EAGLE PASS — On a chilly January afternoon, a military drone hovers over Shelby Park as Texas National Guard members pull boats from the Rio Grande and slide them onto trailers. Shipping containers topped with concertina wire line the riverbank, where men in fatigues erect a bilingual sign near the boat ramp that reads: "No migrant processing at this location. Please proceed to nearest port of entry for processing with U.S. Border Patrol."

Winston Churchill said: You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police. Yet in their hearts there is unspoken-unspeakable-fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts! Words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home, all the more powerful because they are forbidden. These terrify them. A little mouse-a little tiny mouse! -of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.

This is the first of a continiuing series of humorous agitprop for Dissident Americans. Laugh while you still have the strength.

This is an alternate history scenario that didn't really happen. Consider it something like a concept for a new video game. The included backstory is purely speculative fiction. Welcome to the new Totalitarian States of AmericaIt’s time to understand and accept what’s happened. The time for argument and discussion is over. And complaining about it is about as relvant as French citzins bemoaning how the Nazis are tracking mud up and down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. The Democrats and their collaborators will do as they please, because they can. They now have the power to subdue anyone, or any group...

In order to effectively understand Democrats and their political collaborators, one must be able to discern between what they say, and what they actually mean. To this end, I’ve acquired a translation device that can process political propaganda and convert it into the truth that they'd rather you not know.. My first translation project comes from a NYT article published by Kevin Roose on Feb 2, 2021. Let’s take a look at what’s really going inside the minds of these totalitarian wannabees. How the Biden Administration Can Help Solve Our Reality Crisis [obvious lack of credibility] Last month, millions of...

I need some recommendation for a simple, secure photo sharing site to post images that I can then link with my FR posts. I tried Pinterest, but I couldn't link images using FR's html system. (I'm more tech savvy than I probably sound.)

A cruise ship had to be quarantined in St Lucia's port after a case of measles was confirmed on board. Health officials docked the cruise ship, which was carrying 300 passengers, on Monday after discovering a female crew member had contracted the disease. According to NBC, officials declined to name the ship, but Sgt Victor Theodore from St Lucia's Coast Guard said it was called the 'Freewinds' - the same name as a 440-foot ship owned and operated by the Church of Scientology.

The various and constant attempts to subvert President Trump’s office, agenda, and character have been going on ever since he announced his candidacy over two years ago. It’s been an unprecedented phenomenon that has nothing with which to compare it. In that time, my views have evolved, sometimes so rapidly that it’s left me in a temporary state of confusion. It’s time to sort it out. In the past, my general view of the Left was that of a secular cult. As a keen observer and ardent critic of the Church of Scientology, I saw numerous parallels. But I concluded...

Editor’s Note: Feel free to copy, paraphrase, or edit any of the content of this letter. I encourage anyone who wants to make their displeasure known, to contact the NFL, their sponsors, and their media outlets. Let them know what you think.   Dear NFL, (Sponsors, and Media associates), I regret to inform you that until further notice, I won’t be attending any NFL games, view or listen to your broadcasts, nor read, listen to, or watch any NFL related media. As a decades-long football fan, it’s a choice I don’t make casually. This kneeling thing has gotten so far...

The Second American Civil War is gradually coalescing into an observable phenomenon. The lines are being drawn and people are taking sides in noticeable ways. As it now stands, we have something of a "cold war" going on as it once existed between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Espionage, intelligence breaches, clandestine black bag operations, fifth column saboteurs, and the like. But important questions remain: As the war continues, how will the conflict evolve? Will it escalate? If so, what will be the flashpoint that puts it in full motion? Will it turn into a full-fledged armed conflict? As...

Democrats are still coming to terms with losing. They were so convinced that Obama’s fundamental transformation of America was a resounding success. In their minds, it was a done deal. They haven’t yet accepted that their liberal pipe dream was nothing more than an illusive fantasy of their own making. It was never real. Trump has enjoyed a bounty of early victories, only two weeks into his administration. It’s remarkable how he’s managed to move faster than Democrats can respond. By the time they rally their forces, Trump is promoting a new agenda item. A US Marines Major once told...

There are now over a dozen cabinet members and appointments working in the Trump administration with just about as many waiting in the aisles. And all the while the executive orders are flying off the desk and into the faces of incredulous Democrats who still don't understand what has happened. The swamp draining has apparently started, with the firing of U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan. Six senior officials in charge of management at the State Department have reportedly resigned. The Washington Post is concerned. Everyone else, not so much. The anti-Trump angst continues to inflict its silliness on a...

“If you can’t spot the sucker within the first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.” --Amarillo SlimPoker enthusiasts are likely familiar with the above quote from Poker Hall of Fame professional gambler Amarillo Slim. Whether you’re a novice poker player or an experienced card sharp, Amarillo’s words of caution are worth heeding. And I find the adage just as relevant in other contexts not related to playing cards. As someone who comes from a long family line of card and dice players, it’s easy for me to draw a few analogies. And because I see...

That sonic boom you may have thought you heard was just the sound of Democrat heads exploding in unison. It was followed by the caterwauling of angry feminists protesting against. . .well, whatever the hell it is they’re protesting against these days. They hate you. They really, really hate you. Half of the work Trump will be doing in the immediate future will involve him just being in the White House. The Democrats will do the heavy lifting with their militant protesting. They are daily exposing their true selves: a demented gang of militant radicals who would think nothing of...

While Trump was being sworn in, protestors on the outskirts of the DC area were burning trash and yelling stuff. It didn't help. Trump is officially president. During the inauguration parade, you could see some of protesters along the route with their signs. Trump's Secretary of Education will owe them some thanks for their convincing demonstration of ignorance and illiteracy due to our education system. No better evidence is needed for demanding sweeping changes. Trump's speech was a no frills tell-it-like-it-is promise that this isn't the Obama Administration any more. The best media comment I heard went something like this:...

President Trump. Words that some still can’t say. Others can’t even think it. Dozens of Democrats in Congress will not be attending. They prefer to pretend that it’s not happening. As Trump is being sworn in, protesters will be hitting the streets declaring that Trump is not their president. 2017 looks like it’s going to be a deranged parade of cognitive dissonance the world has never seen. Reality can be a bitch. Even if you don’t believe in it, it doesn’t go away.
