The End of Hollywood: Why the movie industry is dying

When I say that Hollywood is done my point of reference is from a business perspective and as a person who spent twenty years writing and pitching screenplays, attending film festivals, and sometimes working as a stunt coach.  Films were something I was very interested in—and still am, but the business of Hollywood motion pictures was something I used to spend a lot of time thinking about so I know it quite well.  Well enough to say that the time has finally come—Hollywood’s studio system movies are coming to an end and its right on time to what I said would happen over five years ago.  Hollywood’s current filmmakers do not represent most of America and like the national media companies, are much more interested in being a liberal propaganda machine.  Now that the costs of making a movie have intersected the declining box office receipts—such as in the case of Ghost in the Shell—the latest embarrassment with Scarlett Johansson—it’s just a matter of time now before the entire industry folds.

I suspect that Disney will always do something with film, as will Warner Bros. and a few other companies, but they will have to drastically change their habits.  After I watched the Blue Rey interviews for Rogue One—which I couldn’t wait to watch, it became very obvious—the filmmakers who are in the story group now replacing George Lucas have no idea why Star Wars movies work.  They only know to follow the basic formula that he created and that means they can get some semblance of a Star Wars movie—which is better than nothing, but not the whole experience.  I thought Rogue One was a fabulous movie, but it was missing the pop of a George Lucas production.  The San Francisco hippies who now work at Lucasfilm cited during the Rogue One interviews the fact that George Lucas had originally written that the “Force” was called “The Force of Others,” meaning mass collectivism and that kind of 60s communist philosophy.  Under tremendous pressure from Twentieth Century Fox Lucas had to whittle down his script and movie down to the bare necessities so he ended up following more of a Walt Disney approach to the themes of the movie which led to a great story rooted in Joseph Campbell myth interpretation.

But the “hero’s journey” is not a collective one.  Red State Americans do not think in collective terms and they cannot be made to.  We aren’t all better “together” and teams are not the supreme law of the land.  When North Carolina recently won the NCAA championship game over Gonzaga it wasn’t a “team effort” but actually the five to six guys who spent most of the time shooting the ball and the few individuals who shot clutch shots at just the right moment.  All the bench warmers sitting on the sidelines didn’t contribute equally—yet as members of the collective team they all celebrated as a single unit.  The cinematic story in telling such a movie would have been in the individuals—not the collective whole otherwise the mythic theme gets lost in the circumstances.  Luckily for the Rogue One people they killed everyone at the end so that washed out the ineffectiveness of the lack of individual performances.  By that I mean the mass collective sacrifice that all the members of Rogue One committed to save the Rebellion.  If the Star Wars story group continue to make those Lucasfilm projects with the progressive values of their San Francisco culture—they’ll see their Star Wars product losing its mythic effectiveness. It’s still a good product, but it’s certainly less effective as a storytelling device than it was under George Lucas’ care.  Just as the current collective decision makers at the Disney Company don’t understand what made Walt Disney work—they copy the formula and sometimes they get lucky.

Recently while I was in England for an extended period of time I noticed that there were a lot of westerns on television.  England was playing a lot of our old 50s era westerns because their society was fascinated by the individualism on display in American cinema.  They had committed themselves already to socialism for most of the 20th century and were looking for ways out of that mess—and American westerns were doing the trick.  They weren’t making much that was originally good as far as cinema in England, so they played old American westerns—and that seems to be a theme around the world.  And the best westerns are not about mass sacrifice for the greater good, but in individuals standing up against the masses in the name of suppressing collective evil—such as a band of cattle rustlers taking over a town and one gunman standing alone to face them down—or some bounty hunter like Clint Eastwood getting individually wealthy by killing all the bad guys and riding off into the sunset.  The best movies find some way to tell an individualized story about love, wealth, or power.  But movies lose their luster when they become instruments of statism.

Let me put it like this, when Wolfram Von Eschenbach wrote his King Arthur stories in the 12th century his subject was the individual casting off the limits of the collective.  The same kind of thing occurred with the Twin War Gods story of Navaho legend.  The society is in trouble and the individual must go out into the world to save everyone with their acts of heroics—alone.  When Hollywood adds all this “team” crap—and this “force of others” idiocy, the product on the screen gets watered down.  American audiences are by their nature individualists.  They don’t accept collectivist messaging in movies. They might endure them if there are cool action sequences or the leading lady takes her top off—but they won’t go out of their way to see the movie.  Now that China has bought up Legendary Pictures they are learning the hard way.  Their movie with Matt Damon about the Great Wall of China bombed in America big time.  And even the latest King Kong movie fell short—which I wanted to like badly.

I knew Kong: Skull Island was in trouble after the scene where the natives on the island were a bunch of utopian hippies who didn’t have any personal property or individualized desires.  They were autonomous robots who had learned to love serving King Kong as sacrificial elements.  As a result the movie only made 150 million in the domestic market but it did very well in communist China taking the film up and over the 500 million mark worldwide.  That paid the bills for the movie, but just barely considering that King Kong has almost 100 years of film history to build from.  It should have made a billion dollars—and could have if the filmmakers made a movie about individuals instead of collective salvation.  Audiences don’t attend movies as a collective.  They might share that experience with others—collectively, but they watch movies as individuals.

I watched with pain studio executives trying to explain why Scarlett Johansson couldn’t make Ghost in the Shell work.  With a production budget of 110 million it only had a domestic take of 26 million dollars.  The studio thought that Johansson did well in the Avenger movies so obviously she’d bring 100 million dollars to Ghost in the Shell?  No.  People don’t go to movies to see stars—you’d think that Hollywood would have learned this by now—they go to see stories about individuals.  At least that’s how it is in America—which then drives the world market.  And if Ghost in the Shell would have been cast by a Japanese woman—it would have done even worse—just for the record.  The content of the film is what hurt it—not that Scarlett Johansson was “white.”

Here’s the bad news, kids growing up today are interested in other things.  Their video games and phone apps are much cooler and individual based storytelling then modern movies and they just aren’t going to be there as adults giving Hollywood money.  The labor unions have driven up the cost of making movies to the point where small budgeted risky projects can’t be made.  For instance, you never see today movies like Days of Thunder or Top Gun being made where a Tom Cruise character who is over-the-top individually confident but loses his nerve after some tragedy, and the whole point of the character is in overcoming his individual fears and returning to the glory of being an arrogant son-of-a-bitch.  But that’s what American audiences want and Hollywood isn’t giving it to them so the movie industry is on life support held up by my generation who still goes to movies out of nostalgia.  The generation after mine will do something else because these movies don’t speak to them as individuals.  And those are the cold hard facts.

Zelda and the New Nintendo Switch: Something new, amazing, and just wonderful in every way

Storytelling is very important to our culture—it’s something that truly distinguishes us from any other living thing in the known universe—and we need it for feeding our minds as much as we need water and food to drive our bodies.  Stories may well be the most important thing to human culture.  Just consider that while Trump was talking to the press about what he thought about Syria gassing its people—he was playing the new Star Wars movie Rogue One in the background.  Trump seems to have a very healthy love of stories—especially movies and I’d go so far to say that it has made him an exceptionally good president—because he’s a thinker.  He may have the articulation skills of a typical Queens taxi driver—but he does think deeply about things from many angles—and stories certainly help develop that skill.

Among the kind of storytelling that we perform in modern times, video games are certainly at the top of the importance list because in a lot of ways they are the new dominate form—replacing books and movies as the cultural go-to method of telling them.  So when I run into a good video game, I typically talk about—and if it’s truly exceptional I’ll write about it. Some recent games that amazed me with their technical and storytelling achievements have been Uncharted 4 for Playstation 4 and Rush Blood for Playstation VR.  Not only are those great games, but they tell stories in completely new and literally uncharted ways that I have been amazed by.

Way back, twenty years ago, in the mid-90s while my two daughters were growing up and learning to read I had bought a Nintendo 64 and the latest Zelda title at the time called Ocarina in Time to play with them.  It was too complicated for them to play but they’d sit with me on the couch and watch me play because the story was so compelling and there was a lot of text to read—so in a lot of ways it helped them learn to read.  There are enough words to read in a Zelda game that essentially makes it a moving graphic novel.  The plots are thick—the philosophy unmistakably Japanese yet there is a little King Arthur in the storylines which makes the Zelda franchise highly sought after in western cultures.  Like Star Wars, there is a very healthy mixture of eastern and western philosophy reflected in the presented mythology which makes it an incredibly powerful storytelling device.  I often have said that I thought Ocarina in Time was the most intelligent video game I have ever played and it holds a special place in the hearts of my family because for about a 100 hours at a key time in my children’s life, we played Zelda each night before they went to bed and they have never forgotten the experience—even to this day.  I wasn’t allowed to play the game without them—so we did the whole thing together with them helping me make decisions that eventually won the game even though they were too little to play it themselves at the time.

