There has been a lot of confusion about Mike DeWine from the national media after he vetoed HB 68, which would have banned gender neutrality involving minors. As a conservative governor, supposedly, people were mystified. How could he do such a thing? What was he thinking? He’s listed as a Republican, and this is a serious, Democrat issue, Rocky Horror Picture Show nonsense. Well, I must remind everyone that this is the same governor who was horrendous during COVID-19 and was one of the first and most aggressive governors for locking down our economy, following precisely what the World Health Organization wanted us to do. My nickname for him during this time was Dummy DeWine because of his excessive and radical anti-constitutional attitudes during a health crisis, which the Ohio Senate had to rip away from him because he was so abusive and would not give back the power he had taken during that artificial crises, because we now know where Covid came from. As is proven beyond reasonable doubt, COVID-19 was manufactured through gain of function research under the direction of Dr. Fauci and let loose from a lab in Wuhan, China. And Bill Gates and many others conspired with World Economic Forum characters to suppress a cure for the outbreak for all kinds of nefarious reasons. This is all established with lots of evidence in The Wuhan Cover-up by Robert F Kennedy, a fabulous book everyone should read. And Governors like DeWine played right into their hands in horrendously destructive ways. DeWine gave these tyrants power over us in a similar way that he vetoed this bill, showing that he has an excessive weakness for medical personalities who advise him of dangers that might cause people death, no matter how irrational the statement may be.

Ohio House Bill 68 was comprised of two acts: the “Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act,” which would ban transgender minors from receiving gender-affirming medical care, and the “Save Women’s Sports Act,” which would prevent transgender girls from taking part in girls’ and women’s sports. DeWine said at a press conference, “I truly believe that we can address several goals in House Bill 68 by administrative rules that will likely have a better chance of surviving judicial review and being adopted,” Meanwhile, the world contemplated his actions as stunning. In talking to some people on the matter in the aftermath of the veto, there are efforts to override his veto with a majority vote, which is unlikely given that the Speaker of the House is essentially a Democrat. Or that the sports ban portion of the bill can at least be saved since DeWine has now stepped into it severely. Politically, this was a dumb thing to do. But it just reminded me of the guy who shut down Ohio over COVID-19 as his very liberal Health Director, Amy Acton, essentially ruined the world as an Obama-supporting abortion activist. DeWine has a soft spot for healthcare people in a dangerous way, and some of the testimony against HB 68 talked about suicide potential for some of the kids involved. The governor loses all perspective in those conversations and develops a god complex where he considers it a fault of his personality that he can save people with government power. That is how they suckered him during COVID-19 and how progressives won him over on this gender neutrality bill that became a national story within moments of his veto. For progressives, it was a massive victory in a state that now had some of the lowest abortion laws in the country and has now legalized marijuana. And now it wouldn’t take a stand on gender neutrality, which is a major assault against the Christian right, who view the issue of gender mutilation literally as a desecration of God’s temple, the human body.

Since COVID-19, by some nudging of some of my friends, I have had a chance to meet Mike DeWine a bit, and I can say he’s a nice guy.  His wife makes excellent cookies.  And I do not doubt that their intentions are good.  But in essence, they are Yellow Springs hippies from one of the most liberal parts of Ohio.  At best, Mike DeWine is a Democrat, and it’s always been that way, even before COVID came along and made such a mess out of his tenure as governor in Ohio.  Many people held their noses and voted for him as governor; essentially, this is what you get.  The warning signs were all there.  DeWine has been good on gun issues over the last several years, but only because he needed to be re-elected coming out of COVID-19, and he had gotten himself into a lot of political trouble, especially with the other legislative bodies.  He was on his best behavior.  But as I’ve said to many people during all this, Mike DeWine should never be given power over the masses in any way because he can’t handle that power and will always abuse it. 

The Ohio legislature is not done with this gender neutrality issue.  While Mike DeWine was suckered by progressive testimony over emphasizing suicide among young people who are confused about their gender status, the truth is a much more systemic issue about social psychology, and leadership must be established, especially with the number of conservative losses that have now occurred during DeWine’s lame duck term, since he can’t run again and doesn’t have to appease anybody to stay in office.  But this is the danger of letting politicians have too much power because their bad judgment can destroy and harm many people.  Even if their intentions are good, that is undoubtedly true in DeWine’s case.  But his nightmares become everyone else’s reality because, through the power of government, he can become a tyrant through lousy judgment.  DeWine has suffered personal losses that he has never gotten over, which leaves him particularly vulnerable to healthcare workers and their testimonies.  As he says often, if he could save one life, then something should be done.  The trouble is, the bad guys then disguise ill intentions behind that threat, giving them emotional control over someone like DeWine, who can then ruin a state with his neurosis.  And this is all a problem because DeWine was never a conservative; he was always a wishy-washy Democrat who ran as a Republican to gain power but has always leaned toward big government solutions, no matter what they cost, to fill that empty void he has in him that has never recovered from personal tragedies.  That is how tyrants gain power and a good lesson for everyone to remember how DeWine was during Covid and now won’t take a stand on a controversial issue of gender mutilation that has as a wind in its sails an apparent evil driven by radically progressive politics and a desecration of our entire culture.  Yes, Mike DeWine is an embarrassment to Ohio and has been since the first day he was in office.  He may be a crafty politician who can tell you what you want to hear while his wife passes out cookies in the Statehouse.  But when it comes to leadership, he is a big government guy who punts policy to health tyrants who we now know tend toward maliciousness and even murder if it achieves their strategic objectives, which are more of a military assault on our culture than a concern over the suicide of confused kids who became that way due to bad parenting.  There are a lot of kids suffering under such conditions, and the best thing that would help most of them is good, solid, conservative politics.  A lot more lives would be saved if Republicans managed the world much more.  But in the world of Mike DeWine, that is too big of an idea for his tiny mind to grasp.  So he trusts the health experts, who have been the source of most of the trouble.
