‘Bulletproof’: Yes, we have a government that is willing to kill and do whatever it takes to stay in power

Jack Posobiec and his writing partner Joshua Lisec had already written one excellent book this year in Unhumans, and they were actively promoting it when the tragedy of July 13th occurred, and an assassin, a young kid, tried to kill President Trump at the now famous Butler Pennsylvania Rally.  There was a lot that instantly didn’t add up, so Jack and Joshua went instantly to write another book, Bullet Proof: The Truth About the Assassination Attempts on Donald Trump, and they rushed it to market so that voters would have an opportunity to read it before the 2024 election.  And I think everyone should read it, because what we see in Bullet Proof is the revelation of a massive crime, and a government that is criminally out of control.  There is next to no chance that the shooter, Thomas Crooks, quietly left his retirement home job and just decided one day to kill an American president with almost no social media footprint, had appeared in a BlackRock commercial, and had electronic devices that were communicating with characters all over the world.  And the chances that the Secret Service, the local police, and Homeland Security, in general, would make such a string of baffling Three Stooges-level errors that allowed the kid to climb onto a nearby roof and take shots at Trump during a rally that, thankfully missed.  But did hit members of the audience seriously, injuring them and killing one.  Crooks had help, as the book Bulletproof demonstrates.  The book is a remarkable benchmark in history that gets to the point quickly, which was why these guys rushed it to market.  A crime had been committed, a purposeful murder, and the attitude behind it was revealed in Joe Biden just days before the election when he called over 74 million Trump supporters “garbage” in frustration over how poorly Democrats were doing up and down the ticket.  And to get rid of Trump and that garbage, they used the power of government to kill and destroy whoever kept them from returning to power, which is a genuine concern we all must have once it becomes apparent just how terrible some of these people in government are.

Bulletproof is one of those books that tells a story very few want to admit to. Still, because of the not-so-recent Kennedy assassination, we knew which questions to ask immediately after the attempted Trump assassinations. There is a pattern of influence that quickly emerges, which is why President Trump is now planning to release the report on the Kennedy assassination.  Yes, the CIA was involved, and people need to know how their government behaves.  And the people who have done wrong need to be punished, especially in this recent case from Butler, Pennsylvania.  There will be a lot of crying and whining about fairness and unfairness in the coming months.  But when we hear it, understand that the noise is coming from the kind of people who openly tried to kill Trump supporters during the 2024 election and threw in jail those who stood against them.  So now we have irrefutable evidence of just how bad they are.  Bulletproof, the book proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the attempted Trump assassinations were inside jobs, and we have seen this same kind of approach done in many cases, especially school shootings.   But the Las Vegas shooter comes to mind, as well as the San Bernadino terrorist attack on that Christmas party a few years back.  Returning to Kennedy and knowing what we do now about Nixon, you quickly realize that there is a long history of this government, with many different characters who have purposely plotted the destruction of our republic’s form of government.  And until we stop them, they’ll keep doing it. 

What’s unusual here is that it is just as likely that providence played a direct role in the Trump assassination attempt in preventing it.  Several extraordinary miracles occurred to have that .223 bullet barely graze the top of Trump’s ear at just such a moment that Trump moved his head in just such a way that allowed a miss to happen.  Otherwise, Crooks had a side of the head direct shot that would have essentially decapitated President Trump a few months ahead of the election.  The kind of public assassination we had just seen with Japan’s Shinzo Abe, who was killed ironically just two years before on July 8th of 2022.  And we saw in Brazil the president there, Jair Bolsonaro, stabbed in public in an attempt to kill him.  He survived, but then we went on to watch a criminal released from jail literally to become the new president in Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for the communists of South America put in place through massive election fraud there, as we have seen in many places in the world.  The pattern comes in the form of the dog whistle that speaks to lonely, and manipulative kids like Thomas Crooks to doing the work of the ruling thugs who hold government power, and that organizations like the CIA can manipulate these people into performing public assassinations.  It’s all part of a game of public manipulation where there is always a population sampling of radicals like the man who tried to kill Trump at his golf course in Florida, Ryan Wesley Routh, who are willing to throw their life away to perform some terrible task.  We have government people who want to hold aristocratic power all over the world and who have flourished as globalists, and they hide behind these acts of violence as isolated incidents when, in reality, they are far from isolated.  And because Trump is the kind of person he is, his force of personality exposed these people through their desperation to act.  They tried too hard and, in the process, revealed themselves, which Jack and Joshua captured nicely in their book.

This leaves us with only one choice; we have to put an end to these globalist governments and their rule over innocent, sovereign people, no matter where in the world they might reside.  Remember, many books provide irrefutable facts that Covid was a created bioweapon that was unleashed in Wuhan, China, for horrible intentions during an election year when the world was mad at Trump over his trade tariffs.  We are dealing with people in government at all levels and everywhere around the world who are perfectly fine with killing people who are in their way.  And we have to admit to ourselves before dealing with them correctly that those killers have no redeemable features.  And we must punish them and remove them from further danger.  We cannot kid ourselves and think that if we are nice to them and leave them alone, they won’t try to kill us and our elected representatives to get what they want.  Bulletproof the book is fantastic in that it reveals a significant crime quickly because there is such a history in the world that during this assassination attempt against Trump, it happened in front of too many people who witnessed it and knew to ask the right kind of questions before all the evidence went cold.  And wisely, Jack and Joshua gathered that evidence and put it in this fantastic book after a short sprint of challenging work that told the story before a primary election.  And nobody can read this book and walk away without a clear understanding of the forces we are dealing with.  It is an out-of-control, murderous government that uses human incompetence as a cover story for its truly destructive plans of global domination and easy money with mob-like control over capital markets.  And they want no challenge to their authority, no matter who it is.  And they do kill to stay in power.

Steve Bannon is Out of Jail: What happens next is the fault of those who put him there, they can only blame themselves

I’m just going to say it bluntly, I will never forgive the people who put Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in jail during the year of 2024.  The congress that threw them in jail with a corrupt Biden DOJ were obviously crooked, but what was done, purely for political reasons was the loss of freedom for people of a respectable Trump White House.  When Bannon and Navarro were thrown in jail after spending many tens of thousands of dollars defending themselves from a prosecution that was completely politically motivated, only to end up in the disgraceful loss of personal freedom that they had to endure for more than four months in jail.  Nobody had ever gone that far before and had always respected Executive immunity when it comes to administration business.  What Eric Holder and Lois Lerner had done previously, even Barack Obama, was far worse than what Steve Bannon did, or Peter Navarro.  But the Democrats went there, and so did many Republicans who showed to the world that they might not agree with it, but did little to nothing to stop it.  These members of Trump’s Executive White House team were good people and they were thrown in jail like dogs to have to lose personal privacy completely.  Going to jail is no small matter, going to the bathroom in front of people all the time without a door to close would be terrible, and to have to do it day after day after day.  There was no reason for it and the people who did it to them can never be forgiven.  And I personally never will.  I personally like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, and I think the only way to make things right in the world is to prosecute their prosecutors because they started it and abused the government for their own political purposes, and they have to be paid back.

