The Case of Emily Nutley: Why do so many teachers want to have sex with their students

Let’s talk about Emily Nutley, the 43-year-old former head counselor and director of academic services at St. Xavier High School, the prestigious all-boys Jesuit Catholic school in Cincinnati, Ohio, who pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery on April 7th, 2025.  She had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student who eventually got tired of her and told authorities about the scandal, which prompted an investigation, and the prosecution of the case by Melissa Powers, who I think is a fantastic prosecutor.  It wasn’t hard to prove the merits of the case since Nutley sent the student nude pictures of herself to his cell phone, so that pretty much was that.  But why, here as a young woman who was married with three kids, she had a master’s degree and lived in a very nice neighborhood in Mason, Ohio.  She had a great job.  Everything looked on the outside to be a pretty perfect life.  So why would she throw it all away to have a sexual relationship with a kid?  With so many options, why would she make such a horribly bad decision that would ruin her for the rest of her life?  And here’s the real issue: if she hadn’t pushed the relationship to the point that she did, where the kid got tired of her, how long would it have gone on, because it was the student who said something?  How many of these cases are going on that nobody will ever find out about because there hasn’t been a whistleblower?  And when there is a whistleblower, how many get covered up by the administrators trying to protect the school’s reputation?  In my experience, a lot.  There are a lot of Emily Nutleys out there.  I know the type of “pro teacher” employee that Emily Nutley was.  They are very common and prone to the same behavior; this is no isolated incident.

This case reminded me of when I was in high school a long time ago.  We had a Spanish teacher who was about the same age as Emily, at the end of her childbearing years and was hot to trot with all the emerging maleness of high school.  She was very willing to help certain guys in class with their homework.  She was well perfumed and would unbutton her shirt when she’d lean over you to help with something you were working on.  Very awkwardly, in front of the whole class.  And she was very willing to show off her goodies and lay them on your shoulder when she explained things to you.  My friends and I called her Senorita Slut because it was apparent she was climbing the walls with sexual tension.  This kind of thing is by no means new.  Emily Nutley isn’t the first and certainly won’t be the last.  And I’d say that her situation is quite common.  When you start talking to people in these schools, behind the polite decorum of professionalism, there is a lot of sex going on.  There is teacher-to-student sex.  Teacher to teacher sex.  And there are a lot more cases of teacher and parent sex than many people would like to admit to.  The teacher is explaining to a parent the conditions of their kid in class, and before long, they are exchanging phone numbers and sending each other nude photos over coffee at Starbucks.  If they don’t have a firm grip on their values, people fly off the handle pretty fast, which was undoubtedly the case with Emily Nutley.

I feel sorry for the former teacher; Emily’s life is ruined, and she’ll never recover.  Watching her plead guilty in court with her dad there to support her is just a train wreck of serious mistakes that any rational person should be able to avoid easily.  But she threw it all away for nothing, and now she will never be able to put it behind her.  In court, she attempted to place the blame on her husband for neglect, indicating that her sexual frustrations were because he wasn’t fulfilling his husbandly duties.  But what does she expect as a person in her 40s with three kids and many social requirements that a school teacher living in Mason is expected to live up to?  Sex for mature adults is not easy to come by, so life has a way of chipping away at people.  That doesn’t mean that you take up sexual residence with a student in your school.  Why him and not one of the many options for sex with just about anybody that’s out there these days?  It’s a lot easier now than when I was in school with Senorita Slut.  So why did she do it, and what can we do to protect ourselves from it?  And my answer to that is that you can’t do anything about it.  It’s a systems failure.  It’s what happens when people get together and is part of our biological coding.  When an intellectual mind fails to overcome biological desire, bad things happen.  And in public and private school settings, no matter how much money parents are paying for an excellent education, there is a desire for sex among human beings with each other.  And the more we rationalize surrendering to animal behavior in society, the more people like Emily Nutley are going to start sending naked pictures of themselves to their students.

I think at least 10% of the adult population of any education system has sexual activity going on with either the students or other adults in the school.  At least.  The only way that people like Emily Nutley get caught is that things get out of hand and someone says something.  Most of the time, the relationships fizzle out.  When we learned in Lakota that a superintendent had sexual fantasies about sex with some of the students that they shared, which came out in a police report, a window into that world was all too clear.  Sex in educational endeavors was common.  Putting aging women in a room full of emerging young men with their whole sexual lives in front of them is a dangerous combination.  And when you couple that to porn addiction among adult males and the lowering of social standards, you have a hazardous combination of things that are impossible to manage.  As I said, our education system is grotesquely broken, and I gave up on it long ago.  This case has an aggressive prosecutor in Melissa Powers.  It had naked pictures of the teacher sent to the student, the whistleblower.  And it had a confession by the perpetrator.  Her husband divorced her.  She lost her job.  Her kids will never forgive her.  And she currently awaits sentencing.  But without the whistleblower.  Without the prosecutor.  This would be just one more widespread occurrence in all schools, where humans desire to express themselves sexually to other people for a whole bunch of really dumb reasons.  And yeah, I feel sorry for Emily Nutley.  In many ways, she was doing what a progressive society encourages.  And she followed those rules to this complete social destruction, and she has lost everything in the process.  But even more than that, there are lots of these things going on; our education systems are not safe places. Instead, they are some of the most dangerous places, and the predators who hold master’s degrees are well paid, have families, and prestigious titles in society.  But behind it all is a lot of scandalous behavior from bored minds seeking fleshly affirmation, even at the promise of self-destruction.

