‘The Price of Power’: Mitch McConnell was always a loser and thankfully he is leaving the Senate, finally

Mitch McConnell has announced that he will leave the Senate in November 2024.  He has worked against President Trump all this time and, as revealed in his new book The Price of Power, what he thought of the MAGA movement in general.  As I read all this news, I saw a campaign ad for a local issue that Republican Sherrif Jones is involved in with Democrat Kathy Wyenandt over Issue 12 because they think it looks cute to show bipartisan support for an issue for the greater good, and this is the kind of politics ultimately that Mitch McConnell was involved in during his long term in the Senate.  There is a fine line between cooperative partnerships with people who are not politically like you and being a grotesque sell-out.  When McConnell said in his new book that MAGA was entirely wrong for the Republican party, he has a different view of what that party is, and he is leaving before he has to deal with Trump as president once again.  Mitch McConnell, like many politicians who get into that business for a long time, is not driven by ideological purity but rather as part of their business.  And when money gets involved, intellectual parameters fly out the window.  In the case of McConnell, a large part of his income has been wrapped around the family shipping business with China, so globalism is a very attractive business climate.  He might speak Kentucky and talk to voters on meat and potato issues.  But politics is their career, so they don’t have levity for big and personal ideas.  So they become just another corrupt politician nobody trusts and turn the office they hold into part of the problem.   Not a solution. 

Many people have wanted a change from this system where they truly get a representative government.  I am certainly one of those people and have a long history of voting for people who are more ideological than practical.  And often, it takes money to have independence, such as Ross Perot always was, and President Trump is now.  When you don’t have to make a living off politics, you can afford to be more of a representative than someone who has to cultivate a culture toward voters that benefits your income.  Again, locally, there are hoards of scandalous characters who work in the legal profession and are only into politics to get legal work done for politicians who need such alliances.  So it’s understandable that a long-term senator like Mitch McConnell would be jealous of someone like President Trump who is in politics for completely different reasons.  Trump wants to make things better, whereas McConnell wants to align politics with his need to be in business, the Chinese shipping business that his father-in-law is involved in.  When you look around at the kind of senators and even house members who make a large part of their income from government, it’s no wonder we have such a mess.  The amount of insider trading that enriches these people is bewildering.  But that has changed because people are sick of it, and Mitch McConnell has long worn out his welcome.  For the last decade, more and more politicians have been getting into the business for the right reasons rather than just being another leech of government enterprise.  The Senate will be unrecognizable to Mitch McConnell after this next election.  With new senators like Kerri Lake and Bernie Moreno, the old guard is finding an unwelcome home there, and it’s just a matter of time before they are all pushed out. 

Of course, in his new book, McConnell called Trump a sleazeball and said he was stupid and that he’s a narcissist.  People who don’t like other people always say things like that.  Enemies called me all those things before most people had breakfast today.  But why do people hate others, and how much is it our task to be liked?  From the local issue I discussed between Sherrif Jones and Kathy Wyenandt, I can say they measure political capital based on how many people like them.  And people often only like other people if there is something that one can do for the other, such as making them rich.  And so it is all too tempting to use the power of government to make people like you so that you can use that same power to make other people rich.  So this game of who likes who and for what reasons becomes the gateway to corruption.  But Mitch has often thought of himself as a master of that game and that he defined the rules of how the game was played.  Then, along comes Trump, who has a whole different perspective.  He doesn’t care if people like him, and he’s already wealthy, so he doesn’t need government power to make him that way.  So, what can you do to control such a person?  Control is why people like Mitch McConnell are in politics; if you can control the world’s economic conditions through the power of government, then you can make people like you and want to do what you say for your approval because there is ultimately money in it for them.

Mitch McConnell can never be forgiven for endorsing election fraud in 2020 when he had the power to stop it.  But he didn’t because he wanted Trump to fail, so they all conspired to make Trump look bad because they wanted him out of office.  It happens all the time.  Again, speaking personally, it happens to me way too often, usually before anybody has breakfast in the morning.  You can never let other people define who or what you are.  People’s opinions are a cutthroat endeavor, and when they are involved, people like Mitch McConnell will seek to take advantage of things for their benefit.  But they do hate people like Trump, who are independent and able to function from ideology.  And that lack of control over people like Trump is what people like Mitch McConnell hate most.  So when McConnell says that the MAGA movement is wrong for the Republican party, what he means, its bad in the way that people like him measures value.  Not as a representative of the people but a mechanism for gaining wealth from the marketplace with government power.  When a crime was committed with massive election fraud in 2020, Mitch was happy to turn his head away and allow it to continue.  Because he personally hated Trump.  He did not love the Republic for which our government stands.  He worked against it, to subvert it from threats that people like President Trump represent by their very nature.  And now, with MAGA, there have been people like J.D. Vance and Bernie Moreno, along with others who are changing what success means in the Senate.  People like Sherrod Brown are being removed from office, and new MAGA patriots are moving in.  So Mitch McConnell wrote a tell-all book that was timed to be one last hit as a Never Trumper against Trump before he left office and is disappearing without a whimper.  Nobody cares because nobody ever really liked Mitch McConnell.  They only wanted what he could do for them, using the power of government to sell to those throwing money around.  He also made a disgrace of the Senate, which voters have been changing over the last several decades.  And now that Trump is back, Mitch is leaving because the game is up.  And the only path of survival for him is to jump off the boat before it sinks forever.

‘Bulletproof’: Yes, we have a government that is willing to kill and do whatever it takes to stay in power

Jack Posobiec and his writing partner Joshua Lisec had already written one excellent book this year in Unhumans, and they were actively promoting it when the tragedy of July 13th occurred, and an assassin, a young kid, tried to kill President Trump at the now famous Butler Pennsylvania Rally.  There was a lot that instantly didn’t add up, so Jack and Joshua went instantly to write another book, Bullet Proof: The Truth About the Assassination Attempts on Donald Trump, and they rushed it to market so that voters would have an opportunity to read it before the 2024 election.  And I think everyone should read it, because what we see in Bullet Proof is the revelation of a massive crime, and a government that is criminally out of control.  There is next to no chance that the shooter, Thomas Crooks, quietly left his retirement home job and just decided one day to kill an American president with almost no social media footprint, had appeared in a BlackRock commercial, and had electronic devices that were communicating with characters all over the world.  And the chances that the Secret Service, the local police, and Homeland Security, in general, would make such a string of baffling Three Stooges-level errors that allowed the kid to climb onto a nearby roof and take shots at Trump during a rally that, thankfully missed.  But did hit members of the audience seriously, injuring them and killing one.  Crooks had help, as the book Bulletproof demonstrates.  The book is a remarkable benchmark in history that gets to the point quickly, which was why these guys rushed it to market.  A crime had been committed, a purposeful murder, and the attitude behind it was revealed in Joe Biden just days before the election when he called over 74 million Trump supporters “garbage” in frustration over how poorly Democrats were doing up and down the ticket.  And to get rid of Trump and that garbage, they used the power of government to kill and destroy whoever kept them from returning to power, which is a genuine concern we all must have once it becomes apparent just how terrible some of these people in government are.

