Darbi Boddy Protects Lakota from Trans Activism: What is really going on in the classrooms that would shock parents

At this point, the constant barrage of anti-Darby Boddy sentiment at Lakota schools is laughable. At the school board meeting on 4.17.23, the second-year school board member, who has been the center of controversy, proposed the board vote on banning transgender bathrooms and athletes at Lakota schools, and the reaction was predictably hostile. School board members Kelly Casper and Julie Shaffer, who have supported transgender bathrooms in the past, were openly hostile toward Darbi for even bringing it up. And the rest of the board noticeably leaned left on the issue, leaving Darbi in a 4-to-1-squabble over an obvious problem. Of course, the media picked up the story and attempted to sling it negatively toward Darbi Boddy, as they have for the entire last year.   But the real problem on the board, just as it is with their grasp of financial concepts, is that the Lakota school board cares much more about its public image than the actual quality of the school. And I have news for them. They can play keep away with the facts all they want, but the reality is that eventually some version of the Backpack Bill will pass in Ohio and the money will go away from the school and will follow the kids. Public schools as we know it will change forever; it’s an inevitable fate. And only one of the school board members at Lakota, Darbi Boddy, is trying to prepare for that inevitability by asking questions that will eventually make Lakota schools more competitive. When the community brings issues to the school board, their reaction has been to hide and keep away from the facts, trying to limit public expression at extreme measures to hide the actual problems from themselves.

For instance, there has been talk for several years now, going back to the previous board president, where Lakota spent much of its excess budget on woke administrators to fill positions like equity inclusion and other ridiculous progressive government roles. The school board attempts to say that they are not a political body of administration and that everything they do is “for the kids.” And anyone who questions that premise they berate like a bunch of thugs robbing a Walmart in Chicago, as if the potential for violence and name-calling might hide the reality of their true intentions, which is extreme political activism, such as is the case with gender-neutral bathrooms in a public school, which Julie Shaffer has undoubtedly supported in the past, who is now up for re-election this year. But like in the case of Kelly Casper, who was openly very rude to Darbi Boddy during the Monday school board meeting, she has been pressing the issue that Lakota has cut all the meat off the bone that they could, so why couldn’t Lakota get more state money to cover their costs. Lakota has too many administrators who perform woke, purely political tasks. Every administrator Lakota hires toward woke causes costs around $100,000 yearly after salary and benefits. Then obviously, ten useless administrators will add a million dollars to the payroll. The question then becomes, how many useless administrators are there at Lakota schools? Around 30%? That is the financial problem at Lakota. It’s a spending problem by big government hacks, not an actual budget problem that requires more state revenue. Lakota needs to go the other way on their cost structure for the eventual day when a Backpack Bill in favor of School Choice passes, and Lakota will become an option instead of a zip code-mandated limit. 

Then in that regard, Darbi is asking all the right questions. Darbi wants to show the voting public that Lakota is taking a stand against transgender activism because that is something that people with kids are concerned about, and if Lakota makes that stand now, they might want to send their kids to Lakota still later. Transgender issues are in the news, so now is the time for Lakota to state its position to ease parents’ minds. But the other board members dug in and lashed out at Darbi for even bringing up the question, with big spender Kelly Casper calling Darbi on stage a “petulant 2-year-old,” obviously trying to score points with the radical teacher union base she most represents. But behind the entire meeting was anger that Darbi even brought up the issue because the board, just as they had done over their superintendent antics, where there were reports of alarming activity that they ignored which drove the need for a public position, and they wanted to pretend as if there was no merit behind Darbi’s vote recommendation. As if reporting any of this transgender activity to the acting superintendent might actually result in action, which we all know by now, it will be ignored because it might damage the school’s reputation. Yet, parents are concerned; I received information that can be seen here from a kid in the 6th grade at VanGorden Elementary at Lakota who brought home the book Gracefully Grayson by Ami Polonsky. That book was given to the child in school, and they brought it home for their parents to discover, and it is all about a boy who feels like a girl, so he takes the journey to become one. It clearly says on the back of the book, “What if who you are on the outside doesn’t match who you are on the inside?” This is what is being taught in Lakota schools, and the school board should be aware of it. According to them, they aren’t aware, which shows how out of touch they are with reality. Only Darbi Boddy is trying to do anything about it. Darbi is right; we need a new board built around people like her because the rest are part of the political problem and spending disasters. 

But even worse than all that, all this transgender talk is technically a religious issue. It’s not just a political platform for liberal politics. The same people advocating for transgender bathrooms and student-athletes are the same who would say that the Cross of Christ or Bible studies in any public school would be a violation of church and state. Yet it’s perfectly ok to plaster the walls of Lakota with rainbows and Pride paraphernalia to show equity inclusion. But the trans movement is religious; it’s the Cult of Ishtar, which is a thing of its own. Where religion becomes part of a political movement, which trans rights clearly are. If a school is going to allow for rainbow representations of a sexual lifestyle in the Pride movement, then they must also enable open displays of the Ten Commandments and the Cross on the walls. You can’t have one without the other. But the instances are that one is allowed, but the other isn’t, and that is indeed the core problem we are dealing with at all public schools. We are supposed to accept that transgender issues are a moral mandate while other religious practices are rejected as a separation of Church and State, which is reprehensible. And the Lakota school board, except for Darbi Boddy, wants to ignore this massive problem just to protect their ability to get more tax money from the public in the future because they waste so much money they have no other management option based on the politics of the system itself. And to that point, only Darbi Boddy has been willing to tackle the problems at Lakota to make it a more viable destination for the education dollar spent. The rest just hope the problem will disappear, especially if they ignore the evidence, which is ridiculously complicit in progressive politics that is the foundation of everything that goes on in public education.

The Cult of Moloch: Why Government, and specifically Democrats, think the Killing of Children is Beneficial

A lot of people do not make the connection that the ancient Gods of Mesopotamia are emerging again in our current culture or that through quantum entanglement, they never went away, but they have only become increasingly evident the more that Americans have allowed Christianity to be pushed out of our culture. Forget for a moment that the communists that have inserted themselves in our government since the 90s, and even earlier, are godless heathens. I’m old enough to have a reference point; I remember when the PG13 rating system for movies was implemented and when it was hard to see naked pictures of women for teenagers wanting to see them. We are seeing nothing more than a return to pagan God worship, just as cultures have done for tens of thousands of years. That is the theme of a Jonathan Cahn book called The Return of the Gods that is very much worth great attention because his premise is good. That many of the evils we are currently seeing are the results of the same spiritual energy that the people of Babylon and ancient Canaan were experiencing in the classic struggle between Yahweh and the God Baal as expressed in the Bible, and one of those gods was the controversial God Marduk, or otherwise referred to by Cahn as Moloch as the ancient Canaanites called him. Anti-Bible, anti-Christian crusaders even up until this current day in the disputes over Israel and its creation after World War II have argued that the people of Israel never had a right to invade the land of Canaan and take it over as the promised land. But to Yahweh’s hot temper against the immoral behavior of the ancient Canaanites, the people there were practicing human sacrifice, specifically of their children to the God of destruction himself, Molock, and that justified their destruction by the invading Israelites and the domination of the chosen people of the region out of the sheer morality of the action. 

