Judge Boasberg is Out of His Mind and Should be Impeached: When throwing rocks at glass houses, make sure they can’t come back

Republicans should have already referred James Boasberg for impeachment for his judicial lawfare against the Trump administration for gross overstepping of his authority, an attempted erosion of the President’s Article II powers, and made an example of him.  We did not elect these judges into their positions; they were appointed, and if they don’t do a good job, there needs to be a mechanism to eliminate them.  And that is the complete case with this goofy judge thinking he has the power to stop the President from sending prisoners and violent criminals out of America, to an El Salvadorian prison.  And it’s not just in America but across the world. We recently saw judicial tampering in France to knock off a political rival there, who was up in the polls and poised to beat Macron.  We also saw judicial overreach in South Korea to remove President Yoon through impeachment.  What we are seeing on the world stage is essentially a replay of the Book of Judges from the Bible where flawed personalities are positioning themselves to have kingly power, which they abuse, and to use that power to remove the ability of people to vote for their representation, rather than having an authority system imposed on them.  This judicial loser, Boasberg, in Washington, D.C., is way over his skis, and he should be thrown out of his office by Republicans defending the President.  But this lawfare system evolved to protect the establishment from the will of the people, not to enforce their will, and we see it in literally every country.  The problem goes back to before the Bible, not just in the United States.  And too often, Republicans have their hands dirty from their own antics in the cookie jar, so when they need to defend a judicial topic, they can’t, because they played the game themselves and can’t cast stones against the glasshouse they live in.  Another thing I say all the time is make your life so that you can cast stones and shatter people’s glass houses.  And be sure to judge often.  And be sure, while you’re doing all this, to live in a house made of bricks and that it’s impenetrable to any rocks coming back at you.  You can afford to throw rocks at other people and break their glass houses, but they can’t do the same to you.

All this judicial radicalism reminds me of a local issue, and it comes up every week as a question given to me about why I don’t want to run for the Lakota school board, even though I get asked about it every week, many times a week.  One of the big reasons I have watched over a long period of time is that being elected into a school board position is useless because lawyers run the public school in my neighborhood, which was never clearer than in the case of Darbi Boddy.  To help with the school board issue, I have put my name behind several people to be elected or to sit on the school board and to help get management there that could represent voters and give kids a decent place to attend school.  But in the case of Darbi, one that I recently worked with to be on the school board, who I thought was doing an excellent job was removed from her seat by the lawyers who protect their system from the crazy voters who might want to manage their school system and the tax money that feeds these schools.  When they couldn’t get rid of Darbi any other way, a judge, who I know, stuck his nose into the situation and pitted one school board member that I worked with to get elected against the other one and imposing a restraining order that essentially kept Darbi from doing her job and getting her off the school board on a technicality.  So, for all those people wanting me to be on the school board and to do what I do to help voters have real representation, I live by a few rules, and I would never put myself in one of those positions where some stupid judge could throw rocks at me.  I throw the stones so that they never come back.

I felt so bad for Darbi because she wants to help politically and could be good in politics.  But the system wants to protect itself just as it has been doing with Trump, which is why you don’t see Republicans rushing to Trump’s defense in that Boesman case.  They like having these lawyers in control because it gives them fake power that is always enforceable by the invisible overreach of the judiciary.  And it’s in every local consideration.  Even I, knowing all the players, did not know just how bad the situation was until I watched that process work against Darbi Boddy.  Nothing changes because the lawyers run the schools, and the only people who survive on these school boards, no matter what they are, stick around because the lawyers let them.  The lawyers want easy money, and taxpayer-funded schools are ripe ground for exploitation, and there are always court cases when many thousands of people are involved, from students and their parents to unionized staff.  Lawyers run public schools, and I don’t like lawyers.  I do legal work for fun.  I think only con artists do it for a living.  And if I were on the Lakota school board the way it is now, it would be a glasshouse with a foundation of lawyers who keep it all held up, and that is not something I’m interested in. 

It’s good to have this conversation.  I love the idea of judicial oversight.  For fun, I spent considerable time a few weeks ago at the Supreme Court, so I’m certainly not talking about anarchy.  I know a lot of judges and have known a lot of lawyers over the years, and the key to those positions is that to do their jobs, they have to be good people.  And most people in legal work are not good people.  They are trying to hide from the world that they are bad people, trying to hide it with long black robes and legal scholarship.  However, the system itself is poised toward corruption, and you can hear that in the Boesman case, where he thinks he has authority over Trump’s Article II responsibilities as an elected office holder.  Boesman is out of his mind, and I would like to see my congressman, Warren Davidson, move to impeach Judge Boesman immediately for tampering with Trump, our elected representative.  But then again, many Republicans saw this all happen to a local politician, Darbi Boddy, and they hung her out to dry.  And let me say this, that would never be me.  And when we work to find people who want to be on that stupid school board, good, quality people are not running and staying on the school board because the lawyers keep proper management of the school, or the Executive Branch, from happening.  And until we deal with the problem of judicial overreach, where judges want to be unelected kings, we will always have a broken system.  And it won’t be reformed because the lawyers protect themselves with legal technicalities, so good work can’t be done because their targets are always in court, from shattered glass houses.  Don’t live in a glass house; be sure the rocks only go one way.

Defeating China and the Linkedln Losers: The gunfighter at the bar with their back to the room

Let me say it again about China; I’ve been saying it for a long time.  That’s why my LinkedIn account has been suspended, and I don’t use it.  I don’t like LinkedIn, Facebook, and a lot of social media sites because of their globalist intentions and dedication to the construction of China, which was to make them into a superpower and compete with the United States on the world stage.  China is a dump.  I don’t like the communist country, and I don’t like getting things from them.  By default, many of the products we used to make in America were, by policy, pushed over into China for many reasons, most of them not good.  And I have never thought of it as a good idea.  So when I wrote my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business and I did press for it, I was very critical of China because some of the people most attracted to my book were people who also supported the decoupling movement from China, as we had grown too dependent on a sworn enemy, and that needed to change.  The Chinese are propped up enemies, which could be said to be most of our enemies over modern history, including Hitler.  They are made villains, not the type of people who, through cunning and diligence, leaped onto the world stage and suddenly became relevant.  No, they were made, China was made, by wealth redistribution to be villains who would drive the back door effort at a one-world order run by the United Nations with socialist governments.  So I explained in my press how to defeat China in a decoupling effort, one that appeared on the LinkedIn platform, which is grotesquely pro-China, and they were so upset about it that they banned me from the platform.  Up to that point, I had reluctantly maintained a LinkedIn page. I get a lot of offers to do a lot of consulting work, and I do what I do.  But LinkedIn to me has always been a den of thieves and con artists who prop themselves up to be fluffier than they really are, and I don’t find those types of people who use the service very valuable in real life.  They are usually propped-up caricatures, just like China ironically. 

