Is biological terrorism behind our contaminated food supply?


In 1984, members of the Rajneesh movement carried out a bioterror attack in The Dalles, Oregon, to influence a local election. They contaminated salad bars in several restaurants with Salmonella bacteria, sickening 751 people and hospitalizing 45. They achieved their evil goal and suppressed voter turnout gaining control of local political offices. This remains the largest bio-terror attack in U.S. history. 


Is it a just a coincidence that organic baby carrots are suddenly contaminated with E. coli bacteria?  How about the contamination of  McDonald’s onions?  


According to the CDC, these incidents are up over 47% over the year previous!  COVID-19 came just in time to disrupt the 2020 election, and now this attack. Just during the past year alone, several other significant incidents of bacterial contamination in food have been reported:

1. Boar’s Head Deli Meats (2024): In the summer of 2024, a listeriosis outbreak linked to Boar’s Head’s processing plant in Jarratt, Virginia, resulted in ten deaths and 59 hospitalizations. The outbreak led to a recall of over 7 million pounds of meat and cheese products. Investigations revealed numerous sanitation issues at the plant, including mold, insects, and condensation in post-cooking areas.

2. Berkeley Springs Bottled Water (2023): In September 2023, the FDA recalled over 150,000 bottles of Berkeley Springs Water due to coliform bacteria contamination. The affected products were distributed in West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia. Coliform bacteria indicate potential contamination by other pathogens, though the recall was classified as Class III, suggesting the contaminated water was not likely to cause adverse health effects.

3. Gills Onions (2023): By October 2023, Gills Onions in California recalled several lots of its chopped, packaged onions after a Salmonella outbreak resulted in 80 illnesses, 18 hospitalizations, and one death. The FDA traced the contamination back to the company’s products, finding Salmonella in the water and environment of the supplying farm.

4. Frugals Milkshakes (2023): In August 2023, three people died and six were hospitalized after consuming milkshakes contaminated with Listeria bacteria from a Frugals burger restaurant in Washington state.

5. Nestlé’s Perrier Water (2024): In April 2024, Nestlé Waters destroyed two million bottles of Perrier after detecting fecal bacteria contamination in one of its wells in Vergèze, France. The contamination was attributed to heavy rains from Storm Monica in March.

6. Marmaris Kebab House (2023): In February 2023, over 50 customers of Marmaris Kebab House in Abergavenny, Wales, suffered from food poisoning caused by Shigella contamination. One affected individual continued to experience severe illness 16 months after consuming a contaminated kebab.  


Each succeeding election in America becomes more and more volatile. With two separate assassination attempts against President-elect DonaldTrump it strikes me as more than just a coincidence that we as a nation are currently under attack.

Donald Trump was elected with a strong focus on his primary campaign promise: deporting illegal aliens and securing the southern border.

Donald Trump has assured the nation that this extensive initiative will begin on January 21, 2025. Now is the time for illegal aliens to leave the United States voluntarily to avoid the risk of being forcibly removed later. Choosing self-deportation not only spares them from being handcuffed and jailed but also simplifies their opportunity to return to America legally in the future.

No one who has been forcibly deported will be allowed to re-enter the United States. It is essential to communicate this message in the native languages of illegal immigrants so they can fully understand the benefits of self-deportation.


Forced deportations will be a harsh and difficult process. Families who self-deport can remain together, while those who resist could face prolonged detention—sometimes lasting days or even weeks—while awaiting transport. Voluntary departure is the proper,  humane and practical option.


For those who meet the criteria, joining the U.S. Armed Forces offers a clear path to citizenship. Aliens (non-citizens) can gain U.S. citizenship through military service under specific conditions. Here’s an overview of the process:


1. Eligibility to Enlist as an Alien


Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs): Green Card holders can enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Non-Immigrant Visa Holders or Undocumented Immigrants: Generally cannot enlist, although exceptions exist through special programs (e.g., MAVNI program, when available, for certain visa holders with critical skills).


2. Citizenship Through Military Service


Expedited Naturalization Process:

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) §§ 328 and 329, non-citizens who serve honorably in the U.S. military can apply for expedited naturalization.

Key benefits include waivers for continuous residence and physical presence requirements.

Service Requirements:

During Peacetime (§ 328):

Minimum one year of honorable service.

Apply for citizenship while serving or within six months of an honorable discharge.

