Election Fraud in 2024: If you are still counting votes, you are cheating

This is why, from now on, we have to have one day of voting on paper ballots with a minimum mandate of voter ID before being allowed to cast a vote.  If you are still counting votes two weeks after the election, as many places still are, you are either stupid or cheating.  This is also why we said in 2024 that we needed to have the election be too big to rig, which it was for the presidential races.  However, if election fraud were eliminated, then the margins in the House and Senate would be much better for Republicans.  Many of the Democrats who have won or are finding late votes from mail-in ballots that are still being counted all this time later are only because of election fraud.  And in Pennsylvania and other places where, they are trying to steal seats away from Republicans, such as McCormick’s seat, by counting what they say are “all votes,” even those cast illegally.  And they aren’t trying to hide it anymore because they are so desperate to attempt to hang onto power.  Or get power through illegal means.  Never underestimate what people craving power will do, too.  They can never be trusted, even though that is what we have all assumed all this time, that one of the most important and complicated things we can do as a country, which is vote and count the results in real-time, can be left to the honor system.  Because of that, we have had a lot of fraud in our elections, which is now more apparent than ever.  We got Trump back in the White House because the election was too big to rig.  But we could have had more Republicans in the House and Senate if we watched things closer, and God knows what else that passed that otherwise wouldn’t have if only we had better control over our elections.  If given the opportunity, there are always people who will cheat.

But something even worse showed up during the election of 2024, where the obvious bias was clear for all to see.  It was in the reporting mechanism when the results were known well beforehand, but the media decision desks would purposely slow-walk the results.  On election night, which is not unusual for me, I usually have televisions and radios on in every room of my house as I monitor results nationwide.  I watch everyone.  But this year, because of all the pressure, I specifically watched Charlie Kirk’s group as they did a live podcast that covered over 24 hours of results.  Charlie’s case, along with Jack Posobiec and others, began around 3 PM on election day and didn’t stop for a break until 6 AM the following morning.  But they had the best coverage in the country and were making calls on election results several hours before the mainstream outlets were.  I also watched the WarRoom coverage with Steve Bannon and John Solomon, which was a little behind Charlie’s team but way ahead of everyone else in the country.  And that was because they were looking at the actual numbers as they came in, which is not hard precinct by precinct in this modern age.  That’s why it’s such a phony deal to have anybody still counting votes after all this time.  In most cases, you should have a voting system that counts votes instantly and within minutes.  On election night, most of the results from a large portion of the country were known hours before the rest of the country saw those results called on the various media outlets. 

I had Fox News in the background while in the foreground, I was watching Charlie and the WarRoom on various computer devices, so the differences were grotesquely obvious, and I felt sorry for people who were watching the one source because the evening would have been a lot more stressful.  If people had known that Trump would win at 8 PM that night, while some polls were closing on the West Coast, it would have been a bland night for the media, which counted on election night ratings to carry them through the year.  To some extent, they need a little drama to keep people tuned into their coverage.  But in most cases, the slow walking of the results was a slow admission to something that became very obvious later; they had all been wrong and were reluctant to admit to it, and hoped that if they stalled the results, by some miracle, election fraud might save them from looking like fools.  But this was the first year I made a point to watch because of what happened in 2020, where the betting odds went to Trump, and they stole the election in the middle of the night in five different locations around the country where they just stopped counting.  This time, nobody was going to take their eye off the ball until Trump gave his acceptance speech, so election fraud wasn’t going to save the media who had been working against Trump even though they had the answers right in front of them, they didn’t tell the public until much later in the night.  In some cases, three to four hours later.  There was a lot of talk about Elon Musk having an app on his phone that showed the election results hours before hand, as he was with Trump that night in Florida, and they were watching the results together.  Musk knew what I was seeing, and it was apparent as early as 6 PM on election night that Trump would win. 

Most of the outlets wouldn’t call a state for Trump or any of the Senate and House members before the AP did, and the AP is radically antagonistic against Trump and MAGA in general.  After the previous election, I interviewed with the AP at a Trump event at the Ohio Capital building, and it was audacious how much they were pushing the narrative of their results that Trump essentially had to accept the results of the election because they were the essential kingmakers and had called the race against him.  And that he and his supporters had to take the results.  That was a very tough day, and I wondered at that time if we would ever be able to fix it; those were the dark days right after the 2020 election, before Christmas, before January 6th.  And people with me were already furious at the election results and the cheating that occurred.  When January 6th happened a few weeks later in Washington, D.C., it was not a surprise because of what I saw leading up to it.  However, the media outlets led by the Associated Press believed they controlled the country’s direction as a kingmaker, as they called it or didn’t.  So in 2024, they were reluctant to give up that status even though the election had become too big to rig and they could not contain the results for theft purposes—an important lesson for the future.  We never want to let our guard down again on these people because even as we speak, they have only one way to gain and keep power: cheat.  And wherever the results are not known on election night, you can understand that the reason is not for any other reason but that the cheaters are trying to steal an election, and they fully expect to get away with it.

Matt Gaetz is an Excellent Pick for Attorney General: People can have their faces melt all they want, but justice is coming–it has to

First of all, I think Matt Gaetz is an excellent pick for Attorney General.  He has proven to be one of the few in elected office who is fearless and ready to do the right thing for the sake of it in Washington, D.C.  To many, that makes him a joke, because he is an uncompromising figure.  This sex scandal talk is just an attempt to paint him with some controversy in having a relationship with an underaged girl; we are dealing with a Biden administration where gay people had sex and filmed it in government buildings.  Outrage is a false alarm with that Beltway culture.  First of all, I don’t believe the accusation; it is similar to the kind of high school politics that Trump has been a victim of, where witnesses lie entirely about the content in an attempt to drive a national narrative.  People have seen enough now to know how to distinguish that kind of thing.  People lost faith in politicians upholding some moral standards a long time ago; what they want now is people who will at least do the job they were elected for, and Matt Gaetz has certainly shown that he is.  Because of Gaetz, Speaker McCarthy was removed, and Speaker Johnson is there now.  But how would Matt Gaetz be any less severe than the radical Eric Holder and the more recent lunatic Merrick Garland?  The humor is that there are some standards to apply that would make Matt Gaetz appear like a fringe candidate for the highest office of the Department of Justice.  To my eyes, Matt Gaetz is one of the few who have committed to the rule of law, which is why many of those Beltway types have been trying to get rid of him from the start.  No, I think Matt Gaetz is a great pick and shows a deep commitment to fixing the Department of Justice from its present state, a weaponized organization that is one of America’s greatest present domestic enemies.  People have arrived at that conclusion based on what they have seen. 

