Why Thomas Hall is so Great: If only everyone was so lucky

Fight, fight, fight was the theme of the evening at the GOP tent at the VOA Country Music Festival, where several officeholders and some running for the first time gathered together ahead of the upcoming elections.  It was an excellent time to catch up with everyone. I could speak to many people in a way that I hadn’t done for a long time, which was good.  But what do we mean by fighting and winning in politics?  When I think of such a thing, I think of the young man Thomas Hall, who is the Ohio Representative in my district and is running to hold the seat he currently has.  But he wasn’t always in my district; he used to have the Middletown area, but now, in District 46, he represents Liberty Township and the surrounding areas, which I’m thrilled with.  I’ve seen Thomas Hall in the pressure cooker for a while now, and I supposed he’s not as much of a young man as when he first started in politics.  But I think a lot of him, and for good reason.  I have been meaning, and we didn’t quite get there during this event, to talk to him about his recent trip to Israel, which I am very interested in.  But behind the politics, Thomas Hall is just a good person, one of those cases where he’s better than the package you see.  He’s just a promising young man who has survived the fires of Hell and come out on top, and he looks poised to stay there.  This is a good thing for anybody he represents in the Ohio Statehouse.  He takes his job very seriously, and it shows.  I’ve seen him in Columbus work a room, and if he didn’t have a great foundation to work with, it would be easy to be swept away by lobbyists and other scandalous characters.  But with Thomas, you get the feeling with him that he’s always savvy and under control.  And that any malicious intent that comes his way can easily be handled. 

I’ve met his parents several times at some of these events, but we had more time to talk in August of 2024 than we have in the past.  In some of those previous times, things looked so dire that nobody was sure what would happen next.  Politics, as I have said, is a blood sport; things can and do get pretty wild.  Many people who came to the Country Music Festival at the VOA needed to talk to each other.  It’s been a tough four years since Trump left office, and people have lost focus in some respects.  It’s tough when you are trying to grow the tent of the party to accommodate more people, but those people don’t have the same foundations and strength; when the pressure of politics emerges and moral necessities come into play, it’s easy to drift into decay.  And as a political party, Southern Ohio Republicans needed to break some bread together.  A lot of people get into politics for different reasons, and it’s up to each person to find some reason to have common ground with others for the sake of party politics.  Authenticity can often get abused in such cases, but that was never the case with Thomas Hall, and in some of those times, I referred to his parents as good people who made a good kid.  Thomas’ dad was a former police officer, now a firefighter chief.  His mom is a wonderful enthusiast of the men in her life, her husband and son, and when I see them all together, it’s usually a big family affair.  Thomas has, of course, a love interest who I see around town a lot, and she is always supportive and doing the extra work it takes to run successful campaigns.  When you speak with them, you can tell that they all have good foundations that give them firm ground to stand on no matter what is happening in the world. 

So Thomas always tells me he’s grateful to me for getting through some of these tough times of turmoil where rough campaigns got very heated.  My help pushed him over the top and put him in office so he could do the excellent work he is doing presently and, I hope, well into the future.  And I tell him that he’s the one who did all the hard work, and indeed, there are very few people who work as hard at politics as Thomas Hall.  He gets out and knocks on doors and is very tenacious.  And I’ve seen him working directly with Governor DeWine on legislation that was difficult to make happen, so the elbow-twisting part of politics takes a hard worker, and he has deserved all the success he has had and more.  He doesn’t have to throw appreciation my way.  What I have done for him, I do for many people. He’s referring to a lot that goes on behind the scenes, but I’m happy to do it because I like seeing good people get a chance to do good things in the world.  Like a gardener who pulls up the weeds of a garden to protect the good plants, you are trying to grow while preventing the parasites from destroying everything.  I do what I do because I like seeing the good stuff grow.  And Thomas Hall has grown into a lot of good things. 

So when his parents thanked me for all I have done for their son, I had to tell them what I thought of them, which shows up in Thomas, and I think about it a lot.  They were good parents to him.  Thomas Hall has a great foundation that other people in the world don’t have because they, as parents, gave him a great place to start.  If things get too hot, at least Thomas has a nice family that cares for him.  And it shows.  So, while they intended to thank me, which they did, I would give the credit to all of them.  Thomas is a sincerely good person who is not wasting his talent.  But to his parents for raising a good kid who has grown into a good man, a lot of people would love to be so lucky.  The sense of service that Thomas has picked up from his dad is being applied to Ohio positively.  I’m happy to defend and support anybody like that, and there are others.  Perhaps not as good as Thomas, but in my experience with these kinds of things, a lot of similar personality traits emerge in these kinds of people who get involved in politics and want to represent people in government.  Not everyone has the advantage of a good family on which they can rely.  But Thomas Hall does, and as I told his parents, if anybody should be thanking anybody, the world should be thanking them for producing such a nice young and honest man in the world.  I am personally very proud of Thomas Hall.  But I’m also very proud of his parents.  I wish there were more people in the world like them.  And maybe in the future, there will be.  There is hope in the world that people will follow their example and do better for themselves and others.  Usually, when you meet people who are as well put together as Thomas Hall, good parents at the foundation make it all possible.

Anna Paulina Luna is onto Something: Using sex to destroy global communism

I think it is wonderful that someone tried to resurrect an older video of Anna Paulina Luna wearing a Make America Great Again swimsuit that shows her “assets” in a very sexy way.  And it has gone viral.  However, the result is not favorable to the communist left.  They are trying to do the same thing in Chicago, where President Trump has a Trump Tower building; they have projected a Project 2025 HQ on it, trying to associate it with some scandalous enterprise.  All these attempts are aligned with the political platform of global communism and direct attacks on symbols of capitalism.  As I’ve pointed out often, as I have traveled the world, America is unique in its freedoms and associations with sexiness.  Most of the world has a much more submissive role for women, especially in Asian cultures, starting in the Near East.  Women who are ostentatiously sexy, advertising their blooming flowers for the pollination of some select male ruins overtly the plans the world has had for America.  So when they tried to shame Anna Paulina Luna, who is a seriously good congresswoman from Florida, as she modeled a bathing suit saying “Make America Great Again” and turned to show her thonged rear end to the camera, then winked, the faces of the left melted when she did not apologize for it.  And it became even worse when other conservative women joined her in posting their own pictures in bikinis.  I think it’s excellent and healthy to see the reaction of conservative women to the controversy because by doing what they are doing, a spell is being broken that was not the plan.  The plan was shame and compliance.  Not rebellion and boldness.  The way to beat the communist left that is global in their intentions is to stop saying we’re sorry for hurting their feelings. Instead, we would do much better to seek to insult them in every way possible because words do hurt them, and we should seek to hurt them often.

A person who likes herself makes it easy for others to like her. And by that look, Anna likes herself.
Great to have congressional confidence. It’s not specifically how things look. But how the person emits pride in themselves.

