Iowa Roots
Born and raised in the great state of Iowa — yes, on a farm — I have found a profound passion for learning politics and inspiring Americans to get involved. In Iowa, working hard is a given. You’re taught to take responsibility for your future, to be quiet and listen so you can better understand, but also to step up when necessary. Each is equally important. Too often we think we need to have things perfectly figured out before we take the first step. From here on out however, let’s all agree that in most cases, that mentality is outdated and extremely inefficient. All it takes is a little grit and some passion, and the rest will sort itself out.
My Educational Journey
I decided at the age of 18 to forego a journalism degree and instead received a master’s in Exercise Physiology with a focus on childhood obesity. After writing my thesis, and upon graduation, I realized the food here is not healthy and our “health” care system is set up for failure: for treatment, not for prevention. The most important thing I learned from grad school, aside from learning how to research, is the concept of “temporary truths.” One of my advisors introduced this notion in class, and it has stuck with me ever since. Things and people evolve, and as a result, can change an entire society’s perception of what is considered morally acceptable.
My Political Awakening
I voted for Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 and after not voting in 2012 due to my dislike of both candidates, I cast my vote for Donald J. Trump in 2016. I frequently discuss this shift and why I am proud to be a Trump supporter now. I hope my journey can help others see the heavy propaganda and other tactics used on us for many years. Inspiration from George I have every original George Magazine from 1995 to 2001 as well as both George books. Much like JFK Jr’s stance, politics is too important to be left to the politicians. We must learn to put our focus on what unites us, seek to understand our differences, and celebrate the passion we share for the future of our country. The Power of Free Speech I believe everyone deserves a voice, even those society deems dangerous or unworthy because in the end, I trust the American people to form their own conclusions. As Louis Brandeis put it in 1927, “If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.” Join Me in Taking Action I hope you enjoy my site, but more importantly, I hope you to take action and get involved!
The United Nations: The House That Hiss Built It is Time for Us to Get Out
Sportswriter Fred Lieb coined the term “The House that Ruth built” referring to the old Yankee Stadium which opened in 1923. Not too far from Yankee Stadium is “The House that Hiss Built” which is the United Nations Headquarters. Alger Hiss was the UN’s first acting secretary who co-authored, with a Soviet national, the United Nations charter. He was also, as the world discovered a few years later, a Soviet agent during Stalin’s reign of terror. That is correct. The man who cowrote the U.N. Charter, who served as an advisor to Franklin Roosevelt, was a communist spy. Former Communist agent Whittaker Chambers exposed Hiss. He authored the book Witness to tell his story and his connection to Hiss. This and many other facts are kept from our nation’s government school children in their Model United Nations programs.
So, it should come as no surprise that the U.N. Charter and its Universal Declaration of Rights passed are diametrically opposed to the United States Constitution and Declaration of Independence. In the United States, rights come from God and the main purpose of government is to protect those God given rights. The U.N.’s organic documents make no reference to God, and it implies that rights come from governments, and can be taken away by those same governments. The U.N’s Declaration of Rights grants the right of religion, the right of nationality, education, and even the right to leisure, but in Article 29, all of these government granted rights can be taken away:
“ In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order, and the general welfare in a democratic society.
These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.”
This explains why the U.N. membership is replete with despotic regimes.
October 24 marks the 80th anniversary of the United Nations. It was sold to a war weary world as Mankind’s last and best hope for peace. In reality, its purpose from its inception was to be a world government. The long-standing goals of the U.N. include a world army, a fully functioning world court, a world tax, world education standards, and world population control which is already being implemented in Third-World countries.
WHO
WHO-The World Health Organization- is a UN’ entity founded in 1948. It’s head, Dr. Tedius Ghebreyesuswas a senior member of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front-a Marxist-Leninist terrorist group. He also has close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. This explains why WHO adopted the CCP’s Covid protocols which in turn the U.S. adopted. President Trump wisely got us out WHO for the second time but not before the damage was done.
UN “Peacekeepers”
One of the most Orwellian terms I know is “U.N. Peacekeepers.” They were first used in Katanga, a province in what was once called the Belgian Congo, now Zaire in the early 1960s. Soviet trained Patrice Lumumba became the leader of the nation. Dr. Moise Tshombe, a pro-Western Christian leader of Katanga seceded from the nation. In direct violation of its charter, the U.N. sent in its “peacekeepers” mainly white soldiers from Ireland-were sent to Katanga. They murdered, and raped civilians and bombed hospitals and radio stations. Their mission in Côte d’Ivoire from 2003-2017 was rife with sexual abuse of children. Other nations that experienced sexual abuse by U.N. Peacekeepers include Sri Lanka, Haiti. Sudan, Cambodia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, Bosnia, and Kosovo. U.N. troops tortured to death a Somali teenager, and the pro-U.N. American media outlets in the U.S. ignored this horror.