I think picking Matt Gaetz is a negotiating move.  That doesn’t mean that Trump doesn’t want him, but he might want to use Gaetz to draw fire while some of his other picks benefit from less scrutiny.   As Attorney General, Matt Gaetz is the most controversial of all Trump’s picks for his cabinet.  So I could see trading Gaetz out later for a more conventional or less controversial pick, such as Mike Davis of The Article III Project. The message here is that a member of the WarRoom podcast will be the Attorney General because many wrongs must be corrected.  The Department of Justice has been very disreputable, and it’s time for all that to change.  Don’t forget what the Department of Justice under Biden did to their political enemies.  Much of that wrath was thrown in the direction of Trump’s most trusted supporters, his former White House members, who formed the WarRoom during his last year in office to help with his re-election.  Several of them were thrown in jail by Merrick Garland, and Trump himself was harassed ruthlessly.  Incredibly, he survived, given the amount of power and unchecked menace that the Merrick Garland Department of Justice utilized even up to this last election.  And what’s worse, so many Republicans sat by and allowed it all to happen, hoping that Trump and his team would be gone for good.  We still have the utterly unconstitutional holding of the January 6th prisoners from 2021 to deal with.  There is quite a mess to clean up; it will take a personality like Gaetz.  And perhaps, the way Trump thinks, people will be so outraged by Gaetz that they’d be happy to get Mike Allen, who may not be as controversial on paper because fewer people know him, but he’s every bit as committed to the rule of law and the protection of that standard under the Constitution.

But there is no going back to normal for the Beltway culture, where they commit significant crimes and then sweep them under the rug to be protected by favors and nonsense. An Attorney General who keeps the investigations out of Washington D.C. and then will act to destroy any challengers to their easy money shake and bake system of international extortion and sinful enterprise.  It’s not a matter of revenge for Trump, but what did anybody expect?  Trump was let down by Jeff Sessions during his first term and then later by Bill Barr toward the end.  Trump has had a lot of time to think things over, eight years, and he will make this Attorney General position count.  It’s one of his most essential picks, and he won’t waste it on a typical Beltway politician.  So even if it turned out not to be Matt Gaetz, there are plenty of names just as good that Trump will put in that job.  The expectation is going to be complete reform because Trump and the people loyal most to him have suffered terribly under previous corrupt AGs.  People voted for this kind of change; they want control of the Department of Justice, not what they have seen from that position over the last several decades of vast disappointment. 

Yes, Matt Gaetz is a firebrand who runs a podcast by that same name.  His political brand is all fire and brimstone, the way that the WarRoom audience expects it.  And knowing the situation the way I do, Matt Gaetz would never trade away his ability to use that firebrand to do good in exchange for some sexual temptation.  Many other people in Washington, D.C., would, but that isn’t the kind of person that Matt Gaetz is. Instead, people hate him because they know what they have done themselves and are guilty of.  And they know they won’t survive if Matt Gaetz is the Attorney General.  Few people will, and that’s the way things need to be.  Actually, for those who have been counting, there are a lot of Democrats in Trump’s picks, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy, the kind of people that many people would squawk at previously as “liberals.”  And that would include Trump himself.  But Matt Gaetz is the red meat that makes putting up with all those liberals worth it and is part of the deal Trump has with his voters.  Trump might have softened up the Republican party with a bunch of converted Democrats to make the tent bigger and much more challenging to beat, winning the black and Latino voters.  But he is doing all that to get to this election cycle’s real meat and potatoes: controlling the Department of Justice and making the rule of law Great Again.  On that front, we have a target rich environment where corruption has been ruling the day.  And Trump has been a victim of it for more than eight years now.  And now it’s his time to fix it for good, and he won’t waste that pick again knowing what he does now.  And people can have their faces melt all they want.  But, they brought all this on themselves.  Having Matt Gaetz or another WarRoom personnel heading the Department of Justice is the point of winning the presidency, and people gave Trump a mandate that he will not throw away to preserve a system that is obviously out of control.  And there is no way to reform them now, only to get rid of them and prosecute them ruthlessly, as they have shown themselves to be if left unchecked.

Robert F. Kennedy Will Be Great As the HHS Secretary: Punishment for Covid has to happen

Why would anybody be surprised about Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy?  I’m doing a lot of “I told you so latelys” because it’s well deserved.  But I warned everyone about Covid before it hit, while it hit, and what had to happen in the aftermath.  A lot of people are guilty of murder and we had a government that clearly wasn’t representing us.  And they attacked the Trump administration by walking into his office and telling him he had to shut down the economy, or else he’d be responsible for millions of deaths.  And that action did cost lives, a lot of misery, and an election that gave us four years of illegal activity, where everything Joe Biden signed was wrong and unlawful.  And we’re supposed just to let it all go? No, I don’t think so.  Instead, we needed a regime change so we could address the issue, and the apparent defense by the bad guys was obviously to run out the clock on what they think is a statute of limitations protection on what was essentially the most explicit murder plot in the history of the world that was entirely motivated by power and greed.  All that was done has to be cleaned up at a minimum, but picking Robert F. Kennedy as the HHS Secretary is even more than that.  RFK wrote the book on this case, which I reviewed and discussed extensively.  The crime, of course, was that the gain of function of a SARS virus known to bats to make it transmissible and highly contagious was not an act of nature.  It was deliberate terrorism and Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates, along with a lot of other people, have their knowing hands all over it.  And someone has to pay for all that, we can’t just let it go.

Even if there wasn’t an RFK by a victorious Trump administration being put in place, Rand Paul isn’t done with this issue either.  He needed Republican control of the Senate and to eliminate the stonewalling Mitch McConnell, both of which just happened, to be in place to advance this cause.  Many senators have become very protective of big pharma, and they weren’t going to put those companies on the chopping block and hold them responsible for what they did in 2020.  Rand Paul is ready to prosecute the case, and the evidence is extensive.  This issue isn’t going away, folks.  And people are going to be hurt to learn just how badly compromised our government was during this period.  And as good as Trump ran a good campaign that vastly won the majority vote, prosecuting the government for its Covid creation and response to a global crisis they created, and the coup against Trump, that they used Covid to destroy human civilization was on the ballot.  People want their slice of pie on this one, and they’re going to get it.  It was never an option to let this whole thing go and anybody who thought they would get away with it was lying to themselves.  What the NIH and CDC did to the world must be managed and understood so that it can never happen again, and that means that people who work in those government agencies have to be accountable, and nobody set up the case better than Robert F. Kennedy in two of his books, The Real Anthony Fauci, and The Wuhan Cover-up. I think those are two of the most influential books written in this century, and everyone in government should read them in preparation for what is coming on that front. 