The people of the time would sacrifice their first-born child, or whatever offspring they had to the ancient gods of the Middle East, for which there was a very long history well before Moses rescued his people from enslavement in Egypt. Archaeology and institutionalism by governments have not done a very good job of discovering much beyond the relics of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Indus Valley bordering India and the Middle East in the current war-torn region of Afghanistan and Pakistan, Iran, and Iraq. I would go so far as to propose that the purpose of those wars by governments is to keep hidden this deep and dark past from the eyes of modern intellect. The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem was sacred long before Abraham went there to sacrifice his son Isaac to Yahweh, as was the custom in that region long before, to Moloch. We think of ourselves as sophisticated and enjoying the benefits of modern approaches to ancient problems, but still in the back of our minds is the need or temptation to take the easy way out and sacrifice our children to these same gods. That level of evil never went away; it’s wired into us, and the less we recognize ourselves as a Christian nation, the more we push God out of our lives as the shining city on a hill, and the more the ancient gods from Mesopotamia who the morality of Yahweh had drowned out, re-emerge back into our culture. That those sacrifices of children occurred is no doubt, the deaths were common. And the hope was that by killing the children, the gods would benefit the killers in some way, whether by career choice, good luck, fertile fields as farmers, or even more vile and evil purposes. The practice was far from unusual. 

The disbelief comes from analysis today, where we have hidden these kinds of sacrifices to Moloch through the lens of polite society. The alters of sacrifice have moved from a public venue where the children would be killed in full view to the abortion clinics of Planned Parenthood where the undoing of the American family, the Christian invader of the pagan gods could be kept out, and the work of evil could thrive behind closed doors and government funding. But a cult of death it is, the same reasons for the sacrifice are provided. A woman who doesn’t want to be encumbered as she commits her life to her career, to the ultimate service of the God of government, and service to the state. She has no time to be pregnant, tied down to one man for the rest of her life, and build a family. So she kills her baby after a sexual union made not through love but drunken play to the ancient goddess Ishtar. And the result was a pregnancy that was not allowed to alter the mother’s life; she had better things to do than raise a family. This is the same kind of mentality that provoked Yahweh in the Bible to go to war with the land of Canaan and the justification for their destruction because they were an evil people. Evil because they sacrificed their own children to the God Moloch and hoped to prosper from that destructive and terminal act. 

Once that is understood, then the current culture of Epstein Island by some of our top social celebrities starts to make a lot more sense. The cult of sex with underage children and their eventual destruction through the death or psychological abuse is common, not unique. And our government is protecting this evil so that it can grow stronger because the government is pushing God away and opening the door to the same old Sumerian gods who have always been with us. We tend to think of the Biblical period as a long time ago, but in truth, it’s only a very recent past, and since the creation of Western Civilization, society has prospered the more we moved away from the godless heathens of ancient pagan god worship. But the ancient jealousies are still there, and so is the hunger for the death of children. And we see it now on the nightly news by some of our modern richest and most popular personalities. Sex with children is an endorsed act that we see in our public schools, a full endorsement by even our law enforcement personalities. The appeasement of the Cult of Moloch is everywhere. Mass sacrifice to those ancient gods is part of our lifestyle. It was never about separation of church and state with these vile characters of ancient evil; it was always to push out God, the invading Yahweh, and to restore the power and might of Moloch, Ishtar, Baal, and the entire pantheon of ancient figures from a society that has risen and fallen many times under the weight of its own stupidity. Because their rise to power was never understood because not enough from mass society has yet detected the evidence with their historical mythology, which goes back many hundreds of thousands of years. Without the Christian influence of Western Civilization, the world plunges like a rubber band back into darkness, as it always has. And the cult of killing children is very much a part of that past, as it is our present future. It’s the Cult of Moloch that is behind the vast evil, and the people who should be protecting children are the very same that are sacrificing them for the same stupid reasons as the ancient killers did, for their own benefit and hopeful appeasement of bloodthirsty gods who consumed death like potato chips over a cold beer.

The Cult of Ishtar: What’s behind the crazy sex beliefs of modern politics

The famous film by Stanley Kubrick, Eyes Wide Shut with Tom Cruise and Nichole Kidman, is renowned for its crazy sex scenes featuring elite members of society hiring prostitutes for massive orgies in society mansions. It’s a peak behind many people’s belief systems and defies understanding of a traditional Christian-based society. But it’s not so strange if you understand what those elites are trying to achieve. They are no different than the ancient Sumerian farmer or even the Israelites who turned away from God because they worried their crops wouldn’t come. So what they would do was to go to a statue of the Goddess Ishtar, the ancient Sumerian goddess famous from the Epic of Gilgamesh; they would hire a prostitute and would have sex with them, hoping to appease the perverted nature of the deity in hopes that it might rain. Once that is understood then, a multitude of our modern mysteries starts to make sense. We have a lot of people in politics who do not trust in God for positive things to happen in their lives, and they have turned to the ancient gods of antiquity, just as people always have, for supernatural assistance. And that is what the Cult of Ishtar is all about; Ishtar was a sex crazed lunatic. The actual character from the pantheon of Sumerian gods was likely a creature with a few screws loose. That history goes back 450,000 years of chronology, so there is likely a lot lost in the translations, but Ishtar was, by the time the Bible was starting to be written, a very ancient figure, and people had a reason to believe that by appeasing her with sexual practices that good things might come their way. 