Bulletproof is one of those books that tells a story very few want to admit to. Still, because of the not-so-recent Kennedy assassination, we knew which questions to ask immediately after the attempted Trump assassinations. There is a pattern of influence that quickly emerges, which is why President Trump is now planning to release the report on the Kennedy assassination.  Yes, the CIA was involved, and people need to know how their government behaves.  And the people who have done wrong need to be punished, especially in this recent case from Butler, Pennsylvania.  There will be a lot of crying and whining about fairness and unfairness in the coming months.  But when we hear it, understand that the noise is coming from the kind of people who openly tried to kill Trump supporters during the 2024 election and threw in jail those who stood against them.  So now we have irrefutable evidence of just how bad they are.  Bulletproof, the book proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the attempted Trump assassinations were inside jobs, and we have seen this same kind of approach done in many cases, especially school shootings.   But the Las Vegas shooter comes to mind, as well as the San Bernadino terrorist attack on that Christmas party a few years back.  Returning to Kennedy and knowing what we do now about Nixon, you quickly realize that there is a long history of this government, with many different characters who have purposely plotted the destruction of our republic’s form of government.  And until we stop them, they’ll keep doing it. 

What’s unusual here is that it is just as likely that providence played a direct role in the Trump assassination attempt in preventing it.  Several extraordinary miracles occurred to have that .223 bullet barely graze the top of Trump’s ear at just such a moment that Trump moved his head in just such a way that allowed a miss to happen.  Otherwise, Crooks had a side of the head direct shot that would have essentially decapitated President Trump a few months ahead of the election.  The kind of public assassination we had just seen with Japan’s Shinzo Abe, who was killed ironically just two years before on July 8th of 2022.  And we saw in Brazil the president there, Jair Bolsonaro, stabbed in public in an attempt to kill him.  He survived, but then we went on to watch a criminal released from jail literally to become the new president in Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for the communists of South America put in place through massive election fraud there, as we have seen in many places in the world.  The pattern comes in the form of the dog whistle that speaks to lonely, and manipulative kids like Thomas Crooks to doing the work of the ruling thugs who hold government power, and that organizations like the CIA can manipulate these people into performing public assassinations.  It’s all part of a game of public manipulation where there is always a population sampling of radicals like the man who tried to kill Trump at his golf course in Florida, Ryan Wesley Routh, who are willing to throw their life away to perform some terrible task.  We have government people who want to hold aristocratic power all over the world and who have flourished as globalists, and they hide behind these acts of violence as isolated incidents when, in reality, they are far from isolated.  And because Trump is the kind of person he is, his force of personality exposed these people through their desperation to act.  They tried too hard and, in the process, revealed themselves, which Jack and Joshua captured nicely in their book.

This leaves us with only one choice; we have to put an end to these globalist governments and their rule over innocent, sovereign people, no matter where in the world they might reside.  Remember, many books provide irrefutable facts that Covid was a created bioweapon that was unleashed in Wuhan, China, for horrible intentions during an election year when the world was mad at Trump over his trade tariffs.  We are dealing with people in government at all levels and everywhere around the world who are perfectly fine with killing people who are in their way.  And we have to admit to ourselves before dealing with them correctly that those killers have no redeemable features.  And we must punish them and remove them from further danger.  We cannot kid ourselves and think that if we are nice to them and leave them alone, they won’t try to kill us and our elected representatives to get what they want.  Bulletproof the book is fantastic in that it reveals a significant crime quickly because there is such a history in the world that during this assassination attempt against Trump, it happened in front of too many people who witnessed it and knew to ask the right kind of questions before all the evidence went cold.  And wisely, Jack and Joshua gathered that evidence and put it in this fantastic book after a short sprint of challenging work that told the story before a primary election.  And nobody can read this book and walk away without a clear understanding of the forces we are dealing with.  It is an out-of-control, murderous government that uses human incompetence as a cover story for its truly destructive plans of global domination and easy money with mob-like control over capital markets.  And they want no challenge to their authority, no matter who it is.  And they do kill to stay in power.

Steve Bannon is Out of Jail: What happens next is the fault of those who put him there, they can only blame themselves

I’m just going to say it bluntly, I will never forgive the people who put Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in jail during the year of 2024.  The congress that threw them in jail with a corrupt Biden DOJ were obviously crooked, but what was done, purely for political reasons was the loss of freedom for people of a respectable Trump White House.  When Bannon and Navarro were thrown in jail after spending many tens of thousands of dollars defending themselves from a prosecution that was completely politically motivated, only to end up in the disgraceful loss of personal freedom that they had to endure for more than four months in jail.  Nobody had ever gone that far before and had always respected Executive immunity when it comes to administration business.  What Eric Holder and Lois Lerner had done previously, even Barack Obama, was far worse than what Steve Bannon did, or Peter Navarro.  But the Democrats went there, and so did many Republicans who showed to the world that they might not agree with it, but did little to nothing to stop it.  These members of Trump’s Executive White House team were good people and they were thrown in jail like dogs to have to lose personal privacy completely.  Going to jail is no small matter, going to the bathroom in front of people all the time without a door to close would be terrible, and to have to do it day after day after day.  There was no reason for it and the people who did it to them can never be forgiven.  And I personally never will.  I personally like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, and I think the only way to make things right in the world is to prosecute their prosecutors because they started it and abused the government for their own political purposes, and they have to be paid back.