But the more significant issue, as if such a thing were possible, is dealing with the hijacking of our government by several corporations, specifically, in this case, Big Pharma.  Much of the media that we have now is funded by Big Pharma as well; Fox News is almost exclusively a giant Big Pharma ad, so, of course, they don’t want to see a disruption in their grip over our elected representatives, but how did you think all these politicians became rich in office?  They were purchased.  Many didn’t have two nickels to rub together with a dime in their pocket before they arrived as elected officials in Washington, D.C., and that culture needed to change from the start.  During Trump’s first term, he wanted to get out of funding the United Nations-controlled World Health Organization, which started all the COVID problems but continues to this day to attempt to hide progressive globalism behind health policy, and they have to be dealt with harshly.  And who better to take them on within the Trump administration than a person who likely knows the most about all these relationships and how destructive they have been?  Yes, elections have consequences, so we must fight every day to preserve as much of their integrity as possible to hear the will of the people and do what they want done.  Because of what happened to them with Covid, they overwhelmingly voted for Trump, who had said beforehand what he would do with Kennedy as a pick.  It’s not like Trump misrepresented himself.  The bad guys did bad things, and now they must be punished severely so that it never happens again.  And Big Pharma has to be removed from running our lives for their lazy profits. 

I’m certainly not an anti-corporation guy.  I love capitalism, and corporations are forced to be the best they can be through competition.  But that’s not what many of these corporations tied to our government are all about. Instead, they use the power of government to shield themselves from innovation and expectations of competition.  They use the power of government and regulation to destroy rivals.  And impose on the public such ridiculous proposals as mandated vaccines and horrendous deals of prosecution where these companies are not liable during our lifetimes for mistakes they have made.  And keep in mind that they are that overt about scandalous things. What do you think they are doing about stuff they never expect to get caught with, such as the poisoning of our water supply or cheap and accessible ingredients that make their margins better at the total cost of society?  Once you take a radical anti-human agenda and apply it to the government monitoring of our food supply, no wonder so many are detrimentally sick.  You can’t deal with health insurance costs while leaving a system preserved that purposely makes people ill and never gets better to fuel their demise for the profits of a lazy Pharma company.  I have also pointed out that cures for cancer are available right now, but this entire Pharma industry has no interest in that because they make money off giving people the medicine they don’t need for results that ultimately will destroy them.  And those parasitic companies have an entire profit portfolio that is built off the demise of people, not their continued health.  And until there is a significant shakeup, and I mean a MAJOR one, where lots of people are put in jail and even processed for capital murder, the correct changes to the entire system won’t be possible.  That’s why Robert F. Kennedy was the best man for the job, and the people voted for Trump to get that result.  So it has to happen.

Spiking the Cannons: What the bad guys want to do on their way out the door

The issue is not one of contention.  The Administrative State operated illegally; it was never their government.  America was always supposed to be a civilian-run government driven by civilian oversight, and perhaps for the first time in the republic’s history, people could vote for a trustworthy representative in the Executive Branch.  Not that there weren’t good presidents before; there have been a few here and there.  But there’s never been someone like President Trump, nor have there been circumstances in which he was elected over 12 years of complete change in the federal political cycle.  And looking back on it, it had to be that way.  It wasn’t fair to him, but many things needed to be put on the table, and it would take a personality like his to achieve what needed to be done.  Given everything that we know about Trump and the schemes to keep him off the ballot, the obvious conclusion was that they all knew, they knew the elections had been rigged all along and that if Trump were alive and on the ballot once the election happened, he’d win.  This is why nobody is shocked this time except for people who listened to the mainstream media, which is often propped up by pharma companies and makes all their money talking about the horse race of politics rather than the actual things that needed to be done.  I never had any doubts that Trump would win, only that the lingering belief that Mark Twain had about elections might prevent us from ever functioning as a constitutional republic, that if voting were important, they’d never let us do it.  We had to have a standoff and learn if elections mattered, so we watched this one closely, and the bad guys had to hide in the corner, and Trump won easily as a result, setting the table for perhaps the first time, a genuinely civilian-run government. 

Even in 2016, when Trump won the first time, there was an assumption that came from Mitch McConnell that said, “campaigns are campaigns, governing is governing.  So let’s talk about getting rid of all this ‘drain the swamp nonsense.’”  If politicians said something on the campaign trail, they were expected to drop it and play team sports once in office.  I have seen this process up close as I know several officeholders and know personally the rebellious streak in them.  But I see how tough it is to balance their personal management methods with the need to build a party majority, fundraise, and deal with the press, usually made up of young Marxists fresh out of college.  It’s a tough gig on a good day, so it’s very rare when a person like Trump comes along and just steps over the entire system to declare that a civilian-run government is in charge because he’s independent of that previous social network and the rules that shape it.  And even with all the horsepower Trump personally has, it took 8 years to topple that system that Mitch McConnell was trying to preserve, and their culmination of victory was essentially January 6th, 2021, when they declared themselves winners from a rigged election system that displayed that they were in charge.  They sent Trump home and into exile as a “thanks for playing” kind of attitude and a warning, “If you try to come back, we’ll destroy you.   Have a nice day.”  From there, we saw the kind of person they wanted to give us for civilian oversight of our government, Joe Biden, picked because he was compromised and a failure in every way of the word’s meaning, and putting him in the White House through election fraud and the rules of Covid, a bioweapon created by the DOD under an unsupervised communist country of China for ground cover, and we were told to mask up, stay in our homes to socially distance, take a mandated vaccine given to us by big pharma companies who were running our government by making all the politicians rich, and we were to shut up and like it.  Or, we’d be destroyed like they were doing to Trump and his members of the White House, who were being punished as a warning to stay away forever. 

I’ve often said that Trump’s book Save America is remarkable as it has captured this period of history.  It starts with a mug shot of Trump, who was being prosecuted in Georgia.  And it ended with Trump being shot in the face by an assassin in Pennsylvania.  It has a lot of interesting global perspectives in between, but the book wonderfully shows something that started before Kennedy’s assassination and the many cover-ups that have gone on since to establish one basic premise: that this Administrative State has rejected civilian oversight and that they are in charge.  When pressed on the issue, the CIA unleashes another UFO story in an attempt to convince the public that there are big, scary things in the world that only the credentialed class of administrators who work in government are qualified to answer.  So we were to be good little boys and girls and just shut up and listen without question and trust what they wanted to do.  That lasted until January 6th, 2021, when people were getting wise to this game, and some decided to raid the Capitol and remind the government who was in charge. 