I know the Trump campaign doesn’t need nor want to get pulled into a lot of controversy, they have an election to win.  But logic says that Trump is going to be back in the White House and when he is, a lot of bad people have to be punished for what they did.  If people didn’t want a revenge tour, they never should have started it.  As I keep saying to everyone who is asking me, if they want someone to blame for what is going to happen to them, they only need to look in the mirror.  Steve Bannan as of today is now out of jail, October 29th 2024, and I’m very glad to see it.  Nobody has suffered really more than the people at the Warroom, people like Grace Chong, Mareen Bannon, and Natalie Winters who have done what they good to keep the popular podcast going while Steve, the primary host, was doing time in jail.  They have put on a brave front, but it hurt them what happened to their friends, just because they happened to run the most popular political podcast in the United States.  Looking back over the last four years, what happened to people like Sidney Powell, General Flynn, Roger Stone and Rudy Giuliani has been disgraceful, and it was all done for purely political reasons, to use the power of government to destroy people who didn’t agree with the party in power.  Never forget the mug shots of the people in Georgia for which Trump was one, who were being prosecuted for questioning the results of the election there.  And nothing more.  Remember Jenna Ellis crying like a baby in front of a judge and turning on Trump to appease those powers that were in office when we talk about revenge in the coming months and years.   It’s not just that they started it and now we have to finish it, but if we want to have a great country we must have justice and people must be punished for the bad things they did.  They don’t get to point at Trump and declare that he’s going to put his critics in jail and prosecute his political enemies when it was they who started it.  They have to be punched in the face, at the very least.

I had quite a few friends who attended the RNC Convention this year in Wisconsin and they wanted to know who I wanted them to get pictures with, and my only real response was that I thought Peter Navarro getting out of jail and going straight to speak at the RNC was one of the most important themes of this election cycle.  There are a lot of things that need to be fixed, but this weaponization of government is the key to so many horrible things that we must rectify.  When we talk about the basic Bill of Rights, they were written because humans have a tendency to do these kinds of things to each other when they gain power, and at the core of all arguments about leadership and the role government plays in society is mitigating the failure of human beings who fall off the rocker.  We cannot have a big government with too much power that can use that power against us for their own profit.  And that is what happened at the very least to Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.  They were being forced to acknowledge a criminal government or be thrown in jail.  And to show that power over them and the general Warroom audience, they lost their freedom and were insulted with a lack of privacy.  It’s as bad as it gets aside from actually killing people.  And because the bad guys had to respect the law to some extent, they only managed to put Bannan and Navarro in jail for four months.  In other countries, they could have easily been killed.  This is exactly why we have a Second Amendment and free speech at the heart of all our law and order.  Because without those checks on government power, the government would be killing off their political rivals without fear of ever having the tables turn on them. 

It is too much to expect government to be honest.  And when people popularly elect an administration as they did with Trump and his team in the White House as Bannan and Navarro were and will be again, a government that attacks that pick of the people broke and  the law in the most fundamental way, they sought to override a government by the people for the people, and to change it into something else.  Something ominous and oppressive.  And I don’t want to hear the crying for all the paybacks that have to occur.  All those bad guys out there should thank God that so many people have been willing to turn to an election for their redemption and not grab guns and take to violence against their political enemies.  Of course, that threat is always looming in the background and it’s the only thing that keeps bad people honest.  People cannot be trusted to act on their own to do what’s right.  They must have the fear of personal destruction to keep them in check.  And in the case of what was done to the Trump team over the last four years, since the bad guys did go too far, is the tables have to be turned, otherwise there is no hope at justice for the years to come.  We cannot have a good country unless those who truly did wrong are punished.  And now that Steve Bannon is out, and the election is happening, what happens next must happen.  The bad guys are bad people for a reason.  And they cannot molest our society without consequences, and the fault for that is entirely on their shoulders.  They did it to themselves.

The Epic Joe Rogan Interview with President Trump: Dreaming big again

I am very proud of President Trump.  Many people around him, including Elon Musk and Melania, for her fantastic entry into Madison Square Garden on the 27th of October, showed their best selves as a result of a fantastic campaign by Trump at the close of the 2024 election season.  That’s how you win, and it starts with effort.  And nobody in the history of the world, looking back, or forward will ever perform what President Trump has over these last four years.  Talk about resiliency.  He has made me very proud and has set a standard that will never be forgotten.  And even though the campaign still has a week or so, what the Trump campaign did at Madison Square Garden was epic and unforgettable.  It was astonishingly good.  However, that wasn’t the most significant thing that Trump could have done to secure his domination in this election cycle.  It was the Joe Rogan Podcast from that previous Friday, October 25th, 2024 where Trump sat down with the hottest podcast in the nation and just talked for three hours straight with no interruptions, no breaks, no notes.  Trump just sat down and spoke to Joe Rogan unscripted for three hours, something very few people could have done.  And Trump was fantastic.  When you add it all up, the week leading up to that podcast, then what was done at Madison Square Garden in New York City, of all places, for a Republican to campaign in what is considered forbidden territory, the sum of it was just jaw-dropping.   Talk about a guy who likes to win and has done everything to do so.  And even those hardened to him couldn’t help but admire the effort.  I think we aren’t just talking about a win with this effort against Kamala Harris, but Trump is playing to have the biggest win in the history of elections, including the dominating win Reagan had over Mondale in 1984. 

Leading up to the Madison Square Garden rally, I was at Kings Island with my family, and specifically, as I reviewed the clips from the Joe Rogan Podcast, I had a fascinating conversation with one of my grandchildren, who is 12.  I was about his age in 1984 when Reagan won in a landslide, and it had a feeling about it, like what we see today with Trump.  Only Reagan didn’t go through nearly what Trump has.  I am excited for my grandchildren, and I was able to explain to him that if everything goes well with this election on November 5th, and we have every reason in the world to believe it will, there is an opportunity for magnificent growth in America that is more than just a little bit, well deserved.  A few short months ago, I didn’t think there was a chance Elon Musk and President Trump would ever do anything together, so having the world’s richest man directly connected to Trump is a massive boost because, as fair or unfair as it is, Musk has brought an enthusiasm that people like George Soros and Jeff Bezos have applied negatively.  Elon Musk has become very effective, and Trump has earned that respect by surviving that assassin’s bullet.  A few months later, I watched this Joe Rogan Podcast as it occurred and listened in wonderment.  There were so many sound clips from that show that made excellent soundbites that even in the hours after, the political left had no countermeasure for.  There was so much said in those three hours that Trump had slammed shut an election victory for him at that moment.  And he wasn’t even done at that time.  Trump and Rogan even talked about aliens in that podcast.  It was quite extraordinary. 