During Periods of Hostilities (§ 329):

Any honorable service (even one day) qualifies.

The U.S. has been in a designated period of hostilities since September 11, 2001.

Moral Character Requirements:

Must demonstrate good moral character.

Dishonorable discharge or certain criminal convictions can disqualify candidates.


3. Application Process


File Form N-400 (Application for Naturalization) with a certified form of military service (Form N-426).

The process is often expedited compared to civilian applicants.


4. Posthumous Citizenship


If an alien dies as a result of active duty service, they can be granted posthumous citizenship, which may provide immigration benefits to surviving family members.


5. Benefits for Family Members


Immediate relatives of service members (spouses, children) may also be eligible for expedited or special immigration benefits.

Are Gun Dealers Truly Pro-Second Amendment? It Depends on Their Location

Los Angeles, CA — California is ground zero for oppressive and unconstitutional gun laws that flagrantly violate the Second Amendment. In this state, the constitutional right to bear arms is practically non-existent, buried under layers of government overreach. However, the tide is turning. The Supreme Court’s landmark decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, 597 U.S. ___, 142 S. Ct. 2111 (2022), has affirmed that the Second Amendment means what it says—and that it cannot be endlessly “balanced” against vague claims of public safety. The future will see most of California’s draconian gun laws wiped from the books.

Gun Dealers Before and After the 1968 Gun Control Act


Before the Gun Control Act of 1968, firearms were sold like any other lawful product. No special licenses were required, no federal purchase forms, and no waiting periods. You could buy a firearm in person, by mail, or from a neighbor without jumping through bureaucratic hoops. So long as the seller had no reason to believe the firearm would be used in a crime, transactions were straightforward and respected personal freedoms.


The Gun Control Act of 1968 changed everything. Federal licensing requirements for dealers created layers of red tape, forcing small businesses to absorb steep compliance costs. Dealers had to operate out of brick-and-mortar locations and hire clerical staff to manage mountains of paperwork. Background checks through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) added even more administrative burdens. All of this drove up the cost of firearms for consumers—and cemented the dealer’s role as a gatekeeper.


Gun Dealers in Restrictive States: Profiting from Your Rights

In states like California, where lawmakers weaponize bureaucracy to strangle the Second Amendment, gun dealers have become, intentionally or not, arms of the government. These restrictive laws mandate that even private transactions—whether a gift, loan, or sale to a friend—must go through a licensed dealer. This means buyers and sellers must pay the dealer for what should be a private transaction.


Even worse, gun laws in these states are often written to maximize profits for dealers. Mandatory training courses, often required for gun ownership, conveniently funnel gun owners into classes run by the same dealers selling the firearms. This creates a perverse financial incentive for some gun dealers to embrace and even lobby for stricter laws.


Gun Dealers in Free States: Respecting the Second Amendment


In contrast, gun dealers in free states operate without the burden of government overreach. There, private individuals can gift, loan, or sell firearms without dealer interference. Gun dealers are not coerced into acting as agents of the state and are free to focus on selling firearms rather than enforcing unconstitutional regulations.


The Reality: Gun Dealers Need to Pick a Side


As gun control laws face growing legal challenges across the country, the role of gun dealers is at a crossroads. Dealers in restrictive states have become complicit in policies that trample individual freedoms while padding their bottom lines. But the Bruendecision makes it clear: gun rights are not negotiable, and the Constitution is not for sale.


In the coming years, as unconstitutional gun laws fall, gun dealers in restrictive states will have to adjust. They must return to their original role—providing firearms to law-abiding citizens—not profiting off government mandates. Those who truly value the Second Amendment will embrace this shift. Those who don’t will be exposed for what they are: profiteers of tyranny.


It’s time to hold gun dealers accountable. The Second Amendment is not just a talking point—it’s the supreme law of the land.

Taylor Swift from My Point of View

 

Taylor Swift is undeniably an impressive business phenomenon. She has built a remarkable empire that few in the music industry could hope to replicate.

There’s no denying she’s charming, with a pleasant but mediocre voice and an ever-evolving wardrobe that keeps her young, devoted audience captivated. When it comes to songwriting, she’s no Cole Porter, Burt Bacharach, or Carole King. Personally, none of her songs have left me humming along, which, I must admit, is something of a relief.


