Reality Cannot Be Defined By The Lazy Losers: Competition makes everything better

I’ve heard a lot about reality lately, defined by those who are not so ambitious.  Where reality in a proposed Marxist world is determined by the lazy and not very skilled, truth be told, at the age I’m at now, I get asked a lot why I do so many competitive events.  Do I need a few more trophies for my wall and office?  Personally, I don’t.  But I do get involved in those kinds of things, especially in shooting sports, because it tells me a lot about people in general, and I get a kick out of just how much competitors will do as rivals to make themselves better.  When I go to a competitive event, even if I don’t mean malice on my part, I have watched people drive themselves to near insanity with competitive zeal.  And I think that’s a good thing, and I enjoy inserting myself into places where competition is most needed.  And out of all the trophies I have won over the years when I look at them, I don’t so much think of the many victories but of what I was able to do to provoke more competition into people’s lives.  I did get a kick out of a recent shooting competition where there was a not-so-subtle attempt by most of the shooters to distract me from the task of winning.  It’s like a free throw shooter in basketball with audience members waving in the background to divert your attention from the accuracy needed.  But that’s all part of the process, and in the wake of all that competition, things have improved dramatically, which is one of the critical points of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business.  Capitalism over socialism.  Competitiveness over lazy stagnation.  I consider my work in the world good if I have an army of rivals up all night sweating like pigs, trying to plot some way to beat me.  In that way, I purposely go out of my way to improve the world by making myself a target for that improvement.  And it makes me happy to see people try so hard.

But regarding those shooting competitions, the ones who want to win not by competing, but by some form of sabotage, baked into that mentality are the various levels of Marxism that have so permeated our society.  If people want to win by penalizing you somehow, they aren’t trying to win with a fair fight.  They are trying to win with sabotage.  But even in those circumstances, you can learn much about people and what holds back a culture.  So my interest in shooting sports is to get to that raw essence that is at the heart of all human activity.  Shooters are very competitive and, to a large degree, extremely malicious when left untended.  But they don’t disguise it the way you see in other fields of activity, and it always gives me a good perspective on the human condition.  And that is the nature of reality.  I recently stopped by several McDonald’s restaurants for food while traveling for a fast-draw competition with a particularly intense competitive environment as a backdrop for the whole event.  I noticed that the first window had been abandoned out of the standard two drive-thru windows because of staffing problems.  I’ve talked a lot about McDonald’s restaurants in 2024 because they suffer from short staffing due to a bad Biden economy.  And that the trend of the average worker is to say that such a limitation is “reality.” 

We have allowed Marxism into our world, including the attitude in competitive events where the expectation is to penalize the competitor and to prop up the weak with lowered standards.  When I am in shooting competitions, I love to hear the person beside me breathing deeply and trying hard to beat me like it’s the only thing they have been thinking of for months beforehand.  It is good to be the one everyone wants to beat, even if they have to rig the game.  Because it breaks loose the otherwise mundane existence we see in all Marxist cultures.  When lazy losers and the unskilled try to alter reality with lowered expectations, a great detriment is being imposed on our culture.  I’d rather see people go insane over competition than try to make reality a dismal frontier of bland scrutiny.  At one of those McDonald’s restaurants during that shooting competition, they did not open both drive-thru windows, but the young girl working that second window was trying to keep her times down with great effort anyway.  And when I told her she was very speedy, her face beamed excitedly because she was glad someone noticed.  She would be paid to be fast or slow on that drive-thru window, all the same.  But she chose to go fast, and I’m glad she did because I was in a hurry, as usual.  There is a lot to do in the world; the quicker we can do it, the better.  And that pressure is healthy; people need that pressure.  They need to feel that competitive zeal.  They need to think of hatred for a competitor getting in their grill.  Because in their efforts to defeat you, they will become better people. 

So, in that respect, we don’t accept reality as defined by the lazy losers of the world.  For instance, I showed up at a gun shoot recently, and most of the people there obviously didn’t want me to arrive.  They hoped I wouldn’t come to the event because they would have a better chance of winning if I wasn’t there.  So they conspired to act concerned about some mechanical issue that was going on with my gun during its initial inspection.  So, before I knew it, a small team of people wanted to help resolve the problem, which, to me, wasn’t a problem.  But for them, it was necessary to put doubt in my head and distract me in the confidence of my equipment.  I tried to be as polite as possible during all this because what is looming in the background is a recognition that they are trying to keep reality pinned down to a status quo that facilitates their lackluster speed and endurance.  And it’s gotten so bad over the years that when people find out I’m coming to a competition, they withdraw so they don’t have to suffer embarrassment.  So many games go on psychologically and essentially struggle to keep reality from being defined by the best but by the laziest and least ambitious.  To see it clearly, I go out of my way to compete in many endeavors so that I don’t lose touch with that feeling and that hatred that usually comes from competition that is never really friendly. If people are being nice to you, it’s because they are trying to take the edge off you to make it easier for them with less vigor and expectation.  A competition between friends is a nice concept.  But truthfully, it’s always ruthless, and it should be.  At least honesty, in reality, is defined by the solid and competent, who push the lazy and lackluster to perform better than they otherwise would.  When I look at my many trophies, I think of each one of those occasions and remember that to win meant you had to push other people toward improving themselves for the better.  And in those small ways, big things do happen when competition is stiffest, and you fill the minds of your rivals with fantasies of victory for which they would never even attempt otherwise.  And in that way, reality is defined by those who work hardest and are the best.  Not those too lazy to strive to be anything more than a slug.  When you push yourself to compete at anything, it helps to see the need for competition where it’s needed most.  This is why I spend my time doing competitions rather than sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch waving at cars as they drive by.  Making the world better starts with a good competitive attitude and a lot of hard work.

Nobody Wants Beta Men, Not Even Women: The disaster left behind by progressive Democrats and their plots of doom

Trump was hilarious at the Al Smith Dinner in 2024 by calling various men from the Democrat party essentially women, and people laughed because they knew the truth.  Even women.  This whole women’s rights thing has been a disaster.  Not that we should treat women unfairly and not allow them to vote and own property, but in the more subtle strategy of destroying the American family.  There are a lot of things coming undone in 2024, and this issue of wokeness and robbing society of extraordinary women and powerful women is being rejected as we speak, and Trump gets that trend.  He played on it with jokes that were more than true, making them funny and a forbidden subject that has been taboo in our society.  When Trump told Chuck Schumer, with him sitting right next to him during the speech, that Chuck might still get a chance to be the first woman president, the joke became the highlight of the evening and more than a little bit true.  This discussion has mainly emerged during the campaign season of 2024, with Democrats digging in on toxic masculinity by exhibiting Doug Emhoff, Kamala’s husband, as an example of what the 21st-century man should be.  But as the Harris campaign moved in that direction, people started doing some digging and found out that Kamala’s husband had been naughty to women, treating them in very scandalous ways, slapping them, and forcing them to flirt with him at his law practice.  This brings up the secret behind the entire Democrat party: they often present a public profile to hide what they do in public.  And by talking about toxic masculinity, they hope that the low-information voter will overlook all their evil actions.  Just as they have done with Tampon Tim, the proposed vice presidential candidate for Kamala Harris, as he has promoted tampoons in men’s bathrooms but trying to get the public to think of him as a hunter and gun rights advocate.  Democrats are liars who use politics and the power that comes from it to mask their intention to abuse other people and commit crimes. 

