Vivek Ramaswamy’s Ohio Campaign for Governor is all About Family First: Getting rid of red tape in Liberty Township

Vivek Ramaswamy discussing taking the red tape out of a red state!

It was good to see Vivek Ramaswamy again.  Mark and Leslie Williams had a nice, private event for him to talk about the campaign status and the going-forward steps and probably the best thing I have heard in politics so far was what Vivek said about Ohio, that it was a deep red state, but that it would not be the state of red tape.  That his run for governor was committed to restoring Ohio to the nation’s greatest status in wealth generation among all the states.  And given his understanding of things and personality, I think it is very much possible.  The moment I found out that he was running for governor, I was excited about it.  And since he launched his campaign just a few months ago, he has turned his efforts into a nice running machine that will cascade into many exciting opportunities that many have never thought possible.  Vivek Ramaswamy understands, and as I have watched these GOP events develop over the years, there was something very different going on that was exciting —a festivity to it that was not politics as usual.  But before we get into all that, I have to say, Mark and Leslie did a great job with the event, including the fantastic food table set up with finger foods that they had in the middle of the gathering space, established for this meet and greet for Vivek.  I took a picture of what was left of it after a few hours, but it was quite something to see.  All the little things in the event were done with just a little extra flair that makes spending time with people on a Saturday night of political talk more enjoyable.  And once Vivek gave his speech, took pictures with people, and had to get on to the next thing, people stayed around talking and catching up because they didn’t want to leave such a wonderful occasion.

When this started it was quite an exhibition. It was a lot of food!

I was one of them, I was happy to see so many people I like to talk to all in the same place.  I enjoyed seeing most of Nancy Nix’s family there, mom, sister, aunts, grandchildren, her husband Bob, we all like each other naturally, and it was nice to catch up under those conditions.  Everyone knows I love Nancy Nix; she is one of the best for a reason, and a lot of it is that she has a nice and loving family, which is evident to everyone who can see.  I had just spent time with one of my favorite trustees, Todd Minniear, a few nights before.  With his wife Jamie, they are a couple of my absolute favorite people and they were there.  Thomas Hall and his family were there too.  His mom and dad are good, solid people, and if you haven’t noticed, there is a pattern to my accolades.  I often judge the value of people by the kind of families they come from and are creating for themselves, and for me, it was a great evening because I had a break from the broken dysfunction that often comes with associating with a lot of people from diverse backgrounds and social structures.  Here, almost everyone shared the same strong family values that I greatly appreciate, making it a great evening for me.  My wife doesn’t always get to come to all these events.  When we launched the campaign event for Vivek a few months prior, she had to miss it due to other family commitments that we had.  However, this time we were able to coordinate things in a way that allowed her to attend, and she enjoyed herself as well.

As usual, I always enjoy seeing George and Debbie Lang when they are in a place where things go as well as the Williams event allowed.  Where the accommodations are set up thoughtfully, so that people can easily discuss essential political matters.  As a critical Senator in Ohio, everyone wants to talk to George, so my time with him is often spent with me looming in the background to discuss as many important things as possible.  However, in a large group like that, it’s not easy to convey everything in brief statements, as time may not allow.  But when people wonder why I like George and Debbie so much, it’s that core value system again. They are a great family that really loves each other, and I value their sincerity, both with each other and with the world around them.  When people wonder why George Lang is good at his job, a common theme among those who have come out in early support of Vivek Ramaswamy for Governor of Ohio is that they see the state in the same way they see their families, with love and care.  And those are their primary political motivations.  No matter what personal success they have had in life, and I know that is the case with Mark and Leslie Williams too, who hosted the event, they want to put that same effort into making Ohio the top state in the country, and the world, for people to live in and raise good families.  If you are a family-first kind of person, knowing these kinds of people makes sense.  And I enjoyed myself for all those reasons.  One of the primary values that everyone I knew shared at this event was a love of family, and they all did just a little bit more than average to have good families. 

I enjoyed catching up with Darbi Boddy.  People have been wondering about her since her time as a Lakota school board member concluded in legal gymnastics.  People have asked me a lot why I like Darbi so much.  She is a good mom who talks to God frequently.  And since she left the Lakota school board, she has been hanging out with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago.  My wife noticed the pin she was wearing, and it was the same one that she had.  Let me say, Darbi is doing some great things that will manifest into goodness in a few years.  She is more deeply engaged in politics than ever, and I am very happy and proud of her for all that she has accomplished.  A common theme I have been discussing is that many people are unaware of Darby: she loves her family, and her involvement in politics is aimed at helping more families emerge in the world. I have a lot of respect for her hard work in this regard.  I like her kids, and I like her husband.  I want to see people like that succeed in the world.  I also enjoyed catching up with Bob Hutsenpiller.  We have a long history together. Similarly, he and his wife have been together for a long time, and his business has been a family affair throughout his long career.  And he’s just a good person trying to make things just a bit better in the world.  My joke with Bob is that he usually comes to these political events with work shoes because he is always on construction sites and has worked hard all the years I have known him.  And I would say that was the common theme among all the people I mentioned, and many more that there isn’t enough time to discuss.  But Vivek Ramaswamy makes it easy, just as President Trump has; these are all people who value family, and they are treating their state and country with the same love they pour into their families.  And it shows.  I met Vivek’s parents and got to know his wife at the event we had at CTL Aerospace, and I was happy that he recognized me out of all the people he has spoken to over the last several months.  But Vivek loves his kids.  He loves his wife.  He loves his parents.  And anyone who is that caring about the people in their life can show the same love to the state they are running.   And for me, that’s why I care so much about the people who were at that event.  The common theme was family first, even if nobody explicitly stated it.  You won’t catch any of the people I mentioned in some sex scandal where they are cheating on their spouses for power and prestige.  In most cases, everyone at that Vivek event already had power and prestige.  But what they were fighting for was something much more important: the power of family and the values that come from it, and carrying that attention over into political office, where it can genuinely make a significant impact.  And for me, being around such people is the best evening I could hope for.  I’m very much looking forward to Vivek Ramaswamy being the governor of Ohio.  That will be a good day!

The Killer Vance Boelter: They are a lot more common than people would like to believe

I know the type, the kind of killer that Vance Luther Boelter turned out to be.  Notice how that story dropped out of the news so quickly.  That is the preacher turned assassin in Minnesota who went to the home of state representative Melissa Hortman and killed her and her husband, and also went to the home of state senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.  No relation to me, and fortunately, they survived the assassination attempt.  Boelter had a long list of people, all Democrats, whom he intended to kill, and fortunately, many of them were not home or easy to find.  So the damage was limited to these mentioned; it could have been a lot worse.  But the question that emerged out of all this was that Vance Boelter had been hired to kill U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar by Governor Tim Waltz, and that the former vice-presidential candidate had a relationship with this killer, and that there might be some merit to all these loose facts.  So here’s what I think, based on a lot of experience in this matter.  I know quite a bit about killers and politics, and when I was younger, I learned about many people who were professional assassins.   In fact, and this case reminds me of how the system works behind the veil, when I was young I had a get out of free card from a very popular judge in Hamilton County that when I showed it, no prosecutor in Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana would touch the case, even if it involved very violent occurrences.  And it worked too, in many cases that I would have expected it not to.  It was disappointing to me to learn all these things at a young age, but that information has served me well over the years, and regarding this case, I feel very confident to say that I think Vance Boelter fell off the wagon over the abortion issue and his close relationships with politicians as an advisor to the Workforce Development Board in 2019 by Tim Waltz made him feel he could get away with killing off of abortion activists in what he would consider going to war with evil, as a man of God. 

