Category Archives: Mr. Smith Takes on Washington

Justin O. Smith has lived in Tennessee off and on most of his adult life, and graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 1980, with a B.S. and a double major in International Relations and Cultural Geography – minors in Military Science and English, for what its worth. His real education started from that point on. Smith is a frequent contributor to the family of Kettle Moraine Publications – including Metropolis.Cafe

Smith: Fight for Your American Dreams and Freedom

Each of the issues I discuss may already be known to some or many, but my overall point is that these are merely symptoms manifested by a problem that is so much larger than them all, which is the fact our government is in a communist stranglehold that no one has yet seemed to know how to completely break. But if some within Corporate America can find the strength and the spine, they should resist and refuse to comply with any Biden executive order that goes against our Inalienable God-given Rights, especially when our conscience and desired path does no harm.

Good Americans are reluctant to resort to the same level of forceful, or violent, protest as the Far Left of the country, but they damned sure better start speaking up a damned sight more forcefully than they have to date, if they ever want to fully repel the ever more advancing and encroaching tyranny that has blackened America’s landscape and domestic halls from D.C to the flyover country from South Carolina to Tennessee and on to South Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas and Idaho and many other fine parts of the nation where our individual Liberty is cherished and loved.

Smith: Find the Courage to Save America…

I have great memories of this majestic country of ours, and I’ve traveled most of it, meeting the best and the worst people one could ever imagine. With all its beauty and all its ugliness, it’s still the best country on the planet in my humble opinion. And it so sorely hurts my heart to see Her put upon and attacked by people who only desire to destroy Her and remake Her into something unrecognizable, evil and vile in their quest for global power.

Smith ~ America: Death By Biden

This is the worse I have seen things in America in my 65 years, and unless the American people soon take things in their own hands and put an end to this administration’s folly, they’ll see America as they have known it all their life come to an end. I’m not suggesting all out rebellion, at least not yet; but some good ol’ fashioned civil disobedience is in order.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if some oil executive and a group of shareholders moved to extract oil offshore against Biden’s current ban and in violation of “federal law”? What if they told Biden, we’re going to do this because we need to make a living and this is our area of expertise? Just exactly what would Biden do, what could he do? Send out the Navy to stop them?

J.O.S.: Big Sister and New and Dark Days for America

~ Foreword ~
The more I think I’ve seen it all the more I’m proved wrong by this tyrannical Biden regime. They know without a doubt that this isn’t constitutional in any way shape or form, but they don’t care. They’re so intent on the fundamental transformation of America that the law means absolutely nothing to them, only that which they can get away with through back door lawless methods and double-dealing trickery.

Biden really is reminiscent of Wilson, who was a deep admirer of the German philosopher, Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Like Wilson, Biden seems to believe all ideas and institutions can be remade at will and each age has its own morality that manifests itself according to its times; that the Constitution must embody that zeitgeist. Biden isn’t that smart, but knowingly or otherwise, perhaps led by his handlers, he is adopting a position that creates a state into which individual will is absorbed and the state and the people become one, for better or worse.

More often than not, it also appears this regime is continuously looking towards China for more tips on how best to control so large a population as ours, and it goes without saying how dangerous this is for all of us.

The Democratic Party and the Biden regime truly are a very real and existential threat to all of America in the here and now. ~ J.O.S.

Smith: America Stands On A Precipice Defending Her Children

~ Foreword ~
Our country is facing so many crises today that those of us with some few years behind us can hardly believe we are still living in America. And everywhere one looks, it’s more than apparent and readily found in available evidence that virtually every damned crisis has formed as a direct result of recent policies and actions taken by this red, radical, Democratic Party Commie rat bastard regime.

It’s certainly not conservatives promoting the Drag Queen Story Hour in public libraries across the nation.

These Commies are using the very same methods and activism that they used to clear a path for homo “marriage”, and they are charging down this new immoral path that is nothing less than the grooming of America’s children, to make them mentally and spiritually weak and susceptible and prone to the advances of America’s perverts, deviants and sexual predators that seem to be standing on every street corner and in every playground, ballpark or any other place children congregate these days.