I know the Trump campaign doesn’t need nor want to get pulled into a lot of controversy, they have an election to win.  But logic says that Trump is going to be back in the White House and when he is, a lot of bad people have to be punished for what they did.  If people didn’t want a revenge tour, they never should have started it.  As I keep saying to everyone who is asking me, if they want someone to blame for what is going to happen to them, they only need to look in the mirror.  Steve Bannan as of today is now out of jail, October 29th 2024, and I’m very glad to see it.  Nobody has suffered really more than the people at the Warroom, people like Grace Chong, Mareen Bannon, and Natalie Winters who have done what they good to keep the popular podcast going while Steve, the primary host, was doing time in jail.  They have put on a brave front, but it hurt them what happened to their friends, just because they happened to run the most popular political podcast in the United States.  Looking back over the last four years, what happened to people like Sidney Powell, General Flynn, Roger Stone and Rudy Giuliani has been disgraceful, and it was all done for purely political reasons, to use the power of government to destroy people who didn’t agree with the party in power.  Never forget the mug shots of the people in Georgia for which Trump was one, who were being prosecuted for questioning the results of the election there.  And nothing more.  Remember Jenna Ellis crying like a baby in front of a judge and turning on Trump to appease those powers that were in office when we talk about revenge in the coming months and years.   It’s not just that they started it and now we have to finish it, but if we want to have a great country we must have justice and people must be punished for the bad things they did.  They don’t get to point at Trump and declare that he’s going to put his critics in jail and prosecute his political enemies when it was they who started it.  They have to be punched in the face, at the very least.

I had quite a few friends who attended the RNC Convention this year in Wisconsin and they wanted to know who I wanted them to get pictures with, and my only real response was that I thought Peter Navarro getting out of jail and going straight to speak at the RNC was one of the most important themes of this election cycle.  There are a lot of things that need to be fixed, but this weaponization of government is the key to so many horrible things that we must rectify.  When we talk about the basic Bill of Rights, they were written because humans have a tendency to do these kinds of things to each other when they gain power, and at the core of all arguments about leadership and the role government plays in society is mitigating the failure of human beings who fall off the rocker.  We cannot have a big government with too much power that can use that power against us for their own profit.  And that is what happened at the very least to Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.  They were being forced to acknowledge a criminal government or be thrown in jail.  And to show that power over them and the general Warroom audience, they lost their freedom and were insulted with a lack of privacy.  It’s as bad as it gets aside from actually killing people.  And because the bad guys had to respect the law to some extent, they only managed to put Bannan and Navarro in jail for four months.  In other countries, they could have easily been killed.  This is exactly why we have a Second Amendment and free speech at the heart of all our law and order.  Because without those checks on government power, the government would be killing off their political rivals without fear of ever having the tables turn on them. 

It is too much to expect government to be honest.  And when people popularly elect an administration as they did with Trump and his team in the White House as Bannan and Navarro were and will be again, a government that attacks that pick of the people broke and  the law in the most fundamental way, they sought to override a government by the people for the people, and to change it into something else.  Something ominous and oppressive.  And I don’t want to hear the crying for all the paybacks that have to occur.  All those bad guys out there should thank God that so many people have been willing to turn to an election for their redemption and not grab guns and take to violence against their political enemies.  Of course, that threat is always looming in the background and it’s the only thing that keeps bad people honest.  People cannot be trusted to act on their own to do what’s right.  They must have the fear of personal destruction to keep them in check.  And in the case of what was done to the Trump team over the last four years, since the bad guys did go too far, is the tables have to be turned, otherwise there is no hope at justice for the years to come.  We cannot have a good country unless those who truly did wrong are punished.  And now that Steve Bannon is out, and the election is happening, what happens next must happen.  The bad guys are bad people for a reason.  And they cannot molest our society without consequences, and the fault for that is entirely on their shoulders.  They did it to themselves.

If You Vote for Kamala Harris You Are Stupid: Only dumb people could vote for such a loser

It’s been a while since I was last in the northern part of Ohio, right before an election.  I remember traveling through Akron in 2016, a few weeks before the election, where I was visiting a tool manufacturer, and you could tell who was voting for who.  No matter how conservative the southern part of the state was, Cleveland, for example, and the areas directly to the south, like Akron, were overwhelmingly Democrat party voting areas.  This is the land of Sherrod Brown, the multi-decade senator from Ohio who has been hard to beat over the years.  This was labor union country, they tend to endorse Democrats very vocally.  But even back then, I could tell that Trump would do well in 2016 as Ohio was considered the must-win state, almost to the point where Florida was the other.  They were considered toss-ups during that first election of Trump and, as history would show, would become strongholds for Republicans over the next decade.  And by the time we arrived in 2024, Ohio was a solid state for Trump.  No matter where you went in the state, it was mostly all Trump yard signs.  So, I was curious how Cleveland would be.  I attended a gun competition in the region just a few weeks before the election.  And I saw some Harris signs along with Sherrod Brown signs.  But it is not like I have seen them in the past.  There were a lot of Trump signs, more than in 2016, or 2020 and more people supporting Bernie Moreno than Sherrod Brown.  Even in Cleveland, people were turning away from the Democrat party.  However, there were more visible signs of Democrats in this region, a wealthy suburb of Cleveland, than in other places I have been.  And I couldn’t help but think one thing as I drove by those houses. 

Political expression is not something that should be stigmatized.  People should be able to express themselves and a political party of their choosing without ridicule and harassment.  However, Democrats are well known for harassing those who don’t believe the same things they do—so based on their behavior, when you see other people supporting Democrats vocally, with yard signs and bumper stickers all over their cars, it paints a universally obvious picture.  As I drove by all those homes outside of Cleveland and saw all the Harris signs, I couldn’t help but think one thing based on my experience with those people: they must be stupid.  Anybody consciously voting for Kamala Harris had to be stupid. There isn’t any other explanation for it.  Oddly enough, many of the homes I saw with Harris signs in them, or Sherrod Brown were large homes with a lot of property, so how could such stupid people afford such large houses?  The answer is that most of those people work or somehow benefit from significant government growth, and I don’t tend to view those kinds of jobs as legitimate.  They may be in well-paid occupations, but the type of people in those jobs are often parasites and not the most industrious.  So, of course, they supported a big looting government filled with stupid people who collectively gathered together as an oppressive force to confiscate the wealth of the hard-working and buy themselves big houses that they would put Biden/Harris signs in as registered Democrats.  But knowing what everyone now did about Kamala Harris, nobody with any brains could openly support someone like her, even under the persuasion of personal gain.  To support Kamala Harris for anything, the person must be stupid.

