Gentlemen, while I do not wish to be contentious, I am grieved by my Christian brothers who claim to be Libertarians to some degree. Libertarianism is a dangerous belief system that confuses some of our people. I might agree on some issue with a Mormon but that does not make me want to be a Mormon. Mormonism is an cult when held up to...
Monkey-See, Monkey-Do! May 31, 2009 Over the nearly three-quarters of a century I have lived and observed the goings-on around me, American society has degenerated – - we might call it “reverse evolution,” I suppose – - from a once well-established “greatest in the world” to today’s “monkey-see, monkey-do” aberration. The proof? Everywhere you look. If...
May 31, 2009 If the “Cap and Trade” Energy Tax gets through the Obmocratic Congress, as it almost certainly will, the Obacuum cleaner will start sucking an additional $1,500 per year out of the already-shrinking pockets of the average family of four in this country. And that’s just a drop in the bucket...
May 31, 2009 When I first started refereeing amateur boxing back in the early 1960s, I was very apprehensive about the possibility of a boxer getting seriously injured if I should wait too long to stop a one-sided fight (amateur boxing matches are three 3-minute rounds, and many don’t last that long). The veteran...
May 27, 2009 Though I seldom miss an opportunity to rail against politicians, I probably don’t do enough of it. We have to keep at it till somebody hears us….somebody with sufficient courage to help us do something about it. Theoretically, if we still had the representative republic created by the Constitution for the United States...
As recieved from Jackie Juntti America’s friend, Bob Basso has issued his latest video. It is well worth the time to watch it. I have copied some elected officials on this email. Hopefully they too will take time to watch this video. Please share the link with others. We are only two months away...
May 27, 2009 Those who regularly read my works are likely already aware of all that follows. I write about things which interest me. I’m not paid for my writing, so I’m beholden to no one, I answer to no one, I cater to no one, and I pander to no one. If it...
May 27, 2009 The answer to the second question is “Obama.” Obama’s the puppet. In speech after speech after speech, we see him stand on the podium, behind the lectern, look to the left, speak a few words, look to the right, continuing smoothly, speak a few more words, then back to the left,...
Thank you very much for working with me on the poll question of who will be the next Mayor of Jackson. This particular test of the polling use and flexibility was successful. There were several options that I liked. One was the option of additional suggested polls which two used. I liked the charts...
May 26, 2009 Most people are average – - otherwise, the word wouldn’t mean what it means – - but try telling someone (s)he’s average. Most people believe themselves to be above average, but some of them are necessarily mistaken. People others classify as “trash” don’t consider themselves trash. Folks who consider themselves super special...
These are the bills that will be up for vote for the House and Senate or in the House or Senate sub committees during the week of May 25th . I have given thumbs up for bills that I believe worthy and thumbs down for those that I might consider less than worthy. Please let me know if...
May 25, 2009 “Land of the free, and home of the brave” is a mythical, albeit wishful, concept penned by a songwriter. The dream bears no resemblance to the reality of life in the United States today. It’s possible that the two or three percent who ARE brave may eventually lead the masses to avoid the impending peril that is near-total slavery,...
It’s that time again. The enclosed file is complete except the Resolution authorizing the Children’s Museum of West TN Foundation, Inc. to relocate its operation into the city-owned Carnegie Center and the Lease agreement with the Children’s Museum of West TN Foundation, Inc. for use and operation of the Carnegie Center. If you read...
Mr. Warren Mass The John Birch Society P.O. Box 8040 Appleton, WI 54912-8040 May 22, 2009 Dear Mr. Mass: Thank you so much for your kind and generous reply to my April 28th letter. I had asked for a JBS response to my proposal that we advocate a change from popularity-contest elections (PC) to...
May 21, 2009 It was late summer of 1985. I remember the period as though it were yesterday. On the day my wife’s father died, a young nine-months’ pregnant mother and her two children (four and two) were barbarously and mercilessly slaughtered in cold blood, in their modest home in a middle-class neighborhood on a hot,...
by Fred Marshall Jr. May 20, 2009If you were handcuffed in the back seat of a police cruiser en route to prison to begin serving a life sentence, how important would mowing your yard or repairing your leaking kitchen sink be to you? Not very. Absent the free ride and the life sentence, however,...