Smith to Heino: Tit for Tat

Editor’s Note: The following was posted in the Reply section of a recent column written by William Heino Sr. in response a previous column by Justin O. Smith for the Federal Observer. We warrant that the author’s comments were well worth a direct posting of his entire reply. (However, it has also been rumored that William Heino Sr. may in-fact be deceased.) ~ Ed.

Mr William Heino, SR;

The operative phrase in the Second Amendment is “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. The prefatory phrase about militias is an ablative absolute clause giving context for the main clause, and it is illuminating in that function. The Second Amendment does not say it protects the right of state militias to bear arms.

No one thinks that when the First Amendment speaks about the right of the people to petition the government that it means only to protect the rights of lobbyists for state governments. It means individuals. What the Second Amendment is saying is you can’t disarm the people under the pretext of regulating the militia. Continue reading

Smith: I’ll Carry My Firearm, “Law” or Not

Image from some years ago – it still fits!

In a country that was supposedly founded upon several inalienable God-given rights, one would think that America’s leaders would never seek to diminish, erode or abrogate them, but that’s just what they do and have done my entire adult life, because those rights stand in the way of their power and control over the people. Our rights are under constant attack by Democrats, who now more closely resemble Marxist tyrants and Republicans-in-Name-Only, who are statist globalists and equally repugnant to freedom-loving Americans, and recently these enemies of freedom and liberty saw fit to infringe upon our Second Amendment and our lawful right to self-defense, by inserting anti-firearm legislation into the recent $1.5 trillion spending bill through the Violence Against Women Act.

One should note that Joe Biden has long led the charge to eradicate our Second Amendment right, throughout his senate career, and as Vice-President in January of 2013, Biden led a gun control commission for the purpose of offering proposals to the White House and Congress for gun control laws and regulations.

Smith: Government Policy Shouldn’t Make American Life Worse

In years past, they have branded their Marxist-Maoist anti-American schemes as some sort of Green Energy “Marshall Plan”, as they now keep pushing their con and try to hand out “free” government run healthcare, free education, high-speed rails to replace air travel, a federal jobs guarantee — unless of course one refuses their toxic Covid “vaccine”, more codified family care and leave time [Trump got the ball rollin’ on this one], a national union, a universal base income paid to those unwilling to work and rebuilding every structure in the nation according to U.N. Agenda 21 “sustainable development” guidelines and new environmental regulations. Their plan closely follows the failed ‘Leap Manifesto’ advocated by Canada’s Commies, anti-capitalists and eco-socialists, such as Naomi Klein, who once wrote “shredding the free-market ideology that has dominated the global economy for more than three decades” is the only way to combat climate change.

Smith: I Am Ukrainian – Prepared to Fight, Prepared to Stay

Ukraine office workers heed call to arms

I am watching the epic saga of Ukraine unfolding with my own anxieties heightened by recent developments and a sense of hope for a peaceful end mixed with a foreboding that it will not, and the end results will prove horrific for the Ukrainian people and an ongoing miserable, unacceptable future problem for America and the world. The entire world surely must be thinking much the same thing: “Don’t let this be WWIII“. Continue reading

Smith: A Moment of Racial Reckoning In America

There’s so much to address these days, and I started to write a comprehensive piece covering the bits and pieces from Climate Change and Biden’s failing energy policies to crime, out-of-control spending and the national debt and Biden’s handling of Ukraine. But then I noted our own invasion, not so peaceful once one gives it deeper scrutiny, is still ongoing at a mad dash and totally unabated other than the limited measures the affected states have taken.

We must keep the heat on this topic. I just hope some poor, lone author isn’t still having to write about unrestrained Illegal Immigration two decades down the road, as America becomes an unimaginable hellhole. Continue reading

Smith: On the Path of Dissolution and Civil War

And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.” ~ Revelation 20:9 KJV

I hate to be gloom and doom, even though the Biden administration is currently being checked to some degree and his plans to spend outrageous sums is on hold, but I’m just not as optimistic as most, simply because there are at least two generations of hyper-indoctrinated folks out there ready to follow whatever asinine order this clown delivers. On top of that, we find that too many in Corporate America are willing and already working to implement his agenda without any legislation to back it up.