Many of those Administrative State types are planning to do whatever they can to spike the cannons now that Trump has been restored to the White House.  They never had a plan for this period in time and hope they can hold back in some way the levers of power that Trump will use, which they have been managing in dangerous and destructive ways.  But like all captured assets, the spoils of war go to the victor, and nothing can be done to stop what’s coming, as much as the bad guys would like to cover their tracks.  We are talking about several thousands of years of human evolution culminating in this unique 2024 moment where, finally, free people could push back against the world and tell them that they were in charge.  This goes far beyond President Trump but extends into the philosophy of government and what it is supposed to do.  Is it to limit people so that an elite class of aristocrats can get rich and stay in power over the vast majority, as Washington, D.C., is now?  Or do we free people from that assumption and give everyone a chance at success, which Trump’s return to the White House truly represents?  People voted for self-government, and an opportunity to live their lives not crippled by government bureaucracy, and that is the freedom we have been discussing now going back to even before the Hebrew people escaped the rule of the pharaoh under Moses to face a fate even scarier than tyranny, a self-fulfilled prophecy than a mind numb existence under the rule of an authority figure.  The losing administrative state would do its best to cause damage on its way out the door.  Because there isn’t anywhere to hide, they will become hunted in the coming months.  And it will be easier for them if they behave themselves because nothing they do at this point will change their fate.  History has set the table for this event since the beginning of time, and that time is now upon us.

We Just Had A Revolution, and Democrats Lost: Don’t cry about it now that justice must be enforced

You can hear it in my voice if you go back to the first videos of my Rumble account, watch my face, and study what I was saying.  Especially after January 6th, which I commented on right away before the sun was even up in the aftermath, I noted that many of the federal people at the Capitol were lucky more people didn’t get hurt.  I talked to many people about an open revolution in those cold, dark months of 2020 and 2021.  I told them to follow the rules of our republic because if you break the rules, you can’t use the rules to gain power again without significant violence as a contributor.  And I’m very proud of those statements because look where we are.  I was so upset about that election that my wife and I went into the desert of New Mexico and many other desolate places out West, and while I was out there, I wrote a book, which I finished in a snowstorm in Roswell, New Mexico.  It was a very dark time, but I preached peace to many people who were ready to pull the trigger, hoping to get to this day when Trump had a chance to get back in office.  I always saw the path, but I did wonder if the country would hold it together long enough to make it.  In many ways, because people held their cool, we were able to expose massive corruption, which we now have to deal with.  But to those Democrats who are now saying that they want a revolution in the streets to oppose President Trump, let me tell you, we already had that revolution, and it was Election Day.  We had to put up with what the Democrats did to us, which was terrible.  And what happens next is the only peaceful resolution.  Anything less would be open warfare against the Deep State, and they aren’t prepared for that.

That look on Joe Biden’s face when Trump returned to the White House was priceless.  The machine screwed over Biden himself, and he became a Trump supporter in the end.  So what we saw was a complete rejection of the globalist, Democrat party communist machine.  And Trump is doing precisely what he was elected to do: pick people for government positions that will do what the people want.  And they have every right; they always did.  I always said before you grab your guns, use every method available to avoid violence.  Vote and protect your vote, and see what happens before you turn to the streets to overthrow your government with violence.  Take back your government and get control of it.  And I said this to many thousands of people at a time when it didn’t look like we’d ever get another chance.  It wasn’t apparent that we’d ever get a chance at another election.  But we made it to the 2024 election, and the results were dominating; not only did we win the White House back, but also the House and Senate, along with the Judiciary.  And Republicans picked up more leadership positions nationwide, from state houses to governors.  The Democrat platform was rejected everywhere, so there was never a more boisterous mandate for revolution than what the 2024 election provided.  And if I were members of the Deep State and the Administrative State, I’d consider myself lucky that you still have your heads.  It’s fantastic that we live in a country of rule of law where such a thing is possible and that people who do such evil things can at least get an honest day in court instead of being shot in the head by a pack of angry voters who had their lives ruined by Democrat politics.  As they look at the Trump government picks, they should consider themselves lucky. 

Trump returning to the White House and sitting down with Biden, with the Bidens both smiling, was a very narrow tract of victory, and many things had to happen correctly to make it occur.  But I walked everyone through it, and now here we are, and it happened.  As Elon Musk says, this will be the most consequential revolution the world has ever seen.  Nobody has to get hurt, and you can see that Biden is quite well aware of how the chess game has played out.  The Obama terrorism lost, the globalists lost their control over the people of America, and they get a chance to at least have an honest day in court, whether or not they deserve it.  But letting everyone off the hook was never an option.  Slow-walking Trump’s agenda by the RINOs in the Senate and everywhere else isn’t an option.  They all must accept Trump as our representative and the value of the vote behind what put him back in power.  Or, engage in open warfare much worse than anything they saw on January 6th.  Many in the Deep State pushed and shoved people toward hopelessness, hoping to topple our country into chaos essentially to hide their crimes.  They were hoping for the downfall of our country so they would never have to pay for their crimes, much the way things went with the French Revolution, where their society fell apart, and they fell under the control of an emperor as a result.  Many in the American government wanted to see the same thing happen in America.  But we stuck with the power of the vote, and now we have the opportunity of many lifetimes.  And we’re going to use it to full effect.

And what the Democrats lost most was their ability to manipulate the public with bottom-dweller sentiment.  As I have said all along, if you keep Democrats from cheating, they can’t win.  Now that we’ve survived this revolutionary period, we can reform voter laws back to ID and paper ballots and cut the globalists out of the process.  And that will give us more House and Senate seats in 2026, furthering the majority.  People will like what Trump is doing, and it certainly won’t cost him power.  So don’t fear elections, embrace them.  Make them fair and honest and use them to avoid open warfare.  But don’t be stupid and expect people to have as much patience as they did in 2020.  That was a once in a millennia kind of thing.  People were agitated, and their tempers only cooled because Trump could operate an exiled government from his home in Florida while we sorted out all this other stuff.  But now that we have survived it, people want justifiable revenge, and anybody who wants to survive well into the future should give it to the people without holding back because justice has to happen on many fronts, and Trump, as our representative, was sent to the Executive Branch of our self-government to get control.  Not to yield power.  I am most proud of my role in keeping people from turning to violence when, in truth, they had every excuse to do so.  They didn’t take the bait, and now we live to see this extraordinary time.  But as far as discussing a revolution from Democrats.   People won’t tolerate the kind of crap we’ve seen for the last 8 years of open warfare from them against us.  The election map for 2024 has a lot more red than blue, so Democrats are a vast minority.  And people are no longer willing to give them the benefit of doubt.  And I would remind them that they should consider themselves lucky to remain alive.  Only in a tremendous constitutional republic like America can such bad people get a day in court, to be fair.  The bad guys are lucky that America is so friendly and just.  But still, the criminals have to pay for the many crimes they committed.  There is no forgiveness.