We would call such actions evil because anybody too lazy to do the right things could be said to be doing the work of evil. Turning to a goddess to make life easier for anybody is what I would call evil. And knowing the nature of politics and the people who are drawn to that profession, it’s all too tempting to take the easy way out. So embracing sex practices of perversion in the hopes of personal fulfillment of Ishtar into their lives is an all too tempting proposition. This is the surface point of Jonathan Cahn’s newest book, The Return of the Gods, which I think is fantastic, essential reading. For the sake of a book, he focuses on three main gods from Sumerian and Egyptian mythology that are trying to manifest into our modern world from ancient times. I would argue that they never went away. That the way these gods work is through quantum mechanics. They are competing lifeforms with our four-dimensional reality, which has the benefit of concealment. And many lazy people in our world are always looking for the easy way out, so appeasing the sex magic of the goddess Ishtar is very lucrative. We could easily then attribute the trans movement to that appeasement, the embrace of gay rights, abortion, easy sex, internet pornography, child sex trafficking, getting kids to have sex in public school as early as possible, high divorce rates, and broken marriages, all as a social, political appeasement of the goddess Ishtar the same as the Biblical period farmer who is struggling with his crops, and asks his wife what they should do. And they decide that having sex with a prostitute by the statue of Ishtar is the thing to do. In modern times, we see a massive commitment to this ancient goddess by lazy minds easily corrupted because they lack the intellect to contemplate any other reality than appeasement. 

Many people don’t know that the Pride flag of the gay movement, the rainbow, is the battle flag of Ishtar, and the colors all have precise meanings. When its argued that showing inclusion in our public schools of rainbow art made by the students is a great thing but that the cross of Christ cannot be displayed, we are dealing with massive hypocrisy. The rainbow flag is a religious symbol, just as much as the cross is for Christians. The rainbow flag represents the Cult of Ishtar, a sex cult meant to appease the goddess for all aspects of fertility. That fertility might be a new job promotion as viewed in a modern concept, increased GDP among losers in government who do not understand economics and have had their opinions shaped by Karl Marx, Keynesian notions, or even a sports franchise that hopes to win the next big game. Those who lack the confidence to live good lives and succeed with merit instead of supernatural aid are most susceptible to the Cult of Ishtar. Living as a Christian takes a lot more work, so to erase their guilt and weakness, they are openly seeking the destruction of the Christian judgement so to make their worship of the Cult of Ishtar more socially acceptable. And left unchecked, we see that it’s out of control in our politics today. It’s corrupting everything, our children, our businesses, even our beer cans. 

Ultimately, Ishtar was a prostitute, she could never stay faithful to one sex partner, and she was one who often embraced the ability to change her sex at will. This is why the trans movement we are seeing now has taken hold the way it is, and now all these media companies are openly embracing it, along with the powers of government. It’s an ancient superstition attached to pleasure, making it all too lucrative for the not-very-smart. Of course, the farmer will be happy that his wife will let him have sexual relations with a prostitute if it brings good things to their family. And in that way, millions and millions of modern people have been suckered into this Ishtar mess. When in truth, Ishtar, as a living creature, or now as a spirit residing in the 8th dimension, is likely insane and deranged beyond help. But the destruction of her ideas allowed for people to believe that perversion was merit, and since it fed their animal instincts with pleasure, they were all too willing to accept it. And that belief has gone on now for tens of thousands of years. But it’s not by accident that we see so much sex-based commitment by the modern political left. They are not very smart to begin with, leaving them to be very superstitious. They want to believe that if they appease some ancient goddess, their lives will be easier, just as they vote for Democrats to make a big and powerful government that can take care of their lazy asses perpetually. So they are tempted to bring great evil into the world so that they can avoid working too hard and thinking about things on their own. It’s much easier to hope Ishtar will reward them for perversions rather than to work hard to produce something unique from their intellect. Once it is understood that the Cult of Ishtar is behind much of the perverse sex in our modern culture, it becomes a much more manageable problem. I can’t recommend enough that people read Jonathan Cahn’s new book. He has created a great foundation of understanding so we can solve this very modern problem. I think the situation is much worse than he does; there are many Ishtar’s out there, and the politics of the gods are a real challenge when people are so willing to worship them and their menace so easily. But to understand many of our modern problems, understanding the Cult of Ishtar is essential to a solution that won’t come easily. Because that cult’s temptations are lucrative, it is easy for stupid people to follow while engaging in pleasure disguised as a sacrifice for financial benefit.

More Trouble at Lakota Schools: It’s an election year–let the voters decide

Wait a minute, remember when the news networks were camped outside the Lakota administration building, reporting on every time Darbi Boddy turned her head all over a controversy involving a porn link that she accidentally posted as she was trying to bring awareness to parents about sexual grooming within the school. Everyone, including the president of the Lakota school board, Lynda O’Conner, was calling for newly elected first-year school board member Darbi to resign over the issue. Of course, Darbi meant well when she provided the information, but with porn being what it is these days, which is everywhere, it’s hard to avoid pornography when it comes to the internet. When dealing with websites of any kind, pornography, unfortunately, is always in the background, and a little mistake in any web address can lead to a porn site. When Darbi found herself in the controversy, I said the same thing I’m saying now, it’s not a big deal. It was an honest mistake and wasn’t worth her resigning over. But the teacher’s union activists and Lynda herself piled onto Darbi, and the news coverage was national. It found its way to the cover story of Yahoo News. That seemed ridiculous, and it was that Pandora’s Box and the activism of the former superintendent, Matt Miller, that opened the door for all the crazy stuff that happened thereafter, which eventually cost the superintendent his job. So it was a bit perplexing that it was discovered that Lynda O’Conner herself, over the last weekend of February was that her campaign site was linking viewers to a Japanese porn site, which shocked those who saw it. Screenshots flooded in with the information I thought was an honest mistake. But given her statements about Darbi, it was a bit shocking. 

Now I know Lynda O’Conner pretty well; I doubt she has some crazy alternative lifestyle that involves Japanese porn. I’m sure there is a reasonable explanation, an accidental occurrence that would have allowed such a thing to occur. But given the way the media treated Darbi, I thought Lynda was done for in politics. If it was an apples-to-apples comparison, I know how hard that accident was for Darbi. Lynda would undoubtedly have difficulty explaining it if the same wolves jumped all over her from the radical elements. But what was strange was that immediately in the wake of this event, nobody seemed to care. It was as if it was no big deal.

There were no calls for Lynda’s resignation or signature writing campaign to remove her from office. The labor union wasn’t seeking to tear her from limb to limb. All Lynda had to do was apologize, take down the link and provide a brief statement. And everything was just fine, just like that. I kept looking for Karin Johnson from Channel 5 to camp outside of Lynda’s house for her explosive interview on the matter, or Jennifer Edwards from Fox 19 to do a 1000-word article and to post it all over Twitter. But nothing. Not even crickets. It was so mysterious. How could something be such a big deal for one school board member of equal status but not for another within a year of each other? We’re not even talking about a generational difference in values here; in this case, it was just months. Yet the outcomes were entirely different. 