Now they are all grown up obviously and Nintendo still has a place in my heart because of Zelda.  I typically buy whatever Nintendo creates out of loyalty to them because of their direct attachment to the Zelda franchise.  I famously tell the story often about the various elections that I’ve been a part of, especially the Lakota school levy events where I had something on the ballot that I was leading the charge for and the media always wants to know what kind of watch party you might be having so they can get reactions later that night from the winners and losers.  Well, my routine was not to rent out a bar to watch the results pouring in with my team nervously around a big screen television—but to play Nintendo Wii.  The game of choice for my wife and I was Wii Golf which allowed me to play as if I were on a real course somewhere, but from the convenience of my living room so I could monitor the results and answer questions from the media in an expeditious manner.  Nintendo has always been very good with driving the video game culture in creative ways to use the tools of game play in new ways—and their Wii system really opened the doors to interactive gaming where you could stand in your living room and interact with the big screen of your television in a virtual environment.

When word came out that Nintendo’s latest masterpiece was something called the Nintendo Switch, and that they had a new Zelda game for it called Breath of the Wild I had to get it.  It was simply an unquestioned reality.  The Switch featured new, unique game play options that were essentially unheard of in previous markets; you could play Nintendo Switch from your television in the traditional way.  But–if you had to catch a flight to a different city for a business trip, you could take the whole thing with you.  Plus, virtually every part of the game system including the controllers could be utilized in some unique aspect of game play making the Nintendo Switch incredibly versatile as a system.  I thought it was an astonishing breakthrough yet again for the good people at Nintendo.  So my wife and I made it a point to hunt one down because as of this writing they are extremely hard to get at the store.  Since their lunch at the start of March 2017 they sell as soon as they hit the shelves at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, and Gamestop.  That’s typical for Nintendo products, as a company they often under produce so they can drive up demand with frustration—which increases their market value so they create positive word of mouth which drives up their price—a good healthy business model. But even for Nintendo, I don’t think they thought they’d have such an intense desire from the public for this new Switch because the sales seemed to be getting away from them.  We tried for a solid month to get a Switch all over Cincinnati and Dayton with no luck.  A few units would show up at a Target or Wal-Mart and we’d head to the store and they’d be sold out before we could get there.  People would watch the inventories of stores online and do like we would-drive in to buy the units the minute they showed up.  Outlets refused to hold anything because the demand was too high.

Just for context the Target in West Chester had a return of a Nintendo Switch—a used one returned to the store for whatever reason.  I had been watching the Target website all week and noticed that one Switch unit was put into stock and literally I was in the car within five minutes to make the ten minute drive to the store.  When I got back there another guy had just bought the unit and the cashier told me that all the units have been sold in this way.  People literally were standing in line as the supply trucks tried to restock the store and you just had to be lucky enough to be at the store when this happened.  Because as soon as the inventory clerks scanned the units into their systems and they showed up online, people were buying up everything within the hour.  I could tell the same story for just about every other store all over Cincinnati—not just Target, but everyone.  I was starting to wonder if I’d ever get my hands on a Switch.

Then it happened, my wife was at Wal-Mart at the Bridgewater location and ten Switches were put in stock just as she was heading there to check—as she was there to shop for other things.  Of that ten nine of them were gone instantly and she got her hands on the last one.  She sent me a text letting me know that our search was over and I rushed home to unbox it and play it for the first time.  And let me just say that playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an extraordinary experience.  I’ve been playing it for a week now and it is just an astonishing video game—it’s deep and very fun to play—and it brings out the best of what Nintendo’s Switch can do.

I have found that I like to play Zelda as the portable unit almost as much as the traditional TV based console.  It is very effective to be able to take the game everywhere with you, airports, the breakfast table, to play while watching the news—it is extremely versatile and well worth all the work it took to get my hands on one.  But the new Zelda is simply astonishing and well worth the money.  I continue to be extremely amazed and now that I’ve incorporated it into my lifestyle, I can see that I’ll get a lot of mileage out of that Nintendo Switch.  It’s one more technical marvel that is carrying mankind forward in ways that many never thought possible.  For me it is encouraging to see so much extraordinary quality on display from the mechanical features of the Switch hardware to the subtleties of programming featured in the Breath of the Wild video game.  The people who made Breath of the Wild are obviously very intelligent and it is refreshing to me to see so many young people calling it the best video game they’ve ever played.  But more than anything, it is great to see so much optimism emerging from a story telling market.  I can’t think of anything negative about it.  For instance, I had a really stressful week where many important decisions had to be made that might have an impact on millions and millions of investment dollars.  So how did I manage all that stress—I took my Nintendo Switch with me everywhere and played it at restaurants and in shopping malls to blow off the steam of anxiety that often comes with doing important things in life.  And you know what—it worked marvelously.  It is so wonderful to take a world like Zelda with you everywhere you go—and to give yourself a break when you really need it.  And for that, Nintendo as a company deserves a lot of admiration.

The Art of a President: Donald Trump’s brilliance is the best gift I could ask for

Donald Trump must have known that it was my birthday because I couldn’t have received a better gift. After all, the world has been poking the fences since his election.

China has been advancing in the South China Sea against Taiwan and Japan.  North Korea is threatening to lunch missiles into America with their constant tests—Russia has continued to buzz American naval vessels in contentious waters.  Iran is sponsoring terrorism everywhere they can, Democrats are fighting everything Trump tries to do in the White House including trying to block the Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.  Supposedly Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner are fighting it out in the Oval Office in front of Donald Trump and we’ve discovered that Susan Rice under Barack Obama’s direction had spied on the Trump transition team—illegally. The CIA, FBI, and all connecting intelligence agencies have been caught in a DEEP STATE scheme that has them all looking horrible and in the face of all that—Trump launched an airstrike against Syria while hosting the Communist Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Winter White House in South Florida.  After the press conference announcing the strike you could almost hear Trump say (nonverbally) “Xi, if you don’t straighten out North Korea—you’re next.  And by the way—I’m going to tax your exports.  Have a nice day.  Would you like some more wine?”  This was the art of the deal at its finest and I can say that this is my most satisfying birthday in my life—because I’ve been waiting to live in a country with this kind of winning record since the beginning.

PALM BEACH, Fla. — North Korea’s nuclear ambitions and the U.S-China trade imbalance as well as other points of tension between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are being overshadowed by the U.S. missile strikes on Syria.

Nonetheless, the two leaders are meeting for a second day at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate as planned Friday. Their first-night summit dinner wrapped up shortly before the U.S. announced the missile barrage on an air base in Syria in retaliation against Syrian President Bashar Assad for a chemical weapons attack against civilians caught up in his country’s long civil war.

  • The US military fired more than 50 tomahawk missiles at al-Shayrat military airfield at 8.45pm EDT Thursday
  • Moves comes just hours after Trump said ‘something should happen’ following Tuesday’s gas-attack atrocity
  • Trump took action after more than 80 were killed and many more were injured in the sarin poison gas attack
  • ‘Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack,’ he said after launching the strike
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a furious response calling airstrike an ‘illegal act of aggression’ 
  • US says airfield was used to store toxic weapons and was the base for the aircraft involved in the sarin attack
  • Claims that nine were killed, and more were injured, in the strike which has severely damaged the airbase 
  • US told Moscow it was launching an airstrike about 30 minutes in advance – but did not ask for permission

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4388834/America-launches-airstrikes-Syria.html

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-xi-meet-again-in-shadow-of-missile-strikes-on-syria/ar-BBzvF6Q?li=BBnbcA1&ocid=iehp

I know Constitutional purists like Rand Paul are upset at the Syrian airstrike—but when America is the only country in the world capable of taking an authority position against bullies—there is an ethical obligation to act when we see poor little children suffering under the failures of politics—and that’s what happened in Syria. It was the right thing to do under any circumstance.  But, if Trump had to pick a target to pull the world in behind him and dispel the rumors of his alliance with the Russians—Syria was it.  Even as Gorsuch was nominated to the Supreme Court even Chuck Schumer was singing praises for Trump’s decisive move.  It was rather astonishing.