Agenda 21-2030
The UN’s tentacles aren’t in faraway nations; they are in our neighborhood. In 1992, it introduced Agenda 21, now Agenda 2030. President Bush signed on to it and President Clinton’s administration made it the policy of the U.S. Government. Today, hundreds of towns and cities including Wolfeboro and Concord, NH belong to another U.N entity, ICLEI-International Council for Local Environmental Initiative. No peacekeepers are needed. The policies of Agenda 21 are being implemented locally. Plastic bag and straw bans, bike lanes on busy streets, solar panels in what were once green fields, and climate change propaganda in our schools are just a few examples of the local implementation of Agenda 21. This is a quote from the “Father of Agenda 21, the late Maurice Strong, who was a billionaire oilman and New Age devotee:
“Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class — involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work air conditioning, and suburban housing — are not sustainable.”
Sen. Mike Lee of Utah has introduced the Disengaging Entirely from the United Nations Debacle (DEFUND) Act, which calls for the United States’ complete withdrawal from the United Nations. It is high time that we got out of the United Nations.

Miscalculation of Global Proportions led Columbus to attempt a a westward voyage – American Minute with Bill Federer
Miscalculation of Global Proportions led Columbus to attempt a a westward voyage
Columbus was looking for a SEA route to India and China because nearly 40 years earlier Muslim Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453 cutting off the LAND routes.
A biography of Columbus was written by Washington Irving in 1828, titled A History of the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus.
In it, Irving created an imaginative dialogue of Europeans arguing over whether the Earth was round or flat. His book was so popular, that people actually thought such a debate took place when it had not.
Washington Irving was known for mixing entertainment with history and legend.He wrote Rip Van Winkle, The Legend of Sleepy Hallow, and Diedrich Knickerbocker’s A History of New-York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty, filled with tales of visits from St. Nick coining to New York City, which he nickname “Gotham.”
Europeans knew the Earth was round.Pythagoras had speculated that the earth was a sphere in the 6th century BC, and Aristotle validated it in the 4th century BC.
In the 3rd century BC, Eratosthenes computed the circumference of the earth with amazing accuracy.
He had heard that at Aswan, Egypt, the sun cast no shadow down a well at noon on the summer solstice, June 21, yet at the exact same moment in Alexandria, Egypt, a column cast a shadow with a 7.2 degree angle.
7.2 degrees is 1/50th of a 360 degree circle.
It was known that the distance between Alexandria and Aswan was 5,000 stadia, approximately 500 miles, or 800 kilometers.
All Eratosthenes had to do was multiply 500 miles times 50, which equals 25,000 miles, just 99 miles off from the Earth’s actual circumference of 24,901 miles (or 800 km x 50 to equal 40,000 kilometers, just 75 kilometers less than the actual 40,075 km circumference).
Eratosthenes also calculated distance to the sun and moon, the tilt of the earth, and created the first world map with parallel latitude and meridian longitude lines.
In the 1st century BC, Posidonius used stellar observations at Alexandria and Rhodes to confirm Eratosthenese’s measurements.
In the 2nd century AD, astronomer Ptolemy had written a Guide to Geography, in which he described a spherical earth with one ocean connecting Europe and Asia.
St. Isidore of Seville, Spain, wrote in the 7th century that the earth was round.
Around the year 723 AD, Saint Bede the Venerable wrote in his work Reckoning of Time that the Earth was spherical.
The Book of Isaiah 40:22 states:
“It is He that sitteth upon the globe of the earth.” (Douay-Rheims Bible)
Columbus knew the Earth was round, but the question was, how far around.
The confusion was over the length of a mile.
Columbus read Cardinal Pierre d’Ailly’s “Imago Mundi,” which gave Alfraganus’ estimate that a degree of latitude (at the equator) was around 56.7 miles.
What Columbus did not realize was that this was expressed in longer Arabic miles rather than in shorter Roman miles.