Most of the people I knew as professional killers were almost the same type of personality as Vance Boelter, people who had fallen off the rocker at some point in their life, and never made it back.  They weren’t always politically motivated to do hits on members of a political party as much as they wanted to be hired to be in control of situations they felt out of control to deal with.  And once they killed one person and got away with it, they felt invincible to do it again and again.  And the problem is, once you are close to people in politics, you think you can get away with literal murder; there isn’t anything to stop these people from doing their fantasy of process elimination, and soon enough, they offer themselves as a gun for hire. They perform assassinations in the same way that someone might hire a private contractor to build a new driveway.  And there are plenty of political people out there who are more than willing to kill off their opponents for an elected office, so that keeps people like Vance Boelter very busy.  However, in this case, I don’t think Tim Waltz was smart enough to hire Boelter to eliminate political rivals so he could secure a Senate seat. Instead, I believe Boelter hates Democrats and used his inside knowledge, gained through access to political figures, to try to set up Tim Waltz with an accusation, hoping to cause the current governor trouble. 

Boelter was a person who held a variety of jobs, most of which were low-level, a common occurrence among individuals who turn to assassinations for extra income.  It should be noted that Hillary Clinton has been associated with the death of many people, too many to be accidental, so these types of associations are much more common than people would like to admit to.  And most of them never make it to the news cycle, because there are a lot of cards out there that these people carry around with them that keep them out of jail, especially when they are political hits by those who are protecting a public office from rivals, or leakers.  We want to think of killers in this fashion as sophisticated, much like the characters we see in movies.  But most of the time, they are aimless slobs who bounce through life like pinballs in an erratic machine.  Boelter was, for a time, a manager at a Speedway gas station in Shakopee, Minnesota, and held roles in several major food companies, including Nestle, Del Monte, and 7-Eleven, focusing on operations and quality control.  He tried for a long time to start up a security firm that he had co-founded with his wife, Jenny, who was listed as the president and CEO.  He had fantastic ideas about being a kind of military type, as he had security experience in conflict zones, including Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and North America, having trained with private firms and U.S. military personnel.  At the time of these shootings, Boelter was working in the funeral industry, splitting time between the Wulff Funeral Home and Metro First.

Looking at the work history of this guy, once you get a little military training, work with dead bodies and become desensitized to their essence, and get up close to the political class in all these various ways and realize just how thin of a reality most people live in, and how willing they are to turn the other way to maintain whatever illusions about life that they have, people like Vance Boelter lose touch with reality and can become very dangerous.  At the time of these killings, Boelter was living in an apartment away from his family, his wife of 16 years, and his four daughters and one son.  So whether or not Tim Walz was willing to pay a guy like this to create an open senate seat, Boelter was off the rails enough to do it for political reasons himself, or to get a boost in income since his life was such an unplanned mess, that not having stable employment over a long period was detrimental to him.  And that is the common trait for most personal assassins.  They are not well put-together people.  They are typically broken, desperate individuals who have lost their sense of purpose in life and have become desensitized to the rights of others to live a good life.  Because they don’t and can’t, they aren’t capable of living a good, everyday life.  Once they get a glimpse of the inside story, whether it’s in funeral homes, politics, or security details around the world, and you get that mall cop sense of power over others, things quickly spiral out of control.  So I would say this is a warning; there are a lot of these people out there.  There isn’t much desire in prosecution offices to put people like this in jail, because they are so unstable in life, yet at the same time, they are helpful to somebody important, so nobody ever tries to touch them.  That’s why it’s a good thing not to cross that line.  If you want to get rid of somebody politically, run an honest campaign and let voters choose for themselves.  Don’t try to eliminate political rivals with violence and force.  That is not the way to have a stable society.  Honest elections are.

Being Optimistic: How things work in the fifth dimension

I don’t think I need to explain it, but it has come up frequently lately.  I have been in several situations recently that are pretty diabolical and soul-crushing, but those around me have considered my attitude toward these situations to be overly optimistic.  Even to the point of being disingenuous, and not in step with reality.  And on a tough meeting full of really hostile people recently, once the room cleared and this person was alone with me, they said to me, “You could talk the pants off a nun.”  I wasn’t sure of the context of that comment, but as I looked at the person, I said, “I doubt many people would want to see a nun without pants.”  And I left it at that.  However, this person did raise an important point, and something I should probably share that is a core part of my personality.  Optimism is a skill, not an illusion, and most people in the world are where they are in life, no matter how bad it is, by their own choices.  The truth about reality is that you get out of it precisely what you are thinking about.  And this is more than just a statement meant to inspire wisdom.  It’s metaphysically true regarding the rules of quantum mechanics, which I have been talking a lot about lately, for good reason. People do, quite literally, choose their reality more than they realize.  And when people want to do bad things to you, the most effective way of doing it is to convince you to choose bad things to happen to you, rather than for people to have things happen to them, as we have all been conditioned to think.  And this is the structure of the fifth dimension. 

We tend to think of only four dimensions —length, width, height, and time —as the reality we all live in.  However, they are now relatively well known regarding string theory at 11 dimensions.  Mathematically, there are infinite opportunities, or otherwise 100, for which we have visibility and approximately 22 conceptually.  However, for this discussion, when we refer to the 5th dimension, we are referring to what we call the spirit world, where we can sometimes have interactions with what we perceive as ghosts and other paranormal phenomena.  I am continually amazed, for instance, by how a cell phone works, or the auto key opener on my car, which allows me to lock my doors even when I don’t have a line of sight to it, thanks to a signal that passes through metal and concrete barriers.  That is because the waves of information are so small that they can pass through the physical structure of what we think of as solid objects.  Many of the other dimensions we are discussing are either extremely small or magnificently large.  So large that we live in a universe, which we think of as infinitely big, that is likely composed of many universes, all coexisting in infinite possibilities.  This is something that the popular cartoon show Rick and Morty has a lot of fun with as an abstract concept, offering numerous opportunities for humor associated with it.  We tend to think of reality as a solid state, when in fact it is just one reality among all possible realities that are happening all at the same time.  And that one of the extraordinary things that occurs in quantum physics is that particles change their behavior depending on who or what observes them.  That indicates that the power of choice and observation has compelling implications on the nature of reality. 