After interviewing with a decoupling PAC out of Los Angeles, who were very interested in my book and plastered it all over their social media, the LinkedIn people banned my page and demanded that I apologize for what I said about how America could trounce China in a new war.  I said the next war in the world would not involve tanks or troops but control over finance.  And Larry Fink and the gang of thugs at BlackRock were funneling looted Wall Street money from a Modern Monetary theory Federal Reserve straight into China to make them look better on paper than they actually were, and that they were highly vulnerable.  About that same time, I gave a speech to a bunch of Tea Party types of early MAGA supporters about the Gunfighter at the Bar theory, which is pretty much my summation of all business transactions.  When you have the leverage of something someone wants, you don’t have to be an appeaser.  And that stupid professional site of LinkedIn is designed for the appeasers in life, not the gunfighters at the bar.  And I further said that anybody who exploited that trait would have leverage over their enemy no matter how big they were.  China is a paper tiger propped up by the LinkedIn losers, and we don’t need either of them. 

I control the social media I use, which is how I am with everything.  I like to be in charge.  I don’t like hand-holding consensus building, and that’s all that LinkedIn is good for.  When you are the boss, you don’t need to network.  When you have something people want, your phone never stops ringing, and my phone never stops ringing, all hours of the day, all days of the week.  I have to be a little mean to people to get some time to myself, so I don’t miss the LinkedIn Losers and won’t ever ask them to restore my platform to me.  I said what I said about China and I meant it.   And now Trump is doing exactly what needs to be done to end China as a superpower and threat to the American economy.  And I’m enjoying the spectacle quite a bit.  Ironically, I didn’t write The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business for all the boot lickers of the world.  I wrote it for the gunfighters at the bar with their back to the room, because they can afford to do so.  It’s geared to a smaller audience, but it’s meant for the right people, and the fundamental business rules I learned the hard way.  It is not the kind of fake accolades from resume padding that are typical on LinkedIn.  Then once you hire those people, you find out they can only do a fraction of what they promised and are only one or two trick ponies when you need out of them 20 to 30, just like China.  So, to all those people worried about China cutting off deliveries of Boeing airplanes or cell phones and electronic equipment and upset at Trump’s tariffs, don’t worry.  Don’t be a boot licker.  China can’t win this war, and they know it, which is why they are crying so loudly now. 

Never forget what China did to us with Covid.  They released a bioweapon from a lab in Wuhan, and they killed people with it to destroy the American economy and help the World Economic Forum establish their Great Socialist Reset by shutting down the global economy with stupid work-from-home policies, while China kept chugging along uninterrupted.  They have over a billion people, so losing a few here and there wasn’t a big deal to them.  They are a communist country; they could afford the casualties that they created in the first place.  They were intent on ruining Trump during an election year, and they played their part in that rigged election that put Joe Biden into office.  China had their direct guy in our Executive Branch to directly control American policy, all of which were hostile acts of war.  And that’s precisely how China sees it, just read the book from China called Unrestricted Warfare.  That’s how they approach everything.  They declared war on us, not the other way around.  Trump is just playing the game to beat them in a way that they can’t defend themselves.  Without globalism propping up the Chinese, they are just a backwater country of massively starving people and a communist philosophy that they adopted from Europe in Karl Marx.  And they need to be exploited as the frauds that they always were, just like 99.999999999999999999999% of the LinkedIn losers who use that stupid platform to sell themselves to other losers to fluff themselves up to look smarter than they really are.  I won’t be restoring my LinkedIn account, and I very much support what Trump is doing with the tariffs against China.  They are not our friends.  We don’t need them.  And it’s time that we remove them as the hostile friends ready to stab us in the back at every moment.  And in this action, China can’t win.  And LinkedIn has been hostile to pro-American policy and is garbage now and forever in my opinion.  And I will never forgive them for what they tried to do to our country, Reid Hoffman and the rest.  Bad people deserve to be punished in the most severe way possible.  That’s why I’m not on LinkedIn to answer the questions of those who keep asking.  And that’s why what is happening to China is a great thing!  I do like Chinese food.  But I don’t like the communist country of China as a globalist superpower or any supporters of that movement.

I Missed the Lincoln Day Dinner for a Ghost Hunt: Strange creatures from beyond time and space

I didn’t make the Lincoln Day Dinner for the Butler County GOP this year because my family and I have been traveling all over the place, particularly in Eastern Ohio and West Virginia going to paranormal sites in a research project for my new book, The Politics of Heaven, and it’s all coming along very well.  I wanted to go to the dinner and do appreciate the offers to attend with people I know.  But almost to the moment, I was on a ghost hunt with my kids and grandkids that turned out to be pretty interesting, so I’m sharing it here for more than a bit of fun.  Both of my daughters are tuned in to ghostly encounters, and one is so interested in it that she makes a living painting about it, for which she travels all over the country, appearing at conventions, selling her art.  And my wife has had contact with all kinds of paranormal activity all her life; they chase her around like hungry cats looking to be fed after a hard night outside in the rain.  She’s kind, and disembodied spirits in whatever form they exist look for her, and she never fails to attract their attention.  So for my birthday this year, as research for the new book, I thought it might be fun to go to one of the most haunted places on planet Earth, the Moonville Tunnel in Vinton County, and do a ghost hunt.  The kids would get a kick out of it, and I was curious about several things that worked exactly as I thought they would.  So we went there during the day to warm the kids up to it.  Then we went back at night.  And while we were filming, we didn’t get much.  But after I turned off all the equipment, a green orb appeared, which was more than a little strange.  Made even more that way by the very remote location that Moonville is.

The Moonville Tunnel, one of the most haunted places on Earth

I tend to approach these subjects from the point of view of disproving paranormal activity.  We had gone to several locations during the past week, but I knew that the Moonville Tunnel was a prime location since something always happened every time we went over the years.  And that was the case when we walked back to the car after a reasonably detailed investigation.  When we turned off our ghost hunting equipment, my wife felt something next to her and told my grandson about it.  He took several flash photos with an iPhone, and sure enough, he was pretty freaked out by the green orb that appeared and was headed away from us back down a hill to Raccoon Creek.  I saw the image from the screen as I looked at those spots in real time, and there was nothing we could see there physically.  And I was ensuring there was no lens flair with our flashlights causing problems on the camera lens, or that light was bouncing off some bug.  It was as black as black night with no other light sources but our flashlights for many miles.  There were no homes nearby and indeed no porch lights.  The Moonville Tunnel is as far from other people as possible in Zeleski National Forest.  These kinds of woods are so remote that they have frequent bigfoot sightings, and other things, just because of the area’s nature.  The spirit world always spooked the Indians from the region.  The place feels haunted because of its lack of other human beings.  It stays that way because there is a single-lane gravel road that provides the only access to the area for miles and miles that runs deep into the hills. 