I remember what it was like growing up; if you wanted to look at a Penthouse, Playboy, or Hustler magazine, they kept them on the top rack at a magazine stand, and if you were under 18 and tried to pull one down, the clerk would scold you. It was like that for “R” rated movies, too; if you tried to sneak in, usually there was always a theater employee who would find you and remove you from the theater. This happened to me several times when I saw Scarface at the theater, Conan the Barbarian, and the first Terminator film. All of those were movies where I paid for a ticket to see a “PG” rated movie but went into an “R” rated theater to see the movie I really wanted to see. And they saw me sitting there, not looking 18, and told me to leave. We aren’t living in those kinds of days anymore. I understand that.

In many cases, the kids in Lakota are watching porn at school on their phones. I’m not at all in support of pornography. I personally think it should all be outlawed completely. But my thoughts about Darbi’s honest attempts to communicate where porn came into the picture and the obvious accident by Lynda O’Conner were no big deal to me in both cases. Yet in one case, Darbi, the world came down on her to force her resignation, but in the other, the school board president, Lynda, only political rivals noticed the activity and seemed to have a problem with it. With all the talk of preserving kids from harmful porn, everyone cared when it was Darbi, but nobody cared when it came down to Lynda. That’s because Lynda benefits the radical element, and Darbi is a threat to it. This proves that the porn issue at Lakota was nothing but politics all along. It was never about kids or saving them from pornographic content. It was 100% about politics and only politics. 

When people say, “politics don’t belong in the schools” and that “we should put kids before politics,” they understand that public schools, government schools, are nothing but politics. The kids are only free babysitting services for the parents, who get the taxpayers to compensate for their career choices by hiring people to take care of their kids while they are busy doing whatever their young adult lives can dream up. There is nothing about the kids that really care for the outcome of healthy children in public schools. They are all about progressive politics that seek to undermine the American family and replace the parents with government as the new parental figure. Kids are used to advance a political cause, such as was the case with Darbi Boddy. When it served the radical left, the Joe Biden voting losers in our community, they used an accident to justify destroying a new school board member because they didn’t like her politics. But for the exact same occurrence, Lynda O’Conner, who has sold herself as a Republican, has shown useful to the radical elements which really run the school. And their hypocrisy says more than any political theater ever could. But I say, in Lynda’s case, don’t ask her to resign. Don’t campaign to remove her from the board, as has been done with Darbi Boddy. We are in an election year. Let merit decide; put these kinds of things in the voter’s hands. And let them pick the fate of the school board. Let them apply the wrath of the community. Don’t look for the media, school board, or even labor unions to show righteous indignation because they won’t. Instead, turn to the voters and let them speak with the voice that everyone really fears. People see what has been going on. And when it comes to election day, make sure they remember.

A New Kind of War by a New Kind of Enemy: Covid was a bioweapon and its just the start

As a reminder regarding Covid, from the very first day, and it would be easy to go back on this site and see what I said, I thought of the Covid virus as a bioweapon. I have studied enough history and am familiar with enough different subjects to see the signs and when Covid was introduced, I knew right away what it was and said so. I was even ahead of Rush Limbaugh then, which was a very lonely position. But over the months to come, more people would join me in understanding what was happening, and now a few years later, a large portion of the global population is ready to admit that Covid was a military attack on the world by a new kind of enemy, and they are acting accordingly. It must never be forgotten what happened with Covid and how many people died because a bioweapon was created in China, distributed by people like Bill Gates, who was fully aware of what he was doing, and a small group of billionaires in the World Economic Forum attempted to completely change the way we conduct human life on planet earth by using that created bioweapon to paralyze the world’s governments all at the same time. Now that it hasn’t worked and people are calling the plan what it was all along, these enemies behind the veil are trying to move on from what they did, and they have succeeded to some degree because we don’t yet have in our human language definitions that we can measure the evil of their actions. So our task now is to make those definitions by calling Covid not a virus that happens but a weapon that was created to impose fear on the global populations for the same age-old objective that war is always concerned with, domination over others. 

In the modern sense of war, we will likely never see anything like the two world wars or the Civil War ever again. Tanks, planes, and ground troops will never be the means of fighting that our countries will use to dominate each other, as we’ve studied in history. And I would go as far as to say that our enemies are no longer countries but the financial class that benefits from various countries and the money that makes them work. Today, we have the nightmare scenario that Thomas Jefferson warned about with his constant arguing with Alexander Hamilton over fiscal policy. It was also what Andrew Jackson’s presidency was essentially about. And the efforts of the early American presidents who had the Bill of Rights in mind worked pretty well until the world shrank a hundred years later, and a new kind of enemy loomed on the horizon, one that could make China dance to whatever tune they wished to play. Or any country, for that matter. It’s a villain that goes beyond globalism, and we must embrace it entirely because it’s an evil many of the world’s religions have always struggled to understand. Yet that evil is on our doorstep, and this time it came to us in the form of the coronavirus, modified by humans for a takeover of global politics. It was one of the most malicious destructive endeavors in the world’s history. It’s so bad that no political system will dare call it what it is because to admit such a thing would be to admit their complicity in it, even if it were accidental. Yet almost everyone who failed to see Covid for what it was is complicit in its mass destruction and horrendous effect.

One of my favorite movies of all time is the excellent Spielberg movie Schindler’s List, which deals with the Holocaust of the Jews and is so wonderfully filmed to tell that terrible story. I think of it as a masterpiece. It’s not a war movie like Saving Private Ryan or some other film that involves graphics of war on the battlefield. Instead, Schindler’s List deals with the more obvious problem with war, people’s tendency to comply with a superior force. Why did the Jews allow themselves to be harassed by the radical Nazis? Well, because they hoped for peace and that if they just did what their oppressors required, they might live to survive the ordeal. But why did the Nazis feel the way they did about the Jews. And why did World War II happen at all? Or any war, for that matter. Usually, we find that all wars are caused by a few people here or there trying to impose their beliefs on others. In the United States, we made a formal declaration against the world to be free of that kind of thing, and it worked well until telephones and air travel shrunk our borders into almost meaningless barriers. The tyrants of history are alive and well, and they live beyond governments now, not as kings and emperors, but as financiers just as insane often, but with unlimited financial resources to impose their will on the innocent, just as the Jews were treated during the Holocaust and with the same indifferent reverence. All that has changed is the means of delivering weapons to a proposed enemy. Power players no longer need to take over nations to exert war. All they need to do is fund it.