The reality we choose ultimately is the one that we observe, and we eventually make the choice based on our true nature.  We may tell ourselves that we want a healthy relationship with our spouse, for instance, but we often choose in our lives all the wrong elements to make that happen.  We might say the same thing about a job, or any potential for success, even our health.  We are constantly bombarded by various forces that try to influence our choices in life, many of which share a reality with us and may encourage us to buy a new car or take out another credit card.  One of the most challenging jobs I’ve ever had was a sales job where I had to make cold calls at dinnertime and convince people to sign up for a new credit card, when I was the last person they wanted to talk to.  I had to persuade them to do things they wouldn’t have chosen to do on their own.  It’s hard to get people to decide to spend time with you or listen to what you want to do, and to convince them to change their course and do what you think is right.  But that is the basic ingredient in every sales interaction.  And when you get good at it, whether it’s in politics or basket weaving, you get good at getting other people around you to choose through observation the same reality you have in mind.  In this way, mass choice can create a dimensional reality that everyone can share, allowing for a collective experience that people generally agree is reality. 

By being very optimistic about any situation, it’s not an illusion of self-denial about the current condition, but rather establishing in myself the best possible outcome and keeping my mind prepared for that eventuality.  Now when you are dealing with people who choose to have a bad life and are purposely using bad choices to hide conditional realities from even themselves, they might blame external forces for their problems, but the truth of the matter is that they choose the bad things that happen to them, by the laws of the universe and the many others interacting with it, purposely.  We don’t just live as four-dimensional beings, but the thing we call “us” exists in many dimensions, all at the same time.  The physical reality we call our bodies is just a receiver of this ultimate reality for which we mostly are, and of which we call eternal, because it exists beyond the dimension of time.  We are always our present, past, and future, all at the same time, and we make choices in life based on this eternal concept.  So, when people wonder why I am so optimistic all the time, it’s because I choose to be.  Because reality is more than what we can see, it’s what we choose. To choose good things, we must have them right in our minds before an observable action can be taken.  And that is the nature of life in the fifth dimension.  There are infinite choices that can be made that reside there, which directly influence the reality we live in, for which eternity is always present.  And we get the reality we choose.  A story I often tell is the one about how I met my wife.  She was on a date with another guy, and I had to have her.  Why did I have to have her?  Well, I recognized in her an eternal aspect that resided beyond our four-dimensional lives.  So I walked up to her in his car and told her she was going to be my wife.  I chose her as my wife, and I picked the reality where she wanted the same thing, and we ended up being married for over 37 years now.  In the multiverse, undoubtedly, such an engagement would have led to a fight, rejection, and an embarrassing set of circumstances in every conceivable way.  But I chose the reality where it worked out and we have kids and grandchildren and a whole exciting life of wild and perplexing circumstances.  So, when the world is on fire and I remain light-hearted about it and optimistic at every juncture, it’s because I choose to be that way, for the logical reason of choosing success, the way I truly want it in my life, and those who share that life with me.

Re-Elect Todd Minniear for Liberty Township Trustee: The untold story of Ford’s Garage

Many people are unaware of the story, but it’s one of those great examples of how some politicians in the world do good things in the background that nobody knows about, but that greatly enhance people’s lives.  And we’re talking about Todd Minniear, the highly regarded Liberty Township Trustee, who is about to complete his first term and is up for re-election this year, 2025.  When he was first elected, I considered it one of the most fantastic Christmas presents I could have hoped for.  We needed a constitutional conservative in Liberty Township in a position like that because Liberty Township had a significant problem.  It’s always been a great place to live.  I’ve lived in Liberty Township most of my life.  I’ve traveled extensively around the world, and when my wife and I were first married, we tried to live in various places.  But we moved back to Liberty Township many years ago because it simply was the best place to live.  We had been living in Mason, and the school system was so bad back then that we had to homeschool our kids.  Lakota, as a public school, wasn’t much better, but everything else about the community was just so good.  But like all good communities, it’s hard to provide good political leadership because all these special interest groups start making suggestions that are often beyond the wheelhouse of most people’s professions, and they get hoodwinked into making bad decisions.  And that’s what happened with zoning in Liberty Township.  Word got out that it was a great place to live, and everyone wanted to move to the land north of Cincinnati, with its abundant farmland and white picket fences.  So, a lot of property was bought up, and many homes were built, but along the way, very few commercial areas were created to help alleviate the taxation problem. 

So Liberty Township needed a trustee who could say know to the right things, and that is all the Agenda 21 goofy stuff that came from the United Nations sustainability plans that were flowed down through university training and into the minds of the college kids who were being trained to be the next generation land use planners.  And they have been a disaster, because along with all the ridiculous roundabouts, which are an entirely European design that we mindlessly inherited, like a bunch of little brothers appeasing an older brother who picks on us, we adopted all those methods into our community planning, and it has degraded the living experience predictably.  And to stay great, Liberty Township needed to develop a mind of its own, and Todd Minniear has been that kind of trustee.  When you are the best place to live in the world, quite literally, you don’t let yourself get picked on by anybody, especially a bunch of socialist trained community development planners.  The private sector knows a lot more about these things, and competition should sort out the good from the bad, and be allowed to do that.  Recently, under Todd’s leadership, the Trustees in Liberty Township removed the high-density housing requirements from future building projects, which is a significant development.  The news reporting took that move as building fences to the outside world to keep out the poor and disadvantaged.  However, logic suggests that to protect value, you must keep away people who have less of it.  Otherwise, they bring their problems to your doorstep, and that requires value judgments that might hurt the feelings of people who have not made very good decisions in their lives.  To maintain a good community, you need to reward people who make good decisions and keep the bar high, so that those who didn’t aren’t living in the same space.

As I met Todd Minniear at Liberty Center to discuss some of these high-density housing issues, my daughter was with me, and we were talking about Japan and how people we know who have traveled there and have tattoos were ridiculed in some places for having them.  In some cases, businesses will refuse to serve people who have tattoos, because they see it as a detrimental element to social interaction, and they ridicule it in their society.  I had just recently returned from Japan, which is what I wanted to discuss with Todd about Liberty Center.  Japan’s cities are very clean, and their work ethic is excellent.  Even in their downtown areas, they have nice, convenient stores that are open 24/7.  There is a nice one near a hotel I often stay at in Kobe, and I thought something like that would be perfect for the current location at Liberty Center, across the street from Cooper’s Hawk and the new Flats that have been built, where many people are currently living.  To maintain a good community, you must have high standards and hold others accountable for living up to them.  And that is the challenge, because Liberty Township is such a great place to live, but the housing costs are very high, the temptation to bring in more affordable housing, as the land use sustainability plans all address in the same European socialist way, more high density living which allows people who have made bad decisions in their lives and do not have the financial means to move into Liberty Township, to move into an apartment or an attached single family unit. 