And as I drove by those homes, that’s all I could think of.  These weren’t the homes of people with any foundations in intelligence.  These were stupid people who needed big government to give their worthless lives meaning through force and power.  They were willing to overlook all the problems we have seen with Biden, for which Kamala Harris, an open Marxist, was the vice president.  It takes a conscious decision to put a yard sign out for display in favor of a political candidate.  And I’ve seen them in great abundance over the years on all sides.  So, we’re not talking about accepting the free expression of rival political parties here. Instead, we are just talking about dumb people who need the power of government to compensate for their sheer stupidity.  Anybody voting for Kamala Harris had to be stupid.  That was my only thought as I drove in and around Cleveland.  It wasn’t just an expression of personal gain.  It was an expression of stupidity.  Kamala Harris supporters had to be stupid.  There was no other explanation for it.  To support any Democrats is a stupid idea.  But Kamala Harris is now well known for her stupidity, and with those facts in mind, people still willingly put out yard signs in her favor in Ohio.  So it wasn’t a matter of respecting their opinion for a political belief.  But it was instead an expression of stupidity that they wished to declare to the world.  For whatever reason, they felt a need to declare to the world that stupidity for all to see.  And to do it boldly as their conduct would be forgiven for using government as a leverage against sanity. 

Of course, there were plenty of Trump signs, too.  And I was surprised to see a lot of signs in this region for Bernie Moreno.  It was encouraging to see just how many, and compared to past years, there was a lot more Trump support than I’ve seen in the past.  Knowing the kind of people who are so stupid to vote for Kamala Harris, likely the homes with signs in them are government employees such as school teachers and worthless bureaucrats in government industry.  It used to be that being a school teacher was a respected occupation, but these days, it paints a picture of an overpaid, overweight slob teaching Marxism to the next generation and demanding a fortune for the effort.  They aren’t intelligence representatives just because they are in the teaching profession.  And they reiterate that fact with their voting record.  The people with a Harris sign in their yard are government looters, not hard-working capitalists.  They are benefactors of Karl Marx’ class-based society and they vote for government power because their worthless lives would have nothing if not for such a monstrosity of imposition against personal conduct as they utilize for their benefit.  It’s not like those people with such large homes gained them through genius in business.  They obtained them through the force of government to steal through others with taxes and to benefit the lazy and stupid with large incomes they don’t deserve.  And because they are stupid, they were audacious in displaying their support for a candidate as flawed as Kamala.  Because only someone stupid could vote for a person who is so dumb, it’s not a matter of respecting different opinions.  It’s simply overlooking sheer stupidity in the face of reality and witnessing an arrogance that is out of step with the future the way that only dumb people would find appropriate.  And as hard to believe as it is, there are supporters for Kamala Harris.  And those that are can only be explained to be that way because they are stupid.

The Secret to Elon Musk’s Success: His high score on the video game Diablo

I could tell Elon Musk was expanding his intellect as much as a few years ago, and I covered it as I witnessed it.  It was in the kind of books that he was reading, and because of that, I’m not surprised by his support of President Trump.  The only way you can remain a Democrat with Marxist foundations is through ignorance.  When you start learning things, you can’t support dumb politics.  While Elon Musk has always been intelligent and very successful, his political positions are more a result of knowledge than of upbringing or regional considerations.  For him, the realities of running his businesses have driven him to learn more to survive and, ultimately, provide him with a political point of view that facilitates productivity.  Having compassion for other people is one thing.  Destroying the world over compassion is quite another, and I could tell that as Elon Musk dealt with the realities of politics through his businesses, especially the Department of Labor trying to push him to unionize his Tesla plants, he was heading toward more small government than an imposing, all-powerful government that could take everything you own, and sit on FAA permits because you weren’t supporting their political party to stay in power.  For that matter, President Trump also went through the same kind of conversion throughout his life.  That doesn’t make all these people suddenly conservative the way I would be.  I grew up in a conservative area around a lot of conservative people, so I started that way.  As I learned more in life, my roots in conservative thought deepened.  But logic dictates that we all get to the same place once we figure out how the world works and the people in it strive to live in it. 

So, with all that said, people wonder why Elon Musk is so successful and why those who work for him are so engaged.  Now, I talk to many people at a consulting level.  If people listen to me, they are successful.  If they don’t, then they fail.  There isn’t any muddy middle.  There is no consensus on where everyone gets a participation trophy; success is a very rigid standard, and I always get asked about it by compelling people worldwide.   My joint statement toward any successful enterprise is that engagement is the most important and challenging thing to manage in a business.  You can see it in sports when two NFL teams play football.  Usually when one team wins over another given that all the players are the same essentially, they all weigh the same, they are all just as tall and have talented players at all the positions.  The element that determines winners from losers is the coaching staff and their ability to get good engagement from their players.  Labor unions tend to be unproductive because people aren’t motivated to engage in the business through collective bargaining.  They are always fighting the company management they work for to do as little as possible and still get paid wages at a highly engaged value.  Getting people engaged in a project or company is elusive, and the easiest thing that most management turns to is wages, hoping that people will be motivated to make more money and that they might work harder as a result of how much they are paid.  But of course, as I always say, money is not a good motivator.  Throwing money at people does not get people to be more engaged; most of the time, it lowers it as more money often destroys the things that make a person good and strive to be better.  Once a person stops striving for goals in their life, they tend to be less engaged in the things they do, from raising children to buying a new car. 

I thought it was interesting that Elon Musk during the middle of October 2024 had launched new Tesla products, the Tesla Bot and the Tesla Taxi, then a few days later launched with SpaceX, the first Super Heavy Booster into space carrying a Starship, then landed it back at Boca Chica right on target to be captured by the giant chopsticks, to be reloaded with fuel and to launch again.  It was a remarkable feat of engineering by thousands of people, and Elon Musk had created the culture that performed it.  But Musk wasn’t done.  The next day, SpaceX used a Falcon Heavy to launch the Europa Clipper, which is going to Jupiter to study a moon there, and it came off without a hitch.  That launch alone a few years ago would have resulted from a decade of work at NASA.  But after all that, do you know what Elon Musk was most proud of?  He leveled up in the Diablo video game, which he does quite a lot playing video games.  With all his success, he lives in a little shack at Boca Chica, runs around in t-shirts, and plays video games with his co-workers.  He’s one of the wealthiest people in the world, if not the richest, and he has no pretense of measuring success the way we traditionally do, with great wealth hanging from him in a social context.  And he cares about his high score in a popular video game. 

