The Modern Mobsters: When the crimes of the Kennedy Assassinations and the Arson at the Beverly Hills Supper Club were never punished, they expanded their attacks

Someone will have to explain to me what the difference is between organized crime bosses like Moe Dalitz, Frank Costello, Screw Andrews, and Red Masterson and current personalities like George Soros and his boy Alex, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerman, and Larry Fink of BlackRock, are.  Because, like those old gangsters, these modern names use power and money to buy up “cops on the take” and use that power and leverage for organized crime.  In the mob tradition, they were after money, women, and regional power.  In the most recent, it’s ideological, their version of how a society should function, but the methods are the same.  The power gained and how it is used are  no different.  And the way to beat them is the same way that the mob was beaten and prosecuted into hiding underground.  This leads me to discuss a remarkable book by Peter Bronson, a former writer and editor at the Cincinnati Enquirer and a person I personally very much respect.  A few years ago, about the time that the insurrection of Trump occurred when Biden was put in the White House by many of these modern mobsters who have bought their way into controlling our government, I heard Peter doing media rounds for one of his books, Forbidden Fruit: Sin City’s Underworld and the Supper Club Inferno.  I picked it up and read it, but at that time, I wasn’t sure how to tie it into everything we were experiencing.  However, now that some time has passed, and we have the benefit of hindsight, it’s quite clear just how important this book is and needs to be to a lot of shell-shocked voters out there.  Any doubts I might have about talking about how the mob moved from the organized crime of gambling and bootlegging into all other aspects of government activity are now long gone.  I don’t think Peter meant to write the pretty crazy book he did, ending with a serious discussion about ghost hauntings on the hill that looks over Southgate, Kentucky up into Newport and Cincinnati.  But it starts with the history of the mob in Newport, why they were there, and how powerful they were. 

More specifically, Peter’s book Forbidden Fruit is about the ways that the mob plotted to kill the Kennedys as president and attorney general because they were messing around with the mob ownership in Newport, Kentucky, which a lot of people don’t know much about.  Well, I do because I worked for some of these characters in Newport and Covington on the riverboats The Islands, which was owned by Dick Schilling, who was the former owner of the Beverly Hills Supper Club, and Mike Finks as a busboy.  Dick Schilling, as the book confirms, was burnt out of his club, based on testimony that was never collected by the governor of Kentucky, who was under mob control, to get to the truth of why one of the biggest tragedies in the history of America occurred in 1977 when the club was burnt to the ground.  The official story was that it was an electrical fire.  But nobody ever proved it, because they didn’t want to know, that it was sabotage of the wiring meant to cause an overload on the circuits and start a fire that would burn Schilling out of the property because the mob wanted it back.  Dick had made the place profitable after years of stagnation, and the mob wanted a cut.   But Schilling wouldn’t sell, so the mob sent a few goons in to overload the wiring in the Zebra room disguised as air conditioner repairmen.  But the dummies messed up the detonation time to PM instead of AM, and the fire started while the place was full of people, killing 165 of them tragically. 

For a while, I lived next to the site of the Supper Club and was fascinated with the hauntings in the area, including Bobby Mackey’s down the hill where, in another life, I had bought a mechanical bull with some friends for a business enterprise we were involved in.  It was in the basement where all the haunted activity was at its highest.  As Peter alluded to in his book, I tend to think that hauntings like there are presently at the Beverly Hills site in Newport, which are older than the buildings on the site and predate Indian occupation of the land, are a source of a lot of psychological trouble in people over a long period of time.  I could point to a similar haunting spot in Lindenwald near Hamilton, Ohio, across the river from Fort Hill, which I say, based on evidence, is part of a mound complex of large giant people who lived in the region more than five thousand years ago.  Their ghostly presence was captured in the Bible as the giant people referred to them in the land of Canaan.  Whatever the case, the minds of humanity are still haunted and manipulated by such places, Newport was built and the people haunted to the point where, in the pre-Vegas days, the mob ran it as the sin city of the world.  And the Supper Club represented the height of that greatness before the mob came along and killed off the Kennedys and burnt out Dick Schilling, who eventually moved his operations down to Louisiana to start the first of the legalized gambling operations that now permeate the country. 

Many people don’t know just how much Governor Rhodes of Ohio was involved with the mobsters of his time, especially the Moe Dalitz-controlled Cleveland Four.  Understanding how these mob bosses owned politicians and worked against the Constitutional protections we are all supposed to be functioning from explains a lot about what we are seeing today, where even larger crimes than the Kennedy assassinations and the Beverly Hills Supper Club were covered up by law enforcement and the media culture terrified that the mob would make them their next target for killing.  Since they got away with it over many decades, these mobster types have moved into government to run attorney generals and regional district attornies, as we see applied to Trump.  And the people who directly control the strings are figures of modern crime like the Soros family, Bill Gates, and the whole Epstein Island entourage of movers and shakers.  Their most recent crimes, such as election fraud in 2020 and the creation of the Covid bioweapon that was released from China to suspend constitutional protections and commit even larger mass crimes, were purposely positioned to overwhelm our legal system.  And many of those tactics were learned from these mobsters in Newport, Kentucky.  The crimes they got away with created the playbook we are seeing now.  What’s astonishing about the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire was that it was a very high visibility target that involved a lot of money and political entanglement.  And it took everyone over 40 years to piece together the evidence, which is only now being talked about rationally.  It took many of the mob characters to die off and their sins to be buried with them before people could discuss the issue of the truth that was concealed.  Just as the mob killed JFK in a joint venture with the CIA and FBI to contain a plot to kill Castro.  And the FBI played along because J. Edgar Hoover was a transvestite, and the mob had dirt on him, and they controlled the FBI.  And why did Governor Carroll adopt the mob position against Schilling? Well, he was a closet homosexual, and at that time, there was quite a stigma about it.  And that is how the mob controls people; they provide the sin, they take pictures for extortion, and they bypass our constitutional protections because they own the politicians that are supposed to represent us in a Republic.  But what we have today are crimes on top of crimes loaded with compromised people now controlled by the same kind of money as it was in the past.  But the motives are all the same.

Yes, I Have Been Having an Affair: Biden is an illegal president, and everything he has done is invalid

I do have to admit it’s been a rough time.  And sometimes even the best marriages are lured by temptations.  Yes, my wife and I just celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary, so that makes this extra hard to talk about because I have hurt her.  And I didn’t want to.  But this has been a time where I have sought the comfort of something outside our marriage, which I think many people are resorting to.  And maybe they should.  Yet even under the worst conditions, no spouse should have to have their marriage compromised with the attention of other elements in their relationship with their husband.  So, for that, I have to come clean.  The whole world will find out about it anyway, so I might as well address the issue before it spirals out of control.  A lot of people pray that I stumble on my own feet at some point and that they can bust me for something, and that constant pressure is part of it.  It’s not easy to run a marriage under these dire circumstances.  But that’s no excuse.  Right is right, and wrong is wrong; there is no way to blend the two.  So yes, I have been having an affair, a love affair.  It has made me feel a lot better about other things, and after I explained it to my wife, she understood.  She was very supportive.  But I had to tell her that I have been having a love affair and spending much time with our American Constitution, and reading precisely over and over again, the Amendments, 4-6, which deals with prosecutions and unreasonable searches and seizures.  Our Constitution is so fantastic and beautiful that it has brought illustrious temptations into our marriage. 