One of my favorite places to eat in Liberty Township is the new Ford’s Garage at Liberty Center, where Todd Minniear has a signature hamburger named after him, which I order every time I visit.  In the location where the restaurant was built, Todd was the trustee who said no to an apartment complex design intended for that area when the mall could not find commercial businesses to fill that very valuable square.  There was a lot of complaining at the time, but eventually, Ford’s Garage restaurant moved in, and that solved many of the problems. It was great that the apartments did not get built there, as the restaurant is far more valuable as a land use option.  It does a lot more for the mall than just bringing in more people who don’t pay enough in taxes to accommodate their presence, whereas a business does.  And Liberty Township needs more businesses that bring in more people from a 25-mile radius who spend money in Liberty Township, then go home.  So that the taxpayers in Liberty Township aren’t on the hook for all the infrastructure.  And it’s decisions like those that Todd Minniear has made that have greatly improved Liberty Township and preserved its value, rather than letting mindless land use plans destroy it. These decisions don’t represent what’s good and original about the community—sometimes saying no leads to a better yes eventually.  And that is certainly the case with Ford’s Garage.  There was considerable pressure to approve high-density housing projects and accommodate the influx of investment dollars into the area.  However, by saying no, Todd Minniear was able to inspire a much better ‘yes’ in the future, which is precisely why we want Todd to serve for many more years as a trustee.  He’s been great, and there is room to do a whole lot more with the Millikin interchange project.  But to set a high bar, you have to live up to it, and often, that means saying no to disreputable social elements, to socialist land use plans, and political sentiments that come from other places, and people bring that garbage with them wherever they go.  We need good political leadership to sort it all out, and Todd Minniear has been just the right touch, and we could use a lot more of him in the years to come.

What’s the Difference Between Islam and Mormons: The Book of Mormon Evidence

Considering that we just fought a war over the very topic of Islam, we have to discuss that an absurdity is at the core of all social discourse.  What’s the big difference between Islam and the Bible among the major religions of the world?  The Bible was written by many people over a long period and is corroborated by other documents, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, to validate that the authors were more than fanciful fiction writers.  On the other hand, the Quran was revealed to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel over 23 years.  So to believe the Quran, we have to accept the premise of its creation and trust that Muhammad wasn’t just another snake oil selling scam artist looking for attention in the world by creating another religion.  In 1823, at the age of 14, Joseph Smith was visited by an angel named Moroni, who revealed the location of some golden plates buried near his home in New York State, near the Finger Lakes.  Then, using Urim and Thummim (of which the nature is unknown) and other seer stones, Smith translated the plates into the Book of Mormon in 1830.  Both of those major religions were founded by individuals who claimed to have been visited by an angel, and we are expected to accept their word completely and trust that what they imparted is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.  We are not supposed to think that the recipients of this information might be con artists looking for attention, or that they weren’t crazy people in their own right.  However, they were chosen by God to convey information to the people of Earth.  Strangely, the same people would point to the religion of Islam and say that we can’t question anything about it, while they would say that the Mormon religion was founded under the premise of a con artist trying to rob Native American people from their inheritance of domestic tranquility, by the Christian rantings of immigrant raiders. 

I have thought that the most logical explanation for the Mormons was that Joseph Smith was a homesick immigrant into America wanting to continue the Bible’s influence into the New World, so they created stories to expand the Biblical narrative, which involves a couple of different migrations from the Holy Land to the American continent taking place many thousands of years ago.  One of the most significant migrations occurred when the prophet Lehi, guided by God, fled Jerusalem around 600 BCE, eventually landing in the Americas, specifically in the area now known as Florida, just to the west of modern-day Tallahassee.  And from there, they formed two tribes, the Nephites and the Lamanites.  Primarily, the Nephites settled in the area of modern-day Ohio, and their presence is evident in the Adena Indians and Hopewell people, as well as in their mound-building cultures, which featured advanced mathematical concepts.  When I first read the Book of Mormon many years ago, I thought of the area they were talking about as being in Central America and even in the Gulf of America when the water levels were lower.  But it’s a fascinating book that I thought could have been the product of a fantastic story of adventure and continued discovery by a people hungry for more Bible stories, in a world that didn’t have much else going on in 1830. However, there has been some excellent research, which I find particularly interesting, especially from a society that seeks to validate a religion by uncovering compelling evidence of its existence.  The more you learn about the mound-building cultures, the more valid the origin story of the Mormon religion reveals itself.  The people at Book of Mormon Evidence.org have a wealth of fascinating material that, according to them, provides evidence of the Mormon migration into North America as a tribe of Israel.  And once here, they mixed with people who were ancient descendants of Atlantis and the Pacific island of Mu, as well as other places. 

There are some rather wild claims, but upon examining the evidence, legitimate questions arise.  And if we apply the same logic as we do to Islam, we have to believe the Book of Mormon just as much as we do the Quran because they were created under the same pretense of assumption.  The only reason we couldn’t believe the Book of Mormon is if we accept that human beings could not travel by boat until Christopher Columbus did so in 1492. Instead, it looks like humans were traveling all over the world in ships many thousands of years ago and that the Columbus missions were built off the maps he used to sail over the horizon of the earth with full knowledge that it was round, and that there was a mysterious land on the horizon that would connect it to a trade route with the east.  Once settled, during American expansionism, during the period when the Mormon religion was created, many of the thousands and thousands of mounds that were attributed to Indians were destroyed to farming and the building of towns, and that the people did record the bones of giant people that were in the mounds, as they built over them and destroyed so much of the evidence.  However, in some cases, there are obvious Jewish influences evident in the mounds that would not be part of any simple hunter-gatherer groups. 

About 20 miles east of Cincinnati is a mound complex known as the Ohio Hanukkiah Mound, which is now gone, but it was recorded when it was discovered before farming destroyed it for good.  It was built in the shape of a Menorah.  Additionally, other Jewish-style artifacts have been found in numerous mounds, notably the Holy Stones located near the Newark complex, just outside modern-day Columbus.  And based on that, and a lot of the well-researched maps provided by the Book of Mormon Evidence.org group, we see more validation of the Mormon religion spreading around the world as a lost tribe of Israel, than just the fanciful imaginings of Joseph Smith, a young kid who grew up into a snakeoil salesman to create a religion that allowed people to have more than one wife.  And when we accept one religion and its premise over another one, we have to ask why the logic isn’t universal.  And if we do find that the Mormons are the actual inhabitants of North America, along with descendants of Atlantis who have been in the New World for many thousands of years, dating back 250,000 years or more.  Then how can we say that the Indians were the “indigenous people” as a tribe of nomads who happened across a land bridge during the Ice Age, and had no technology and were nature worshippers who deserve to have their land back from the mean migrants who came from Europe and took everything away from them. Instead, we see stories of Mormons who left a hostile region to pursue a better life. In those old Jewish cultures, there were teachings of Hermes, who brought advanced knowledge of astrology and the magical practices of the Kabbalah.  The selection of Islam to be believed fits a political desire, not a scientific one.  Because Joseph Smith has been ridiculed by academia as a hoax, while Islam’s Muhammad was not to be questioned as anything but a prophet and the direct hand of God, Allah. If we are going to accept one however, we have to take the other, and as far as evidence, the large amount of it in North America shows that the Jewish people had a large colony of people with very advanced ideas that were recorded in the Book of Mormon that provide some very intriguing viewpoints from a time not very well understood by modern science.  And we have a lot more to learn.