What is expected at Elon Musk companies, and I know this personally, is that he recruits and retains highly engaged people. Business schools have yet to unlock this mystery because everyone learns the same wrong things.  Elon Musk does a lot that goes well beyond Lean Manufacturing techniques, and no consulting firms in the world have yet figured it out.  But I’ll tell everyone here for free because I like you.  The secret to Elon Musk’s success is that he does not, as a management culture, rob his employees of their emotional investment in their work.  By providing a job, they have a means to make a living.  But he does not impose himself on their work and instead removes barriers to success.  Not success measured in monetary value.  Once people can pay for their lives, families, homes, and social engagements, they want to do work they feel good about.  Elon Musk gives them jobs in which they can invest to create high-engagement cultures.  Cultures where people want to work and express themselves through good work.  If you watch employees at SpaceX, you see them highly engaged at all hours of the day, 7 days a week.  Because they like their work, and it shows in what they do. Most companies miss these traits altogether because engagement is challenging to measure.  But once it is unlocked, the results are apparent.  Elon Musk showed how he gets high engagement by not being pretentious at so much success, especially after a week where he started it on stage with President Trump at that now famous rally at Butler, Pennsylvania.  Musk was equally impressed with his high score on Diablo; people see that in him and can relate to him.  When an owner or job provider does not rob people of the value of their work through social conditions that impose a static order upon them, people will then invest in themselves into a project because they want to, for all the same reasons that people play video games with no monetary compensation provided, at all.  People do things because they feel good doing them.  The world is far better off for a business or capitalist enterprise when people are engaged in their jobs because the products produced reflect that engagement.  And when people are allowed to invest in themselves and not be robbed by some cultural stigma, success always follows.   And winning becomes expected, not just some fantasy folklore from some island that time forgot.  But it is available to all who dare to tap into its vast secrets and opportunities for the curious and hardworking.

The Ruthlessness of Smiling Faces: What people are really up to

First of all, even though I am talking about a recent fast draw competition with the Ohio Fast Draw guys in Ohio, I am not talking about that event, but many other things that are relevant in ways that aren’t always so obvious.  Human nature is what it is, and all things are applicable.  But this particular example is appropriate across the tapestry of competition.  And to that point, I am used to extreme ruthlessness in human nature.  I don’t see the smiles that people provide to disarm your sensibilities as being innocent.  I see the worst in people because that’s my experience based on years of opinion.  So, when I attended a recent Ohio Fast Draw competition in Cleveland, I went out in support for the group because the attendance was dropping, and I wanted to boost the membership with my presence.  But from my point of view, it was hard in the second half of the year to attend the events, starting with the one in August, which I missed.  It was a late night with many good GOP people, including Bernie Moreno, Warren Davidson, George Lang, and many others, and we stayed way too late listening with a VIP perspective to a Jason Aldean concert.  I didn’t get on the road in time to get to Cleveland, which broke my routine for the year.  Up until that point, I had attended all the Ohio Fast Draw competitions.  But August, September, and the rest of the year until Christmas are too busy for me.  My goal for the year was to get to all the Ohio Fast Draw competitions and show my support for them.  But once I missed the one in August, it bothered me to have that intention disrupted.

My gun minutes before a competition

I learned at the next event I did manage to get to that other shooters were not unhappy that I did not show up.  I had been winning many trophies, and people felt that because I wasn’t there, they’d get a better chance to win themselves.  I didn’t let it bother me because I like the people who are typically in Fast Draw.  I understand and respect the ruthlessness of human nature.  So, I put those thoughts into a category of their own to deal with as I saw fit.  Even so, I tried hard to make the next competition to support the organization.  I didn’t have time for it.  I didn’t need any more trophies for the year.  I just wanted to see attendance grow, not recede.  I think Fast Draw should be a sport that more people participate in; it’s better than golf, bowling, or other competitive events.  But a lot of young people these days don’t know much about gun fighting because it’s not part of their cultural experience, as more woke activities have become part of their lives.  So, I am interested in seeing organizations like Ohio Fast Draw survive well into the future, and I would like to see them grow in popularity.  But when I showed up to the most recent Cleveland event, I was already strung well too thin, and didn’t have the time to give.  I attended to support friends.  I was disappointed that I wasn’t very welcome and that many of them hoped I wouldn’t show up.  Now, things get murky because people often don’t say what they really mean.  And they usually hide malicious intent behind appearing helpful.  So people think that what they believe deep within themselves is hidden from the outside world and that nobody really knows what’s going on if they don’t admit to something.  Well, I know everything that goes on.  I understand every aspect of human nature, so nothing stays hidden from me.  I know what is going on with everyone at all times.  And it wasn’t hard for me to figure out what was happening when I arrived at the Cleveland competition. 

In Fast Draw, severe rules for activity on the firing line, safety, and other considerations are rigorous.  Some of the more competitive people in these events go crazy when they hear a cell phone and people whisper in the background while shooting.  They get mad at every little distraction.  So, given that context, I thought it was highly unusual that at my gun check at this event, there was so much concern over my gun having a sticky trigger.  I didn’t ask for any advice; it was the same gun I had used to win several competitions that year, and it worked well for me.  But many Fast Draw shooters perform a lot of work on their guns, hoping to give themselves a slight edge in speed.  So it mystifies them that I use a mostly stock gun and that it has a heavy hammer pull.  Now, given some of the people involved in volunteering to tear my gun apart looking for a problem that wasn’t there, I thought being friendly and respectful was more important than showing anger that I was missing the opportunity to practice before the competition started.  I think they were genuinely trying to be helpful.  But I also felt that something more malicious was going on, and the longer it went on, the more angry I got. 

