    Randy Olson|May 23, 2024

    On Thursday, May 23, President Donald Trump held a rally in the deep-blue Bronx neighborhood of New York City. Leading up to that, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the feckless, deranged Congresswoman who represents the eastern portion of the Bronx, criticized the rally with the belief that residents would not appreciate it. In fact, residents did appreciate it and turned out in droves. Law enforcement sources reported to the media that they estimated a turnout of 8,000 to 10,000 people that day....

  • NASCAR is a wonderful part of American culture (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 23, 2024

    I love the institution that is NASCAR in the United States of America. The attached video here spells out part of the "why" and features President Donald Trump receiving thunderous applause in his welcome to NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 race on Sunday, May 26. The liberal media is melting down as I type this! The liberal media's liberal tears bring joy to my heart. President Trump is only the fourth sitting or former U.S. president to be a marshal at the Daytona International Speedway. The 2024...

  • 'It's Afraid, It's Afraid'! (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 16, 2024

    The attached video, which is marvelous, perfectly encapsulates the United States' 2024 presidential election. One could not sum it up any better! The video brilliantly utilizes the modern art that is a meme and uses it to deliver political information. The best part, in my opinion, was one of the early clips in the video that shows George Soros holding up Joe Biden as he "fake boxes" President Trump. Remember: it is George Soros who is funding anti-Israel violence taking place at college...

  • New York City has become a cesspool of crime (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 16, 2024

    This absolutely stunning attached video outlines how New York City has become a total cesspool of crime under the pathetic leadership of Mayor Eric Adams and District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The crimes that are taking place are shocking to any decent, civilized person. It is insane what is happening. Across America, too many citizens have their heads in the sand as out-of-control crime is ignored or excused. Soft on crime Democrats are destroying this nation. Does anyone have the courage to stop...

  • Prediction: President Trump will be acquitted (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 16, 2024

    Legal analysts across the United States, especially those on left-leaning cable news outlets like CNN and MSNBC, are announcing in a near full-throat roar this week that the hush money case against President Donald Trump has imploded with breakneck speed. In the attached video, Viva Frei of Florida gives his views on how the case has unfolded across the past two weeks. He is an individual who I have watched closely for the past three years. In 2021 and 2022, he gave countless reports of the...

  • When you go WOKE and DESTROY a 114-year old business (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 16, 2024

    This was stunning and breathtaking on one hand, but on the other hand, the outcome was not surprising. What was that line said by a famous politician in recent years? "Go woke, go broke!" This is a classic example of that. It's sad, too, because Dixie Brewing had a long, successful and storied history in New Orleans. Woke fools drove the business into the ground after re-branding the company and scrapping its former name. Massive layoffs took place last fall as the company spiraled out of...

  • Joe Rogan was correct: Ivermectin works (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 9, 2024

    In what is considered a bombshell in some circles, former CNN news anchor Chris Cuomo announced in a recent podcast that he has been prescribed ivermectin as one tool to use while fighting his COVID vaccine injury. In his announcement, he states that CNN's coverage of the COVID pandemic was flawed, especially its repeated untrue claims about ivermectin. Disgraced former CNN anchor Don Lemon was one of the worst offenders in this regard. Cuomo also stated that during the pandemic, his doctor was...

  • Some college kids are the...(VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 9, 2024

    Some college kids in America are the dumbest people on earth. This, I feel, is a very accurate statement after reading about a short-lived "hunger" strike or some version of that at Princeton University. The attached video spells out how it all went down across the past week. Repeat after me: some of the dumbest people on earth!!...

  • CNN: completely fake news (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 9, 2024

    Although MSNBC often gives it a run for its money, CNN is regularly chocked full of completely fake news. The way they lie and lie and lie is breathtaking. They would not know reality if it came up and hit them in the face! See more in the attached video, which lasts about 3 minutes....

  • Not rocket science: unlawful protesting will get you expelled from college in Florida

    Randy Olson|May 2, 2024

    This should not be difficult to understand, especially for a young man or woman who was supposedly smart enough to be accepted into an institute of higher education, AKA, an American college. The attached video features Florida's governor explaining this in very simple terms....

  • Vomit alert! (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|May 2, 2024

    This video is more or less a public courtesy video to remind the public that sick, twisted people (many of whom are in powerful roles in governments) want you to stop eating meat and start eating...not meat! They detest the idea of a traditional beef hamburger. Instead, they want you to eat lab-grown material or ground-up insects. Gross! Keep this in mind whenever you vote: are you supporting politicians who hate farming and agriculture as we know it?...

  • East Norway Lake Lutheran meatball dinner concludes spring church dinner season

    Randy Olson|Apr 25, 2024

    East Norway Lake Lutheran church's spring meatball dinner was an overwhelming success on Sunday, April 21. In a span of just two hours, close to 300 were served a hearty meal with their specialty meatballs (made by McKale's Catering with use of ENL's special directions), mashed potatoes and all the typical additional food including a massive variety of dessert options.