And that was what we saw in 2020, America elected a president that was wrecking the liberal world order, and those forces that have so far been generally ill-defined sought to remove him. So they did use Covid as a crisis to stage an attack on the world and its economy. China was propped up as they always are to shield the actual attackers, but the intent was unquestionable. And the same evil that killed so many Jews in World War II was on display again, only this time on a much larger scale. On such a big scale, nobody had any previous belief system to see evil for what it was. A bioweapon is much more dangerous than a nuclear attack or some Red Dawn invasion. We witnessed, and are still experiencing, and likely will for the rest of Earth’s history, the way wars will always be waged in the future. Who needs troops and nations with large militaries when all you need to do to subdue an enemy is a bioweapon that could kill them effortlessly while they sleep? It’s not expensive compared to ground wars. It travels from person to person easier than a Trojan Horse. And it’s with us to stay; there is little that any country can do to stop this new menace in the world. But before we can stop anything, we have to admit that it exists in the form that is so threatening, which is where we are now. We suspect there is more to Covid, but we have not let ourselves think of the people behind it as evil as they’d have to be to do such a thing. Yet we have seen this kind of evil before. It was undoubtedly captured well in the Schindler’s List movie. But this is even worse because we don’t have the convenience of a Nazi party to point to and say, “that’s the enemy.” We can’t even do that with the Chinese, even though all evidence suggests that Covid was made there and distributed maliciously. Instead, the real villain is still out there, hiding in the shadows, and they have control of the most powerful weapons in history, the power to make people live or die without firing a single shot in aggression.

Darbi Boddy is Right Again: The SAVE Students Act seeks to separate students from their parents

When I was watching the Lakota school board meeting from February 6th, 2023, on video, I heard the statement from Darbi Boddy regarding the suicide watch program that was being proposed and didn’t think there was anything controversial about it. I also listened to some of the public debate and the counter statement by Julie Shaffer, who is up for re-election this year, and I would expect those types of big government types to find what Darbi was saying disturbing. In the wake of the meeting, there were apparently a lot of people confused about why the topic was even brought up, which in my view, was just a regular topic for a typical school board meeting where the Matt Miller drama was no longer the centerpiece. Then toward the end of that same week, I heard a constant barrage of negative articles in the media done on the story, Darbi’s position on mental health initiatives by Ohio’s SAVE Students Act on suicide watch. She had really hit a nerve because the stories just kept coming. And on Friday of that week, there were top-of-the-news discussions on Clear Channel radio stations discussing it and how there was a petition to remove Darbi from the board again with a signature drive. Several people approached me and said, “your buddy Darbi Boddy is in trouble again; it doesn’t look like she’s going to survive this one. What’s with her?” My reply to them is the same one I’ll address here, “she’s fine. This is the kind of topic they should be talking about in school board meetings, and she brings up a great point, how much parental involvement should there be in these programs, and what role should a school have in the personal lives of the children who attend?” 

Regarding Julie Shaffer, the fellow school board member who offered a counter comment to Darbi’s statement on the SAVE Students Act, I learned about her a long time ago that she represents all the things I personally hate. She and I had debates on WLW radio many years ago about the nature of education in general, and she and I agree on pretty much nothing. And since it’s an election year, there will be time to tell lots of stories about her personal conduct that shows why she thinks the way she does about things.   But the bottom line is that she represents the kind of parents at Lakota who do not have much confidence in their ability to raise their own children, and they want to lean on the crutch of a big public institution to help them deliver good kids into adulthood. I don’t get freaked out about it because she represents a portion of the Lakota population with the same issues with their personal parenting power. And Darbi also represents a significant portion of the Lakota population that believes in old-school parental roles and that the debate they had in a school board meeting regarding the SAVE Students Act was a healthy exchange of ideas which Darbi put forth as a concern from her point of view. Darbi’s argument was that nowhere in the proposal for suicide watch was there a protocol for calling the parents. The fundamental assumption was that the school knew best what to do with the kids, and the parents were thought of as a kind of nuisance or perhaps even the cause of suicide concerns. And by Darbi pointing all that out, it ripped the scab off a concern that all those big government school types have about everything, and that’s the security blanket they all have in the back of their minds. Can they be bad parents and still raise good children if institutionalism can come in like Superman and save everyone? It’s a liberal fantasy that most Democrats have about big government, and essentially what Darbi said popped that bubble of a fantasy in a very public way, and people reacted very violently to it. 

I listened to Darbi’s comments several times and put them here for others to listen to. Darbi is simply saying that the SAVE Students Act should have as a priority a relationship with the parents. As its written, it assumes that parents are part of the problem, which is implied in the text, and she was concerned about the direction it was going, and she brought it to everyone’s attention during the meeting. Her references to the Salem Witch Trials and to Nazis are historical in context and weren’t mentioned just to be an eye-popping revelation. The way that public schools view parental relationships is very much in line with mistakes from history which she pointed out, in separating parents from their children through institutional controls. We have well-recorded incidents of those mistakes from the past, which is why she mentioned them. The fact that we can never talk about Nazi behavior in public unless it is referenced to conservatives is a topic all its own for many other articles. But for this one, the state sponsored the Hitler Youth movment historically and those same sentiments were clearly present in the SAVE Students Act as it was proposed. Parents were not at the center of suicide watch concerns, and they should be. In terrible situations where kids want out of a bad situation so severely that they are thinking of taking their own life, their school relationships would likely be the cause, and parents should know about it. Not to be assumed that bad parents were the cause. Darbi simply wanted to point out that mental health conditions in public school atmospheres should involve a relationship with the parents. The parents might cause the depression, and the school may help those kids. But often, and likely, the situation would be the other way around, and such conditions should trigger parental involvement to provide resolution. Not castigation. 

The violent reaction to Darbi from those on the liberal side of things makes perfect sense; again, I didn’t see anything wrong with it. Obviously, there are strategic reasons for their violent reaction. We just went through six months of drama where the school superintendent admitted in a police report that he had sexual fantasies of drugging, molesting, and videotaping kids who went to the school he managed, and nobody had any problem with that. But their faces melted when Darbi suggested that the parents be the center of any public school interaction with children. It’s obvious what’s going on. There is a political push behind all this to separate children from their parents, with the government stepping in as a kind of gooish blob of liberalism and taking over the parental role. That was the warning Darbi was making, which is perfectly valid. People who want that transfer of power don’t want any opposition to that transaction for whatever reason they think that way.