Our law of the land, the Constitution, is quite clear, and everything thrown at President Trump has directly violated his rights under those laws.  One thing that no government in the world has a right to do is interpret what those words in our Constitution mean for us.  We have a Supreme Court that is designed to do that on an exception basis ultimately, but what we have been seeing from our own government for many years, especially these last few where Bide was inserted illegally by a corrupt group of insurgents and has made a real mess of things, so they have continued to break the law by trying to get rid of the Constitution altogether and make up new laws so they can never be prosecuted for the crimes they have already committed.  But the 4th Amendment, the 5th Amendment, and especially in this last case in New York with Trump, the 6th Amendment are specifically important and are designed to limit the powers of government in preserving individual property rights, starting with personal integrity.  A government, for its safety and the powers it has acquired, does not have the right to destroy personal rights under any circumstance.  Ultimately, that is why all the cases against Trump will be thrown out on appeal, and all the attorneys know it.  They did not have the power to do what they did, but this is a classic Soros playbook, and why he should be arrested as a domestic terrorist for attempting to overthrow our country with his financial influence on our legal culture with all these District Attorneys, he has sponsored to destroy our legal profession.  

Some are saying that this quote is not in Ashley Biden’s diary. But this is the same diary that the FBI says doesn’t exist. So what can you believe? But we can judge based on behavior, and there is a lot of bad behavior.

The case in New York with Fat Alvin Bragg and the gang is an illegal imposition on President Trump’s rights for all kinds of reasons, which the Constitution shows explicitly is not permitted by any sitting government, and at that point of recognition, we have a right and obligation to throw off that government and start a new one, which is explicitly stated in our founding documents.  What we have here is a government that stole power by violating the Constitution and inserting a hostile activist into the White House, replacing the one that was correctly and legally elected, and they expect to get away with it by throwing that victim of a government coup in jail to cover the crime.  So this is severe stuff that has not settled on people yet.  And for that reason, I recommend having a love affair of your own with the Constitution.  Read it.  Understand it.  And use it to defeat these terrible people.  These criminals think we are all suckers and don’t understand our laws because they have been such a corrosive element, they expect to get away with everything by stripping our laws away so that their government can continue to grow in power until there is no country left, and the United States can fall toward globalism.  In truth, that is the only exit plan from their current strategy.  They hope to escape their many crimes by destroying the laws that would prosecute them.  And they don’t care what happens in the wake of that activity.  This level of power-hungry behavior is precisely why the Constitution was written the way it was: to prevent the government from gaining this kind of authority over its citizens.  Amendments 4-6 are meant to protect people from their government with unreasonable prosecution and the harassment of private property. 

And perhaps you can see why I have been having this love affair with the Constitution.  I keep the copy I displayed in the video by my reading chair, and I go through it a few times a week, which I have done for many years.  But lately, because of these court cases against Trump and seeing how they plan to attack us all in the same manner, I have been spending too much time with the Constitution, and it has impacted my marriage by not giving me as much time for my wife.  She has been neglected as a result.  But we have talked about it, and we think everyone should have similar affairs, perhaps even to rejuvenate their marriages and the values of their institutional union.  And fear not, this government under Biden, and with the support of the old Weather Underground terrorists who are a radical part of the Marxist left, put him into power hoping that they would be able to destroy the concept of a Constitution before people became aware of it, are not going to get away with it.  They have been caught, and they keep digging their own grave deeper.  After all this, there is no way that they could ever be accepted into polite society with the rest of us.  And that is what my affair with the Constitution has made clear to me.  And it has given me clarity on what to do next.  None of those things involves a life without Trump back in the White House and submission to these criminal scum bags who have taken over our government and tried to destroy our Constitution to get away with the massive crimes they have committed against us all.  For such an indiscretion, my wife understands.  This is why we have been married for a long time and will continue to be.  Sometimes, love affairs like this one are necessary.  And not just a love for our spouses rekindled, but also a love for our nation and the future it deserves.

God, Jesus and Trump: “Why has thou forsaken me”

Just to say what everyone knows but won’t dare say in public.  Trump did a great job with his speech from Trump Tower, but this was not the same optimistic guy who gave his political launching speech in 2015, in June as a matter of fact.  Almost 9 precise years to the day, this new speech, one day after a New York jury and court found him guilty on 34 counts of essentially nothing charges, a very dark cloud migrated over our nation.  A realization that something very sinister was wrong and that even Trump was wondering if it was all worth it.  Of course, during the speech, he said that he felt privileged to be able to run for President and that he was happy to do it.  However, I have watched most of Trump’s speeches and read his books.  This speech was different. He felt he needed to give a recap of the case, which most people agree was ultimately a bogus political hit job by a deep state of insurgent communists who have taken over our judicial system.  Without question, the verdict will be overturned eventually by the appeals process.  But Democrats didn’t care about any of that, they just wanted the stigma of a guilty verdict to manipulate the public during the election season.  But I noticed something else in Trump, something that many in history have seen before, even Jesus Christ.  Trump didn’t say it, but you could tell he wanted to.  He was alluding to the loneliness of his position.  There are a lot of tag-alongs, but there aren’t many signing up to be him.  And he was disappointed.  Where was all the help to join him in this fight?  They just weren’t there.  Everyone wanted to hear him speak.  But nobody was doing anything to challenge this corrupt court that was prosecuting the Republican party’s leading candidate.  The best candidate in the election process to win in November. 

Even more sinister was that not long after, during that same day, reporters had a chance to talk to a gloating Joe Biden, where all these charges originated. When he was leaving the press conference, someone asked him about Trump thinking of himself as a political prisoner, and Biden stopped and gave a very evil smile that he didn’t need to do. It was one of those “do what I tell you to do” looks, or “you’ll swim with the fishes.”  It was a look that told the world that he was part of a system that decided who had power, how it was used, and that the audience wasn’t part of it.  And neither was President Trump.  He didn’t have to look; he could have just walked off the stage but wanted to give it.  Just as he bragged about his dealings with Ukraine and the leverage he had over them with money.  Actions which Democrats would impeach Trump over a few years later for which he was completely innocent.  Joe Biden was telling the world that the system was impossibly rigged against everyone and there was nothing anybody could do about it.  And it was a look I think was worth a lot of time and effort because it only confirms what everyone has suspected all along.  People still want Trump; he’s their only hope in many ways.  Only hope in a legal resolution to this menace anyway, and one that can avoid the violence of an open revolutionary war of a Civil nature.  There was no way the world would ever join together as a common nation under God now.  It was war; one side would win, and the other would lose, and people would be hurt one way or the other.  Biden’s smile showed that he understood and that he didn’t care.  The decisions have already been made. 