Just a lesson on the birds and the bees for those who are insulted by the sexiness of women displaying themselves provocatively.  Some women get upset and very jealous of other women who they feel are prettier than they are.  It is just that kind of insecurity that opens the door to socialism and communism, which is why the radical left political movements seek sameness and group consensus when it comes to sexiness.  Women are supposed to be sexualized; it’s the way human beings are designed.  Just as a bee seeks a beautiful flower to advance pollination, men will work very hard to have the best-looking woman they can get for reproduction rights and rights to sexual exclusivity.  In America, you can’t be a slug and expect a pretty woman to stay interested in you.  In so doing, God has designed the world to inspire the hardest-working men to produce kids with the most beautiful women.  Left unmanaged in this way, if sexual exclusivity is given to every loser and scumbag smoking dope to numb the pain, then society falls into a disaster which global communists then hope will provide them with the power to sweep in and take over the mess from a power perspective.  So, in our capitalist culture, if women dress themselves up to feature their sexy nature, they are then making themselves the prize of the best efforts of civilization.  If you make a lot of money like President Trump did, then maybe you could earn the right to associate with a supermodel like Melania Trump.  Women who don’t want to play this game, of course, are drawn to a managed society of socialism that will insulate them from judgment.  If all women are equally unattractive, they don’t have to worry about competition.  And let’s face it: most people find a mate, have a few kids, and then let themselves go.  The last thing they want is to go to the beach and see some woman walking around in a thong to gain the attention of their husbands, who are still wired to notice such things. 

It’s ok to have fun with life .

It’s one thing to be wired toward biological mechanisms that produce favorable behavior in an economic system where merit is the key to success.  It’s quite another to notice such things and acknowledge the beauty of an attractive flower but to resist intellectually the urge to pollinate it because logic is the guiding light.  Just because a man notices a beautiful woman, that doesn’t mean that a society of sexual recklessness is permissible.  But for the communist left, it is a perfect way to destroy them to have the ethics of a religious society meeting the productivity of a merit-based society where the women are proud of their beauty and ability to inspire men to do great things to associate with them.  The plan was always to lead America into submission to the rules of global order, where all forms of merit were abandoned, and the behavior of all human beings would be set by centralized state control.  When you travel around the world, you see that most women live under this umbrella to a large extent.  You get a few rebellious women here and there who overtly display their sexuality, but usually, it’s not with the same enthusiasm that you see in America because there are no economic conditions to justify the extra effort.  When people are barely getting by in life, and it’s challenging to raise children, people aren’t thinking about the kind of independence that the video of Anna Paulina Luna shows off, a distinctly American lifestyle of freedom built off merit.

Andrea is the Chair for the Manhattan Republican Party. I think we need our own Butler County Chair Todd Hall to accept her challenge. She sets a high bar.
It’s been a plan for a long time. They don’t plan for people to tell them no.

The way to start Making America Great Again is to break this spell of control that the communist left has used to manipulate human behavior in the same psychological ways that large, powerful animals such as elephants are manipulated with shackles trained from youth to be controlled essentially with a little piece of rope that they could easily break if they wanted to.  Humans so shackled with elements of shame learned as children spend their whole lives often contained in ways they could easily break free of if only they knew they could.  Sexuality is a powerful motivator because it’s one of the prime elements of existence.  Control the rules of sex, and you can control the rules of all civilization because men will do just about anything for it, and women control who does what and when.  So controlling the behavior of women is the key to the global communist movement, and the worst thing for them is independent women like Anna Paulina Luna, showing that a centralized society and their opinions do not control her.  If other women are offended, the best thing to do is not to eat those bags of Doritos that end up on their hips.  Work hard and compete with other beautiful women for the attention of men.  Don’t think that just because you’re married and having children, you can let yourself go and turn into a wilted flower, and that centralized government will take away the guilt.  There are so many women of all kinds; all can be beautiful in their own way, just as many different types of flowers are beautiful in full bloom, with lots of colors and shapes.  Natural beauty is the merit of hard work.  When a woman works hard to be attractive, it is good to see them elevating society.  It drives the world to do better.  And for those who want to control that world, they have been trying to destroy that incentive for a long time now.  But the way to break that trend is easy.  Just don’t let them shame you into compliance. Instead, take joy in insulting them.  Because better than any weapon of war, not giving them your guilt will destroy their intentions at their root and obliterate their political movement.  Anna Paulina Luna and the conservative women who have joined her are on to something.  And conservatives would do well to do a lot more of it.

The Epic Vision of George Lang: What government can and do best

The Country Music Festival at the Voice of America Park in West Chester, Ohio, in August of 2024, turned out well.  Obviously, many people had a lot of fun, and it was a very positive experience for tens of thousands of people.  I have a special relationship with that park that goes back a long way because of Senator George Lang, which is worth discussing.  I appreciated the use of that particular park for a lot of sentimental reasons, and it was a very nice evening on the Friday night that Jason Aldean and other country music acts were performing from the vantage point of the Butler County GOP tent.  I had a rare moment to consider that all was right in the world as I looked out over the vast crowd enjoying themselves under a setting sun and a wonderful evening under the stars as the moon peaked out and hung in the sky to listen to the music.  I reflected on similar events around the country, and few could come close to the benefits of the VOA Park in West Chester, Ohio, because of its amenities and commercial access to the outside world.  It’s a huge space to set up something like that Country Music Festival, but still close to the highway and major commercial enterprises, complete with double lane roads and a well-managed civilian population.  I considered it the best that a society could offer and was a great example of what the world everywhere should be like.  But what a lot of people don’t know is the history of the park, and I’m not talking about its location being the site of the Voice of America, which would broadcast anti-communist propaganda to every corner of the world and bring down many authoritarian regimes.  Hitler referred to the site as the Cincinnati Liars because of the effectiveness of the VOA broadcasting station, which is still there and was part of the festival environment all these years later.  It was an excellent place to have a nice night for a community that deserves nice things to happen to it.  It’s been a rough couple of years, so there were plenty of reasons to celebrate. 

One thing about my life is that there aren’t many moments to enjoy a few hours of anything.  Usually, I have packed into every moment of every day many lifetimes of events.  So I don’t leave much time to enjoy life for a few hours.  But under the invite of George Lang and his lovely wife Debbie, my wife and I had a nice date night at the Country Music Festival under the added comforts of the Butler County Republican Party tent that was right off the main stage and had a great view of all the events of the weekend.  Many people tell me that I’m burning the candle at both ends and that I should take more time to do things like that, which I wouldn’t have done without the invite.  But I don’t think so. I do what I do, and I enjoy doing it, including long days of work where my life has a lot going on.  While my wife could complain, she doesn’t.  She understands.  But with all that said, the chance to take a deep breath and have some well-catered food in an air-conditioned tent with so many friends was very well received by my family. 

