USA the Republic – by Congressman Don Young (R-AK)

The Constitution gives Congress the power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations governing lands belonging to the United States.  Yet over the last 25 years, 68 percent of America’s National Parks, Preserves and Monuments have been designated as a United Nations World Heritage Site, Biosphere Reserve or both by Executive Branch action with virtually no Congressional oversight or approval and out of the sight of the public scrutiny.   Continue reading “The Globalization of United States Domestic Land Use Policy”

What do they mean?

Before I give an explanation, let’s be sure we all know what an explanation is. An explanation is not a justification. The collapse of education in the US is so severe that many Americans, especially younger ones, cannot tell the difference between an explanation and a defense, justification, or apology for what they regard as a guilty person or party. If an explanation is not damning or sufficiently damning of what they want damned, the explanation is interpreted as an excuse for the object of their scorn. In America, reason and objective analysis have taken a backseat to emotion.   Continue reading “Trump’s Appointments”

A former Army Special Forces officer is accusing retired Marine General James Mattis, President-elect Donald Trump‘s pick to be defense secretary, of “leaving my men to die” after they were hit by friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2001.

Mattis has not commented publicly on the incident, which was chronicled in a 2011 New York Times bestselling book, “The Only Thing Worthy Dying For,” by Eric Blehm. The book portrays Mattis as stubbornly unwilling to help the Green Berets.   Continue reading “Former Special Forces officer: Gen. ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis left ‘my men to die’”

This is a list of the top 10 books considered to be politically incorrect.   Continue reading “Top 10 Politically Incorrect Kids Books”

The old Copper Lounge building in downtown Sioux Falls collapsed on Friday morning, sending debris onto Phillips Avenue and trapping people inside.

Jim Sideras, Sioux Falls Fire Rescue chief, said two people were trapped in the rubble. One of the people trapped was speaking on the phone with her mother as crews worked to clear the debris.

Nearly 600 veterans could have been infected with HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C at a Veterans Affairs facility in Tomah, Wis. because a dentist didn’t properly clean his instruments.

The Tomah VA is investigating the dentist, who has not been fired but was removed from patient care. According to acting Medical Center Director Victoria Brahm, the dentist was using his own equipment for routine dental exams, then cleaning it and using it again. This violates VA rules, which require use of disposable equipment to ensure sterility.   Continue reading “VA may have infected 600 veterans with HIV and Hepatitis”

Little has been published about the early life of Abraham Lincoln. However, during a search of some old property records and will in a small courthouse in central North Carolina, Alex Christopher the author of “Pandora’s Box,” in one of the old will books dated around 1840, he found the will of one A. A. Springs. Upon reading the will he was shocked and amazed at the secret that it disclosed, but one must remember that it is a known fact that wills, even though they are classified public records the same as property and corporation records, they are rarely combed through as he was doing at the time, and these records hold many dark secrets that can be hidden in public view, but are never uncovered because there are very few who research these old records.   Continue reading “The Truth About Abraham Lincoln”

In the quest to study microaggressions, one scholar has harnessed technology to chronicle such verbal insults and unintentional slights, creating an app that allows students to not only detail the exact nature of the utterance, but its location on campus and what part of their identity was disparaged, too.

Enter MicroReport, which documented students’ claims of perceived microaggressions at UC Santa Cruz during the 2015-16 school year as part of a lengthy study into the effects of experiencing microaggressions.   Continue reading “‘Virtual safe space’: Smartphone app records campus microaggressions”

Over the last 40 years, the assault on Western culture and civilization has taken people so far away from lucid thinking and logic, they don’t even know this discipline exists at all.

What has replaced it is entertainment.

It seems that hundreds of gimmicks and machines are now necessary, in order to keep the attention of children in school. There is a fear that without these “up-to-date” items, the kids will drop into a coma or walk out of the classroom.   Continue reading “Home-school solution for education”

Center for Immigration Studies – by Mark Krikorian

In September the media reported that the Obama administration was sitting on a damning Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report that called into question the administration’s claim that as many as 81 percent of people attempting to cross the border illegally are apprehended.

This new report, whose full text the Center for Immigration Studies has now obtained, estimates that nearly half of illegal aliens slip through the southern border undetected.   Continue reading “Damning Report on Illegal-Alien Entries Now Available”