Trump has not suddenly become a globalist. He’s not about to become an interventionist.  But he needed to take a shot to set the stage for all the challenges going on around the world—especially with China and North Korea.  And he had to set up the relationship with Russia.  Nobody ever thought Trump was going to eat out of Russia’s hand—as I have been saying for a long time.  It will have to be the other way around—and this was the first step.  Trump had the moral high ground and he took it—and now the world is wondering how they didn’t see it all along.

This is how it is different having a real executive in the White House as opposed to a typical politician always sticking their hand out looking for campaign donations. Trump doesn’t care if Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner want to kill each other.  He’s more interested in the result of their conflict—he needs different points of view to flush out a truth.  That’s what good leaders do, they don’t necessarily want everyone to get along.  They want a competition of ideas and through conflict truth justice and reality are defined.  So the Trump White House thrives in conflict.  It doesn’t want everyone sitting around a campfire singing songs and giving each other reach-arounds.  It wants action, and when it comes time to make hard decisions, Trump can make them because he can see the truth through the combat of opinion.  He has a wife for the softer times in his life.  But at all other times, he loves the battlefield of conflict because that’s where life thrives and honesty, bravery, and valor emerge.

I’ve been waiting for this all of my life.  The closest I’ve seen to this kind of American decisiveness was when Ronald Reagan sent an airstrike against Libya—and I remember the effect that had on the world. Trump has had his moment and now he can negotiate with everyone from a position of strength.  It had to come sometime and now that he has done it there are many more opportunities for peace than there was before the attack.  Without this bombing the chances for violence by North Korea against South Korea is much greater.  The threat of China moving against Japan has much larger odds.  And Russia would continue to buzz American ships without wondering when or if Trump would react.  Now he has and even considering more aggression against America might provoke war.  So Trump has captured the high ground against every single one of his global rivals including his political ones with one swift stroke.  And it was just a brilliant time and place to do so.

I’m sure this won’t be the last time and I’m also sure that all this new power won’t go to Trump’s head.  Why—because he is used to being at the top of everything he does and he’s battle hardened to the perils of success.  Out of all the people in the world who could do this very difficult job as a modern American president with all the factions that are ankle biting out there, only Trump presently is qualified to perform the tasks.  This is precisely why I voted for Trump and I am very proud to see him doing such a very excellent job.  I feel very sorry for the kids involved in all the evils around the world who are suffering under bad people.  And this bombing in Syria won’t save them all.  But many more will be safe because of it—and like all good things in life—there are many more positives than negatives with the action.   For us in America—it’s good to see a president who finally knows how to juggle all these bananas—because it’s long overdue.

Rush Limbaugh Says We’re In A Civil War: He’s right, and what we need to do about it

I listen to Rush Limbaugh when I can, but not as often as I’d like. If I miss the show I try to catch the podcasts in my shop where I practice target shooting and doing gun repairs—which is soothing.  A long time ago when I worked at the “Mill” (Cincinnati Milacron in Oakley) Rush Limbaugh was on every day in every building on the shop floor.  You couldn’t go to the restroom without hearing Rush from 12 to 3 PM during the Clinton Years—so I have a point of reference to go on here.  But during yesterday’s broadcast Rush said something that I didn’t think he’d ever say.  I had said it about five years ago, but Rush finally said it and he was right.  Rush in my mind is mainstream.  Even though the radical loons from the left think Rush represents the “hard right” Limbaugh is in fact a moderate in my mind so for him to say that America was in another “civil war” was quite a statement.  Listen to the broadcast above specifically the second hour.  I consider that admission to be a turning point in this long war—because before you can fix something, you have to identify it.  Admitting that America is split into a civil war condition is the first step in solving the current national problem.  However, the next is in determining who wins—because obviously both sides are too far apart to ever come to agreements.   The philosophic positions are just too great and the political left isn’t interested—as they have demonstrated during the opening days of the Trump administration—at living peacefully together.

Rush asked a very hard question—how do you know who wins a civil war? Well, it comes down to one side recognizing the authority of the other and presently the political left is unwilling to do that—as Republicans have been so gracious in the past.  So there is no shame in pushing Democrats out of the political process because we gave them the table under the Obama presidency and they showed us what they were made of.  They abused their power and that caused Trump to be elected—to correct all those mistakes.  But Republicans can at least say they played by the rules.  Democrats have no such intention—and Limbaugh did a good job of pointing out the case as it stands.

That means that we have to not only beat Democrats in elections, but we have to beat them at their fundamental philosophy. To win this war we cannot have a “live and let live” attitude toward them in movies, music, and culture—we must challenge them at every phase of life and we must have a focus on “winning.”  Not just compromising, but beating those idiots into a pulp to the point where they must capitulate—or be utterly destroyed.  There is no reasoning with those people on the political left so we must beat them into submission intellectually until they either adopt our positions, or they are put to an end.  It’s as simple as that.

I’m not saying that we must impose physical violence on the political left, but when they start the fight, we must finish it. Otherwise, intellect is the weapon of today.  They cannot fight smart people, so it must be the smartest of the conservative base who must be the knights on this battlefield because it’s not cannons and arrows that will win—its superior strategic positioning and philosophic concept.  “The pen is truly mightier than the sword” as I’ve demonstrated repeatedly.  But that is only one weapon of war.  The use of the Second Amendment is one of the most powerful aspects of our position—because not even Hollywood can use the guilt game against conservatives—because without the gun, Hollywood would go bankrupt, which ironically is already happening.  Guns aren’t just for shooting, they are symbols of self-reliance and the political left hates that concept.  So just having a gun does a lot to undo the political left.  Using a gun as part of your recreational life does a lot more.  So one of the best ways to destroy the political left is to destroy their soft, snowflake sensibilities with “in your face” audacity.  They have certainly used that tactic on the abortion issue and many other leftist topics. Now is the time to turn that tide against them with conservative vantage points for a change—and the gun is the most effective weapon in that battle—not for shooting and killing—but for the self-reliance that they represent.

The political left does not represent America. They represent the stagnate old remains of Europe.  Recently while I was in Europe I saw clearly why progressives in America love Europe’s centralized control so much.  You could see it everywhere—Europeans are heavily encumbered by ridiculous rules intent to govern every part of their lives.  For instance, if you go to Burger King in London and you get a large drink with your meal—it’s like the size of a kids drink in America—because in England—and the rest of Europe there are many rules on serving sizes and ingredients designed to take the strain off their socialist health care systems.   Everything is small and served in reduced amounts—as opposed to America.  No wonder Michael Bloomberg thought he could limited the size of soft drinks in New York with similar rules that they have in the United Kingdom.  From his point of view Europe was already doing it and it really is all progressives want to do—is control other people’s lives.

From my little shop at my house I could make endless amounts of ammunition and maintain many firearms without the outside world having anything to do with any of it. I don’t need a store or a gun manufacturer to make guns.  A simple machine shop can make everything needed—and that is nice to know.  As I work out there I think about the political left and their stupidity in thinking that they can destroy the firearms market by taxing ammunition and putting tight restrictions on firearms manufacturers hoping to put them out of business—because that’s their intention.  That mentality doesn’t come from Americans it comes from European sympathizers who happen to have moved to America and been trained to think in a progressive fashion.  The best way to challenge them is to put it in their face and make them realize that there is nothing they can do to stop firearms in America—because the need for them arises from a philosophy that is specific to our culture.  It is not part of European culture, or even eastern culture—it is specific to America.

Just keep in mind that to win this war that you must do something. Letting the other side off the hook with silence won’t win the day. You must engage them with a shameless position toward your American philosophy and let them perish under its light like the devil might melt under Holy Water.  Whatever you do, don’t hide anymore.  Don’t give them the illusion that they are the only ones brave enough to be on the battlefield.  Join them there and outshine them.  Force them to retreat to their little liberal campus groups and pull out their hair in frustration.  Because Republicans—“conservatives” must now focus on winning this war.  It’s not enough to have Trump in the White House.  Now is the time to run liberals off the field of battle and force them into hiding for a change—and to bend to our will if we hope to save humanity.  That’s what’s at stake and what must be done.

Being Fearless: What the Democrats are truly terrified of–people who don’t need them


I’ve already provided all the reasons that the Democrats are losing ground and how they are making themselves into an extinct political party. I have also covered how the Trump administration is innocent as to charges of collusion with Russia and how it is actually the Democrats who are guilty of that action as they were the party that was in power and had the relationships with Russia.  But at this point all of that is irrelevant because something much deeper is going on for which everyone is missing.  The great desperation of the Democratic Party that they are revealing presently—that last gasp of the dying donkey as I’ve described it, is the realization that their methods of incursion have forever been vanquished and as I look back on it—I’m very proud of the role I played in it.