Greeks and Ancient Atlantis: I was the only one in the world who got it right regarding the war with Iran

This may seem like an odd topic, given the current state of the world, but I believe we are uncovering a vast conspiracy that’s deeply rooted in institutionalism and has been impacting the world as a whole.  And to further validate that entire statement, and not to brag, but I was right.  More correct than anybody in the world regarding the war with Iran.  There might be somebody out there who said it as clearly as I did, but out of all the big players in the media, they got it all wrong regarding what Trump was doing with Iran.  As usual, I was the first to say precisely what would happen, and it took days for the rest of the world to figure it out.  So when I say that Atlantis, as a lost civilization, ended up in North America, and the mound builders specifically, it’s more than a fanciful expression of fantasy and fun.  We are discussing institutional failure and why experts can’t be trusted even to tell us the truth about history, let alone advise us on medical issues, or run our lives through government.  When we say that we need freedom from government, the answer to the whys and hows requires an institutional understanding of failure modes.  So when I say that Greek mythology is the evidence of a previous, global civilization of Atlantis I say it to demonstrate that the root cause of much failure in the world can be traced back to mistakes that go back to that ancient civilization, and that we took many of the failures that destroyed that culture and migrated them into modern life.  And our lifeline into that understanding is the stories preserved through Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythology within the Hermetic tradition.  

So when you understand how ancient civilizations either succeeded or failed, you can avoid the same mistakes in our present cultures.  And in understanding that, I can see clear trends that many people miss completely, or don’t understand until it is way too late.  With that said, I have been re-reading the Greek myths so that I can better understand Atlantis as a civilization, because one of the Greek gods, Poseidon, was in charge of that society, and obviously, the hints at what Greek mythology would reveal were more than the fantastic wonderings of human culture.  The stories themselves, like all stories, reveal things about us as a species that are infinitely important in the decision-making process of modern governments and how much of it we need or want.  I don’t like any of the Greek gods of Mt. Olympus, or their children, such as Apollo, Hercules, Achilles, or Hector; they are all overly flawed people who bring great destruction to the lives around them.  And as we look around the world and consider that these stories are far older than the period of the famous philosopher Socrates, from 470 BC to 399 BC, likely by thousands of years.  That would place them in the time of the societies all around the Mediterranean Sea, especially in Malta, and the Minoan worship of the Minotaur, a creature of the famous labyrinth.  We must also pay attention to the Greeks, as without them, the Bible would not have been preserved for us to read today.  And how many stories in the Bible are re-told stories from the very ancient past, put into modern context?  With “modern” representing the latest biblical chronology.  As the story goes, Atlantis was destroyed by a catastrophe, but it was already in a state of prolonged decline, having been overrun by witches and magicians who corrupted the society’s structure in detrimental ways, long before it sank into the sea, as reported by Plato. 

Moral corruption is the element of concern here, and it was analyzed as the failure mode of Atlantis. As people fled that society, they migrated all over the world, taking their stories with them and their study of the stars in attempts to restart society many times over.  We are currently working on doing this exact thing with Mars.  Leaving one society for another is a common theme among all human beings; therefore, we must apply the same logic to the people of Atlantis, who migrated to North and South America, as well as to the Far East, and settled with their technology and religions intact.  However, it would need to be changed subtly, not over a few thousand years, but over tens of thousands of years.  We may find out with a lot more digging, that the Tower of Babel is a summary of what happened to the entire world during this crises period where Atlantis was destroyed and its inhabitants that survived became the North American Indians, or the civilizations of Egypt, Malta, or of Scandinavia, and the British Isles.  And we didn’t see the connection because we made the wrong assumptions about how humans migrated across the globe.  We came up with the idea of human evolution emerging out of Africa without verifying the reliability of that theory, and we constructed a time scale for human development incorrectly.  And now, generations of scientists have gotten everything wrong because they refused to correct each other as new information was presented that contradicted their findings. 

Given that history, it’s essential to understand how cascading failure is an accepted norm in our expert class of modern institutionalists.  Rather than challenge the static norm, they are more prone to adopt it.  Such as what happened with assuming that Trump bombing Iran would start World War III.  Rather than looking at the economic conditions for Iran, we thought we understood the nature of war to the point that we did not address the situation correctly, until Trump bombed them and ended their terror regime in a single night on June 21st, 2025.  The same flawed logic has dismissed Atlantis as a fantasy from the past, from the kind of minds that wrote the Odyssey and the Iliad, without considering that the stories themselves provided valuable insights into the human mind, which would long be gone as physical evidence through the process of erosion otherwise.  Very little of anything built 10,000 years ago would remain unless it were preserved in the manner we have witnessed at Göbekli Tepe in Turkey.  And when we study the North American mound builders, or the creators of Stonehenge, Avebury, or the entire South American continent, we are seeing what was left of a civilization from long ago that is only preserved in the stories they passed down through generations, that were perhaps organized by the Greeks, and other Mediterranean cultures in their quest for culture.  So, they wrote down everything they could preserve, including the Bible.   To understand ourselves in a modern context, it is essential to understand the past, not the one taught in school.  Because much of that is all wrong.  However, instead, we get glimpses from sources such as the Greek myths.  And what strikes me most about them is the amount of sex in them.  These were not cultures that hunted and gathered; they were concerned with human emotions and relationships, as well as luxury items, in any society that has advanced beyond the necessities.  That means, if the Greeks had time to think about such things 2,000 years BC, or even 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, the stories came from a culture that had mastered the means to luxury, where they had free time to think about such things.   This says a lot about the history we are studying, as it provides a very accurate window into the past, much better than carbon dating.

Ted Cruz Doesn’t Understand the Bible: The danger of assumptions

I think it is one of the most embarrassing interviews I’ve seen in a long time, and you wouldn’t have expected it from Ted Cruz. But then again, maybe so.  It was the Tucker Carlson interview where Cruz said that the Bible instructs us to support Israel against the world.  Tucker caught that statement and wouldn’t let it go, and once he did, Senator Cruz just kept digging in, which was very embarrassing.  News flash, it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible to follow Israel unthinkingly.  God himself sought to destroy Israel many times by its enemies for not following his commandments.  And who is to say that this modern fight with Iran isn’t just another action by God to destroy Israel because it has drifted too far away from its promises to God as conveyed by the Old Testament? It was astonishing that Ted Cruz, who has been on the short list to be a Supreme Court Justice, who has run for President, and has been a very successful senator, didn’t know one of those basic understandings of the Bible.  And we hear that a lot from people who talk about the Bible as a guiding light. They listen to what someone tells them in Sunday school or church on Sunday, and they repeat it themselves, sometimes for a lifetime, because they view the Bible as too hard to read, and they never really do.  They may be adamant Christian people, but they never gain firsthand understanding of the Bible, because they never really fully understand it. After all, the Bible is vast and contains a wealth of information, making it challenging to read if you don’t take the time to get to know it.  Once Tucker Carlson realized that one of the biggest Biblical cheerleaders in government didn’t understand a basic premise of Biblical perspective, he tore into Ted Cruz, and the Senator just kept digging himself deeper and deeper by trying to walk out of it, only to sink further.  It was pretty brutal.