And speaking about George Lang, as I’ve said before, well, after he’s done with politics, I will likely still be friends with him and his wife.  We’ve all known each other for many years now, starting during his trial, where he was a target of Democrat activism as they were making a move to harm the GOP in Butler County over essentially a turf war.  Can you indict a ham sandwich in grand juries?  Yes, I have much experience with that side of the fence now and will have much to say about it.  Regardless, I thought what Democrats tried to do to George Lang over his relationship with the future Speaker of the House, John Boehner, at that time was horrible.  It was a window into what the courts have been trying to do to Trump now; only George was an early victim of it, and it was scary as he went through it in court.  I tend to like to help people like that in any way I can when they are being picked on by some cruel elements of the outside world, which, at this point, I have done for many people over the years.  But with George and his family, we have stayed friends ever since and have developed some great respect over a long period.  All this occurred when George was a trustee in West Chester before he ever went to Columbus as a state representative.  So, I remember the conditions that helped build the foundation for the VOA Park because the nice park where the Country Music Festival was happening was not always there. 

The decision to let Metoparks manage the property started with George Lang as a trustee, who had in mind a minimal government approach, which is why that particular park is so unique in the world. Typically, a large park with such a significant footprint in the community would be run by the city nearest it.  But George and several other local politicians have fought to keep West Chester as big as it is, as small of a government as it can be, which is a lesson that every community, not just in America, should learn from.  As George and I watched the setting sun over the festivities of that evening and remembered all the years, I had to remind him of his role in all this from a policy standpoint.  If he weren’t such a small government guy, the VOA Park would be another over-managed failure.  However, the decision to let the best at park maintenance manage the park paved the way for its current use.  Which, for me, is a continuation of it being the Voice of America.  I run this blog site essentially from there as a tip of the hat to its historic use as the Voice of America.  I have written many millions of words and read many, many books from that park over the years because it’s where I like to visit to get my thoughts about lofty concepts worked out.  Essentially, that’s because of my friendship with George and his wife, knowing the backstory of the park and how it could only exist with a small government approach to big things.  And that’s what made that Country Music Festival so unusual, something you could drive all over the country and not see so well done as it was in West Chester, Ohio, one of the best places to live anywhere.  And that’s not just me saying that.  It’s known throughout the real estate world.  And that is because it has stayed a small government and resisted the temptation to become a city with mayors and city council members screwing everything up with too much bureaucracy.  It took vision to have the view of government that George Lang has expressed, and what a lot of people don’t know is that his epic vision that helped create that magnificent park is being applied to the state of Ohio right now in ways that will benefit it for many decades to come.  For all those reasons and more, being at that festival that evening, I could only think of how proud I am of him and all the excellent work that goes on behind the scenes that nobody will ever know or understand.  But that ultimately makes the world a much, much, better place.  Good government is the kind of government you never see, but that makes all the possibilities of human existence happen under its power by removing the barriers that would otherwise prevent it.  George Lang is a master of that, and many millions of people are enjoying the efforts he has put forward for their benefit, which was on full display at the Country Music Festival at the VOA Park in West Chester, Ohio, during the exciting year of 2024.

Kamala the Communist: Why the radical left-leaning lunatic can’t answer questions from the media

Yes, Kamala Harris is a communist by all definitions that communists are.  Just because they call themselves something else, doesn’t mean that they aren’t what they are.  A child molester is not a benefactor to children.  They are criminals who rob children of their innocence.  And communists are leeches off economic systems that destroy wealth and opportunity from free people.  And the more people learn about Kamala Harris, a radical politician from California who, like many of them from that region of the world, adopted far-left China policies years ago to the detriment of many people.  And now they want to export their tyranny to the rest of the country instead of just Commie California.  For many years, we have fought communism in the United States, and supposedly, our FBI and CIA have been hard at work trying to protect the United States from the jealous motivations of communist parties around the world.  But the more we have learned about actual history and real terrorist organizations, we find out that many in our government have been opening the door to the house, letting communist sneak into our country by disguising their intentions until it was too late.  And Kamala Harris is just that kind of created politician.  Looking back on it now, it seems like many people in the Democrat party were in on the scandal which is how communism came into our country in the first place, hiding behind what they pretended was their outrage over the McCarthy hearings.  However, as it turned out, Joseph McCarthy was more than correct.  If anything, he didn’t do enough to uncover the secret menace of communism seeping into America.  But now we all know and can see it clearly.  They have been plotting the demise of Joe Biden all along and planned to put Kamala Harris and her communist governor from Minnesota, Tim Walz, into contention at the last minute, hoping nobody would have time to understand what they were doing.  And now people are learning what I’ve been saying all along.  These are outright communists and an open attack against the American way of life.

Did you notice how many of these modern communists are school teachers?  Think about that for a second: what makes people who are inclined to teach children sympathize with communism?  Tim Walz, for example, was a school teacher.  So is “Dr.” Jill Biden.  Communism and the teaching profession are a bad combo, but when we study the patterns of left-leaning teachers in all our public schools, we find many of them are outright communist sympathizers and likely would have a Harris sign in their yards.  That’s what we are dealing with; it didn’t happen overnight. Instead, many modern people probably don’t even know the difference; they have grown up trusting their teachers with a revised history given to them by this Trojan Horse communist invasion, starting with California, then spreading to the rest of the country behind victimization politics over a long period.  But I was alive before they learned to conceal their motives so carefully.  I remember when the Berlin Wall was up, and its politics were on the nightly news.  I also remember Cuba, how the Castro brothers took over a prospering country and turned it into a hell hole right off the coast of America.  It was a global military objective, and many of our people in America helped it destroy our economy and way of life from the inside out.  People these days taught by communists to conceal their natural history wouldn’t know better.  But I happened to have been alive and remember how it was.

East Berlin was set up after World War II to accommodate the Soviets, who were communists.  So, a similar political conflict between West Berlin and East Berlin during the 80s highlighted the global conflict poised to begin at any time.  People wanting to flee to the freedom of West Berlin were shot and killed for trying to get to freedom, just as people fled Cuba trying to get away from the Castro communism there.  By the way, Barack Obama and even Biden are very friendly with the Castro’s.  Or they were, anyway.  When we hear so much about Nelson Mandela in South Africa, he was a communist.  When we hear about China, it’s all communist.  When we hear about the Palestinians, they are all Marxists, which is worse than communism.  The Iranian revolution was all Marxist.  And instead of Europe turning to the West, as in the example of West Berlin, they turned to socialism, as represented by the modern European Union.  Of course, the United Nations is handled by known socialists.  An open socialist runs Canada.  So is Mexico.  They don’t talk about that on the nightly news, but Kamala Harris is the candidate for the Marxist global enterprise.  East Berlin was their mode of operation, clearly showing their conflict with the rest of the world.  So, of course, the Harris campaign behaved as East Berlin did at the height of their power.  They maintained complete control of their political narrative, and part of their enforcement was to keep people from escaping their terror and learning about the outside world by climbing over the Berlin Wall to escape.

