Judge Merchan Must Be Punished: We can’t have lawfare in our system of justice

When Judge Juan Merchan decided to sentence President Trump over the ridiculous business-related charges in New York, he was making some admissions that were uncomfortable for mass society to make.  That was only reiterated in the documents released in the final days of Jack Smith, the outgoing prosecutor for the DOJ who personally tried to lure Trump into a jury in a profoundly blue area and snag a conviction for a crime that they clearly understood could only be interpreted regionally, rather than culturally.  Marxism had become so prevalent in neighborhoods like D.C. and New York City that it was impossible to get an impartial jury of our peers in modern society, and at the heart of that was a prosecution scam that understood that they could use lawfare to destroy political rivals.  And they were willing to use it.  In both cases, the one with Jack Smith and Judge Merchan, the election of 2024 took away from them that power because people put President Trump back in office anyway.  And in so many ways, the human race grew up a bit and outpaced the regional confines of the small-minded and power-hungry.  And when Judge Merchan spoke to Trump, it was almost a plea to respect the system for which they had abused so much power so needlessly and to ask for mercy.  This resulted in a no sentencing outcome which was highly unusual.  A plea to respect the law and judgments of a jury of Trump’s peers when, in truth, the jury pool had been contaminated with Marxist movements and social tampering in a way that made Trump have nothing in common with his peers because it had become a system meant to fight against capitalism, and this was a business case against one of the world’s wealthiest people. Merchan and Jack Smith intended to pit against Trump the jealous, down-and-out, and scandal-driven to take revenge on all those who were doing better than the jury at life. They had made the legal system a retribution for the obvious laziness of that jury of peers. 

With some insider knowledge, I understand how these prosecutions can go bad.  I live in a very nice community with great police and prosecutors.  Even better, a jury of my peers in Butler County, Ohio, has more in common than in deep blue voting blocks like New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco.  When we set up our legal system, human beings were supposed to at least have enough in common to serve as a jury of their peers.  That common attribute might be a relationship with the Bible.  Or a love of a sporting event.  Family ties.  Something.  But what has often happened, and the various legal circles are very aware of this, is that people have less in common now than they ever have, and it has almost nothing to do with money.  There have been power groups who have exploited the weak and lazy toward gifts that only a government with the ability to confiscate wealth could distribute to them for unearned benefit.  And for those who might otherwise choose to be thieves in the world and rob the rich so that they don’t have to work themselves, a new kind of victimization politics has emerged.  Once the power structure had their advocates looking for easy money and to be the ground troops for their movement, they could taint these juries with left-leaning losers more concerned with taking the whole system down rather than seeking justice.  And that was what Judge Merchan and Jack Smith were caught doing, and it blew up in their faces.

In 2024, I was the foreman for a grand jury in my community, and it was a very eye-opening experience.  I got to know some of our local prosecutors very well and learned that they were not like Jack Smith or Judge Merchan as these Trump cases were in the news every day, and it wasn’t so clear what Trump’s future would be as a result.  When I served on the grand jury, the odds that Trump would win the election seemed very remote, almost like a fantasy that had no hope of ever coming true.  But I saw firsthand where opportunities to corrupt the jury and manipulate the court system could quickly have happened.  I was able to tour our local jail system and meet some inmates, and I thought about Trump a lot during all this time.  This system of justice, if it had people any less value-driven, could quickly put innocent people in jail and destroy their lives with lawfare.  Always in the background do we need to make sure we have a healthy society that can function from things they have in common, rather than specify the things they are different from each other and that power politics would use those differences to gain political power for themselves by using innocent people as the means and method.  We must always use common ground to base our society, which is a challenge at the heart of a thriving civilization.  That is not what Judge Merchan or Jack Smith was up to in prosecuting Trump, and they never thought that people would unite behind an effort to elect Trump back to the high office because they felt they had control of the system at the most fundamental level, and that they were the rulers of society.

Knowing all that, there is no choice but to turn the tables on Judge Juan Merchan and all the prosecution attempts against Trump from 2023 through 2024.  They tried to destroy our political order through lawfare, something they always knew was in their back pocket of power and gave them the smug impression that they were ultimately in charge.  And they knowingly abused their power.  I have always wondered about this, but until my personal experience on a grand jury, I wasn’t sure if the system could be so easily abused.  And the answer is that it can be.  And obviously, it is often.  What Judge Merchan did was what we can’t have legal people doing in a healthy society.  Merchan wasn’t standing for law and order.  He was using disorder to manipulate the law so that political power could use victimization politics to establish an order of overthrow against a system he didn’t like.  By exploiting the stupid, the broke, the lawless, putting them on a jury, and calling them peers of the healthy, wealthy, and wise, a knowing war of personalities was fused with purposeful intent to overthrow our entire system of government.  And we can’t forgive that.  Because they got caught, Trump’s DOJ will have no choice but to prosecute these prosecutors for their abuse of the law and the willing exploitation of people used like chess pieces to overthrow our entire established order and to call it justice mockingly.  We came very close to never having a fair election in America again, but only because we did was this escapade exploited for the crime that it was.  And we can’t forget what happened; we must send a strong message to the future that such behavior is inappropriate.  Judge Merchan and many others must be punished as much as possible so that others will never think of attempting such a thing again for fear of what might happen to them.

Of Course “Imagine” was Played at Carter’s Funneral: They were always about using communism to destroy the American way of life

I thought it was quite appropriate that Jimmy Carter, at his funeral after living 100 years of life, wanted to have the ridiculously dumb song by John Lennon, “Imagine,” sung.  The song summed up his life, really, and is the reason that he was the worst president until, of course, Joe Biden came along.  All these old hippies are showing a developed pattern.  They grew up liking the Beatles and John Lennon and have been trying to build a world they learned about in that song.  Ironically, shortly after the Carter funeral, that same kind of radicalism is coming out in the politics of California.  Remember Gavin Newsom talking about preserving the rivers to save some fish, but also to pay off debts to the Native American indigenous people, promises that we owed them?  Yes, there are plenty of people who run around in the political circles of Jimmy Carter, Joe Biden, and Gavin Newsom who are very happy to see the massive wildfires burning out entire communities of Hollywood because, just like the end of the latest Yellowstone television show, the goal is to get rid of white people and return the land to the red people who they think lived in America first.  They get a lot of these dumb ideas from the communists of the British invasion and their favorite musical artists like the Beatles.  As teenagers smoking dope and having reckless sex, they were very open to the exploits of those radical leftists, and it shaped their lives into the disasters they grew up to become as adults.  Just because people think something doesn’t make it right, and I would say all people exposed to this period of history reflected in music like John Lennon’s had their minds destroyed in ways that have cascaded the destruction to millions of other people. 