But the promise of prosperity for a young 12-year-old is on the table here.  After all that we have been through as a country, we deserve something good, and as I reviewed the Joe Rogan clips and showed them to my grandson while we were in line for several rides, the enthusiasm was unmistakable.  We were on the cusp of something monstrously big, and Joe Rogan had managed to capture it with an excellent interview.  Trump was his best self during it, leaving in the wake plenty that anybody voting could like and get behind. Trump was swinging for the fences after ten years of some of the worst political treatment anybody has ever had, and it was coming fast not with just one homerun but several that were flying out of the park in a highlight reel nobody would ever forget.  I kept telling my grandson how culture changed a lot in the 80s, economically and socially, once Reagan won that second term; there was prosperity in America from about 1981 to 1989 that came from Reagan’s open embrace of capitalism and the defeat of the Soviet Union through policy that unleashed optimism everyone benefited from.  It was encouraging to see my grandchildren coming to age in this remarkable Trump election that was shaking off so many oppressive elements.  Like Rocky from the movies, Trump could be crawling across the finish line, all beat up and barely standing.  But here was a guy that had gone through all he had and was dressed in his business suit, looking better than ever, and showing himself to be at the height of his power.  At this moment, in line with my grandson, and just ahead of Trump’s appearance at Madison Square Garden, the recent betting odds for Trump to win came out at 94.5%, for the first time. 

Kamala Harris couldn’t have done even a tiny portion of what Trump did, especially the Joe Rogan Podcast.  She’s very unexceptional and has little to say about anything.  And in many ways, that is what Trump managed to crack through all the trouble and present to the world.   As I watched the Joe Rogan clips at Kings Island, I also got a live stream from London where they were having a rally for Trump across from Parliament.  I remember standing in that exact spot in 2017 when Trump had just been elected and watching the world react to it in a very negative way, especially in London.  But now the world was watching this American election and praying for Trump’s return, so this isn’t just America that’s excited.  The world is on edge, hoping for an excellent performance, which Trump has shown them; he has done everything he could to win and win big.  There is a chance for Trump not just to win, but for a period of enthusiasm to come from under the barriers of oppression that has stifled creative growth for over a century, even more.  And Trump had united everyone to his cause, even those like Musk who had been left of center most of his life.  Suddenly, Musk at Madison Square Garden talked about taxation in ways that were even more conservative than the Tea Party’s position.  All of this came because of Trump’s excellent campaign.  We were seeing something epic happening in politics and culture.  And the potential for what comes next for the children coming to age in this period is epic.  In many ways, all this campaign activity from Trump gave the feeling of a great nation overcoming an incredible sickness that had suddenly broken, and everyone felt much better.  And much of that was evident on the Joe Rogan Podcast, which would have been enough; it would have been the highlight of most political campaigns.  But for Trump, it was just another day at the office.  The bar of expectations has been shattered, and everyone has grown positively.  And it was wonderful to see.

Yes, the Media is Filled with Stupid People: If you want the job done right, sometimes you just have to do it yourself

It seems like I am answering many questions lately from people who have long wanted to ask.  Such as, why have I put so much effort into writing a 1200-word article every day on this blog site, much of the time, accompanied with video for over 15 years.  The answer is that I can do a better job than anybody else in the media, and I say that because over the last 20 years, I have known the kind of people who end up in media, and if we want to tell the story by reporting media, then you can limit the news to the type of people who are typically picked to be in it.  And I say that because I would know.  There was a large part of my life where all I wanted to do was to be a film director and movie producer.  If you go through my writing over the last 15 years, you’ll see a very distinct break by me from all media outlets around the first election for Trump.  Once I came out in favor of Trump, everybody turned on me.  But before that, people in the business tolerated me.  They even invited me to movie sets with A-lits actors and charming dinners in Glendale and Santa Monica, California, to discuss brewing projects.  But there came a time around 2009 when Barack Obama was president when we all had to decide.  The Tea Party movement needed the modern version of Thomas Paine, Ben Franklin, and even John Paul Jones, who could work a revolution from the background.  I also got to know good people who broke away in the media, and I was one of them.  Of all my contacts, I knew quite a few people at Clear Channel Radio, which I utilized to advance Tea Party causes, who would eventually move over to Glenn Beck’s Blaze.  So yes, I have had a lot of opportunities in media. Still, I found through personal experience that people who make a living in media are a particular kind of person. If the truth were going to be told about things, then I would have to take away those elements myself, which is what I have been doing now for quite a long time.

So, doing the blog for me is similar as to why Trump wants to run for president.  It costs him money to run for a political office, and everyone knows what he has been through to do it.  We need the same kind of commitment from people who can afford to, at all levels of society, if we want to make America Great Again.  I gave up on the idea of being one of them in media by identifying myself with the Tea Party movement, and I found over the next five or six years that I could do a lot better on my own.  I know the kind of people who read my blog and do it because they get better news than they do from newspapers and broadcasts, and they get it every day in a way that tells a whole story on a topic instead of some little fragment.   And I don’t do it for fame or opportunity, but because it’s a job that needs to be done. It could only happen if you didn’t care what people thought and didn’t need anybody to pay you to do the job.  So, from top to bottom, I know media personalities at all levels and understand the personality types who survive in the business, and I determined that I would do the job myself if I wanted it done right. 

I would say most media types are whores.  I found it reprehensible what Clear Channel did to Doc Thompson, a pretty good friend who worked directly for Glenn Beck after quite a lot going on behind the scenes.  For a long time, I was careful not to call people out too much because chances were, they would call me to be on a show.  I’d write a book, and my publishers didn’t want me to rock the boat personally with things, so I tried to keep personalities out of my comments.  But during Trump’s last term, when I saw how everyone treated him, especially in the media, I just tossed all that out the window and stopped answering the calls or appearing anywhere.  Of course, I alienated people at a significant personal cost to me.  But that’s OK.  I have done what I think is a good job on a desperately needed topic.  Because most people who are in the media, and survive there, aren’t very good people for many reasons.  In Cincinnati, there was a time about a decade ago when I knew most every media personality on a first-name basis, and I had their phone numbers and would send them text messages often throughout the day.  Even in 2019, when I was on vacation with my wife at the Epcot Center in Florida, I had the media people at Channel 12 wanting to know the latest on the Trump front in Butler County, and I reluctantly took the call because I liked the guy.  But it was a nowhere story to feed a narrative they didn’t really want to get.  All the media personalities were cheerleading for the removal of Trump, and I lost any desire to correspond with them. 