When I Tell You Something, Shut Up and Listen: Getting rid of The Department of Education

Of course, the crazy lunatics on the political left are upset, and locally, after this 2024 election, they are very angry with me.  And that’s fine.  If those derelicts are mad at me, I consider that a job well done and am very happy about it.  But don’t say I didn’t warn everyone.  I’ve been pointing to this 2024 election for a long time as something inevitable, and it happened just as I said it would, to nearly every detail.  There are people out there who get paid a lot of money who didn’t come close to my predictions, and I get it; there is a lot of anger out there.  But tough tootles.  Maybe from now on, when I tell everybody something, they’ll shut up and listen.  There is a general mental problem with people who support left-leaning causes, and that is a belief that they can alter reality by controlling the message.  And anything coming from me that deviated from a message they wanted to be communicated was forbidden so they could give themselves the illusion of changing that reality.  That’s how so many angry people arrived at this moment, and it’s their fault.  All the cheaters of the 2020 election did was put off the needs that were very well present throughout the 2010s.  It reminds me of how the radical labor union types behaved back in my No Lakota Levy days when I’d go on WLW radio to talk about how our yard signs were being stolen.  The crazy belief was that the tax increase would pass if people didn’t see the message.  And because I would talk about them stealing the signs, I was to be eliminated so they could control the message.  Well, that didn’t work out too well for them.  Fifteen years later, I advise a lot of people about a lot of things, and I do it for a lot of tricky topics.  And I do it for free because it’s not even my most valuable skill even though I am usually right about everything.  For me, it’s like helping a child open a gallon of milk, but they just aren’t quite strong enough to do it themselves.  And as it stands now, after that 2024 election, everyone would do well to listen carefully. 

After my experience with the Lakota school system, especially after the superintendent debates centered on school board member Darbi Boddy, I backed off the school board discussions.  I realized many years ago that Lakota was going nowhere, as with public education in general, as John Dewey proposed originally.  There was too much Marxism in it to survive in a country like the United States.  I’ve tried to play along all these years to be supportive, but I told important education officials back in 2010, before Trump became a politician, that the future of public education was School Choice.  That’s how Doc Thompson and I met on WLW radio and became fast friends. We were together with some big-name politicians at a School Choice conference, and things were pretty obvious.  Around that same time, Doc and I both worked on promoting the Atlas Shrugged films, and they had all kinds of ridiculous labor problems where the same anger that always followed me around was draped all over those movies, which was so bad that none of the actors came back for all three movies because the blacklisting was so intense.  But by the time they got to Atlas Shrugged 3, and they covered the schooling of the children in the Atlantis colony hidden in the Colorado mountains, I understood the anger quite clearly and knew that the political left was just going to have to be drug into reality one way or another.  I warned them there was no way to preserve their public education model, and they could choose to listen or be destroyed.  But they were not going to control the message. 

I’ve had countless people beg me to be a school board member for Lakota schools or to do some other political job, and I have stayed out of that business because I knew fighting them from that direction was useless because a day of reckoning was always coming on the horizon.  And that time came with the re-election of President Trump back to the White House after trying to stall the effort in 2020 with a stolen election and an attempt to destroy him utterly.  Thankfully, he had the guts and the brand to endure everything they threw at him, and he emerged victorious on election night in 2024 in ways that seemed to surprise many people, including supporters.  But I wasn’t surprised one bit.  And here’s what’s coming next: the Department of Education that started in 1979 is going to be eliminated by President Trump.  He would have done it during his first term, but it would be controversial, so he would wait until his second term.  Well, this is his second term, and he will do it early, so the smoke will clear by 2028.  But it will happen, and nobody can do anything about it.  That was ultimately the solution to the education problem in America, by getting rid of the kind of worthless losers who were causing all of the issues through institutionalism.  The Department of Education never should have centralized education policies lecturing the states through federal funding to drive a ridiculous teacher’s union wage rate and grotesquely liberal education topics to brainwash our children into the next generation of Democrats. 

It was all the people advocating hate now who have been lying to themselves as if the future where they had to pay for all their misdeeds over the years would never come.  It has arrived.  And regarding education, School Choice will replace The Department of Education; money will follow the student, not the zip code.  Schools like Lakota will have to operate cheaper and competitively with their neighboring school districts because parents will have the choice of where best to send their child.  And the labor unions are going to lose control of the liberalized education process, which they should never have had in the first place for a glamorized babysitting service that isn’t worth the vast amounts of money we spend on it only to get a bunch of purple-haired losers who would vote for Kamala Harris so they could have a right to an abortion, do drugs, and work from home yielding to some virus made in a Wuhan lab by global terrorists to control the global economy and to obey without question what the white coated losers of the administrative state said to do.  Nobody on this topic probably values education more than I do.  But what we have been doing since Dewey came up with it and using the government to fund it has been a disaster in every way it could be.  And it’s time for it to end.  I told everyone this day was coming, and they didn’t listen.  Maybe you’ll shut up and listen for your own good the next time I tell you something.  As to the people who have worked against me all these years and smeared my name so often, all it has done is motivate me to destroy them.  I enjoy fighting, and I love to have someone always to fight.  I would be bored if I didn’t have enemies in the world.  So, I am not warning some of these people for their own good.  I want to see them crying in pain because I hate them.  If Jesus wants to turn the other cheek, have at it.  I don’t.  And I will enjoy all the face-melting that will go on in these next few years.  But never say I didn’t try to warn everyone.  They chose not to listen, hoping the day would never come.  But it has. It’s here.  And there is nothing any of them can do about it.  They showed themselves for what they always were, and now they must pay for it.

Why its Great that Elon Musk will be the World’s First Trillionaire: When the rich get richer, everything tends to get better

It had to happen

I personally love wealthy people; most of the people I know well are very rich, and any hatred of them comes from lazy people who have accepted too much Marxism in their lives.  There is freedom that comes from wealth that gives them something very valuable, and I have found that some of the best people in politics are wealthy people who do those jobs without needing to because they don’t use politics to give their names meaning.  They participate in politics because they want to help in some way or another.  However, not all wealthy people are out for the same things.  And given how many billionaires were being led behind George Soros to support progressive, globalist policies, they are a factor in politics that can quickly erode the self-management of a country that doesn’t have significant wealth to express their points of view through a vote.  The Trump people, not just his family, but also people like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who have just been named to lead a branch of government called the Department of Government Efficiency, have a freedom most people don’t have because of their wealth that allows them to be objective on the role government plays in social life, and I trust them a lot more than I do people desperate to live their lives off government work.  I have met Vivek Ramaswamy many times, and one of those times, for the first time, came through an introduction with the Great Nancy Nix, the auditor of Butler County, Ohio, and I was able to hear from him very early in this political process what his motives were.  At that time, he had earned roughly a billion dollars privately as a CEO of several biotech companies, and he wanted to do something to help when he saw trouble forming, so he volunteered to get involved after participating in an event that involved me.   I believe him because of our private conversation even before his book Woke, Inc. was published.  I have watched Elon Musk undergo a process similar to Vivek Ramaswamy over the last few years.

Many government workers are still working from home, a continued Covid policy. If you work from home, your job isn’t needed.

