It’s never wrong to learn the truth about things.  But it can be painful, disillusioning even.  And that is certainly the case at Lakota schools with the Darbi Boddy situation on the school board.  You can talk about these kinds of things in a conspiracy kind of format, but there is nothing like the truth to tell the world what is going on, and this is undoubtedly the case in all politics, from a local school board to state races, federal positions, even governorships.  Politics, at its most fundamental level, is about managing people’s needs for government.  Government is not meant to be an aristocratic position where the public serves those in government but a condition where politicians serve the people through it.  And in many ways, I can’t blame people for getting it all wrong.  These are problems people have had for thousands of years.  The United States has fixed the problem better than anybody else, and we wrote it down in our Constitution.  But living up to that high measure is extremely difficult for most people.  And when we put three conservatives on the school board at Lakota in 2022, we did so believing in the Constitutional law system and community representation.  But wherever money is involved, there will always be thieves and cutthroats to bring corruption to the task, and that is precisely what we find ourselves dealing with at all levels of government, from the Darby Boddy situation at Lakota to tax money being sent to Ukraine.  It’s all the same game for the same ridiculous reasons.  That doesn’t mean you pack up your toys, go home, and use corruption as an excuse not to participate.  But if you stick around and try to solve the problem, you will be very disappointed, and I am, on many levels. 

Many people have asked me a million different ways to get involved in one of these elected positions.  And I would never say I won’t do it.  But I have a very mobile life that has every hour of the day extremely spoken for.  It is not uncommon for me to do one thing one day, and 24 hours later, I’m on the other side of the world doing something completely unrelated.  And political life takes a certain level of commitment to stability that I just don’t have.  But I do respect people with that level of dedication, and I try to help them whenever possible.  I respect people who provide that commitment, even if they do things not as I would.  I respect them for doing government work because it ultimately takes good people to be in government for the right reasons to even hope for a good government.  And with that said, I have a lot of friends who are in politics whom I like quite a lot.  Darbi Boddy is one of them, indeed.  I remember talking to her about getting on the school board, and she innocently said yes for all the reasons I wanted her to.  I wanted a good person to do good work in government for all the right reasons.  And for all those same reasons, I wanted Trump to run and win in 2016, and we are seeing the after-effects of those types of people colliding with the corrupt forces that were always there.  I would say I am as much of an insider in politics without actually being a politician myself as a person can get.  But I was certainly surprised to learn the raw facts of this Lakota case with Darbi.  I’m glad I did, and it answers a lot of questions I have always had.  And it certainly helps articulate a solution to these many problems. But in the end, it is very disappointing to see so many people functioning on such a preposterously foolish level. 

When Darbi was first elected, I kept hearing all this crazy talk about elections being elections and governing is governing.  The thought was that if Darbi intended to be the school board member she ran her campaign on, there would be trouble.  Which is something I have thought for a long time.  The school board positions, as well as just about every elected position in our country, have an assumption that you say one thing to get elected.  Then you serve some blind aristocracy once you are in office.  There is a belief from the donor base that they own the rights to your opinions because they gave you the power you ultimately wouldn’t have through campaign contributions.  This is what we see with the Never Trumper movement behind Nikki Haley, in which they are learning the same hard lessons as we speak.  And it took some time to unravel the Darbi Boddy story, even as I was very close to it.  But pulling away all the tape to get to the core problem took time.  And what we found out is that the law firms run Lakota schools.  They have no intention of ever letting a real representative elected by actual voters handle the quarter-billion-dollar tax-fueled budget that the union-controlled public school runs.  That’s why primarily stupid people end up on these school boards, the Joe Biden types.  Because they are easy to control, and Darbi refused to be controlled.  So they conspired to get rid of her, and ultimately, the lawyers had to show their cards in their role in the whole scam, which was disappointing. 

When it comes to school boards and public schools, I am done trying to help fix them.  I’m certainly not done criticizing them, but I have no faith in government-run schools because we should always be wary of government because of the vast amounts of confiscated wealth they control.  I’m not an anti-government guy.  And I’m not “a my way or the highway” kind of guy regarding politics.  But I would expect everyone to at least follow the Constitution, which is not even close to the reality of it.  And these lawyers who have acted to subvert it openly have been disgusting.  It violates everything the Bar Association intended to establish by the rule of law in America.  But it’s not just at Lakota; the entire Washington D.C. Beltway operates precisely the same way, and that’s why they hate Trump and are terrified of him reentering the White House.  When money is involved, many bad people will do anything in the world to be Lords of Easy Money, except work hard to earn it.   The public schools are just as corrupt as money in Ukraine or most things the government gets involved in.  And when you realize that, it’s like learning that the old dog you have loved all your life has become sick, and you must put it down for its own good.  That’s the plot of the movie Old Yeller.  It was sad to shoot the dog at the film’s end because it had acquired rabies and was turning on those it was supposed to love.  And as I see how the lawyers have similarly twisted our Constitution, we must understand what that means.  It’s time to take those corrupt, sick lawyers out back and keep them from biting innocent kids with their diseased personalities for the good of our Republic.  They may have been good dogs in the past, but now they are sick, and we can’t let such sick minds run our government and harm innocent people in the process, as they have been doing.