So because the media is such a mess, and when Trump calls them “fake news,” I know all too well what he means.  He understands it because he was a media darling for a long time, and they invited him into their world.  Trump used that knowledge to be president and started to untie all the shoes of the rat-infested substructure of all media during that first term.  There were a lot of people who had to make hard decisions, and I was certainly one of them.  And I’m glad I did.  I think if I hadn’t poured millions and millions of words that people needed to hear into this AI-infested media climate, there are a lot of influential people who would only have had Fox News and some conservatives from New York writing books to help shape their courage where it matters in day to day matters.  I have always been good at media, like many people.  But what was different about me was that I could do other things, too.  I didn’t have to eat out of the hand of some money investor who wanted to drive a media narrative, especially once Trump became involved in the story.  I was free to talk about Trump any way I wanted.  Many might remember the radio broadcasts I did out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, from 2016 to 2018.  It was a privately owned radio station where I frequently hosted Saturday shows.  I would talk about the benefits of the Trump presidency, and even they were reserved because it was the culture of media that was a problem, and they needed advertising dollars to stay open, and they were always worried about being shut down by the FCC and their advertisers.  So, I have been writing this blog for a long time now.  I am happy with the work that has been a slow trickle working in the background for a long time.  And I have done it because I wanted to, because I wanted people to hear at least a critical opinion that was not at all whored out to any money tied interest.  I’m glad all that occurred.  But yes, from my knowledge, I can say it: the media is filled with people who are not very smart and incapable of seeing the big picture.  And the big picture is where the story always was.  Telling that story takes a perspective of freedom that cannot come from an insider.  Of course, the cost to all that is lost opportunity, financially.  But the value exceeds money by a lot because, in truth, there is an expansion of the human race for which we presently sit on the precipice in ways that seemed impossible just a few years ago.  Yet, here we are.  And yes, it was all worth it.  Things don’t always work out the way you think they will.  But often, because you do things for the right reasons, things work out for the better.

If You Vote for Kamala Harris You Are Stupid: Only dumb people could vote for such a loser

It’s been a while since I was last in the northern part of Ohio, right before an election.  I remember traveling through Akron in 2016, a few weeks before the election, where I was visiting a tool manufacturer, and you could tell who was voting for who.  No matter how conservative the southern part of the state was, Cleveland, for example, and the areas directly to the south, like Akron, were overwhelmingly Democrat party voting areas.  This is the land of Sherrod Brown, the multi-decade senator from Ohio who has been hard to beat over the years.  This was labor union country, they tend to endorse Democrats very vocally.  But even back then, I could tell that Trump would do well in 2016 as Ohio was considered the must-win state, almost to the point where Florida was the other.  They were considered toss-ups during that first election of Trump and, as history would show, would become strongholds for Republicans over the next decade.  And by the time we arrived in 2024, Ohio was a solid state for Trump.  No matter where you went in the state, it was mostly all Trump yard signs.  So, I was curious how Cleveland would be.  I attended a gun competition in the region just a few weeks before the election.  And I saw some Harris signs along with Sherrod Brown signs.  But it is not like I have seen them in the past.  There were a lot of Trump signs, more than in 2016, or 2020 and more people supporting Bernie Moreno than Sherrod Brown.  Even in Cleveland, people were turning away from the Democrat party.  However, there were more visible signs of Democrats in this region, a wealthy suburb of Cleveland, than in other places I have been.  And I couldn’t help but think one thing as I drove by those houses. 

Political expression is not something that should be stigmatized.  People should be able to express themselves and a political party of their choosing without ridicule and harassment.  However, Democrats are well known for harassing those who don’t believe the same things they do—so based on their behavior, when you see other people supporting Democrats vocally, with yard signs and bumper stickers all over their cars, it paints a universally obvious picture.  As I drove by all those homes outside of Cleveland and saw all the Harris signs, I couldn’t help but think one thing based on my experience with those people: they must be stupid.  Anybody consciously voting for Kamala Harris had to be stupid. There isn’t any other explanation for it.  Oddly enough, many of the homes I saw with Harris signs in them, or Sherrod Brown were large homes with a lot of property, so how could such stupid people afford such large houses?  The answer is that most of those people work or somehow benefit from significant government growth, and I don’t tend to view those kinds of jobs as legitimate.  They may be in well-paid occupations, but the type of people in those jobs are often parasites and not the most industrious.  So, of course, they supported a big looting government filled with stupid people who collectively gathered together as an oppressive force to confiscate the wealth of the hard-working and buy themselves big houses that they would put Biden/Harris signs in as registered Democrats.  But knowing what everyone now did about Kamala Harris, nobody with any brains could openly support someone like her, even under the persuasion of personal gain.  To support Kamala Harris for anything, the person must be stupid.

And as I drove by those homes, that’s all I could think of.  These weren’t the homes of people with any foundations in intelligence.  These were stupid people who needed big government to give their worthless lives meaning through force and power.  They were willing to overlook all the problems we have seen with Biden, for which Kamala Harris, an open Marxist, was the vice president.  It takes a conscious decision to put a yard sign out for display in favor of a political candidate.  And I’ve seen them in great abundance over the years on all sides.  So, we’re not talking about accepting the free expression of rival political parties here. Instead, we are just talking about dumb people who need the power of government to compensate for their sheer stupidity.  Anybody voting for Kamala Harris had to be stupid.  That was my only thought as I drove in and around Cleveland.  It wasn’t just an expression of personal gain.  It was an expression of stupidity.  Kamala Harris supporters had to be stupid.  There was no other explanation for it.  To support any Democrats is a stupid idea.  But Kamala Harris is now well known for her stupidity, and with those facts in mind, people still willingly put out yard signs in her favor in Ohio.  So it wasn’t a matter of respecting their opinion for a political belief.  But it was instead an expression of stupidity that they wished to declare to the world.  For whatever reason, they felt a need to declare to the world that stupidity for all to see.  And to do it boldly as their conduct would be forgiven for using government as a leverage against sanity. 

Of course, there were plenty of Trump signs, too.  And I was surprised to see a lot of signs in this region for Bernie Moreno.  It was encouraging to see just how many, and compared to past years, there was a lot more Trump support than I’ve seen in the past.  Knowing the kind of people who are so stupid to vote for Kamala Harris, likely the homes with signs in them are government employees such as school teachers and worthless bureaucrats in government industry.  It used to be that being a school teacher was a respected occupation, but these days, it paints a picture of an overpaid, overweight slob teaching Marxism to the next generation and demanding a fortune for the effort.  They aren’t intelligence representatives just because they are in the teaching profession.  And they reiterate that fact with their voting record.  The people with a Harris sign in their yard are government looters, not hard-working capitalists.  They are benefactors of Karl Marx’ class-based society and they vote for government power because their worthless lives would have nothing if not for such a monstrosity of imposition against personal conduct as they utilize for their benefit.  It’s not like those people with such large homes gained them through genius in business.  They obtained them through the force of government to steal through others with taxes and to benefit the lazy and stupid with large incomes they don’t deserve.  And because they are stupid, they were audacious in displaying their support for a candidate as flawed as Kamala.  Because only someone stupid could vote for a person who is so dumb, it’s not a matter of respecting different opinions.  It’s simply overlooking sheer stupidity in the face of reality and witnessing an arrogance that is out of step with the future the way that only dumb people would find appropriate.  And as hard to believe as it is, there are supporters for Kamala Harris.  And those that are can only be explained to be that way because they are stupid.

