America’s Funding Fathers

Posted by Scott Rohter on Thursday, January 30, 2020

      America’s “Funding Fathers” By Scott Rohter, January 2020     You have heard of the Founding Fathers.  You probably learned about them in your 8th grade history class, but if you are like most Americans you probably didn’t learn much about them… maybe a little bit about the Boston Tea Party, something […]

Putting America First

Posted by Scott Rohter on Tuesday, December 10, 2019

America has experienced a lot of firsts lately… We have elected our first Black President. We have our first female Speaker of the House. We have chosen the first non-politician in our Nation’s history, the first non-Deep State actor to be our country’s leader, and now we have the first impeachment of a President for non-high crimes and misdemeanors…

Quid Pro Joe’s Quid Pro Quo & The Latest Member of the Deep State to Drop the Ball

Posted by Scott Rohter on Tuesday, December 10, 2019

In China they were called Mandarins… In Russia they were the Boyar Nobles. In England and France they were known as the aristocracy. During the 17th Century the British statesman Sir Edmund Burke said of them that “there is a power behind the throne even greater than the King himself.” Today in America they are almost invisible…

America’s Time of Troubles

Posted by Scott Rohter on Friday, December 6, 2019

There is something going on in America that is very disturbing, yet not many people are talking about it. Most people don’t want to talk about it or they can’t really talk about it because it is such a hard subject to discuss, but I can talk about it and that is exactly what I intend to do, although I do so reluctantly. What I am referring to has been going on right under our noses. At the same time it is going on almost totally under the radar because it is not being reported by any of the mainstream media…

Russia: Friend or Foe ? The Russian Conundrum

Posted by Scott Rohter on Thursday, November 28, 2019

For over a thousand years Russia has looked to the West to Europe for innovation and inspiration, for advances in science and technology. French and Italian architects designed and constructed many of its most famous buildings including its lavish palaces, the residences of the Tsars, as well as its iconic churches, and museums. German and Dutch scientists and engineers explored its vast interior in search of valuable natural resources

All Quid Pro Quos are not the Same

Posted by Scott Rohter on Monday, November 11, 2019

All quid pro quos are not the same. Some seek to accomplish good, while others merely to accommodate evil. That is precisely why quid pro quos should be judged each on its own merits. Some are  well-intentioned  just like the people who make them while others are basically bad like the people who make them. There are about as many different kinds of quid pro quos as there are people and the different reasons that motivate them.  In other words… good people make good quid pro quos, and bad people make bad quid pro qous. It’s that simple.

The Arrogance of Power Part 2 – The End Justifies the Means

Posted by Scott Rohter on Wednesday, July 3, 2019

The stalemate which lasted for nine long days and got the attention of the entire Nation eventually came to an end when a political compromise was arranged between Republicans and Democrats, Eight of the eleven absent Republican members of the Oregon Senate agreed to return to the Capitol giving the Democrats the necessary quorum they needed to pass whatever legislation they wanted… Part of the deal was to table House Bill 2020, the so called Climate Change Bill which would have imposed an ambitious program of carbon trading in Oregon known as Cap and Trade to combat what people on the Left believe is human caused global warming. . In exchange for killing this Cap and Trade Bill Democrats received assurances from Senate Republicans that they would not walk out when HB 2015, the Bill that gives drivers licenses to illegal aliens came up for a vote…

Floyd Prozanski, Scott Rohter, Oregon’s McKenzie Highway and the Truth

Posted by Scott Rohter on Friday, October 26, 2018

There have been over 9,000 accidents, 7,000 injuries and at least 200 deaths on the McKenzie Highway since Floyd Prozanski was elected to the Oregon Legislature in 1991. That is a fact. One of the main reasons I am running for office is to stop the carnage along this road, and to provide motorists with the safety they deserve on any Oregon State Highway, but it is not the ONLY reason I am running for office. Floyd and I disagree on many other issues, but the most important job of any public official is and it should be public safety…