I Like the FBI A Lot More Today: With Kash Patel in charge, we’re a lot better off

This is another one of those spike-the-football moments that I usually don’t do.  But when it comes to the FBI, they deserve it.  I have not been a big supporter of them all this time, so they are lucky to have Kash Patel as their director.  The FBI has too often abused its power and shown that it cannot be trusted, and I thought the only way to deal with it was to let it go, dismiss the entire department, and start over with something else.  After they were caught doing this multiple times, having someone like Kash Patel run them was the only way to keep them around.  It wasn’t that long ago that I did a piece on CNN that dealt with James Comey at the height of his career. Once President Trump fired him a few months into his first administration, I accurately described the former FBI Director as a bad person.  I’ve done a lot of media over the years, but that CNN spot is one that I am proud of because of the circumstances under which it occurred.  Trump had just fired Comey, I think it was May of 2017, just a few months into the first term of President Trump, for mishandling the illegal email case of Hillary Clinton.  But deeper than that, Comey was leading a series of coups against Trump, especially regarding the Russia hoax that would become the central issue of his entire first presidency.  So CNN came to Cincinnati to talk to hard-core Trump supporters about whether or not they still trusted Trump after firing the Boy Scout image of James Comey.  The bet at the time was that people would turn on Trump because they liked Comey so much.  But the CNN broadcast ran into a buzz saw in Butler County politics for Anderson Cooper’s show live on the air when the camera and question was on me, did I think that Comey lied about what he had done and I had essentially told them yes, using a spy novelist metaphor.  Comey was more fiction than fact. 

After the cameras were off and we were all in the parking lot where the interview had been shot, which was a sports bar that was very popular in Fairfield, Ohio, I had some hard talks with the producers that they found astonishing.  These CNN producers were friendly people; we had gotten to know them well because before that, they had given us a kind of party where we watched the James Comey hearings together before the interview later that night, which they thought was going to be a slam dunk against Trump’s corruption.  Over that duration, they had taken a particular liking to me and wanted to know what I thought about many things.  As I usually do, I was more than happy to give them plenty of answers.  So we were talking after the interview, and they were stunned by what I had said, which is that I thought Comey lied in his testimony and was an open activist against Trump in trying to perform a coup against him.  Also at that time was the thought that the Russian dossier was accurate and that Trump had been caught with prostitutes allowing them to urinate on him while staying in Russia on business.  I told them that no way that story was true, which turned out to be accurate, because Trump would never allow himself to be urinated on by dirty prostitutes.  He’s way too clean for something like that.

And this was before we learned what we did about Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, the two senior FBI employees working directly for Comey who had an illicit affair and comforted each other with a series of text messages assuring the young woman that the FBI had the power to stop Trump, no matter what.  So what I was saying to these CNN producers in this parking lot was mind-blowing stuff for them.  They had complete trust in our American institutions and thought it was impossible for a career appointment like Comey, leading one of our most important institutions, to show himself untrustworthy.  They couldn’t understand it but liked me and thought I said many brilliant things.  So, they couldn’t understand how I could feel the things I did about the FBI.  Well, I was right about everything, as I usually am.  And everyone learned some hard lessons.  But the important thing was that I was right about it when it was very unpopular to suggest such a thing.  We are in a different world now, 8 years later.  And I would say that I certainly did my part to get that truth out and to start turning some of these noes into yeses regarding the issue of trusting Trump.  We had to go through some actual cleansing, and ultimately, it was good that we’ve now had Trump for eight years and are going for four more, essentially.  Otherwise, the Director of the FBI would be a much more conventional pick.  However, only someone like Kash Patel could reform the FBI as it has been needed for decades.  Trump appointed Christopher Wray to replace Comey, but he wasn’t much better.  And he would turn out to lead the FBI to further try to destroy Trump after he left office in raiding his home at Mar-a-Lago and taking the classified documents that Trump had kept for himself after his first term, which he had every right in the world to do. 

One of the first things that President Trump did upon winning the White House for the third time was to get back the documents that were taken from him in the Mar-a-Lago raid of his home in 2022.  From the time that I gave that CNN interview, to the time that the boxes taken from Trump were restored to him just a few days ago, we saw enough out of the FBI to see that they had become a fourth branch of government that had drifted away from voter oversight and had become highly corrupt and power hungry.  And the only way to save them was to put Kash Patel in charge so that he could reform them completely.  I had thought they were beyond reform, but even I like the FBI now that Kash Patel is in charge and Pam Bondi is running the Justice Department.  I have never been an anti-government person.  But I expect my government to be run by good people, and institutional preservation is not warranted when good people are hard, if not impossible, to find.  So, for the FBI’s sake, they are lucky that Trump won.  They get a chance to live again under Kash Patel.  And with him in charge, I like the FBI much more than I did before Kash was sworn in.  Now that he has been sworn in, I can get behind the FBI in ways I haven’t in over four decades.  But the lesson here is that you should listen when I tell you something, even if it sounds pretty wild and unbelievable.  And if you do, you’ll find that life is a lot easier for you, no matter what it is.  Lessons learned is wisdom gained.