I know many people who love the song “Imagine,” and they are, by their nature, good people.  However, they should not be involved in influencing people’s lives.  Songs like “Imagine” are not harmless.  I would consider it more damaging than most rap music because it sells itself as helpful, peace-loving, and even Christian.  Except that it is an anti-god diatribe by a diabolical atheist in John Lennon.  Every time I hear that song, I look for a bunch of dope smokers in tie-dye t-shirts to break out a pottery wheel and start slinging mud on it to make a vase.  To return to the primitive just as they did at Woodstock and to have sex with strangers because nobody should own anybody and everything should be free.  Free love, free money, no borders, country, or heaven.  No values.  Just dirty old hippie love, that’s what John Lennon was singing about, and yes, it has a catchy tune.  That’s how they sucker people into its demonic worship, always with catchy melodies that people sing along to without thinking about the real meaning of the song.  “Imagine” is a terrible song, something that could easily be said to have been purposely created to undermine our entire society and launch us all into globalism.  Without question, this is the same kind of popular song that dirty old men trying to sleep with prostitutes at Davos economic forums play when they are trying to appear hip to 21-year-old girls who have no idea who John Lennon is.  But they like the wine and the money, so they listen like brain-dead fools to the anthem of globalism.

“Imagine” is a communist ballad, a deliberate attempt to convince vast populations to throw away capitalism and embrace communism fully.  And it should have always been considered a national security problem.  There’s nothing good about it; John Lennon’s wife, Yoko Ono, who helped him with that song, was a dedicated communist.  When she talks about peace, she means to lower the resistance to individual property rights and to surrender all integrity to the shared resources of the lazy and diabolical.  To watch Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood sing the old John Lennon song in a church, of all places, was a purposeful insult to the American way of life.  But that’s how Jimmy Carter lived his life.  Remember how he tried to work with communist forces against Ronald Reagan in the background?  Jimmy Carter might have been a nice guy and an innocent peanut farmer, but like Yoko Ono, they kill you with kindness.  Putting a couple of country music stars out to sing a song to sell communism in a Catholic cathedral doesn’t make it any less of an attack.  It was also interesting that Trump was at the funeral, representing a noticeable effort to make America Great Again.  But great from what?  Well, the teachings of people like John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who purposefully tried to bring communism to America through their art.  And before Trump had a chance to get back into office to do that very thing, the Carter funeral was a chance to spit in the face of the MAGA movement with their war cry of progressive sentiment and blatant communist intentions.  “Imagine” is a song meant to spit in all our faces; how dare we want to have marriages and countries and do good in life so we can go to Heaven.  To attack every premise of values supporting individual rights over collective salvation sold to them through a catchy tune. 

I’m not a fan of Garth Brooks.  He cheated on his wife a lot and was a crybaby of country music.  Having him perform the song shows even more the kind of people that Jimmy Carter valued and thought represented America.  Jimmy Carter was a loser.  And he surrounded himself with other losers with a political philosophy that took all those misfits and hid them from social judgment through the communist movement.  And “Imagine” was their war song of peace.  Peace was their weapon to undo the kinds of values that people wanted to fight for.  By taking away the value people had for things, people would not want to fight each other over anything and would instead rot away in a hippie haze, smoke dope, advocate in fact for the legalization of marijuana, and advocate for a borderless world just as the Indians had before Christopher Columbus came along and messed it all up for everyone.  That is why Jimmy Carter was a terrible president and why it was entirely appropriate that he wanted “Imagine” played at his funeral by a bunch of losers and despots.  I agree with Steve Bannon’s take on John Lennon; he was a degenerate, and having that song played in a Christian setting was a spit in all our faces.  But it also tells everyone clearly what these fools are all about and why they are so detrimental to the human race.  After 100 years of life, that was the summary of Jimmy Carter’s life and efforts to recreate “Imagine” in the world and make it a reality, which is why he will always be remembered as being the second worst president in the history of the world.  But at least he lived long enough to see the worst, another old hippie, drug-abusing loser, Joe Biden, who made from his loins the diabolical production of flesh that is everything wrong with the world, Hunter Biden.  “Imagine” is a world where all these people are in charge.  We just experienced it, and what it was can only be described as a nightmare that is finally coming to an end.  “Imagine” that!

Don’t Be A Wimp: What I expect society to be

Yeah, no, it was not acceptable for everyone to turn into babies over just 7 inches of snow and stay home like scared losers.  It was embarrassing to watch people in Cincinnati turn into cowards and display part 2 of COVID-19, where they let the experts tell them to stay home locked up until the snow emergency was over.  Most of Cincinnati listened to the weather terrorists as the first real snowstorm came through shortly after the New Year of 2025.  I watched the weather porn on television, too, especially Fox 19, and they had wall-to-wall coverage.  I understand their position; they are weather geeks and get excited about this kind of thing.  This is the time of year when the spotlight gets put on them, and they relish it.  They over-dramatize everything, and it is never as bad as they say it will be.  Seven inches of snow is a significant snowfall.  But it’s not something that can’t be managed.  I got up that day and did my usual thing unimpeded, as if there wasn’t any snow.  The snowstorm didn’t impact me at all, and I usually drive around through a week more than most people do.  I watched the same weather coverage as everyone else but did not listen to them tell me to stay home like a bunch of babies.  The weather porn was more entertainment than reality.  What we should have been doing was toughing through the snowstorm without impediment.  If it took an extra fifteen minutes to get to work, fine.  If people arrived a little late to where they were going, that would be fine too.  But to stay home, as the weather news told us, and to be unproductive, waiting for some little danger to pass by, is not how any American should be.  Productivity first, and management of safety elements with skill and innovation are expected as part of the process.  Just because people were scared to drive in the snow and were unskilled does not mean we should shut down our entire society.

Of course, many people were mad at me for my opinions and asked me what I thought was the appropriate level of safety over the matter.  A good example of what I believe is appropriate occurred just a few days ago.  A good friend of mine slipped and fell on some ice and split his head open.  He immediately noticed a lot of blood flowing from his head, way too much to rub away.  So, upon letting people know about it, he went to the human resources department where he worked, and they let him know that his skull was showing and that they needed to get him to the emergency room.  After quite an adventure of blood spilling over everywhere and coordination of people who needed to drive him to the hospital, they reported to him that he had a severe cut and that it was going to take nine stables to pull his head together again.  Not nine stitches, but staples.  They, of course, checked him after the patch-up for concussion protocols, which he passed.  He had a pretty hard head but was not displaying signs of a concussion, and they sent him on his way.  He insisted at the doctor that they keep him off light duty or any other impediment to his work schedule.  So, upon his request, he returned to his job with no restrictions.  And through all this, he did not miss a single minute of work.  He fell in the parking lot after his shift of work was complete.  He returned to his third shift position on time, without any excuses, and performed as if nothing had ever happened. 

The only measure he took that gave away that he had an injury was that he covered up his bandaged head with a baseball hat that he put over it to keep it somewhat protected from the elements.  Many people in his position would have sought to milk the system; they would have taken off weeks of work and tried to get out of doing as much work as possible.  But not him.  When there are problems in the world, this kind of guy always shows up and is there to solve problems.  And given the many excuses I heard about snowfall, it was good to see that there are still people like that guy in the world.  We need more tough people who don’t crawl into a fetal position every time something occurs.  I relate to people like that guy. I have done many similar things in my life, and it is bewildering to see such a lack of work ethic among anybody.  I have worked through even worse injuries and major surgeries and missed almost no work in the process.  I’ve had bones sticking out from severe cuts.  And on surgeries where they occurred on a Thursday or Friday and were projected to keep me bedridden for months, I reported back to work that following Monday after just a weekend of rest and recovery.  So, I expect to answer everyone’s questions all at once.  That’s what I am used to and the standards I have set for myself.  And I most relate to people like that guy who busted his head open and did everything he could to fix it and get back to work. 