Property Rights Essential if Americans are to Remain Free

Posted by Scott Rohter on Monday, October 22, 2018

Property rights are one of the most important freedoms we enjoy as Americans. Enshrined in the Bill of Rights, the first major piece of legislation that Congress ever passed back in 1789, property rights are just as important today as they were back then. Without respect for private property freedom doesn’t exist. It wouldn’t have any meaning, and the protection of the right to own property is essential if we are to remain free…

Putting the McKenzie Highway on the Map. The Greatest Threat to Public Safety in Lane County

Posted by Scott Rohter on Monday, August 27, 2018

The greatest threat to public safety in Lane County is not an earthquake. It isn’t the aerial spraying of commercial herbicides used in the logging industry. It isn’t the possibility of a terrorist attack. The greatest threat to public safety in Lane County is something that we have never even been told about. It is the danger we face from trucks hauling toxic chemicals, hazardous waste, and radioactive materials up and down the McKenzie Highway every day. It is the very real danger of one of those trucks crashing and winding up in the McKenzie River which is the water supply for 200,000 people.

There have been 103 deaths, 5,014 people injured, and 7,241 traffic accidents on the McKenzie Highway between Springfield and Redmond since Floyd Prozanski was elected to the Oregon Legislature, and he has done absolutely nothing about it. He has done nothing to improve the safety of one of Oregon’s most dangerous roads. The latest person to die is…

Remembering a Great American President and Statesman

Posted by Scott Rohter on Friday, February 23, 2018

A wise man once remarked that a great nation and small minds don’t go well together. That man was Edmund Burke. He was a famous statesman and Member of Parliament during the 18th Century when England was at the height of its worldwide influence and power. Burke lived at a time when it could truly be said that the sun never set on the British Empire, and this observation he made is just as relevant today in our own country as it was back in England during the 18th Century…mal

Watching Oregon go up in Smoke

Posted by Scott Rohter on Tuesday, August 29, 2017

Every year between the months of July and November millions of Oregonians watch helplessly as the United States government just allows the our state to go up in smoke. My grandmother use to have a saying… Too much of anything is not good. Maybe the federal government owns too much land and they take it for granted or maybe they just plain don’t care, but our shortsighted and dysfunctional State legislature and a series of incompetent Democratic governors in Salem refuse to take the necessary steps that could put an end to this annual destruction of our State’s forests once and for all and protect what is left of Oregon’s precious natural resources…

Prisoners of Conscience in a Prison without Conscience – Ammon and Ryan Bundy

They have been in jail for almost a year and a half. Every day for the last month they have spent in solitary confinement, twenty-three hours and forty-five minutes a day, locked up in a small cell, each man by himself at a Federal Correctional Center in Southern Nevada. They are totally innocent victims of a government vendetta. Imprisoned without bail, they have been denied their constitutional rights by a Justice Department that doesn’t honor the Constitution, and a government that holds itself exempt from popular criticism…

Donald Trump’s First Hundred Days… From the Art of the Deal to the Art of the “Shpiel”

The first hundred days of Donald Trump’s Presidency has been a rather mixed bag so far. It is true that he did appoint Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court to replace Justice Scalia who will be sorely missed, and his appointment has been confirmed by the United States Senate in spite of the fact that not a single Democrat voted for him, but that had a lot more to do with Mitch McConnell then it did with Donald Trump…

Judge in Malheur Occupation Trial Finally Rules on Ryan Payne’s Change of Plea Motion…

The old adage, “Better late than never” doesn’t really apply to Ryan Payne… He is one of the few defendants in the Oregon Standoff Trial who pled guilty to charges of preventing Federal officers from doing their job through the use of threats or intimidation. He pled guilty under duress and only in order to receive concurrent sentences in Oregon and Nevada on another federal indictment he will have to stand trial over next month involving the Bunkerville Standoff at the Bundy Ranch in 2014. For Ryan Payne it would have been better if the Judge had never ruled on his motion to withdraw that guilty plea…