The Rebellion Against the Global Managerial Class: What causes all war

When the British were finally forced to leave New York after the Revolutionary War, as one of the final acts after their defeat at the Battle of Yorktown, they imagined that the Americans would fall apart as soon as they left the city.  But once on their ships, an officer remembered that he had left something behind in a home he had been occupying and returned to get it.  The ship landed, and the officer returned to the house and retrieved what he had left behind, which he had expected to be a dangerous enterprise.  But he was stunned, as was the rest of England, to learn that the Americans were capable of self-government and were better off with them gone.  The world in America was better without the micromanagement of an oppressive centralized force.  And that is still the fight we have to this day; a managerial class of bureaucrats is attached to globalism and wants every corner of the globe to submit to their authority.  People have a raw belief about other people and the role authority plays in their lives.  And the truth is, the kind of freedom demonstrated for the first time in the world, the creation of a new nation and a people who governed themselves was bound to occur at some point in time.  America was able to happen due to a unique period in history where shipping allowed for international trade and communication just enough to make a new country possible.  But it was still too big to have all these jealous managerial people poking their noses in everyone’s business.  For a few hundred years, America was left alone because, for one, it didn’t have much value.  So, most of the other countries in the world didn’t care much about what happened to America.  That is until it became one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and mass communications became possible. At that point, the same jealous people were thrust together into a conflict that is very much the story of our modern day.

When Barack Obama says that he doesn’t understand how we became so divided, as he did at a recent rally for Harris, as the poll numbers show his Marxist revolution in the American government is coming to an end, I don’t think he does understand his role in the mess.  He was brought into that micromanagement culture of government to be a kind of communist parent.  So, like that English officer returning to New York, this concept of self-government just doesn’t make sense to him.  And, of course, there are people within the United States and worldwide who are just as perplexed.  I would call them broken people who crave government to be a parent in their lives.  They are insecure people who do not sustain themselves properly, so they are attracted to group affiliations.  But what caused the Revolutionary War in the first place is the same desire behind the MAGA movement now.  Everyone is shocked by what they are seeing in global populism, much less government, because most people never dealt with the cause of freedom in the first place.  When we talk about a Deep State and an administrative state, we are talking about people who are personally insecure and who want to rule over people in a managerial class kind of way.  You see it at every level of society, where a superior bosses around an inferior for the joy of being in control over someone else.  And this is the essence behind all forms of globalism.  They want to control value so that they can rule over the people who want a piece of that value.  But they do not understand why people would not want to be governed by them.  Or why more value is created in a culture that rebels against a management class of overseers. 

Another common theme that has not been well understood is that the Revolutionary War was about who controlled currency.  One of the plans the English had for the newly found Americans was to crush their economy by flooding the market with counterfeit money, making all the pay and exchanges made to people worthless, and essentially destroying the effort of freedom because nobody could afford the basics in life, particularly on the frontier of private property.  This was a continued problem with George Washington, who had been very successful before he became involved in the war or the presidency.  For his efforts, he was paid with worthless money, just as everyone else was, and that misfortune lasted the rest of his life.  But Americans didn’t turn away from freedom over a lousy economy that perplexed the world and its managerial class overseas.  They never understood it, and that holds to this day.  The same kind of people who lost America to the Revolution are handling our money supply now, and they have been purposely trying to destroy our economy for the purposeful incursion of ruling over America from the newly created United Nations.  To answer Barack Obama’s question, this rebellion would always occur, even if it meant the destruction of our economy.  When that destruction was most utilized in a global policy with the creation of the Covid bioweapon that shut down the world economy, the opposite of what they thought would happen occurred.  Just as that English officer was surprised to see how Americans behaved once the managerial class of the English military packed up and left New York after that war of independence. 

The monetary policy of imposing control over those who were supposed to be happy as subordinates was never understood psychologically, so the world has made the same mistakes repeatedly.  And Americans were taught by all the wrong people about how the world was supposed to be.  What was ignored was how people wished to live, and those forces never reconciled.  And that is the heart of what we see in this current election.  People do not want to be ruled by a managerial class.  It doesn’t matter if it’s other countries, centralized bankers, aliens from space, the World Economic Forum, or China, no matter who it is. People don’t want to be controlled by a managerial class, and America shows the benefits of what freedom produces in people.  Even when attempts to destroy our economy were utilized, people did not rush back to the arms of global overseers; instead, they became more rebellious.  And are electing Trump to get the globalists out of our back pockets.  And the more managerial overseers try to keep their hands in our pockets, the more anxious we have become.  But none of this is new; it’s just that the world is finally catching up to the nature of all human beings.  They don’t want a micromanaging parental figure ruling their lives.  They want freedom from all that, and the next several years are going to be very surprising to those globalist types.  They never reconciled what that English officer learned that day in New York, which is just as accurate now as it was then.  There is nothing that this management class can do to change human nature.  Things will never be for them as they would like them to be because that is not the nature of human beings anywhere.

Democrats Do Not Respect Civilian Oversight: The disaster of Kamala Harris skipping the Al Smith Dinner

As we get down the stretch of the 2024 election, the big takeaway and primary reason that many Democrats have peeled away from the party only to join Republicans is that a ruse has been exposed that was long concealed.  Democrats with a foundation of Marxism never respected voters’ opinions.  They ultimately adopted the globalist policy of rigged elections to gain and hold power.  They never intended to win people over with a compelling argument about their political platform.  Their entire political strategy has been essentially high school politics; you were either a cool kid or weren’t.  And if that were the case, then you would be cast from society, a society they controlled.  No, what they lost most over the last four years has been their brand.  Nobody wants to be one of the cool kids if what you get is a Democrat.  That was particularly revealing when Tulsi Gabbard announced at a recent Trump rally that she was joining the Republican Party.  Trump has been fantastic at opening up the big tent of the Republican Party in ways that no other Republican in history could have, leaving it indeed a party of the Americans.  When you consider that Robert F. Kennedy joined Trump’s campaign with the intention of a critical position in the White House and Elon Musk suddenly became a Tea Party kind of Republican, the Trump campaign has just been fantastic down the stretch.  Trump has done everything that could be done to bring people into support of him, especially with people of color and among the immigrant population.  There have been a lot of great moments, but I think one of the best will be remembered by the Al Smith Dinner of 2024, where Trump was brilliantly funny.  Most of all, he showed up, but Kamala Harris didn’t. 

Democrats are playing a game they thought would work, and it is consistent with their actions over the past three or four decades.  But Trump exposed it with all his persuasive live performances, especially at the Al Smith Dinner.  When Trump went to the one in 2016, Hillary Clinton was there, and she went and spoke.  She didn’t do very well, but she figured it didn’t matter at that time.  The machine would win for her, so she showed up and did her part.  Trump was great that year, too, but this time, he was outstanding.  But Kamala Harris didn’t show up, and instead sent in a video with a kind of Saturday Night Live skit to help carry Kamala over the top.  Democrats are like that kid who didn’t study for the big test and showed up expecting to cheat on someone’s paper.  Democrats weren’t prepared to run a real campaign for power in America.  They counted exclusively on election theft to win, like all the other Marxist countries in the world presently do, and they were so disrespectful about it that they picked a candidate in Kamala Harris who would do whatever they told her to and run her campaign from concealment the entire time.  Because they have such little respect for the democratic process and the self-government concept of Americans in general, they were not able to compete when Trump made the campaign truly about competency and representation.  The strategies of personal destruction suddenly didn’t work at all with Trump because he didn’t need the Democrats to crown him one of the “cool kids.”  He already was one.  Trump has changed the definition of a cool kid over the last eight years.