As I heard Trump speak, I thought of Socrates, who was poisoned by the government in 399 BC, many centuries before Christ walked the earth.  They killed Socrates for corrupting the youth and they forced him to drink poison as a death sentence.  Many people have been persecuted for challenging an established order since the beginning of advanced civilization.  Then, of course, I thought of Jesus Christ at the end, hanging on the cross when he said to the heavens in his last dying breath, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me.”  Matt. 27:46. That is the look Trump had as he said he was happy to run for president because someone has to do it.  But why did it have to be him?  He was in a building he constructed in downtown New York to represent a life of success, where he had everything.  Especially a nice family.  Why was he doing all this, only to have a rigged system show that people did not have control over the election process?  And that anybody who stood against it, just as it had always been, would be destroyed.  Trump was being destroyed for running for president, and with these convictions, hundreds of years of jail time could be attached.  And the Republican Party sat around and watched it happen to him doing nothing to stop it.  They did not lift a hand, which they had the power to do, to help Trump in his hour of need. 

Many people have watched the passion plays of Christ and stated that they would have helped him.   But in the end, they all just stood around watching.  And they let the various governments, whether it was the political order regionally, or the Roman forces wholly, conduct the work they all secretly desired themselves.  Jesus was a threat to the order of things, and they killed him, picking the criminal Barabbas instead to roam among polite society.  People sat by and let Jesus be killed, and they didn’t help him, just as they have been doing with Trump.  Not that Trump and Jesus are equal in the scheme of things.  But their social footprint has the same resonance, and people have stood by and let all this happen to Trump because they didn’t want their static order disrupted by a dynamic influence that would bring with it the proper changes that society yearned for but did not dare to embrace.  And it was as if Trump realized all that as he stood in the atrium of Trump Tower almost a decade later and realized just what a menace resided behind the efforts of globalism and the deep roots of corruption it had in our political society in America.  Trump might be the most positioned person to do something about all that.  But he was essentially alone.  Republicans were not rallying to his cause to assist.  Society was doing what they did to Jesus and Socrates in the past, all the corrupt order of things to destroy him.  People might shed a tear.  But they weren’t going to risk themselves to help, that was for sure.  That doesn’t change anything I’ve said about Trump winning the election.  But it did show a level of evil that we are dealing with, one that has been with us since the beginning of time.  We are confronting it in 2024 in a grand way that has been on a resolution trajectory for thousands of years.  But I would also say that this time, it’s different.

The American Gastapo: Biden is the communist crime lord of a police state that must be defeated and dismantled

The only thing left lacking is that people are still in a state of disbelief that the political left is really that far gone and that they have control of so many of our institutions.  Many people, not most.  Most see it now, and perhaps when history views all this, they will realize all the whys and hows.  But of course, the FBI wanted a shootout with Trump’s team at Mar-a-Lago when they raided his home in Florida to confiscate documents the President had a right to have.  The acquisition of documents was just an excuse to provoke the President’s team into a gunfight, which Biden wanted.  So that charges could then be filed against Trump for an actual crime.  We’ve seen this game before at Ruby Ridge and Waco.  And other places.  It is how the FBI operates now under the control of the radical left, which we have seen in their coup attempts to remove Trump from office just because they didn’t want his administration picked by voters for a representative government.  The biggest threat to “democracy” is a corrupt police state, which we have.  And if you make yourself a political enemy of that communist takeover, they will come to your house and harass you into compliance.  And if you try to defend yourself according to the 4th, 5th, or 6th Amendments, you will find yourself in a shootout that can’t be won because the government has infinite resources to throw you out one way or another.  Your life will be ruined if they push the law far enough to provoke you into action. They can then honestly prosecute.  This is precisely what we saw happen under Janet Reno during the 90s under the Clinton administration.  That much worse was planned for President Trump. 

Biden’s people didn’t want to go through all this lawfare, in which an all but made-up guilty verdict was handed to the jury for one reason: to say that Trump is a felon.  They don’t care how reckless the case is; they don’t care if it is overturned on appeal.  They want the stigma of calling Trump a felon on television leading up to the 2024 election.  It’s all they have left as people have made it clear they don’t want Joe Biden.  The case against Trump in New York is all-in desperation from a very corrupt police state created by a radical Marxist movement from the political left to impose global communism on the United States against the wishes of voters.  It’s not like people are choosing any of this.  It is being imposed on them with a hostile takeover using brute force.  So yes, before there were any court cases, Biden’s DOJ wanted to eliminate their political rival in any way possible, using a raid of his home as the match to start the fire.  Luckily, Trump wasn’t there when the raid happened, but he looked pretty well prepared for it and handled it correctly, making it a public relations nightmare.  The FBI wasn’t ready for that, and it’s what I recommend everyone do while we still have the hope of a civil society.  If we live in a Mad Max world of the apocalypse, then sure, use force to subdue any attackers.  Be prepared for that day.  But don’t turn to it as if it were your only option.  There are a lot of other amendments that work very well in our Constitution, and you should use them to make fools out of the tyranny imposed by this modern left.  Make no mistake: these are not our friends but hostile agents of institutionalism.  And they do intend to kill to make their point.

Reports now show that Merrick Garland was prepared for a bloody firefight as they had a triage center alerted nearby for casualties.  So these guys are playing for keeps, and once the New York case goes nowhere for them, upon which all their hopes rest, the level of desperation will be tremendous.  The court that matters, the court of public opinion, which corrupt police state participants cannot control, is not with Biden’s communist rule, which we see all over the world as examples, such as China, Cuba, and even Russia.  In those countries, a political party is expected to put out hits against its rivals.  And that is what Biden is trying to do here in the United States, and the FBI has proven itself to be the American Gestapo.   That is the correct term for them, and they should be defunded entirely and replaced.  I have seen enough from them to know that they are corrupt, even down to the field agents, and they can’t be trusted with anything.  For me, that process started during the Christmas mass shooting in San Bernadino when the FBI didn’t want to call the act of violence a “terrorist act,” even though the shooters were a couple deeply involved in Islamic terrorist thought.  To contaminate the crime scene, the FBI allowed reporters into the apartment of the killed shooters only a few days after the attack in an apparent move to cloud the circumstances and change the narrative to a Christmas tragedy instead of what it was: a terrorist attack against the American way of life, specifically a Christian holiday.  The same could be said of Sirhan Sirhan, who killed Bobby Kennedy, the attorney general of his brother’s administration.  He was a Palestinian radical who found himself in a position to kill Kennedy.  But looking back, it seems like more of the work of the CIA and FBI than a politically motivated individual.  Sirhan Sirhan was a convenient cover story way too reminiscent of the October attack by paratrooping terrorists who assassinated Israel concert attendees ruthlessly and in cold blood just at a time when elections around the world were leaning toward populism.