If you leave your life to the panic porn people, the ridiculous experts such as we did with Covid, where we let them tell us to stay home and socially distance ourselves from the world, you should not be surprised when you fail at life.  Watching the Channel 19 broadcast the night of the snowstorm, I was shocked that those people told people to stay home and ride out the weather.  Who are they to say such a thing?  There is work to do in the world.  That mentality is a loser mentality, to yield to impediments instead of managing them.  I have never been that kind of person.  When I was in school years ago, I was the one who had perfect attendance for years on end.  I am never late for anything.  And if I say I will be somewhere, people can trust it will be so.  I don’t let silly snowstorms stop what I am doing or injuries that happen along the way.  As human beings, we invent tools to overcome nature.  We don’t yield to it.  We don’t let the snow beat us and keep us from doing what we need to do.  I never have, and I never will.  And I have no respect or sympathy for those who do.  People are free to do what they do in their lives.  But I am also free to have my opinion about it.  And I do.  Excuses make people weak.  That guy with the split open head could have leaned into his doctor to get all kinds of time off work and to milk it for everything he could.  But he didn’t.  And I could not have done anything on that snow day, too, and told the world I stayed home because the news told me to, and I would have been justified under some ill-defined definition of safety.  But I’m a great driver.  I can drive through the snow without any problem, so it would cheapen my skills to yield to the masses who aren’t so good just because the experts told me I could stay home like some kid in school yielding to an authority figure.  No, I had things to do.  I had a nice car to drive with good tires; it was well-maintained and had a nice, functioning heater to protect me from the cold.  And it was no problem to drive where I needed to go.  And everyone else had the same tools, too.  But they stayed home because the news told them to, which it was not in their authority to do so.  That is one of the many reasons we are trying to make America great again. People fear a little snow, and it’s not great now.  It takes great people to make anything great.  And being scared of snow or injuries isn’t what makes people great.  Tenacity and perseverance do.

The Heart of the Pedophilia Problem: It’s in what we consider to be “adult content”

I’ve been writing these articles daily for over 15 years, and they are changing slightly.  It will probably tick off some people, but that’s OK.  We are trying to make America great again, and that means that we have to shift our focus from fixing things out there somewhere to looking at ourselves and fixing what’s broken within us, which allowed a broken world to occur in the first place.  So my work here is transforming perhaps from a Drudge Report from the classic days to more of a Tony Robbins motivational seminar at an Alcoholics Anonymous session.  That’s OK. When I started doing this, it wasn’t a very popular thing to do, and it made many people very angry.  But they are only angry because they know it’s true.  And that was never more abundantly true than over the issue of pedophilia, the diabolical trend of having sex with children that is such a horrendous problem—much more than most people want to admit to.  Here in my local community of Butler County, Ohio, we have seen sex with children and a very soft reaction to it from the public in general to be a significant trend among well-paid members of polite society.  So this isn’t just a scum bag in the corner with a porn addiction kind of problem.  It’s happening everywhere.  This past year, I was able to serve as a foreman on a grand jury, and I saw lots of evidence of child pornography that showed me the face of true evil manifesting in the world. That is such a problem. I would put it at number one out of all our current issues.  There are people trying to have sex with kids that you know and they are trying to do it right now.  And no child is safe if they interact with five or more people, even within family structures.  But why is it such a problem?  And why is it so hard for us to admit to it?  Well, that’s the heart of the problem.  We were all raised to advance it.

When we were all kids and coming of age, we were told by society that smoking, drinking, and having sex were “adult” content in movies and books and that we were kept from seeing or witnessing the practice.  Before puberty, we teach kids fun things, and we talk about those things as kids’ things.  But when we get to a certain age and want to show that we are adults, we start doing one of those three things: sex, drugs, and drinking to prove that we have come of age.  How many fourteen-year-old girls take up smoking as a means to show the world that they are now ready to be pollinated and have gained the power to use sex as a weapon?  Well, why do they think that?  Because we told them that was how adults become adults.  And they want to be adults and transition from being a kid.  We taught them that the values of being a kid were to be locked in a closet never to return, or to sell all those cute things from our childhood in a yard sale, to trade all the adorable stuffed animals with body piercings, pop music posters, and sexual conquests.  And because we focus on those three things as our gateways to adulthood, we don’t give ourselves any room to grow any further, and most people never mature beyond the age of 15 years old.  By that time, the mistakes of that chosen lifestyle scare people for life, and they never get over all the bad things they did during this age group.

By the time most people turn 50 or 60, they have made so many mistakes in their own lives and then destroyed the lives of their children with the same diabolical practices that they start to go a little psycho and lose touch with reality.  They come across as so out of touch that young people never consider listening to them for wisdom, which makes the situation worse for the older people, and they drop off the map and die quietly while their grandkids and great-grandkids can’t take their eyes off their smartphones during the funeral, caring almost nothing for the somber occasion.  That is a big reason why adults seek sex with kids, either to get back to that innocence or to undo in their minds the mistakes they made their entire adult lives.  Adults are old and broken, and kids are new and fresh, so in a parade of broken people, kids don’t have much of a chance to enter their teenage years without some corrupt influence trying to groom them into horrendous behavior on a path to self-destruction because that’s all the adults know to do and they pass the mess on to the next generation for all kinds of foolish reasons.  And before you know it, the men are taking their adult wealth and secretly flying to Cambodia to have sex with a harem fantasy of 14-year-old girls while the wife discharges her frustrations with growing insanity because women express themselves differently on this problem than men do.  Women feel rejected.  The men seek youth to do it all over again knowing what they do now that they wished they knew then.  Some men stay in the legal lane by getting a new wife in their 20s when they are in their 50s.  But in many ways, that isn’t good.   Nobody escapes intact, and everyone’s lives are ruined in the process. 

This ruin is on such a scale that we can’t deal with it.  So when we find out that our school superintendent is essentially selling his wife for sex-ploits with the world because of a severe porn addiction, and that addiction is taking them into sex with kids in their school, we act surprised.  But when that incident actually happened, most everyone sat on their hands and said nothing about it because deep inside, they were just as guilty.  They didn’t yet do the deed.  But they were thinking about it.  This trend to decriminalize sex with minors is more than just a desire; it’s the direction a society like ours goes when sex, drugs, and reckless behavior are the only things that we identify as proper to be an adult.  So, our values never progress beyond those traits, and we wonder why we have the problems we do.  Well, it all starts by telling kids that “adult content” is a forbidden fruit, and that’s their path to proving they are no longer children.  And we wish we could say to them that when they are 50, 60, and 70, they will want to have held on to their childhoods a lot longer and not be in such a rush to pick one or all of those three things to show the adults they were ready to grow up.  But that is why we have a pedophilia problem. We have baked it into our social order, and until we change that, it will continue to be a massive problem.  Kids don’t have much chance because the adults of their lives never figured it out.  Because they, too, were taught all the wrong things and, as adults, don’t know any better how to behave.  And it’s not just a few people; it’s most people of all ages and classes.  They all have the same fundamental problem: how they entered adulthood, thinking one of those horrible things was the means to get there.  Only to discover they should have held on to their childhoods much longer.  And if they had, they would have been much happier and intellectually sound as older adults than the empty lives they were given to live and never otherwise questioned.