Therefore Columbus incorrectly estimated the Earth to be smaller in circumference, about 19,000 miles, rather than the actual nearly 24,901 miles.Columbus knew there was land to the west, as he may have read Ptolemy’s account, written in 150 AD, of the Greek sailor named Alexander, who visited the Far East port city of Kattigara, beyond the Malay Peninsula — Golden Chersonese.
He could have heard of the Roman traveler, during the reign of Roman Emperors Antoninus Pius or Marcus Aurelius, who made his way to the court of the Chinese Emperor of the Han Dynasty.Indeed, Roman glassware and medallions dating from this period were found at Guangzhou along the South China Sea, and at Óc Eo in Vietnam, near the Chinese province of Jiaozhi.
Great amounts of Roman coins were found in India, indicating there was Roman sea trade.
Columbus most likely heard the story of Irish monk St. Brendan, who sailed west in 530 AD to “The Land of the Promised Saints which God will give us on the last day.”Columbus would have known of the Christian Viking Leif Erickson’s voyage in the year 1000 to Vinland (Newfoundland), called Markland in the Nordic Grœnlendinga Saga.
A Dominican friar in Milan, Italy, named Galvaneus Flamma, wrote an essay titled Cronica universalis, c.1345, in which he referred to the Icelandic description of a wooded land far to the west called Marckalada.
Columbus owned a copy of Marco Polo’s travels to China and India in 1271.He studied Pliny’s “Natural History,” Sir John Mandeville, and Pope Pius II’s “Historia Rerum Ubique Gestarum.”
There were accounts that after the Crusades had ended, some Swedes in 1362 sailed to Greenland, and possibly beyond to North America, being the alleged background for the Kensington Runestone.
Columbus may have possibly seen maps, rumored to have been in Portugal’s royal archives, from China’s treasure fleets which were sent out in 1421 by Ming Emperor Zhu Di, led by Admiral Zheng He.Columbus corresponded with Florentine physician Paolo dal Pozzo Toscanelli, who suggested China was just 5,000 miles west of Portugal.
Based on this, Columbus estimated that Japan, or as Marco Polo called it “Cipangu,” was only 3,000 Roman miles west of the Canary Islands, rather than the actual 12,200 miles.
Since no ship at that time could carry enough food and water for such a long voyage, Columbus would have never set sail if he had known the actual distance.
As a young man, Columbus began sailing on a trip to a Genoese colony in the Aegean Sea named Chios.
In 1476, he sailed on an armed convoy from Genoa to northern Europe, docking in Bristol, England, and Galway, Ireland, and even possibly Iceland in 1477.
When Muslim Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453 and hindered land trade routes from Europe to India and China, Portugal, which had been freed from Islamic occupation for two centuries, began to search for alternative sea routes.
W.L. Grant, Professor of Colonial History, Queens University, Kingston, Ontario, wrote in the introduction of The Voyages
and Explorations of Samuel de Champlain (published 1911, The Courier Press, A.S. Barnes Company):
“The history of Western Civilization begins in a conflict with the Orient, a conflict of which it maybe the end is not yet.
But the routes between East and West have been trodden by the caravans of trade more often even than by the feet of armies.
The treasures of the East were long brought overland to Alexandria, or Constantinople, or the cities of the Levant, and thence distributed to Europe by the galleys of Genoa or of Venice.
But when the Turk placed himself astride the Bosporus, and made Egypt his feudatory, new routes had to be found.”
Socialist historian Howard Zinn admitted in A People’s History of the United States (1980):“Now that the Turks had conquered Constantinople and the eastern Mediterranean, and controlled the land routes to Asia, a sea route was needed.
Portuguese sailors were working their way around the southern tip of Africa.
Spain decided to gamble on a long sail across an unknown ocean.”
Portugal, under Prince Henry the Navigator, led the world in the science of navigation and cartography (map-making), and developed a light ship that could travel fast and far, the “caravel.”
During Portugal’s Golden Age of Discovery under King John II, Columbus sailed along the west coast of Africa between 1482-1485, reaching the Portuguese trading port of Elmina on the coast of Guinea.
In 1498, Portuguese sailor Vasco de Gama did make it around South Africa to India.
But six years before that, in 1492, the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella defeated Muhammad XII of Granada and drove the last of the Islamic Nasrid Dynasty out of Spain.
The Spanish Monarchs then joined the quest for a sea trade route to the India and China.
They backed Columbus’ plan.Though Columbus was wrong about the miles and degrees of longitude, he did understand trade winds across the Atlantic.