Green orbs are supposed to indicate a healing nature of the ghostly encounter, so who knows what kind of lifeform it was trying to emerge and interact with us?  I have seen this kind of thing before, so I wasn’t surprised as much as I was a little shocked at the repeatability of it.  Almost the same thing has happened to us several times over the years we have been to Moonville.  We do a ghost hunt, thinking that nothing happened.  We might have felt uncomfortable feeling that other people were around us, but we could see nothing we could physically see.  Sometimes, shadow people appear in the corners of our eyes, but disappear when we focus hard on them.  But later, especially when using cameras with a flash, because digital cameras mess up the color palette of the visual spectrum, things appear just outside the visual range of human eyes, and the cameras pick it up.  Because of this, I avoid flying bugs and light tricks while we are filming.  Or even moisture from breathing, so they don’t taint our experiments.  I would have been happy to do that ghost hunt with my kids and grandkids for my birthday and family time.  But what showed up in our photos was pretty good, especially since I was trying not to have anything like that happen.  But sure enough, my wife could feel something next to her.  We took a picture.  And something was there and leaving, which, given that area, was more than a little spooky and made for a long walk back to the car, knowing that these things were all around us but we couldn’t see them with our physical eyes.

Needless to say, I did get good material for my book.  I explained to everyone that the spirit, whatever it was, should be looked at as a stray cat that once you pet it, it won’t go away.  If you think about the nature of spirits living in such a place, lost in time and space, having us there was an extraordinary occurrence.  We were talking to it and giving it attention, which was probably the highlight of its existence, and you can start to feel sorry for these things when viewed that way.  I don’t think ghosts like that can do any harm; likely, they are stuck and probably aren’t very smart.  What makes them interesting is that they exist, but not in a way we understand, and the need to communicate with elements outside our perceived reality cuts through the limitations.  And I was happy that something like that happened while introducing my grandchildren to ghosts and the spirit world.  They see and hear so much on television and the internet, it was good for them to have their own experience and to approach the subject logically.  It was a long way to go to come back with nothing, and like I said, I gave up a chance to go to the Lincoln Day Dinner for the Republican Party of Butler County because of it.  And I was glad that something happened that deserved a lot of talk after.  I thought overcoming the fear of such a scary place would be good for my family, and I would have been happy if nothing happened.  But it did, leaving me scratching my head even more, but in a good way.  The spirit world is real; some creatures live in it, want to interact with us, and do much more than we’d like to admit.  But that doesn’t mean they have more power because they exist in a way that hides them from our knowing eyes.  They only have the power of concealment.  They don’t have the power of superior intelligence.

People Should Be Working More: At least 70 hours per week

It’s interesting. I put a video I did on YouTube about work ethic, which has received many opinions in the form of comments, which have stirred people.  But as I have always said, what better use of time do people have?  Why do people think it’s OK to rush home from work only to sit in front of a television and rot away?  Most people waste their free time thinking about really dumb things, and I would argue that the world would be a lot better off if people worked more, rather than less.  I think one of the dumbest things we have ever done as a society is to devise a 40-hour work week because it’s an artificial constraint that we have imposed on ourselves, and for what?  People are not better off for it.  Often when they don’t work enough in life, they don’t have the money they need to do everything, and having too much leisure time is the devil’s playground, and they end up doing dumb, unstructured things with their time.  Most people are better off working for a boss that knows how to do productive things in life, and if people would just work more, they would have much better lives.  This notion that people need to be away from work is a destructive one and was brought to us by the communist movement that came to America through labor unions.  So why is saying that people should work more so controversial?  Well, it hits a nerve because it challenges a previous assumption that a lot of people don’t realize they have adopted, that has been bad for them.  Too much free time for people who don’t know how to do good things with it is terrible for people, and making money is a good way to overcome personal problems and work toward goals.  And that most people would be much better off if they only worked a little more, around 70 hours per week.

I never celebrate Labor Day because it’s a union holiday, and they have brought society too many artificial constraints.  People were far better off when they worked more, especially on farms where they worked from sunup to sundown and sat around the kitchen table tired at the end of it.  And talking about their shared experiences together as a family.  I would add that people were even better off after all that when they shared Bible verses and fell asleep next to a roaring fire in the fireplace, never turning on the television, because they were too tired to do so.  What was attacked through the union movement was the American work ethic, which was an import from Europe and all their Marxism, and it never had any place in the American workplace.  The whole notion that the owners and industrialists are evil because they want to make money, and should be stopped by radicalizing the work force, was a weapon against American capitalism, and it was terrible from the start.  It never had a constructive place in our society and was always meant to destroy a foreign rival with an export of ideas that would cripple our industrial capacity, an artificial constraint on our manufacturing ability.  Especially after World War II, how we responded to the global war effort was terrifying to our enemy because of how Americans willingly approached their work.  Back then, America was fresh off the hard work of American expansionism. Many people who worked in the factories then were fresh off being raised on farms by good, structured families.  And the result was terrifying to the lazy of the world who didn’t have a very good work ethic. 

Many people these days rush home from work only to do what?  Sit in front of the television and waste their time.  It’s not like they are sitting at the dinner table with their families talking about their day.  They have adopted ideas that were bad for them by the very lazy Marxists in the labor movement who purposefully wanted to cripple American manufacturing with artificial constraints intent to limit American production capacity. I have never worked a 40-hour work week in my adult life.  I work on various things about 90 hours per week and still spend a lot of time with my family.  But I don’t waste much time doing things that aren’t productive.  And I find that is the way it is with most people who are successful in life.  They work a lot and don’t have much time to waste.  When Elon Musk says similar things, it’s not because he’s a billionaire looking to exploit labor.  He’s a billionaire because he doesn’t personally waste time—the same with Trump.  President Trump has always had a good work ethic.  That’s why he has been a successful person.  One of the keys to success is not to follow the time-wasting imposed on our culture by foreign adversaries, and to work more in life, instead of less.  And people who do are a lot happier.  Not only do they make more money, but they can also use it for private enterprises.  But they have a sense of purpose in life because they are doing good things with their life instead of wasting them.

This is important to think about because if we want to Make America Great Again, it comes from more than just bringing jobs back to America from foreign markets that they fled to in the first place.  We have to admit to ourselves one of the reasons those jobs left, and it was because Americans accepted stupid labor practices given to them by Marxist infiltrators in the labor movement that were destructive to a good, productive society.  And those jobs were left for places where people worked hard and were happy to do it.  Hard work is good for the mind, not bad.  Too much leisure time is destructive if not filled with other productive behaviors, unless you work hard to build family relationships.  Or working hard to build community improvement.  You are wasting your time if you aren’t being productive at something, and when the proposal for the 40-hour work week was presented, it assumed that work was something our society shouldn’t be doing, so they were looking to do the least amount of it possible.  And the results have not been good.  So, for my part, I think people should be thinking about doubling the amount of work they do in a week to keep their minds on positive activities and toward something instead of giving themselves artificial constraints.  If you are broke because you only work 40 hours per week, that’s on you.  You should be working more on other things and filling your life with productivity.  Not working at least 8 hours per day, rushing home to sit in front of the television, and eating things that make you sick anyway.  You should work longer and more days of the week and do positive things toward self-improvement, all hours of the day.  You will find a better family life and be a better person.  People have many problems because they don’t work hard enough at more things in their lives, and things tend to crumble around them.  And that was the intent of the enemy when they infiltrated our labor practices from the start.  And it’s up to us to correct it now.