George Soros Gets the Medal of Freedom: As they burn down Hollywood to hide the evidence of their many crimes

It shouldn’t be surprising that President Biden gave George Soros a Medal of Freedom award at the White House, the highest civilian honor our government can provide. Biden was put in office to be a terrorist and destroy the American way of life, and George Soros has been the ultimate terrorist.  So if you want to spit in the face of Americans, especially MAGA Americans, you would do something that grotesquely insults them.  And with that same evidence of disbelief, you can bet that the fires in Hollywood are terrorist-driven.  They were no accident.  They were set to destroy what the antagonists think of as an American icon, the industry of telling stories in America from a culture that can afford such a luxury.  The Hollywood Hills, where the big sign is so well known, didn’t just catch fire by itself.  My first thought about it, which is looking more and more accurate, is that if you are dealing with a mass pedophilia culture, one sure way to get rid of the evidence is to burn it all up.  It doesn’t matter to a terrorist or a criminal if innocent people are harmed in the process.  All they care about is the destruction of our nation and its symbols.  So, in that regard, it should be no surprise that George Soros and Hillary Clinton both received awards from the outgoing president.  And that they meant it to be an insult should come as no surprise.  These bad people hate us.  And they are losing power.  But what we see is no accident; it’s quite on purpose—and meant to be an insult.  They are daring you to have an opinion about it and want to show you that they have had control of our government all along.  And while they still can, they are going to award George Soros and others the best they have with the same malice that the eco-terrorists burned down Hollywood for all the same reasons. 

But even to further cheapen the experience, they gave many people those Medal of Freedom awards, not just George Soros.  The whole event came across as a visit to the Island of Misfit Toys from Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.  Even Michael J. Fox got one as an actor struggling with Parkinson’s disease.  Who can argue the merits, but that’s how these characters operate.  They hide their maliciousness behind conventional orthodox.  By tying George Soros to Michael J. Fox, they make it so that you can’t criticize one without insulting the other.  Just as they have done with the arson case, Trump is coming into office to attack their communist structure in California, so they create a crisis that justifies big government, and things get out of control.  And to sell it, they have to harm good people as well as bad people, bad people defined as those who facilitated the sex parties that are going to be prosecuted under a Trump DOJ.  And because the goal is to destroy evidence and make it impossible to arrest people and search their homes for evidence of these escapades, you have to burn out everyone so that it doesn’t look so obvious.  You might take out critics like James Woods in the process.  Then, blame it on climate change and try to capture the narrative as Trump is put back into office.  We’ve seen this all before, and that’s what the people do.  It’s how they think.  And it’s how they award George Soros for all the money he has funded into American domestic terrorism while disguising it behind people like Michael J. Fox and other actors that people might like to see getting an award. 

There with his dad was little Alex Soros, who many think will be able to pick up where his old dad left off.  And with the amount of money that they have to complete the task, many are worried.  But I would say to all those many, don’t worry.  These people are losers.  George Soros was only able to do what he did because he suckered people into thinking he wasn’t as evil as he was.  This is why people have a hard time admitting that the Hollywood fires were really arson instead of some environmental accident inspired by climate change.  Out of all the women Alex could date, he’s dating Hillary Clinton’s handmaiden Huma Abedin; the used-up has been of the pornography junkie Anthony Weiner.  Little Alex picked her out of all the women that money can buy.  That shows these people’s terrible judgment and explains why they are currently on the outside looking in.  Why are they losing power, and, ultimately, why were they not able to stop Trump and the MAGA movement once everyone caught on to what they were up to?  And it was that same lousy judgment that provoked them to give the Medal of Freedom award to a known American terrorist.  And that same stupidity that caused arson in Hollywood.  And caused riots over George Floyd, the drug user that they tried to exploit to start a race war.  These are all bad things from bad people who are really a small group of people, which is why Alex is keeping his relationships within his tight little circle of malcontents who want to destroy America using George Soros’s money to do it.  But with all that money, the best that little Alex can get as a potential wife is Huma Abedin.  That goes to show you what money can buy and can’t.

The same as trying to burn down America

What money can’t buy is trust, and the only way all these criminal enterprises have gotten this far out of control is because American people living their nice, comfortable lives have a default mode of trust that people like George Soros have been willing to exploit.  And knowing that, his son, little Alex, their mutual friend Hillary Clinton and a handful of other malcontents who thought they could buy the trust of Americans even as they spit in their face thought they could sucker everyone into looking the other way while they put Joe Biden in office through pure election fraud.  Or burnt down Hollywood to erase the sins of their past as angry justice is returning to the White House.  And with all the terrorism that George Soros sponsored to stop Trump and put him in jail for hundreds of years, he failed.  They had nothing left to do but give themselves awards and have a party while they could.  Out the door, the fire in Hollywood was their giant paper shredder, used to get rid of all they had done and hide it behind a true tragedy.   It’s their playbook for everything, including the disastrous Covid crime that is still pending punishment.  I know it bothered people to see Soros get the award, but consider the circumstances and what it means.  And we have a bunch of misfits who have lost power and aren’t getting it back.  And as spiteful as they are, they are trying to cheapen the award by giving it to themselves as a final parting shot while they still can.  And what that says about them is far more valuable than the cost of the award itself.  And the revelation of the genuine hatred they have for America at the core of every hostile act they have funded and fueled toward the destruction of our country behind a thin veil of trust they no longer possess.

Getting Back to Mars: Why the CIA is leaking that giant people built pyramids on that remote world

The evidence is underwater on Earth

We are far enough along to make some general statements of a reasonably large magnitude.  We have enough evidence to understand why the CIA is leaking some of their regression hypnosis experiments, which include a species of large people who built pyramids on Mars.  And that the proof that they migrated here to Earth many years ago, likely well before the last ice age, is abundant everywhere.  It’s just not where people have been looking.  It’s like looking for your lost car keys under a parking lot light when you left them in the restaurant.  But the restaurant is closed and dark and you can only see under the light.  So that’s where you look for your lost keys.  Since I have seen some of the unusual stonework in Ishi-no-Hoden, Japan, and started thinking about just how ancient the Silk Road was from the Near East to Japan, it is evident that the world’s prime real state property from that period is underwater.  So the evidence of what came likely from Mars, and even more likely, many other places in the galaxy, forces us to completely re-think our previous assumptions on the evolution of humanity.  We did not evolve linearly, migrating from one invention to another, but we have witnessed many tens of thousands of years, perhaps even millions, of rising and falling cultures creating significant stone monuments all over the earth, much of it buried under the water along coastal regions now, were the result of a lost technology that is waiting to be rediscovered and were the result of a race of people who could and did make the journey from Mars to Earth for some needed reason.  This culture was global and abundant worldwide, as we are discovering with LiDAR readings revealing massive amounts of civilization thousands of years ago that were trading with each other culturally over vast spaces. 