Why John McCain is Determined to Destroy the Legacy of America’s 40th President

Posted by Scott Rohter on Tuesday, December 27, 2016

It all goes back to something that President Dwight Eisenhower mentioned in his Farewell Address to the Nation. He warned us about the dangers of the “Military Industrial Complex”. Eisenhower used this phrase to describe the dangers posed by our industrial and manufacturing sectors as a result of the massive military buildup we had just gone through in order to defeat NAZI Germany and Japan during World War II. John McCain is an old cold war veteran whose political views were shaped in an era of confrontation between nuclear superpowers. Everything is black and white to him. He sees everything in terms of good and evil. America is good and Russia is evil. That’s how he sees the world. That’s how he will always see the world…

What kind of a government throws its full weight and power behind a vendetta against one American family in order in order to break them for simply standing up for their rights? Our country does.

A previous trial involved the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Oregon in December of 2015. That trial was about the occupation of the Wildlife Refuge which lasted for 41 days and resulted in one death and at least fourteen persons charged with conspiracy.

That’s because the United States government is following the mandates of the United Nations and it wants all of us to use a lot less water to flush our poop down the drain.

In a surprise move by prosecutors just before the trial began all of the charges against another defendant, Pete Santilli were dropped, but Mr. Santilli will remain in Federal custody until his other trial in Nevada begins later this year on similar charges relating to his involvement in the standoff with the BLM at the Bundy Ranch…

Posted by Scott Rohter on Thursday, August 25, 2016

Ryan Bundy, the eldest son of rancher Cliven Bundy of Nevada was beaten up by Multnomah County Detention Center prison guards for refusing to allow the government to remove a bullet lodged in his upper right arm. Mr. Bundy was one of the passengers in Lavoy Finicum’s truck on the day it was randomly fired upon by FBI agents and Oregon State Police officers. Mr. Bundy’s wrist and thumb were both dislocated in the jailhouse incident, and his head was smashed into a wall. During jury selection he was present in the courtroom and he looked like he had two black eyes according to eyewitnesses…

Fifty Republican “National Security Experts” say that Donald Trump would be the Most Reckless President in U.S. History…

Posted by Scott Rohter on Tuesday, August 9, 2016

If you think that the recent Democrat and Republican Primaries were bad just wait until you see what goes on in the General Election. The Presidential Debates are going to be rigged. There is not a single conservative and not one real Republican on the Presidential Debate Commission which sets the rules for the debates and picks the moderators who will be asking the questions…

Donald Trump Delivers Major Economic Policy Speech in Detroit, Michigan

Posted by Scott Rohter on Monday, August 8, 2016

The room was packed with cheering supporters, but there were also the usual protestors with more free time on their hands than brains in their head. Donald Trump delivered a major speech today on economic policy in Detroit, Michigan, but before he could even open his mouth the pundits in the mainstream media on National Public Radio had already dismissed his economic plan as a total failure…

Facebook Sides with Islamic Extremists for Money

Posted by Scott Rohter on Thursday, August 4, 2016

We have all heard how Islamic extremists are using social media to advance their terrorist activities and obtain new Muslim recruits. It is a well-known fact that the FBI which didn’t recommend an indictment against crooked Hillary Clinton is always looking into the accounts of Facebook users for any signs of radical activity. That is why they obtained a search warrant to look into the Facebook accounts of Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik. They were the two devotees of the “religion of peace “ who committed the massacre in San Bernardino…

A Conspiracy Like No Other

Posted by Scott Rohter on Saturday, July 30, 2016

Webster defines a conspiracy as a secret agreement to perform a wrongful or unlawful act. There are many different kinds of conspiracies, but they all contain two basic elements. They all include an element of secrecy and they all include the intent to do harm. They all begin with a desire to commit evil for some personal gain. No one has ever been indicted for planning a conspiracy to do good. That is no one until Ammon and Ryan Bundy. They are prisoners of conscience in an unconscionable prison…

Putting America First, or Putting Her Own Personal Interests Above those of the Country? The 2016 Presidential Election

Posted by Scott Rohter on Saturday, July 23, 2016

Grassroots Republicans have won a major political victory. We have done what many people thought was impossible. We have succeeded in nominating Donald J. Trump for President of the United States in spite of the fact that he was opposed by every prominent member of the Republican National Committee. Now we are facing an even bigger hurdle than the one we just passed. We have to defeat Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party and the entire Washington political Establishment. Can a complete political outsider who loves his country the way Donald Trump does, actually beat the odds?