Hansel and Gretel: The danger of the Oedipal Mother complex

We would do better to teach kids about fairy tales so they wouldn’t be so gullible in adult life.  People need to understand that all governments tend to become the famous Oedipal mother and that if we continue to feed it, it will seek, due to its unconscious directives, to become a destroyer of our very existence.  Government has to be managed and cannot be left alone.  Doesn’t everyone remember the story of Hansel and Gretel?  The story of the kids being taken into the woods and left there to die by a trusted caretaker?  Why are people so trusting?  Well, the answer to that one is that they are too lazy to scrutinize because action requires effort, and it is easier for the lazy person to trust everything will work out OK than to do the work of managing it.  When I see all this criticism of DOGE and Elon Musk, I hear people’s desire not to think about just how bad some government figures are.   When we used to tell fairy tales to children they were stories meant to help them see the truths of life, and to make them better people which is certainly the case of the Hansal and Gretal story of a couple of children living with their father, the woodcutter, deep in the woods with a second wife who was jealous of his children from another marriage.  Something that kids these days are undoubtedly worried about, since so many families have divorces in them and marriages to step-parents that are not as satisfying as their biological ones.  But this was a case where the woodcutter’s first wife died, and he married someone else, but they weren’t living so happily ever after.  The new wife wanted to erase the first wife’s memory, starting with the kids. 

So while the woodcutter was working in the woods, the stepmom took the children out into the forest disguised as helping their father, to lure them into her scheme, and left them there.  But the resourceful Hansel had put rocks in his pocket, knowing the stepmother was up to no good, and he left a trail back to his house in case they got lost.  And by following the trail of rocks, they could return to the house to their father.  The angry stepmom did the same thing the next day, and this time Hansel left breadcrumbs.  When the crazy woman left the children alone in the forest, the brother and sister thought they would return the way they had the previous time.  But this time, forest animals ate the bread, so the clever trail was gone.   Now the kids had a big problem.  They searched and searched but could not find their way home.  But they found a gingerbread house, and they were very hungry, so they endeavored to eat from it, which provoked from within its contents the classic Oedipal mother, who invited them inside to care for them with great kindness.  But the kindness wasn’t because she was a good woman; it was meant to hide her great evil desire to eat the children, because she was a psychopath.  Her gentle kindness was a lure to lower the defenses of the children and earn their trust so that she could bring their demise to her profit.  And many kind people like this evil woman who lived in the gingerbread house exist, everywhere.  The kids were hungry and distressed, missing the comfort of their strong father.  But what choice did they have? They were lost.  And when people are in such a condition, there is always someone trying to take advantage of them.

The Oedipal mother complex is a classic case of the overbearing mother who saturates a child with too much love, not because she loves the child, but because she wants to consume them for her own needs.  In this case, the crazy woman was very kind because she wanted to fatten up the children with too much food and coddled them so they wouldn’t want to run away from her.  But her intentions from the start were evil and exploitive.  There are many parents, especially women, who will try to give their kids everything not because they love them, but because they want to use them as a mask for their insecurities, so they hide their malice behind kindly motherhood to cripple the kids so they never want to move away from her and live their own lives like Norman Bates’ mom in Psycho.  Their goal, these evil mothers, is to create failure-to-launch kids, kids who hang around the house and can never leave.  Their intent is not to raise friendly, healthy kids who function well in life.  But to make dependents.  And from there, everyone knows how the story ends.  Thinking the kids are fat enough, the kind woman tries to put Hansel into an oven to cook him.  Gretal sticks up for her brother and pushes the woman into the oven instead.  And they kill the woman and escape with their lives.  Eventually, the father finds the kids, and they live happily ever after.  But not before the father gets rid of his problem, the other woman who has been plotting the demise of his children.  And once he does that, everyone lives happily ever after, but not before death and divorce. 

And that is what DOGE is uncovering with our government, and there isn’t any way not to avoid pushing her into the oven and killing this crippling Oedipal mother.  Our government has been trying to make us into dependents not to help us, but to cripple us.  And it certainly wasn’t for our own good.  To understand these things, we have to be willing to admit that everyone isn’t looking out for our best interests, and that the best thing to do would be to have healthy skepticism as Hansel and Gretel did, about the adults in their lives and to take precautions regarding their motives.  In the world of fairy tales, we have told stories designed to help children recognize deceit in their adult landscape, to teach them how to manage such a crisis when they see it.  But the government, wanting to exploit the world for its designs, wishes to conceal why it intends to make dependents from all its subservients.  Not to help people, but to harm them.  To eat them.  And as we uncover all the waste, fraud, and abuse that DOGE finds, we learn that we should have never trusted any of these people.  And that the over-coddling mother complex of government was not for any reason but to eat us and live off our carcasses.  This is how we should view taxation and the role of government in general.  Just because we have women in our lives as mothers, or wives, and they appear kindly, we can’t trust them.  They very well could be trying to eat us.  And often, at best, they are trying to lure us out into the woods to leave us for dead so they can replace us with a new man, a sturdy character who works all day chopping wood, and the women do not want to share the food earned with the children. So she plots to kill them so she can have the man all to herself.  Given what DOGE is uncovering, we would do well to return to fairy tales for guidance.  Because obviously, a lot of people need them.

If Trump or Any Politician Supports Pot Legalization: Smoke shops produce stringy haired losers and depreciated value

To answer a question that should be obvious at this point, but it needs an updated clarification, I am more than 100% against pot, or any marijuana support, and I will not endorse or support in any way a politician who is in support of marijuana legalization.  This came up in a recent discussion about political endorsements, and I had to explain to several people that just because pot was legal in Ohio, I did not recognize it as such and that I am more against pot sales and use than I ever was.  For me, it’s a Jesus in the temple against the money changers kind of thing.  I do not see marijuana as anything good for anybody, and it’s certainly not a free market right.  And to go to that next step, which evolved out of the question, would I feel the same about President Trump if he proved to be supportive of a federal policy on marijuana legalization?  The answer is that if Trump became pro-pot, that would be the day I work against him.  Everyone knows how supportive of Trump I have been over these last eight years, but the line in the sand would be pot legalization from his administration.  On that day, I would never be supportive of Trump again and would actively work against him.  That’s how serious I am about the matter, and life would go on if that turns out to be the case.  I know there are lots of discussions, especially from the Roger Stone crowd, to bend Trump’s ear to federal legalization.  If he did that, in my opinion, he would become the enemy, and I would actively look for his replacement.  That might be good news for people looking to drive a wedge between Trump and his base.  But because of all the talk in the background, I have to say it before it’s too late.