This global culture was having a crisis and built their entire civilization from a mythology of their homelands.  In the Mediterranean region going down into what we now call northern Africa, among the Khemetians, Malta, and even into Crete, they revered the Dog Star Sirius as if this global stone-working culture yearned for home desperately.  They brought technology and an understanding of advanced mathematics that would have taken tens of thousands of years to develop.  These were not hunter-gatherer groups but very sophisticated people with most of their culture erased, except for the stonework they left behind.  Everything else has decayed into oblivion and was only captured in oral traditions of subsequent cultures, like the Egyptians, Sumerians, and throughout the Indus Valley.  What happens to all cultures, as we are seeing presently in the United States, is that detrimental ideas usually destroy the advancement of civilization.  That is, after all, what we see Democrats attempting to do in the modern age, to climb back into a primitive state where they can rule over the ashes.  And that is the real secret and reason for the massive cover-up: the admission to the sciences that humanity doesn’t progress along a straight line of continuous achievement.  But it can all be wiped away repeatedly by bad decisions and poor government.  And in the case of what we have seen on Earth, it can be wiped out and, in many cases, wholly forgotten.  When I saw Ishi-no-Hoden for myself, after visiting places like Stonehenge and Chichen Itza personally, and touched the rock as opposed to just seeing pictures of it, I am confident that the culture that made these things were far more advanced than we are today about certain kinds of things.  Their roots came from other places besides Earth because their religions and philosophy, captured in passed-down myths, have a crisis of abandonment that always points back to the stars, like Mars and Sirius. 

And many authorities know what we will find once we return to Mars, which is happening rapidly now.  As I said, the CIA has done remote viewing on these subjects, and much of what we know is going to be declassified under the Trump administration; they are trying to leak out long-held secrets because the psychological impact is going to be tough for the entire human race to deal with.  But Elon Musk made it so that humanity can return to the stars, and once we get out there, we will find ourselves in the process of rediscovery.  That’s the primary reason we never returned to the moon.  We will see archaeology everywhere, which is from our previous cultures.  Just as we see all over the earth now, we have not given it much thought because the coastlines have changed significantly since those early times.  The ocean levels were more than 400 feet lower during the Ice Age and off the coast of Japan, the entire area of the Persian Gulf north of Qutar, large spans of territory south of Italy down into Malta, and all across the Atlantic, around Florida, Central America, everywhere, the evidence of this very ancient culture is there and tells the story of migration from Mars to Earth, and they brought with them their advanced culture that had been moving about the galaxy with great activity.  But they were somewhat abandoned on Earth and yearned to return home to the stars.  

As I have said in the case of Deloris Cannon, I believe quantum mechanics can explain remote viewing and is a valid science. What the CIA experimented with revealed startling information that became power over the rest of the branches of government that they tried to justify as national security.  However, it ended up being detrimental to the human race because the psychology of such knowledge could and would be catastrophic.  And that so many institutional powers invested their reputations in a line of dialogue that just has not been accurate but instead was self-centered and empowering.  We came from a creation story so that we didn’t have to admit the truth, that we came from the stars and are now returning.  And that much of what we have been doing for tens of thousands of years is striving to get back to where we came from.  And the secrecy the CIA has been trying to hide from us all is coming undone with that same trajectory.  The jealousy that the institutions tried to guard against this global realization of the evolution of humanity is now falling apart among all known governments; they have lost the ability to contain the truth.  The truth is in places like Ishi-no-Hoden, the assumed age is 14,000 BC.  Or on Malta, building temples to the star of Sirius in 3,600 BC, over 5000 years ago.  Think about Sirius Radio.  The signs are everywhere; humanity knows, even if they don’t consciously have a way to connect that knowledge to their terrestrial realities passed down through institutional sciences that were always wrong.  The human race makes terrible decisions and regresses to acting like Stone Age malcontents, always hunting for food and warmth around a campfire.  That doesn’t mean that society didn’t develop into something lofty that could travel between planets at times in the past or well into the future, as we are doing now.  And if you want the proof, I would say it’s at the bottom of the Persian Gulf.  It is under Mount Moriah, where the Temple of Solomon was built over some of that ancient past.  God wanted Abraham to sacrifice Isaac upon that Foundation Stone there.  There was a vast history at that spot that the world’s religions have been trying to mask.  But we see it in the tunnels under the Holy of Holies where the current Dome of the Rock resides.  History is there for all if only people could look at it.  Or to look for their car keys where they last left them instead of where it was most convenient to look.  The proof is everywhere, especially along the ancient coastlines when the oceans were much lower than today’s.  And what we see there is a culture that we will visit again on the surface of Mars once we start settling there again.  Then we’ll admit the obvious: it wasn’t aliens that came from Mars and the stars to visit us and bring us technology.  It was us all along.

Catherine Herridge Delivers the Goods: A CIA whistleblower reveals how they kill people with energy weapons

There is a lot wrong with the Matthew Levelsberger case, where he supposedly drove a Tesla Cybertruck to the front lobby of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas and detonated a car bomb on January 1st, 2025 and we are all supposed to believe that it wasn’t connected to the terror attack in New Orleans.  And that the driver shot himself in the head with a Desert Eagle moments before the explosion and that all kinds of evidence was found at the scene that makes a nice story for quick FBI resolution. But for the fact that he emailed a letter to some media personalities that said that he was in trouble as a whistleblower and that he didn’t think they’d let him flee to the Mexican border.  Then, of course, everything could be untrue and part of a plot of deception to hide the real villains and causes for the intended violence.  But let’s not speculate here because we have been given a lot to speculate about, and that is entirely likely the point.  I happen to carry a Desert Eagle as my concealed carry weapon so I know how powerful it is.  It’s not the kind of gun you hold with one hand and shoot and still have a head after.  We now know that there was a driver in the car already there moving his head just before the explosion and that the head was still in one piece, which a .50 caliber bullet hadn’t yet made a mess of.  The attempt to create a public relations sensation and connect all this to Area 51 somehow shows a CIA amateur hour that reminds me a lot of the Oklahoma City bombing and the concealment of the third terrorist.  Of course, that all was covered up by the more horrible terror event 9/11, which happened just a few years later and involved even a deeper level of cover-up.  I think the safe thing to say is that the terrible people who have been in charge of our government never thought that the Internet was going to create free speech. Rather, it would serve as a propaganda vehicle for big global government, and they have now lost control of the message, just ahead of Trump’s inauguration for a second term. They are getting desperate and trying all the old tricks, but people are figuring them out in a way they aren’t prepared for.

So, let’s discuss what we know about this level of deception, which came from Catherine Herridge, the former Fox reporter who is now doing independent journalism. And she was always one of the good ones, a classic reporter who does things for the right reasons.  Just a few days before this terrorist attack at Trump’s Vegas Hotel, she did a significant segment that was on “X” about a CIA whistleblower that got to the real meat and potatoes on this terrorist subject and to whom the CIA is actually loyal, the concept of a domestic America or a global one world government for which they are a front-line military effort of overthrow?  And to that second point, what are their weapons hidden behind conspiracy theories, most of which they create to keep people through deception from knowing what they are up to?  And to that point, Catherine Herridge is no conspiracy theorist.  She is among the last of the mainstream media who worked well in that world and is the best they have to offer.  She’s not a wild and crazy Alex Jones.  She is the kind of woman who was a senior investigative correspondent for CBS in Washington D.C., And here she was with a CIA whistleblower around Christmas of 2024 with a story revealing that the CIA uses energy weapons to get rid of people they don’t want talking about their actions. 