In many cases, in their own lives to be fair, they lack confidence in their ability to be good parents, and they hope and dream that a taxpayer-funded school will bridge the gap in their parental abilities. They love their children; they just don’t have the confidence in themselves to be a “super parent.” But that is the topic for a school board debate, which is all I saw it to be. Healthy and fruitful. All the rest was political revenge for what happened to Matt Miller. And to those negative participants, I think they will learn that making such a big deal over little issues will only bring forth more like Darbi Boddy, who will want to run for school board and join her on a much-needed crusade to restore parental rights in public education, which is obviously in short supply and in much need of change.

The Lakota Education Association Shows Their Radical Political Agenda: Teacher unions are the biggest danger to kids

It used to be controversial, to tell the truth about labor unions. All of them are the works of Karl Marx. Participating in a labor union is an acceptance of the basic premise of communism. Even four years ago, saying such a thing in public would have received snickers from an unsuspecting public; since the mid-1850s, labor unions have been around. They don’t predate our constitutions in America or the basic philosophy of the country’s founding, which is best summed up by the rival philosophy of Adam Smith and his excellent book The Wealth of Nations. The alarm bells of the communist movement by socialist sympathizers emerged with immigration into America during the late 1880s aggressively. Those rivals brought with them the assumption that European socialism, represented by the labor movement, the federal “Department of Labor,” was intent on carrying on the work of the poor loser, Karl Marx, who was a fool in his lifetime, and a weapon of global governments in his death. Everywhere that there is a labor union, we are dealing with some form of communism. In the 1920s, alarm bells sounded in books like The Richest Man in Babylon. Then in the 1940s and 1950s with, Ayn Rand’s uniquely American books addressed the matter. The idea of wealth creation and social organization were under attack by these recent communist assumptions, and over many decades they wore the mask of patriotism, confusing their members into believing that by espousing communist ideas, that they were somehow being patriotic. 

And the destructive effects of the labor movement were never more obvious in the teaching profession, as the radical progressive John Dewey imagined the role of public education. No matter how much money is spent with confiscated tax money from property values, all socialist schemes that predate all our lifetimes, public education will fail because it has been built on the progressive fantasies of John Dewey and his supporters in government and the communist labor union ideas of the various teacher unions. But things are different now; we’ve grown up in a lot of ways from the kind of world we were before President Trump was in office. Many things that were said about labor unions, and even the communist scares of the McCarthy hearings, turned out to be more true than anybody wanted to admit. Now, as we look at the trash heap of our political landscape, people are now admitting to the obvious. Labor unions don’t represent American values, and they have no place in the education of our children. Too many people listened to the labor union diatribes that have embedded themselves into many of our government institutions, and the collision of ideas was always bound to happen. It’s no longer about good wages for teachers, and smaller classrooms, as they have disguised their movement for years from public judgement; what it was always about, which I have warned people over three decades, is blue-haired losers who want to teach kids about sex in kindergarten, and convince them to embark on perverse sexual lifestyles at the earliest age possible. The results of the labor movement’s political escapades have devastated families, and the evidence has mounted up into a modern admission where people are finally willing to say the quiet stuff out loud. No labor union in a public school is good. They aren’t good for the kids. They aren’t good for the community. And they are anti-America at their very foundations and never should have been included in anything “public.” When people cry out that public schools should never be about “politics,” they simply have ignored that teacher unions are 100% about politics, and if they are not dealt with “politically,” then they will continue to erode away the basic hopes of anything good happening with tax money helping children learn the basics of an education. 

And that is the context of the battle raging in Lakota schools these days, where the Lakota Education Association, without a thought in their head, published to their members an antagonizing memo, shown here, trying to get their members to show up at a school board meeting and harass the first year school board member Darbi Boddy. Darbi, for her part, has made public admissions that she feels about the labor union, similar to my position, where she sees them as an impediment to the education of children, which is well founded. And the union responded by saying regarding a recent meeting, “You were under attack at this January 9th meeting by Ms. Boddy. She stated that she did not want to work with the LEA. We need to continue to show our union is strong, and it is not her choice that we have a voice!” Their activism resulted in a loud meeting with the threat of violence looming over everything obvious, meant to intimidate any supporters of Darbi Boddy who might dare to speak. And when many did, the union members didn’t have anything to offer but implied violence as a result. There is no logical debate that they can have because the foundation of their movement is communism straight out of The Communist Manifesto. So, they have violence and intimidation to support their claims of existence. But Darbi represents the voters of the community, who are in charge of everything, and that right predates anything Karl Marx ever wrote. So she is right to have an opinion on the matter, where the union has a mentality of changing it or getting rid of her. With that mindset, obviously, things were going to get pushy at the meetings. Finally, we are uncovering the real problem in these public schools because Darbi has had the guts to expose it by finally representing the public in public. And the LEA labor union hates it.

Labor unions are the primary danger to Lakota’s kids and all public schools. Their progressive mentality is corrosive to all efforts the human race might attempt to utilize, and years of their conduct are easily seen with history to support a destructive opinion of their foundations in philosophy. Follow the teachings of the labor union members, and you’ll get destroyed families—dangerous sexual lifestyles. You’ll raise corporate stooges who put money above family creation and will end up lost and destroyed as mature adults. You’ll end up with the kind of government we see today, ineffective, too expensive, and unaccountable. To be fair, I can’t think of one possible good thing that ever came out of a labor union, and the kind of society they are teaching to kids are promises of personal destruction. So their assumption that they have a right to exist is only a parasitic promise to steal wealth from hard-working property owners and use that money to destroy the community by destroying the kids in the process. I wouldn’t want any kids to be taught by the losers who attended that January 23rd school board meeting. I am glad that Darbi Boddy is a school board member who is willing to stand up to those hostile forces. And for the sake of the children attending Lakota schools, I would like to see at least two more school board members like Darbi Boddy, perhaps more aggressive than she is, there to govern that mess. The more who do, the more desperate the union members will become, showing the world what they are really made of. If left alone, they will continue to hide their liberal radicalism behind a façade of politeness. But when pressured, as they have been with Darbi Boddy, they show their true nature, which is wonderful for voters to see, and people will be able to see for themselves what the truth of the issue always has been.

