PENSACOLA, FL – Living in Florida, we don’t often have the opportunity to use the heat setting on our thermostat, but this winter we got the chance in a big way. And as a matter of fact, so many people in my neighborhood were using heaters that it blew out the transformer.

So there I was with my wife and three kids, all of us huddled under blankets with the fireplace roaring, watching the temperature continue to drop from a comfortable 65 degrees down to 45. But outside it was 17 degrees and raining and sleeting, and if you were homeless, you had to consider that if you used a blanket to shield yourself from the elements, that you might be hauled off to jail for a violation of a local ordinance prohibiting using blankets, cardboard, or newspaper to cover yourself.   Continue reading “Florida Ordinance Makes It Illegal For Homeless To Use Blankets”

We have been had. Nothing we have grown up believing to be real is in fact real. Connecting all the dots, it dawned on me that there was so much more behind the curtain of everything than I was led to believe. I came to believe the only thing that I could trust was real was the love of my family. My government has turned out to be one big phony corporation — a massive worldwide scam perpetrated by Zionists, Nazis, and Khazars. It has to be stopped!   Continue reading “IRS – Private, Lying, Globalist-Controlled Thugs – We Want Our Money Back!”

First lady Michelle Obama has been making the rounds lately to promote the federal student loan program. CNS News reports Mrs. O as telling high school students in Washington,”Almost everyone is eligible for some form of financial aid, and all you have to do to access that aid is fill out this one little form. It’s so simple.”

In her recent quest to get young adults to believe “The American Dream is still alive (we swear),” she even went so far as to post a video on WhiteHouse.gov she titled, “I’m first,” where she has to read her own name from a teleprompter while she waxes on about how she had a rough go of her first year at Princeton, but anyone from anywhere with any amount of money can succeed in college and go on to build an incredible life for themselves in America — just like her. That’s right! Michelle makes it seem effortless to go to college — just take out a few student loans if you can’t afford it.   Continue reading “My Personal Response to First Lady Michelle Obama’s “I’m First” Video”