The creation of the beta male has been very destructive for the human race.  Men are typically physically more robust, so fighting with each other tends to be more literal.  Men are quick to anger; they might have a vicious fight in a parking lot, but they get over things quickly and can often become fast friends with their enemies.  Women, though, are more psychological.  Since they don’t have physical strength, they have developed mind games, which often mystifies men.  And that has been going on for many thousands of years.  However, once progressive society encouraged women to enter the workplace, to attack the American family, American business, and the essential structure of how humans engage with each other, what has happened has brought everyone a lot of dissatisfaction, which is lingering behind this current political movement.  Women like men for what men do for them, and men like women for what they do for them.  And that was fine somewhat until progressive in the form of the modern Democrat party, coming straight from the manipulators at the World Economic Forum, started telling people that men can be women, and women, men depending on how they felt that day, and they screwed up everything.  That attitude has also shown up in the workplace.  When people have to do business with each other, there is much less directness than there used to be, making doing business much less effective.  Too few people say what they mean, making it hard to get anything done. 

This poison was purposeful, of course.  However, people in their workplaces are tired of the effects, and the change in attitude toward what the Democrat platform has deeply committed itself to results from massive dissatisfaction.  Yet the Democrats behind Kamala Harris are tone-deaf to it.  They are committed to the communist cause and can see no other way.  That plan meant that toxic men who might stand up to the communist push needed to be removed and replaced in business, politics, and life in general with more people like Doug Emhoff and fewer like Donald Trump. It hasn’t worked out the way it was intended, but the Democrats keep giving us more of them, only to have society laugh at the results.  That’s why Trump said what he said at the Al Smith Dinner; he understands what people think.  Just as when he said on Access Hollywood about women, it was the kind of locker room talk people want to engage in.  Because there is truth in it, men talk about women in superficial ways because that is how they are wired biologically to interact with them.  Women want deeper meanings and can often find they can easily manipulate men to their advantage.  Over thousands of years, we have all developed checks and balances on that power, which Trump understands all too well and has exhibited many times over.  And the dumb people thought Trump talking about grade-A female genitalia were assuming that the progressive mind control message would overcome biology, and that turned out to be a complete disaster.  People being polite entertained those woke rules until they saw what they did to the world around them.  And now they are changing their mind.  But rather than adapting to those observations, Democrats have dug in. 

Turning men into betas has been catastrophic because now nobody tells the truth about anything.  Every interaction has turned passive-aggressive because all fighting has become a kind of sissy-slapping contest.  One thing that Democrats have not looked in the mirror yet to admit to themselves is that Trump is the choice of people who want masculinity to be back in society, especially in leadership positions.  I remember seeing Trump at Tea Party events around 2010 when a small crowd of people who loved his Art of the Deal books would show up to hear him speak.  Back then, much of this progressive woke stuff wasn’t known about its impact on everyone’s lives.  Trump didn’t suddenly arrive on the scene with thousands of people waiting all day to see him.  He became that way because he offered himself up as an alternative to the nonsense of the new beta male rules given to us by vile Democrats who want to destroy the world as we know it.  And we like our world; we like women; we like men; we like tough people; and we like leaders.  We don’t want cry babies who cry their eyes out over a caterpillar squashed on the sidewalk.  We don’t like men who take off for maternity leave.  I say to other men daily, “Did you have the baby?  Your wife did.  You need to get back to work and be a man.  Be tough.”  Work when you’re not feeling well.  Lead when you’d rather take a nap because you are too tired.  Be brutal when it’s hard because people count on you to fight when they are too weak to do it themselves.  And as to these beta males, women don’t want them.   Nobody wants them.  And that was never going to be a thing.  Beta men make the world far worse.  The world doesn’t need where everyone fights like a bunch of women.  Because then, nothing will get done.

Trump is Doing a Rally at Madison Square Gardens: Kamala is so bad, nobody will ever believe she could win

The differences couldn’t have been more clear between President Trump and the ridiculously disastrous presentation of Kamala Harris than at the Al Smith Dinner in New York in October 2024.  Trump was hilarious and spoke well. He attended the live show that traditionally invites both candidates to speak during election campaigns and raise charity money.  While Trump showed that he could have a sense of humor, he demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that he isn’t afraid to go into the lair of a beast and to slay it directly.  He was very tough on Chuck Schumer when he told him that “because Democrats are so woke, that if Kamala doesn’t win, that he could still be the first woman president.”  Trump also lit up the former mayor, Bill de Blasio, without any pretense of being friendly.  He doesn’t like him and Trump made it quite clear.  It was a very emotional evening, just a few weeks before voters decided on the direction of America, which indicated a Trump win.  And with all the stakes present, Kamala Harris didn’t go, as she has shown real difficulty in doing live events.  Kamala, as the sitting Vice President, had so little faith in herself and her staff that she recorded a video and sent that to the event, which was horrendous.  Kamala couldn’t do that by herself; instead, she brought in a Saturday Night Live comedian to do most of the talking, which was embarrassing.  Seeing how little Kamala’s team thinks of us was a shame.  But then again, it confirms what we have all suspected all along.  That they believe invisible hands control our presidency and that they don’t have to do events like the Al Smith Dinner.  They can win the presidency anyway with tricks and election fraud. 

So, one of two things is going to happen.  The Kamala Harris team is either dumber than anybody thought or completely tone-deaf to reality, and they will lose in a fiery crash.  Or we have no control over our election system and are going to have to take back our country with physical force.  Trump has gone all in and is putting such an exclamation point on the entire race, pulling well ahead of Kamala in early polling, that he has booked Madison Square Gardens as a campaign rally location.   Internal polling shows that Trump has a chance in areas that typically Republicans don’t, and Kamala is so bad that he believes he has a chance.  Trump even held a rally recently in California, where over 100,000 people showed up.  Kamala has struggled with all live performances, including Bret Baier on Fox News.  The more she spoke, the worse she did, and the public could see how phony she was.  This has left the door open for Trump to dominate in public appearances with no real competition for the public’s need for leadership. The choice couldn’t have been more stark.  So Trump has done the boldest thing possible and gone to places where he was at risk of being rejected, and Madison Square Gardens in downtown Manhattan is one of those statement rallies.  For Trump to fill the arena when Kamala Harris couldn’t even come close is more than just spiking the football after a tough election.  It’s a declaration of winning this election in a “too big to rig” fashion because nobody will believe it if Kamala Harris suddenly wins the election when she couldn’t even show up in a friendly setting to do the Al Smith Dinner. 