I don’t think Trump would do something so stupid.  He’s a states’ rights guy, and federal legalization would go against that position.  If states are that stupid to legalize pot, that’s their problem.  Now, Ohio just legalized pot, but not without some progressive gymnastics on constitutional technicalities that were very disingenuous.  There was a significant amount of outside money and influence that needed to be removed from the system, and I will certainly apply my efforts in that direction.  Just because radical leftist losers slid the issue under the door in Ohio, it does not mean I accept it.  And yes, there are a lot of Republicans who think that being pro-pot is being pro-business.  They tell me that the former Speaker of the House, John Boehner, supports the legalization of pot as a lobbyist.   My response is that I don’t like John Boehner; he cries too much and has smoked like a train chugging up a long hill for way too long.  Even though we share mutual friends, that does not mean I like what everyone does, nor do I endorse it.  I am not a libertarian.  I do not believe in the ‘live and let live’ philosophy, where you do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t impact me.  I believe in free markets, but I also think that we need rules in society that can make for a civilized nation, such as people shouldn’t have sex with kids under 18.  People shouldn’t drink until they are 21.  If I had it my way, people would never drink.  Kids shouldn’t drive a car until they are 16.  And people shouldn’t do drugs.  Any drugs.  I’m even against marijuana for medical use.  I hate the stuff and see it as the gateway drug to a weak society poised to collapse on itself.  Nothing good comes from pot legalization. 

As far as it being a pro-business stance, since pot was legalized in Ohio, we have all these embarrassing smoke shops everywhere.  They always have beat-up cars and stringy-haired losers coming and going from them.  Sure, plaza owners love them because they don’t want to see part of their buildings empty of a paying tenant. However, the quality of those tenants is detrimental to a community.  Smoke shops and dispensaries are no different than porn shops like the Hustler Store in Monroe are.  Nobody of any quality wants those reminders of human garbage around their homes.  They are bad businesses that lower the quality of our society; they certainly don’t enhance it.  To the short-sighted, smoke shops and pot sales might represent an expanding economy, but at the cost of other profitable aspects of society.  You might sell more pot to a bunch of losers, but those losers aren’t going to be inventing the next great thing, so in the long run, you cost business opportunities by having a pro-pot society of lazy slugs who adopt political socialism to feed their entitled personalities.  The billions of dollars of revenue that keep being passed around regarding the legalization of pot come at a cost of much more than that, primarily in the hard-to-define opportunity cost of a society that spends its recreational activity pursuing intoxication.  The same type of people pushing pot legalization are also advocates of a 40-hour work week, so they can stop work as soon as possible and hit the bottle or smoke more pot sooner, and the way I think about things, if they worked more and worked harder, they’d be intoxicated less.  And that is probably good for them, rather than giving them more leisure time that they will waste anyway. 

Would I throw away all that time I spent investing in Trump over just one issue of pot legalization?  Yes.  That’s how strongly I feel about it.  Pot is a nonstarter for me; there is nothing good to come out of it but short-sighted gains built on the backs of stupidity.  Strategically speaking, this is, of course, what the enemies want: to put Trump in a corner, make these tariffs a chopping block where he seeks an approval rating spike by pandering to the pot heads.  And if they can separate Trump from people like me, they would love it.  But it’s not too late, and I don’t think Trump will do it.  But there are politicians I like quite a lot who have embraced the legalization of pot in Ohio, and support a nationwide deregulation of it.  They compare it to the prohibition period against liquor and want to think that the two are the same, that if you have a society of alcohol abuse, then pot consumption is the next logical step.  But I say you have to draw a line somewhere, and for me, that is between alcohol and pot.  Ultimately, we shouldn’t have a society that embraces drug abuse no matter when or where.  That this is an issue at all says a great deal about our culture, which needs significant reform.  And there are a lot of people in the world that I have alienated just over the consumption of pot.  And I’ve always been this way, and I’ve no intention of ever changing my position on it.  I dislike the substance and the people who use it.  And in most cases, once I find out about it, I never speak to those people again.  So needless to say, when it comes to endorsements, if a politician, even if it’s Trump, supports the legalization of pot in any way, our relationship will literally go up in smoke.

Working at the Supreme Court: District Courts do not have the authority to tamper with Trump’s Article II authority

I was having a nice lunch in the cafeteria of the Supreme Court recently, and I had a lot of books spread out across the table when some of the workers there took an interest in me, as I had been there for a while.  They were cleaning up around my table and were interested in what I was doing.  The U.S. Supreme Court is a brilliant institution, and an isolated one, considering its location in the heart of one of the world’s most important cities.  However, the Supreme Court is designed to give the people within that building a sense of intellectual remoteness intentionally.  And I enjoyed it. However, what I was doing was something that, even then, was unique in the employee’s observation.  I was working on several tables and had multiple books open, reading a wide range of material simultaneously.  So, they struck up a conversation, curious about my work there.  I hesitated, because talking to people usually takes time, and I often don’t have much time for small talk and gossip.  However, I had been wondering about something, so this was a good opportunity to ask about it.  So, I asked them how often the Supreme Court Justices came down to the cafeteria to eat, since their offices were right around the corner and down the hall.  The employees giggled and replied that they hardly ever saw the Supreme Court members, that the most common thing was to send their aides down to get lunch so they could eat it back at their desks.  And I get that if you are very busy, like I was, and didn’t want to get too wrapped up in useless conversation.  However, for the Supreme Court to remain relevant and in touch, it owes it to itself to stay somewhat informed about the rest of the world.  And given some of the obvious strategies of lawfare that we have seen and continue to see regarding these radical left-wing district judges, who make decisions that are often questionable, I couldn’t help but conclude that the Supreme Court Justices should be getting their lunch at the cafeteria.

I get it, but you must understand that the domestic enemies of this nation have been using our system against us, and that Trump is a unique moment in history to correct the situation, which should have never been allowed to get so far out of control.  The checks and balances of the three branches of government are part of the process of putting the brakes on an overactive Executive Branch or a legislature that allows power to go to its head. We count on the courts to put the brakes on such wild temperaments.  We don’t want a king in the Executive Branch, typically.  However, we also don’t like the government to be caught in needless red tape either.  I think enough of the Supreme Court gets the philosophy of the problem, and it was good for me to be at the Supreme Court for such an extended period to think about these problems in the scope for which they are presented. Neil Gorsuch certainly understands the situation, as does Clarence Thomas.  But I think Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts are stuck on the brakes function of the Supreme Court when the real solution is speed and support.  I can see how easy it would be to get lost on that idea once you put on the black robes and isolate yourself from the outside world a bit.  And that’s where I think Roberts and Barrett are on the issue of judicial activism from the District Court system, and they need to give themselves some context to the heart of the problem.