They’ve had a 100 years of indoctrination and planning, and that will not easily be countered in this decade or the next, and we all may be forced to ride this to the end and a final catastrophic economic collapse that includes our creditors refusing to lend any more money. Think Venezuela and the people scrambling for goods without any real currency of any value at hand and the stand offs and fighting that followed between opposing groups in the population and against the soldiers and the government.

Smith: America Cannot Survive Her Fools and Traitors – Unless…

It’s pretty hard to be positive about America’s chances, when we see so many anti-American people in all walks of life in every major region of the country, doing their dead level best to usher in full blown socialism, if not a totalitarian form of communism, regardless of what it will cost our freedom and liberty.

We’re in a whole heap of trouble, yessirree we are.

You and others may see a ray of hope, but I see the nation descending into a great civil upheaval, more than likely a full blown hot civil war, at any point between now and 2028, possibly 2035 when I suspect the economic situation will rapidly facilitate such a war. All that’s missing is the right spark, but America is sitting on the edge of the abyss peering into the darkness.

Can America pull back from certain disaster. I’m thinking we may already be past the point of no return, but perhaps a major event and some Dark Horse will emerge to change the tide. It’s anyone’s guess at this point. Continue reading

Smith: Stand Against the Rulers of Darkness

Occasionally, I delve into religion and politics, because unlike far too many who suggest the two don’t mix, I’m of the mind that Jesus wouldn’t have told them the same. Our faith is and integral part of who we are as a people and a nation, and although Christianity is currently waning in America, our nation was in fact built upon the Christian faith, despite anything historical revisionists care to argue.

It’s beyond troubling to see so many Church leaders urging their congregations to abide by the Covid Vaccine Mandates and Passports, as if any real safety concerns over the Vaccine’s chemical and biological make-up are somehow irrelevant and to be dismissed as hysteria or unfounded, when the opposite is true. And of late, at too many opportunities, we see Church leaders submitting to tyranny when Freedom and Liberty are hanging in the balance.

Submitting to evil and tyranny isn’t God’s plan for mankind, not if one knows and believes their Bible, the Word of God. Even though most of us Faithful understand that Satan and the minions of Hell don’t prevail against the Bride of Christ in the end — witnessed by way of Matthew 16:17-19, that doesn’t mean we are to do nothing and simply wring our hands as the world is thrown into chaos and the size of real and tangible casualties grows to mammoth proportions from our inaction. Continue reading

Smith: One Step Closer to Rule by Decree

We know who Biden and his people are, and he’s pushing the country towards authoritarian socialism. He’s essentially abandoned whatever “moderate” views he ever held and opted for the communist worldview to the dismay of many.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. Biden may not be a communist, but he’s sure quackin; like one these days. Continue reading

Smith: Something Wicked…

There Are Bad Men Out There

Our enemies certainly do still exist in great numbers, and it should greatly trouble any reasonable American that we have a bumbling fool who loves the Communists of his party and who has never seen an enemy of America who he couldn’t soon snuggle up to and crawl in bed with, in the same vein as the Traitor named John Kerry, who has been betraying America, since April 22nd 1971.

We should all expect to see a number of hits from various enemies, now that another cowardly appeaser holds the office. Or worse yet, we will soon be engaged in Benghazi style misadventures, since, as Ric Grenell recently noted, Susan Rice appears to be leading a shadow government behind the scenes, with Biden’s mind basically gone and Kamala basically clueless.

Whatever the case behind the Colonial event, the nation has neglected its most important sections of infrastructure for much too long. Let’s hope it all doesn’t implode upon us all like a fragile house of cards anytime soon. ~ J.O.S.

Smith: To Live Without Freedom and Liberty Is a Sort of Death

The nation is in deep, deep trouble, and whether we actually lose the day, because so many of our countrymen are currently enthralled with Marx and Mao, remains to be seen. In a straight civil war, I’d venture they wouldn’t defeat America’s conservative, Christian and independent patriots, but there’s the rub. Nothing is beyond these anti-American Commies, up to and including inviting foreigners to their side to ensure a Communist victory and the end of our republic.

