We are seeing our immigration mess pushed to its breaking point in America today by Democrat Party Communist leaders in every sanctuary state and city across the country.
America is facing a coordinated ideological insurgency that uses immigration chaos, sanctuary policies, and far‑left protest movements and their useful communist Idiots as instruments of revolutionary change. This insurgency is seen as rooted in Marxist-Maoist ideology, supported by sympathetic institutions, and amplified – though not necessarily completely directed – by foreign adversaries and the financial backing of entities such as the Chinese Communist Party.
Most patriotic Americans, such as myself, fully recognize and understand that our country is being transformed against our will. Understanding this perspective is essential to understanding the depth of today’s political conflict. 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
Why 2026 Marks the Dawn of Nationwide School Choice
Trump’s new federal school choice program includes an irresistible pathway for taxpayers to help kids.

You DO have choices you know!!!
As we kick off National School Choice Week, there’s never been a more exciting time for families who seek educational freedom. Governors across the country now have a golden opportunity to opt their states in early to President Trump’s innovative federal tax credit scholarship program embedded in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, unlocking scholarships for millions of kids without touching a dime of public school funding.

Sara: Another Shooting in Minnesota
And it’s awful. Again!
Again, another person who believed their presence was necessary, their purpose noble, and their cause just – did not return home.
Another person who believed they were fighting Nazis, the Gestapo, or fascists — fought to the death. Whether they wanted to, needed to, or understood what they were doing.
Another preventable situation that devolved quickly.
Another damaging war of words and narratives followed.
And the road of restoration for our nation becomes a little harder to pass – littered with all the junk dragged into it by both sides. Continue reading
Smith: America’s Enemies From Within Seek Her Destruction

The more I see and hear coming out of sanctuary cities and states all around the nation, whether we speak of New York City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago or up the road from me in Nashville, the more convinced I am that there isn’t any peaceful solution, and we freedom and liberty minded Americans can no longer sit idly by while America is slowly dismantled piece by piece by subversive Democrat Marxist-Maoist Communists far too willing to do any and everything to destroy Her, even to the point of accepting financial help and training from the Chinese communists and other communists abroad.
Many lack the courage to admit this fact, simply because they don’t want to tip the cart so-to-speak, and they somehow believe we can simply keep limping along trying to make compromise after compromise with these vile, evil, intransigent commie rat bastards in a manner that prevents America from succeeding and reaching Her full potential. They would rather see the nation die slowly so long as their own respective and relative comfort isn’t disrupted in the slightest, looking at only ensuring their own prosperity and “security” in the short term rather than doing everything within their power to ensure prosperity and real and solid security for all Americans while defending and protecting our inalienable God-given rights.

Minnesota Shows Why the Left Will Win America’s 2026 Civil War!
The saddest thing about this is that the Republicans will work with the left to ensure their victory.
The United States is facing an existential threat. My guess is this summer will be the most violent, damaging domestic summer since the Civil War. And I predict the left will win and come out victorious on the other side. They will, after winning this new civil war, seek to eliminate the last vestiges of republicans.
I use a small ‘r‘ because while some Republicans are true republicans, most are not. And when the left wins the war, those RINOs are going to “work with” Democrats to create the illusion that America is still a republic, but it won’t be. They will use every tool available to silence dissent, take control over virtually every sector of American life, and they will implement rules so that America becomes a one-party nation.
Now I say all of this with the great hope that I am wrong, but I don’t think I will be. Continue reading
Snyder: A War Has Erupted On The Streets Of America, and It Is Going To End With Martial Law In Major U.S. Cities
Chaos has erupted in the streets of major cities all over this country, and it appears that we have reached a boiling point which could cause events to completely spiral out of control. We knew that there was no way that the Trump administration was going to back down on immigration enforcement, and we knew that there was no way that the left was going to back down and allow ICE to conduct mass deportations without resistance. In fact, the left now has “response teams” that literally operate like military units in cities such as Chicago, Minneapolis and New York City.
So it was inevitable that we would see more violent confrontations, and now another protester has died. The left is promising to fight back harder than ever, and President Trump is seriously considering invoking the Insurrection Act.
As both sides continue to raise the stakes, it is just a matter of time before this crisis ends with martial law in major U.S. cities. Continue reading
Massive Social Security Data Breach Sparks Identity Theft Fears for Millions

Illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios
Federal officials are scrambling to contain the fallout from a massive Social Security data exposure that has thrust millions of Americans into the crosshairs of identity thieves. A whistleblower has alleged that more than 300 m Social Security records were placed at risk, potentially affecting virtually every working-age and retired person who depends on federal benefits. The breach is not just a technical failure, it is a direct threat to people’s credit, bank accounts, and long term financial security. Continue reading
2006 Vanity Fair Article Appears to Predict America’s Future… With One Terrifying Premonition Still to Come

Vanity Fair found itself at the center of controversy after it published its profile of Susie Wiles last year, but almost two decades before that, the publication may have predicted today’s political climate.
An astrology article from a 2006 issue of Vanity Fair that appeared to correctly foresee the political events over the last 20 years has resurfaced and gone viral.
In the article, Vanity Fair’s resident astrologer Michael Lutin shared what he expected will happen to the US through to 2025 based on Pluto’s return to the founding chart of 1776 Continue reading
Smith: Between Yesterday’s Sorrow And Tomorrow’s Dark Doubt

Robert “LaVoy” Finicum
This is a story as old as mankind, as every person since the beginning of time has had choices to make and battles to wage from within and without, against himself, the elements and those who try to enslave him or suppress his natural right to freedom and liberty.
In the 20th and 21st centuries we have seen our own government commit egregious and unwarranted acts of violence against so many Americans, whether we look at Waco, Texas, Ruby Ridge and the assassination of Vicki Weaver or the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge standoff and the assassination of LaVoy Finicum.
January 26th marks the 10th anniversary of LaVoy’s murder at the hands of Oregon’s Highway Patrol and FBI Special Agents, in an ambush style attack on Highway 395 in 2016. ~ J.O.S. Continue reading
Dickens: Where, Oh Where has America Gone? – Part deux…
Responsibility?
“At any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth, or step back into safety.” ~ Abraham Maslow
Will we, as Americans, step forward toward growth or retreat into the safety of excuses and blame?
My last post addressed the loss of the stability America once had and the move toward a dismantled version of the republic I dearly love. I don’t recognize this place people call America. It’s changed, and for me it’s almost unrecognizable. I don’t necessarily resist change, only change for the sake of change; I find it ludicrous and dangerous. The caveat is that recent changes affecting this republic are meant to alter or undermine constitutional protections that safeguard citizens from nefarious politicians. The changes I perceive are driven by a lack of responsibility and are sanctioned by a partisan political rift engineered to segment America into fiefdoms and partisan enclaves. That’s the crux of this post.
“Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.” ~ George Bernard Shaw Continue reading
I Have Spent Years Teaching in Public Schools… Here is why I will homeschool my own future kids.

The Biblical admonition to train up a child in the way he should go is part of the basis for homeschooling in this country. By creating new institutions on a Godly basis away from corrupt cultural Marxist thought and method, America will build the infrastructure to return to greatness. Today these new institutions may include homeschooling, home churches, small home based business, etc. These are the building blocks of the return to sanity in America.
While Emily Bute isn’t a mom yet, she has already made one decision for her future kids: she will not be sending them to public school.
As a special education teacher in the public school system herself, she said she has seen first hand how the ‘system does not address the needs’ of children.
Bute, based in Oahu, Hawaii, recently went viral on TikTok after she broke down all the reasons why she has decided that she will homeschool her kids when she has them. Continue reading
Johnson ~ His Middle Name is “Jihad”

The killer – Ahmad “Jihad” Bojeh
Three innocent buddies – Robert Kraft (70), his brother Douglas Kraft (68), and friend James Puchan (69) traveled to Florida for a fun car show getaway, only to be slaughtered in cold blood by terrorist Ahmad “Jihad” Bojeh. Yet the gutless news media labels this act of terrorism as insanity and barely whisper his name, and some outlets don’t even bother mentioning it at all. If this monster had been a white guy, his name would be plastered everywhere, especially the middle name. It would be national headlines screaming for days. Instead, they hide behind cowardly labels like “29-year-old insane man.” You know exactly what I mean: the double standard is blatant and infuriating.
My heart breaks for the families of these three innocent victims who came to Florida for a good time. Continue reading