When we talk about energy weapons, in this case, it’s an AHI energy weapon, an Anomalous Health Incident.  It’s where an energy wave can be fired at your body, and the effects can scramble your cell structure and rip away your immune system so that all the parasites already in your body can run free and destroy you with advanced illnesses.  And here was Catherine Herridge showing proof in a proper way of a real CIA whistleblower about how she had outlived her usefulness to them, and now they were trying to get rid of her by scrambling her brain.  And it’s not just this one person; there are a lot of whistleblowers coming out about this blatant abuse of employees by the CIA to close up loose ends on the kind of people who gain a career’s worth of secrets only to become dangerous and disposed of early in retirement before they get a chance to talk too much in old age.  Based on the evidence, this is a policy among the CIA to keep former and current employees quiet about the classified projects they work on.  And I believe the whistleblower in Catherine’s interview.  I have always thought that’s how they killed Andrew Breitbart.  Steve Bannon says no, that Andrew already had pre-existing medical conditions.  But I would say this is how the CIA likes to kill people through the appearance of natural causes, as they do with the heart attack gun, which is a little dart of ice that, once it enters your body, melts and releases chemicals that send people into cardiac arrest.  I’ve always thought that was the cause of the heart attack with the film director, Stanley Kubrick, because the elites featured in the movie and their Ishtar-based sex practices didn’t want people to see what they were up to, and they sought to send a message by killing the director during the rough-cut part of the film’s production of Eyes Wide Shut.  Steven Spielberg took over the cut of the film advocated by Tom Cruise and his wife, Nichole Kidman, and the film was released, shocking the world with a peak under the curtain of polite society.  And none of those Hollywood people were ever the same again.

Energy weapons could scramble your nervous system from a remote location that would never trace the aggression to the aggressor.  And all that the victim would see was that they suddenly became sick.  These weapons could be used to advance cancer growth, diabetes, brain disease, and all sorts of health conditions that would appear to be natural causes.  But in all truth, there are murders and political hits to preserve a view of the world driven by globalism and all kinds of flawed characters who want to destroy our concept of an American representative republic.  That’s how they have been controlling the herd, as they see us that way, not as people they serve but as those they must make submit to their authority, as a black budget enterprise that is not accountable to our mechanisms of government.  And this story about these energy weapons came out just a few days ahead of the terrorist events of January 1st.  And ahead of the threat of President Trump declassifying a lot of these CIA acts of terror so people can know for themselves things like who killed President Kennedy.  And what was really behind Watergate?  And who performed the coup behind getting rid of President Trump the first time.  We don’t need to turn to conspiracy theory for the answer because Catherine Herridge had a real-life CIA whistleblower to tell us precisely what is going on, along with other witnesses.  We only needed a media member to carry the story, which is what Catherine did.  And suddenly, the motivations for terrorist attacks become much more obvious from this desperate band of characters.  And the Las Vegas event was desperate.  It was sloppy and full of holes.  And performed by desperate people facing public scrutiny they aren’t prepared to deal with.  So they are trying the old tricks, and people aren’t buying it.  An attempt to use a government asset that they could probably provoke through an energy weapon, an advanced condition of PTSD, to control a damaged mind, and to try to turn the public against Trump and Elon Musk with this terror attack is a script we’ve seen before.  The Cybertruck could even drive itself to the detonation zone.  But this isn’t the 90s like with Oklahoma City, where the story could be controlled.  Or even the 2000s, where the narrative of the hijacked airlines running into the World Trade Center could be sold as Islamic terror and a chance to celebrate firefighters and patriotism as we sent troops to bomb dirt in Iraq and Syria.  No, this is the age of independent journalism, and Catherine Herridge presented the goods, and the CIA is in deep trouble, as they should be.  They have been up to no good for far too long, and we are at a time where they will have to pay for what they’ve done.  And they are in a panic.  Get rid of the CIA, and many of these problems would disappear.  Whatever we replace them with must be accountable to Congress.  The CIA was a disaster from the start, and it is beyond reform.

I Understand Why God Destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah: The mob outside Lot’s house were not worth saving

The city of Sodom

I’ve been thinking a lot about Sodom and Gomorrah this holiday season, 2024, and going over into 2025.  Not just in the usual things, like where they were as cities along the Dead Sea in the time of Abraham.  But I’ve been thinking a lot about Lot and his wife and daughters being warned that God was going to destroy the city and that his family needed to leave.  Because God couldn’t find one good person to save, he sent a couple of angels to retrieve Lot so he could destroy everyone else.  I honestly understand God’s frustrations and anger, and I have been thinking a lot about just pushing the button and erasing the whole thing.  I believe that, in my case, I know more than ten people in my life who are worth saving.  But I can understand Yahweh’s predicament.  I would say I am a very positive person. Extremely positive.  I have a personality that can carry risky relationships, so I have allowed in my life people here and there over the years who are very self-destructive in the hopes of pulling them up off the mat and giving them psychological access to a good life.  Wealth is measured in many ways, so I consider such an opportunity much better than handing someone millions of dollars.  A bankrupt personality will blow through money like hot butter right out of the microwave.  So before you can attempt meaningful wealth-building, you must fix what’s wrong with people deep inside themselves.  So, my policy for over four decades has always been to give a few wild characters a chance to do the right things and have access to a better life than they would ever get.  And to show them the way to a righteous existence. 

The angry mob that wanted to rape God’s angels. Driven by lust, greed, and animal motivations

This year, for whatever reason, I had to associate with a more extensive sampling of people during the Holidays, which was very tiring.  I tend to give myself a lot of time to think. I usually read three books a week, but through the Holiday season of 2024, I was having a hard time completing only one because the demands for my time were very intense between family engagements, professional contacts, and random chaos.  I saw more people than I cared too, which didn’t allow for a lot of room for me to have the patience to carry out some of the diabolical reform projects that I usually do without them impacting me personally.   And while all this was going on, I felt I could hear the voice of God whispering in my ear, “Stop wasting time on these losers.  Dump them and free yourself from the shackles of their pathetic existence.”  And I kept thinking about the losers who saw the two angels go into Lots house to warn him of what God planned to do.  And they gathered around it and demanded that Lot send his guests out into the street so that they could have sex with them and rape them against their will.  Lot, trying to be the peacemaker, instead offered to send out his two virgin daughters.  But these were homosexual men who gave the name to the process of sodomizing victims because of the debauchery of Sodom, the destroyed city.  And they wanted to rape the two beautiful angelic men.  There is a lot wrong with all of that, from the mob that wanted to rape the angels to Lot offering his virgin daughters instead.  I would never do that.  People have asked me what I would do in Lot’s case. Well, I would have made it so that every one of those mob members would never sit at a dinner table again.  Sending my daughters to a mob of rapists would never happen under any circumstances.  No threat of violence can’t be overcome with superior methods of aggression, to be nice about it.