On August 3, 1492, Columbus set sail on the longest voyage to that date out of the sight of land. Trade winds called “easterlies” pushed Columbus’ ships for five weeks to the Bahamas.On OCTOBER 12, 1492, Columbus sighted what he thought was India.
He imagined Haiti was Japan and Cuba was the tip of China.He called the first island he saw “San Salvador” for the Holy Savior.
W.L. Grant continued in the introduction of The Voyagesand Explorations of Samuel de Champlain (1911, The Courier Press, A.S. Barnes Co.):
“In the search for these were made the three greatest voyages in history, those of Columbus, of Vasco da Gama, and greatest of all of Magellan.
In his search for the riches of Cipangu (Japan), Columbus stumbled upon America.
The great Genoese lived and died under the illusion that he had reached the outmost verge of Asia; and though even in his lifetime men realized that what he had found was no less than a new world.”
In his journal, Columbus referred to the native inhabitants as “indians” as he was convinced he had successfully arrived in India:
“So that they might be well-disposed towards us, for I knew that they were a people to be … converted to our Holy Faith rather by love than by force, I gave to some red caps and to others glass beads …
They became so entirely our friends that … I believe that they would easily be made Christians.”

Why Won’t the Lasker Foundation Admit That Its Founders Were Militant Racists and White Supremacists
Members of the Left love to find racism where it doesn’t exist. We have racist roads, and racist trees. Being on time is a racist construct. Hard sciences are racist. Everything and everyone are racists. But the leftists race mongers and hustlers have overlooked the racism of the founders of the Lasker Foundation-Albert and Mary Lasker. The foundation’s website tells us little of Albert. He was more than a “pioneer adverting executive” he was the main funder of Margaret Sanger’s Negro Project. And his “saintly wife, Mary not only ran one of Sanger’s birth control “clinics” but was a close friend of Sanger, a racist and moral degenerate.
Recently, we called the Lasker Foundation to ask why their website doesn’t mention the face that they were hard core racists. Te nice lady who answered our call had no idea but will look into it and have someone call us back. We don’t expect a call back but we suggest that readers give the foundation a call and respectfully ask then about it. Their number is 212-286-0222. You can find information about the Lasker’s in the book The Racist Roots of Planned Parenthood and Its Legacy of Death.

The Weekly Sam: An Open Letter to American Jews by Sam Blumenfeld
(The following is from the Sam Blumenfeld Archives. It was written in 1960 during the Kennedy-Nixon Campaign, but if he were alive today, he could have written a letter warning Jews and Americans of the anti-Semitic polices of Kamala Harris. Sam was the founder of American Friends of Algeria.)
Recently. three prominent Jewish leaders protested to Vice President Nixon because his press secretary had brought to their attention an editorial in an Israeli newspaper urging American Jews to vote for Nixon. The Jewish leaders were somewhat shocked because they were appealed to as Jews and not simply as Americans, and in their protest, they termed the press secretary’s action as Han insult to our faith.” This protest, the Jewish leaders asserted. was a personal action on their part and did not represent the opinions of the membership of their organizations. However, the protest as carried and reported in the press gave readers the impression that these leaders were speaking for the entire Jewish community. It is for this reason that I feel compelled to address this letter to ~ coreligionists who are somewhat dismayed and confused by this whole incident and who suspect that in all of this smoke there may be some fire.
As an American Jew I do not consider it an insult to my faith to be informed of opinion in security-sensitive Israel concerning our Presidential candidates and their policies. The Israeli newspaper, in its awkward way, was trying to say what a great many Americans of all faiths firmly believe that Kennedy’s foreign policy does represent a line of appeasement which could ultimately lead to the destruction of Israel and the West. Do I speak as a biased Republican? No, for I am a registered Democrat who this November will be voting Republican for the first time. Am I making groundless assertions or distorting Senator Kennedy’s words? Again, no. for the record is there for everyone who wants to see it in a. collection of the Senator’s ‘speeches entitled Strategy for Peace, and the Senator has not repudiated one word of it. Take, for example, the matter of Algeria–whose fate in a geopolitical sense has a very direct bearing on the future security of Israeli
The Senator has made his views quite clear on Algeria. In a startling Senate speech in 1957 strongly echoing the line of the. American Friends of the Middle East–an organization dedicated to the advancement of Arab nationalism and the. destruction of Israel–Senator Kennedy urged the United States to betray its major ally France in favor of the FLN terrorists who seek to establish their dictatorship over all of Algeria. Now, Algeria is not a purely Moslem country. It is, in fact. a multi-religious community which has been for the last 100 years a legal part of the French Republic and whose inhabitants are French citizens. The Moslem terrorists who seek to separate Algeria from France do not have the popular. support of their own people. They are a minority faction using terror. extortion and assassination as the means to achieve domination. Until now they have murdered and injured over 30.0000! their fellow Moslem civilians. This has made their cause anything but popular with the inhabitants of Algeria. Yet, this is the· group to which Senator Kennedy urged the United States to lend its support jeopardizing our military alliance with France as well as a close association and friendship which goes back to the days of Washington and Jefferson.