The Al Smith Dinner was embarrassing for Kamala Harris because it was so out of step with the nature of the 2024 campaign.  There was no compelling argument to make on behalf of Democrats, causing them to leave the party, such as what Tulsi Gabbard and many others have done.  Just think about how many people have done the same thing all across the country, and they know what will happen in this election.  Now that the close of the election is near, even the big media outlets understand what will happen.  They tried to run the same closet campaign for Kamala that they did for Biden the first time, but people aren’t buying into it.  There is no COVID to cover for their massive attempts at election fraud, and most anybody who isn’t a crazy lunatic of anti-American sentiment is voting for Trump.  And as I have said all along, it will all come down to engagement.  Trump has engaged voters who are excited to vote for him.  Kamala Harris has a few fringed cat ladies and a hamster.  But nobody else.  Trump will break into the seventy millions.  Kamala will be lucky to get out of the sixties.  Trump will win the popular vote because there won’t be the same opportunities to cheat that were so common in 2020.  And the Democrats are panicking over it.  Even CNN has figured out that they will have egg on their face if they support Kamala, who had a particularly disastrous performance there, too, with Anderson Cooper.  When the smoke clears from this one, people will wonder how so many people got it all wrong, and they’ll point to that disastrous Al Smith Dinner with the video contribution by a weird Saturday Night Live skit as the root cause. 

I know quite a few Secret Service Agents, and they report that they can’t see the forest for the trees.  Even with all that I have said, they fear that Kamala Harris will win anyway because they genuinely think the “machine” of politics is truly in charge.  And I tell them they are too close to the situation to be objective.  But plenty of people want to argue with me and believe that Kamala Harris will win as a propped-up asset of the machine, and she thinks so, too.  That is until she was heckled at a recent rally where people broke out into a Trump chant, and she became furious about it.  I hear what everyone says about the machine being in charge.  But in America, that is not acceptable, and Trump has done everything that can be done to unite the country behind the Republican Party, which will have a significant impact up and down the ticket in general for all races.  I see significant losses for Democrats that will wipe them out generationally and even perhaps as a viable political party.  After all this, they may join the Whigs in history as they don’t represent the American people but a globalist ideology that most people find repulsive once they find out what it is.  And the Democrats were exposed through competition for really the first time.  Voters have been looking for someone like Trump to expose this shell game for a long time, and essentially, this is the first time that the stress fractures exposed Democrats for what they have always been hiding.  And it was never more evident than when Kamala Harris skipped the Al Smith Dinner in 2024, even with Chuck Schumer sitting right next to the podium where the speeches were given.  In a friendly venue, she couldn’t even perform there.  But Trump did, and did it very well, leaving no doubt who the winner of the presidency would be.  And history will never forget it.

The Secret to Elon Musk’s Success: His high score on the video game Diablo

I could tell Elon Musk was expanding his intellect as much as a few years ago, and I covered it as I witnessed it.  It was in the kind of books that he was reading, and because of that, I’m not surprised by his support of President Trump.  The only way you can remain a Democrat with Marxist foundations is through ignorance.  When you start learning things, you can’t support dumb politics.  While Elon Musk has always been intelligent and very successful, his political positions are more a result of knowledge than of upbringing or regional considerations.  For him, the realities of running his businesses have driven him to learn more to survive and, ultimately, provide him with a political point of view that facilitates productivity.  Having compassion for other people is one thing.  Destroying the world over compassion is quite another, and I could tell that as Elon Musk dealt with the realities of politics through his businesses, especially the Department of Labor trying to push him to unionize his Tesla plants, he was heading toward more small government than an imposing, all-powerful government that could take everything you own, and sit on FAA permits because you weren’t supporting their political party to stay in power.  For that matter, President Trump also went through the same kind of conversion throughout his life.  That doesn’t make all these people suddenly conservative the way I would be.  I grew up in a conservative area around a lot of conservative people, so I started that way.  As I learned more in life, my roots in conservative thought deepened.  But logic dictates that we all get to the same place once we figure out how the world works and the people in it strive to live in it. 

So, with all that said, people wonder why Elon Musk is so successful and why those who work for him are so engaged.  Now, I talk to many people at a consulting level.  If people listen to me, they are successful.  If they don’t, then they fail.  There isn’t any muddy middle.  There is no consensus on where everyone gets a participation trophy; success is a very rigid standard, and I always get asked about it by compelling people worldwide.   My joint statement toward any successful enterprise is that engagement is the most important and challenging thing to manage in a business.  You can see it in sports when two NFL teams play football.  Usually when one team wins over another given that all the players are the same essentially, they all weigh the same, they are all just as tall and have talented players at all the positions.  The element that determines winners from losers is the coaching staff and their ability to get good engagement from their players.  Labor unions tend to be unproductive because people aren’t motivated to engage in the business through collective bargaining.  They are always fighting the company management they work for to do as little as possible and still get paid wages at a highly engaged value.  Getting people engaged in a project or company is elusive, and the easiest thing that most management turns to is wages, hoping that people will be motivated to make more money and that they might work harder as a result of how much they are paid.  But of course, as I always say, money is not a good motivator.  Throwing money at people does not get people to be more engaged; most of the time, it lowers it as more money often destroys the things that make a person good and strive to be better.  Once a person stops striving for goals in their life, they tend to be less engaged in the things they do, from raising children to buying a new car. 

I thought it was interesting that Elon Musk during the middle of October 2024 had launched new Tesla products, the Tesla Bot and the Tesla Taxi, then a few days later launched with SpaceX, the first Super Heavy Booster into space carrying a Starship, then landed it back at Boca Chica right on target to be captured by the giant chopsticks, to be reloaded with fuel and to launch again.  It was a remarkable feat of engineering by thousands of people, and Elon Musk had created the culture that performed it.  But Musk wasn’t done.  The next day, SpaceX used a Falcon Heavy to launch the Europa Clipper, which is going to Jupiter to study a moon there, and it came off without a hitch.  That launch alone a few years ago would have resulted from a decade of work at NASA.  But after all that, do you know what Elon Musk was most proud of?  He leveled up in the Diablo video game, which he does quite a lot playing video games.  With all his success, he lives in a little shack at Boca Chica, runs around in t-shirts, and plays video games with his co-workers.  He’s one of the wealthiest people in the world, if not the richest, and he has no pretense of measuring success the way we traditionally do, with great wealth hanging from him in a social context.  And he cares about his high score in a popular video game. 