At the end of a lot of work, several shooters offered to loan me a gun to shoot with that day, which, on the surface, appeared helpful.  But they all know what distractions and changing anything on the firing line do to the process.  So, I found it disrespectful to see that they had made a point to look like helpful behavior to sabotage my approach to shooting in that competition.  I didn’t ask for help.  I didn’t want any help.  And I would have rather been left alone because there was more going on than trying to appear helpful.  The combined efforts were an attempt at sabotage because as the day progressed, it became pronounced that I was the center of many of their thoughts, and they had prepared for that event with an intention against me personally.  Here’s the deal: I won a lot at these competitions because of my shooting method, not because of the tricks of the gun or luck.  My times are consistently good because I shoot close to the hip in a fashion that looks slower to go fast.  And the frustration against me has been that I look like I’m not trying to go fast all the time and shoot in the .300s and even .200s.  I could, but in Ohio Fast Draw, missing the target would become more common, and you would get penalized for missing.  You are judged on speed and accuracy.  I ended up doing OK for the day.  The worries about my gun and the overall process of the day did have an impact, but I worked through it.  Part of the benefit of competitions like that is that learning to manage stress under tremendous pressure is the real takeaway.  So I thought it was a positive experience.  But I was very disappointed to see that so many of those other shooters were happy to see me having a bad day.  They wanted it, which was a good lesson that applies to most things.  It’s the way people are.  You hope that people will overcome that natural tendency.  But Fast Draw is meant to be ruthless, and people being friendly to each other is only a cosmetic ruse for their true intentions.  While I wanted to think more about people, it wasn’t enjoyable to see where their minds were.  The main rule in gun fighting competitions is that you don’t point out every little rule that might distract a shooter on the line, then break all those rules to gain personal advantage.  That behavior might help a person win a few times here and there.  However, it will destroy the initiative of any future shooters who want to take up the sport and grow in a positive direction.  This is precisely why attendance this year has been light and is only getting worse.  When it comes to human behavior, I don’t miss anything, and the moral to the story in this case is that a short-sighted win only hurts the future, which is becoming obvious to everyone.

I expect ruthlessness out of people.  And again, I’m talking about more than my experiences with the Ohio Fast Draw Association.  I would like to relax and spend time with people of common interest in shooting sports.  But often as it is in most things in life, you don’t get what you want.  You get what you get, and you either deal with it, or you are crushed by it.  So with that in mind, don’t try to hide ruthless behavior through a thin veil of helpfulness.  I see it all for what it is, at every level that it’s presented.  There is nothing about human nature, or action, that I do not see. And I see it in ways that most people even hide from themselves. There’s a reason I don’t say much to anybody, it’s because I am perpetually let down by other people all the time and I don’t expect much out of them.  And I don’t ask much of anybody because I don’t want them to have to lie to me when they have no intention to live up to my expectations. I have to manage my disappointment in people by limiting how much I interact with them.  But never think I’m not going to see the truth that is really there looming in the background.  Even if it’s just a shooting sport in recreation, or if it’s millions of dollars at stake.  It’s all the same game played by all the same kind of people for all the same reasons.  People in life want the least path to success with the least effort.  And they hate people who work hard and develop themselves skillfully.  As I have said many times, which is a big feature of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, “Rules are made by the losers of the world to give them an advantage over the competent.”  And as much as I know that rule to be the fact of life, it does bother me each time it is confirmed true by reality.

I Want a Tesla Bot: We need robots to fill the jobs of a lazy workforce and expanding economy

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

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

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

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

Reality Cannot Be Defined By The Lazy Losers: Competition makes everything better

I’ve heard a lot about reality lately, defined by those who are not so ambitious.  Where reality in a proposed Marxist world is determined by the lazy and not very skilled, truth be told, at the age I’m at now, I get asked a lot why I do so many competitive events.  Do I need a few more trophies for my wall and office?  Personally, I don’t.  But I do get involved in those kinds of things, especially in shooting sports, because it tells me a lot about people in general, and I get a kick out of just how much competitors will do as rivals to make themselves better.  When I go to a competitive event, even if I don’t mean malice on my part, I have watched people drive themselves to near insanity with competitive zeal.  And I think that’s a good thing, and I enjoy inserting myself into places where competition is most needed.  And out of all the trophies I have won over the years when I look at them, I don’t so much think of the many victories but of what I was able to do to provoke more competition into people’s lives.  I did get a kick out of a recent shooting competition where there was a not-so-subtle attempt by most of the shooters to distract me from the task of winning.  It’s like a free throw shooter in basketball with audience members waving in the background to divert your attention from the accuracy needed.  But that’s all part of the process, and in the wake of all that competition, things have improved dramatically, which is one of the critical points of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business.  Capitalism over socialism.  Competitiveness over lazy stagnation.  I consider my work in the world good if I have an army of rivals up all night sweating like pigs, trying to plot some way to beat me.  In that way, I purposely go out of my way to improve the world by making myself a target for that improvement.  And it makes me happy to see people try so hard.

But regarding those shooting competitions, the ones who want to win not by competing, but by some form of sabotage, baked into that mentality are the various levels of Marxism that have so permeated our society.  If people want to win by penalizing you somehow, they aren’t trying to win with a fair fight.  They are trying to win with sabotage.  But even in those circumstances, you can learn much about people and what holds back a culture.  So my interest in shooting sports is to get to that raw essence that is at the heart of all human activity.  Shooters are very competitive and, to a large degree, extremely malicious when left untended.  But they don’t disguise it the way you see in other fields of activity, and it always gives me a good perspective on the human condition.  And that is the nature of reality.  I recently stopped by several McDonald’s restaurants for food while traveling for a fast-draw competition with a particularly intense competitive environment as a backdrop for the whole event.  I noticed that the first window had been abandoned out of the standard two drive-thru windows because of staffing problems.  I’ve talked a lot about McDonald’s restaurants in 2024 because they suffer from short staffing due to a bad Biden economy.  And that the trend of the average worker is to say that such a limitation is “reality.” 

We have allowed Marxism into our world, including the attitude in competitive events where the expectation is to penalize the competitor and to prop up the weak with lowered standards.  When I am in shooting competitions, I love to hear the person beside me breathing deeply and trying hard to beat me like it’s the only thing they have been thinking of for months beforehand.  It is good to be the one everyone wants to beat, even if they have to rig the game.  Because it breaks loose the otherwise mundane existence we see in all Marxist cultures.  When lazy losers and the unskilled try to alter reality with lowered expectations, a great detriment is being imposed on our culture.  I’d rather see people go insane over competition than try to make reality a dismal frontier of bland scrutiny.  At one of those McDonald’s restaurants during that shooting competition, they did not open both drive-thru windows, but the young girl working that second window was trying to keep her times down with great effort anyway.  And when I told her she was very speedy, her face beamed excitedly because she was glad someone noticed.  She would be paid to be fast or slow on that drive-thru window, all the same.  But she chose to go fast, and I’m glad she did because I was in a hurry, as usual.  There is a lot to do in the world; the quicker we can do it, the better.  And that pressure is healthy; people need that pressure.  They need to feel that competitive zeal.  They need to think of hatred for a competitor getting in their grill.  Because in their efforts to defeat you, they will become better people. 