This is why Kamala Harris cannot do live events or answer media questions.  And since much of the media leans toward Marxism by nature of being leftists, they don’t want to push Kamala too hard so as not to expose her.  They all hope to see America surprised by this soft sell of communism poised by the Harris campaign for a brutal leftist takeover of the American political system.   Not to hide communism anymore but to unleash it and overtake our system and convert it over to what China has as a political system today.  When we talk about left-winged politics, we are talking about China-style communism.  It’s what our teachers teach in school, so many people think that’s the way to go.  But they have lost touch with history, with the killings at the Berlin Wall, and the significance of that wall to begin with after World War II and the Allied Powers led by the newly created United Nations divided up the spoils of Germany as represented by that city.  But they got away with it by never discussing what they were really up to.  And that’s why Kamala Harris can’t answer any questions in public.  And is also her greatest weakness.  She hopes to hide who she is by not answering questions, as do her supporters and puppet masters of global politics.  But her campaign represents nothing less than a communist insurrection.  It didn’t just start with the demise of Biden but has been brewing in the background since before Barack Obama hit the scene.  And they have been careful and manipulative.  But in 2024, out of desperation, they are making their long-planned move.  And they hope the media will be able to give them cover fire for an outright communist insurrection.  Yet their old tricks of denying that they are communists have expired.  History shows their footsteps, and they can no longer hide the truth about their movement.  But when everyone wonders why Kamala Harris can’t answer questions from the press, it’s because they are trying to sneak communism under the door, and nobody will notice until it’s too late.  But they have been discovered well in advance.

Getting Rid of the Departments of Uselessness: Neil Gorsuch’s new book and the need to get rid of too many rules and regulations

I usually don’t learn much from mainstreamers, and Niel Gorsuch from our current Supreme Court is undoubtedly a mainstream kind of guy.  When he wrote a new book that came out at the beginning of August 2024, Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law, I wasn’t sure it was worth my time.  However, I am very concerned about legal issues these days, and there aren’t too many people with better authority on that subject than Gorsuch, as he is a reasonably recent President Trump pick for the Supreme Court.  So I wanted to hear what he had to say on the matter, hoping to get some unusual perspective because of who he is.  And I was more than a little impressed with Gorsuch’s book.    He is bringing up an important point that I think is the key to the future for at least a decade or two, and that is the problem of over-regulation—a society with too many rules.  I would say that I have very intimate knowledge of regulatory environments; at this rate, they threaten to collapse society, not help it flourish.  I think the rule of law is crucial to human happiness and invention.  But the environment we have these days is a runaway train of bureaucratic lunacy that is bringing great harm to our society.  And Neil Gorsuch gets it, even for a mainstreamer.  I define mainstreamers as those who care about sports scores at BW3s.  Or are more concerned with taking their kids to soccer practice than the strategic future of human civilization.  Usually, mainstreamers don’t have much to say that I think is interesting, and I don’t spend much time talking to them.  I may be nice to them, but they have little to offer me.  I consume vast amounts of information every week, and usually, mainstreamers are too far behind the learning curve to be engaging in any way to me. 

However, this topic of over-regulation is good, and being a mainstreamer is a benefit in this case because it lets me know that general people are concerned about this issue, not just people on the fringe of society.  When discussing fringe people, we talk about people well outside the social norms.  The movie The Matrix refers to those types of people as Red Pillers, people who want the truth for the sake of the fact without all the mechanisms of comfort that are part of the social tapestry.  These kinds of people are more concerned with the effects of 5G information waves and how they might scramble the brain than going out of their way to be seen at little Timmy’s birthday party who happens to be a next-door neighbor of parents who just bought a new Tesla and thinks the world is coming to an end with climate change.  Many people are so worried about the dumb little things in life that they don’t have room for the big stuff, which is precisely how this horror of too much regulation came about in the first place.  We didn’t watch it grow with hands on the brakes, so now we have a society with so many laws that we are all probably breaking them just by getting out of bed in the morning.  Our legal system is supposed to be representative, where our elected officeholders create and maintain laws to serve our individual needs.  But we have ended up with many laws made by unelected bureaucrats who are personally terrified people who get through the power of government the ability to be in their minds significant, what I call the Mall Cop Syndrome. 

President Trump’s policy on regulation, which stipulated that for every new regulation created, the government had to eliminate two, was a step in the right direction. This policy was successful, and the immediate stimulation of our economy was noticeable.  The Trump years were good for our society’s growth and undoubtedly beneficial to the concept of Making America Great Again.  One of the critical features of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, is that risk is the essential ingredient to economic growth, so the kind of people who manage risk well and are very attracted to risk tend to be very successful and create the most jobs for people who are not so inclined.  So you want a society that encourages risk by those most inclined to it but limits people from becoming tyrants over others who are more mainstream and less inclined to risky lives and hazardous behavior.  You want to encourage risk, not discourage it.  And the way the government has grown over the last few decades of globalism that seeks to hide risk behind the power of ever more government expansion, then you end up with the condition we have now, which is too much law and regulation being created by too many people for all the wrong reasons.  We have too many Departments of Uselessness that need to be eliminated, defunded, and have their rules and regulations go with them into oblivion.  Because they are not suitable for us, which is the essential point of Neil Gorsuch’s book Over Ruled, we must start over with what we expect the government to do for us in many respects.  If elected representatives do not manage our rules and regulations, then we must eliminate them as a matter of practice.

We saw the attempt, which continues to be the mode of conduct from the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, to use experts to manage our society.  In the case of America, we had our Doctor Doom—Dr. Fauci regarding Covid.  Some people, mainly on the Democrat side of thinking, wanted to believe that members of the expert class could and should have our best interests in mind when they create new rules on the back of a napkin as they did with social distancing mandates, air travel restrictions, and mask-wearing policy.  And that we were all supposed to obey them without question.  The quest for power that gives members of these government agencies, such as the Department of Health, so much control over their peers was too tempting not to abuse, and we saw that nightmare scenario clearly during the COVID crisis.  The assumption was that these global experts had legislative power over our American law and order under Constitutional consideration.  When pressed through the lens of American courts, Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates seemed perplexed that people were even arguing Constitutional limits on experts-created laws we were all supposed to follow.  But of course, once challenged, all the silly rules that global bureaucrats were issuing were not Constitutionally viable, and they were losing in court, as they will continue to.  But under those policies are many hundreds of thousands of others just as ridiculous, and a lack of simplicity weighs down our court system, causing the cost of all those silly rules to rob our economy many trillions of lost revenue by lost opportunity cost.  If we want to save our society from collapsing under the weight of the timid Mall Cop types who wish to use the power of government to do what they do not dare to do themselves because they are afraid of too much risk, then we need to go in the other direction, toward deregulation as much as possible. In that case, we will massively deregulate, allowing only elected officials to create our society’s laws.  The unelected experts of the world have nearly destroyed our very existence, and now that we’ve learned our lesson, it’s time to give them something else to do.