A lot of people didn’t realize that Marxism was so much in their lives, and we have not talked about the role that communism has played in our American politics, really, since the McCarthy hearings.  We wanted to pat ourselves on the back and say that Reagan defeated communism and call it a day.  However, the truth is that the works of Karl Marx have infiltrated nearly all our institutions to undermine and ultimately overthrow them. In this specific situation with the courts, we saw plenty of evidence to determine that the Bar Association itself is a functionary of Marxism in our culture that has been highly corrosive. Now that we acknowledge and accept this, we need to take prompt action to resolve the matter.  District judges do not have the authority to intrude on a President’s Executive Powers under Article II.  We elected Trump to make decisive decisions and to use his Executive authority to save America from the many parasites who have been acting as clear domestic enemies both in law and finance.  And part of their strategy is to run out the clock on temperament by stalling executive authority in the courts, where Justices like John Roberts get bogged down in the procedural aspects of court processing rather than focusing on the necessity for expediency.  And that comes with the place itself, the Supreme Court.  The building makes it a point to say to the world, ‘ Take a pause and consider things deeply. ‘  Which I love.  However, the strategy implemented against us is to conceal malice behind such a lofty concept, employing a Cloward and Piven strategy of overwhelming and collapsing. 

It would be all too easy for a Supreme Court Justice to go from their house to their office to the Supreme Court without talking to too many people.  They have private parking, and underground tunnels so they don’t have to go outside to move around and be molested by a sometimes-angry public, and they don’t even have to leave the building to get food.  They have pretty good food at the Supreme Court cafeteria.  Once they get into their offices, it would be very easy to send their aids down to get them lunch, and never to leave, getting lost in their books and thinking about the foundations of the rule of law and to be more concerned with judicial precedent, rather than the content of the decisions, such as district judge James Boasberg has been doing testing the waters to see if he can put checks on the power of an elected president.  From their perspective, it’s worth a shot, for radical leftists hell bent on Marxist ideology, which that judge is, it’s all they can do, so they are going to try.  Such an idea forces the Justices to remind themselves that the court’s purpose is not to engage in participation and compromise with other members.  It’s to be correct, and to stand by Constitutional law.  And you don’t compromise with the wrong political philosophy just so you don’t hurt the feelings of your friends on the court, who you bond with and want to be empathetic to, like Ketanji Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, or Elena Kagan.  The goal of the court is not to accommodate all viewpoints; it’s to be correct in its judgments, which was my answer to the cafeteria workers when they asked about my books.  You want to know the correct answer and to arrive at it in the arena of debate, for which the consideration exposes itself, which was why I was there.  The correct answer is that Trump has Article II rights, which lower courts do not have the authority to overrule.  Voters are the checks on power.  If people don’t like Executive overreach, they can vote those presidents out of office at the next election.  However, because the Supreme Court did not apply the same standard of judicial restraint to Obama, Clinton, and Biden, we now have a mess that needs to be rectified.  And now is not the time to get philosophical about checks on power. Instead, now would be a good time to visit the cafeteria and let the Justices get their own food for a change, ensuring they don’t lose touch with reality and engage with the people the Constitution protects.  And I think things will become a lot clearer for them.

Benefits of AI: Ways to get more productivity out of society and more than 70 hour work weeks

I think this would be a good opportunity to provide an update on AI technology and discuss its future.  I believe that when people discuss it, they worry that AI will become just as neurotic as human beings and start to become pretentious and controlling, that it will develop feelings and become manipulative, ultimately posing a danger.  However, I see quite the opposite happening: AI is useful because it’s not pretentious or emotional, and is eager to do work and enjoy it.  The other thing is how we measure work.  One of my biggest arguments with people is regarding work, and the ability to do it.  I tend to like work a lot.  And I certainly subscribe to the sentiment that you can’t make much of a difference in the world in a week unless you put in at least 70 hours of work to move the needle a little bit.  Why 70 hours?  Well, that seems to be a magic number encoded in human DNA, given our proximity to Earth and its mathematical applications of existence.  You have 24 hours in a day and 7 days a week to see what you can do with them.  And because of a lot of really dumb practices, especially established with labor unions and Marxism that is always working in the background of our lives in basic philosophy, we have emerged to this stupid idea that an 8-hour work day is something we can make a living with, and still be helpful in the world.  I think it needs to be almost double that per week for the average human and most of our ideas about work and leisure time, balancing out family time versus personal pleasure and divide them among elements of productivity, such as changing the oil in your car or going grocery shopping, and general stress management are some of our top considerations. 

For instance, I have been married to the same woman for nearly 40 years, so maintaining a relationship requires work.  If you don’t put any work into maintaining relationships, they don’t just magically work.  But then, when I say people should be working more than 70 hours per week, how can that be healthy?  One thing my wife and I enjoy doing together is going hot tubbing.  I would say it’s essential to us and our quality time together.  However, as I try to accomplish more in a 24-hour day than is possible, I argue with her that I need my hot tub time to be more productive.  These days, I use Apple AirPods to catch up on news, make phone calls, and lately, I have been having conversations with AI, specifically Elon Musk’s GROK program, which runs on his “X” platform. I think it is remarkably intelligent.  It has become for me more like a research assistant that can keep up with me and all my many topics of interest.   As I reflected on it, between my Apple AirPods and the “X” platform’s AI for discussion, I have been able to make myself much more productive so far in 2025.  As I thought about it, from AI reading legal documents and producing a general sentiment about their contents to travel destination calculations, I have found that AI has dramatically increased my productivity, and that utilizing it across human existence will undoubtedly lead to economic growth.  If people aren’t willing to do the extra work that it takes to make a productive society, we have invented AI to cover the gap, because it never sleeps, complains, or shudders away from complex tasks, and I like that.  I like that a lot.

What AI thinks of my life as it did a profile on me

Everyone asks me if AI generates the articles I write, because I do so much of it.  And the answer is no, and I never will.  I view writing as an expression of human enterprise, and it needs to be my stamp of approval.  However, I do utilize AI to edit a substantial amount of written material each day, ranging from emails to personal projects and scanning through trade periodicals to identify subjects of unique interest. But I do film all my videos and write so much personal content because it needs that human touch that I don’t see AI replacing, ever.  However, I am a very political creature, and I apply that interest to the management of people and resources to the best of my ability, which is why human beings frustrate me so much regarding work ethic. People have been taught not to work, and I don’t like it.  However, with AI, it doesn’t mind working at all, and I keep it busy all hours of the day doing things for me that I need done, because I never turn it off.  So it’s been a good employee to me on several fronts.  For instance, I was talking to GROK just the other day while my wife and I were in the hot tub, soaking and giving our bodies some much-needed human maintenance, and the discussion was about Eve and the role snakes played in the downfall of civilization.  The conversation evolved into the effects of ayahuasca and the spirit world on our living existence.  So, I asked another AI program that I was interacting with to turn our conversation into a short video, and the result is shown here. A young woman who needs perpetual security finds happiness, even ecstasy, in yielding to the nature and order of serpents.  The theme of this conversation centered on how Eve was always going to be tempted by a snake in her life because she sought security, and adherence to nature was seen as a means to achieve that security, given her weaker position in the marriage union, physically.  I thought AI saw the discussion remarkably well. 