With Trump booking Madison Square Gardens, he is filling a venue that psychologically has deep roots in the American mind as one of the largest in the world, and as they used to say about New York, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.  And this assumption that New York is off limits to any Republican is being challenged by Trump.  Should things be the way many fear and Kamala Harris did win the presidency with serious election fraud, people will never believe it.  With Trump filling Madison Square Gardens for a rally to hear him speak, when Kamala couldn’t fill a kid’s pool, is a statement to make this election all about too big to rig.  By Trump filling that massive building on the most significant stage in the world, he is essentially showing that he has done all he can do and more to present an opportunity for authentic leadership to the American people.  And they are voting by attending his rallies.  Meanwhile, the real trouble lurking in the background has been exposed, and traditionally, to cover their menace, they have relied on control over the media and public sentiment to hide their ruse.  And under tremendous pressure, they have not been able to answer because Trump has been so good.  Going into the stretch of the election season, Kamala and her people couldn’t answer the call because of the way they have been selling communism to people for decades.  And now it was all coming down around them right in the heart of Democrats’ politics at its core, New York City, first with the Al Smith Dinner, then Trump speaking at Madison Square Gardens.  That the same people who swapped out Joe Biden and put in Kamala Harris think they have that much control over the American people tells you everything you need to know.

Trump, going to New York in the last weeks of the election, says he is confident in the battleground states, especially Pennsylvania and Georgia.  Interestingly, Florida and Ohio aren’t even toss-up states anymore, and Democrats aren’t even trying to maintain the illusion.  This is a stark difference now than it was in prior elections.  If it used to be hard for Republicans to win any election, what Trump has done is flip the script entirely on Democrats, and now the uphill battle is ultimately on their shoulders.  As it looks now, Trump is set to have a blowout win over Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party in general.  They have run out of runway.  Nobody even believes that Joe Biden won his seat.  The Democrat Party has only confirmed the suspicions by the way they have treated him once he showed that he wasn’t going to be able to beat Trump and replaced him with Kamala.  Then, under tremendous pressure at the Al Smith Dinner, knowing they were struggling to sell their message in an honest election, they turned to Saturday Night Live to attempt to sell Kamala to the public.  And it wasn’t working.   So Trump booked Madison Square Gardens to make the election too big to rig.  No matter what happens with digital voting machines and drop boxes, nobody in the aftermath can steal this election.  That doesn’t mean they won’t try.  And if they did present the world with Kamala Harris the way they removed Joe Biden without any votes and tried to give America that mess, clearly Trump has been the president over the last four years, and he was being elected by the people once again.  And that’s why booking Madison Square Gardens was so important.  Suppose they try to give us Kamala Harris on election day. In that case, nobody will believe she won, and a war will be more than merited against forces of tyranny that have seeped into our system of government that can’t be dealt with any other way than by force.  Because we tried peaceful elections, and the Democrats didn’t respect it.

We Are Fighting A Revolution: Celebrities are finally understanding the Banana Republic that we have already become

Don’t mistake the situation; we are fighting a revolution and nothing short.  A lot of celebrities, like Elon Musk and Mel Gibson, are saying these days that if Trump isn’t re-elected, America will fall into a Banana Republic.  I hate to break it to everyone, but we have been a Banana Republic for several years already.  What has happened is that the pretense of communist thought that has always been lurking in the background on just about everything we do has been realized due to its massive failure.  The only thing that has changed is the blankets most people have been hiding under for most of their lives.  As long as they were living well, they didn’t pay much attention, and they could afford to flirt with left-of-center compassions without truly understanding the impact of those decisions.  So long as we were a rich country, we could flirt with evil temptations as there was food on the table, a nice car to drive, and a school to drop off our children.  That is why after Trump was removed from office right after the 2020 election, I sat down and read to everyone from the pages of Cleon Skousen’s famous book, The Naked Communist, because that was the reality of our condition.  And I wanted people to be comforted by that knowledge because what he had to do was nothing short of a Revolutionary War.  We were being tested, and we were going to have to dig deep and find our resolve to take our country back from these evil people.  It wasn’t that we were going to lose it in future tense.  We had already lost it, past tense. When people seem surprised to learn this, they only indicate that they are just now realizing something that has been a fact for a long time. 

Once the smoke clears from all this, history will remember it as a major revolution, and we can only hope that we can fight and win it with a legalized voting process rather than by force.  If you understand the conditions of the American Revolution, it was a lot like what we are seeing today, except the villain is not just an oppressive English rule over some remote colonies, but globalism and its communist intentions by using China as the model everyone else is supposed to follow.  Even a few months ago, Elon Musk was flirting with left-of-center ideas because he could afford to.  Like many celebrities, especially when they are financially well off, they become socially left of center because they have the luxury of compassion, which is one of the perils of success.  How do you keep the “Eye of the Tiger” attitude at winning in life with a full bank account and the realization that there are a lot of needy people in the world, and it makes you feel good to help them by throwing money at them?  It is more of an exploitation of a human need to belong to other human beings than any practical sentiments that might spawn from the exchange.  When people become successful, they naturally want to share that success with their peers so that they will be liked.  And with America’s prosperity, many people have felt guilty for that success compared to other places in the world that are struggling for the basics.  Left-leaning policies are commonly adapted to cover that gap because people feel they have the luxury of excess to entertain those thoughts. 

But when people don’t feel they have an excess, they quickly turn to themselves and their immediate needs for survival.  And that is what we are seeing now ahead of the 2024 election, and people are saying this time, as opposed to at times in the past, that if President Trump is not re-elected as President of the United States, we will fall into a Banana Republic.   Inflation is high, it’s hard for many people to buy gas and food, and their compassion for left-leaning ideas has eroded quickly from 2020 to 2024.  And I said it then, and I’ll continue to say it: COVID scared people because it was the first time that people saw what I have been warning about for years: the intentions of FEMA camps and having their Constitutional rights wholly taken from them.  And to have their jobs taken away, their president, their entire way of life.  It was very traumatic for many people; then, to add to all that an overt stolen election by invisible hands intending to cash in on all the communism that had been imported into our government structure, people were ready to hear what I had been warning about for decades.  Finally, it was natural for them.  And those communist plots are so well entrenched that they believe that in America, the same kind of communist controls were going to be acceptable, which was the whole strategy behind launching Kamala Harris in the first place as an alternative to Joe Biden.  People are finally seeing behind the skin color tricks and the ridiculous notion of the “first female president” when they see what that means during an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News.  It’s silly to think that anybody expected a closet campaign for President to work and that they would have control of the entire media to shape the story.  But they did; it was all in The Naked Communist by Cleon Skousen from the late 1950s. 