The angels had no choice but to blind the aggressors working against Lot
And God eradicated the city because not one person was worth saving turning it all back to dust for which it came

The people I am referring to just wore me out were people who might otherwise be in the mob that Lot had to defend himself from.  If you know the story, the angels, seeing Lot’s predicament, took pity on him and just turned on the mob and blinded them so that they could all escape, which they did and joined Abraham in the desert before God destroyed the place.  Along the way, of course, Lot lost his wife because she looked at the destruction.  Then Lot was sleeping with his daughters, so there were other problems.  But the moral depravity of society, in general, is what we’re talking about here and whether or not members of the mob could have been reformed if only someone had tried to find the good in them.  And this hasn’t been a come-lately project for me.  I have done this as a policy, trying to help people who are just bad and rotten to their core; I’ve wanted to give them a seat at the table and teach them how to thrive there.  But in most cases, if not all, they always let me down.  And we’re not talking about a person here or there; we are talking about many hundreds, and in some cases, many thousands.  After many interactions with those types of people in my life in 2024, I had to reflect and ask if there was one worth saving or trying.  Or were the angels right about everything, and the only way to move forward is to blind everyone and leave them to ultimate destruction, and that we should never do like Lot’s wife, we should never look back, lest we destroy ourselves in the process.

Sodom before
Sodom after

I’ve never felt that trying to help these kinds of people took much away from me that I couldn’t replace with my upbeat personality.  And that’s the only reason I haven’t just pushed the button and dropped all those people from it.  I get to a point where I move on when people disappoint me.  And I try to help someone else, hoping that one or two good people can be found and reformed somewhere along the way.  But truthfully, once people are broken, they don’t come back.  They stay broken and try to destroy whatever is good around them.  And there is no way to help them, no matter how hard you try.  I think the tipping point for me occurred during the subway story of the woman who was lit on fire by an illegal immigrant.  I was sitting at a table in a nice restaurant with a party of people who were personal projects of mine, some working out well, some not so much so, and I caught that news story on the television over the bar.  I looked at the table before me, thinking about all the evil on display, and I realized that the Angels had the right approach.  In many cases, the people I was dealing with were already blind; I was trying to help them see.  But I decided that night to let them stay blind and stupid and leave them to their misery.  And I was going to move on from those people that history has known as the mob outside of Lot’s house.  And rather than trying to save them from desiring such depravity, God had the right idea when he planned to wipe them all out.  Because there was no way to save them, these were the same malcontents of Ham who laughed at Noah’s nakedness when the other children sought to save their father’s dignity by covering him.  There was no way to save such evil.  And that is an admission that is sometimes necessary.  I certainly understand why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, and even to this day, nobody knows much about the ancient cities because they were so bad that there wasn’t anything left worth knowing.  And that is the same case with most people.

I get it

Making People Great Again: What would you do if you were Lot

It’s an unfortunate Civil War, and this whole issue of the H-1B visas is a problem, but everyone is missing the real point on the matter.  I don’t think the issue of looking for skilled immigrant labor over domestic skilled labor because they are cheaper is the issue.  That might be the fear of the labor unions and this is the danger of bringing people into the Republican Party who aren’t really conservative.  And we know Elon Musk was a Democrat for most of his life and was converted because of Trump.  And the people demanding only using domestic labor have more of a labor union view of the world on this issue.  The real issue isn’t financial; the quality of people available is the real problem.  You might want to hire domestic people for some enterprise, but there is a reason foreign labor is so attractive, and it’s not money.  Nor is it regional.  It’s value-based.  At least, that’s my experience.  And to cover the point, I think we need to reframe the premise a bit, which is an issue that has come up for me more and more: a personal story about my son-in-law that gets on my nerves often these days.  I have terrific kids, but that’s not by accident.  There was a lot of hard work that went into raising them, and there isn’t much in society that rewards good parenting the way it should.  All you get is seeing your kids grow up and becoming something good.  But social recognition is almost entirely nonexistent.  And worse, and this is the case every New Year, people who were very critical of how I raised my kids go way out of their way to surround themselves with them because they are such good people.  Not to get too personal about it, but it is such an unusual story these days; many of those same critics from over a decade ago are now the people who want to be the best friends of my oldest daughter and her husband, who married young, have stayed married for over 15 years, and have only ever dated each other.  As a result, they are raising a very nice family that everyone wants to emulate.  And the efforts lately have gotten in my way of having a schedule to enjoy my family, which gets on my nerves.  But is a story worth telling. 

I also got married at a very young age because I found the right woman.  But she was a very pretty young woman, and for men who get into those kinds of relationships, you understand what I mean by every male in the world who looks at a woman like that, wants to take her from you.  And when you are young, you don’t have much in life yet to fend them off but violence and tenacity.  Needless to say, I often saw the ugly side of human beings in ways that explain why that recent social media woman on TikTok slept with over 100 men in a day and that it was a story of fascination focused on the morality of the young woman.  But my issue would be with the men; how are there that many men not already committed to a relationship and would have sex with her right after some other dude had done the deed?  Yuk.  And to go at such a pace to do 100 men in a single day, there are only 24 hours in a day, so the math portrays a pretty cheap and loser woman and a bunch of disgusting men as a statistical sample addicted to a pornographic and destructive lifestyle.  So when you have a pretty wife who, of course, is going to produce pretty kids, you have a dramatic portion of society that is plotting and scheming continuously to stick stuff in them for their personal pleasure.  And when it comes to my family, this is a question that came up to me recently as I was talking about Lot from the Bible offering up his daughters to the mob to rape, to save his home guests, a couple of angels……I’m not Lot.  What would I do if I were Lot?  Well, I’ve been there, and many people know exactly what I’d do, I’d fight them.  And I’d fight them all to win, no matter how many of them there were. 

That left me with an unusual problem once my daughters started coming into their teens and wanted to date boys.  I’m sure there are nice young men on a farm in Iowa milking cows at 5 AM every morning and going to church on Sunday for their entire lives who might have been decent people for my daughters to date.  I hear success stories here and there where good men marry into a family and live happily ever after.  But the truth of the matter, which most women will tell you, is that the quality of men just isn’t very good.  They have bad parents and immoral lifestyles, and they certainly aren’t going to grow up with good leadership skills to make good husbands and fathers to my future grandchildren.  So, I was a hard no on the dating experience.  I instead advocated foreign relationships with online boys my kids found in England because they were polite kids from a polite culture.  And in one case, my future son-in-law had a very nice, traditional family with great values.  The other kid’s broken family eventually fell apart and didn’t work out, despite the best intentions.  But in one case, it worked great and continues to work wonderfully.

During this process, I received many criticisms that still exist today.  People didn’t get why I wouldn’t let my kids date some boy down the road.  Why did I think my stuff didn’t stink, and why did I think my daughters were so lofty that some average boy shouldn’t or couldn’t have access to her?  I feel so strongly about all this that I even wrote a book dealing with this issue called The Symposium of Justice, which is a very defined commitment for me.  So when some of those same critics want to think it was by some accident that my oldest daughter and her husband are such good and intact people, it makes me pretty furious.  It wasn’t an accident.  It was a good policy from me, and I turned out to be right about everything, as I usually am.  The rest of the world was wrong.  Dreadfully wrong.  I was never going to be Lot kicking my daughters out into the street to the mob that just wanted to rape them for personal pleasure.  And you don’t want to think of people having such low lives.  But when it comes to sex, they often are.  The quality of people is revealed very quickly, and because of my experience raising daughters, I can say that the quality of people out there is very low.  So now that I often said as they were growing up, I didn’t think any boys in America could date my daughters these days.  Maybe during the World War II generation.  But certainly not now. 