I actually do believe we will eventually see a civil war. And regardless of how it shakes out in the end, who wins and loses, we will see an ongoing push through battles between groups and tribes on both sides of the political aisle, in every city and every community, for many long decades, quite possibly the rest of this century — more than likely until one side wins decisively. Continue reading

Smith: Racism Burns Bright In The Democratic Party

The more I listen to these Democrats, I cannot see how this nation ever gets back on track, without first going through the cleansing fire of a massive civil upheaval, or even civil war. Every position these Marxists and Maoists have taken of late certainly do not allow for any compromise with Christians and conservatives, and they surely intend it to be as such, in that they hold a current majority, no matter its slim nature; they seem to think it is enough, and it has prompted them to move in an ever increasingly dangerous direction for America. Continue reading

Smith: End of the Road

Back when the United States Mexico Canada Agreement was being advocated by President Trump, I was screaming at the top of my lungs that it was a terrible deal. Among other things, it diminished our U.S. sovereignty, it ratified treaties, like the Law of the Sea that had been rejected by several U.S. administrations, it facilitated illegal immigration and many more detrimental mandates and measures, simply because Pres. Trump did not place the best people on it or give it the proper oversight, as it was being negotiated. It was negotiated by a team that was largely comprised of Obama administration holdovers in the State Department. Continue reading

Smith: Leave This World With A Clear Conscience

“You and I Have a rendezvous with destiny. We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.” If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.” ~ President Ronald Reagan

Americans cannot yet say that they have done “all that could be done”. In a moral, sane and logical country there isn’t any way the Democratic Party lunatics and a multitude of communists should now have control of the United State’s reins of power. However, today we see these red, radical Democrats moving to implement a system through an emerging cooperation between corporations and this rising socialist government, that controls and cancels Conservatives, Christians, “deplorables” and “Trump supporters” en masse, while also seeking to implement a sort of “social credit” system, that intends to make America more closely resemble totalitarian Communist China; and before we fail our children any further, now more than ever, those who love this country must resist and fight harder than ever, to prevent the sun from setting on freedom and liberty.

A soft sort of fascism has always been present within our government and institutions, since the days of President Woodrow Wilson, but now, emboldened by the lack of any counters against the communist backed Antifa and Black Lives Matter, Joe Biden and the socialists and communists of the Democratic Party are merging government and corporations in a massive cooperative effort that is also implementing a hardcore style of fascism aimed at destroying any and all who fail to fall completely in line with their dystopian view of America and the “solutions” they believe to be necessary, flawed as they are.

Smith: Hoist The Traitors On The Hanging Tree

Any reasonable American can properly understand the need to be cautious whenever deciding what information should be declassified and released, in any special set of circumstances, in order to avoid compromising or harming U.S. national security. But what we have seen in the many months, since this Obama/Clinton treason came to light, is an active resistance from within the intelligence community and every single agency, that is aimed at impeding the investigations by John Durham of the DOJ and DNI John Ratcliffe.

Too many across the board in each of the Alphabet Agencies have a vested interest in keeping the truth suppressed, for fear of being outed as traitors themselves. Continue reading

Draw the sword and Prepare… Towards a new day…

The following was submitted by the writer early this day in response to a recent posting of his on the Federal Observer. Although it was meant as a personal note the me, his message is truly to ALL of us and needs to be read with an understanding of from where we have come, and what our choices may soon be in the future. It is up to each of us – NOW – to draw the sword and prepare…~ Jeffrey Bennett, Editor

I have to make myself think past it and what I hope to be the endgame for the side we stand on – a victory for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, even if it may once again have to be bought and paid for with more bloodshed in the near future. If is a huge word, in the sense of if only this all is eventually resolved peacefully; my own hope on that front has grown slim to none.

I hate to hear You are having such a difficult time of it, but You wouldn’t be a normal man, I don’t believe, if You could look at this and be totally unaffected. It troubles me greatly myself, and I’m sure that many of our fellow patriots are struggling with what they see arriving, but we’ll face it together, knowing what we know, and prepared to put an end to it quickly, with or without the sanction of the U.S. government. Continue reading

Smith: America Lives or Dies on the Moral Character of Her People

Don’t Let America Fade Into the Sunset!