I was a very “rambunctious” little boy in grade school. Don’t ask me how or where I got it from but I had a rebellious streak that was extremely mature, even at a very young age.  I’ve told some of these stories before, but I’ll put them together for context—in kindergarten I went toe to toe with my teacher in a way that was sometimes excessive.  I hated her and she set a pace for my entire public school experience—right out of the gate.  She threatened my mom to fail me from kindergarten after just a few months of attending Liberty Elementary School on Princeton Road way back in 1973 and all that started because I dressed up a bear for a class assignment in jeans when the pants were supposed to be corduroys.  She literally went insane over the issue and was institutionalized shortly after I moved on through her class.  In first grade I poked the class bully in the eye with my scissors because he threatened me.  He was a lot bigger than me and much stronger—so I did whatever I had to do to win that fight.  It was in class in front of everyone, including the teacher.  For the next four years I was constantly in trouble and getting “swats” from the principal’s office—but my behavior and love for fighting never changed.  In fourth grade a pack of kids tried to shove the drug “speed” down my mouth on the school bus and I spit it out of the window causing a massive fight on the bus.  I have always had a policy of no drugs in my life which holds to this day.  There were many fights after that as I had a reputation with the druggies and they wanted to conform me.  At this point I was good with the jocks because I was the fastest kid in school and I won the pull-up category in the winter Olympics in my fifth-grade year.  But in sixth grade I had many more problems with several more teachers and was in constant fights with 7th and 8th graders. One eighth grade kid who was a lot bigger than me by almost half jumped me at my locker and I literally shoved the kid through the principal’s office door and the fight ended up in his office.  Since the kid was again bigger than me and a lot stronger I had to find some leverage point, so I took the fight into the principal’s office literally with blood everywhere which was really the only way to win that one.  I gained a reputation for being crazy which suited me just fine.  My nickname back then was “Animal” from the Muppet’s character—because that’s how my peers saw me.  In high school is where I started to pull out ahead of my classmates in every category.  No longer were kids bigger and meaner than me and I had learned martial arts so I could block anything anybody threw.  I started winning everything I did and some people on the other side ended up dying through these actions and I went into my senior year pretty much invincible.  Nobody at Lakota challenged me to anything so the fights went over into other school systems at drive-ins, arcades, and just about anywhere I went.  My reputation was such that I was hired several times as a body-guard and a bouncer in places where I wasn’t even old enough to attend.  I was employed by the Chinese mob from Chicago and my next job after that was at a car dealership where I sometimes did repo work for the bank—and they sent me to all the ugly jobs—because I was the only one crazy enough to do them.  Luckily, I met my wife about this time and she gave me a reason to evolve into a different direction.  Most of the people I know from that time are dead or are in jail—so meeting my wife was a very positive experience for me.  Anyway, the sum of that little story is that I was never afraid of anything—and I’d fight anybody anywhere on any terms—and I’m still like that. Schools are places where they pound you into conformity.  The places were never about learning—they were about learning your place in society and I was one of those rare people who came out of it unbroken. If you add to all these experiences my expert use of bullwhips and a love of guns I really don’t worry about any threats to my person, or my loved ones.  I have a long history of keeping the bad guys at bay and looking back on it I’m a little shocked that I managed through it all from my earliest years completely pure as to my resistance to bullies.  I never liked them or bent over backwards to yield to them no matter where they were in our society—adults, mean kids, druggies—thugs, killers, dead beats—anybody.  And at almost 50 years old, I’m pretty proud of that—and I’m certainly not going to change now.

So when it has come time to make a stand for something I’ve always done it and in politics I knew what I was doing. Like for instance with the teacher’s union at Lakota when I put myself on the front pages of the Cincinnati newspapers over that issue way back in 2010.  My dad was very concerned when I went on WLW radio and called out the teacher’s union at Lakota for driving up the costs of running the school forcing property tax increases.  Like I told him—“what are they going to do to me?”  He knew what I was talking about but he thought I went overboard—because he had trouble with unions in the past even over unimportant things.  Unions like most liberal concepts always use the threat of force to sell their “altruistic” ideas.  My strategy on the Lakota issue from the very beginning was to take that threat away from my opposition—like I do in most things.  I mean I’m not a maniac who runs around threatening people all the time.  Generally, I’m pretty nice and can use many forms of communication to convey a thought.  I don’t have to threaten to kill people all the time to get my point across.  But I do have a reputation, and that gets around when people start checking you out.  And I knew that the union wouldn’t be able to do anything to me that I couldn’t easily swat away—so I got involved and my presence changed things.

I only tell that story because it takes a certain kind of person to break through the ice of fear that usually governors people in their daily lives because unfortunately they learn in their public schools to keep their mouths shut and not to stand for much of anything. You are taught what to think and when to think it and the peer groups form to be the enforcers—and those categories usually last a lifetime.   I’d say that Donald Trump likely could tell a similar story as I just did.  I’m not saying I should get an Eagle Scout award or be put on a pedestal of Christian orthodoxy—but if you want someone who will stand up to bullies solving problems, then a background like mine is probably the kind of person you want for the job.  As I did things I wrote down the why and how and other people started utilizing the same strategies.  Other people started sticking up for themselves and the liberal advocates out there were seeing for the first time that their Rules for Radicals book wasn’t working anymore on conservatives.  Really, for the first time since Al Capon’s mobsters in Chicago, Democrats were being challenged in ways they weren’t used to and panic began to set in.  All this opened the door to Donald Trump’s run for president in 2016.  I may have started the snowball rolling along with other people.  The net gains from the conservative movement that was no longer afraid that union leaders would show up to their houses and string up their family in the dead of night was beginning to embolden politicians to throw John Boehner out of the Speakership and to put a wide field of Republicans into the race for the White House starting in 2015.  Since conservatives were no longer afraid of the Democratic bully, they put their support behind Donald Trump as a way to finally strike back.

And that’s where we are. As people observed some of us early pioneers challenging the establishment and standing up to the threat of physical violence—it emboldened more people to fight back as well.  At Lakota when the union tried to impose fear against me—the results were not favorable.  It was laughable really.  Nobody is going to attack me to my face and get away with it.  And once people saw that on a mass level, more people realized that they too could fight back—and that the liberals weren’t so scary. Now, today, Trump is in the White House and he doesn’t put up with anything and Democrats literally don’t know what to do because their only playbook is the Rules from Radicals approach by Saul Alinsky.   The way to beat liberals is to take away their threat to violence.  Once you do that, they are lost.

I don’t go out of my way to be tough. I don’t work out obsessively or watch my diet to the point where I need to maintain a certain image.  I just do my thing and enjoy my life and I seldom think about fighting other people.  However, I internally know how to deal with anything that someone imposes on me and I have a long history of not taking any crap—and I’ve had it all my life.  I never remember a time when I didn’t behave this way so the best I know is that I was born this way.  That made me into an adult who was completely free of ever yielding to another human being under any condition.  I can honestly say that I’ve never been coerced to do something against my will at any point in my life and I’m sure Donald Trump is the same kind of person.  And now that those kinds of people are now involved in politics, it completely defangs the Democrats because they have nothing else in their arsenal but the use of fear to recruit members to their political philosophy.  When they don’t have the tool of fear, they are lost.  And that is what they really fear now that Trump is taking the White House—and America, to places they can’t follow.  That is the air behind their screams as their party dies, and to me, it is music to my ears.

Being free is not something any government can give you dear reader. You can only give it to yourself.  There is no law that can make you safe.   Only you can learn how to be essentially invincible protecting yourself from the intentions of others.  If you are the smartest person in the room, nobody can beat you.  You don’t have to be the biggest, the smartest by IQ, or even the best—you just have to have the skills to keep anybody else from getting at you—strategically.  And once you master that you can promise yourself success 100% of the time.  You can’t promise that you can win over others 100% of the time, but you can keep them from beating you 100% of the time.  For a liberal to be successful they must get at you and if you deny them of that—they are utterly powerless, which is exactly where the Democrats find themselves in 2017.  The best way to make yourself free is to make it so that in your life nobody can attack you—and once you’ve done that you can begin to taste a life without fear—and adversely, a life without Democrats.  With Trump, his polling numbers won’t drop below 35% and when all this first started—say back in 2010—it was much lower as to those who were willing to stand tall and live fearlessly in the voting booth.  And four years from now that 35% will be even higher and that is the indication which is terrifying those who live off the fear of good people everywhere.