We could do this for days and days; the evidence of the behavior is entirely conclusive and ominous.  The bottom line is that we can’t throw money at these losers and expect them to work on our behalf.  They are corrupt by the nature of all humans to head in that direction if left unsupervised with unlimited power.  And to keep power, the people propping up Biden as the modern version of a communist crime lord are using that power in any way possible to eliminate rivals.  And at this point, there is no question about what they did in the 2020 election and how many people they were prepared to kill to hold that power.  They would do anything, including raid Mar-a-Lago, the home of a former president, and attempt to assassinate him with the cameras rolling outside.  But to do it, they had to provoke him, and what they found when they got there was a person who played them better than the FBI was able to play.  Randy Weaver would have done better if he had not tried to have a shootout with the FBI to defend his rights.  It could be said to be justified because it was the FBI who was in the wrong.  It was the American government that was breaking the laws.  But how Trump has handled things is far better than a shootout where that same communist government can then control the narrative in the matter.  That is why Trump is still leading and winning the election race.  The New York case is the Biden White House’s last hope and support mechanism.  Because the hit job they intended in Mar-a-Lago got turned around on them in ways they weren’t prepared for.  Which is a new playbook for beating tyranny that should be studied carefully.  Because this fight is a long way from over.

It’s George Ratterman All Over Again: What the political left has lost, they have lost it forever

No matter how scary it might look, the truth of the matter came out in the Robert De Niro statement that he gave during the closing arguments during the Trump trial in New York, the Alvin Bragg case operating out of the White House in a meager attempt to keep Trump out of the presidential election.  The old rules aren’t working, and as I watched De Niro panic because of the heckling that was going on all around him by Trump supporters, you could tell that all these big lefties weren’t prepared for this world.  Yes, they are panicking, and as I said of the Biden administration, when the best card you have is De Niro, an actor who gets paid to say what other people think of, and this phony court case that will be overturned on appeals embarrassing all who instigated it, you have big problems.  The thing I thought of most was the George Ratterman case in Newport, Ohio, where the mob put knockout drops in his drink, placed him unconsciously in an uncompromising position with a stripper, and took pictures of him to turn the public against the famous Notre Dame quarterback who became sheriff.  People were wise to those old tricks and didn’t have the politeness of humiliation anymore.  And they were ready to fight it out in the streets with these Antifa thugs and any other malcontents that the radical left had in mind.  And when we say “leftists,” we are talking about supporters of the Karl Marx philosophy and other anti-American viewpoints.  Before Trump came along, the left was already losing its power of manipulation; the Obama administration did that.  Polite society told us that he was the first black president, and we had to prove that we weren’t racists by electing him.  In reality, Barack Obama was a product of the Weather Underground, specifically Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, the former cheerleader and graduate of Miami University.  And they were seeking to destroy America from the inside out. 

Books have been written about these observations, and after a few decades of the behavior, America is finally turning away from the mechanisms of evil that come from the radical left political mentality, and that is obvious in the continued support of President Trump.  What is really embarrassing is that the Democrats who represent Marxism in America by name have put so much into these cosmetic tricks.  Just as the mob did with Ratterman.  Through Saul Alinsky, the left had learned to copy mob tactics in their political crusades, most notably led by Hillary Clinton all through the 90s and up to the election of President Trump.  Suppose anybody wants to understand why Trump was elected in 2016. In that case, they need to look at the origin of this mobster mentality left over from Saul Alinsky’s study of Al Capone in Rules for Radicals.  Americans did not want their politics to resemble the mob, and they have been turning away from the left over the last three decades.  Even with the Biden administration putting their whole campaign on this legal case against Trump, to the public, it’s just George Ratterman all over again.  Or any number of similar victims who tried to do well against the organized crime elements of mass society and found themselves in some lawfare battle by captured assets, which Alvin Bragg certainly is connected to the Biden administration so intimately.  When the thuggish tricks no longer work, what will the mob do? I do mean mob because that’s what these government gangsters are.  Instead of regional collectivism organizing to make easy money off the innocent, these personalities moved into government to control their money flow nationally and even internationally.  But they are still thuggish mobsters.  No different than the losers who drugged George Ratterman and took uncompromising pictures of him with a stripper and expected the public to turn away from him.   They didn’t.  Instead, they rallied behind the Newport Sheriff just as people will do with Trump.

You can tell they know this now but have nothing else in the playbook.  What the political left had, they have now lost forever.  Any trust people might have given them is now gone due to their massive abuses of power.  This Biggs case in New York is just the latest.  But over time, the many lies they have told, the extortion, the thuggish bullying of good people, people are long over it.  The political left has lost the trust of the public, and they aren’t ever going to get it back.  For all the reasons that the mob had to go underground and lay low, the Democrats are going to have to do the same.  Only, as a public party that requires public support, there is no underground.  Marxism moved into America as an underground movement.  The Weather Underground by Ayers and Dohrn is just one example, and that they were able to commit terrorist activity and be promoted into polite society as teachers at universities instead of going to jail tells you how deeply the underground Marxist movement has been.  But under the Clintons in the 90s, those old communist radicals made their move, and they slid Obama under the door, for which Biden is a continuation of those policies, and this is their all-in political movement.  They moved from underground to mainstream, and they are now experiencing mass rejection.  That is their fault. 

The political left took their chance and tried to force people into a political sentiment of communism, and the economy has tanked, as we all said it would.  Now, they are experiencing massive rejection due to the continued support of President Trump.  People don’t want the world they are offering, just as the communists of East Berlin never understood why people wanted to run from their communist government.  Or the many migrants to Miami, Florida, who ran from the Castro of communism there.  Those same personalities are behind the Biden administration and support these court cases against Trump.  And people don’t like it.  And now that it’s all out in the open, the political left will never be able to put their movement back into an underground status.  People are ready to run them out of America, and they can only blame themselves.  That sentiment trajectory was well in place before there was ever a Trump.  They are lucky to have Trump because their alternatives are much worse.  But the lefties, like De Niro, can’t look themselves in the mirror and blame what looks back, so they don’t see the obvious.  The support of Trump is a rejection of them and their Marxist backing.  The world does not want Marxism internationally.  And the left is looking for someone to blame other than themselves.  But people don’t like to be pushed around and told what to do, which were lessons that should have been learned during the mob days before those personalities hid themselves behind government power.  They never learned their lessons, and now they are paying for them.  And what they’ve lost as to public trust is now gone forever.  De Niro and others panic because the writing is on the wall, just as Nebuchadnezzar saw.  Anger at the prophets of history won’t change the result.  And the political left is finally getting the payback that they long deserved.  And crying like a bunch of babies won’t preserve their power.  They have lost it for good.

Making The Noose Great Again: Punishing the bad guys with capital punishment

In reaction to many of the things I have been saying and predicting about our present society, people are strongly inclined toward Making America Great Again by Making the Noose Great Again.  The courts have been shown, which I would argue they never were properly working, to be only good for leftist Marxist ideology.  Frontier justice, where hanging for crimes committed against a community, gave people a level of satisfaction that satisfied communities, and their work toward a justice-driven society is being yearned for.  Even though we may look back upon Western expansion with reverence and ideas of romance, in living freely, there were a lot of problems that are much better in our present conditions.  We don’t have to worry about Indian attacks or picking up unknown diseases every few feet.  Our lifespan today is much longer than they used to be.  We have considered that we are much more sophisticated now than when capital punishment was as common as a sunset.  But, the general feeling is that people behave concerning each other if something they might do might come across as an offense that could lead to their untimely death.  If a criminal was caught before Western expansion had traveling judges to enact law and order, hanging the bad guys, happened all the time.  And without it, there would have been no ability to have a growing society.  When people talk about the evils of Western expansion, again, it’s the political left, the same losers who are behind pornography, international financing, abortion, pot smoke, and welfare programs who were against it and think the Indians should still be in charge of a teepee and dancing in some field to make it rain.  Much of what they have brought the world through the pages of Karl Marx has been ridiculously stupid, and people are slowly admitting to just how bad it has been.  And they are ready to make some changes.