Rats in MAGA Hats: The FBI has to be punished for what they did on January 6th, lying about their 26 paid informants at the heart of all the trouble

There is a lot that will change, and keep in mind that as hurt as everyone was over the CR from Congress, nobody has seen anything yet in that regard.  Congress should have never packed that bill entirely of so much nonsense; the CR should have been presented as one page and provided with it a plan.  When we talk about D.O.G.E with some of the wealthiest people in the world volunteering their time to bring sanity to the process, don’t expect there not to be broken eggshells.  This will not be politics as usual on any front.  And I would say to all those involved in putting together that 1500-page monstrosity full of garbage that the Democrats wanted, remember, they did not win the election.  America turned them away.  So act like it when thinking about spending money.  All the pain that everyone is going through is better than jail or worse.  So tighten up your belts, shut your mouths, and thank God a Constitution is protecting you from the punishment you deserve for the way you have screwed over all of us for years.  It will get very pushy, but it’s for everyone’s good.  This is why it is good for Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk to be independently wealthy and to be attached to the Trump administration voluntarily because they can afford to be critical of horrible government efforts like this December CR that otherwise would have been passed mainly unnoticed by the public for over 100 billion dollars of additional debt to fund the government only for two more months.  In February, they’d all be back doing the same stupid stuff and looking for another global distraction to keep stupid media from reporting the details. And that whole process would continue, spending another trillion dollars in debt every 100 days and tying us all closer to the enemies of the world financially who want to destroy us.  No, it’s time to start saying no and sticking with it.

And that same mentality has to be enacted regarding the FBI.  Everyone is fortunate that we are talking about putting Kash Patel in a position to head the FBI and clean up all this mess.  Now we know for sure, beyond speculation, that the FBI had over 26 informants working the crowd for January 6th 2021 and that Christopher Wray lied about it to Congress. That’s why the day before that information was released to the public, the FBI Director announced that he would resign. Many people wanted him to stay on for his full ten-year term to shield them from further investigations.  But Wray doesn’t want or need any of that.  He’s already in trouble for participating in trying to destroy Trump, the guy who picked him to be in that role after Trump had to fire Jim Comey, and with Trump back in the White House, there is no future for Wray.  He played an evil, dangerous game of letting the Biden administration weaponize the government, and now they have all been caught.  His best option is to resign, take himself off the map, and run for the hills, which is what he’s doing.  That leaves a lot of bad guys exposed in the wake, and as to that, tuff tootles.  They did the crime; now they can do the time.  It’s not going to be nice; what happens to them?  And there will be a lot more media overall than there was over this continuing resolution that Congress tried to push through. 

January 6th, we always suspected, was a set-up job, standard practice for the three-lettered government agencies over many decades.  People were upset that there was election fraud and that they were going to lose President Trump to vast government corruption.  So they showed up to protest it, as they had a right to do.  The FBI decided to try to work the situation to its advantage by putting paid informants, 26 of them, at the Capitol and instigating trouble by leading the effort to vandalize and destroy property, which Ray Epps was essentially caught on camera doing.  Christopher Wray denied that he had any FBI assets at the site and that the accusations of such misconduct were purely conspiratorial.  Few believed him.  However, in December of 2024, we learned otherwise that there were 26 such people the January 6th committee had not interviewed or anybody for that matter.  We know the names.  We know what their financial compensation was.  We know everything except who told them to do what and what they told the angry mob to do to provoke violence and start a scandal they hoped would lay cover fire for their coup against a people’s picked government.  Trump was the pick of voters, and they played their part in running a coup against him to maintain control of the government against the people of our nation and the voting system we use to establish authority.  This is all nasty stuff to add to a series of horrendously terrible things.  That’s how it will be for a while; I’ll be reporting a series of horrible things that must be punished aggressively and without mercy.  Otherwise, we won’t have a future as a country. 

Yes, the FBI lied to us, as has most of the government.  And the January 6th prisoners have to be released as soon as possible, and they deserve recourse against those who put them in jail.  All those who participated in orchestrating that coup against Trump and then tried to incite violence to cover up the attempt and put the shoe of violence on the other foot have to be punished brutally.  And some out there will wonder if it needs to be that excessive.  Hey, it doesn’t matter if it’s a small or big culture; if people do wrong, they must be punished.  And pushing them out of their jobs and getting them out of the culture you want to fix is the first big step.  Many people have done wrong that has to be removed, starting with Christopher Wray.  But there will be many more to come and remember as you watch them cry and scream like little kids who didn’t get candy at the checkout line.  They are lucky we are so righteous.  Because they deserve it.  But continuing with the mess they created and expecting to slide fake money under the door to pay for it all is not how we will do things in the future.  Our government must work for our country’s people; it must serve them.  Not the other way around.  The people do not serve the parasites who have been running it.  And we are putting a stop to it.  That’s why we elected Trump, and he understands that.  And he has committed to the job.  And that’s how the spaghetti in the kitchen will be made with D.O.G.E.  Placating evil with friendships got us into this mess.  Now, there is going to be pain, lots of it.  And nobody has seen anything yet.  Get ready because 2025 is going to be a wild, historic year.  But more than anything, it’s all necessary because so many did so many bad things leading up to this.  And honestly, they are lucky to be alive after what they did. And in this case, they put rats in MAGA hats and tried to use that ruse to commit a vast series of crimes.  And they got caught.