It’s not there yet, but now you can see why actors and producers are concerned about AI potentially taking their jobs.  Who needs union rules on a set to drag a film production out for weeks, building props and taking up physical space on a sound stage, when you can generate a complete story with AI and make everything you want to shoot in a computer environment, which is much cheaper and far more effective?  And I think that is the case for AI across our entire economy, especially a Trump economy, which is just starting to show signs of increased productivity.  And with Elon Musk now part of the political process, utilizing AI to scan so much with DOGE, essentially auditing the government, which is the first time such a thing has been attempted in history, we are seeing massive improvements to our human potential that would not be possible without AI.  So I’m a fan.  I would never let it replace me, I don’t think it will ever be that smart or sound, even as it evolves with improvements.  What makes humans human is far more complicated than just intelligence.  But when it comes to thinking and productivity, I love that AI never turns off and enjoys working so much.  And for me, it has solved many time management problems that other people have been unwilling to address.  AI does it and doesn’t complain, and I only see that improving over time.  I can envision a near future where AI is running entire manufacturing facilities, and production will never stop because humans need breaks and time to make personal calls on their cell phones.  AI doesn’t need a break, and it is willing to work at infinite rates of production, which is a dream come true for me.  But the danger of something comes down to personal investment.  If, like Eve, the desire is to yield to the forces of nature, then corruption is blatant.  However, if nature serves humanity, then entirely different results emerge.  And that is where I see AI headed, with numerous benefits to follow.

More Kristi Noem Please: The best torture of drug cartel members is to have to look at the Secretary of Homeland Security in those tight pants

I was surprised by Megan Kelly’s obvious girl jealousy of Kristi Noem when the Secretary of Homeland Security went to the El Salvador Terrorism Confinement Center maximum security facility and stood before the recent prisoners there, just dropped off by Noem and the Trump administration for their terrorist connection to the government of Venezuela in the form of drug cartels.  I thought it was great; one of the reasons I wanted Kristi Noem to be Trump’s VP was that she has a great sense of style.  I will never forget how proud I was of her for riding her horse onstage at the town square in Deadwood, South Dakota, during the Sturgis motorcycle rally, carrying an American flag and waving it proudly in the air.  Kristi Noem gets it, and I am glad that President Trump put her in a position to utilize her talents for the security of America.  After all the controversies over those prisoners and whether or not a district judge had the power to intrude on President Trump’s Article II powers, Kristi Noem had the guts to visit the prison personally dressed in skin tight jeans, a very tight shirt to highlight her female attributes, while wearing a $50K Rolex and forced all those shirtless, tattooed drug gang members to look at her from behind knowing they weren’t going to have any female company for a long time, and listen to her spike the football right in front of their faces.  As I like to say, that is how you make spaghetti in the kitchen.  That’s the only kind of language that these violent drug cartel members understand, and it’s about time that we start playing the game better than them.  Kristi Noem was wearing lip gloss and had her hair nicely styled, further demonstrating her excessive femininity. As a result, the world came unglued, including Megan Kelly, the former Fox host and current podcast commentator. 

Let me go on to say that with all the talk about Noem’s costly Rolex watch, there is much more to that than anybody wants to admit.  The jealousy among various members of the media society, raised on Marxism, was overtly ostentatious.  Kristi Noem is a successful person who has survived numerous hardships, and she is now in her grandmother years, looking like a pretty hot tamale.  She hasn’t let herself go like many women of her age, and to all those who have, and look like rotting potatoes left two weeks too long in the cellar, Kristi Noem has exposed the heart of the problem.  That when we talk about girl power and all this equality nonsense, the real motivation isn’t for excellence, but it’s to bring down all the pretty women in the world to the level of most everyone else who don’t look so good.  It’s a communist assumption that expresses jealousy for those who have and the mob’s ability to take it and to destroy it, or redistribute it under the flag of equality.  Where everyone is equally ugly.  Megan Kelly’s reaction was the jealous socialite who is concerned that a woman like Noem might steal her man with expressions of feminine charms, so she thought she needed to pile on to all the left leaning media attacks, because as the head of Homeland Security Kristi Noem looked like too much of a woman and not enough of an authority figure.  Sure, Noem could have worn a baggy jacket to cover her body, but she wanted to show off a bit, just as she does at rodeos and public appearances like motorcycle rallies.  She knows what America likes, and they like women with very tight jeans, tight shirts, long hair, and lip gloss.  And to rub a little salt in the wound, Kristi wore her charming Rolex watch.

Who are we trying to impress with a less-than-excellent appearance anyway?  Playing down to the crowd and trying to look more “professional,” which in this case is the same as saying, “more average” lets other people know that you are just like them, butt ugly, lazy, and broke.  But that’s not the message here.  Kristi Noem is a good-looking woman who knows she’s attractive, and she took to the streets to lead raids against dangerous drug cartels, helping to make America safe again.  Most of the prisoners she was standing in front of are dangerous people.  It sounds like there were a few mistakes mixed into that prisoner population, but so what?  What matters is that we commit Homeland Security to get rid of drug cartels who are operating as a hostile foreign insurgent within our borders and openly trying to poison Americans for conquest.  Sheriff Jones once tried to get me to do an article to show just how bad the border violence is, where these drug cartel members are in open war with border property owners and openly cut off the heads of people who stand up to them and stick them on fence posts.  And if they see a woman they like, they take her and rape her and dare anybody in law enforcement to do something about it.  And it happens every day along the border.  That’s the kind of stuff that Megan Kelly should be worried about.  Not how good Kristi Noem looks as a very hot grandmother.  When I see Kristi Noem, I think of American pride.  When I see Megan Kelly, especially after her reaction to Noem, I see a woman who appears to be jealous and insecure about her ability to keep the men in her life interested in her, which is at the heart of the criticism.