To answer the question about voting, yes, we can have this revolution where America retakes its power back from the globalists.  I have been reviewing President Trump’s books on his previous presidency and looking at all the pictures he has put in those books, such as the best-selling Save America which I think is just extraordinary as a work of art.  There are more pictures from that presidential perspective in Melania Trump’s new book too.  What’s unique about those books is that they give the world a seat at the table about who is running things because Trump met them all and knew them.  And what those pictures capture that the conspiracy theories miss is that the people in the world behind the globalist movement are frail and not very smart, which is why they gravitated to communism in the first place as a refuge to their personal deficiencies.  That is what has come out regarding Kamala Harris, who has now been forced to do interviews and abandon the hiding campaign that worked for Biden during Covid in the previous election.  The people behind globalism are not very smart or sinister once you get into a room with them and get them talking.  They are pretty easy to beat.  Their only real weapon has been concealment.  And now they have lost that.  So now that people have confirmed what has been going on with their country, they are willing to fight for it.  This is good because when President Trump is re-elected after what all these evil people have done to them, the American people will reward Trump with the kind of support he did not have the first time around.  Fundamental, revolutionary changes will be made because they have to be.  There must be penalties for trying to take over a country with communism.  And now that people see the truth for what it has always been, without the rosy lenses of compassion clouding their judgment, people are finally ready to do something about it, not just in supporting President Trump for president, but in helping the actions he will have to take to take back our country from the clutches of global communism.  I would say one of the most significant indicators of all this was how quickly the FAA gave SpaceX their permit after the last round of polling came out to show that Kamala Harris had no path to win the upcoming election, and essentially Elon Musk, the guy they had been punishing with government regulation, was going to be their new boss.  So they better stop with the games and give him a permit.  There are many millions of tyrannies like that which impact most Americans, and it’s time to put them all to an end.  And that end will come whether by vote or by force.  But it will come because people finally see its necessity and are ready for a much-needed change.

The ‘Soylent Green’ Effect: Stepping away from the cannibal medical industry of socialized medicine

Cannibals are common in our past, and present.

My daughter and I were sitting in the backyard of her Liberty Township home and looking at the homes that were all around her property. Most were valued at a million dollars each, and we wondered how all those people could afford those homes.  What jobs could they possibly be doing?  And sadly, the answer is that they mostly all work in the medical industry to some degree.  Many of them are in the sales business, whether selling syringes that cost .35 cents to make to a hospital for $200 or X-ray machines and other medical equipment with massively inflated costs.  The markup in the entire medical profession is extraordinarily high, and nobody cares or does anything about it because the cost of all that waste is covered by health insurance.  So, the two industries feed off each other horrendously inefficiently, making everything cost a fortune.  Most of the Liberty Township, Ohio population currently living in those big homes have incomes that can even think about living in those expensive homes because they work in the medical industry or in insurance, making all that funding possible.  There is no way that kids just getting out of college can afford one of those homes, so what is going to happen next to a country that is already struggling with debt, held down by it in grotesque ways?  Well, that’s when I talked about the miracle of the recent SpaceX flight and the upcoming election win of Trump back into the White House, where many of these medical problems will be the subject of his next administration.  And the Kamala Harris people have been trying to use the health insurance issue as a way to scare people away from Trump because, as they say, the President doesn’t have a plan.  Well, the fix to the medical industry is more capitalism, not this socialized medical model we have today that only exists so that people can profit from the prolonged death of people.  I call it the Soylent Green model if people remember that famous movie with Charlton Heston. 

Soylent Green was a dystopian thriller from 1973 where old people were essentially put in a room upon their death and shown all kinds of heavenly images while they died off to give them comfort.  But the moment they died, their bodies were carted off to be chopped up into pieces and processed into food for society to eat.  That is essentially what our current medical industry is; it’s just an extension of the kind of human sacrifice that is common in all leftist cultures, particularly in the Near East with the ancient Canaanites.  The Aztecs, the Cahokians, and the Maya were killing people everywhere worldwide as part of their cultural belief system.  The consumption of human life is to sustain the up-and-coming lives, whether it be in the belief that gods would make it rain for that society or that the old need to be killed off for the young to eat.  The belief system is as old as time, and we have options as a human race with science as a tool only now.  Lots of options.  Using those same biblical references where God wanted the Israelites to kill off the people of the land of Canaan, it was because they were so wicked that Yahweh was disgusted with them.  And we are faced with the same moral dilemma today.  And many of those biblical characters lived for over 100 years.  In some cases, they lived for nearly a thousand. 

Notice how we haven’t talked about STEM cells in a while.  During the 90s, after Jurassic Park came out, people were always talking about cloning and rebuilding human tissue with stem cells.  The sad truth is that we are dealing with a medical industry that has turned to socialized science to produce a Soylent Green effect, and they don’t want to heal people, they want to feed off them.  They want to prolong their deaths so they can profit off their demise as just a modern form of human sacrifice.  Nobody needs to get sick and die the way we currently do.  But even down to the mortuaries, if we apply the same kind of science to the health of our society, a lot of the people who make fortunes off the death of the elderly will suddenly be out of a job.  We have an economy of death that is built on the notion of human sacrifice, and we don’t have to.  Suppose we applied the exact science that allowed SpaceX to land that excellent Super Heavy Booster on October 13th, 2024. In that case, we can also stop aging and heal people back to their prime selves using technology that allows cells to repair a person instead of gradually depleting them.  And the good news is that with a Trump victory, that is the answer to the health insurance problem.  Why would we continue to throw money at a health insurance industry that charges $200 for a little plastic syringe?  When Kamala Harris says she has a plan to help people pay for their medical costs with socialized Obamacare or Medicaid expansion, what is needed is a medical industry with a lot more capitalism in it and the goal of curing cancer and all aging diseases.  Not to sustain them long enough to live a ten-year life of gradually more medical bills paid for by insurance so that younger people can live in million-dollar homes for a while before they go through the same process.  What our current medical industry is cannibalism and just as stupid as every ancient culture that practiced it, which is the foundation of all liberal thought. 

Here’s the other math problem, and Elon Musk knows this all too well.  At this point, for the big picture, we need as many human beings to live as long of lives as we can get them to, and that is not part of the current health insurance discussion.  There is a belief in that same cannibal liberalism that we need to save the earth from those pesky humans, which is part of a mass killing plan that comes up with Big Pharma and the beliefs of The World Economic Forum.  People need to go away so the earth can live; that’s what people like Bill Gates believe these days.  But what we need is the opposite.  We need more people to live longer to colonize space and survive as a species.  The exact needs were present when the Bible was written by people who needed to survive long enough to carry intelligence to the future.  We are in the same situation now.  We are all there are for now because of low birth rates and the fact that it would take a century to produce the number of people needed for this space fairing enterprise.  And we all need to survive for a lot longer lifespans.  So when Trump is asked what his plan is for health care and he says he will plan to bring more competition to the industry, which a lot of short-term thinkers are terrified of because it will destroy the $200 syringe business, the truth is that we have to entirely scrap the old system and embrace a medical approach that heals people and keeps them working longer, having children longer and living as long as they can to transfer their lifetime achievements to future generations more effectively, directly.  The economy will have to change toward invention and preservation instead of decaying human flesh and profiting off the demise.  But first, we have to have courage, elect Trump, and change our entire society away from the Soylent Green model and toward proper restoration and preservation for thousands of years into the future.

