Will America Vote For or Against the Constitution?

In order to get America back on its feet we need to create jobs for the American people and do it fast. We are in an energy and economic crisis. We must become energy independent if we are to survive as a Nation. Right now the Saudi King and his OPEC followers are running our economy with an overwhelming influence on the price of oil.

When North Dakota started hydro-fracking and pumping oil, we increased domestic output to over a million barrels a day – and we did it in less than 2 years. OPEC panicked and started dropping the price of oil about a year ago – for no other reason than to shut down our fracking operations in North Dakota.

Then oil production in North Dakota’s Bakken shut down, because prices couldn’t sustain production costs. The average pay to all North Dakotans was over $60,000 p/annum just over a year ago – and unemployment was near zero. Not anymore.

The cost of oil being down is a good thing, but how and why it got there is not. Saudi Arabia should not be exercising that kind of control over our economy.

President Barack Obama is a puppet of the Saudi King. A President of the United States of America shouldn’t bow to anybody. He shouldn’t hide his identity; he shouldn’t hide his scholarship records; he shouldn’t hide who paid for his expensive post college tour to Muslim Nations.

A real President doesn’t hide his passport from the American people and he doesn’t alter his Selective Service records. He doesn’t produce a “Birth Certificate” after looking for it for 4 years only to learn that it is forensically suspect.

When Obama directed the EPA to shut down 40% of our power plants because they are coal fired, I wrote several articles warning of Obama’s use of the Environmental Protection Agency as a unilateral legislative branch. That’s unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has said as much.

If a President Donald Trump were to request that all 50 States take part in an energy-to -prosperity program by building a single new power plant in each state – powered by what each state feels is in it’s best interest – we would see America moving in the right direction. We’ll revive steel plants and cement factories – and could do so with American materials and American citizens.

On Tuesday, March 15th Hillary Clinton echoed Obama’s words in 2008: “I will close all coal mines and coal possessing operations.” Clinton admits that she plans to follow in the Obama Administration’s footsteps.

This election isn’t a question of Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. It’s a question of whether you support the American Constitution – a brilliant triumph of human governance unparalleled in the annals of global history – or not. I, for one, will be voting for our Constitution – and in doing so, will be voting to save American itself.

Craig Bucki Stands Out in Race for Supreme Court, Has All the Tools to Be Strong Judge

By tony Farina · September 16, 2026

By Tony Farina I’ve covered many court proceedings and trials in my more than 35 years as a newspaper and television reporter and I want to make the point at the beginning of this story that whether elected or appointed, some judges are fair and honest and many others fall short of the mark. In other words, the word jurist does not convey skill and knowledge of the law; it is just a role that some serve with distinction, and others do not. By definition, a jurist is a person who has expert or thorough knowledge of the law but

Is Niagara Falls Crisis Self-Inflicted? Lots of Questions, Few Answers

By tony Farina · September 15, 2026

By Tony Farina There are certainly many questions swirling around the mayor’s declaration of a state of emergency in Niagara Falls over trash, blight, and deteriorating streets that was declared back on July 20 and has been extended several times since because, according to Mayor Robert Restaino, the City Council refused to approve contractor agreements. But some observers point to depleted staff at City Hall, like in Public Works and Code Enforcement and other departments, as really self-inflicted wounds that are the underlying reasons work is not getting done in the city. Or is there even more to the story,

The  Data Center That Answers Hochul’s Objections There was a time when Niagara Falls did not ask Albany whether it was permitted to prosper. The river was here. That was enough. The town had something Albany couldn’t give it. It used what was here. Water. Power. Work. Jobs. Industry. A future. In 1895, the Adams plant took the river and put it into wire. The current went to Buffalo. It changed the industrial world. Tesla supplied the designs. Westinghouse built the machines. Niagara supplied the falling water. Then industries came. Electrochemical. Electrometallurgical. They came because Niagara offered abundant, inexpensive electricity.

Niagara Falls Has Millions of Tourists But Needs to Find a Way to Capture That Wealth

By tony Farina · September 8, 2026

By Tony Farina The City of Niagara Falls, N.Y., boasts one of the world’s greatest natural wonders that people from around the world come to see, but despite incredible tourism numbers of more than nine million visitors a year, the city of now less than 50,000 people is still pretty darn poor. Niagara Falls does not have a tourism problem; it has a tourism-capture problem, and the distinction should be a starting point for a serious new discussion about the city’s future. And ladies and gentlemen, that discussion needs to start now. The question is no longer whether Niagara Falls