One common thing about people who have a lot of money is that they are rich for a reason, so they tend to make money off changes in social conditions by the nature of investments.  Elon Musk was projected to be the first trillionaire before the election of 2024 when he suddenly became Trump’s best friend.  That is because of the value he created in his companies, not because he is making more money because of the government.  It was widely reported that Elon Musk made 30 billion dollars of net worth one day after the 2024 election, and many are pointing to his role in politics in the closing months of the Trump campaign as the reason.  But that’s not the case.  President Trump went through a similar investment recovery period when he was severely financially strained with prosecutions through many lawfare campaigns against him, and things were looking pretty bleak, even for a billionaire as he has been.  But then his social media platform Truth Social went public and Trump actually gained back much of the wealth that had been stolen from him during this harassment process, gaining a few billion dollars in value.  And that’s why it’s good to have wealthy people on your side in these constitutional debates: they can afford to fight those battles where others just can’t.  And many self-made people are independently rich in this incoming Trump administration, which gives them the freedom to do the hard things because they aren’t making their livings off the government.  They are free of that burden generally.

The method of attack by global Marxists has been to capture the means of production so that people can be controlled by their incomes.  And that has been going on to a large degree and shown itself to be most ugly during the darkest days of the Biden administration.  People were able to see just how dangerous a government run by such people indeed could be, and there were many billionaires committed to Marxism, like George Soros, who have used their wealth as a weapon of social policy.  The same could be said of Larry Fink of BlackRock and his relationship with the Federal Reserve, which has been very unhealthy and destructive.  Fighting these people requires other people with similar or more wealth to even the playing field and preserve a republic form of government that regular people can maintain.  And that is clearly what Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, seeks to do with an alliance with President Trump.  That is a relationship that few saw coming even a year ago.  I was at a lunch in February of 2024 with many progressive people were raving about the new Elon Musk biography they told me I should read and would love it.  They were making a case for why people left of center should be running the world and that Elon Musk would pave the way for that new view of the world.  I read the book and saw a much different person than they did in Elon Musk.  I saw someone trying to solve a complicated problem that few were wrapping their minds around; his problem was, what should a government on Mars look like?  What kind of government on Earth could send people to colonize the solar system?  Early in his public life he did vote left of center, for people like Biden and Obama.  But he had been going through a similar change as Trump and even Vivek Ramaswamy.  And I wasn’t surprised at all that as the election came, he was with Trump on Election Night and had realized that if Trump didn’t win, the human race would regress into Marxism for the foreseeable future, and humanity would never get to Mars. 

So it’s good to have rich people on your side in these political battles.  It takes more than money to win these things, of course.  And I wouldn’t trade my life for any of theirs any day of the week.  Wealth comes in many more forms than just money.  But money is a tool, and it’s good to have people on your side with the right tools to battle.  The fight is to free humanity to the most significant degree from those who want to impress upon ordinary people an aristocracy of value for the sake of a class structure that features the egos of very insecure people.  Logically, people like Elon Musk, and I know from Vivek Ramaswamy, that freedom from normal social conditions through wealth provides a perspective encompassing larger ideals.  I am sure Musk could care less about his money; he isn’t driving around in fancy cars and a loose playboy life.  He wears his Occupy Mars t-shirt and sleeps in a shack, more or less at Boca Chica, Texas, because his goal is much bigger than just making money.  I believe him when he says he will use his personal fortune of over a trillion dollars to get mankind into space, every last dollar of it.  He is totally committed to that endeavor. Yet, as this Trump administration fixes many things that are wrong in the world, they will make a lot more money because they already have investments that will increase as the economy improves.  But that is not what they are after, and I can say that with some personal experience with those types of people.  They would be the first to say that they want to see more people have better lives, and if a good economy can do it, then it would be fantastic.  But whatever it takes to improve the world, Elon Musk, I am convinced he wants to do it for mass society, because once that occurs, humanity will be prepared for the colonization of space.  And through the Trump administration, that is the best path to the kind of government that could sustain a Mars colony, with capitalism fueling the endeavor. 

I didn’t know at the time that this would be a big part of history. I like Vivek!

Why Trump’s Economy Will Be Explosive: Too many government rules hold back financial opportunity

There has been a lot of consternation over the notion that Trump can wave a magic wand and fix so much in the economy so quickly.  It was as if everyone was delusional about wanting to return to 2017 when everything was going well and that Trump wouldn’t be able to do anything now, in 2024.  Well, here’s the thing: the inflation, the recession, and the depression that we have been experiencing are all a direct result of too much government tampering in the economy by people with too much micromanagement.  In general, the more freedom people have, the more that money flows, so when a government is too top-heavy, the flow of money is significantly reduced.  This is how economies have been since the beginning of time, and much of what we have been experiencing has been artificial, created by a government that micromanaged people too much.  The government under Biden was much more interested in micromanaging people and their behavior rather than letting the economy measure behavior and fuel the interests of various people.  So, when we talk about stagnant economic activity during the Biden years, it is because too much policy was intended to control behavior rather than supply happiness.  When a government takes the role of a parental figure, the entire society retreats into the state of a child dependent on top-down rule rather than self-initiated creation.  And in that way, an economy falters.  When we look at poor people around the world and study why they have a lack of money supply, the root cause will always point back to too much authority government getting in the way of happiness, which then is measured by economic activity.  The flow of money is directly proportional to a society’s level of freedom. 

The Biden administration was obsessed with micromanaging every aspect of people’s lives, and ultimately, when they study why they fell out of favor with the American public at every level of society, it will be because they were too involved in people’s lives, such as telling them they had to buy an EV car and that gas-powered cars would be a thing of the past, not because the market decided, but because of some pin-headed politicians worshiping some climate god of liberalism.  There were brownouts in very liberal states that got rid of fossil fuels in exchange for renewables.  While Biden staff members openly had sex in government rooms and recorded it, and many were promoted as transexuals, the illusion was that sexual behavior was the kind of behavior that would be tolerated and that decadence in the social rules would replace the yearning for economic viability.  People would forget about the cost of food and energy if they could have reckless sex without being judged by society.  And when those priorities became the standard, massive social unhappiness resulted.  And money did not flow properly.  It was the nanny state that Democrats put forth, going back to Obama.  Micromanaging social policy through regulations and then trying to distract mass society into sexual deviancy as a replacement for happiness turned out to be devastating, as reflected in economic output.  Of course, the communists in charge globally tried to hide the bad economic numbers with phony jobs reports and interest rate management by the Fed, but in truth, the damage was well done before Biden went too far and came up with a vaccine mandate where everyone would have to participate in buying medicine with a horrible alliance between government and big pharma. 