The Crimes of Susan Rice: How to prosecute the people who are supposed to enforce the law when they are guilty

The way that the Obama White House worked, “legal” meant anything that could be manipulated between the Executive Branch and the Department of Justice—both of which he controlled.   There has been much evidence to the obvious coercive tactics used by the Obama administration to pull America further to the political left and the wake of that effort has caused the present civil war in the United States where half the nation refuses to join the other half that is now openly socialist leaning. Those legal lines were manipulated during Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal in targeting conservative groups for their 5013C status, the way in which Obamacare was created and implemented, and worst of all—the Hillary Clinton deleted emails which were obviously designed to destroy evidence so that they could never get caught—which of course they were caught—destroying evidence. The evidence itself didn’t reveal the crime, but the destruction of evidence did reveal the Obama administration’s motivations.

And with the dependability of a German clock they did it again—under the guidance of Susan Rice the Obama administration spied on Donald Trump using the power of government to attempt to secure the fate of their political party. But who could blame them—after all, Wikileaks had just made them look like the fools that they were and they knew they needed some dirt from the other side to recover—which they never found. So now they went out and committed a crime to get information that turned out to be nothing. Their plan would have worked if they had found something—but instead all they really found was that General Flynn spoke to a Russian ambassador and neglected to inform Vice President Pence about it—which in the scheme of things is a small technicality. But the crime of the cover-up and the abuses of power are immense and might surprise people, except for readers who frequent here.

Former President Barack Obama’s national security adviser Susan Rice ordered U.S. spy agencies to produce “detailed spreadsheets” of legal phone calls involving Donald Trump and his aides when he was running for president, according to former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova.

“What was produced by the intelligence community at the request of Ms. Rice were detailed spreadsheets of intercepted phone calls with unmasked Trump associates in perfectly legal conversations with individuals,” diGenova told The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group Monday.

The word “legal” when it’s used by thieves like this is dangerous—because what it implies is that nobody did anything wrong. Make no mistake about it—what Susan Rice did obviously under the guidance of the president of the United States was unethical and it could only be made legal by the means that Hillary Clinton destroyed evidence with her email server—by denying prosecutable evidence the way any lawyer might defend a client.  Their client might be guilty as hell—but if there isn’t DNA or something that links a murderer to a crime, then they can’t be convicted. That is the grand danger of allowing people who worked in the legal profession to also work in such a powerful position as can be found in the Executive Branch of our government.

Based on the Clinton years and now the Obama years we may want to rethink ever doing such a thing again—because they actually used the law as a weapon to cover their crimes—which is never good.  And that is what they have done to Donald Trump.  They created a “legitimate” cover story—such as spying on Russian connections—which is why the political left is pushing that story so aggressively—because they were caught doing it.  Obama could justify the order because of comments Trump made tongue in cheek about Russians finding Hillary’s deleted emails.  But the real target of the spying wasn’t spies to Russia—it was Trump’s political strategies so that they might be able to counter them and win the election.

Thankfully Trump was smarter than they were and most of his campaign strategies were done on the fly literally from his Trump airplane where he spent most of his time in the last three months of the presidential campaign. He came home every night and the employees of the campaign chattered the way that employees do, which is what the Obama people were listening to—but Trump had his team on his plane flying all over the country and most of the arrangements regarding strategy were made there giving the Democrats very little to go on.

Yet the Obama people led by Rice intended to commit a crime hidden behind a legal precedent. And like the IRS case, many people should go to jail—but they probably won’t because the same people who are supposed to enforce the law are the ones who committed the crime.  The only thing this time that’s different is that we have a president and an attorney general who will see it as I’ve just described it and they are inclined to action.   The constant reminder from the political left that Russians hacked our American election process is to provide a cover story for this legal argument when the courts finally catch up to everything—once the smoke has cleared.

Now we know why Obama was so nice to Trump on the first days of the White House transition and why he hasn’t had much to say about Trump unraveling all the Obama era policies—for which only health care remains. Because he’s guilty and he needs the Russian story to stick to keep his administration out of hot water. And under those conditions, you don’t want to get caught providing further testimony on the matter—good or bad.  Without proof that the Russians actually did anything—their cover story is pretty thin which Tucker Carlson on Fox News started to uncover during his show on 4/3/2017.  The truth is, there isn’t any proof that the Russians hacked the American election process.

F.B.I. Director Comey blundered the whole case himself when he uttered during testimony before Congress intentions that the Russians had without bringing forth any evidence to support it hoping that his spectral access to intelligence might be enough to sell the story—but it wasn’t.  It was embarrassing testimony for which Trey Gowdy challenged him on—politely.  Gowdy knows that there is no evidence that can be produced that the Russians did anything to get Trump elected.  The fault for the Democratic loss is squarely on the Hillary Campaign and the failed policies of the Obama administration.  They had lied, cheated and manipulated their way to the top only to crash and burn once caught—which at this point they all have.

The Susan Rice news is huge, and the only reason it’s not Watergate level big is that our media is in on the act. The story is actually too huge to cover because so many people who present the news and temperament of our times to us are guilty.  It will likely take decades for it to settle into the American consciousness because all the people involved will deny everything for the rest of their lives and only fresh faces will have the courage to deal with these massive tragedies.  But it all starts with Trump and without him, we wouldn’t have this much.  That’s why I elected him—and so far he’s doing exactly what I want him to do—including golfing with Rand Paul to make a deal on health care.  When Obama played golf he was scheming.  When Trump does it, he’s making deals for America—and that’s all the difference in the world.

The Dream of Cabela’s: A pizza guy from Westgate Towers

When I was a kid my idea of a great day was any day I had a chance to go to the Army Surplus Store in Fairfield, Ohio.  Most of my cloths and equipment that fueled my childhood came from that one store.  So it is no surprise that as an adult, some of my very best days still come from that same place, but now there are many more options for me than I ever dreamed of.  Now when I need a good day free of the politics from the outside world, I go to Cabela’s in West Chester right across from the Liberty Center shopping complex and every single visit is just a wonderful experience.  Specifically I go there to buy 209 shotgun primers for my Cowboy Fast Draw Association activities.  I shoot between 50 to 100 rounds per day at my private range, so I go through a lot of primers and Cabela’s carries them in their reloading section which is easy to get to without a lot of hassle.  At Bass Pro in nearby Forest Park they keep the primers behind the counter which means you have to get someone to help you, and I most of the time don’t feel like talking to anybody, so Cabela’s is where I buy most of them.

I love to have a hobby that gives me a reason to go to Cabela’s so often.  I remember when it wasn’t so easy to get outdoor related equipment, and to get the best stuff you had to order it through the mail.  This idea of everything you might need for some grand adventure being available at the slightest impulse is something I treasure greatly.  On this latest visit it was a very nice spring day and I had a particularly stressful week.  I enjoy the reloading section at Cabela’s because it oozes self-reliance and American ingenuity.  I had recently returned from Europe where guns are extremely taboo so it was very nice to look around and see all the pro-American clothing, knives and guns that surround that section of the store.  Then to consider that with the items you can get at Cabela’s you can pretty much become your own ammunition factory.  If guns represent freedom from the tyranny of political mistakes—which happen all the time—the ability to reload your own ammunition is the next step and I never get tired of looking through their selection of dies, brass and powder to see what’s new.

I did see some .500 S&W Magnum ammunition that had only 350 grain bullets, which might not break the arm of guests I let shoot my big gun the next time I’m entertaining out-of-town clients.  The price was only $32 for a box of twenty which was really good.  People who come to America from places where you can’t have guns love to shoot guns if they get the chance.  Back in the old days before the world went mad, such people went to strip clubs to see things they might not be able to see in their more rigid cultures.  I’m personally not a fan of that kind of thing—but shooting is another matter, especially since West Chester now has a very good shooting range at Premier.  Men especially, would rather shoot the big .500 Magnum which as I’ve stated has its own pillow in my bed with my wife and I, than they would seeing some T&A.  You can see that anywhere these days, but shooting a big “man’s” gun isn’t, so reasonably priced ammunition at Cabela’s was a welcomed site.

Cabela’s is a purely American invention.  Nowhere in Japan would anybody see anything like Cabela’s, where you can buy various nuts to eat and other snacks just twenty-five feet from guns, knives and ammo and each time I visit I think about just how nice it is.  Everything at Cabela’s is big, like the way that American’s think.  And even though we take them for granted in the United States, the water fountain at Cabela’s works really good—the bathrooms are big, and clean—it is just a really good place to visit to recharge your batteries.  I was literally just in Paris a few weeks ago and I didn’t see a single water fountain anywhere—not in the train stations, not in the museums—nowhere.  In the United States you can see them just about everywhere in public, but not in other places in the world.  So in defiance and to celebrate the kind of abundance that American society produces, Cabela’s has a nice, beautiful water fountain that pushes up a nice stream of water that doesn’t require you to put your head too close to the fountain itself.  In more primitive times you’d have to search out a creek that some animal hadn’t pissed in upstream to get some fresh water.  But in modern society, especially at nice outdoor shopping complexes like Cabela’s, you can get a nice drink from the drinking fountain and come away stress free and hydrated to continue the hunt for whatever you were looking for.