But what it brought up was just how shallow people who profess to know the Bible are.  And that when the United Nations essentially created the state of Israel after World War II, many of the people in that movement had the same Biblical understanding of things that Ted Cruz did.  They heard something as kids and carried it through their lives, whether or not it was true, and as adults, they advocated a position based purely on a sentiment learned in childhood.  If Israel is up to no good and is evil itself, and has fallen into evil ways, would God want us in America to support them regardless of the content of their character?  Because that’s not how it ever was in the Bible.  God was displeased with many characters in the Bible, and He punished them severely.  God punished the people of Israel for not initially attacking the Land of Canaan upon learning from the spies that it was filled with scary, giant people.  So God scolded that generation to remain in the wilderness for another 40 years to let the current losers die off.  God punished Aaron. He punished Moses, not even allowing his chosen prophet to deliver his people into the Promised Land, and gave that pleasure over to Joshua.  God punished King Saul.  God punished King David.  God punished King Solomon.  And eventually God just destroyed all of Israel with the attack of King Nebuchadnezzar, forcing the Jewish people into exile from their holy land and to be servants as slaves to their captors.  God sent his son Jesus to redeem the people, and they killed him, leaving God to punish the people of Israel again with the Roman army that destroyed the Temple yet again and slaughtered all the Jewish rebels. 

God has been very hard on Israel, yet they are some of the oldest continuous people on the planet.  I believe that in the mound culture of North America and other parts of the world, we are witnessing a migration through the Mormon religion, reflecting their deep past and interactions with God.  There are unmistakably Jewish relics in the mounds of the Adena and Hopewell people that show a particular connection to the events of the Holy Land. God has been trying for a long time to make the people of Israel into something special, and they have let him down time and time again, scattering them in anger all over the world.  So I don’t think that God has suddenly given all the Jewish people a hall pass in modern times to perpetually good judgment and an endorsement from Heaven for continued existence.  Given the nature of God in the Bible, it would be likely that Hamas and Iran in general exist to punish the people of Israel for their continued lifestyle of sins.  What happened on that terrible day on October 7th 2023 can’t be forgiven, where Palestinian militants attacked kids at the Supernova Sukkot Gathering, an open-air music festival killing at least 364 people and taking around 40 hostages, and brutally raping in public several young women, then breaking up their bodies and throwing them into the back of pick-up trucks while spitting on their distorted bodies.  By the time the smoke cleared, 1200 people were killed in a broader attack, and the brutality of it by itself deserves to see the people of Hamas eradicated from the face of the earth because it was so evil. 

But by the way God works, such a thing would likely be a political move made against Israel to either punish it for past transgressions, or to rally the world to the cause of Israel, and to use it to conquer evil in the world, which would be why Ted Cruz would believe what he did about the Bible as an assumption.  Not a factual statement.  And that would be what the people who wanted to create a Jewish state of Israel would think as well, that God wanted them to make it, assuming that they knew God because of something they learned in Sunday school, or passed down through Hermetic tradition as a Masonic community trying to create in the world a New Atlantis to rival the homeland of the ancient past.  People believe a lot of things, but the vital thing to always consider is what they know and how they came to know it.  I think Matt Gaetz explained it well when he said that the entire reason Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to attack Iran when he did was to wipe out their nuclear weapon development, because he was hanging on to a tight election and needed to give Israel something to rally behind.  Everyone is likely guilty of something bad and detrimental; however, the critical thing to know is what the Bible says and what it means.  And clearly, Ted Cruz didn’t understand it.  It’s one thing to support Western Civilization, which Israel is a creation of, and to impose that on a world that does not like it, want it, and wants to destroy the concept of it completely and utterly.  And when it comes to the Palestinians and Islamic fundamentalism, with Marxism looming always in the background, there is no way to live in peace with people like that.  The only peace you can ever have in the Middle East is to eradicate the antagonizers all from existence and to pick Western Civilization over the other options.  And the Bible would imply that the right way to think is in that fashion.  However, that’s what people who follow the Quran believe as well, which creates the foundation of the conflict itself.  What Ted Cruz did was get caught making assumptions on something he should have, of all people, clearly understood.  Hearing him talk is a reminder of how little people in charge know about the actual reality of existence and what God wants from it.  And at best, it’s very dangerous.

Destroying Iran: The magnificance of capitalism

I’m not that surprised that President Trump attacked the Fordow site in Iran, along with two others, where the nuclear program was reported to be in the process of development.  From what Trump knew, taking away any leverage of fear from a nuclear power development plan from the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world, and the Revolutionary Army of the current regime was on their heels, the timing was right.  With this move, Trump can accomplish several essential things simultaneously.  Given this air raid of Iran, it might look risky to be pulled into a prolonged war.  But the reports told Trump what he needed to know in the wake of the conflict between Iran and Israel.  Iran was out of missiles.  They had been able to bomb Israeli cities like Tel Aviv and get through the Iron Dome defense network by overwhelming the system.  But missiles cost money, and Obama isn’t around anymore to sneak money to the Iranian government to antagonize Western civilization, and the rockets ran dry.  To make a show of continued force, Iran has still been launching missiles into Israel, but at a much reduced rate, leaving the Iron Dome to pick them off easily.  Iran was in trouble.  The Ayatollah was in hiding.  Many of the senior revolutionary leadership were killed off or in disarray.  So the time was ripe for a strike, and Trump did it.  If he had resisted, he would have lost an opportunity. Iran was already falling, so it was a good time to send a message to the rest of the world, pass the Big Beautiful Bill, and crush the Russian resistance to end the Ukraine war.  Cut the ties China has with Iran by taking them off the map.  And pave the way for the people of Iran to take back their country and remove it from being a Marxist stronghold in the Middle East.  With the bombing of those three sites, Trump was able to get a lot done, so the time to strike was open.

Trump could have crushed Iran just with his mouth, as he had been doing.  However, an opening was obvious, and people often need to see decisive action. Moreover, nothing unites people more than military action.  As controversial as it is, Trump needs the Big Beautiful Bill to pass the Senate because the tax cuts in it, if made permanent, are key features to the future of the American economy and the improvements we have been seeing in all our wallets.  With the Fed resisting a lowering of interest rates, the tax cuts become even more critical. To unify everyone in passing the Bill for a very nice Fourth of July in 2025, destroying a long-known enemy of America was a smart move to drive resistance to the Bill to act quickly and decisively.  For Trump, he will be remembered as the President who crushed Iran with a marvelous attack that was very successful.  However, for the rest of the world, it was a significant statement and a display of military force.  And it was just enough to get the war hawks on Capitol Hill engaged enough to cheerlead passage of Trump’s Bill, which will secure all his campaign promises.  It will also add a lot of debt to an already escalating pile.  But strategically speaking, this raid on Iran in the middle of the night was an all-in poker move, and Trump has been successful at those before. This is undoubtedly what I voted for, and so did many others.  Likely, even people who didn’t want Trump are suddenly quite happy that he’s in the White House.