Why Trump Won: Brand building is the key to establishing and maintaining relationships

So many important lessons can be learned from the Trump election of 2024.  But, the reason Trump won has yet to be talked about much.  The assumption is that Elon Musk came in at the last minute, after the assassination attempt in July, and put many millions of dollars into Trump’s campaign as the world’s richest man.  But to assume that, you would have to believe that money wins elections and that those who raise the most money and spend it will win the election.  Of course, the media, which sells ads and makes its money off politics during elections, wants everyone to think that.  But it wasn’t true.  Kamala Harris spent on her 2024 campaign 1.5 billion dollars and ended up, at the end of it, millions of dollars in debt.  She spent more than she had, which was a lot.  Who in their right mind gave her money who had that kind of money?  I could have told them they were wasting their time.  Wait, come to think of it, I did tell them.  But they didn’t listen.  Reports say that Trump spent much less than that, hovering around the 1 billion dollar mark, which is what many think it takes to run for president these days, but I’m not even sure that is the case.  But the bottom line is that Kamala spent a lot of money and didn’t move the needle in any kind of positive direction.  So why?  That’s the most critical question.  If Trump and Kamala spent even more money, why did the money spent work more for one, not the other?  So you can’t say that Elon Musk bought Trump the election, that would not be accurate. Instead, something much more important happened, and Trump did a masterful job at it, as we would all expect. 

A person’s brand is one of the most essential attributes of their personality; it’s how people come to know you and what they think of you when you aren’t around them anymore.  In everything you do in life, you must build your brand and use it to gain cooperation from your peers.  I have a very strong brand presence on many fronts.  For instance, I was having a fancy dinner with many people with strong opinions about my brand.  We were all ordering dessert, and the people with us at this dinner were from all over the world.  So I ordered a cake with many special effects to demonstrate how extraordinary the desserts were at this dinner and encourage our guests to be a little daring.  After all, I figured my brand was so good that I could handle a little wildness.  So I ordered a special cake, which came out with dry ice spewing everywhere. A tree made of cotton candy came out on top of it.  Those combinations of things made my dinner guests laugh because of the contrasts.  They were not very “manly” things to do and seemed like something they would never expect coming from me.  But that’s also why the Trump Dance works for Trump at rallies; it contrasts his tough guy image.  That image is his brand, and it’s how people learn the nature of the values of the advocate.  Without a brand image to maintain, my ordering the cake and the reaction to it would have just been about food.  But I made it into something else to advance why we were having the dinner together in the first place, as a team-building event that people would not soon forget. 

Trump has been one of the best in the world at building and applying brands.  His family name, Trump, is recognized worldwide and establishes quality and luxury for those who see it.  Trump built the brand over a long period and, about ten years ago, decided to use it to put America on its back and to Make America Great Again.  When people saw the Trump Brand anywhere in the 80s and 90s, they think of wealth and luxury, which is a way for Trump to take The Power of Positive Thinking and apply it to wealth generation.  So when Trump decided to run for office in 2015, he just brought his brand with him and beat Hillary Clinton based on the strength of his brand, as he spent a fraction of the money most campaigns would to win such a high office.  When he disrupted the system and everyone in the world came after him, Trump used his brand to rise above the critics in a way only his extensive, positive brand would have allowed.  Like my story about the cake, if you have a strong brand, you can provoke much action that either supports or contrasts it.  For my dinner guests, expecting an uncompromising gunslinger to shoot anybody who does injustice is a sharp contrast to sitting there eating a chocolate cake with pink cotton candy all over the top.  Showing such a moment of comparison within my brand earns trust because it contrasts my customary behavior.  But without the brand, there wouldn’t be any opinions or jokes to evolve a dialogue of trust that was needed for such a moment.  On a much larger scale, Trump used his brand to carry the lofty goal of Making America Great Again into a value system people felt they could invest in.  And they did.

One of my favorite campaign items from the 2024 election is a Trump 2024 switchblade.  I obtained it under unusual conditions, and it was undoubtedly one of the best souvenirs of Trump I had ever seen during the election.  Trump’s name was on everything, from knives to hats to shirts, flags, glasses, anything and everything.  And that was because Trump had built a brand that gave value to obtaining those items.  That Trump knife would be just another knife if it didn’t have Trump 2024 written on it.  On the other hand, Kamala spent a lot more money trying to create an impression, but her brand didn’t have roots in which people could invest.  So, as she tried to make an impression on voters, she did not have a brand that people could understand and invest in.  Nobody was rushing out to buy a Harris hat or shirt.  But people were flocking to buy a Trump hat.  They couldn’t make enough of them.  And in the end, that is what ended up mattering most.  Even though Elon Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the MAGA movement and Trump himself, it was Trump who built a brand worth investing in.  Without the brand, the money was tossed to the wind like drunk gamblers in a casino late at night. The brand allows people to invest in the person who built it, for better or worse.  But once you have the brand, you can use it to sell ideas to people who have enough rooting to grab on and take action.  And the Democrats, they didn’t do any of that.  They tried to create impressions but had no substance behind their brand to sell an idea.  That caused them to toss much money at the effort only to have it wasted because there was no brand worth investing in.  So the ideas that Democrats had couldn’t be sold to a public so empty that they’d buy any impression.  When it came to Trump, people bought into a brand he had built for over 4 decades, and he put it all at risk to become president.  And as a result, the brand outlasted the attempts to destroy it.  Now, with that brand value, America can do as Trump’s brand indicates: to Make America Great Again.  When people see that term, they think of quality, wealth, and tenacity.  And the nation can rally to the cause because a brand can sell the idea and sustain the results.  Rather than just creating more false impressions that people have become long weary of.  And this will be the case for politics over the coming century.  It’s not enough to spend money. Instead, the money has to have a brand that people want to invest in and make it their own.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vote No on the MidPointe Library System in Butler County, Ohio: They only do well for diabolical Democrats and Marxist losers intent on the destruction of America