Kamala Harris and Her Communist Democrats: Trying to escape the burden of what has been

One of the important things that Kamala Harris says repeatably in her public appearances is “what can be, unburdened by what has been.”  It is her most consistent statement and is the essential political platform of “progressives.”  They want change from their present condition, into what “can be.”  Usually, that consists of bad decisions that they have made and allows them to erase the implications of failure and replace it with some form of comfortable group acceptance. What Kamala is talking about is the summary of the Karl Marx book, The Communist Manifesto and has been the mantra of those types of people for well over a century now. Yet, in the most successful country in the world, which has empowered the most people over the longest period, why would we want all this change? Because what she is saying is that she and her kind want to change from the best country to the worst. That is what Barack Obama’s Hope and Change always was essentially, the hope of the communists of the world that America would change its practices and become just as bad as everyone else. When you are a loser, as Kamala Harris clearly has been, and made terrible decisions in life that are embarrassing, of course you would not want to be burdened with that memory for the rest of your life. So, for Democrats, this idea of not being burdened by what has been, is a chance to reinvent themselves away from all their mistakes. And that is what we are up against with the global Marxists, which Kamala Harris is their clear representative. What she is talking about in her radical political platform is an appeal to the losers of the world to hit a great reset and tear away the standards of success, so that she can make way for that unburdened judgment of social norms, such as not having reckless sex, and aborting the child as a result so that they can be unburdened from their mistakes.  Or using drugs to become unburdened by the impact of reality. Or going on welfare to be unburdened by the pressure of a need to produce income to support your family. That is the world of Kamala Harris and her Democrats of Doom in America.

It was not always easy for people to admit that there was a communist party platform in America that was seeking to undo all our lives. We always thought that the threat of invasion would be as it was presented in movies about war, such as The Longest Day with John Wayne. Or Red Dawn. But I have warned for years that much of what the Democrat party does is communist. And there has never been such an overt communist running for office than Kamala Harris and her VP pick the China loving Tim Walz. And yes, he loves China and has quite a long history with the communist country. These are not our friendly neighbors. These are hostile insurgents seeking to undo the American way of life, which is to say, a successful life of liberty and happiness for which we are all entitled to pursue under the freedom of self-assertion. I can say that I have seen a lot of stuff. And recently as part of an experience on a grand jury, I can say that I have seen a grotesque underbelly of what is really going on in society, and I will have a lot to say about it. But my opinions do not come from a vacuum of experiencing the world from the safety of my own peer groups. I have always stepped out of that comfort zone looking for added information and I can say that I have seen the worst of what people can do.

Sadly, I have always loved Middletown, Ohio, where J.D. Vance is from. It is a shame what has happened to it. But it is what happens to cities that end up with leadership like what Kamala Harris proposes, where too much communism is brought in to manage what used to be a thriving community. In the case of Middletown, diversity was brought in where shared values were not normalized. And the well-paying jobs of their economy were shipped away through policy to the needs of globalism. And what’s left is an entire community that cannot go on vacation without the burdens of society wanting to accept people taking over your home. I can say that I have seen a multitude of examples in just Middletown of the worst that people can do to each other where social collapse has happened as a direct result of communist policy hidden behind the political party of Democrats. And there are homes where drug use is as common as eating cereal for breakfast. People come and go from these homes wondering aimlessly through life and they seek drugs to bury their pains of horrendous decisions made through life in great abundance. And the weight of their bad decisions, unpaid for, brings the world around them into a landscape of misery. That is precisely what Kamala Harris, who has been a drug user herself, means when she wants to be unburdened from the past to make way for what can be. Whenever a society is running from their past where they did not achieve success due to bad decisions, you end up with a result of failure compounded because behavior was never inspired to change for the better. They just ran from the results of their failure, which never fixes anything.

What Democrats leave in their wake is the kind of nightmares that you see in high crime areas, what Democrats have essentially done to California, and communities like Middletown, Ohio. The way people who seek to unburden themselves from the mistakes of the past live is incredibly detrimental and the world would be shocked if forced to look at it for too long. It is one thing to hear about sad things going on in the world, its quite another to see and hear the details of a criminal underbelly that is the net result of lives lived under the mantra that Kamala Harris is uttering for the entire country. To be unburdened by the past to make way for what can be. She is not talking about success, because America has been successful with the most opportunities for the most people that there are in the world. Rather, Democrats want people to fail in life, because their entire platform is to replace that failure with the stolen redistribution of value that they use the government to steal from good people, and to give to desperate people who have lived their lives in horrible ways. And they seek to spread their influence on every corner of the globe with communism, because through shared guilt and penalty, the burden of a life lived poorly can be shared, so that those most guilty don’t have to be crushed by the burden of bad decisions for the rest of their lives.  Kamala Harris and her communist Democrats want people to make mistakes because she is offering redemption from those errors which then gives centralized government more power. And a world of individuality is destroyed as a result, which is the change that communists want to evoke in the world, especially in America.

Mind Control Discouraging Voters Away From Trump: Don’t always assume your thoughts are your own

I’ve been doing this stuff for a very long time.  And it has only been in the last several weeks, I have heard some of the very organized talk about not voting in the upcoming election, hoping to discourage people from full engagement in the 2024 election.  It has always been the case that a few people here and there were frustrated with the voting process and didn’t like their options, so they would not be excited to vote and would stay home on election night.  And we all know that Democrats pushing communist causes want every mind-numb derelict to vote and vote often.  Because without election fraud, Democrats can’t win.  So they look to open the door to every disenfranchised person there is out there by extending the days you can vote, and by every means necessary because they want every opportunity to get a vote in their favor no matter where they come from.  So, with all that said, it is interesting that there has been so much talk thrown my way by people claiming that they aren’t going to vote in 2024 because they are just so frustrated with the process that they are giving up.  I don’t think it’s an accident but more of a strategy, and the science of frustrating people into or away from something is more well-known than many think.  And the bad guys out there are certainly willing to utilize such sinister methods for their cause.  And by the way people are talking; I don’t think they are all that aware of it.  Here in 2024, Republicans all up and down the ticket from Trump in the White House are poised to win everywhere.  So if Democrats can’t cheat, or rather more specifically, the Deep State can’t control elections as they have in the past, then what methods would they turn to to preserve their grips on power?  Lower voter engagement. 