Folks, The item I am sending from a WGEN reader and also a very dear friend in TN is one that I want you to read carefully so that you will comprehend the need to QUESTION AUTHORITY and DO NOT ACCEPT WHAT IS SAID TO YOU BY ANY GOVERNMENT AGENT AS BEING FACTUAL OR...
“When you ‘compromise’ your ‘principles’ to reach a ‘consensus‘ you have violated your core values and therefore have become your own enemy within.”
There are 18,857 company headquarters in one building on Cayman Island. An estimated $21 billion in US taxes are avoided in this building. Included in offshore corporations not paying taxes are KBR, Bank of America (with 1145 foreign tax shelters) Morgan Stanley (with 270 foreign tax shelters), and CITI group (with 427 foreign tax shelters)....

First, if you followed the vote-tracking link in our alert yesterday, you might have noticed that Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee was...
May 14, 2009 During the last five or six years of my Army career, I befriended a Puerto Rican soldier whose first name was Geronimo. Everyone called him Jose, I suspect that was his middle name, but it could have been a nickname. I met him on the night club circuit, an environment I...
Within the next two years there will be a campaign for a new Mayor for the city of Jackson. Although not annouced Mayor Jerry Gist has hinted that he will not run again. Some names have come up for the position, even mine. So let us, either in fun or in earnest, give us...
Last week the Birmingham Business Journal asked the question of its readers: Who would you support for Governor (Alabama)? If the election season were today, which potential candidate would you support in the 2010 Alabama governor’s race? Of the 8 or 9 possible contenders Mr. Roy Moore won by 64%. The closest candidate to...
Folks, I have been bellering about WATER for many years now and few listened. Each year these thieves we let sit in our public offices just keep pushing forward and never back off in reaching their end goals. You might live without a lot of things but you won’t live long without WATER no...
Deteriorating Health Update When the wheel bearings in one wheel have to be replaced, it’s a really good bet the other three aren’t far behind. Heath is that way. When one knee joint wears out, the other can’t be in great shape. And so it is with this old decrepit body of mine. ...
I have stopped worrying about what has happened and I will start concentrating on what will happen. These are the bills that will be up for vote for the House and Senate or in the House or Senate sub committees. I have given thumbs up for bills that I believe worthy and thumbs down for those that I...
Ned Hunter wrote a story for the Jackson Sun in regards to the Jackson Energy Authority’s financial position in which I am included. I have copied the page for my files which I have been journaling for about 8 years on JEA ‘s actions in both the utilities as well as telecom dealings. Most of my concern has...
Congratulations on your efforts to get this bill passed. I know we helped make a differece as you can see the strong support the bill received. Jimmy Naifeh had his head handed to him on this one. It would seem that his long strangle hold on our 2nd and 10th Amendment rights has come...
In 1360, The peace of Brittany was concluded by France and England. Brittany is the peninsula on the northwest corner of France. Those people have ethnic ties with England as close as with the rest of France. To this day there are inhabited islands off the coast of Brittany which belong to England…sort of...
Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury: Everybody knows. Everybody knows. There are so very many things in our lives that “everybody knows” that are factually not true. For example, if you were to randomly select one thousand people in this city and ask them if the following statement is true or...
Posted are the bills coming before the Tennessee State House and the Senate and their committees. I have given thumbs up for bills that I believe worthy and thumbs down for those that I might consider less than worthy. Since I have not had the chance to read the bills in their entirety I am hardly an expert. ...
Below is the last week in review. These are the bills that were voted on either on the floor of the House or Senate or in committees. I have given a thumbs up for bills that I believe worthy and thumbs down for those that I might consider less than worthy. Since I have not had...
At about 2 P.M. today, I was out on the front patio having a smoke when a lady with a clip-on name label walked up and spoke. She said “I’m with the Census and I need to confirm that this is 1420 North 20th Avenue. Is it?” From where she stood there were three...