What is expected at Elon Musk companies, and I know this personally, is that he recruits and retains highly engaged people. Business schools have yet to unlock this mystery because everyone learns the same wrong things.  Elon Musk does a lot that goes well beyond Lean Manufacturing techniques, and no consulting firms in the world have yet figured it out.  But I’ll tell everyone here for free because I like you.  The secret to Elon Musk’s success is that he does not, as a management culture, rob his employees of their emotional investment in their work.  By providing a job, they have a means to make a living.  But he does not impose himself on their work and instead removes barriers to success.  Not success measured in monetary value.  Once people can pay for their lives, families, homes, and social engagements, they want to do work they feel good about.  Elon Musk gives them jobs in which they can invest to create high-engagement cultures.  Cultures where people want to work and express themselves through good work.  If you watch employees at SpaceX, you see them highly engaged at all hours of the day, 7 days a week.  Because they like their work, and it shows in what they do. Most companies miss these traits altogether because engagement is challenging to measure.  But once it is unlocked, the results are apparent.  Elon Musk showed how he gets high engagement by not being pretentious at so much success, especially after a week where he started it on stage with President Trump at that now famous rally at Butler, Pennsylvania.  Musk was equally impressed with his high score on Diablo; people see that in him and can relate to him.  When an owner or job provider does not rob people of the value of their work through social conditions that impose a static order upon them, people will then invest in themselves into a project because they want to, for all the same reasons that people play video games with no monetary compensation provided, at all.  People do things because they feel good doing them.  The world is far better off for a business or capitalist enterprise when people are engaged in their jobs because the products produced reflect that engagement.  And when people are allowed to invest in themselves and not be robbed by some cultural stigma, success always follows.   And winning becomes expected, not just some fantasy folklore from some island that time forgot.  But it is available to all who dare to tap into its vast secrets and opportunities for the curious and hardworking.

The Ruthlessness of Smiling Faces: What people are really up to

First of all, even though I am talking about a recent fast draw competition with the Ohio Fast Draw guys in Ohio, I am not talking about that event, but many other things that are relevant in ways that aren’t always so obvious.  Human nature is what it is, and all things are applicable.  But this particular example is appropriate across the tapestry of competition.  And to that point, I am used to extreme ruthlessness in human nature.  I don’t see the smiles that people provide to disarm your sensibilities as being innocent.  I see the worst in people because that’s my experience based on years of opinion.  So, when I attended a recent Ohio Fast Draw competition in Cleveland, I went out in support for the group because the attendance was dropping, and I wanted to boost the membership with my presence.  But from my point of view, it was hard in the second half of the year to attend the events, starting with the one in August, which I missed.  It was a late night with many good GOP people, including Bernie Moreno, Warren Davidson, George Lang, and many others, and we stayed way too late listening with a VIP perspective to a Jason Aldean concert.  I didn’t get on the road in time to get to Cleveland, which broke my routine for the year.  Up until that point, I had attended all the Ohio Fast Draw competitions.  But August, September, and the rest of the year until Christmas are too busy for me.  My goal for the year was to get to all the Ohio Fast Draw competitions and show my support for them.  But once I missed the one in August, it bothered me to have that intention disrupted.

My gun minutes before a competition

I learned at the next event I did manage to get to that other shooters were not unhappy that I did not show up.  I had been winning many trophies, and people felt that because I wasn’t there, they’d get a better chance to win themselves.  I didn’t let it bother me because I like the people who are typically in Fast Draw.  I understand and respect the ruthlessness of human nature.  So, I put those thoughts into a category of their own to deal with as I saw fit.  Even so, I tried hard to make the next competition to support the organization.  I didn’t have time for it.  I didn’t need any more trophies for the year.  I just wanted to see attendance grow, not recede.  I think Fast Draw should be a sport that more people participate in; it’s better than golf, bowling, or other competitive events.  But a lot of young people these days don’t know much about gun fighting because it’s not part of their cultural experience, as more woke activities have become part of their lives.  So, I am interested in seeing organizations like Ohio Fast Draw survive well into the future, and I would like to see them grow in popularity.  But when I showed up to the most recent Cleveland event, I was already strung well too thin, and didn’t have the time to give.  I attended to support friends.  I was disappointed that I wasn’t very welcome and that many of them hoped I wouldn’t show up.  Now, things get murky because people often don’t say what they really mean.  And they usually hide malicious intent behind appearing helpful.  So people think that what they believe deep within themselves is hidden from the outside world and that nobody really knows what’s going on if they don’t admit to something.  Well, I know everything that goes on.  I understand every aspect of human nature, so nothing stays hidden from me.  I know what is going on with everyone at all times.  And it wasn’t hard for me to figure out what was happening when I arrived at the Cleveland competition. 

In Fast Draw, severe rules for activity on the firing line, safety, and other considerations are rigorous.  Some of the more competitive people in these events go crazy when they hear a cell phone and people whisper in the background while shooting.  They get mad at every little distraction.  So, given that context, I thought it was highly unusual that at my gun check at this event, there was so much concern over my gun having a sticky trigger.  I didn’t ask for any advice; it was the same gun I had used to win several competitions that year, and it worked well for me.  But many Fast Draw shooters perform a lot of work on their guns, hoping to give themselves a slight edge in speed.  So it mystifies them that I use a mostly stock gun and that it has a heavy hammer pull.  Now, given some of the people involved in volunteering to tear my gun apart looking for a problem that wasn’t there, I thought being friendly and respectful was more important than showing anger that I was missing the opportunity to practice before the competition started.  I think they were genuinely trying to be helpful.  But I also felt that something more malicious was going on, and the longer it went on, the more angry I got. 

At the end of a lot of work, several shooters offered to loan me a gun to shoot with that day, which, on the surface, appeared helpful.  But they all know what distractions and changing anything on the firing line do to the process.  So, I found it disrespectful to see that they had made a point to look like helpful behavior to sabotage my approach to shooting in that competition.  I didn’t ask for help.  I didn’t want any help.  And I would have rather been left alone because there was more going on than trying to appear helpful.  The combined efforts were an attempt at sabotage because as the day progressed, it became pronounced that I was the center of many of their thoughts, and they had prepared for that event with an intention against me personally.  Here’s the deal: I won a lot at these competitions because of my shooting method, not because of the tricks of the gun or luck.  My times are consistently good because I shoot close to the hip in a fashion that looks slower to go fast.  And the frustration against me has been that I look like I’m not trying to go fast all the time and shoot in the .300s and even .200s.  I could, but in Ohio Fast Draw, missing the target would become more common, and you would get penalized for missing.  You are judged on speed and accuracy.  I ended up doing OK for the day.  The worries about my gun and the overall process of the day did have an impact, but I worked through it.  Part of the benefit of competitions like that is that learning to manage stress under tremendous pressure is the real takeaway.  So I thought it was a positive experience.  But I was very disappointed to see that so many of those other shooters were happy to see me having a bad day.  They wanted it, which was a good lesson that applies to most things.  It’s the way people are.  You hope that people will overcome that natural tendency.  But Fast Draw is meant to be ruthless, and people being friendly to each other is only a cosmetic ruse for their true intentions.  While I wanted to think more about people, it wasn’t enjoyable to see where their minds were.  The main rule in gun fighting competitions is that you don’t point out every little rule that might distract a shooter on the line, then break all those rules to gain personal advantage.  That behavior might help a person win a few times here and there.  However, it will destroy the initiative of any future shooters who want to take up the sport and grow in a positive direction.  This is precisely why attendance this year has been light and is only getting worse.  When it comes to human behavior, I don’t miss anything, and the moral to the story in this case is that a short-sighted win only hurts the future, which is becoming obvious to everyone.