I’ve been to court many times and have known many lawyers and judges.  I want to like them.  I like the idea of a courtroom to be respected.  I love our various state and federal constitutions and think a law-and-order society is the only way. Strict enforcement of the law is how you protect the kinds of values that make a society work.  But, and this is a big butt, a suburban mom who votes for tax levies for corrupt leftist government schools big, we were a better society when we had dueling.  I think of Alexander Hamilton’s duel with Aaron Burr and the many duels that President Andrew Jackson had over his lifetime; we were a much more respectful society when bad behavior was called out to satisfaction and carried out with seconds there to represent the effort.  If people hadn’t worked out their differences before one of them ended up dead, they may have ended up friends for life.  That was a much better way to solve conflicts than what we have now, where crimes are punted to the state, and the state processes their punishment through the legal system.  The state, what happens to most things the government touches, messes everything up, and the only people who benefit are the state in confiscating wealth and redistributing it to people who don’t deserve it.  The courts and their lawyers make all the money off conflict resolution.  Then, the worst thing that can happen to a criminal is they are locked up in prison, which then makes them parasites on society for that duration.  Someone has to feed them, and the general hope is that they might be reformed and let out to inflict crime in the future.  That is the best that our court systems are offering us.  And even that is a rare occurrence. 

These people have no idea how much anger is coming in their direction, for what they have been doing to us for years. De Niro has no idea how much the game has changed.

Most of the time, court cases drag out too long, and it’s always the wrong people getting punished.  These days, as we have seen with President Trump and many others, the courts have been weaponized.  Two local cases in my community, the Darbi Boddy school board case at Lakota and the Roger Reynolds case, were clear examples of a weaponized court system that had nothing to do with justice but political power intent to rob voters of their picks for political office.  It was utterly corrupt, and lawyers were the only people who benefited from those cases.  Replacing gun battles with foes with pinheaded lawyers arguing with words, and not bullets, has turned out to be stupid.  And the bad guys know it.  There is nothing about our present system that inspires people to behave themselves.  So why not rape that innocent person?  Or steal from a family and their efforts at hard work?  Why not be a louse, a drug addict, or an abuser of alcohol?  What in our society inspires people not to be losers, criminals, and leeches off society?  The answer is nothing.  The works of Karl Marx from the early 1850s on, and spread through Masonic orders all over Europe and America, have not been satisfactory, and people have given it a chance and have been left wanting.  We are not a better world because of our courts and a lack of capital punishment.  We have empowered the criminal-minded to abuse innocent people in the pursuit of some great society as the radical left envisioned it.  And we have been left with a society of disaster. 

As I have said many times, I have traveled extensively, and one thing that I do while traveling is pick up books from those areas to read.  While traveling in my RV, I commonly get up before anybody else and read outside in the portable office, which travels with me everywhere I go.  I have read many books from exotic places like Deadwood, South Dakota, Jackson Hole, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Texas—everywhere, about law and order and the attempts during Western expansion to solve these problems.  The conclusion is that society was worse under court systems than frontier justice.  Once the criminals realized they could hide their acts of villainy behind bureaucratic courts and their processes of pinheaded lawyers and corrupt judges, there was nothing to fear from society, so they performed more crimes as a result.  At least with this Marxist-inspired court system, they were promised a free meal every day and didn’t have to work in society to get it.  Once we stopped hanging people for crimes in our communities and shooting them to defend private property, the criminals started to run our society which is a massive problem to this very day.  And people are beginning to admit how unhappy they are about it.  Crime thrives in a society where courts get in the way of justice and where the courts are used as weapons, which is happening now in our daily news.  A better way to handle many of these cases would be through capital punishment. Nobody wants to see innocent people killed and hung for crimes they didn’t do.  But the fear of getting caught doing something wrong kept a lot of criminals from crossing the line, and we became a much better society.  As people think about it, Making the Noose Great Again makes a lot of sense.

The Lords of Phony Money: A Dow Jones at over 40,000 is due to inflation, not actual wealth

It’s by logic more than choice that we have to look toward mobster activity as the playbook for modern tyranny.   It’s not just governments that get away from us that is the concern, which has happened.  However, the genuine concern is the behavior of organized crime and their ability to get away with making easy money at the expense of social peace.  People who are lazy but want to maximize their income through force seek collective associations, whether in unionized labor, elected office, or outright theft.  And this is a problem in any society, especially communism, where the government behaves like any organized crime family.  Only there isn’t a free society to dispute the actions.  In a free society, we can at least talk about it, which is what we do in the United States.  But organized crime goes back to when primitives conspired to bring down a woolly mammoth during a big game hunt for food.  When people realized they could work together to make labor more accessible, they naturally would head in that direction, no matter the endeavor.  Criminal thugs developed during Western expansion to rob trains and banks.  When the government became extensive and organized and started making rules people didn’t want, organized crime formed to meet the public demand at the expense of proper government, as a rival crime family, and the mobsters as we traditionally think of them were born.  But then, progressive society wanted a one-stop shop that would muscle out the crime families as Lords of Easy Money.  Of course, they had good intentions, but who could resist the temptation of money manipulation to satisfy the whims of the wicked and lazy?  And in that case, with an extensive criminal syndicate operating without the scrutiny of a free society, the illusions of power have become quite ostentatious.  And we see the level of corruption that is our present problem. 

Specifically, we’re talking about the money supply, and this is something that too many people, like pornography, enjoy the benefits of to criticize it properly.  However, this current scam of the Dow Jones closing at 40,000 is not good.  It’s a long series of mistakes and lousy policies catching up with us and being sold as a benefit when, in reality, it’s a massive crime no different than a classic bank robbery.  The government is playing the role of Jesse James and the gang of bank robbing barrons.  We shouldn’t expect the government to be anything less than an organized crime syndicate of collective-based losers seeking the easiest path to money and security through force as possible.  It’s human nature.  But here’s the gig on the Dow Jones, the 40,000 number that is preparing to break all records since the Dow opened first in 1885.  It’s an inflationary number propped up by an out-of-control money supply where too much money is chasing too few goods.  So it’s a record indicating a big problem, not an excellent report for everyone concerned about their 401Ks.  It’s like those classic bank robbers who break in and steal all the real money in gold and other assets, then leave behind a bunch of phony funds for the bank to give out to the public to keep them off the trail of the actual theft, and it’s a grave matter.  When Biden tries to claim credit for such a massive theft, done because of organized crime that moved from the local syndicates into the halls of government to commit just these kinds of crimes, he thinks he is throwing us off the trail of the truth. 