So, in that respect, we don’t accept reality as defined by the lazy losers of the world.  For instance, I showed up at a gun shoot recently, and most of the people there obviously didn’t want me to arrive.  They hoped I wouldn’t come to the event because they would have a better chance of winning if I wasn’t there.  So they conspired to act concerned about some mechanical issue that was going on with my gun during its initial inspection.  So, before I knew it, a small team of people wanted to help resolve the problem, which, to me, wasn’t a problem.  But for them, it was necessary to put doubt in my head and distract me in the confidence of my equipment.  I tried to be as polite as possible during all this because what is looming in the background is a recognition that they are trying to keep reality pinned down to a status quo that facilitates their lackluster speed and endurance.  And it’s gotten so bad over the years that when people find out I’m coming to a competition, they withdraw so they don’t have to suffer embarrassment.  So many games go on psychologically and essentially struggle to keep reality from being defined by the best but by the laziest and least ambitious.  To see it clearly, I go out of my way to compete in many endeavors so that I don’t lose touch with that feeling and that hatred that usually comes from competition that is never really friendly. If people are being nice to you, it’s because they are trying to take the edge off you to make it easier for them with less vigor and expectation.  A competition between friends is a nice concept.  But truthfully, it’s always ruthless, and it should be.  At least honesty, in reality, is defined by the solid and competent, who push the lazy and lackluster to perform better than they otherwise would.  When I look at my many trophies, I think of each one of those occasions and remember that to win meant you had to push other people toward improving themselves for the better.  And in those small ways, big things do happen when competition is stiffest, and you fill the minds of your rivals with fantasies of victory for which they would never even attempt otherwise.  And in that way, reality is defined by those who work hardest and are the best.  Not those too lazy to strive to be anything more than a slug.  When you push yourself to compete at anything, it helps to see the need for competition where it’s needed most.  This is why I spend my time doing competitions rather than sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch waving at cars as they drive by.  Making the world better starts with a good competitive attitude and a lot of hard work.

Nobody Wants Beta Men, Not Even Women: The disaster left behind by progressive Democrats and their plots of doom

Trump was hilarious at the Al Smith Dinner in 2024 by calling various men from the Democrat party essentially women, and people laughed because they knew the truth.  Even women.  This whole women’s rights thing has been a disaster.  Not that we should treat women unfairly and not allow them to vote and own property, but in the more subtle strategy of destroying the American family.  There are a lot of things coming undone in 2024, and this issue of wokeness and robbing society of extraordinary women and powerful women is being rejected as we speak, and Trump gets that trend.  He played on it with jokes that were more than true, making them funny and a forbidden subject that has been taboo in our society.  When Trump told Chuck Schumer, with him sitting right next to him during the speech, that Chuck might still get a chance to be the first woman president, the joke became the highlight of the evening and more than a little bit true.  This discussion has mainly emerged during the campaign season of 2024, with Democrats digging in on toxic masculinity by exhibiting Doug Emhoff, Kamala’s husband, as an example of what the 21st-century man should be.  But as the Harris campaign moved in that direction, people started doing some digging and found out that Kamala’s husband had been naughty to women, treating them in very scandalous ways, slapping them, and forcing them to flirt with him at his law practice.  This brings up the secret behind the entire Democrat party: they often present a public profile to hide what they do in public.  And by talking about toxic masculinity, they hope that the low-information voter will overlook all their evil actions.  Just as they have done with Tampon Tim, the proposed vice presidential candidate for Kamala Harris, as he has promoted tampoons in men’s bathrooms but trying to get the public to think of him as a hunter and gun rights advocate.  Democrats are liars who use politics and the power that comes from it to mask their intention to abuse other people and commit crimes. 

The creation of the beta male has been very destructive for the human race.  Men are typically physically more robust, so fighting with each other tends to be more literal.  Men are quick to anger; they might have a vicious fight in a parking lot, but they get over things quickly and can often become fast friends with their enemies.  Women, though, are more psychological.  Since they don’t have physical strength, they have developed mind games, which often mystifies men.  And that has been going on for many thousands of years.  However, once progressive society encouraged women to enter the workplace, to attack the American family, American business, and the essential structure of how humans engage with each other, what has happened has brought everyone a lot of dissatisfaction, which is lingering behind this current political movement.  Women like men for what men do for them, and men like women for what they do for them.  And that was fine somewhat until progressive in the form of the modern Democrat party, coming straight from the manipulators at the World Economic Forum, started telling people that men can be women, and women, men depending on how they felt that day, and they screwed up everything.  That attitude has also shown up in the workplace.  When people have to do business with each other, there is much less directness than there used to be, making doing business much less effective.  Too few people say what they mean, making it hard to get anything done. 

This poison was purposeful, of course.  However, people in their workplaces are tired of the effects, and the change in attitude toward what the Democrat platform has deeply committed itself to results from massive dissatisfaction.  Yet the Democrats behind Kamala Harris are tone-deaf to it.  They are committed to the communist cause and can see no other way.  That plan meant that toxic men who might stand up to the communist push needed to be removed and replaced in business, politics, and life in general with more people like Doug Emhoff and fewer like Donald Trump. It hasn’t worked out the way it was intended, but the Democrats keep giving us more of them, only to have society laugh at the results.  That’s why Trump said what he said at the Al Smith Dinner; he understands what people think.  Just as when he said on Access Hollywood about women, it was the kind of locker room talk people want to engage in.  Because there is truth in it, men talk about women in superficial ways because that is how they are wired biologically to interact with them.  Women want deeper meanings and can often find they can easily manipulate men to their advantage.  Over thousands of years, we have all developed checks and balances on that power, which Trump understands all too well and has exhibited many times over.  And the dumb people thought Trump talking about grade-A female genitalia were assuming that the progressive mind control message would overcome biology, and that turned out to be a complete disaster.  People being polite entertained those woke rules until they saw what they did to the world around them.  And now they are changing their mind.  But rather than adapting to those observations, Democrats have dug in. 