Years ago, I wrote a book called The Symposium of Justice that featured a plotline of a massive globalist system of government called “The System” that controlled people through radio signals in water towers, which stimulated the pituitary gland in human beings into impulse decision-making.  It was a science fiction plot that has since been fully explored in various conspiracy theories, such as contrails, fluoride in the water, and even very manipulative subliminal messaging.  Lately the belief that 5G service is doing much of what I talked about from that book I wrote 20 years ago is happening as we speak.  The classic John Carpenter movie They Live comes to mind.  I wrote my book based on my experiences in life, so for me, it wasn’t quite science fiction but a more stated, factual summary of a complex, multi-dimensional problem of life influences that are not always four-dimensional terrestrial.  We have many dimensions of life forms that interact with us all the time, and we may not always understand them based on the reality of our current senses.  I have to remind people that the radio waves you hear in your car radio, or whatever device, have unrivaled messaging in it through your interaction unit.  But we really don’t understand how the human brain picks up signals, or not.  Yet they are passing through us and around us all the time.  Even the wireless internet you use to get this message is passing through the air, going through people without hesitation.  And our world is flooded with signals and messaging that can and does impact our sanity levels.  Some people can filter out all the noise.  Some people have their minds collapse, especially under conditions of intoxication or drug impairment.  What might seem like a utopian hallucination could very well be the same demonic entities that the blood sacrifices from the land of Canaan were killing their firstborn children to in order to appease them and their lunacy. They were brought to us through the corridors of time on the backs of insanity and speculation. 

But more than that, I also know from personal experience that advertising and public relations work is intended to uncover your intellectual resistance to persuasion for the effects of convincing you to do things you otherwise wouldn’t do.  How a font is presented and what color schemes are used for advertising are known sciences that intend to manipulate people into action.  The way something looks, sounds, and behaves can have a dramatic impact on our decision-making.  Even just browsing the internet, those advertisements that appear in your sidebar and email are meant to push you into pursuing something intended just for you.  Not a mass audience.  Now, with Artificial Intelligence, there are massive databases that know everywhere your eyes have been looking on the internet, so they know what you like and dislike for specificity in directing products and services to you as much as possible.  The only time you can escape it is to turn off the computer as much as possible and get away from all the signals carrying messages, whether they are from the internet or radio waves broadcast in the traditional way.  Of course, the CIA understands all this and has for a long time; usually, when we talk about them, it’s the MK-Ultra programs that involve some level of mind control.  But can they get people to do what they want without people realizing that the voices in their heads are coming from some human manipulator or even an A.I. source?  Of course, they can, and they do it often.  Very often. 

So when I see that a lot of people, many more than usual, profess that they are sitting out on this election this time because they are too tired and don’t feel enough passion to cast a vote, I would warn them that their opinion is a strategy, not coming from them, but from the enemy.  I would say that such people are victims of manipulation overdose, and they have lost their defense mechanisms to such intentions.  But you better believe it’s happening, and it’s occurring because the bad guys of the world know that Trump is poised to win this election, and their best hope to cheat in this one is to convince people to have less engagement as voters.  In the last election, Trump had 75 million voters, and that was after a massive effort to destroy votes for him by various means.  The real number is likely much, much, higher.  And to the control freaks of the world, we have seen some of their work recently in Great Britain and the despots in the European Union who are just now learning that the United States has a Constitution that prevents them from tampering with American affairs.  The last thing they want is an even more decentralized government with Trump back in the White House.  So they are hard at work using every means available to them, through international banking and corporate influence, to discourage you from voting in this election.  And yes, it is a massive plot of conspiracy.  And while you come to terms with all that, remember that these are not new tactics.  I wrote my book when I did and about what so that people could start thinking about why they believe what they do.  People assume that their thoughts are their own and are private.  But my experience says otherwise.  And people are more manipulated into foolish behavior than they are willing to admit.  And those manipulating are good at their task because people assume that none of it is possible.  But remember, be careful of your thoughts; they are not always yours.  And when those thoughts tell you not to vote for your own good, you must override those anxieties with logic and make sure to vote anyway because your life depends on it—especially this year.

The Fake Kamala Harris Campaign: Getting caught using AI to look more like Trump

One thing about communist cultures, no matter where they are, is that they always must resort to copying their competition because they don’t have any fundamental ideas of their own.  That’s certainly how it is in China, and that is certainly what’s happening with the Kamala Harris campaign.  That has been the joke recently with Kamala Harris essentially trying to steal all of Trump’s political platforms to escape her dismal past, especially in regard to No Tax on Tips.  But it was pretty audacious when the Harris campaign tried to launch a few campaign events in Wisconsin, and they got caught trying to hide her actual numbers of public support.  I don’t know what they were thinking.  Did they think people wouldn’t notice in this day and age?  But they got caught using AI to try and make her crowds look bigger.  To look more like President Trump’s crowds, especially in Wisconsin and Las Vegas.  There were several methods used, but the bottom line was that to make the crowds look bigger, they used AI to fill in the vast gaps where there weren’t any people.  And especially at that airport rally in Wisconsin, there were no reflections of people in the plane’s paint, where the photo showed a sea of people for as far as the eye could see.  It looked like a Trump rally, but we were supposed to believe that it was massive support for Harris.  It looked good at first, but they got caught, and now the story of Harris is that she is a copycat with no new ideas of her own, and that’s not going to be enough to move the needle for Democrats.  And this is the best that they are going to do.  It will never get better from here.

So, in the news flash, there were thousands of people who knew those photos were fake, including the Kamala Harris campaign itself, and they put them out anyway as a fact.  Well, now you can see what they did with the election of 2020; that was fake, with fake votes closing the gap between reality and fantasy in just the same fashion.  And many of these polls that we are seeing with Harris surging out in front of Trump are just as fake and by the same type of methods.  We have a very organized effort to hide reality, to win people over because they think we are all stupid.  They know they can’t win honestly, so they aren’t even trying now.  When in doubt, they are turning to technology to push them over the top, which is what AI can do these days so easily.  But you can’t fake the real thing, where people wait for days to see a Trump rally.  Harris doesn’t have anything close to that kind of support because she and Biden were put in office by completely fake pretense.  The attempt to sell away doctored-up pictures as a reality is where it really gets embarrassing.  When people like me have been saying all that I have about how Democrats perform election fraud, and even how the liberal media conducts polling to make lipstick on a pig look appealing.  They still can’t get past their communist problem of propaganda that free people will consume on their own volition.  It is their only option, and it’s not very good.  The cracks in the walls showed when they pushed Joe Biden aside due to his age and tried to slide Kamala Harris under the door and prop her up with complete propaganda that they couldn’t sustain with reality.  And they really thought that was their best option.