What We Learned From the ILA Strike: We need more automation and robots to do the work that lazy people won’t do

Most things that are wrong in our modern economy is the fault of communism; it’s the process of thinking that comes from the ridiculously stupid philosophy of Karl Marx.  And that’s precisely what the International Longshoremen’s Association was during a recent strike, raw communism.  When it comes to these unions, notice they always start with “international.”  These are not American efforts rooted in capitalism.  They are globalist enterprises.  A few weeks ago, the dockworkers at ports of entry for shipping all along the east coast down into the Gulf along Texas walked off the job, which essentially crippled American infrastructure and it was all over pay.  This forced the shipping companies to throw a lot of money at those losers to prevent a complete halt of our economy, which amounted to an average of 4 dollars per hour for each six-year contract with an opportunity to raise wages by 62% over the life of the contract, which previously had an upward pay scale of $39 per hour or 81K per year.  And that is on straight time.  In truth, many of these people are making 300K per year once they had the overtime before this strike, so these dock workers are getting rich off an extortion racket that is essential to the American infrastructure and economy.  Their malicious timing was to perform this strike while a weak president, Joe Biden, was sleeping on the beach before Trump’s next term. They took advantage of the situation while they could and put everyone at risk with a hostile attack on our supply chain. It was reprehensible on a good day and detrimental in their intent and malice.  Fortunately, people learned pretty quickly what the leaders of the strike were up to; they were living in mansions and were not hurting for money for a job that wasn’t that skilled.  In the vacuum of a communist bubble, they had thought themselves something better than what they were, and they took advantage of America for their benefit, and it’s disgusting. 

I don’t like union workers of any kind on a good day.  I think they are worthless slugs rooted in Marxist ideology and have no place in American society.  I know these days, many union workers are breaking away from their leadership and voting for Trump for president, which makes us all friendly under a big tent of politics these days.  But it doesn’t change what they are.  Trump has successfully dealt with unions as a builder, and if you have a good personality, you can deal with reasonable people. Most of the time, union workers think they are doing right.  They don’t think of themselves as communists or detriments to society.  However, as a mob of insurgents who threatened to take away the need for labor if they didn’t collectively get what they wanted, everything they were was born on the pages of Karl Marx.  I think it should be illegal and punishable with years in jail to walk off a job that is critical to American economic infrastructure.  If I didn’t know the teaching profession was so worthless, I’d associate that field with the same sentiment.  But teacher unions have made themselves worthless with their brand of Democrat politics baked into everything they do, which is useless to a conservative family with children attending a school.  From top to bottom, there is no place for communism in our labor force, and the ILA didn’t care.  They wanted to take advantage of desperate people to extract even more money from the process while political disorder was a raging fire.  And what they did will cost us a lot more money in terms of shipping costs.

I don’t respect these ILA workers or most union jobs.  I have seen firsthand how unions destroy a company, and I have been in many fist fights in parking lots myself for breaking strikes in what they call a SCAB.  I, for the fun of it, made a living breaking strikes, one at a company in Cincinnati called Cincinnati Milacron, which is no longer there because of radicalized unions, and a company that built conveyor belts in the 90s for Amazon, well before anybody knew what Amazon was.  I was never one to join with group behavior, and when I disagreed with the behavior, the union stewards wanted to fight, which they regretted.  Many people from my past are ashamed of what they did and what I did to them, just to put it nicely.  I could tell stories about some of these antics that sometimes got bloody for quite a long time.  So, my hatred for these labor unions runs very deep.  To say I hate them isn’t a strong enough word.  But I do have much experience as a blue-collar worker, and I’ve watched the crane operations at the shipping docks who just went on strike, and I can say that it’s an easy job.  Certainly not worth 300K per year.  I’ve done lots of comparable work with cranes and jigs with very expensive hardware, and while it takes some skill to operate, it’s not worth the kind of money these unions extract for it.  They are only paid so much because companies fear through radicalism that all the workers will collectively leave their jobs and cause a work stoppage.  Even though Trump has successfully dealt with unions, everyone who has dealt with them can’t hide the fact that collective bargaining agreements harm enterprises by making them too expensive or taking too much time to do the task.  And very little good comes from a unionized workforce. 

One of those stories I could tell involved three union stewards who thought they were tough guys and wanted to fight me in an empty parking lot near our plant at 3 PM when the first shift ended.  I guess they didn’t think I’d show up, and let me say politely, they didn’t win.  The whole plant showed up to watch the fight, which was very embarrassing for the union stewards.  And that particular plant, once management figured out that the union couldn’t be dealt with, shut down within six months.  I knew it then, and I know it especially now: unions had no place in America, and they were dying.  And that is certainly true today.  Already, robots could do a much better job than many of the crane operators working these docks, and they never call off work or get sick.  Labor in an economy is always needed, but that labor doesn’t need to be a human.  It needs to be intelligent, and with A.I. these days, they are far more intelligent than these dock worker slugs.  I’ve known them from personal experience, and believe me, if you pay them more than $10 an hour, you are paying them too much.  Unions have made themselves worthless, which is the case with the ILA strike.  It only lasted a few days, but it shouldn’t have happened at all.  I would encourage all those companies involved in shipping to invest in robots for their future work.  And don’t waste your time on these slugs that affect our economy.  There is no reason these days to overpay for labor and to throw money at these people.  The ILA strike broke once people realized how much money these employees made.  America was not sympathetic.  They just wanted their stuff shipped to them to arrive.  Globalism has given these international unions leverage through a monopoly status.  And it’s time we change that, for good, with automation and robotics.

The Biggest Thing to Ever Happen to the Human Race: SpaceX performed perfectly with Starship 5

In many ways, the spectacular Super Heavy Booster catch at the SpaceX facility was more significant than when the Berlin Wall came down.  Much more important, politically, scientifically, and philosophically.   It was an awesome display of what human minds can achieve when unleashed, and to say the least, the door to human colonization of space was just kicked wide open.  On an even larger scale, the pages of Karl Marx might as well have been burnt as the most inefficient system of government management ever created.  Capitalism was and will always be the means of managing people and their finances for the future as this incredible event occurred just a few weeks away from the 2024 election, where essentially those are the two choices: abundant capitalism from a sovereign American market or global communism ran by the United Nations.  Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, gets it.  I was probably the first person in the world, including himself, to see Musk turn hard to Republican elected officials as he had in the past been an enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama and Biden.  I chronicled his change by the kind of books he was reading and pointed it out well before he seemed to have figured it out.  Communism doesn’t work, and it was overt communism that had been holding back this fantastic event of the launch of Starship 5 from Boca Chica, Texas, and the Starbase there with FAA permits that were holding everything up with massive government bureaucracy.   Once they finally had their permit, under tremendous public pressure, the FAA had no choice really; the SpaceX team launched, for the first time in all history, the largest vehicle ever to go into space and have controlled landings in two different locations precisely over their targets, all automated and coming off without a problem.  The countdown to launch was exact and on point, and we saw what routine spaceflights over the coming years would look like. 