On the visual front, however, Swift deserves an A. Her concerts are a spectacle of showmanship and creativity, showcasing her as a powerful example of the American dream in action. I applaud her for that. Still, I can’t quite grasp how her overall package has inspired such an immense global following.


One misstep, in my view, was her political endorsement of Kamala Harris, which risked alienating part of her audience. Yet, I have no doubt she will weather that storm. After all, her empire is vast, though even the brightest stars don’t shine forever. Longevity like that of the Rolling Stones is rare, and I suspect her immense persona may begin to wane in the years ahead.


So, pity me if you will—I just don’t get it.

The bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives must be reimagined.

Washington, DC — This is an agency that has become bloated, unnecessary, and tyrannical.  They have taken their statutory authority and unlawfully embellished it destroying many lives in the process. 

To begin with they have been given powers by our politicians that were 100% contrary to the language and tradition of the Bill of Rights .  Then various ATF directors goaded on by gun rights, hating politicians engaged in horrific acts, some of the more notable are:

1. Ken Ballew Raid (1971)


Kenneth Ballew, a gun collector, was raided by ATF agents in his Silver Spring, Maryland apartment. The agents suspected him of possessing unregistered grenades. During the raid, Ballew, who had been bathing, armed himself with an antique revolver, believing his home was under attack. When the agents, dressed in plain clothes, forcibly entered, Ballew was shot in the head, leaving him permanently disabled. Investigations later revealed that the suspected grenades were inert and legally owned. This incident raised serious concerns about the ATF’s use of force and the procedures followed during such operations.


2. Ruby Ridge (1992)


In northern Idaho, Randy Weaver faced a federal firearms charge and failed to appear in court. This led to a standoff at his cabin in Ruby Ridge. A U.S. Marshal shot Weaver’s dog, which escalated into a gunfight, killing Weaver’s son, Samuel, and Marshal William Degan. The FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team later joined, and sniper fire killed Weaver’s wife, Vicki. The case became a symbol of federal overreach, with significant criticism directed at law enforcement agencies, including the ATF, for their handling of the situation.  Weaver was later awarded millions of dollars over this crime against humanity.


3. Waco Siege (1993)


The ATF attempted to execute a search warrant that was based on an informant’s false allegation, that the Branch Davidian’s of Waco, Texas, was engaged in illegal weapons violations. The initial raid led to a firefight, resulting in multiple deaths on both sides. A 51-day standoff followed, ending in a final assault involving tear gas and armored vehicles. A fire broke out during the assault, killing 76 Branch Davidians. The ATF faced widespread criticism for its tactics and the tragic outcome.


4. Operation Fast and Furious (2006–2011)


As part of an “effort” to combat Mexican drug cartels, the ATF allowed thousands firearms to be sold to suspected straw purchasers, hoping to trace them to criminal organizations. However, the agency lost track of the weapons. These firearms were later linked to numerous crimes, including the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. The operation was condemned for its reckless, lack of oversight and failure to prevent the weapons from falling into the wrong hands.


5. Stevenson Ranch Shootout (2001)


In Stevenson Ranch, California, ATF agents attempted to serve a search warrant on David Beck, a suspect in illegal firearms sales. Beck opened fire, leading to a prolonged gunfight. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Hagop “Jake” Kuredjian was killed. Critics argued that the ATF did not adequately prepare for the operation and failed to communicate effectively with local law enforcement.


6. Bryan Malinowski Incident (2024)


Bryan Malinowski, the Executive Director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, was fatally shot during an ATF raid at his home. The agents were investigating Malinowski for allegedly purchasing and reselling over 150 firearms without a federal dealer’s license. During the pre-dawn raid, Malinowski reportedly defensively fired at the agents he mistook for burglars, injuring one, prompting them to return fire. He later died from his injuries. This incident reignited discussions about the ATF’s use of deadly force and the handling of search warrants.


These cases were poorly and dangerously planned because they could’ve simply arrested their suspects away from their homes and simultaneously served search warrants.  It’s almost impossible to destroy firearms like narcotic evidence so there is little or no need to conduct surprise raids.  


ATF has simply not been properly held accountable for any of their incredible abuses. 


The ATF’s track record in firearms enforcement has consistently demonstrated a blatant disregard for the civil liberties guaranteed under the Second Amendment. The agency’s actions reveal a disturbing pattern of excessive force, lack of oversight, and poor planning, often resulting in unnecessary harm to innocent citizens and law enforcement alike. These repeated failures illustrate that the ATF is not trustworthy to handle any firearms enforcement responsibly.