Regarding Article II powers, Trump is well within his rights as President to call such a strike.  All this talk of impeachment by Democrats isn’t going to go anywhere.  Ground troops were not involved, so that kept things straight legally on the side of Trump’s decisive action.  For those who fear retaliation, and that, because of Trump’s actions, it puts everyone at risk, they have been deceived into believing that Iran was more powerful than it really was.  The fear is that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz, located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.  The simple answer is that ships traveling through the area can hug the coast of the United Arab Emirates and avoid Iranian patrols.  However, in truth, Iran lacks the firepower to establish a blockade that would prevent ships from traveling through it.  These are not the Obama days when ships could be stopped by Iranian patrols and harassed.  The Iranians know that they can’t afford retaliation, so there isn’t any real way to provoke more trouble to pour on themselves.  So, any fear of such a thing is misplaced in those who thought of Iran as more potent than it was.  The media and their leftist partners in the world propped up Iran to be a bully so that Marxist ideology could thrive.  And Trump just took that leverage away from the world with that one act.  Ultimately, the fight was always between capitalism and various degrees of communism hidden behind religious fundamentalism, which is why Democrats are so unhappy with the attack because it exposes what they already know but were trying to hide from the world.  Iran was a paper tiger of antagonism that was keeping the world in a terrible state.  And that they used that leverage to spread big government socialism as a reaction to it.  And now that paper tiger is gone. 

When it’s said that nobody else in the world could have performed an attack like this, with B-2 Spirit stealth bombers dropping six GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrators, (bunker busters) that could destroy targets 300 feet underground, every country suddenly has to perk up differently when Trump picks up the phone, especially China, and Russia.  And the European Union.  And all the bill whipping that Trump will do in the last week before the Fourth of July to pass his bill and seal his campaign promises, which will fund a repayment of the debt incurred, and then some, will take on a whole new meaning.  As China plans to replace the dollar as the world’s currency standard at the upcoming BRICS summit, set to take place on July 6, 2025, just a few weeks away, it will now have to reconsider all its thoughts.  And in that vacuum of consideration, Trump’s economic plans will have a chance to take flight, and the world will be reeling from their commitments to global communism and socialism.  And only capitalist governments will find success, with the United States pulling way out in front of everyone.  And all the posturing of China to antagonize Taiwan are suddenly not very attractive when America can send bunker busters from halfway around the world and devastatingly cripple a target, essentially ending the life of a country in a few minutes, and still be home in time for dinner.  No, this attack was about more than helping Israel.  It was a final blow against communism, forcing the world to compete in ways they weren’t ready for.  And it will be remembered as one of the most incredible achievements of any American president, not for the action itself, but for what came after.

Bioweapons from China: Yes, they are planning a Covid part II

Just as a reminder, recently, there were a couple of incidents where Chinese nationals were caught trying to smuggle bioweapons material into the United States.  One case involved two individuals, Yunqing Jian and Zunyong Liu, who attempted to bring Fusarium graminearum through the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.  Liu was Jian’s girlfriend and was sent back while he was arrested, as he held a position at the University of Michigan.  Then there was the case of Chengxuan Han, who was also detained at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport for attempting to smuggle biological materials related to roundworm.  She was from the University of Science and Technology in Wuhan and was charged with smuggling and making false statements after sending four packages containing undeclared biological materials through security.  Many are saying that these were just accidents and that the materials they were trying to bring into America were intended for research at the University of Michigan, and were legitimate items for advanced study.  I have told the story of a friend of mine who was recently apprehended in a similar way for bringing genetically modified strawberries back from Japan and into North America through Canada.  The security in Toronto overreacted and made a massive deal of it, which was similar to how these Chinese nationals have been treated.  So, not all cases are certainly terrorist attempts.  However, some of them are, and given what recently happened in Wuhan, China, with COVID, which many people claim was an accident released into the public under innocent conditions.  We can’t trust anybody at this point, and like clockwork, we suddenly have two suspicious cases emerging from our relations with China, right on time to attempt a strike at the new Trump economy, to preserve their investment in bringing the world under their control. 

Here’s what we do know about China.  They are malicious, and they have a deep network of Chinese nationals working for the homeland within the context of diplomatic relations in the United States.  It’s a vast spy network of loyal Chinese who work and study in America, but would on the head of a dime turn into hostile antagonists for the communist Chinese government.  And China can’t afford to come in second to a revised America First agenda.  So, yes, would they do such a thing as release a bioweapon into America to throw a pause on all the great things that are happening under the new Trump administration?  Yes, you can bet they would.   And yes, it was fair to provide extra scrutiny for Chinese nationals trying to bring unusual items into the country, only to get caught and claim those items as research material by naive foreign travelers, as a cover story.  I’d say that, at this point, we can no longer believe anything that comes from China, especially from the government. They are going to try to do anything to stop the good things that are happening because if they don’t, China is going to fall apart under its own weight.  China has done it before, and they will do it again for sure.  COVID-19, never forget, was not a legitimate virus accidently released from the Wuhan lab in China.  It was a created bioweapon made through gain-of-function research and released at a critical time to take Trump out of office during an election year and gain control of our economy under the guise of a crisis.  COVID was made and used as a bioweapon to stop what Trump was doing well in the first term.  And yes, there are these same groups of people who are planning to do the same thing now.  So we must be very vigilant. 

I thought it was interesting to hear Ray Dalio discuss market volatility on MSNBC recently, and he’s starting to get it a bit.  Dalio is the founder of Bridgewater Associates and is a billionaire hedge fund manager known for global macro investment strategies.  I think of him, and many of those guys, like Larry Fink, as pot-smoking hippies too in love with the 1960s era Flower Child politics, and that they are menaces to society, using money as a weapon to implement globalism.  But I have read all Ray’s books and think he’s a smart guy, even if he is a diabolical globalist deeply committed to propping up the communist Chinese government.  And Dalio sees where the market trends are heading and why central bankers are buying gold these days as a hedge against the volatility looming in the background.  Those were the conditions that the enemies of the world attacking capitalism in general, exploited in 2020 to unleash COVID-19, wreck the world economy, and throw the world into a World Economic Forum Great Reset.  Yes, there are a lot of people who think that the end justifies the means as long as the greater good is served, which makes all left-wing-minded people like Ray Dalio dangerous.  Always make sure to listen to what people like him say and study what they do.  People like him see the inevitable with the Trump economy; it is going to torpedo the rest of the world’s markets, and people who have invested in globalism through China’s communist model are going to lose in the massive power shift.  So surely nobody thinks that China is going to give all that power up in a fair economic fight?  No, they will try to sabotage the world again for their self-preservation.  And many of these Chinese nationalist travelers are dedicated to the homeland, even if they live and work in America.  And they are dangerous. 