Now. you may ask, what bearing does this have on Israel or American Jews? The answer is this: Should Senator Kennedy’s policy be adopted after his election and should it succeed~ it would mean the expulsion of France from Algeria, the consolidation of Nasser’s Pan-Arab empire in North Africa, the inevitable destruction of French Algerian Jewry, and the enlistment of Algeria in the economic blockade against Israel. It should be noted that the Algerian rebels have taken part in all of the Arab League conferences dealing with Israel and are in full accord with general Arab aim of destroying Israel. Now, in what way would an independent” Algeria hasten the destruction. of Israel. One, it would add Algeria and its vast resources to the strength of the Arab block. Two, it would free Arab energies .to concentrate on the ultimate goal of destroying Israel; three, it would deprive Israel of France~ a military ally. Algerian France would no longer find it necessary to come to the aid of Israel in case of an attack from Nasser. France, it should be remembered, supplied. Israel with the Jets and tanks which made a victory in Sinai possible; four, it would add Algeria to the Arab bloc in the United Nations and enlist her in the general Arab campaign to spread anti-Semitism throughout Africa and the rest .of the world.
These are only the more direct effects which Kennedy’s policy, if successful, would have on the security of Israel. But what would this policy mean in the greater world picture to betray France would not only serve to aggravate and weaken our ally, but also to cause a serious rift in the Western alliance, which is exactly what the communists have been trying to achieve since the formation of NATO. As for anti-Semitism, there is no doubt that it would increase dangerously in France where, for some strange self-destructive reasons, such distinguished Jews as Mendes-France and Servan-Schreiber have openly espoused the cause of the Algerian nationalists, despite the glaring fact that the vast majority of Algerians of all religious communities have in two massive referendums expressed their determination to remain French.
This is just a brief outline of the effects which only one of Senator Kennedy’s future actions might have in the realm of foreign policy. Several indications. however, become very clear in the various remarks and speeches the Senator has made in his first decade for example, he has an almost obsessive hostility toward France, which does not augur well for the Western alliance. This hostility has manifested itself in the many anti-French statements the Senator has made concerning Indochina. Algeria and NATO. In one speech Sen. Kennedy made the amazing remark that the French atomic bomb was aimed at Washington and not Moscow. This would lead one to conclude that the Senator considers France a greater menace then Russia.
Now, what does this mean for Americans, particularly those who area1~o Jews1 Jews should be reminded that France is Israel’s only military friend and should therefore be given as much support as possible by them. Kennedy’s anti-French policy is, indirectly. an anti-Israel policy, for in effect it accomplishes the same thing: it strengthens Arab nationalism and weakens Israel’s defense position. Kennedy’s anti-French policy also weakens the West in general and strengthens the communist hand in Western Europe and North Africa.
It is no secret that the communists have been supporting the Algerian nationalists since the beginning of the rebellion and hope to reap the benefits of an FLN victory. As the reader will notice I have not had to mention Quemoy or Matsu in criticizing Senator Kennedy’s policy of appeasement. The Israelis, on the other hand, have found reason to be wary of the Senator. They see their security position from a world view, and it is quite understandable for them to want to influence their fellow Jews in voting for a President whose policies will have a very direct bearing on their future security. Now, of course, Jews as Americans are free to vote for whomever they please and for whatever reasons they see fit. However, if history has taught the Jews any lesson, it is that they cannot afford the luxury of a homegrown isolationism which, in a national election, shuts off everything from view but local party loyalty. It is clear to anyone who follows international developments that the security of Israel will not be strengthened by a Kennedy victory. In fact, the opposite will be the result.
It is incumbent upon the Jews of America that they be properly informed before they vote on November 8th. I have written this letter because I have felt it a duty to bring these views to the attention of my coreligionists who, through a coalition of deceitful forces, are being prevented from seeing the true facts of the world situation.