The Federal Reserve wasn’t a bad idea when it was first proposed in 1913, but under the best of conditions, it would require diligent management, and that just has not been the case.  The government learned it could print phony money with quantitative easing and apply that to a progressive Modern Monetary Theory, which is essentially the same as the transgender movement of claiming a man and a woman can be whatever sex they want any time they want to.  Modern Monetary Theory believes in debt maintenance by over-saturating the money supply by a government that doesn’t have to live by any rules but can make them up as they go.  This led to this crisis in 2008 with the too-big to fail in Housing that, failed.  So the Fed under Obama pumped a lot of fake money into the system and washed it like the crime families from the mob always did, through legitimate businesses, and pumped all that mess into the local economy.  In this case, the Fed printed a lot of money and dropped it into Wall Street to clean up, which was the role that Larry Fink, the political activist turned money manager for BlackRock, played.  And poof, just like that, a lot of money flowed into our economy, made up essentially on the back of a napkin and distributed as truthful.  But that game only works so long, as inflation is the direct result.  When President Trump took office in January 2017, the Dow was at 19,000 and had been going up since 2015, when it started to become evident that he might become president after years of stalled economic growth by the socialist actions of Obama’s administration.  The prospect of Trump did inspire a legitimate money movement in a positive direction.  But the number of 19,000 itself was phony as a carnival game on a hot July state fair. 

This is how BlackRock, Blackstone, Vanguard, and the rest of these popular money managers have gained so much power that they are buying up many companies with that phony money.  It’s a communist plan to make all property state-run, and this is one way that the organized crime elements of government-run enterprises can inflict a political philosophy into the money supply.  And don’t forget, Janet Yellen is Biden’s advisor on these things, and she is undoubtedly a communist sympathizer from the radical left.  She ran the Federal Reserve for a while and is a member of the World Economic Forum, behind the Covid release and centralized planning for a great reset.  This is all inconvenient to know, just as the porn hustling mobsters used to do behind the 22-year-old topless stripper in a peep show plaza.  People don’t want to think about why she is there and are putting twenty dollar bills in her G-string.  They want to enjoy the sights and sounds of sexual temptation.  Just as they want to believe that their 401K plans are making them a lot of money, but it’s all phony money, run by the Lords of Phony Money, the Fed, and its ties to globalism through international banking.  They have stolen real wealth and left us with fake bank notes and a fake economy propped up by a government that has fallen to the temptations of organized crime.  And to hide their efforts, they hope that full 401K accounts will keep the anger of pitchforks from coming after them until after this next election.  So before you get too excited about any economic news coming from government reporting, you must understand that the game is a crime and they are trying to get away with it.  Not profitability from the stock market participants.  The Lords of Easy Money have been hard at work robbing our wealth from our monetary system. They are not making it better.  And eventually, it’s all going to catch up to them.  Which, to my eyes, has already happened.

The War on Porn and the Hustler Store in Monroe, Ohio: How the political left lied about sex and sophistication–and economic development

Yes, they lied to you when they said that sex peddling was a victimless crime.  When the great argument between Simon Leis and Larry Flint in Cincinnati, Ohio, over smut in the country’s cleanest city became the talk of the world in the 1970s, the crazed owner of Hustler would go to jail for his industry of indecency.  The political left has always tried to use sex as a free speech topic, just as they are doing with pot and transgender issues now.  The radical sex education that we are now seeing in public schools started a long time ago, and the more we let them get away with it, the more they kept coming.  We ended up with a Hustler of Hollywood store in Butler County, Ohio, right down the road from my house.  Larry Flint wanted revenge for all that happened to him as he was prosecuted by Leis and driven in the media over the edge of existence by Charlie Keating.  Flint would do then as he did with President Trump and put out a bounty for any dirt he could get on political figures who stood against him.  And in the case of Keating, he put out publicly, with free speech, a bounty for the rape of Keating’s daughter, which occurred on April 12th, 1977, in Burnet Woods on the University of Cincinnati campus.  I had a front-row seat to all of it, and I remember why Flint said he wanted to put that Hustler of Hollywood at our Butler County Monroe exit.  It was to attack the morality of Cincinnati that they couldn’t stop the porn advocates under the banner of using the First Amendment to undermine our entire society.  And when people traveled down I-75 from the north into the Cincinnati city limits, the first thing they would see was a porn shop run by Larry Flint, which is still standing.

But the story doesn’t end there.  What many people don’t know is that the mob bankrolled Larry Flint, the same crime families that had been running the sex shops and strip clubs in Newport, Ohio, and Covington across the river from Cincinnati.  I have talked about my employment by the mob before, from restaurants on Chester Rd in Sharonville to Mike Fink’s on the river of Ohio, and I can say that even in the 80s, the mob was still very active in cleaning their crime money through legitimate businesses.  The smut business was an easy cover for their other crimes because it attracted the attention of the public.  The FBI was in on the game, too; over time, the mobs became tired of running from the FBI, so they became the leaders, and it all went back to the first top cop, J. Edger Hoover, Bobby Kennedy, and the Beverly Hills Supper Club.  But what kept everyone from digging into the blood-soaked streets that might scare away convention businesses across the river in Cincinnati was that people like Larry Flint were valuable distractions so the mobs could operate without fear of prosecution.   It was just another form of a Cloward and Piven strategy that we see now happening on such a grand scale.  That’s because they learned it from the mobs in Cincinnati and the battles with Larry Flint during the early 70s, 80s, and 90s.  But as Clinton was in the White House, the smut kings felt untouchable.  The internet was coming along but was not yet the free porn provider that it is now, so another business moved in next to the Hustler property in Monroe with the same kind of intentions.  It was Bristol’s topless strip club that was right in the heart of Butler County, off the highway, and became an embarrassment that still permeates to this day. 

From around the mid-1990s until 2010, Bristol’s was a little strip club intent on destroying community values in one of the most family-friendly areas of the entire state, and it was an attack.  I knew many people who went there, and I knew people who worked there.  So, I know pretty explicitly what went on.  In the back of the place, there was a sizeable outside playground where clothing was optional, and anybody could play volleyball with topless young girls.  The place was a major blight on our community in Butler County, and it all started with Larry Flint wanting to desecrate the Cincinnati area’s family values purposely.  But even more so, behind all that was organized crime using porn and compromised men to control them politically.  Because who in their right mind could resist the temptation of 22-year-old girls and their boobies?  Not many, and to this day, most people drive by that location and pretend it’s not there.  Because they are ashamed of what they did there, and they’d love to forget about it; these days, with the government learning from the mob how to control mass populations with porn, it’s free and easy to get on the internet.  But that is another story of destruction that we haven’t yet dealt with.  But when we drive by the Hustler Store in Monroe, Ohio, it’s doing what Larry Flint wanted to do, and that reminds everyone that he was in charge because he was the provider of the forbidden fruit human beings couldn’t resist.  And ultimately, he could control society through their vices.  That’s why the mobsters put Larry Flint up as their front guy.  And he did his job well for them. 