I often think about the logistics it requires to offer things like drinking water to a water fountain, keeping bathrooms clean and ensuring that customers get everything they are looking for in a shopping experience that might not sell some items on the shelf for months after they had been acquired for display.  It can be complicated.  But at Cabela’s they feature a nice waterfall in the back of the store that has fish in it.  It’s not nearly as nice as the one they have at Bass Pro in Forest Park, but the running water does give off a fresh air feeling that you might expect to feel on an early morning hike through the mountains.  I’m aware of it as I go through the reloading section each time and I catch myself looking at the items on the shelf just a bit longer because it’s an enjoyable experience.

To a lot of people it probably seems like a small thing to think about, but I thought it worthy to note.  I really appreciate my Cabela’s in West Chester.  It is one of my favorite places to go and just knowing that I can get away for an hour or so and put my mind in such a positive place is very valuable.  I’m more aware of it now because of my recent trip overseas.  If I wasn’t doing a lot of shooting and had a reason to visit so often, I probably wouldn’t notice much.  But having the ability to shoot in my garage and get my materials just a few miles away is something that is very unusual in the world.  I recently spoke to a guy from Morocco who was working as a pizza guy in Canterbury just outside of the Westgate Towers and he was very interested in me and my cowboy hat that I wore in there to pick up food several times over the course of the month of February 2017.  He wanted to know all about Donald Trump and if we could buy guns in our grocery stories.  When he asked me that I thought of Cabela’s and I had to tell him truthfully that we could.  He gave me the most exasperated look of excitement.  “Really, you Americans are crazy,” he said with a smile.  For which I replied, “ but nobody will try to invade us.”

At that moment the kid handed me my stacks of pizza and we exchanged money quietly saying nothing more, but both of us aware of some hidden tension coming from his direction.  “Except for Obama.”  I looked at him and thought for a moment of what he said.  “You’re a pretty smart guy.  You should come to America and make pizzas there.  You might even get rich.”  He smiled and said, “and I’ll be able to buy a gun?”  I looked at him and said, “you could buy a gun, a nice pair of shoes, some new underwear and a giant can of almonds all under the same roof.  And if you wanted to you could drive home with your very own boat attached to the back of your car.  It’s called Cabela’s.”  He smiled and said—“You make it sound like such a dream.”  For which I said—“because it is.  Have a nice day!”

The Dying Democratic Donkey: Russians were not a factor in the 2016 Election

As if we didn’t already know, Evelyn Farkas, the former DOD Obama deputy told us everything we needed to know about the Trump case involving Russia.  Let’s review shall we, what we know about the case of Russian tampering of the Election of 2016—at a press conference shortly after Donald Trump wrapped up the Republican nomination for president he revealed that he hoped that the Russians had information about Hillary Clinton’s lost emails because Wikileaks had revealed very damaging information about the DNC and John Podesta himself on how they conducted their business.  The cause of all the commotion was Hillary Clinton herself who had obviously destroyed evidence and broken the law.  Yet to stay in the race, the Democrats needed some kind of diversion so they made a big deal about Trump’s obvious tongue in cheek statement about the Russians hoping something might stick.  Trump continued to feed that line of dialogue saying often that he could see himself meeting with Vladimir Putin before his inauguration just to stir up the pot in the final days ahead of the 2016 Election and the Russian president publicly stated that he supported Trump over Hillary. That’s it.  All this noise about Trump and Russia having some kind of relationship is complete nonsense.  Trump would never make a deal with Putin to win an election because the leverage game would have been too great in Putin’s favor and that’s where the proof of the case will take us.  And as Jessie Watters illustrated in the below clip, all Democrats are getting really desperate since the story isn’t sticking and now that Evelyn Farkas screwed up big time and ran her mouth on television about how the Obama White House spied on Trump—they all have big trouble and things are going to get worse for them.

Because the progressives in the swamp of Washington D.C. have built a giant coalition of global suck asses, talking to members foreign countries is a part of the job, and in the closing days of the election when it looked like Trump might actually win—according to Evelyn Farkas, the Obama White House advocated spying so they could get something on Trump since literally nothing else had worked even though they had thrown the kitchen sink and the soap at him.  They hoped since he was wealthy that somewhere someplace he was up to no good and that in his joking around Trump had revealed some secret into the release of all the Podesta Wiklileaks reports.

They couldn’t take responsibility for the situation themselves, so they had to somehow pin it on Trump—which of course he never allowed.  So only by abusing the rights of Trump’s transition team did the Obama Democrats think they had some chance at staying viable as a party after a crushing defeat.  After all, Obama would soon be out of office and he’d lose the ability to spy on enemies which his White House and Justice Department had continuously done all through his presidency. Remember Bill Ayers the domestic terrorist who launched Obama’s political life from his living room in Chicago?  This is what you get when you give such people power—they cheat, steal, and do whatever they must to advance their ideological causes. From the viewpoint of red state Republicans—which is most of the North American continent, Barack Obama was a domestic terrorist who simply used a different method of attack than Ayers did toward the American way of life. And now Obama has been caught.

Because Trump had stated that he thought he might get along with Russia, Trump’s people probed those potentials shortly after the election and that involved General Flynn but as it will turn out—it was nothing more than courtesy calls, no different from other discussions with other countries.  Trump had won the election on his own by capitalizing on Democratic mistakes.  Hillary Clinton made it easy because she had so much to hide and had made so many errors.  Additionally, Russia does not have nearly as much power as the Democrats are trying to advocate they do leaving them in a very bad place.  Now that Trump has been president for a measly 10 weeks, the direction of the country is going somewhere they can’t handle and they are literally freaking out.  Evelyn Farkas just happened to be someone from their team who revealed the playbook on an MSNBC show that nobody watched—so it took a month for the information to come out.

At this point it should be remembered that I predicted the end of the Democratic Party right before the election on the Matt Clark radio show, and all this noise about Russia by those same dying Democrats is the realization that the end is near for them.  They are a wounded animal that is bleeding out and they are surrounded by the hunters that will soon skin them down to the bone—and they are aware of it.  Now for them it’s tough because they have so many tentacles into so much of our modern world, especially through all the various media platforms that Democrats literally dominate.  But the Election of 2016 is as close as they will come to power again as Obama’s White House will always be known as the most corrupt America had ever known.  The abuses of power that have taken place will have come at a terrible cost for them and since they didn’t get their person in the White House—they are now out of power and dying of a bleeding they can’t stop.  This talk about Russia is the last cries of a dying animal who can feel the end closing around them.

Typically Republicans can’t walk and chew gum at the same time and much to the exasperation of the Democrats, who control the media, Trump is defending himself very well and the Russian distraction story isn’t stopping his White House.  This is precisely why I voted for Trump in the first place, because he was battle hardened and I always knew that the only way to get these vile insurgents out of our American politics was to fight and beat them out of it.  There is no coexistence with modern Democrats and that was their own choosing.  We are in a modern fight for our very lives and they are the ones bleeding out, soon to die as a party.  Trump is unusually passionate about winning everything he does which works out well for right-sided Republicans because after another year of this 2017 kind of White House, people won’t want to go back.  Trump does more in one week than Obama did during his entire terms of presidency and its all adding up very quick.

The swamp isn’t happy about any of this so they are colluding with that desperate media to do anything to sink Trump—but their efforts are pointless. Donald Trump has them on the ropes and he knows it.  And the facts are on his side and he knows that too.  He knows the Democratic Party is bleeding dry and he’s not going to lose that advantage.  It’s kind of like a champion team has the lead with just a quarter to play and its obvious the other team can’t do anything even with a miracle to come back.  Trump’s administration has the game won and they are beating everyone over the head with it—Republicans and Democrats.