You are the leader when you are copied, which Trump is the standard now in politics.  You are the one to beat.  I always tell people my story about the gunfighter at the bar with his back to the room.  That’s the same thing here; when you are Trump, you don’t look at what other people are doing.  You do your thing and let all the copycats chase after you.  Even with this copycat scandal of AI-generated images, and you can do the same with video these days, Trump did a Spaces interview on “X” with Elon Musk that went on for hours, talking about various topics.  Kamala Harris could never do that, because she doesn’t really have anything on her mind.  She’s a fake in every way that a person can be fake.  And this idea that a person lacking authenticity can project their way into high office without merit or scrutiny is a thing of the past.  It worked back when people trusted each other more.  When people were in Elks memberships or belonged to Masonic lodges as extensions of their community presence.  Or went to church on Sunday.  When there was some foundation of trust to work with, people were more vulnerable to exploitations of that trust.  But these days, with all those social elements letting us down, people spot quickly a fraud, and Harris got caught right out of the gate.  And what’s worse, that was her entire campaign strategy.  If they can’t manipulate the images, she has no chance; she can’t give speeches.  She can’t talk to reporters.  She can’t interact with anybody off-script.  The people behind Harris believe she can be completely propped up and driven into office by the choice of a mass population because they think so little of people that they don’t think authenticity is part of the process.  Obviously, it is.

Harris has such a bad past with so many radical leftist policies that she is running from all those now trying to sell essentially a Trump platform just to get elected.  She has switched her positions on economics, border security, and even regulatory policy.  She is not talking about wild lefty ideas now because they know people are supporting Trump.  So, like the AI photos of her rallies, her fake poll numbers, and the fake enthusiasm for her Democrat base, they are trying to steal Trump’s policy ideas to hide her own radical past, hoping just enough people are suckered into voting for her.  But when you look at the polling crosstabs, all Democrats have big problems.  And they won’t be able to fake their way out of it.  Like the lessons of all communist countries who have run into this same problem, there is no way for Kamala Harris to hide reality.  The arrogance of even trying is audacious enough.  It’s all they have.  And remember, we have had the last four years of a bad economy because people were suckered into believing that Biden and Harris were elected correctly.  The same effort that has been putting out these fake pictures and policy positions are the same people who told you that electronic voting machines could be trusted and mail-in ballots validated and that we could trust those counting implicitly.  Somehow, in a free culture, they thought nobody would ever find out.  Which is why the First Amendment is so important.  With people having the ability to scrutinize others, we have a communist assumption that is falling on its face, just as it has everywhere else in the world where it has been tried.  And that Democrats have tried to copy the enthusiasm for Trump in their campaigns tells you all you need to know about reality.  AI can’t change people’s minds.  It can just trick you into thinking the truth you are seeing is authentic.  And when people figure out it isn’t, the wheels come off quickly, as it is now for Harris.

The Armor of God: Facing danger with coolness and tenacity

In many ways, it was a gift to President Trump to have that assassin attempt to kill him.  Watching him in that rally in Montana, it’s good to see Trump having fun with the issue instead of doing what globalists have been trying to advocate in our culture for a long time now.  This ridiculous Beta male approach to problems, crying about their feelings and destroying the concept of masculinity, to surrender to some child-like dependence on the government to be a perpetual parent has not been good.  As a man, it feels good to face a bullet and an attempt on your life from those who are jealous of you and want to destroy you.  Trump has spent his life building a tough guy image, and he has been challenged in business, of course, and has survived many things that have made him very successful.  But until death has come knocking on your door the way it did in Butler, Pennsylvania, you never really know how you will deal with it.  It’s a similar anxiety that young boys face when they worry about how they will do in their first fight.  And yes, that is a genuine problem for boys.  Girls don’t have those same challenges.  They have other challenges, but winning fights is something that young men worry about a lot.  And men worry even more about facing death with boldness.  And Trump, after a lifetime of building his tough-guy brand, was given the ultimate test with an assassin’s bullet.  And he passed, surviving and throwing his fists in the air triumphantly.  He will go down in history with some of the greatest presidents who have survived such a thing, which positions him well for the kind of leadership most needed now.

One of the things that made General Grant such a great battlefield commander was his coolness under fire.  All through the Civil War, he rode his horse through gunfire with projectiles flashing all around him, cannon fire nearly missing his head by inches, and surviving detriments that would have killed most people.  The Union Army won the Civil War because of General Grant’s tenacity and coolness under fire.  The same could be said of General George Washington, who had displayed similar traits of boldness on the battlefield, especially early in his life during the French and Indian War at Fort Duquesne, also in Pennsylvania.  Then, President Jackson engaged in many duels that could have killed him many times.  He was shot at and hit many times, sometimes to the point of nearly being killed.  And I think of Teddy Roosevelt, who wanted to go to Cuba with the Rough Riders to have an opportunity to shoot another man and to be shot at. It was very important to him to test his valor or to be killed doing it.  Later in life, after his first eight years as president, he was running for president again and was shot by an assassin.  He finished his whole speech before seeking treatment.  This is the kind of behavior that men endeavor to be in.  And I understand it very well.  I have lived my life in such a way. I have had many guns pointed at me and I know what bullets feel like as they pass near you.  And yes, it’s a great feeling to survive those occasions, better than life itself.  It’s even better to know that you can be calm under the pressure of fire and face death boldly.  You don’t feel like you’re living like a man until you do that a few times. 

It is essentially the problem that the Israelites had when God told them to leave the wilderness and attack the Promised Land, the land of Canaan, which is still a point of contention.  At first, the spies seeking a path into battle saw that Canaan was filled with giants, and they refused to attack because they feared what might happen to them against such a superior force.  So they turned away from the task as cowards.  And God punished them with 40 years in exile until a new generation would head into battle with the trust that God had their back.  That is expected in America, with masculinity displayed among the best of our leaders.  They did so when given the opportunity to put on the Armor of God and fight in the face of death boldly.  Washington did, Jackson, Grant, Teddy Roosevelt, Reagan, and now Trump.  By not cowering in fear, which is the point of the exile story in the Bible of the Hebrew people, it points to an alignment toward God’s purposes, and a trust that you are there to do his work.  And you are not afraid for your own preservation.  Because God has your back.  For Trump, surviving that bullet gave him the assurance he needed to know that he was on the right path and that he dared to stand up to it.  And I’m sure he slept very well that night and ever since.  Because those are the fundamental rules of the universe.  Not this woke garbage of manhood that the progressive, communist, left has been trying to sell to the world.  For all the same reasons, Israel turned away from the challenge of attacking the land of Canaan the first time when God told them to. 

Behind a coward is to say that a person, especially a man, did not trust to put on the Armor of God and proceed with destiny boldly and without fear.  We should not be afraid because to fear is to say that you do not trust that God is with you and will let you perish before you accomplish your task of divine intervention.  The gunslingers of history, leaders such as Grant, Washington, and Jackson, threw caution to the wind often and faced down gunfire without blinking an eye for self-preservation.  We love the stories of Wyatt Earp and the OK Corral because he faced gunfire without fear and brought justice to the bad guys.  That’s why we like stories of Wild Bill Hickok, who often was the last to shoot in a gun duel but was the one who hit his target cooly and under tremendous pressure.  We don’t like men who cry like babies when danger is near.  Or who looks at their mother’s skirt for shelter from danger?  Or to a skirt of mother government.  We like bold, unshakable men, who will look down a bullet without fear and know that their destiny is in boldness.  And that they can face down fear without reservation and show great tenacity when challenges come knocking at their door.  They don’t sip on lattes and eat pastries when trouble shows itself.  They meet those challenges with courage and persistence.  The way that Trump did at Butler, Pennsylvania.  And in many ways, he shook off a dark cloud hanging over America for many years.  God’s plan was working; he trusted in it, and many people witnessed it in a way that would bring us all out of exile and meet the danger before us in ways that the world has never seen.  And when it’s over, we’ll all feel better about our place in history.