America abandoned a pretty good system rather quickly with the onset of our first Civil,War, that led to a gradual dismantling of our federal system, under the idea of “liberal democracy”. But, the abandonment went to light-speed after 1913. and the rise of economic fascism, something that will be written about for years to come, assuming America doesn’t descend into those “thousand years of darkness” Reagan once spoke of regarding if America should ever lose Her way.

America is far and away from the Founders’ original vision for the country, and I fear that we may never return, not without a hard fought war and thousands more left dead and dying. So, the only question one need ask must be “What price are you willing to pay to live free?” Or, do we allow ourselves to be subjugated and so let the tyrants live? What life is it under any totalitarian or authoritarian government? It is no life worth living, least ways not as a broken subject; it is a life that any liberty-loving individual lives as a rebel, and “outlaw”. Continue reading

Smith: Where Are Those Sons of Liberty

“I should like merely to understand how it happens that so many men, so many villages, so many cities, so many nations, sometimes suffer under a single tyrant who has no other power than the power they give him; who is unable to harm them only to the extent to which they have the willingness to bear him; who could do them absolutely no injury unless they preferred to put up with him rather than contradict him. Surely a striking situation! Yet it is so common that one must grieve the more and wonder the less at the spectacle of a million men in serving wretchedness, their necks under the yoke, not constrained by a greater multitude than they …” ~ Etienne de la Boetie, 1552, The Politics of Obedience

As we look all around the country, we see thousands of real patriots on state capitol lawns and at city halls. But why isn’t that number in the millions? It boggles my mind that so many who shout to the heavens their patriotic feelings for America, wrap themselves in the flag, and sew their little militia patches on the shoulders of their jackets for the most part do absolutely nothing to actually advance the cause of liberty in America or stop these tyrants, who are currently abusing power to a degree that can never be tolerated or allowed in our country again.

It almost seems as if many have already been cowed by these tyrants, or they simply lack a hardcore will to be free, waxing gently on their couch in their complacency, talking a good game and then refusing to exert any real effort towards ensuring these elected officials, who have overreached their powers and authority, are brought to an accounting and liberty is restored. With 327 million citizens in America, one would think that surely more would have stood and engaged in civil disobedience making these orders essentially unenforceable, null and void.

What we are witnessing in this country today is absolutely unnatural. Our countrymen better get up off their knees and quit being subservient followers and cowering “Yes men” and women to our petty tyrants and start discovering their own ability to freely think for themselves once more, or we are done as a nation. Forever more will our society be looking to Big Brother for answers to everything from how to run their business to what to wear and how to cook their steak or what temperature to set their air conditioner. And I wouldn’t be surprised to hear some of them ask if it’s ok to use Charmin to wipe their ass. ~ J.O.S.

Smith: Fight for the Soul of America

I have mulled the problem of this communist movement in our country over and over again, and I only know for sure, that for me, there’s no compromise to be had, regarding the demands that are first and foremost in their agenda, as they use Antifa, BLM, the Queer Community and the Global Warming Alarmists as their shock-troops, their modern day Brown Shirts. They are using the immoral dregs of society to destroy the very infrastructure necessary to ever make America better through truly proactive and benevolent pursuits that come through the mutual cooperation of all Americans rather than intimidation and violence.

These communists who love to sound so altruistic are the same monsters who murder old men, attack lone elderly women in wheel chairs or simply trying to bring home a tiny sack of groceries. These are the same monsters who chant “Stop the Hate” and “Love Trumps Hate”, while in the next breath they curse and scream at their fellow Americans — they kick, spit on, beat and set fire to their fellow Americans.

Smith: Don’t Allow America to Be Exploited By Fear

“The only thing to fear – is fear itself!” ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1933

I watched President Trump’s message to the American people with some concern and something akin to a bit of nagging doubt that he really meant much of what he stated. He was so robotic in his words that you could easily tell they were the words of someone else. He has once again shifted away from his own initial gut instinct, which was right from the start, to now mouth something compiled by some Flunky advisors, for purposes I cannot fully see, other than they hope throwing money at the problem will make Wall Street and the Sheep believe something of real substance is being done; for the moment, nothing could be further from the truth, as near as I can see, unless one wants to point to the travel bans.