No, I’m not supporting the MidPointe Library System tax levy in Butler County, Ohio.  They want too much money for a product that is only good for Democrats.  Libraries these days tend to be breeding grounds for liberals so I tend not to like them anyway.  And I say that as a person who probably loves books more than anybody, locally, regionally, or this side of the Mississippi River.  I would say that books are my number one love in the world, I read around three books per week and on all kinds of different topics.  I think they are excellent ways to advance human civilization and the perpetuation of knowledge.  And in their infancy, I would say libraries were a good idea so that people who couldn’t afford books, or couldn’t get access to them any other way, could get access to vast amounts of information.  But those days are long gone. These days, libraries are meeting centers for radical Democrats who are plotting to take over the world one child at a time.  And they just aren’t worth the money.  There is a strong socialist vibe to libraries where sharing is their centerpiece.  I haven’t been to a library for three decades.  I did have one summer, my first one after graduating high school where I went to the library several times a week to read lots and lots of books.  But I hated to take them back, and since then I have just bought all my books each week.  I had wished that I had been able to keep all those books that I read out of the library, rather than taking them back because for me reading is a conquest, and I like to look at them later.  And to refer to them often.  So even though the books at the library are free, you don’t get to keep those adventures after and can’t refer to them over the years as brain development grows because ownership isn’t the key feature of libraries.  Sharing knowledge is, and that’s not really what book reading is all about.  It’s about transferring knowledge from one person to another, not in some socialist utopia of mass understanding.  That might have been a noble concept, but certainly not the reality. 

The cost of the MidPointe Library system in Butler County, Ohio, is $43.75 in taxes per $100,000 of home.  But who lives in a $100K home these days? Such a place would be a shack by today’s standards.  So, the actual cost of the levy to the average resident is around $150.  The library system will tell everyone that they serve around 600,000 visitors annually.  There are 400,000 people in Butler County, so we are talking about a lot of people, but with all that activity, we have not seen much of an increase in literacy or proper political thinking.  Libraries have become, over time, gathering places for Democrats because of their free access to information that brings out the degenerates into one place.  Most of the time, Republican-minded people don’t gather at the library to talk about a book.  They gather there to meet on below-the-line topics that work against individualism, which is why, even as an avid reader, I have not been back to a library in decades.  The MidPointe Library System does have a presence in Liberty Center Mall, which looks good from the food court.  I prefer a bookstore like Barnes and Noble to a library where moochers are attracted to the free aspect of getting a book, taking it home, reading it, and then bringing it back for someone else to share in that experience.  I like that people want to read books, but I like it better when they want to buy them and turn knowledge into a possession.  Not a shared experience. 

The MidPointe Library System says that for every dollar spent on a library, there is a return to the regional economy of $5 to $9 as if to justify the enormous expense of justifying them for the public. But I don’t see the massive expansion of intelligence that such a return on investment projects.  Literacy is way down where it clearly shouldn’t be.  Our education system for kids is a trash heap that carries over into the library system; people are learning all the wrong things.  It’s not enough to have an education; somewhat, what we learn truly matters.  And the kind of books that libraries offer are not exactly bastions of conservative value.  So, even if the return on investment is high, we have to question whether it’s the right kind of dollars for the correct type of investment.  We live in a time where the Internet has been the most significant decentralization of information in the history of the world, and more people have access to information that way than through a library card.  The rate at which people can consume information is much higher than it has ever been.  So why do we have literacy problems when just about every human being these days reads more than ever through online services and texting between associates? We value this kind of knowledge because places like public schools and libraries steer people toward the wrong thinking process.  People need physical assets to remind them of what they experienced.  Not taken back to the library and stored for some other slack-jawed loser to come along and have equal opportunity to acquire that knowledge.

The value of the library isn’t knowledge as individuals possess it; it’s in the shared community values of sameness.  They are essentially communist concepts because of their shared trait.  I was reminded of this the other day while at Half Priced Books, which I love.  But usually, they deal with books from personal collections and libraries that have failed somewhere, and they have a similar feel to libraries, where the books have been previously owned and have the emotional residue of other people on them.  Half Priced Books is an excellent place to find treasures that have been forced underground or out of print.  But like most things of value, we don’t share our food, we don’t share our spouses, and we don’t share our books, our traveled knowledge acquired through a lot of work and personal investment.  After you’ve read a book, you should keep the book as a trophy of the journey.  You don’t share it with some other slug; never to return to it later.  I have found that I reread many books at different periods of my life as my intellect grows.  What you read in your twenties tends to modify when you are forty or fifty because of brain development.  So, for all those reasons and more, I would like to see the MidPointe Library System go away and the people who typically go there fade away into the distance.  Libraries tend to make more Democrats by facilitating their socialist whims and are significant impediments to the kind of proper emotional growth that healthy human beings would otherwise evolve into.  Just because something is free doesn’t mean it’s right.  Experiences are not the same as possession of knowledge.  And reading a book is only a small part of gaining experience.  Taking an experience back to the library so somebody else can “experience” it too is a concept of Marx and the rest of the below-the-line Europeans who got information sharing wrong right out of the gate as the printing press was invented.  Libraries might have been a benefit initially when people couldn’t afford books, but the marketplace has made books so easily accessible that owning books is better.  And why I will vote No on the MidPointe Library Tax Levy in the 2024 election.