By 2018, the Bristol property had closed and was torn down.  Despite being one of the country’s hottest commercial real estate properties, it remains empty.  Every time I look at it, I think it would be an excellent location for a Love’s Travel Center.  I have been everywhere in the country, and few highways stops are as great as that one in Monroe.  I think I have been to every exit up and down I-75 from Michigan to Florida, I-71, and many along I-70, I-80, and I-90.  And the old Bristol property next to the Hustler of Hollywood location is enormous.  There has been talk of a car dealership moving into the site, but there has not been much activity.  Why? Because it’s a scar from the past when strippers compromised many Butler County men away from their wives and families.  Most people now stop by that highway access port and avoid looking in that direction to avoid shame.  And that is the price of smut on economic activity.  What the political left sold as sophisticated free speech was just a mobster’s position of hiding their crime syndicates with vice and immorality.  And you always end up with a society that has fallen from grace and is empty of resolve, which ends up in a degraded state.  People like Larry Flint were purposefully evil and looking to turn the American Constitution on its head for the destruction of our country and to desecrate anybody who might try to save it from people like him.  And to this day, the effects of that war are still constant reminders of what happened in Monroe, Ohio.  Instead of being a thriving place, which Monroe deserves, it has a haze of guilt over it that makes it come across as just another truck stop exit catering to the needs of lonely truckers and their dirty need for unregulated sex.  And it’s messy, and Larry Flint stuck his sign of smut in the ground for us to forever see.  And he laughed at us as he did it while many men who might have stood against it snuck away from their homes to enjoy the temptations of misspent youth playing nude volleyball within view of the southbound ramp to I-75.  And there was nothing any moralist could do about it because it was a legally protected operation.  The mob had moved into the government, and before anybody could dig too deep, most people were compromised and could not stop it.  These guys played for keeps, and we have the kind of government we do today, primarily because of those efforts by Larry Flint and his Hustler enterprise.  There were a lot of casualties in that smut war, and the guilt of that war is still very much alive and well by the lack of good development at that Hustler site, which continues to hold back economic growth in Butler County that otherwise would have thrived.  Which, of course, answers the question about morality and economic activity.  The political left indeed lied, just as the Bible said they would.  But only too late did anybody realize just how much.

Oh, sure, we’ve all heard it before.  Mind your own business.  Don’t stick your nose of morality into my life.  It’s all about free speech and freedom of choice.  Well, I care about my community, and the decisions of these smut peddlers have lowered the value of property in my community, and I have always taken it personally.  As a legal premise, there is no legal “greater good” over “individual value.”  There is case law that leans away from individual value and favors the greater good, but those arguments are rooted in interpretive mistakes.  Because the same kind of thing is going to happen with pot legalization.  There are consequences for bad decisions, and porn was always a bad decision.  And we can see the results of that bad decision at that Monroe exit.  Sure, people own the property and have a right to do what they want with it.  Until they impact the lives of other people, which is what that history of porn in Monroe has left us all tarnished with.  And is a lesson we should all be learning from and applying to legislation and zoning in the future.

Foreign Money in Ohio, The Rest of the Story: Why Governor DeWine wants Joe Biden on the Ohio ballot

Why would Governor DeWine push to get Joe Biden on the ballot in Ohio?  Why would Republicans again work to help out their political rivals while the other side is willing to cheat, steal, manipulate, and put in jail any of us?  When I first heard about DeWine calling a special session of the House in Ohio to resolve this matter, my first thought was, “No wonder we lose all the time as Republicans.”  And this isn’t the first time DeWine would let me down, acting more like a Democrat than a Republican.  I’m not a fan of Mike DeWine or any of the DeWines, for that matter, even in the Supreme Court in Ohio.  They are way too liberal for me.  But as the media was going crazy with the irony, I was getting more to the story from many people coming straight out of Columbus.  As I learned more, the smoke started to clear, and I found that this is a position in which I support DeWine.  We want Joe Biden to appear on the Ohio ballot for several reasons.  One big one is that Bernie Moreno and J.D. Vance want it because they don’t want to frustrate any Democrat turnout that will turn in their direction.  Bernie has a tough race with Sharrod Brown for the Senate, and Brown is a deeply entrenched political target.  But in hindsight of this upcoming election, none of us want Democrats to claim they lost to some technicality.  So we don’t want to be desperate and hope to win because not enough Democrats showed up. Instead, we want to win over Democrats and tip support in Republican favor because they think, J.D. Vance and Bernie Moreno, need all the turnout they can get to win over Brown. 

Yet, it’s more than that; it’s the essence of this endeavor.  There is still the problem that is quite extensive regarding the Issue 1 loss in August of 2023, where too late, lawmakers noticed that powerful foreign money was coming into Ohio to pass pot legalization with loose abortion laws in the wake of recent Supreme Court rulings, specifically regarding Roe v. Wade.  Once the Supreme Court finally did the obvious, and that is rule that only the states can regulate abortion, then Ohio became one of the prime targets because Constitutional amendments only required a 50+1 vote.  So, Issue 1 in August of 2023 was supposed to pass in a low-turnout election to protect Ohio’s Constitution with a 60-vote threshold.  But it failed, and that led to abortion and pot passing in November of 2023, which has fed the progressive anti-American destruction efforts of globalists and domestic cut-throats infinitely.  Meanwhile, still mending from a House coup that took out a Speaker of the House who would be much more supportive of an America First agenda. Instead, Speaker Jason Stephens was put in place with Democrats and RINOs to soften the Republican agenda in Columbus and essentially erode any leverage the GOP had with their majority.  It was a matter of some filthy politics, and locally, in Southern Ohio, Sara Carruthers got caught up in the mess as a part of the coup to put in place a more “Democrat” friendly Speaker.  And it cost her in the primary for 2024.  She will lose her seat this year because of her affiliation with Democrats.  Instead, it’s going to be Diane Mullins who will face off against the Democrat Vanessa Cummings in the November election for that Representative seat.  In Butler County, the GOP censured Sara because of her role in putting in place Speaker Stephens, a known RINO.  It cost her the party endorsement, which then went to Diane.  Are you following along, dear reader? This is not the kind of stuff you get from the newspapers anymore, if ever, or the radio.  But this comes straight from the halls of the Statehouse, a building I often say is much loftier and nobler than the people in it, but the effort is worth the consideration.

Republicans this time around are looking at their options, and they can make Biden getting on the ballot much easier for him, but they want something in return.  A few bills in the Senate, S.B. 215, have sought to deal with the foreign money problem that defeated Issue 1 with the amendment threshold and allowed so much foreign money to backdoor our political process for destructive purposes and make a deal with Democrats.  The House has a similar bill that is much more active at the moment, H.B. 114, which has been through the House, went to the Senate, and is now back in the House for a concurrence vote.  And that is where the impasse is, which Governor DeWine is well aware of and wants to break loose.  But, people like Sara Carruthers and her RINO-supported Speaker, Stephens, want to keep that foreign money flowing because there are a lot of corrupt politicians who feed off it for their sustenance.  And they don’t want to take it out of Ohio.  DeWine can afford moral clarity on this as he is in the final years of his second term.  So it’s no skin off his back, and the direction of politics is headed more in this kind of MAGA direction anyway.  Democrats have something they want from Republicans: they want Joe Biden on the ballot.  So, Republicans are looking to get foreign money out of the state for future elections.  And that’s where the impasse is. 