America has a choice to make that is very positive: elect President Trump and get a whole lot more toward a massively expanding economy as what people saw from SpaceX on October 13th, 2024.  As I watched the Super Heavy Booster carry Starship into space to land in the Indian Ocean about an hour later, the giant thing the size of a skyscraper turned around and landed back at the same pad it had just launched from.  It returned to earth to be captured by the Megazilla chopsticks at the launch pad precisely and smoothly.  I first thought that we needed to work out the property rights issue that would arise as we settled into space.  The world is getting ready to go through a gold rush similar to what America experienced during westward expansion, and the governing principle will have to be flamboyant capitalism to pull it all off.  One of the very first things that the new Trump administration will have to do is protect property rights on the Moon and other celestial bodies.  It will have to be American economic standards that the rest of the world will have to live up to because we will be the first to arrive and set up colonies.  Starship will make moving into space a practical reality and an economy that will quickly outperform anything ever done on earth, including coal, oil, railroads, shipping, and telecommunications.  We are talking about trillions and trillions of dollars of economic value.  But it’s not about making money that matters; it’s expanding human intellect, and the only way to do that is to embrace capitalism and human expansion into space.  A lot is about to change for the better because of what SpaceX did.  The personal journey that Elon Musk has made politically, out of necessity, is one that the rest of the world will now have to embrace—especially communist China.

While the FAA and other government regulatory agencies were trying to protect environmental concerns in the cooling system of SpaceX launches, and California announced a ban of any Elon Musk launch into space from their state entirely due to his political beliefs, China is plotting to carry their communist nation into space with very aggressive plans.  So, America must be the first to enter these vast realms and establish the ground rules.  The moon needs to be viewed as another continent in our neighborhood that is about the size of Africa, and humans will inevitably go there and use it as a staging platform for expansion into the solar system.  All the typical political models of the past are suddenly irrelevant, which is evident behind the Trump campaign in America.  So many people have come together under Trump, including Elon Musk, that a new direction for the entire world has just unfolded, and the proof of what is possible was just shown by the Super Heavy rocket that landed precisely at a spaceport like something from a science fiction concept.  Only this wasn’t fiction; it was fact.  Over one hundred years of science fiction and fantasy were being engineered into reality, and an explosion of intellect was thrust onto the world stage.  All past philosophies, except vivacious capitalism, would be inappropriate for embracing these massive changes. 

I’ve been a fan of SpaceX for a long time now, and I cheer them on with each launch. They have achieved some new and fantastic engineering breakthroughs.  But I did not expect that Super Heavy Booster to return to the launch pad to be captured like that.  And to answer everyone catching up, why do they have to capture that rocket with the chopsticks? Well, that’s because the Super Heavy Rocket weighs 250 tons, and it would add too much weight to the craft to have legs on it like they do their Falcon rockets.  (the Falcon rockets are named after the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, by the way, which demonstrates what impact science fiction can have on making it into science reality)  The chopsticks on Mechazilla (also named after the massive mechanical monster in Godzilla movies) are a means to take that pressure away from the Super Heavy craft and place it back on its launch stand to be refueled and relaunched within hours.  See what’s going on here?  The new Giga factory for Starship there at the Spaceport in Texas is planning to build 1000 Star Ships per year, and launches will go up every day, several times a day, to take massive amounts of payload and people into space to live as a routine part of human existence.  Fueled by science fiction books and movies, the imaginations of many brilliant people have found a home under Elon Musk, and now they need an economic system that can unleash their vast potential.  And communism was never going to be it.  The pressure of performance under the upcoming Trump administration will change the world for the better in ways that most aren’t ready for.  But what SpaceX did on Sunday, the 13th of October, was life-changing.  I would say it was more significant than the moon landing because of what it does to the economy of space.  No longer would countries control the realm of space, but it would be the laws of economic reality, imagination, and ambition.  The human race demands autonomy and freedom to think, contemplate, and invent.  And Starship by SpaceX is the means to achieve the greatness of the human race under the potential of capitalism for thousands of years in the future.  And it all starts with a proven concept, which SpaceX has done.  Now, it needs a political system that can make it happen, and that comes with the election of President Trump.

The Essenes and Ancient Quest for Free Speech: A story as old as time

Another question I get asked all the time is my position on the Jewish people and why I like them so much.  Unfortunately, most people don’t know their history and have their understandings about things defined for them with a modern context, which is usually politically driven and has some bits of globalism in their assumptions.  They have had their understanding of the Jewish people defined by enemies of the Bible and world dictators like what we saw with the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which tries to lump the Hebrew people into one giant heap of the same-thinking people, and that is wrong.  People say to me, “You love freedom and independence, but then speak out about centralized banking; the Rothschilds are Jewish.  The United Nations created the modern state of Israel; how can you support these tyrannical forces?”  And “that Jews typically vote for Democrats.”  The problem is that even with all the information that is available to people, they just haven’t learned what they need to in life to make proper decisions about things, and for me, it’s all about the Jewish people surviving as the most extended group of people from the past to be able to hold it together long enough to bring us information from the far past.  But even among themselves, fighting and disagreements were prevalent, and if I had been around during the biblical period and happened to be Jewish or been associated with the Jewish people, I would have the most in common with the Essene people of Qumran, the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls.  That band of Jewish rebels flocked into the desert for hundreds of years during the Second Temple Period and isolated themselves from the rest of the world.  They were the Tea Party of that time, where the rest of the Jewish people were more like the RINO Republicans of our present culture.

After Jesus was killed for political reasons, the Jewish people tried to lead a revolt against their Roman controllers, and, around 68 A.D., attacked Jerico to put down the rebellion.  By 70 A.D., Rome attacked Jerusalem to chase down the remaining troublemakers, which is a lot like what we are seeing today with cancel culture trying to put Trump in jail and all the members of his former White House.  But this wasn’t an easy task because, at that time, the Jewish people were divided into three basic categories: the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and, of course, the Essenes.  The Pharisees were, of course, attributed to the plotting to kill Jesus with Jewish manipulation of their Roman overseers, and the situation was getting irritating to the regional governors, which migrated into the rebellion of 70 A.D.  After wiping away the last remnants of Christ and his disciples, the Romans were trying to get control of their empire again which had as its motivations the same priorities as the current Deep State is utilizing against any challengers to their authority.  The only real difference between then and now is that the new empire is globalism because technology has allowed for a power grab that we are currently experiencing.  But in the times of the Roman Empire, everything grew outward from the Mediterranean Sea, which was their prime source of communication.  Modern globalism uses communications systems and modern transportation to spread its intentions beyond regional concerns.  But the effort is essentially the same.  And this is when the Romans destroyed the Second Temple and forced the Jewish rebels to flee for their lives.  That left the Essenes on the outskirts of the desert to flee ahead of the Romans, where they sought refuge at Masada. 