David Campbell’s Child Pornography Case at Butler Tech: The real danger lurking behind the teaching profession

I couldn’t talk about it at the time in August when David Campbell was indicted on 23 counts of child pornography.  I know him a bit; he runs the Butler Tech robotics division as the director.  I want to think that Butler Tech does good things for kids who need opportunities, so the story of yet another teacher who has sexual problems is just piling on at this point.  I’d be happy to hear that there is any teacher who is happily functioning productively these days because radicalism has taken over the profession in such devastating ways.  And this news only confirms its tragedy.  But more than anything, I was serving on a grand jury in the next county that involved many of the same kinds of cases and investigations. I would contaminate the cases I was hearing testimony to by providing comments.  And it was during this grand jury session, I heard about Campbell, which bothered me quite a lot.  Because I had known this guy, I shook his hand and worked with him on several occasions.  Twenty-three counts is a lot, and because I was a foreman on that grand jury, I had the context as to just what those charges were and how prosecutors presented the case.  And what kind of evidence has to be produced to get such a broad indictment.  Knowing all that, the chances of David Campbell being innocent of those charges are slim.  For my cases, I had to watch much evidence of what child pornography is, what it means to possess it, and peddle it by sending it to someone else.  When that information goes to the IP address on your personal computer, there is no way it could have gotten there unless he wanted to obtain it freely. 

Until my grand jury service, I had never seen child pornography, and specifically anal sex.  I have heard people talk about it, but there was a part of me that thought the possibility of applying sexual applications to a bodily exit was impossible.  I could not see how such a thing could be considered sexual, let alone to have fully grown adults apply such a technique to children.  It’s one thing for people to say something about it; it’s another to see.  For several child pornography cases, I had to see things in testimony that I had thought were previously impossible.  These cases were essentially the same as what Dave Campbell was being indicted for, so it wasn’t good.  And what was worse was a look into that world where so much of this child pornography was out there.  It wasn’t unique and hard to find.  It was abundant and detrimental.  The amount of people that were involved in this child pornography network was very high. And the cause of it was vast and highly destructive.  But any claim that a person in his position could make that the pornography accidently ended up on his computer and that he was innocent of the charges was an almost next-to-nothing chance.  I have gone my entire life up to this point not seeing anything close to resembling child pornography, so it’s certainly easy to avoid until I served on a grand jury where I had to see evidence in cases like the one charging Dave Campbell.  So that made me even more angry about it, and I wasn’t going to comment until my jury service was over, which it is now.  And to say I’m disappointed again by the Butler Tech teachers would be a vast understatement.

It is impossible to mentor young people if anybody allows their mind to consume child pornography in any state.  I can’t understand any sexual practice that does not involve a perfect recreation area applied to a female application process in the way that makes a baby.  Sex is designed to be a bottomless pit of perversion to provide the kind of stimuli it takes to procreate.  And that, by design, should only happen a few times in a person’s life, enough to produce a few kids.  Sexual lifestyles cannot be a hobby like building model airplanes.  If you are always looking for perversions to stay interested in it, you are going to go insane.  It takes the intellect of a human being not to act out of primal cravings like some dog humping the leg of a chair whenever they get excited.  Humans are supposed to rise above that intellect to higher places.  And child pornography has no place in a healthy society, especially among teachers who are teaching young people.  Once that line has been crossed, there is no going back.  No reform for David Campbell will allow him to teach children again.  But the worst part of this case is that he’s not alone.  Under the current woke rules of entry, the teaching profession is filled with these broken types of people.  And my grand jury experience showed me just how vast this network is.  It would be sad if it were only one child.  And I would consider experiencing sex with that one child a capital offense with at least life in jail.  But I saw a video with hundreds and hundreds of different kids, which is a peek into a very dark world that, at the very minimum, has to be defunded and disabled.  There is no redeeming value for people convicted of child pornography. 

The more people I know in the world, the more disappointed I am with their conduct.  Dave Campbell, when you meet him, gives off no trace that he would be so interested in child pornography.  He acted like a perfectly average person.  So, knowing all this only leads to my suspicion of how many teaching professionals are doing this.  And based on my personal experience, not just with this case but over the years, it is much higher than 1% of the population.  This is a dire situation considering just nearby Lakota schools, which are also in Butler County.  It’s why parents were so upset at the behavior of the Lakota superintendent when he indicated any sexual attractiveness to children in a police report taken under questioning.  People know how dangerous this child pornography issue is and how many kids are being pulled into it by trusted adults, only to be ruined forever in such devastating ways. By the time some of these teachers talk and share stories in the teacher’s lounge, we are seeing a vast network of well-paid people with way too much recreational time on their hands to feed these obsessive traits of unhealthy sex practices.  It’s bad enough when it’s adults who explore all these permissive lifestyles of pornographic sex practices.  Because those lifestyles don’t generate excitement any longer, turning to the perversion of child pornography is a common step, not a unique one.  It breeds participants in the teaching profession because they have access to so many children, and their high rate of pay and short working hours give them too much time to feed a destructive personality disorder that is too easily concealed by public facades of the teaching profession.  I think there are a lot of Dave Campbells out there; they just haven’t been caught yet because it takes so much time to collect the evidence, and the prosecutors can’t get them all, especially the borderline cases, which is even worse in the context of Dave Campbell from Butler Tech.