So, it was very controversial for me to only allow my kids to date boys from other countries.  And it wasn’t from some third-world nation like India or China because of cheap labor.  It’s because they had at least found one with whom they could date and build a family.  To further clarify, I don’t go to bachelor parties when other people get married.  My family invited my wife to a bachelorette party once, which caused a rift in our family that persists to this day and probably always will.  I’m rigid hardcore on this morality issue; I’m probably more conservative than Amish people are on this matter.  If you approach a marriage with such scandal in your mind from the beginning, you can’t expect it to last over the generations, and family building is impossible.  So people laughed and giggled about my approach, but they aren’t laughing so much these days.  As I said, I turned out to be right about everything.  I’d rather destroy the mob than turn my daughters over to their disgusting lust.  And I feel the same way about the workforce.  I think everyone has a chance to show that they are high-quality people.  But they don’t grow on trees, and America has been the target of attack by those wanting to destroy it person by person through the education system for decades now, and that has left our workforce a long way from the Right Stuff.  Being a good person and husband or wife takes a good thought process.  Or to raise good kids.  You can’t cheat it.  You can’t create a policy that makes it that way within a human resource department.  You either have good people, or you don’t.  And using the Bible reference, you are either the people in the mob trying to rape Lot and his home guests, or you are trying to defend something precious from the angry mob.  And knowing all that, you have to Make America Great Again somehow.  But it will take more than cheap talk about marriage. All the while, people see strippers at a bachelor party and giggle like a bunch of idiots under the desecration of value in front of an entire family.  Those aren’t the foundations of a good marriage.  And they certainly don’t make good workers, not to the way I think of things.  And when you are looking for workers who get married, stay married, show up on time, and can put their skills to good use, not just to have them, but to work hard enough to use them, often you find that the people you need for those positions are not produced by the culture you are recruiting from.  It might break your heart to be so discriminatory.  However, discretion often leads to much better decisions and more successful enterprises.  And to have a good society, you have to have good people in it.  And to make good people, you need good families.  And we just don’t have enough of those these days for all kinds of reasons.

Trouble With Reservations: How the Biden administration created a national labor crises

This was a hectic Holiday season for me, with many more social engagements than usual.  It’s usually pretty busy, but something happened this year that I have never seen before, and that is I had much trouble booking reservations for dinner engagements, which was very strange.   Because I am usually busy with this kind of thing during November and December, I have a base to say that this year differs from other years.  And that the occurrences were higher than usual indicates that statistically, we’re not dealing with an accident here, but statistical certainty.  But out of the 20 dinners I was involved in over the Holiday season, I had trouble with reservations on 18 of them.  This means that, on the first attempt, the restaurant I was trying to book for a holiday party for social engagements would not accept the reservation due to competing holiday celebrations.  I would have to make a few calls, and in all the cases, I could get a hold of somebody to overcome the apprehension.  But with that process, I also received an explanation that ticked me off.  It’s a trend toward the negative that I have been pointing out to everyone over these last few years, coming out of all the dumb COVID protocols.  That globalist poison attacked our American workforce, and now, under four years of Joe Biden, the impact on the average American worker has destroyed them to such a degree that it was showing up in restaurants and how they staff and handle their employees regarding pressure.  In all 18 cases I mentioned, the general managers explained that they were having difficulty staffing their businesses, especially their kitchens, and were very concerned about overloading them because they were afraid they might quit. 

My idea of a great restaurant is Gordan Ramsey’s signature restaurant in Chelsea, England, just to the south of London along the river.  There are a few great places in the world that I also think about regarding top-tier food.  A steakhouse in Kobe, Japan that specializes in Kobe steak, which is fantastic on every bar you measure.  But that 3 Michelin Star Chef Ramsey place in London is, I think, about as good as it gets.  They know how to prepare food and treat a customer.  And it is hard to make a reservation there.  They purposely have a tiny dining room because they are concerned about the high food quality.  It is an excellent experience if you ever get a chance to go, and it’s costly but well worth the money.  When I was there, they toured me through the kitchen, and I could see how things work behind the scenes, and it was all top-notch.  The workforce was clean, engaged, organized, and efficient.  I can say that I’ve seen the best in the world and understand what it takes to be that way.  That was why I could call shenanigans to many of these local managers in the Cincinnati area when they tried to tell me that they were hesitant to book reservations for fear that their staff might be overworked and start delivering poor food quality.  That was the case in one particularly dumb explanation: a very nice restaurant on the Ohio River overlooking downtown Cincinnati was almost empty on the night that I wanted to entertain guests, yet they were concerned about booking my reservation for more than 20 because they had during that same hour a party of 15 and a party of 10.   

After further probing, I got to the heart of the matter: many people who work in restaurant kitchens doing fine food have become very sensitive to pressure under the Biden administration and the COVID protocols that never disappeared.  While high-quality restaurants were able to hire those kinds of people, their ability to handle stress is much lower than they were just a few years ago, and if pressured in an environment where the demands were intense, these employees were prone to walk off the job rather than fight through the pressure.  So managers of nice restaurants were doing their best to keep that pressure off their kitchens in a rock, paper, scissors game of at least keeping the food quality high, even if it meant a loss of sales at the door.  Cincinnati and areas around the city, especially up in West Chester and Liberty Township, have restaurants that are as good as anywhere in the world, so I understand wanting to keep those high food quality standards by taking the pressure off the kitchen staff.  But the kitchen staff shouldn’t be such crybabies, either.  This was a big problem in my eyes because it’s not just restaurants; this is a major domestic service problem that is the direct result of bad government management by introducing minimum wage increases that were not market-driven and creating workforce shortages with government talk of universal wages and work from home policies of virus management introduced by socialist health departments.  It had taken a few years to get there, but the Biden administration policies had shown up in the reservation systems of high-quality restaurants. The artificial constraint of employees had impacted their businesses to the point where they couldn’t plan to maximize their dining room seating to maximum effect because their staff had become soft and unable to manage high amounts of stress. 

Knowing all this and keeping the managers happy with their dilemma, my approach was to let everyone take two or three hours for dinner so that the kitchens didn’t get stressed out too much and to allow the food quality to be reduced.  My logic to the managers is that they’ll make more money letting their guests wait for the food and buying appetizers and drinks than in trying to pace everything to the artificial constraint of the kitchen staff that was trying to figure out if they’d work that night or call off to play Call of Duty.  If employees are getting paid anyway, why would they work harder?  That is what happens when you take away incentives from the American worker to do more and to do it faster.  Most of these restaurants in Cincinnati are built for speed and large crowds.  This is not like Chef Ramsey’s restaurant in England, which had a purposely small dining room.  The places I was going to were meant to fill every seat, and if they could fit in a reservation, they could book it and keep their dining rooms full.  They needed to push their kitchens to perform.  However, “push” became a bad name under the Biden administration.  Employees have become radicalized and are “pushing back” by saying that they need an emotional safety animal to manage stress so they don’t cry when the pressure becomes too great for them.  The way I think, this is a national security issue.  You don’t see this from workforces when I travel around Asia.  They work hard. In the West, workers don’t work hard anymore, a change from just a few years ago.  Like I said, I do this kind of thing every year.  This year was the first time that I had reservations turned down on nights when the dining rooms were mostly empty, but the managers were purposefully trying to keep the pressure off their kitchens because their employees had become emotionally soft after four years of the Biden administration, and globalism employment practices in general.  And it’s certainly something we need to address as a nation.