This is a far more perilous situation than people are willing to admit.  The real danger that is looming in the world is not whether Iran has a nuclear weapon and must be destroyed.  Or whether Russia will agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine.  Or, if China is going to move against Taiwan to capture our chip manufacturing capabilities, which fuel the American economy.  Trump knows this situation, and he learned a lot from 2020 when they unleashed COVID on his watch to shut down the world with a bioweapon.  The moment there is peace in the world, some of these globalists are going to try to do it again, and when they do, they will try to do precisely what the Chinese nationalists caught at the Detroit Airport were trying to do, bring in bioweapons to cripple the population of America with chaos to stop the progress of Trump in restoring greatness to all aspects of our society.  The Chinese feel they have no choice in the matter, and they will kill to hold power.  You can bet on that.  So, for Trump, if he is playing the Art of the Deal to keep all these world leaders on their heels, many years from now, it will become clear what the real danger truly was.  The moment there is a window of peace, China will try to unleash a bioweapon to stay in power.  So as long as Trump keeps him close, it will be hard to get away with state-sponsored sabotage and terrorism.  You have to see the game that is being played, not the one they are showing you.  Because these cases of bioweapon material confiscation on American soil are just a hint to the real menace out there, and the moment they can, they are going to try again what they did with Covid, only this time with much deadlier intentions.

Juneteenth is a Dumb Holiday for Lazy People: It was Republicans who freed the slaves

We have too many holidays as it is; we certainly don’t need one more where everyone stays home and looks out the window.  People need to work more, and not emulate the lazy Europeans and their excessive time off lifestyle.  I was pretty surprised to learn this year, in 2025, when June 19th arrived, that it was a federal holiday and all the banks, along with many large companies, were closed.  It was a Thursday, essentially in the middle of the workweek, and everyone was gone from the office, which I found shocking.  The Juneteenth Holiday was in effect from when it was passed in 2021, and for some reason, it became a thing this year.  Last year or the year before, I didn’t notice it much.  But this year, it seemed oddly out of place, being placed alongside other holidays like Memorial Day, Labor Day, and the Fourth of July.  Juneteenth is a holiday created by lazy people using racism as a mask to hide their lack of engagement.  Democrats made it to hide the sin of their slave holding past in an attempt to appease their current desires to work less and follow the Marxist trend to have as many days off a year, and to follow Europe, where all the countries have some level of socialism to them, into a stagnant economy with short work weeks and very little productivity.  I hear it all the time from people I deal with in Europe, they think Americans work too much and are constantly stressed out.  They think it’s smart to take more days off, have more extended vacations, and stay home from work every time they have a runny nose.  I disagree vehemently.  I think people should work much more than they do now and for far more extended hours.  We can’t have the most GDP and strongest economy in the world unless you are willing to outwork everyone else.

It was stunningly irresponsible for many of the large companies I was aware of, including Juneteenth as a day off for their employees.  You have to be kidding.  It’s part of that whole DEI push that has been so destructive.  As if by recognizing the holiday created by the Biden Administration to appease voters they think would vote for them because of the color of their skin, to honor the end of slavery, those companies would prove that they weren’t racists.  By bending the knee to radical Marxism and communism that have been exported into communities of color to take advantage of any past hard feelings, the belief is that unearned guilt can be relieved.  But that is the fool’s perspective who doesn’t know their history.  It was Republicans who freed the slaves.  It was Democrats who kept them, so those of us who were never supportive of slavery, and I am certainly one of them, were never guilty of slavery.  Instead of a name like “Juneteenth,” it should be Frederick Douglass Day or General Grant Day.  Or “thank you, Republican Party Day.”  “Not Juneteenth.”  The name itself is embarrassing, and comes from a Marxist background from radicals within America who hate the country and want to bring it down from the inside out.  By recognizing the holiday with a lazy day off, we give Democrats cover for the sins they committed with slavery and allow them to gain merit in appeasing minority communities hoping to win votes by giving them a day off in remembrance of what they want to establish as the unwarranted start to a country built on slavery. 

Marxist groups are behind all this as their ideology from Karl Marx established the attack of communism throughout the world to attempt to stir up the disenfranchised to rise against their current governments.  And that is the case in just about every corner of the world.  And in America, the Marxist groups behind the Juneteenth holiday are part of that ridiculous 1619 Project that was popular at the time to rewrite history around the premise that America and its economy should have never been created because it was built on the back of slavery.  When the truth is that, without America coming along, slavery would likely still be practiced commonly in the world.  It was the creation of the American Constitution that paved the way for the world to remove the practice of slaves in all economies, which had been going on everywhere up to that point for many thousands of years.  It was the American North and specifically the Republican Party that emerged to end slavery.  It was highly controversial at the time.  It wasn’t just America practicing slavery. Instead, slavery had been inherited from the English, the French, and the Spanish in the regions they controlled in North America.  And it was the Revolutionary War that created the conditions for America to be born as a nation, and to take those territories away from those other countries that practiced slavery.  Once the federal government could be elected to use a political party to create a mass movement against slavery, it was the Republican Party that led a war against southern Democrats to free the slaves.  We shouldn’t call the ending of slavery Juneteenth Day; it should be in honor of the Republican Party.  And specifically, President Grant, a great war general and president who was too fair to everyone. 

It was The New York Times Magazine that launched this idea in 2019, marking the 400th anniversary of the arrival of enslaved Africans in the English colony of Virginia, and attempting to reframe the creation of America as a country, thereby undercutting its foundation.  The Juneteenth holiday is a way to trick people into buying into this ridiculous nonsense with a day off work to celebrate, then validate their argument.  But it’s just another excuse for people who don’t like to work to create another holiday to justify being unproductive under the guise of a good cause.  The world doesn’t need more time off work.  It needs to work harder.  And people need to know their history.  Republicans freed the slaves, and if not for America, there would still be slaves.  It took a free country for the world to see what free people would be like.  Until that occurred, nobody understood what “freedom” meant.  And it took another century for the Republican Party to come along and challenge a long-term European standard of slave labor to provide work for economies.  During the age of invention, as machines could perform work relieving humans of tasks, the human race could finally have that debate.  So, if we are going to celebrate something, it needs to be that Republicans freed the slaves in the newly created nation of America.  But we already celebrate freedom on the 4th of July, so we don’t need another useless holiday for people to sit around and eat nachos by the pool.  People need to get back to work.  We need to dump this useless Holiday of Juneteenth so that we can get to the banks when we need them.  How dare those idiots think that it was appropriate to shut down all the banks in the middle of a work week?  What a stupid and reckless thing to do.  That tells you a lot about just how woke our banking system is when they take off for Juneteenth.  And that is a whole problem of its own.