Dumb People Want More Taxes to Pay for More Bad Government: Why pay for more of something bad

What’s different now as opposed to any time in the past is that President Trump is talking about real and substantial tax cuts, whereas the Harris communists are seeking to perpetually raise them, with nonsense like “tax the rich” and “pay your fair share.”  Well, who determines a “fair share,” these government losers are addicted to spending like crack addicts looking for the next hit.  When we look at our government and talk about taxes, we are talking about paying for more government that does less for us without expecting the quality of a job done.  It’s a ridiculous proposal.  And as the Democrats say the same old thing in an election year and we watch gas prices drop under three dollars per gallon right before the election, hoping to sucker people into voting for these idiots one more time, what they are more than asking for is more money to get a government that serves us horribly and to like it.  And to like it so much that we suspend any expectation of performance, which is appalling.  The differences between one vision and the other couldn’t be more stark.  Trump is proposing to remove taxes not just on tips but on overtime pay as well, which is a wonderful idea.  One thing that America could really use is incentives to work more, not less.  What the idiots behind COVID-19 did to our global employment culture has been ridiculous.  There are still lazy people who want to work from home instead of getting back to work over the whole social distancing policy, which has turned out to be a complete and total scam created by the United Nations administrative state losers and their schemes of social detriment. Trump understands from experience that economic growth occurs when people are not penalized for doing more work. 

To the mind of the socialists, communists, and general global citizen Marxists, government expansion means a job without any expectations for performance attached to it.  The purpose of growing government is to develop well-paying jobs that don’t expect to actually do anything.  The pay for that job comes from the government’s ability to steal the money from the people it is supposed to serve and give it to people who have done nothing to deserve it.  This has always been a problem, and people have complained about it since the beginning of the concept of government.  The government is resented when it uses its force to take what doesn’t belong to it for service to itself.  And those lazy in our society seek government employment to protect their ability to make a pressure-free living, which shows up in various degrees of corruption throughout all human activity.  When money is made too easy to get through coercion, your political system has planted and watered the seeds of corruption.  Trump understands, as any real economist does that by letting people keep more of what they make, they work more to get more, and the economy does better.  But most people in government, especially those who call themselves Democrats, do not grasp that concept because they see government as the way to make the most money with the least risk possible.  That’s why all these billionaires find refuge in the Democrat party, because the power of government protects them from the risk of competition, and therefore, the money paid in taxes is less than the risk of going toe to toe with competition in the free and open marketplace.  For all these people, big government is less risky, which settles their timid minds from the realities of social performance. 

But with all our talk of revolution, the tactical approach well before we pick up arms against a tyrannical government is to defund it.  With the discussions of more budgets in the current and future congress, if we do not like the government we have, then why should we continue to throw money at it?  They are just going to waste it.  For all the money they have given to Ukraine, the cost of our more than 35 trillion dollars in debt is, for the first time, a trillion dollars to pay for the people who have loaned us money; why on earth would we waste more money on such a ridiculous government.  That is the question that losers like Kamala Harris and the Obama clan have never asked or answered. They expect that if they need more money to waste on more growth in government, then we are obligated to pay it like some slack-jawed dope-smoking loser.  And that isn’t how it is.  We are in control, not them.  And if you don’t like the service you are getting from the government, we can more than deny those funds to the people misusing them.  It’s no different than telling a crack addict that you aren’t going to give them more crack to destroy their lives with.  Government is addicted to spending, and they expect us to fund that addiction.  When in reality, they should be given less to force them to reduce their growth into a more manageable and efficient government.  The source of the problem is that significant government types have no expectation of performance placed on them, so they don’t see money as a measure to be earned but taken by the force of government to feed an addictive personality that leads in only one direction: corruption.

Behind all the anger at Trump is that this trend culminates in a genuinely accountable government, perhaps for the first time in history.  We knew there would be pushback when we talked about draining the swamp.  But the level of violence that we have witnessed has been obtuse in several respects that are simply unreasonable.  The assumption that people would always pay these ridiculous prices for a government that isn’t even good would never work.  And when there are surprises that so many people are turning to Trump to provide a much-reduced government that asks for far less money, we shouldn’t be surprised.  However, the plan never reasonably paid for all these useless government employees.  We’ve seen plenty of government workers who have gone wrong; James Comey and Dr. Fauci come to mind.  If you interview the typical government employee, you will generally find the same kind of lazy losers looking to inflate their egos with the power of government service without the expectation of actually doing anything.  And to be paid extraordinarily high for doing it.  Why would we want more people doing anything from a power position like that?  That’s why a less powerful government is the only way to go.  We need a government big enough to do the work of the people it serves.  But too small to impose themselves on the public as an oppressive force.  We are not obligated to pay a fair share, determined by those with broken minds, to continue to grow something that is a detriment.  With the Trump election, the government is positioned to reduce its size dramatically, and through the election process, we have a peaceful right to do so under the need to administer those resources as a country.  We do not have an obligation to support the cause of global government with all its problems of corruption and ineffectiveness.  And to pay for it with all our hard-earned money.  Then, we suffer the consequences of having it.  No, it’s time for a fundamental change, and perhaps for the first time in history, it’s within our reach if only we dare to perform the task.