I also predicted in that same radio show that the new two-party system would split between the current Republicans.  When Trump came out against the Freedom Caucus the battle lines were clear between the former “Never Trumpers” like Glenn Beck’s people, and the more moderate Ryan types.  Trump truly is not ideological—he just likes to win, so whoever gives him a repeal on Obamacare will be within his alliance—but doing right for Trump is only defined by winning.  That is the only way we’d even get a consideration of Obamacare repeal, because the swamp grows even under banners of indecision.  Holding a position of pure ideology doesn’t work when you get so many people in a room.  If that were the case we never would have had a Constitution to begin with.  Jefferson had to make lots of concessions to his ideology to get the votes needed to even have the Constitution that we do have today which I think is way too “Federalist.”  I much prefer the Anti-Federalist viewpoints so no matter how constitutionally pure the “Never Trumpers” pat themselves on the back for being—I’ll still be disappointed by the end result.  So I’m more inclined to support a winning strategy that walks things back over time than a stalemate that ends in a circling of the wagons and a loss by circular gunfire.  At this point Trump doesn’t care if Rand Paul gets his way or if it’s Paul Ryan.  Trump just wants results which is yet another spear in the side of Democrats and the Republicans like John McCain who desperately want the swamp to remain.  Trump was sent to Washington D.C. to drain the swamp, and that’s exactly what he’s doing.

When the smoke clears the Russian story will be a complete fabrication by a desperate party and the media that supports them to continue living.  The hard facts are that the Democrats destroyed themselves by constantly trying to rig the game and they finally got caught by it and their old tactics of trying to off load their problems onto the nice Republicans who have always taken away their burdens.  Trump just kicks their problems off the wagon and laughs about it—because that’s what he has done for many years and why he’s been so successful in real estate.  It’s why we should have actual business people in political office as opposed to political hacks because they are molded through real world achievement and not scholastic theory. The media that is using this Russian story as a narrative to destroy Trump will find that all they’ve done in the end was strengthen the President and weaken their place in the future.  People do love a winner and in spite of all the controversy, people love Trump.  If he ran for office right now his margin for victory would be even greater—because people know what’s going on deep down inside. It might be hard to articulate it through the current noise, but once that Democratic Donkey dies—everything will be very clear.

The Great Global Warming Hoax: Everything you have learned is wrong

Like most things the political left does around the world, mass distortions and hijacked reality are among their panicle interests—and that could never be truer than it is over their issue of global warming. Our modern sciences are completely taken over and ruined by these sloppy minded idiots and when you know the facts, it’s quite disgusting.  This never hit home more powerfully than it did when I recently visited the English Channel at Dover and Brighton, England and considered that just 12,000 years ago to about 9,000 years ago—the span of time for which our modern civilization was born and nurtured to its current state—human beings not much different from us were able to walk the vast grassy plains easily between the islands of Britain and France.  In fact, there were land bridges all over the world at that time because the ocean levels were 300 feet lower as the massive amounts of ice during the Ice Age displaced those levels enormously—and there wasn’t any man-made climate change back in those days from planes, trains, and automobiles.  Rather, it is very disgusting to learn with hard evidence that the modern scientists are lying to everyone about global warming—because there never has been such a thing.  The earth goes through many cycles of warming and cooling—and eventually it will cease to exist altogether.  And without question, the sea levels will continue to rise as they always have meaning most human cities along current coastlines will be under water—but manmade carbons are not the cause.  It’s part of the geologic cycles of our planet and they will occur with or without us.

I’ve always known about the ocean levels, but when you see such vast expanses of open water and think about people walking under them, it really goes a long way to explaining how people populated the world in such mass as they did—and much earlier than previously thought.  It wasn’t just the Bering Strait that allowed people to walk from Russian into North America but also down through Indonesia into Australia and obviously from Great Britain all the way over to Russia.  Even from Northern Ireland to Greenland wasn’t difficult for a small boat to cross there meaning the journey from east to west into North America from that direction would not be out of the question as Greenland was essentially a part of the North American continent.  Florida and Texas nearly touched with one complete landmass and much of the space between Florida and the Bahamas were on land.  I’ve covered before the topic of the many supposed temples and pyramids under the ocean especially off the coast of Florida and the map below really shows what those ancient coastlines looked like and shows how human civilizations set up along those ancient oceans would have easily been under water as the Ice Age closed and the levels rose up again.   But even so, oral traditions would have remembered how to get to those distant lands once they were cut off from each other by rising oceans—so taking the journey across would not have been so scary.  From 14,000 years ago to about 5,000 the space between continents spread but the memory of them drove intercontinental trade and global diffusion.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2630738/How-world-looked-ice-age-The-incredible-map-reveals-just-planet-changed-14-000-years.html

What we call ancient is essentially a flash in the pan in geological time and that is the only way to measure global warming or cooling.  If you apply some measly human lifetime to the topic, you’ll get distorted data about what’s really going on and it is there where you see that the political left attempts to use these natural earth cycles as a way to protest capitalist endeavor so they can carry civilization back to the Vico Cycle where they are most comfortable.  And to my way of thinking 10,000 years ago—or even 20,000 isn’t that long.  The earth has gone through far more transition prior to all that—our understanding of the sciences is really infantile at this point.  We certainly are not mature enough to grasp a concept about global warming caused by human beings.  It doesn’t pass the smell test of hard science.  Rather the science offered has been corrupted by grant money given to produce a political result which lashes out against human productivity because things are moving too quickly for the power-hungry leftist who claims of themselves to be free-living and open minded—but desires more than anything to return back to aristocratic ways or even the secure religions of a theocracy.  In that world they understood their role in the world more than they do today, so they use these fears of ocean levels as a way sell their politics.  And that’s all global warming is—its politics run amok by scientists willing to compromise integrity for grant money.

I was four years old when I was so terrified of the next Ice Age that my mom had to calm me down enough to go to bed.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  I was starting to play at reading books and I watched a documentary on television about the Ice Age and I learned that the ice had come down from the great north distances as far south as my house in Butler County, Ohio and the understanding that it would happen again was the scariest thing I can remember from my childhood.  That was when I had to come to the understanding that all would not remain the same in the world and it bothered me for weeks.  When I did start having to ride a school bus to school I’d look out the windows at the countryside outside and think about mile high ice that had carved out and flattened everything I could see and in thousands of years it would happen again.  That meant every house and road that I could see would be gone once again and wiped clean from the earth and that was a tough concept for a little guy to understand—yet I grappled with it for a long time.

A few years later an earth sciences teacher wanted to stump our class on the nature of the Hawaiian Islands and I was the only kid who knew they were the tips of massive mountains and not just floating on the surface of the water the way that some modern Democrats believe.  (“cough”………..Hank Johnson)  I had been thinking about ocean levels rising and falling most of my life and I never visit an ocean where it doesn’t cross my mind.  But even way back into my grade school years I understood it and none of my teachers did.  And they were supposed to be the smart ones. I really think to this day many of our mythologies whether it’s the Epic of Gilgamesh, or the Noah story could be confirmed if we had a better way of performing underwater archaeology.  I’m not a big fan of taking the Bible in an historic sense because its a mixture of history and mythology filtered to use through a Roman Empire and a crazy Medieval Church but if Noah was the 10th son of Adam and all his linage lived for a thousand years or so, the timing would have been about right for the end of the Ice Age.  Noah was after all 600 years old when the flood came and he lived for 300 years after. I’m just sayin’. I think the Garden of Eden as we think of it in the biblical sense is now underwater in the Persian Gulf which like the English Channel would have been mostly large flat land easy to settle by mankind because it had once been the bottom of the ocean only recently revealed as dry land during the Ice Age.

In my own neighborhood before the glacial ice came the Ohio River ran much further north well above the 1-70 corridor.  The spot my home sits on now was a part of the Teays River system—which is why the farming was always so good in and around the Fairfield area—because the area flooded often as the river ran north through there leaving great fresh top soil.  I had a grandfather who had a farm on Seward Road and I always marveled at the soil there which was almost milky soft compared to the soil at my home a few miles away on higher ground that contained a lot of clay.  The soil at the farm was so nice because it was the bottom of an ancient riverbed—then a lake nearly the size of modern-day Lake Erie.  I tell this story to people who visit the Union Center Blvd exit these days and I show them the ridge lines of Beckett Ridge and the high ground of Muhlhauser and off to the west in Fairfield and try to paint a picture for them of the ancient river that flowed over our heads and they listen as if interested, but it’s hard for them to get their minds around.  To most people the Ohio River always flowed where it does in its present location but when the ice came it reshaped the landscape and actually reversed the flow of the river pushing it south.  As this occurred large lakes would have formed for at least centuries until the ice would have won the battle and the present day Ohio River was formed.  That was only 2 million years ago during another Ice Age—not that long.  All this happened without the influence of human beings.  They were around, but they certainly didn’t cause it.