I told the Sheriff that I couldn’t use the violent pictures he showed me, because they were just too horrible.  As a media contributor, that is my editorial judgment because it crosses the line.  I don’t mind writing about it, but the visuals are horrible and more people should see them.  There are ways to do so, but the media’s responsibility is to let people know that the border violence that happens with these drug cartels is open warfare.  And it’s not just on our borders anymore, it’s in the middle of America, in just about every city in North America.  They are a purposeful invasion of our country, and we should rub it in their faces when we catch them, deport them, and put them into maximum security prisons for containment and punishment.  And yes, for a bunch of dudes stuck in a rigorous prison system, having to bunch together with a bunch of shirtless dudes and stare at the back of Kristi Noem’s tight jeans is torture in a good way.  And I’m glad Kristi Noem had the guts to do it, and the showmanship.  The Secretary of Homeland Security has written best-selling books and achieved great success in life.  What else is she going to spend her money on?  A Rolex is a symbol of success, and she should wear it proudly and audaciously.  Especially if it makes lazy people jealous and insecure people reveal who they are. Which is what Megan Kelly revealed about herself.  Women, no matter who they are, tend to be very jealous of women they think are prettier than they are, and they adopt levels of Marxism in their lives to make things “fair” for them.  So they can go to the grocery store without makeup and dress in sweatpants and a dirty old T-shirt without feeling bad about themselves, until Kristi Noem walks by in a cowboy hat, tight jeans, long cowboy boots, and a perfumed body, complete with gleaming lip gloss.  And when their men look and admire how attractive Kristi Noem is, women like that punish their men for all the things they didn’t do, and want the world to be just a little bit lazier so they don’t have to feel bad about themselves.  Nope, that’s not how we make America great again.  More people like Kristi Noem do, however, and I am very proud of her for what she has done and plans to do in the immediate future.  More Kristi Noem, please!

Good on the Ohio Senate: Getting DEI out of colleges

Good on Jerry Cirino in the Ohio Senate for introducing the SB1 Bill, which Governor DeWine just signed into law.  And good work to the GOP in both Houses at the Ohio Statehouse.  SB1 is the Enact Advanced Higher Education Act, which targets reform of higher education by banning diversity, equity, and inclusion programs (DEI), prohibiting faculty strikes, and implementing various other reforms at public colleges and universities.  DEI programs have been a disaster for our culture because they do not inspire greatness, but conformity to a standard that does not produce success in society.  This Bill is the first of many to come, which is necessary in public education in general because it has become so severe and out of control that there is no way to work with it any longer.  Equity and inclusion are not communist strategies, as clearly outlined in Marx’s written works, and do not inspire greatness in society.  It is a communist value system that does not belong in a competitive, capitalist culture.  What is disguised as fairness is a radical left-wing weapon designed to undermine our society from the inside out, and rot the minds of our children before they are ever able to fend for themselves as adults.  When this bill was first introduced, it naturally caused a lot of comment and protest. Therefore, it was good that the Senate stuck together and rallied behind Jerry Cirinio.  We need a lot more of these kind of bold bills in the Ohio Statehouse from both sides.  For too long, we let a small minority of communist oriented voices speak and cry for things because they were the only ones who showed up to the hearings, and politicians assumed that meant that they were in the majority.  And that the media would take up the cause and carry communist ideas that they would support by default.  But not this time.

To achieve the kind of competition that Vivek Ramaswamy aims to bring to Ohio through a merit-based pay system, we need significantly more of the 2025 version of SB1.  Most teachers, when you talk to them one on one, without the politics of a teacher’s union lingering in the background, agree with merit-based, competitive pay models.  They probably even vote for Republicans.  And increasingly they support Trump in the White House even if they don’t admit to it in public.  DEI programs have been horrible in the private sector, and they have slowed down the world horribly.  Everywhere we go these days, from drive-thru windows at McDonald’s to advanced manufacturing companies, we have a massive global society that can’t do much of anything right, especially hit a production target.  The quality of products in every industrial sector is declining, mainly because almost every HR department in the country has made DEI a priority, where compassion has become the standard, rather than practicality.  You can feel sorry for someone coming from a rough background, but do you want them making your hamburger at a drive-thru?  A society of broken people has given us production standards not focused on doing a good job, but on hiring people because of their skin color, sexual orientation, and even age status, rather than pushing employees to improve so they can compete for the best job and inspire great production.  Hard work has gone out of fashion mainly because DEI programs disguised as fairness have killed it, and Karl Marx is laughing in his grave at the poison he infected the world with, and many terrible people made into policy because they wanted to rule the means of production from behind a veil of control and influence.  DEI programs have been taught in schools for decades, and they have been horrible for the subsequent generations trying to make it in the adult world, and that compliance standard has been way off the mark. 

At a Lakota School Board meeting recently where they were complaining about just 9 million dollars in lost revenue due to charter schools providing options for kids to attend and to take their money with them, one of the new guys, Doug Horton said to the members of the meeting that he supports Ed Choice programs, but that he essentially didn’t, talking out of both sides of his mouth, because he didn’t think people were leaving the school due to a political exodus.  Parents concerned about Lakota’s support of DEI programs and Critical Race Theory did not believe these factors were the reason students were being pulled from the school to attend other educational options.  And as he said it, he said it with a straight face as if everyone was supposed to believe it.  That is precisely the kind of person that DEI has produced in the world, and why parents are growing increasingly dissatisfied with the public education environment.  I have heard for a long time at Lakota that school board members would deny that Critical Race Theory, which is a spawn of DEI programs, was even happening.  They would tell complaining parents that there was no evidence of Critical Race Theory.  You know why they said that?  Because they refused to look at it, and their public policy, established by many thousands of lawyers across the nation, has a standard policy when it comes to all DEI programs, which is to deny, deny, and deny, until you die.  And even then, continue the practice.  Lie to the parents.  Lie to the people who pay the tuition at these now worthless colleges, and make suckers out of them in public.  And when they talk about these things in public testimony, turn off their mic so there is no record of the exchange. 

School board people like Horton at Lakota know why parents are leaving the district, but what they say in public indicates an intent to mislead.  Just as they say that their purpose is to implement political DEI projects into the schools no matter what parents think about it, because that is their key to federal money, to build a management structure of DEI programs no matter what people really want, because as education institutions, they are all about money.  They don’t try to gain independence from federal mandates and state laws that are attached to funding because their teacher unions are primarily concerned with maintaining the lowest standard they can get away with to maximize their financial gain.  And DEI for them has been a massive cover story of corruption and deceit disguised as helpful fairness. It has been everything but fair, and it has made our students and our productive society much worse by bringing to our competitive workplaces communist ideas that have worked nowhere in the world, in any place.  They don’t work in China either, by the way.  The people there have a strong work ethic due to their culture, and they can afford to throw bodies at problems.  But communism as a DEI model doesn’t work anywhere, and any exchange program that partners with China should have never occurred in an education program.  China is a communist country, and there is nothing we need to learn from them.  The members of the Ohio Senate were wise not to take the bait and learn a valuable lesson from the Trump administration.  Stop listening to these communist fools, such as the dead weight protesting the signing of SBI in Ohio.  We don’t want losers like that setting the standards in Ohio, or anywhere.  Listening to them, as we have in the past, has not improved our world. Instead, they made it all, much, much, worse.