I expect ruthlessness out of people.  And again, I’m talking about more than my experiences with the Ohio Fast Draw Association.  I would like to relax and spend time with people of common interest in shooting sports.  But often as it is in most things in life, you don’t get what you want.  You get what you get, and you either deal with it, or you are crushed by it.  So with that in mind, don’t try to hide ruthless behavior through a thin veil of helpfulness.  I see it all for what it is, at every level that it’s presented.  There is nothing about human nature, or action, that I do not see. And I see it in ways that most people even hide from themselves. There’s a reason I don’t say much to anybody, it’s because I am perpetually let down by other people all the time and I don’t expect much out of them.  And I don’t ask much of anybody because I don’t want them to have to lie to me when they have no intention to live up to my expectations. I have to manage my disappointment in people by limiting how much I interact with them.  But never think I’m not going to see the truth that is really there looming in the background.  Even if it’s just a shooting sport in recreation, or if it’s millions of dollars at stake.  It’s all the same game played by all the same kind of people for all the same reasons.  People in life want the least path to success with the least effort.  And they hate people who work hard and develop themselves skillfully.  As I have said many times, which is a big feature of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, “Rules are made by the losers of the world to give them an advantage over the competent.”  And as much as I know that rule to be the fact of life, it does bother me each time it is confirmed true by reality.

I Want a Tesla Bot: We need robots to fill the jobs of a lazy workforce and expanding economy

I was very encouraged by the recent product launch of Tesla’s new Optimus Bot, which was revealed to the world just before the SpaceX landing of the Super Heavy booster at Boca Chica, Texas.  Not that the launch event should have taken a back seat to anything, but the SpaceX news was so tremendous that it did.  But to answer the question about the Tesla Bots, I would certainly buy one.  If all they cost is $20-$30K, I could see buying a lot of them because, essentially, they would be like your very own C-3PO from Star Wars, a mechanical assistant to all the things a human just doesn’t have time for.  When Elon Musk said during the product launch that he thought these would be the hottest-selling products in the world, I think he was right.  In the future, they will be as common as a calculator is today.  When calculators first came out, they were a bit of a novelty.  But their usefulness was quickly appreciated.  The Tesla Bots, called Optimus, have been criticized for their flamboyant walking around and pouring drinks for people, as engineers were operating them, but the concept was good.  I’ve seen enough from Tesla AI to know that they’ll get all the bugs worked out and that these Tesla Bots will learn enough from humans to self-navigate and interact with their environment properly.  The ability of SpaceX, another Elon Musk company, to land that Super Heavy Booster back to earth from space with AI technology is essentially much more complicated than teaching a robot to walk around a room and perform basic tasks, so we are seeing something very new being launched here by Tesla that will be tremendously beneficial to the future. 

I enjoyed watching President Trump work a McDonald’s drive-thru. That was a brilliant campaign move, and it showed just how good he is as a person to recognize that something like that needed to be done and that, as a billionaire, he would do it to show people he can relate with them.  Most people work a fast-food job at some point as a first or second job, and I think they are extraordinary experiences.  When I review job applications for opportunities, I look for them to reveal fast food experience since I believe those are great places to learn a work ethic.  Fast-food restaurants are high-pressure environments where speed and quality go hand in hand, and it’s good for people to be exposed to them.  Almost every human being interacts with a fast-food restaurant, likely several times a week.  So, one thing we all have in common is our need for food and the way that food is made and delivered.  So, there was a lot about President Trump working at that McDonald’s in Pennsylvania that was good.  But I talk about them a lot because it’s one of the first places where you can see a weakness in the labor market.  I go to McDonald’s a lot, all over the country, especially in Ohio, as I travel around to fast-draw competitions.  And I see a lot of short staffing in fast food places where most have never recovered from Covid.  I have worked at several fast-food restaurants personally, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and even Frisch’s, so I know what kind of management decisions go into closing down a second drive-thru window or a dining room over staffing concerns.  I understand why people call off work and why they come to work; I learned a lot during my various jobs in the restaurant industry when I was young.  More than any other source of education.  Until you’ve run the front grill, the drive-thru grill, and the fry station all by yourself at a Wendy’s at the Kings Island location, which was busy all day long, you haven’t yet lived.  But I did that job at the time better than anybody in Cincinnati routinely, and I liked it because it was so challenging.  And for the critics out there, which I have many, I worked that job at the Kings Island location as a second job, working 30 hours per week, including weekends, and my wife and I only had one car.  So I rode a bicycle to get to work through the snow and pouring rain even when the temperature was -10 below zero.  And I never called off.  I never got sick.  And I was never late.  Ever!  My former employers could all testify to those facts. 

The point is that our labor market is permanently damaged.  Even if it were like it used to be, where people had a decent work ethic and showed up for work, we would still have a problem.  Our economy needs to outgrow the limits of a workforce.  Not to be penalized by it.  Meaning we cannot limit our workforce to the limits of labor.  This has been a deliberate scheme by globalists to harm the productivity of American culture and capitalism in general, and we are today seeing the effects of decades of this erosion.  So the future needs an alternative, especially in what I can see as a practical reality in about ten years for the first McDonald’s to be launched literally in space, either on Mars, the Moon, or an orbiting space station.  Don’t laugh; things will move fast once President Trump is elected, and things will happen technologically in a whirlwind. But what we can’t have happen is that our management forces waste all their time trying to call a bunch of lazy kids into work who would rather sit at home and play video games.  I see these Tesla Bots first being applied to industries such as fast food to serve in those much-needed positions.  They run for up to 20 hours, so for basic things like prepping food and delivering it out of a drive-thru window, these Tesla Bots could fill the many job needs that are currently a big problem in the fast food industry.  And they’d be quicker and more efficient than many of the slack-jawed losers currently in those positions. 

Yes, of course, labor unions will have a problem with automated robots doing the work of human beings.  But the economy needs to grow, and labor limits can’t stifle it.  Humans and robots will help each other much the way they do in Star Wars, as natural extensions of human intellect.  What I have often said about Star Wars is that through art and entertainment, the human race has been working out this upcoming reality for a long time.  Now that we have a few generations who understand the concept through fiction, such as Elon Musk, who was exposed to it as a youth, an engineering reality can take place, which we see unfolding in our present time.  The technology is there, the concept has been there, and all we have needed was a President like Trump to come in and take the restrictor plates off the economy to set everything loose.  And that is what we see going on in October of 2024.  I can see these Tesla Bots performing critical tasks in almost all basic manufacturing, and they will cost a lot less than an average employee, but they never stop, only to be recharged.  So, I can see the Tesla Bots expanding sovereign countries’ economic potential and fueling the labor needs for our civilization to move into space.  What would be better to start a civilization on Mars or Europa than a fleet of Tesla Bots going ahead of humans and building small colonies on their own so that when humans arrive, everything is nice and cozy for them to start the actual work?  I think Tesla Bots will be a big part of my life, and I can see buying thousands of them over the next 20 years.  And I think they will tremendously benefit the world we have been preparing for over the last several thousand years, and I’m very excited about it.