Advocates of global warming are blissfully ignorant of these facts—instead they hope to take a snap shot of the earth as it is today and to freeze it literally in the time of their human occupation—and use that as the measure of earth’s health.  Their grasp of history geological, and archaeologically is that shallow—like Hank Johnson.  People who believe in global warming are typically stupid people who are too lazy to grapple with the facts.  When Hank Johnson expressed fear that Guam would become overly populated in the Pacific and tip over from the weight he was showing his level of understanding about the way the world worked, and people like that are the first to believe all this global warming crap.  But obviously there isn’t any relevancy to the charges—because they don’t exist.  Earth will do what it will with or without us—and if we want to live as a species, we’ll move off the earth and into space to shape our own destiny, and divorce ourselves from the sun and the moon—and the position of the stars.  And it’s only then that we will have done what humans were always supposed to do—and not limit ourselves to a jealous earth that is always changing and is unreliable over its geologic history.  For human beings, it’s time to move on and colonize space because the next Ice Age is coming—and no liberal protests will stop it.

  1. Well said. One baby momma said she had three babies at home. I would bet she is on full welfare. She had no business being in that cesspool. She should have been home taking care of her babies.

    1. What a pathetic mess that whole story is. These idiots behave like this then wonder why we don’t want to associate with them. They call us racist just for having values. Just pathetic. Watch the videos of those people and you can see the cause of all their problems.

Alan Bean and Hip Hop: Why its likely migrations from Mars were a part of our past

The below article about a comment the astronaut Alan Bean gave, covered in The Huffington Post, bothered me intensely. Bean represents the current academic view point largely shaped by the National Geographic Society and the Smithsonian about the nature of life as we know it—and he’s dead wrong.  As I have said about the Cameo Night Club shooting in Cincinnati—and other things regarding politics in general, no society can sustain itself exhibiting the values we are today from different sectors of our global culture.  It just doesn’t work—the people who attend places like the Cameo Night Club are not productive people who can lead a civilization toward prosperity.  Rather they are something that seems to always arise in human beings that is programmed into us at the core of our very cells—a self-destructive predilection toward always starting over.  In the great novel Finnegan’s Wake we refer to this as the Vico Cycle.  Without question the hip hop culture and counter culture of socialism infused into America during the 1960s on up through today is an attack on the intellectual expansion that came from America during westward expansion and the Industrial Revolution.  The apogee of those human experienced peeked in the 1980s then began to recede back toward primal concerns—in spite of the invention of the Internet which became common in the 1990s.  The hip hop activity I illustrated in reaction to the Cameo Night Club shooting was something that has happened to the human race likely for many thousands of years—a cycle of theology, aristocracy, democracy, and then anarchy only to start over again and again.  My intention is to stop that cycle.  Human culture seems hell bent to repeat it with an eye on infinity—never breaking free.

That is why it’s important to read this Huffington Post article as I did for context. Please read the following very carefully:

When Bean retired from NASA in 1981, he became an excellent artist who paints the experiences of fellow astronaut-moonwalkers.

Astronaut Alan Bean holds a container of lunar soil collected during Apollo 12 extravehicular activity.

Bean’s spacefaring experiences have given him plenty of time to think about the question of whether earthlings are alone in the universe, and specifically, whether aliens have discovered us.

“I do not believe that anyone from outer space has ever visited the Earth,” Bean told the Australian news site news.com.au. “One of the reasons I don’t believe they have been here is that civilizations that are more advanced are more altruistic and friendly ― like Earth, which is better than it used to be ― so they would have landed and said, ‘We come in peace and we know from our studies you have cancer that kills people, we solved that problem 50 years ago, here’s the gadget we put on a person’s chest that will cure it, we will show you how to make it.’

“Just like someday, say, 1,000 years from now, when we can go to another star and see a planet, that’s what we would do, because we will know how to cure cancer, cure birth defects, so we would teach them.”

I do believe that Alan Bean has taken up the very unhealthy habit of smoking Crack. Because no sane, rational mind could believe such things from a supposed educated position.  Bean believes, as many modern academics do, that human progress is linier so that once something like the wheel, or fire is discovered, mankind perpetually advances forward.  However, there is great evidence counter to that belief that is spewing out under every rock of modern archaeology, primarily that human kind rises from the ashes then advances to a certain point, then falls back to their beginnings over and over again.  And this process may very well have happened well before there was an Ice Age many times over.  For instance, consider that during the last Ice Age over 10,000 years ago ocean levels were 300 feet lower than they are today.  Forget about the mythical global warming theories perpetuated by modern politics to help with the Vico Cycle in taking mankind backwards intellectually—we’re talking about real science that has been proven.  That would mean that the entire English Channel would have been dry land—as well as many other places around the world.  Additionally, the land around Florida would be much larger meaning that much of the archaeology of that period would have been near the coast lines of that age.  That would put them underwater today.  Most of the archaeology that we study today from that time would have been deeply inland away from the vast water supplies and fish that being near the coast would have provided.  There are likely entire cities buried under that 300 feet of water now.  And this kind of thing could have happened many times over in the past.  After 10,000 years, a lot of the things that humans use and produce simply erode away into nothing.  Only something like stone can last the ages, but even then, the rate of erosion is very fast when compared to geologic time.

Due to the advanced arithmetic of the builders of Stonehenge and the various mound sites around the world, we are talking about people who learned these things from somewhere. They certainly didn’t learn them while hunting fish or catching game across the vast plains of grass during the last Ice Age.  There is some missing information that is likely buried under the oceans.  Just as New York City is built along an ocean front, mankind typically builds its largest metropolises on coastal regions, and during the last Ice Age, those coasts would have been very different from today.  The missing links to our modern understanding are likely located in those places.  Meanwhile, there are way too many reports about archaeology on the moon and Mars not to assume that there was life there at some point in time and likely they found their way to earth for either short periods of time, or for sustained stays.  Again, we won’t know until we visit these places for sure, but the evidence looks to be pretty convincing that we will find remnants of ancient civilizations on the moon and Mars when we set up settlements.  But like life on earth, they have went through their own Vico Cycles which we obviously have inherited in some yet to be discovered way.

If we look honestly into the past with an understanding of the Vico Cycle, we can see clearly what Alan Bean and many other intellectuals are missing. Just because a civilization is technical and masters certain aspects of interplanetary travel that doesn’t mean they can sustain themselves as a culture.  That doesn’t mean that people from an advanced culture once they are torn away from it won’t revert back to a primal state when forced to adapt to changing circumstances.  Take any of us in the present day of 2017.  Drop us off on a tropical island and we’d be forced to live as did our ancestors of Cro-Magnon from 10,000 BC.  We might have knowledge of our flat screen televisions, cars, flight and smart phones, but all those things would be useless to that reality of living on an island with no electricity or network signals to communicate with the outside world, and we’d revert back to primacy—quickly.

You can see that same primacy in modern cultures such as in Muslim groups, and in Hip Hop Clubs, even in motorcycle gangs—humans once they take their eye off greatness and forward achievement revert to an almost animal state and this always drives us backwards to the beginning of the Vico Cycle.

This seems much more logical than Alan Bean’s suggestion that an advanced society would be more altruistic and technically viable—and willing to help another culture along. Rather, the actual answer is that the Vico Cycle would send aliens to earth for help as a last refuge from whatever failure they endured elsewhere in the galaxy to start again.  If they were coming to earth they were likely fleeing for their lives—not brining cures for cancer.  Then they would mix and assimilate with whatever age of mankind they ran into—they’d mate and create new genetic pools assuming they were compatible through mitochondrial information and the Vico Cycle would start all over again. The assumption that mankind will always move forward is wrong.  A proper political philosophy must be in place before that can happen—it doesn’t occur in a natural state because if left alone—humans revert back to their origin state of animal behavior.  Just look at the conditions of any Hip Hop club and you will see the evidence.  That is not a society that will solve the problems of cancer or put people on Mars to live in a sustainable fashion. So just because Alan Bean walked on the moon that doesn’t make him an expert on all things historical.  It just makes him a guy who walked on the moon—just like we all will soon.  But before we can we must stop the trend to constantly reinvent ourselves through the Vico Cycle.  In that sense, I would say that America came the closest to breaking that Vico Cycle curse during westward expansion and the Hollywood westerns that followed.  That philosophic position of morality, exploration, and individual achievement was the closest that humans have ever come to breaking free of that perilous prison called the Vico Cycle.  When we stop that—mankind will advance and likely discover that out of the millions and millions of life forms floating around in the universe there is a very real possibility that we might be the first to break the code.  And that should not be an audacious thought for any of us.  But something expected.  In that regard, we should never listen to people like Alan Bean.  He just doesn’t get it.