No matter what happens, Joe Biden will be on the ballot.  Republicans don’t want to win like Democrats are trying to do with Trump, and that is win in the courts and in a game of keep away.  When you beat someone, you should beat them fairly and squarely, leaving little doubt in the aftermath.  So, Republicans are playing this issue with H.B. 114 very well.  And on May 28th, 2024, DeWine is looking to push the issue toward resolution.  Likely, people like Sara Carruthers will vote to keep foreign money flowing into Ohio because, without it, all the progressive invasions will lose their funding and stall out.  But progressives know what they want to do, and Sara has proven she is one of them, which is how we ended up with Speaker Stephens, a Republican in Name Only—a (RINO).  Many of them would never get elected any other way, and once they are in office, they love access to all that foreign money, so they will fight to preserve it, which is why the issue has stalled out among the Representatives.  They’d rather play dirty tricks to keep the money flowing than make a deal to get their guy, Biden, on the ballot in Ohio.  But yes, DeWine is on the right side of this one, and so are many other Republicans looking to do the right thing in 2024 to beat Democrats fairly and squarely.  In the case of Bernie Moreno, to win Democrats over to Republican votes on the back of a strong Trump ticket that will help all the down ballots, the priority is voter turnout.  This happens best when you get voter representation that is fully engaged and pushes out the foreign influence and soft-shelled RINOs who work with the Democrats to undermine our system of government.  And that is, as Paul Harvey used to say……………..” the rest of the story.”

Just How Good is Don Jr.: Don’t be surprised to see the campaign signs for 2024 saying “TRUMP/TRUMP”

Not that he needs to hear it, but one of the big topics I talk about in my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, is the concept of “ghosting.”  If you are valuable, do you need other people to know it?  It would be best if you were secure enough in yourself to be good at what you do, whether or not you get recognition for it.  And that is undoubtedly the kind of person Don Jr. is.  I don’t think he gets enough credit for just how good of a patriot he is, and how history will remember him.  His dad soaks up all the headlines, naturally.  But I’ve seen enough out of Don Jr. now to know that he’s doing the things he is for all the right reasons.  And he is certainly secure enough in himself to not be the headliner.  Donald Trump Jr. does things because they need to be done by somebody, and I would argue that without him, his dad, President Trump, probably wouldn’t be able to do what he has been doing.  But for the sake of fairness, I see it.  And so do many others.  When all the smoke clears from these turbulent times, and history is trying to figure out what happened, I think Don Jr.’s name will be one we talk about for many years to come, and how important he was to helping to make things right.  It would not surprise me at all if Don Jr. ends up being the VP pick because as I have said from the beginning.  It’s not enough to win in 2024.  We have to set up 2028 and 2032.  There are horrendous forces out there in the world who want us all dead so we have to get control of our government so it can do the job we need it to do.  And Don Jr. is in this game for keeps at this point.  And he would be perfect to take over and finish what his dad has started.  Don’t be surprised if the campaign signs for 2024 end up being TRUMP/Trump. 

I’ve had a chance to meet and see Don Jr. in person several times now, the latest at Lori’s Roadhouse in West Chester as he was campaigning for Bernie Moreno.  He is very good at what he does and interacting with the public.  But what’s missing from him is the usual pretentiousness of a person born with a silver spoon in their mouth.  Recently, a bunch of knuckle-dragging slugs questioned my judgment, asking me why I thought a person in the business world was worth as much as I said they were.  I didn’t talk about the many businesses this person had started and made much money at.  I didn’t talk about the many community affiliations they were members of.  I didn’t talk about the kind of car he drove or the size of his house.  I replied that he had raised eight children into adulthood, all good kids.  That was the most valuable thing he had done, which was why he succeeded.  You can’t cheat being a good person.  You have to be one.  And you can say the same about all of Trump’s kids.  I’ve met them all at some point, except for Tiffany and Barron.  But what you don’t see coming from Trump, even with all the marriages to different women, is him producing slack-jawed hippie slugs.  A lot of people these days follow the social mandates in parenting much to their detriment.  Don Jr. is undoubtedly his own person, but you know what, he’s a good person, sincerely.   And the MAGA movement is much better because he’s in it. 

Look at Joe Biden’s kids; they are all messes because their father was an idiot.  Many people look at their kids and blame their failures on something that the kids did.  But if you have crappy, no-good kids, it’s likely, (primarily likely,) that they are terrible because you did a lousy job as a parent.  That doesn’t mean that you have to be a perfect person.  Trump would never claim to be an ideal person.  But if you care and work healthily with kids, teaching them right from wrong, they can grow up and be fantastic, as Don Jr. is.  His brothers and sisters are, too, and Eric and Eric’s wife Lara are just wonderful people who are working hard to make the Republican Party better than it was.  And the public does not see much of what they have been doing.  There is very little pretentiousness in any of them.  You don’t hear from any of the Trump kids, “Do you know who I am?”  They show up at places and do the work year after year and have built an excellent network supporting their father, the frontman.  But when President Trump isn’t doing it anymore and finally retires, those kids’ work will resonate well into the future.  And I feel they will always be involved in politics because they want to Make America Great Again, whether in front of or hidden like ghosts in the pages of history.

Don Jr. could be doing a lot of things with his life.  But he spends almost every hour of his day making America Great Again.  I catch him doing his podcast and giving interviews on other podcasts throughout the week at all hours of the day because his heart is really in it.  He’s not hoping to get his dad into the White House so he can become “richer.”  The good thing about the Trump family is that they have already tasted success in life.  Daddy Trump prepared his kids for life on top of the social pyramid, and they didn’t lose themselves the way so many other children of successful people did.  When success is the focus, not the family, it ends up screwing up the kids.  But when you are sincere in what you do, and success is the byproduct, the kids learn the right things along the way and can handle it.  And because of the way that President Trump raised his kids, we are fighting to save America today in ways that wouldn’t otherwise happen.  Don Jr. has quite a cast of characters working in the background while his dad draws all the cover fire.  And it’s not lost on me just how vital those background characters are to the future.  Democrats do not have such a network of characters.  They are hanging onto the past, while the Republican Party has all the new growth.  And a lot of that new growth can be attributed to Don Jr.  President Trump didn’t just roll out of bed and have all this great network of support that has pulled together in such a healthy way as we are seeing.  The most significant trait of a leader is to do as Don Jr. has done.  Whether or not you get the social credit for the action is irrelevant.  Who cares what some dumb fool thinks of you?  The question that must always be answered is, did you do what you did because it was right?  And Don Jr. can always say yes.  And his father taught his kids the difference, which good parents tend to.  But when kids go wrong, as Joe Biden and his kind often do, there is always a good reason.  It’s not a mystery.  It’s because they were terrible people.  And bad people make bad kids.  You can never cheat the results of a child who spends so much time with you in their life.  You can’t hide it from them if you suck.  When you look at Don Jr. and meet him, you learn a lot about how good his dad was.  And you naturally want America to have the same opportunity.  The ghost is always the most powerful position on the chessboard.  We play the pieces.  But the ghost plays the game.
