The Refugee Resettlement Effort…Did you know you are paying for the situation at the border and in your community?

This is a great podcast from Northern Wisconsin that compiles several videos showing the situation at the southern border and the efforts to distribute the “refugees” throughout the United States.  The first video starts at approximately the 2:15 mark.  It is worth your time.  The videos feature the Epoch Times, O’keefe Media Group, and Congressman Tom Tiffany.  Your tax dollars are paying for this invasion. https://open.substack.com/pub/johnkraft/p/traitors-and-human-trafficking?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

What would our founders think? July 4th column by Gary Mienert

What would our founders think? This is the fourth year I’ve been privileged to write a column for the Lakeland Times for Independence Day.  It is an honor for me to do so.  With celebratory intentions I’ve always attempted to write about our glorious nation and its bright future. Apologizing in advance, this column will not entirely reflect that objective. Our founding fathers provided us with two of the greatest documents ever written: The Declaration of Independence which we celebrate today and the Constitution. Those two magnificent instruments set us apart from every nation in the world, guiding us as we became the model for others to follow. How would our founding fathers judge us today? Thomas Paine’s musings from the distant past offers us a partial answer to that question. He wrote: “A thousand years hence, perhaps less, America may be what Europe is now…the noblest work of human wisdom, the grand scene of human glory, the fair cause of freedom that rose and fell.”  What would possibly cause him to prophesize the fall of the United States? A significant concern was explained succinctly by Thomas Jefferson as he philosophized “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free,…

VOTE TODAY!

Believe it or not, spring election day is upon us. Today April 4th, 2017 has an important WI statewide race for school superintendent between liberal incumbent Tony Evers and challenger Lowell Holtz. Evers supports Common Core while Holtz opposes it. If you support FEDERAL control of education, then Evers is your man. If you support LOCAL control of education (the way it should be), then Holtz is the candidate you should support. It’s a classic case of liberal establishment verses reformer. We know how you should vote. Other races are on the ballot. If you live in a school district that is having a spending referendum, we would simply encourage you to vote “NO”. School Districts, like all of us, need to live within their means and budgets. All too often school districts are bloated at the top with overpaid administrators. The money is not going into the classroom. Carefully examine candidates at the local level. If you are not sure where they stand, find out. Fort Atkinson common council has one candidate who claimed recently that the community is so safe that the police do not need to carry guns! That is what’s out there folks! Be careful!

The Danger of Vouchers

The Dangers of vouchers…Trump’s voucher plan. Below is a link to a 38 minute podcast on vouchers and their danger by KrisAnne Hall, lawyer and Constitutional advocate. There is a full all out push coming and it will be led by DeVos.  If successful it will accomplish putting parents under control of federal gov. This will increase money spent by the feds on education from $540,000,000 to $130 billion ($20B from the feds and $110B from the states) if the Trump plan is implemented.  This will be a mechanism of control of all parents/children under the poverty level if they sign on to new voucher programs. If they take the money, they will have to take the mandates of national curriculum and national methodology.   https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/krisanne-hall/episodes/2016-11-29T07_29_17-08_00 #StopDeVos #Trump #StopCommnonCore #WakeUpAmerica #KellyanneConway #TCOT #CCOT #CommonCore

New American Article On Paul Nehlen, Challenger to Speaker Paul Ryan

Below is an article on Paul Nehlen written by the New American Magazine, a publication of the John Birch Society, that is worth your reading. Standing on Constitution, Businessman Aims to Depose Paul Ryan If you have been paying attention, many in the so-called “conservative” media have come out against Paul Nehlen, trying to take him down.  We have consistently said that the Rock River Patriots do not endorse candidates, but we will call candidates out when they don’t live up to their promises. Isn’t it funny how many of these “conservative” voices, who claim to be independent and non-establishment, are once again acting as lap dogs and doing the bidding of the big government Republicans?  They tout Paul Ryan’s conservative credentials, yet fail to mention he supported TARP, the bank bailouts, the Patriot  Act, and budgets that are anything but fiscally responsible.  Paul Ryan is credited as being this “budget architect” proposing budget plans that “really cut spending” over a 10 – 20 year window.  Paul Ryan is laughing at his naive supporters, knowing full well that future Congresses will not be held to his budget proposals. Just remember…Don’t trust something at face value just because you hear it…