Ted Cruz’s Political Ambitions are even Bigger than his Head. That’s why the Nevertrumper Never Learns !

Posted by Scott Rohter on Thursday, July 21, 2016

It was obvious from his speech last night on the floor of the Republican National Convention that Ted Cruz still has political ambitions… very big political ambitions… political ambitions that are much bigger than just being the junior Senator from the State of Texas. In fact, from the speech that he gave last night on the floor of the Convention it is obvious that his political ambitions are even bigger than his head is. We haven’t finished the 2016 Presidential Election and he is already running for President in 2020. He is hoping that Donald Trump will lose the election in 2016 so he can run against Hillary in 2020. Imagine the nerve of this guy…

Ammon and Ryan Bundy Hearing on Motion for Pre-Trial Release / Motion Denied is Justice Denied.

Posted by Scott Rohter on Monday, July 18, 2016

The little court room was packed at the Portland, Oregon Federal Court house to hear the attorneys for Ammon and Ryan Bundy argue their respective motions on why they should be released from pretrial custody. It was the last item on the court’s calendar today which had to do with the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in January of 2016. The Bundys and two other defendants have been locked up now without trial for almost six months. This was the hearing I had come to witness…

Living in an Undeclared State of Martial Law

Posted by Scott Rohter on Monday, July 4, 2016

When you think of martial law you probably think of tanks rolling down the streets or soldiers standing on street corners carrying machine guns. In 1989 we saw both of these things happen when the Chinese government forcibly ended a month long demonstration by university students in Tiananmen Square. The Chinese Communist Party believed those students were a threat to their hold on power. In America our political system is very stable. Until recently there has been no real threat to either of the two major political Parties. The Democrats and the Republicans keep taking turns at the government feeding trough while they lead our country down the road to ruin and the New World Order…

Posted by Scott Rohter on Wednesday, June 29, 2016

A County Court judge who also sits on the Harney County Commission which is a conflict of interest survived a vote to recall him today. The recall vote is a result of his actions and the decisions he made during the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

British Vote to leave the E.U. is Good News for Europeans, but Bad News for the Architects of the New World Order

Posted by Scott Rohter on Sunday, June 26, 2016

The British vote to leave the European Union is good news for Europeans, and it is good news for Americans too. It was not a vote against the European Union as much as it was a vote in favor of retaining British national sovereignty. It was the acknowledgement that the people of the U.K. want to be governed by their own elected leaders rather than by the faceless bureaucrats of the European Union or by the un-elected members of the European Parliament. It proves that the British people do not want to surrender their independence and that people everywhere want more control over their lives, not less control…

Time to End the Occupation of Oregon by the Federal Government

Posted by Scott Rohter on Saturday, April 23, 2016

The controversy over the Federal government’s use and control of land in Oregon didn’t begin with the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge nor will it end with the death of Lavoy Finicum or the arrest of Ammon and Ryan Bundy on federal charges stemming from their month long protest in Harney County. Their peaceful demonstration at the Refuge was intended to call attention to the Federal Government’s unconstitutional occupation of 700 million acres of land in twelve Western States. The dispute over the management of public lands will not be settled at their trials because it won’t even be addressed at their trials. They are merely being tried on criminal charges resulting from their failure to obey police orders to leave the Refuge…

Barack Obama – Getting Away with Murder

Posted by Scott Rohter on Sunday, March 27, 2016

Even before the body of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead in his bed at a remote Texas ranch just fifteen miles from the Mexican border President Obama has been accustomed to getting away with murder. He has been getting away with murder just about every day for the last eight years. So then it doesn’t come as a surprise that neither his Department of Justice nor the FBI conducted a thorough investigation into the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of America’s most conservative Supreme Court Justice…