The Gift of Debbie Lang: Americana to fill the hearts of free people crawling across the finish line of a tough political period

The flag at the GOP tent during the VOA Country Music Festival of 2024
Big stuff at a wonderfully patriotic night in Butler County, Ohio
This is the map of the election as it stands in August of 2024. The media wants everyone to think Harris has a better chance. She doesn’t have a path to victory.

I know there are a lot of scared people out there, and they are apprehensive about Kamala Harris and the Democrats of Doom.  And I keep telling people the truth behind the scenes so they don’t have to worry.  Yet, there is danger in that because while you’re trying to make everyone feel assured, you might take the energy out of the need we all have for them to show up and vote, to make this upcoming election too big to rig.  Most people live their lives daily and hope some decent people end up in the office to tend to their affairs.  But I am more than just a little involved in how things go on behind the scenes, and even I get a little tired of the constant pressure always to overcome some tyrant trying to take over the world, or as we have in the case of the Kamala Harris campaign, many tyrants who want communist all over the world to destroy our country and everything it stands for.  So I get a lot out of events like in West Chester, Ohio, in August of 2024 because it was undoubtedly a recharge as we head into these final days of the 2024 season.  Politics is complex, and it is a blood sport.  It’s tough to go out and raise money for all it takes to run for office and still be authentic to yourself and your promises to voters.  And it’s even more challenging when you have Central Committee appeasements to make, and you are in a primary with other Republicans running for the same office.  Things can get a little hot.  But let me just say this: it has been a challenging period from the time that Trump left the White House and the terror of a communist invasion into all our lives from the impending Biden administration, which Kamala Harris was a created sleeper cell terrorist nurtured along in that environment.  But I was very proud to see so many Butler County Republicans, several from Warren County, and many other places from all over the state, come together under a giant American flag to lead the way during the VOA Country Music Festival, where the entire weekend was packed with top musical artists putting on their best show to a massive crowd hungry for patriotism under the flag of the red, white and blue.

Thomas Hall, Matt Huffman, and Adam Mathews
The front of the GOP tent for Butler County. A foundation for the entire country.

I am unusually patriotic regarding the VOA park, where the Voice of America radio towers once stood.  As a kid, I could see them from my front yard about five or six miles west, and I loved that they broadcast American ideas to the world meant to topple communism and tyranny wherever they put their initiative forth.  Still, if truth be told, I go to the VOA Park almost every day for lunch and have read countless books on its park benches.  It has been my base of operations for this blog site for many years now, including right after Trump was removed from office, and I read from the Cleon Skousen book The Naked Communist the plots of what was happening in the world from a bench there in the park.  Running this blog from the VOA Park essentially was my way of keeping the spirit of that place alive for continued vigilance.  So I did not need much convincing to be invited to attend a GOP event under a nice airconditioned tent in the VIP area of such a magnificent occurrence.  At one end of a massive concert venue was the old broadcast building, which is now a wonderful museum where people can learn all there is to know about the magnificent Voice of America.  However, at the other end, where over 20,000 people had filled the space, was a large stage for several top country music acts that turned out to be an extraordinary reverence of Americana at its absolute best.  And I had a glimpse of what Making America Great Again could look like after these last several decades of political hell. 

The GOP tent attached to VIP access to the main stage
A great way to see everything behind the scenes and good people hard at work

To get a feel for the quality of the event, I have included lots of videos and pictures for those who didn’t get that opportunity to give people an idea of just how good the Butler County Republican Party is and the people in it who make everything happen.  Any disputes that we may have had during the primary season are now behind everyone.  The GOP tent was under a giant American flag hanging high with a spotlight on it all night.  I was there well past midnight, and that flag never stopped flying, and in the end, that’s what everyone at that event, and specifically under that flag in the Butler County GOP tent, were fighting for and fighting in every way that people have fought for that flag since its creation.  And I can say to everyone who is wondering.  Are the members of the GOP as committed to the cause of preserving American freedom as the people outside that VIP area who were there to watch great country music performances under a setting sun umbrellaed by a magnificent starry sky?  The answer is yes.  I spent the entire evening talking to almost everyone, and I can report that their heart is in it to win it, and the goal of their existence is to Make America Great Again with a second Trump presidency that is right there for us to win and benefit from. 

A very large crowd under a setting sun
MAGA America is growing. These are not Kamala voters

I’m not going to lie; I certainly do love George and Debbie Lang, who were the hosts of the Butler County GOP experience at the VOA Country Music Festival.  If Debbie asked me to be a part of anything, I would do it because it’s her and I think a lot of her family.  They are just good people, and the public doesn’t get to see them the way I do.  So, the public might not understand.  Our friendship started when George was going through a phony perjury trial due to his relationship with John Boehner during his Speaker of the House period.  George was targeted as a way to get to Boehner, and I thought George was tough through the whole experience.  He stood tough when most Republicans hadn’t learned how to yet.  So, I have had a great relationship with the Langs out of that respect for many years now.  And George gave an excellent speech at the tent that I think people will benefit from and I wanted to share it.  I included many others from people many voters may not get a chance to see without the fancy politics masking who they are, as everyday people are just as concerned about tomorrow as everyone else.  George wasn’t lost on the significance of the Voice of America, and his wife Debbie understood it, too.  And they put on a fantastic event that restored the spirit of many people as they were struggling to gasp for a bit more air ahead of a finish line in Ohio that would set a course for the rest of the country in the years to come.  I took a minute in the ambitions of the evening to stand under that big flag in the comfort of the VIP area because you could get away from the crowd a bit to think, and I could see clearly what we had all been fighting for.  Sheriff Jones was there and feeling it, too, and I had a chance to catch up to him before he went onto the big stage to address the crowd with some patriotic flair that everyone was hungry for.  And I could see victory for everyone coming in a way that we could only dream of a few years ago.  Yet there it was, right in front of our face, for us to grab and take to preserve the future.  And it took a lot of vision and tenacity to capture it in a bottle for all to see, which is a unique gift that Debbie Lang has.  She has been through a lot with her husband, and that they can host such an event with all that stood in the way was truly magnificent and worth the most challenging endeavors that could only be unleashed under a free people fighting to keep that American flag held high, for all to see as it was epically at the VOA Country Music Festival in Butler County, Ohio in August of 2024—a benchmark in American history.

We went on until after midnight. Talked to a lot of good people about many positive things coming in the months to come