Trump’s economy will quickly supercharge the world because it will be fueled by pent-up energy.  Immediately, the amount of power held back in Biden’s war against fossil fuels will stimulate economic activity within weeks of taking office.  And it is that easy.  The desire of the Biden government to connect to the World Economic Forum socialists was artificial.   People want the lights to come on when they turn them on.  They don’t care if the energy comes from fossil fuels, solar, or wind.  They want things to work when they want them.  So, the conditions we have today are artificially bad due to government tampering with our power needs, not for practical reasons but policy rooted in crazy beliefs.  Trump is going to cancel the Paris Climate Accord and many other Democrat politics that directly carry over into economic behavior, and quickly, the money flow will return to the rate of necessity.  Only during year one of the Biden presidency were we told that the last gas-powered Mustang from Ford had been produced.  Who wants to rev up the engine of an EV car?  That doesn’t sound very cool.  For many, revving up a powerful car’s engine and attracting females sparks a lot of economic activity.  A lot of money is spent on clothes for a date and colognes. Going out to dinner.  And ultimately mating practices.  Something that the EV car robbed everyone of.  It just wasn’t the same kind of exciting experience.  When you artificially constrain supply with too many rules, the cost structure of everything will be disrupted, making money flow much less on a social scale.  Trump’s economy will flourish by eliminating the artificial rules created to control human behavior and allow market values to determine social happiness. 

These are rules for economic activity that are always true.  Financial stagnation is a choice, and in America, we had that choice robbed from us with election fraud in 2020.  The hope was that after just a few years, Americans would accept these new economic standards of replacing happiness with parental micromanagement.  And that’s not what happened. Instead, people held their breath and waited for their next opportunity to make a change, which came from the 2024 election.  People can’t wait to have the nanny state gone so they can buy cars, spend money on going out to eat, and enjoy Christmas again.  Putting up with a micromanaging government was not by choice but by capture, and people never accepted the new rules.  They planned to replace that government with one that reported to them rather than vice versa.  And under Trump, the fossil fuel economy will flourish, leaving the rest of the world committed to goofy climate change, unprepared, and at a severe market disability.  And it will happen quickly because the pent-up desire has always existed.  The EV mandates were never going to work, and most of the economic downturns we have been experiencing were by choice and not driven by market necessity, but the role that government played in the lives of free people toward social concerns shaped by sentiment, not logic.  When you hear someone giving a big engine Mustang some gas, the roar of the engine says a lot of things: that the owner has a powerful car, that he’s potent as a sex partner, that he will work hard to make a family, cut the grass on Saturdays, and build a new door when his woman wants one.  Because the powerful car says he wants to be influential, he’ll spend a fortune projecting that sentiment.  What the Biden administration did was cheapen all that with micromanagement.  And they replaced all that with sexual heresy, which took away the value of all the mating customs.  Which were drags on economic activity brought on by too much government regulation.  So when all that is taken away, the economy will flourish and do so explosively.

How To Get Rid of Jerome Powell: One thing we must have is civilian oversight of America’s money supply

This is something that has never been resolved in America, and it has always been headed for a collision course.  The question hasn’t been asked well for over a century now, because we allowed too many presidents to be picked for us by the established two-party system controlled through international finance and foreign tampering.  But if you heard Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell the day after President Trump was elected, you get a sense of where it’s going.  President Trump was the people’s pick, as it should have always been.  But not since President Jackson has a president been willing even to challenge the authority of the centralized banks, and based on what we know about how they have mismanaged our affairs, it’s long overdue.  However, this problem goes back to Alexander Hamilton and his great fights with Thomas Jefferson, who advocated for a strong federal government and a centralized bank to run the money supply.  Many will say that America would have never gotten off the ground without Hamilton’s policies.  However, to Jefferson’s point, Hamilton only made it so that a country of free people would always be ruled over by those who control the money supply.  So, this problem was never solved in the American Constitution and has been kicked down the road to our present time.  Ultimately, this is one of the reasons that Trump has so much support.  However, in regard to the Federal Reserve and its creation in 1913, it might have had good intentions.  Someone has to manage a country’s money supply; it can’t just be ruled over by chaos.  But, there must be rigid civilian oversight of the economy by the nation’s people, which was never the intention of the Federal Reserve. 

To answer the question for all the legal people out there, I’ll be happy to provide it; if there is going to be a Federal Reserve, it must be managed by the Executive Branch, a president picked by the people to do their business.  A president does not just appoint someone to it to appease the people; the Executive Branch must manage the money supply.  Even if the Constitution doesn’t spell it out word for word, the spirit of the Constitution indicates that the president has the responsibility for the nation’s security, and nothing makes a country more vulnerable to foreign attack than control over the money supply.  However, when a reporter asked Jerome Powell if he would step down if President Trump asked him to, Powell quickly (too quickly) said no, that his term was in place through 2026, and that was the end of the story.  The implication is that American Presidents are free to deal with other issues in running the nation; they can ask for more money for a military or crusade to save a turtle trying to cross the road in California.  But they are designated by mandate to stay out of the money supply, and we are all supposed to sit on the edge of our seats and wait for the Fed Chairman to tell us whether or not the economy will have interest rates raised or lowered based on what the central banks decide in Jackson Hole at the annual retreat that the Federal Reserve has there to discuss these matters.  As I said, the intentions for creating the Federal Reserve may have been good, but it has turned out to be catastrophic for our national security and sovereignty.  Even though Trump appointed Jerome Powell during his first term, Trump’s lack of control over him quickly caused the President to consider firing him.  However, there was much ambiguity over whether Trump had that right.  So Trump needed another term to deal with the issue, which was taken from him with the insertion of Biden in the Presidency.  In many ways, to preserve these central bank-run institutions like the Federal Reserve, they don’t want a meddlesome president asking too many questions. 

But as often happens, the people who end up in these positions are bleeding-heart liberals who support globalism, and the Fed has dug itself into a deep hole that it hoped nobody would ever get into the details enough to manage.  But this is the heart of the argument of Ron Paul and his End the Fed campaign that has only gained steam over the years.  There has been an increasing desire to attack the premise of Alexander Hamilton’s fiscal policies and to start all over, and that is where Trump is heading.  The Federal Reserve is not independent of American management; it is to be ruled over by the Executive Branch.  Not just appointed, then turned loose like some dog in the field.  But managed and fired should they stray away from the needs of the country they are to serve.  One of the reasons that the Broadway play institutionalists advocated for Hamilton during Trump’s first term was to attempt to prop up Hamilton’s stature as a Founding Father and tear down Thomas Jefferson and his Anti-Federalist ideas.  They didn’t just pick that Founding Father to feature out of thin air, they had a point to it.  It’s that same preservation of institutional value as opposed to civilian oversight behind Jerome Powell’s refusal to step down should Trump ask him to once he returns to office in January 2025. 