A strict reading of the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, 142 S. Ct. 2111 (2022), has effectively invalidated most federal and state gun laws because they are deemed to violate the Second Amendment.


Conversely, the ATF has excelled in other areas, such as investigating arson and bombings. Its contributions to these fields, along with its role as a tax enforcement body for tobacco and alcohol can be retained  in a reimagined and restructured agency. 


The time has come to demand meaningful reform. The ATF must be stripped of its firearms enforcement powers and redefined as an agency that focuses solely on its strengths: arson, bombing investigations, and tax collection. Only then can we prevent further abuses and restore faith in the integrity of federal law enforcement.

Need Legal Help? Can’t Afford a Lawyer? Let Artificial Intelligence Help You!


Legal troubles can be daunting, especially when you can’t afford an attorney. But in today’s world, artificial intelligence (AI) has opened up new possibilities for those who need legal help without the hefty price tag. With the right guidance, AI can assist in creating the legal documents you need with professional precision—no lawyer required!

Imagine having instant access to professionally prepared documents just by knowing the right prompts to ask AI. With carefully worded questions, you can generate everything from wills and trusts to civil complaints, motions, responses, and even simple no-fault divorce documents. For straightforward cases, AI can be your personal assistant in the legal realm, quickly drafting the documents that otherwise might cost you thousands of dollars in fees.

But AI’s power doesn’t end with document creation. If you know how to ask, it can guide you step-by-step through the legal process, offering insight into arguments, strategies, and procedures. It’s like having a virtual legal coach at your fingertips, empowering you to become what some call a “jailhouse lawyer” in the best sense—a person who, without formal training, can navigate legal waters effectively.


And it’s not just DIY litigants benefiting from this technology. Lawyers themselves are relying heavily on AI to streamline research, draft documents, and generate insights that save them hours. In fact, many attorneys have quietly incorporated AI into their practice, realizing it can drastically cut down the time spent on routine tasks.


This technology doesn’t just empower individuals; it disrupts the courtroom dynamics. When someone represents themselves, opposing lawyers often expect an easy win. But AI levels the playing field. Self-represented litigants can now show up to court armed with well-researched arguments and precise filings, making it much harder for the opposition to steamroll them. In some cases, it even pushes judges to provide extra guidance to non-lawyers, which can frustrate and disrupt the strategies of seasoned attorneys.


So, if you’re willing to learn and get creative with your prompts, AI can help you become the litigant that lawyers dread—an “opponent from hell.” And as technology advances, it’s not just lawyers who will feel the impact. Numerous professions will need to adjust to the rise of AI, but in the meantime, it can be a game-changer for anyone facing legal challenges without the budget for legal fees.


Whether you’re taking on a legal battle yourself or simply preparing your estate, AI offers a new world of possibilities—no degree required. With a little know-how, you can turn today’s technology into tomorrow’s legal advantage.

The Legacy Media: Masters of Their Own Demise

 

Journalism is about simply gathering and reporting the facts. However our legacy corporate mainstream media had a goal and it was to denounce Donald Trump anyway in every way that they possibly could.

They pulled no punches whenever anyone doubted the 2020 election they would simply be called liars.  That is despite the fact that no court would actually allow the examination of ballots.  So really you’re looking at two sides of a guessing game.  The Media does not know what the facts really are here, but they gambled their entire reputation on claiming there was absolutely no voter fraud.

Every chance that the media had to denounce, Donald Trump was fully exercised.  Orange man bad what is the common theme no matter what TV channel you were watching or what newspaper you were reading.  Then there were the nighttime TV talk shows and of course, that ridiculous daytime dumpster fire trash show called The View. It has been a solid nine years of absolute preaching by the media that Donald Trump was an evil, tyrannical, Hitler like dictator.  They gambled everything, especially any semblance of credibility in their propaganda, smearing efforts.  


The media has obviously lost their credibility, which could never be regained.  Never forget, of course there are those people who want to believe the lies and have been actually programmed like cult members.


However, it’s very clear. The voters in the 2024 election have completely rejected what the media has been saying by electing Donald Trump and a landslide.  I have a question for the Media was it all worth it?