How Everyone on Earth Could Get Rich: A Space Economy with 16 Psyche’s 700 quadrillion dollars of Value–what a Trump/Ramaswamy Administration Could Start

The other day, I was talking to some very smart, rich, and well-credentialed people, that I thought was the kind of conversation that a lot of other people would benefit from.  The subject was Vivek Ramaswamy, why he should be the V.P. for Trump, and how he has a definite economic plan that will carry over well into 2028.  In the short run, it’s all about BlackRock’s destruction and strengthening the dollar from this global banking cartel of destroying it in favor of globalism, and for America to be great again, we needed to produce around 57 trillion dollars of value to pay off our national debt, and the lingering costs, and then some.  And where on earth were we going to get that kind of wealth?  That’s where things went sideways because I started talking about space.  Now, some of these people are very rich; some were PhDs and had several Master’s Degrees in various fields, from law to engineering, and they didn’t see a way out.  Their wealth had been built off the traditional model of real estate, where three generations watched the value of a property increase proportionally until everything flamed out and people couldn’t afford the new pricing structure.  Then, the economy collapses, and a new country takes over as the key destination.  Globalism has tried to set that scenario up to be China, and corporate communism has bet everything on that eventuality.  But I told them that space was where it was at.  I said we needed a divorce from globalism.  They said we need each other with interdependence; otherwise, everything would fall apart.  I told them that Vivek had an excellent economic plan to undo the work that BlackRock has done to the world and that while that was going on, SpaceX was going to refine its Starship craft so that in a few years, there would be two or three built every week, and they would be launching into space just as fast.  That left them all looking at me and asking why.

A space economy is a new frontier, and people do not yet see the benefits of it.  And I know that SpaceX isn’t just thinking of a space economy that will make America wealthy again.  Under a Trump/Ramaswamy administration, returning to an oil-based economy will solve most of our problems, quickly.  But what about after that?  They didn’t see why we would even go to space because there was nothing there.  Why would Elon Musk want to colonize Mars, the moon, or any place else?  Again, these are all brilliant, rich, and influential people.  And what I was talking about was science fiction to them.  At least until I told them about the asteroid between Mars and Jupiter called 16 Psyche, which has on its 150-mile surface over 700 quadrillion dollars in gold and precious metals.  And that’s just on one asteroid.  The next great gold rush will be in mining companies who can go to these asteroids, which Starship will make the whole experience very easy, and our entire national debt will be gone with a new value economy that the world is not prepared for.  America would be prosperous; and would forever take humanity deep into space with the wealth gained.  Legend has it that the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter used to be the planet Tiamat.  It was abundant in gold, and once it was destroyed, its occupants left and formed colonies on other planets, like Earth.  That is why all Earth cultures worship gold the way they do as a precious metal: because it is the subconscious reaction to the grief we all feel from our lost homeworld.  And that stories of Atlantis, Eden, and the foundations of all Earth cultures spawned from this lost knowledge.  This is about when everyone stopped eating and wondering if what I was saying was the next great thing or the utterances of insanity from someone who has read too many science fiction books. 

But what wasn’t in question was that 16 Psyche was a massive opportunity from a mining perspective.  We need precious metals on Earth for many reasons, not just direct monetary value, and going into space didn’t hurt anybody.  There were no indigenous people to exploit, as is the excuse of the first few gold rushes on Earth, such as the one where Spain raided Central and South America.  Then, in the western expansion, Americans found gold in California and ran through the Indians to get to it.  On 16 Psyche, there are no Indians or Aztecs.  It’s just a destroyed collection of rocks floating around in space.  You must land on them and pick up enough gold and platinum to fuel Earth’s economies for centuries with a few full payloads.  It’s relatively easy, and given the trajectory of SpaceX and their massive Boca Chica plant in Texas, they will have done their part within ten years.  Starship will be like a trucking line, always in space doing something.  To pay for those things, we know right now that there is plenty of gold and other metals of value to cover the costs.  But first, on earth, we have to put down all these Marxist plots meant to rule the world from the perspective of centralized banking and governments of communism to suppress any competition from limited resources.  The plan I was talking about would completely obliterate all those previous assumptions.  So I spoke about a very different future than they had feared, and they were at least listening. 

The key is to have a friendly administration in the White House and that all these fights between political ideologies have it out and destroy those who are holding back the human race.  There are way too many opportunities for the future to get hung up on anything.  And people like Vivek Ramaswamy get it.  He’s the future face of America, and under this next Trump administration, he’ll be able to shape economic policy with the kinds of opportunities in mind that I was talking about, with a space economy.  And many of the miseries we are experiencing today will be long gone tomorrow if we are smart and play our cards right.  The best thing we could all do is use Trump’s celebrity status to put people like Vivek Ramaswamy in a position to free the lost talent deeply suppressed in the global marketplace and expand the human intellect of the planet and into new horizons for good.  And what I was saying was not science fiction, but are the opportunities for tomorrow, today.  The future is not way out there anymore.  We are living it now, and all it will take to uncover it are some bold personality types to unleash the best that human beings can bring to thought.  We see that unleashed at the SpaceX facility in Texas in many ways.  What they are doing and an excellent economic platform for the next Trump administration are opportunities for infinite enthusiasm.  And we will quickly outpace the communist detriments of globalism driven by aristocrats and not dollars and sense.  Their power is wholly based on limited resources to stay in control.  I mentioned to this group that there was so much wealth that every human being on planet Earth could be very wealthy.  And our future would be out there, not right here.  And while that might rattle previous assumptions, it’s right in front of our faces to grab onto.  If only we dare to do so.