Over the last few years, a lot of smart cookies have asked the right questions about the unreasonable imposition of central banking connected to international finance that has eroded our sovereignty in the background, and they aren’t going to let the Fed stand unmanaged, as it has now for over a century.  Jerome Powell and his predecessor Janet Yellen, who was the economic advisor for Joe Biden and is a contributor to the World Economic Forum in Davos, have made terrible financial arrangements with Larry Fink of BlackRock to funnel money printed through Modern Monetary Theory and washed through Wall Street 401K plans that have allowed those prominent money managers to buy up many of the largest corporations in the country which were spelled out very well by Vivek Ramaswamy in his book Woke, Inc., And Vivek is going to be a part of the Trump team in the White House.  So, this issue is coming back to the table and is not in favor of the globalists.  Larry Fink, through his arrangement with the Fed and Jerome Powell specifically, should have never gained the kind of power he has over people, which is quite evident if you’ve read Larry’s ridiculous letters to the CEOs of America that are worth less than used toilet paper.  But the intent to run America through its money supply and force companies to hire more liberal CEOs to appease the gods at the Federal Reserve through Larry Fink and the gang of Democrat-minded thugs from Wall Street, going back to the accusations that were leveled at Hamilton, to have the nation’s money ran by speculators and gamblers for the moral impurity of womanizers and con artists, which was undoubtedly the case.  Those kinds of people need civilian oversight, not just a cosmetic president, and Trump was not put back in the White House to be just an ornament.  No, a real standoff will happen, and the rule of law says that the elected President must manage the money supply for the nation’s security.  And for Jerome Powell, he doesn’t get a vote on the matter.  If Trump wants him gone, he will go because people are backing Trump and putting him in the White House to do this job and many others.  And it’s either this, as was evident by the recent landslide election against all odds, or the physical removal of people like Jerome Powell by an angry public.  And I don’t think he wants that.  So the way to get rid of Powell, just for those paying attention, is to exploit the irresponsible management of money through Larry Fink and Jerome Powell’s involvement in that scam, with full knowledge of what he was doing, which ultimately was criminal in destabilizing American sovereignty.

Some of the Worst People are the Nicest: When murderers, scum bags, and thieves use kindness to hide their crimes

Many people are being very nice to Trump now that the election is over.  Trump gets it and so do people who enjoy my book and my statements on one of its most essential parts.  It’s the gunslinger in the bar metaphor that I tell the story of dozens of times a week to countless people.  It’s how people of real value must navigate the treachery of day-to-day life.  When you have something other people want, no matter what it is, you will find that they are very friendly to you.  But when you have nothing they can take, they are mean to you.  Generally speaking, when people are mean to others, the targeted personality doesn’t seem to have anything that the other person deems valuable.  But when you’ve been through all that Trump has, and so many people have openly come out against you, and suddenly you have power, well, that’s when the bootlickers come out and clean all the dust off your shoes.  If you managed to watch Saturday Night Live right after the election, for instance, where for years they have worked to destroy Trump in every way that a media enterprise can, you’ll see a good example.  However, after all their efforts, Trump was elected president again, showing the SNL crowd that they were no longer the popular kids.  And they want to be, so they are trying to appease Trump so as not to feel his wrath, which they fear, because they are guilty of trying to destroy him and hope that he’ll forget about it.  And that’s the case with just about everyone who has worked against Trump over the last 8 years.  Suddenly, they are being very nice to him.  Why do you think that is, other than my metaphor on the gunslinger at the bar with his back-to-the-room example?  They don’t try to kill you when they hope they can get something out of it.  In many ways, when that assassin’s bullet almost hit Trump in the side of the head on July 13th, 2024, it wasn’t just Trump who was saved; for America, it was the best thing to ever happen to us.

If you’ve ever been involved in murder cases where you investigate or interview the suspects of a murder, you see this kind of kindness all the time.  Usually, when people kill someone, they have regret and wish they could go back and do things differently.  They aren’t usually like Aaron the Moor from Shakespeare’s play Titus at the end of the story just prior to being hanged for the many crimes he committed during his life.  Most criminals have regrets and become very friendly, hoping that someone will give them a second chance, not because they are good people but because it’s their only option.  I saw that kindness at a jail I toured recently where all the inmates were very nice, as they were looking for a chance to change their circumstances and used kindness as a bridge to opportunity.  Many of those people were killers and rapists, and worse in many cases, but they were very nice while speaking about their current condition.  The situation would have been much different if they were on the other side of a gun in the comfort of their own initiative.  I had the opportunity to interview people involved in a horrible murder where they cut up their friend to kill them and put them in a garbage can so that they could hide the body.  They didn’t even go into trouble to take the body very far.  They put the trash in the back of the house and left it to decay for weeks before anybody noticed.  The cause of the murder was a dispute over drugs, which they were all on as they occupied a drug house together. 

When you talk to people like that who have essentially ruined their lives with horrible life choices, they have regrets, and they suddenly become very nice because it’s all they have left.  But don’t let that deceive you.  And Trump gets it.  His idea to help the Democrats pay for their massive debt after the election isn’t kindness; it’s leverage.  He says to them, “We beat you, and we still have money left.  You lost, wasted over a billion dollars, and you are still millions in the hole.  So here’s a little money, don’t say we weren’t nice to you.”  I’ve been saying it for a while since that assassin attempted killing in Pennsylvania. Trump won a lot more than his life that day.  He won the cooperation of all the horrible people who have been planning his death or, thinking about it, who are now on the wrong side of history.  Trump would do far better if he used that to his advantage and turned to what he does best: sell positive ideas to people to see vision for the optimism that it is.  Since he did that, Trump has been unstoppable.  That is how going into his next term will be for him and America.  Trump proved everything he had to prove; many people have eggs on their faces.  And to Trump’s benefit, his enemies have no choice but to be nice to him. 

The trick with this understanding is that many people want to be liked, which gives terrible people leverage over the outcome.  Because of the human need to be enjoyed and loved, criminals have learned over time that the best way to appeal to others when it’s their last resort is to turn to kindness for relief from conviction.  Appeal to the judge, appeal to the jury, appeal to everyone you interact with so that they might doubt that you did all the horrible things you did to get in trouble.  Mass society is going through that with Trump after an unquestionable election in which Trump was the most influential politician in the world.  That’s what we meant when we said all along that support for him needed to be too big to rig.  And that happened: Trump will win the popular vote by an astonishing millions of voters, pushing his final count into the upper 70 million.  A ceiling that Democrats really couldn’t hit with anybody on their team if they wanted to, under any conditions.  That leaves all of them who have plotted and schemed against Trump and the MAGA movement in general with no choice but to be nice to the victors and hope that compassion will give them some second chances.  But make no mistake about it: they hope for a second chance that they don’t deserve, just like those murderers I referenced.  All of them participated in cutting up their friend and putting them into a trash can but regretted it.  But the deed was done; there was no coming back from that horrible evening under the influence of a drug-induced frenzy. Flawed life choices last.  And the only path to a second chance is kindness.  So, in that regard, some of the worst people in the world are the nicest people.  This is a lesson many people would be wise to observe and preserve their senses from an assault of villainy hiding behind a smiling face.  Never, ever, trust it.