The Elon Musk Pronouns: Yes, “prosecute Fauci” is the most viable next step in regards to the Covid bioweapon

Of course, Elon Musk was right when he said on Twitter that his pronoun was “prosecute Fauci.” That statement has received much attention since the world’s richest man said it, and it’s a consistent theme I have been stating from the beginning. Covid was a bioweapon attack by competing world governments that was facilitated domestically by sympathetic agencies who clearly committed treason and sedition in the process of unleashing it upon the world, which killed lots of people and destroyed economies. At the very least, Dr. Fauci lied to Congress about his role in gain of function and his email strings of who knew what about the man-made virus and what his role was in it. That by itself would be enough for prosecution. But by this point, the evidence is abundant that Covid was a malicious and purposeful attack and Anthony Fauci, a top-level government employee, purposely kept medicine away from the sick with hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, which could have helped people get over Covid, and stop spreading the virus. Instead, what Fauci recommended, and what the CDC followed was the most destructive path possible for the Covid 19 virus that was made in China under the supervision of Dr. Fauci and those he controlled through finance, and the ultimate sugar daddy in the whole escapade, Fauci’s partner Bill Gates. Their many crimes were outlined in the very good book by Robert Kennedy, The Real Anthony Fauci, published in 2021. Just about every page of that book is yet another indictment on Anthony Fauci. Of course, the lawyers on the government side have been threatening Kennedy about the book’s contents, which include the complicity of the Department of Defense as some of the guilty parties. They would love to sue Kennedy for his tell-all book about the prosecutorial details of what was revealed about what Dr. Fauci did wrong and to what extent. But they can’t. Courts have a funny way of revealing the truth, and when the perpetrators know that they are guilty, they certainly can’t go to court and admit to it through cross-examination. 

And there is a sequel coming out to that book by Kennedy at the start of 2023 called The Wuhan Cover-up. The first book sold millions of copies and was exceptionally well-researched and written in the language that lawyers can use for prosecution. I thought the first book was plenty, but this second book has taken Kennedy a while. He has pushed back the release date a few times to get everything right, and when it comes out, Dr. Fauci will be happy to have been retired and out of the public eye. It won’t stop the court proceedings. For the rest of his life, Dr. Fauci will answer questions in court. At 80 years old, he likely will die before he is officially prosecuted for what he has done. And, of course, he is denying everything like all these government workers do who have no accountability to the public, as they have been trained to expect. But the truth has been coming out for a while, and long after Dr. Fauci is gone, for decades, people are still going to be putting their minds around what happened with the Covid virus and just how sinister it all was. How many of the government’s actions on it destroyed people’s lives, then the cover-up after that? Kennedy has really earned my respect, as a Democrat, with his work on this issue. Other books have told the true story of what Covid was and who knew what and when. But the Kennedy books are the dreams of prosecutors because they lay out the cases as they can stand in court, and Dr. Fauci knows it. That’s why he’s retiring. 

I remember the day that Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates personally advised President Trump on the lockdowns in America. It was an election year. China wanted to hit Trump hard for the trade deficit talks. And the established world of politics wanted Trump gone. Trump was wondering what to do, and here come these trusted people, Fauci and Gates, who proposed severe lockdowns to deal with Covid. Trump did what they didn’t want: to shut down flights from China to stop the spread. But it was already too late. At that time, I was in an airport in Orlando, Florida, in a room full of thousands of people waiting for delayed flights and trying to find somewhere open and safe for an oversea call on business. The Covid story was breaking, and it at that time looked like the work of a bioweapon during an election year, and I was looking at the weapons of that political war all around me. People from all over the world who flew in to go to Disney World and give innocent people Covid to carry back to their communities to infect other people and spread this virus to conduct the kind of war Fauci knew he was playing from the beginning. So yes, he was guilty, and he knows he’s guilty. The receipts say so, which is why Dr. Fauci has not been able to bring a lawsuit forth to shut Robert Kennedy up from writing these tell-all books. 

What’s interesting about Elon Musk buying Twitter and now revealing all the documents that were behind Covid is which American intelligence agencies were aware of what was going on, and they weren’t making moves to save us; they were looking to perpetuate the virus to escalate the danger and use that danger to gain control of the population politically. In Kennedy’s new book, it states that US Health Officials, like Dr. Fauci, conspired with the Chinese military to hide the origins of Covid-19. And like the first book, the new book will be filled with prosecutable proof. But worse than all that is what we learned about Twitter and its role with these same intelligence agencies, which have now been caught in the big election frauds of 2020 and 2022. The way that Twitter censored information about Covid that might cause people to ask the obvious questions was detrimental to people’s protections under the Constitution and how free speech keeps bad characters in check. Knowing what we do now about Twitter’s relationship with the Deep State, we can now see that other players, like Facebook and Google, were equally involved in the crimes as our government, represented most obviously by Dr. Fauci, threw gas on the fire, on purpose to contribute to the destruction of America as a country. Dr. Fauci is not a hero like the liberal media would like to pretend. He is the face of a government that lied to people and threatened them with any means possible to shut them up and intimidate them into suppression.

Meanwhile, people died, and their lives were ruined to facilitate that Great Reset that Klaus Schwab and the Desecrators of Davos purposely planned across the world to destroy sovereign economies in favor of a new universal currency which they controlled through the China Model. Covid was a military attack, and Dr. Fauci was one of the field generals and was well aware of what he was doing. If he could get justice in court, he would have. But he can’t, which Elon Musk knows now that he has purchased Twitter and turned it from a government propaganda asset to an actual utilizer of free speech, which is what it should have always been. But now, unlike the past months from the start of Covid until the present, we know the crimes and who perpetrated them. And what Musk said about Fauci was true, and then some. There is plenty of punishment to go around, but in this case, it starts with Anthony Fauci and those he supervised.   Then extends to much worse characters from there.

The 19 Different Species of Aliens Who Work with Earth Governments: American intelligence agencies do not work for us, they work for them

I have not been cancel cultured out of existence over the last thirty years because there are many things I do that people want and, in many ways, are much more valuable than gold. One of those things is process improvement and troubleshooting cause and corrective actions. I have a very deep background in Lean Manufacturing, and I often take it way beyond the sensei masters who travel the globe as consultants, and that’s very unique in the marketplace and extremely valuable. But I can’t turn off those skills just because of American intelligence, and actually, global governments hiding behind a façade of spy networks desire to keep all humanity locked behind a veil they have created with secret societies and various religions for complete control over the human race, as just another cog in the wheel of an adored aristocracy. Just before Christmas in 2022, the Biden administration refused to release the evidence of who killed JFK. Mike Pompeo, who I have met and spoken with, under Trump, did the same even though full disclosure is perfectly justified. Obviously, the CIA and the FBI, as institutions, are protecting themselves from the implication of their role in it. This points to many other disturbing trends that come from American intelligence, such that they control elections and are accountable to something besides the American voter. They are audacious in abusing power, almost daring anybody to challenge them.   They consider themselves more important than the presidents we elect or the members of congress we put in place to keep things running in the government. They are, in all essence, a shadow government, and they take orders from something besides the American people. And if you are doing a cause and corrective action on the many ways and whys, there is corruption in our government, everything inconveniently points in one direction and one direction only. That there are likely more than 19 different species of alien life, not domestic to birth on earth, that the governments of the world interact with, and the veil is hidden behind the mechanisms of intelligence agencies, and that is why they are not accountable to us but to them. 