Turning men into betas has been catastrophic because now nobody tells the truth about anything.  Every interaction has turned passive-aggressive because all fighting has become a kind of sissy-slapping contest.  One thing that Democrats have not looked in the mirror yet to admit to themselves is that Trump is the choice of people who want masculinity to be back in society, especially in leadership positions.  I remember seeing Trump at Tea Party events around 2010 when a small crowd of people who loved his Art of the Deal books would show up to hear him speak.  Back then, much of this progressive woke stuff wasn’t known about its impact on everyone’s lives.  Trump didn’t suddenly arrive on the scene with thousands of people waiting all day to see him.  He became that way because he offered himself up as an alternative to the nonsense of the new beta male rules given to us by vile Democrats who want to destroy the world as we know it.  And we like our world; we like women; we like men; we like tough people; and we like leaders.  We don’t want cry babies who cry their eyes out over a caterpillar squashed on the sidewalk.  We don’t like men who take off for maternity leave.  I say to other men daily, “Did you have the baby?  Your wife did.  You need to get back to work and be a man.  Be tough.”  Work when you’re not feeling well.  Lead when you’d rather take a nap because you are too tired.  Be brutal when it’s hard because people count on you to fight when they are too weak to do it themselves.  And as to these beta males, women don’t want them.   Nobody wants them.  And that was never going to be a thing.  Beta men make the world far worse.  The world doesn’t need where everyone fights like a bunch of women.  Because then, nothing will get done.

The ‘Soylent Green’ Effect: Stepping away from the cannibal medical industry of socialized medicine

Cannibals are common in our past, and present.

My daughter and I were sitting in the backyard of her Liberty Township home and looking at the homes that were all around her property. Most were valued at a million dollars each, and we wondered how all those people could afford those homes.  What jobs could they possibly be doing?  And sadly, the answer is that they mostly all work in the medical industry to some degree.  Many of them are in the sales business, whether selling syringes that cost .35 cents to make to a hospital for $200 or X-ray machines and other medical equipment with massively inflated costs.  The markup in the entire medical profession is extraordinarily high, and nobody cares or does anything about it because the cost of all that waste is covered by health insurance.  So, the two industries feed off each other horrendously inefficiently, making everything cost a fortune.  Most of the Liberty Township, Ohio population currently living in those big homes have incomes that can even think about living in those expensive homes because they work in the medical industry or in insurance, making all that funding possible.  There is no way that kids just getting out of college can afford one of those homes, so what is going to happen next to a country that is already struggling with debt, held down by it in grotesque ways?  Well, that’s when I talked about the miracle of the recent SpaceX flight and the upcoming election win of Trump back into the White House, where many of these medical problems will be the subject of his next administration.  And the Kamala Harris people have been trying to use the health insurance issue as a way to scare people away from Trump because, as they say, the President doesn’t have a plan.  Well, the fix to the medical industry is more capitalism, not this socialized medical model we have today that only exists so that people can profit from the prolonged death of people.  I call it the Soylent Green model if people remember that famous movie with Charlton Heston. 

Soylent Green was a dystopian thriller from 1973 where old people were essentially put in a room upon their death and shown all kinds of heavenly images while they died off to give them comfort.  But the moment they died, their bodies were carted off to be chopped up into pieces and processed into food for society to eat.  That is essentially what our current medical industry is; it’s just an extension of the kind of human sacrifice that is common in all leftist cultures, particularly in the Near East with the ancient Canaanites.  The Aztecs, the Cahokians, and the Maya were killing people everywhere worldwide as part of their cultural belief system.  The consumption of human life is to sustain the up-and-coming lives, whether it be in the belief that gods would make it rain for that society or that the old need to be killed off for the young to eat.  The belief system is as old as time, and we have options as a human race with science as a tool only now.  Lots of options.  Using those same biblical references where God wanted the Israelites to kill off the people of the land of Canaan, it was because they were so wicked that Yahweh was disgusted with them.  And we are faced with the same moral dilemma today.  And many of those biblical characters lived for over 100 years.  In some cases, they lived for nearly a thousand. 

Notice how we haven’t talked about STEM cells in a while.  During the 90s, after Jurassic Park came out, people were always talking about cloning and rebuilding human tissue with stem cells.  The sad truth is that we are dealing with a medical industry that has turned to socialized science to produce a Soylent Green effect, and they don’t want to heal people, they want to feed off them.  They want to prolong their deaths so they can profit off their demise as just a modern form of human sacrifice.  Nobody needs to get sick and die the way we currently do.  But even down to the mortuaries, if we apply the same kind of science to the health of our society, a lot of the people who make fortunes off the death of the elderly will suddenly be out of a job.  We have an economy of death that is built on the notion of human sacrifice, and we don’t have to.  Suppose we applied the exact science that allowed SpaceX to land that excellent Super Heavy Booster on October 13th, 2024. In that case, we can also stop aging and heal people back to their prime selves using technology that allows cells to repair a person instead of gradually depleting them.  And the good news is that with a Trump victory, that is the answer to the health insurance problem.  Why would we continue to throw money at a health insurance industry that charges $200 for a little plastic syringe?  When Kamala Harris says she has a plan to help people pay for their medical costs with socialized Obamacare or Medicaid expansion, what is needed is a medical industry with a lot more capitalism in it and the goal of curing cancer and all aging diseases.  Not to sustain them long enough to live a ten-year life of gradually more medical bills paid for by insurance so that younger people can live in million-dollar homes for a while before they go through the same process.  What our current medical industry is cannibalism and just as stupid as every ancient culture that practiced it, which is the foundation of all liberal thought. 

Here’s the other math problem, and Elon Musk knows this all too well.  At this point, for the big picture, we need as many human beings to live as long of lives as we can get them to, and that is not part of the current health insurance discussion.  There is a belief in that same cannibal liberalism that we need to save the earth from those pesky humans, which is part of a mass killing plan that comes up with Big Pharma and the beliefs of The World Economic Forum.  People need to go away so the earth can live; that’s what people like Bill Gates believe these days.  But what we need is the opposite.  We need more people to live longer to colonize space and survive as a species.  The exact needs were present when the Bible was written by people who needed to survive long enough to carry intelligence to the future.  We are in the same situation now.  We are all there are for now because of low birth rates and the fact that it would take a century to produce the number of people needed for this space fairing enterprise.  And we all need to survive for a lot longer lifespans.  So when Trump is asked what his plan is for health care and he says he will plan to bring more competition to the industry, which a lot of short-term thinkers are terrified of because it will destroy the $200 syringe business, the truth is that we have to entirely scrap the old system and embrace a medical approach that heals people and keeps them working longer, having children longer and living as long as they can to transfer their lifetime achievements to future generations more effectively, directly.  The economy will have to change toward invention and preservation instead of decaying human flesh and profiting off the demise.  But first, we have to have courage, elect Trump, and change our entire society away from the Soylent Green model and toward proper restoration and preservation for thousands of years into the future.