Unbound and Unprincipled Delegates – Secret GOP Meeting of the Establishment Plans to Dump Trump

Posted by Scott Rohter on Saturday, March 19, 2016

This week Donald Trump warned the RNC about the consequences of ignoring the will of millions of Republican voters. After thirty-two State Primaries and caucuses Mr. Trump is by far and away the clear leader both in terms of actual delegates and in terms of States won. Mr. Trump has won nineteen States while Ted Cruz has only won seven and John Kasich has only won his home State of Ohio…

John Kasich Wins Ohio and Sets out to Stop Donald Trump from Winning the Nomination – The Republican Party I Know

Posted by Scott Rohter on Wednesday, March 16, 2016

In a speech yesterday after his expected victory in Ohio, John Kasich said that he was not going to take the low road to win the highest office in the land…. Oh really? Then what do you call what he is trying to do? He has absolutely no chance of getting enough delegates to win the nomination. He is just trying to prevent Donald Trump from winning the nomination, and just to show you what kind of a lying politician and a big bully that Governor Kasich really is let’s go over the math…

Immigration: Enough is Enough Already !

Posted by Scott Rohter on Monday, March 14, 2016

Forty eight years of progressive policies has nearly destroyed our country. It has bankrupted our Republic and fractured our society. First there were 16 years of Bill Clinton that left us disillusioned. Then there were 16 more years of George Bush which didn’t help any, and finally there are the last 16 years of Barack Obama… which has left us totally discouraged. During this time America has taken in over 50 million new immigrants. Many of them are illegal immigrants. This has led to all of the anger and frustration that we feel…

Police Investigation into Shooting Death of Lavoy Finicum Concludes that the Use of Deadly Force was Justified

Posted by Scott Rohter on Friday, March 11, 2016

Many Americans were outraged at the sight of an innocent man being shot in the back by the police while his hands up in the air. Some of them listened to the eyewitness account of Victoria Sharp and Shawna Cox who were passengers in Lavoy Finicum’s truck at the time he was murdered by police. An internal police investigation into the use of deadly force against Mr. Finicum concluded that the use of deadly force was justified…

Joint State-Federal Plan to Remove Four Dams on Klamath River Approved… The War on America’s Ranchers and Farmers Continues.

Posted by Scott Rohter on Monday, February 8, 2016

Not only is the Federal Government waging a procrastinated war on America’s ranchers. Dwight and Steven Hammond, Cliven, Carol, Ammon, and Ryan Bundy, and Jeanette Finicum can all testify to that. Her late husband Robert LaVoy Finicum was recently shot dead in Oregon for objecting to the government’s unconstitutional land use polices. The Feds are not just waging a war on ranchers. They are also waging a war of attrition against farmers in the West… With the help of the Nation’s first LGBT Governor Kate Brown and the entire Oregon Congressional delegation which consists of five Democrats and one RINO Republican, the final steps have been taken to remove four operating dams on the Klamath River…

FBI Pulls the Trigger on the Demonstration at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Burns, Oregon

Posted by Scott Rohter on Wednesday, January 27, 2016

Not far from Custer’s last stand in a remote part of southeastern Oregon there is a small wooden cross lovingly placed in the snow along Highway 395 not too far from the little town of Burns. It commemorates Finicum’s last stand. It is a rather crude wooden cross that was hastily erected to mark the place where Robert LaVoy Finicum died defending the Constitution he believed in. He was murdered by Oregon State Police officers and FBI agents after…

The Burning Question of Federal Land Use Policies and Land Ownership in the Western United States

Posted by Scott Rohter on Sunday, January 17, 2016

All the bounty of God’s blessings and all riches and wealth comes from the land, and about half of the land in the western United States is owned by the Federal Government. To be exact forty-nine percent of the land in twelve western States including Alaska, but not counting Hawaii is owned by the United States Government. The actual percentage of land owned by the Feds varies in each State from a high of about 94% in Nevada…