Eventually, the Essenes were pinned down by the Roman army, and before they were massacred atop that mountain fortress, they committed mass suicide, and the rest became history.  The Essenes were a very rebellious group, and they had been fighting with the other Jews for many hundreds of years and thought of them as sell-outs to their Roman overseers.  They refused to be part of the typical Jewish society and spent their time as monks relishing ancient scripture.  And it was they who anticipated that at some point, the world would come for them to implement their destruction, so they wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls and hid them in the caves at Qumran, knowing that was the only way to preserve their culture for the future.  But it’s because of them that we have what we do today.  However, they weren’t willing to associate with the Pharisees and Sadducees as one big happy team.  And thank goodness they preserved their history the way they did because we can learn a lot from their past; it’s all happened before.  And if we don’t want it to happen in the future, we need to do something different.  But just calling the Essenes “Jewish” doesn’t begin to tell the whole story.  They thought of their fellow Jewish brothers and sisters as wrong and evil, and they wrote their work in a style called Apocalyptic, where their fantasies were that God would come along, as stated in the Book of Revelation, and put down all their enemies for their betrayal.  The Essenes hoped to have redemption from their persecutors, so they fled to the desert in the first place.  They weren’t hanging around in the Jewish high society in Jerusalem making goat sacrifices at the Temple.  They were rebels of the rebels waiting in the desert for God to come and crush their enemies.  They left that apocalyptic vision in their various biblical and non-biblical writings for the future to read in the many clay jars that corresponded to the ancient text. 

At that time, the Essenes had no way of knowing that the Greeks would preserve the Old Testament in the form of the Septuagint or that, eventually, the Roman Empire, under the weight of their control, would seek to make Christianity the one religion of the empire.  So, they wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls to preserve their view of the world.  They only validated that the Qumran texts were authentic to what we had come to know as the Bible.  There are historical references and religions from all over the earth, but under no other circumstances do we have such a well-documented period or one that corresponds to what the Dead Sea Scrolls revealed. But at the time, the Essenes were not cooperative Jewish sell-outs.  They were rebels, even considered radicals, along the lines of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ living out in the desert in isolation.  Their commitment to intellect can’t be mistaken.  When the Romans invaded and pushed them to flee to Masada, that was one of the first attempts at mass cancel culture, precisely what we see today.  Except for this time, we aren’t trying to hide on the mountaintops to preserve ourselves or hide our life’s work in the caves of Qumran, so the future remembers us.  We are instead voting for President Trump to put a stop to these evil groups of tyrants who are constantly forming empires and trying to kill people they can’t control.  Only this time, we have our nation to fight back with, which describes the conflict of our times.  I am very thankful to the Jewish people for their history and preservation.  If not for the Essenes, there is a lot we wouldn’t know and learn from.  But because of them, we are fighting for our lives in a way that is the first time in history that the trend favors freedom and not oppression.

‘Melania’: A book review, the power behind the President

I said I couldn’t wait to read Melania Trump’s new book, so when it came out during the first week of October 2024, I read it just for pleasure.  Then, I reread it a few more times for the perspective it was trying to communicate because I think of it as something quite extraordinary.  Not just because it is the hottest-selling book in the world right now but also because it was a well-placed October surprise of its own from the Trump campaign, a brilliant strategy to soften Trump’s image to women and independents.  Without question, the purpose of the book Melania was to be a campaign platform from her perspective to say to the world, “Vote for Donald Trump; if things get a little too crazy, he listens to me.  And you can trust me.”  I believe he does listen to her more than anybody has been led to believe.  I’ve had a chance to meet Melania a few times and have wondered about her marriage to President Trump.  Melania is the same age as my wife, so I understand her background.  My wife was also a model, so I knew what that work was like.  Melania took the business to a new level in high society by modeling in Paris and New York, which put her in contact with one of the world’s most successful people, Donald Trump.  But Trump was the age of my wife’s parents, so it would be weird to have the in-laws over for dinner but to have them be the same age as the husband.  So I, along with everyone else, wondered what there could be for a woman like Melania to have a husband like Trump, given the age difference.  And I’d say that this book, Melania, answered all those questions quite well.  And it said a lot more.  However, she is very optimistic about why she married President Trump when she could have had access to just about any man on earth. What attracted her to Trump is that he is one of the best examples of the power of positive thinking in the world.  And as a couple, that is what brought them together.

When he met Melania, Trump collected beautiful women like baseball cards and lived his best life as a New York high society playboy.  However, at that time, Trump was going through a maturing phase.  That playboy life is good for telling your enemies what a magnificent person you are with beautiful women on your arm to convey the sentiment, but it doesn’t make a very good life partner.  In Melania, Trump saw in her a beautiful woman who was very smart and optimistic and who he could partner with.  She made him better, which is quite evident in the book, as what Melania got out of the relationship is a path to inner peace, as she is very private.  Trump also got someone who was very positive, had never been crushed in life before, and who he could bounce off of in positive ways.  She was not a drag on his active lifestyle but enhanced it.  And that relationship carried over into the White House in very positive ways.  President Trump’s White House was very classy, and because of Melania, she maintained an administration that allowed him to be everywhere all the time and still have a White House that broadcast excellence to all who visited and certainly raised the level of expectation as to what it meant to America. 

Here’s a poll for you. They can’t keep Melania’s book in stock at Target. But they can’t give away Kamala’s or Hillary’s. I took this picture the day of this article and watched this shelf all week. Melania’s has refilled several times. None of the other books moved.

Melania is an immigrant who is very proud to become an American citizen and achieve what she has in life.  What’s unique about a couple like Trump and Melania is that older relationships usually don’t center on the value of being bedmates but on actually helping each other achieve common goals.  Marriage has been so trashed by the vile elements of our present society that very few people in the modern media can relate to what a healthy relationship even looks like.  So they assumed Melania slept her way to the top because she was beautiful.  But that was not the case.  Melania Trump is not just another pretty face.  She’s very classy, sophisticated, independent (fiercely), and she’s brilliant.  And again, knowing she’s the same age as my wife, and I see it in her eyes, Melania is still a rebel fashion model from Slovenia who has always nurtured a spark of defiance that she never put away.  She has raised her son Barron and is now an empty nester with a husband who has been harassed and nearly killed many times now. After the FBI raided her home and invaded her privacy, she decided to be more of an active part of the campaign.  And with a fashion sense for the extraordinary, she waited until now to pitch herself for the White House, to finish what she started in her own right.  The book Melania is a job application, taking readers through her many experiences and asking voters to give her a chance to do much more in a second term, which she wants to do.  Trump isn’t dragging her along.  Melania Trump likes helping people, and now, with a grown son, she is ready to be a mother to America and bring health to a country that could use pure love and care. 

