![]() ![]() ![]() PORTERVILLE, CA -- In America's early days, people didn't look to the government for answers. They looked to faith, family, and community. Now? The government is treated like an all-powerful god. Need food? The government will feed you. Need healthcare? The government will provide it. Need housing? The government has a program for that. This shift from self-reliance to state worship wasn't organic. It was manufactured. ![]() PORTERVILLE, CA -- Once upon a time, Americans were tough. They built railroads through mountains, fought wars against tyranny, and settled untamed land with little more than grit and determination. Now? You can't even say "good morning" without someone feeling personally attacked. This sudden national fragility didn't happen by accident. It was engineered. The War on Free Speech Was Always the Goal. ![]() PORTERVILLE, CA -- Once upon a time in America, success was something to admire. People looked at a man who built a business from scratch and thought, "If he can do it, so can I." Now, the reaction is more like, "That guy must be cheating, tax him harder!" This isn't just a shift in attitude - it's a deliberate cultural rewiring. The moment America stopped celebrating success and started resenting it was the moment Marxist ideology sank its claws into the American mindset. ![]() PORTERVILLE, CA -- Somewhere along the way, Americans went from being self-reliant, take-no-nonsense pioneers to people who can't make a decision without checking in with Uncle Sam. It's like the country went to sleep one night as a nation of rugged individualists and woke up in a bureaucratic daycare where the government serves as the overbearing nanny, regulating every aspect of our lives "for our own good." But here's the real kicker: ![]() PORTERVILLE, CA -- Once upon a time-back when hard work built things, personal responsibility meant something, and the government didn't think your paycheck was their personal slush fund - America thrived. Fast forward a century, and we're supposed to believe that modern "progress" - translation: government dependency, bloated bureaucracy, and moral relativism - is somehow better than the nation that led the industrial revolution, built the greatest economy on earth, and won two world wars. Make it make sense. This column isn't about nostalgia. It's about truth. ![]() ![]() ![]() PORTERVILLE, CA -- Dear Editor, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Great American Clown Show, where up is down, men are women, and your God-given rights are being replaced with arbitrarily defined civil rights-all dictated by an unelected mob that couldn't define "woman" if their life depended on it. Now, before some blue-haired activist clutches their pearls and faints into a gender-neutral fainting couch, let's set the record straight: ![]() PORTERVILLE, CA -- Dear Editor, For years, we've been told to sit down, shut up, and keep paying. Pay more in taxes, work longer hours, make do with less, and-above all-don't ask where the money is going. Well, folks, the bill has come due. And surprise, surprise-the checkbook is empty. What you are not changing, you are choosing. The "New Normal" Is a Scam. Somewhere along the way, they convinced us that this is just the way things are now ... ![]() PORTERVILLE, CA -- Dear Editor, Let's be honest - every single one of us has felt it. That soul-crushing frustration when payday comes, and before you even have a chance to breathe, your hard-earned money is gutted by taxes, bills, and rising costs. Many of us are working two jobs or endless overtime, sacrificing time with our families just to keep the lights on - and even then, there's still too much month left at the end of the money. But here's what really burns: While we're struggling, the government is spending our tax dollars like a trust-fund kid with Daddy's credit card. ![]() PORTERVILLE, CA -- Dear Porterville, buckle up - we are living through the Great American Constitutional Revival, a revolutionary renaissance of the people realizing we've been in a constitutional crisis our entire lives. For decades, we were told that government waste and corruption were just "part of the system," but now, the floodlights are on, and what we're seeing is beyond massive - it's outright theft. If you thought the Super Bowl was in New Orleans this year, think again. For more Information - editor@portervillepost.com All Right Reserved ![]()