This book was distinctly different as I read Melania, which is put together like many books from former first ladies I have read over the years.  Because Melania is such a unique person, it was interesting to get her report of some of the world’s most extraordinary events, especially in the final year of their first term, from the perspective of the White House, the year of Covid and election fraud where Melania showed that rebel side of herself more than a few times.  By the time you add the assassination attempts against her husband, the lawfare, the impeachments, the January 6th incident, and her first-hand report on most of the influential people around the world, you come away from this book with a real sense of something extraordinary going on in the world.  And Melania Trump, through her good looks and grace, has been able to elevate the human race in ways never before.  It all points back to the power of positive thinking, as represented by Melania Trump’s Be Best initiative.  Melania wants to help the world be better and looks forward to President Trump’s second term in the White House.  She isn’t being drugged into it, but I would say that if not for Melania, President Trump would still be Donald Trump, the entertainment mogul and splashy media personality.  He’d be successful.  But he wouldn’t have ever been president.  Nor would he be trying to do it again.  Melania Trump is the secret sauce in the background with very high standards.  She wants those high standards returned to the United States because she genuinely loves America as an immigrant.  And she wants to bring that love to many people for all the right reasons. Her book, Melania, is an extraordinary collection of thoughts and a strategic necessity for the Trump campaign in the final weeks of a long election journey.  And I can’t recommend it enough.

Its Just Another Communist Trick: Vote No on Issue 1 in Ohio

Probably the most asked question I get is on Issue 1 in Ohio during 2024, the gerrymandering issue proposed by a group called Citizens Not Politicians.  I haven’t heard anybody from any side on that Ohio Constitutional Amendment adequately explain what Issue 1 is.  Maybe they don’t know or are afraid to say it because they might incite inflammatory rhetoric.  I’ve heard countless hours of proposals advocating for Issue 1 and against it, and I suspect that the Citizens Not Politicians group themselves don’t understand what role they are playing in the attempted destruction of America.  People who favor Issue 1 in Ohio during 2024 are the same kind of people who supported the legalization of pot last year and who supported drive-through window abortions after Roe v. Wade went down in flames at the federal level, so that should tell you all you need to know.  However, there is some menacing intent behind Issue 1 that everyone should be talking about, and that is the communist intentions of the proposal, which essentially states that corrupt politicians are gerrymandering electoral constituency to favor one party over the other.  And that this Issue One proposal will make everything more fair in the future.  The accusation is that once they gain power, politicians can keep power by manipulating congressional districts and other boundaries on a map to favor a powerful party. And in Ohio, Republicans have super majorities that don’t look to change anytime soon.  Democrats just aren’t very well-liked in Ohio, and it has nothing to do with gerrymandering, but that they are a terrible party that does not represent what people want.  So the gerrymandering has turned out to be an excuse for the rejection of Democrats in Ohio, and the hope is that if they can redraw some of the districts, more Democrats might have a chance to get into political office. 

So when I say that this whole process is a communist scheme, I mean it in that it’s the philosophy of Karl Marx that has given birth to it, even if the perpetrators have no idea what’s going on. Making things “fairer” sounds nice. After all, we can’t trust those pesky politicians. They are the evil bourgeoise, an aristocratic class of our betters who do everything out of greed and malice.  But in truth, what the Citizens Not Politicians group is proposing is to attack our style of government itself and replace it with another committee of worthless bureaucrats to make decisions about congressional districts under a mask of fairness, but an intention of eroding our representative government in its essential design.  We already have a system that does what they propose to do: elections.  And they are blaming Republicans for the lack of Democrats in elected positions because people don’t want what the Democrats are offering.  But to avoid that issue, the Citizens Not Politicians are offering a 15-member committee of 5 Democrats, 5 Republicans, and 5 Independents to make the decisions our elected representatives should be making.   And, of course, when they try to make it appear fair by including Republicans, they aren’t talking about MAGA Republicans, as the trend is pointing, but Liz Cheney types and soft-shelled tacos like John Kasich.  What is being proposed by Issue 1 is ridiculous and a blatant attempt to change our representative style of government to benefit insurgent personalities who can use just another worthless committee to weaken our constitutions at the state and federal levels. 

I will vote no on Issue 1 in Ohio.  You must always be suspicious of any government activity that proposes more government to solve the problem, and in this case, why would we add 15 more people to perform a task that our elected representatives were elected to perform because we can’t trust them to do the job?  If you don’t like the job your politicians are doing for you, then vote them out of office.  But look here what is really behind this gerrymandering strategy. In that case, the real issue is a political platform that people rejected with their vote, which is how Republicans got so much power in the statehouse to begin with.  That is the nature of politics: to gain and stay in control.  Democrats are looking for a way to erode that power without trying to win over voters to their terrible position.  So that is what is behind Issue 1 and the intentions of Citizens Not Politicians, who publicly state that they are bipartisan.  When, in fact, their intentions are straight from the pages of Karl Marx and would be more suited in communist China than in a freedom-loving America.  When the word “fairness” gets tossed around, it is always the word “communism” because, essentially, it’s the same trick they use in China to sell communism to the public, such as in “The People’s Republic of China” where it is stated that communism is for the people, not those craving centralized government.  In the case of Ohio, the goal is to weaken our representative government and put people in charge under the mask of fairness to erode the power that people have elected into place because of their preferred Republican policies over Democrat monstrosities.  The desire for government to grow is the entire point of Issue 1 in Ohio and to weaken our constitution along the way.

I hate to be that guy who is pointing out communism these days behind every darkened hallway, but that’s what it is.  Chinese communism is the strategy of the globalist world, and it is intended for every corner of the globe.  And because it’s a big no, no word in America, they disguise it with names like Citizens Not Politicians, to make it sound like something else.  But what it is is garbage, maliciousness, and an attack against our constitutional republic and representative government as it was intended.  If people want to win more seats, then win more honest elections and stop trying to rig them in all kinds of ways to put communists in power in ways that the elected government would prevent.  For the bad guys, it’s far easier to control five Republicans on a committee than the randomness of hundreds of politicians who are always coming and going.  The Citizens Not Politicians group wants to put the gerrymandering issue into the same approach we have on our state school boards, and we’ve seen what a failure that has been.  What Issue 1 offers is just as stupid.  But what’s worse is their intent and willingness to lie to themselves and everyone else about what they want.  They are crying for communism and a big nanny state where the government becomes the parental role of society.  The message here is that those mean, greedy politicians are out of control, and the “people” need to take back control over them with another worthless committee.  Ignoring that we elect those politicians in the first place, why do we need another committee?  See the problem?  And the intention.  All communist insurrections start this way by making it sound like “the people” are taking back their government from the greedy politicians of the aristocracy.  And some people are too stupid to know better.  But we set up our government with this whole decentralization of government in mind, where elected representatives “represent” the people.  And that is the trick at play here; the bad guys are pretending to represent the people when the people were always in control.  And they picked Republican supermajorities.  And Democrats have no answer, so they are supporting Issue 1 to erode our constitutional system, which is yet another grab for power and an expansion of government toward perpetual ineffectiveness so that people eventually will give up on it altogether and fall to the whims of communism and the skirts of a jealous, government mother.