Part of the scam is to convince everyone that such a suggestion is outlandish and crazy. And before what we caught the American intelligence agencies doing during the Trump administration, then up to and during Covid-19, the election fraud that took place in 2020 and continued into 2022, I would have been very skeptical of the evidence that aliens were running everything behind the scenes outlandish. But it has bothered me since Robert Temple wrote his really interesting book, The Sirius Mystery, in 1998, and for 15 years, intelligence agencies around the world worked really hard to destroy him for writing that book. As I did my own investigations, I ran into Michael Salla’s book Insiders Reveal Secret Space Programs & Extraterrestrial Alliances, which I read from in the included video. There is too much there to repeat here; I would recommend the video for the details. But in essence, this notion that our governments are not reporting to their voters but several species of alien races is not new. Many have been complaining about it for years. As the world has become smaller and everyone now has their own portable television studio with their cell phones, the rate of communication has increased to the point where a cause and corrective action as to why is obvious. We are being treated as a flock of animals by an unworthy aristocracy, a kind of new age religious priest class who put themselves between the people of earth and all these groups of alien species for the classic reasons of control. They want to take what they learn from these groups of visitors, who have been coming to earth for millions and millions of years and use that relationship for their quests for power over minds they consider weaker and easy to dominate. 

There are too many things to consider, such as the location of the Eye of Africa and the specific knowledge that the tribe of the Dogon people from that particular region has about the planets from the Sirius A, B, and C region of the sky, one of the brightest stars we see at night and the central character in so many of the world’s religions. The same tricks that were used to conceal these truths of alien visitations from the public in mass were used to a failed effect with the Covid crises created by the government for the purposes of global government control. The suppression of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine at the beginning of the global economic lockdowns to prevent a cure of the Covid crisis was the same kind of arrogance that was witnessed in Roswell, New Mexico, upon the crash there and how the military reacted to it, harassing witnesses and trying to paint them as kooks to the public. I have visited the various sites in Roswell to see everything for myself. I was alarmed to visit the excellent museum there to see their vast library of UFO sightings and details of alien encounters. There is just too much to have them all explained away in coincidence. Governments this time in the modern age were caught in lies, lies about election fraud, lies about a virus they created so to control the world for all the dumb reasons that kings and nobles of history have tried to control their people by being the conduits that spoke to the gods, which is what kept them in power. 

One of the biggest giveaways to this plot, wrapped around the world, is the Antarctica problem. No country claims it, and the evidence points out that the big continent was not always at the south pole. Instead, it was at a time in a climate where dense vegetation existed, and likely, people lived there. There is a history that needs to be studied under their ice caps. If you peel back the layers of concern from the climate crazies, the real fear is that the ice from Antarctica might melt, as it has many times in the past without man-made climate change, and we might learn the truth of our real human history. But currently, which was obviously a goal of the Vril Society of Germans who fled there to continue their space program, it looks like it’s been an easy place for interplanetary travel to come and go without air traffic and governments to report the happenings. Hey, I just saw a UFO over my house.

Actually, my daughter did and recorded it for me. They are careful not to get caught, but they happen everywhere, and people see them. But they aren’t talking to us; they are talking to those who have interceded on our behalf in the class power model that violates the Constitution of the United States. But the goals of the World Economic Forum and the desire for a one-world government come from those same people who have been talking to these 19 different species all along. And for them, they envision a kind of Star Trek Federation kind of world. But many of us don’t want that. We want sovereignty, and just because aliens are coming and going all the time, sometimes at war with each other, sometimes helping us, sometimes trying to hurt us, and our various governments are sticking themselves between them and us, one thing hasn’t changed, and that is that America is the best country on the planet and those ideas are the future of the human race. And no government, not a domestic one, or some alien one, has a right to violate our constitution. And there is no security that American intelligence has a right to use that violates our constitutional rights for our own safety. Nothing is more significant in America than protecting the voters’ constitutional rights. There are no shadow governments allowed. No CIA mind manipulation allowed. And if the 14-foot winged aliens called Draconians think they have some rights over us, they have another thing coming. And it’s at that point that we have to look at all the evidence and consider what to do with it. It’s not technology that makes a society great or even its history. Its philosophy and I would argue that the American Constitution is one of the greatest works of philosophy anywhere in the galaxy. And if the aliens really had it together, they wouldn’t be coming to earth and talking to a bunch of loser intelligence agencies, who are some of the dumbest people on the planet. There wouldn’t be so much secrecy to undermine us so audaciously. And that is the real truth they are hiding, not to protect us from them, but to protect them from us all so they can have the illusion of power they never had before or deserved.

Why I Support S.B. 178: Education needs reform, and the Department of Education is in the way

To answer the reasons I support the Ohio Senate Bill 178, the logic of supporting bigger government to get to smaller government has to be understood. What S.B. 178 proposed by the Ohio Senate will do is essentially remove many of the current Ohio Department of Education Board’s existing powers and put them in the hands of a new director-level cabinet position appointed directly by the governor. The point of the matter is that the current Ohio Board of Education is a worthless body of government that spends most of its time debating diversity and transexual issues and does not have a track record in providing proper education to the future kids of Ohio. And there is no prospect of solving that problem soon, or ever. By design, the Board of Education is a flawed concept that should never have been implemented in 1953. In my view, all the Departments of Education, from the state to the federal level, should be eradicated. Education needs leadership to reflect performance, and the most obvious way to do that is to attach the responsibility directly to governors, who are then better controlled by state legislatures. I see this Bill as a step toward removing power from bureaucratic Boards of Education and replacing them with leadership opportunities. What the Senate in Ohio wants to do is a great thing. I know some of the people involved and understand their intent. Granted, the path to Hell is paved with good intentions, and to many critics, this S.B. 178 can look like just another path to get to Hell. But I would say that public education is already in Hell, and at this point, any path made can only take it out or fail altogether. But an attempt at reform is better than not trying at all. And suppose Ohio is prosperous in this endeavor. In that case, it could pave the way for real education reform and the complete removal of all Departments of Education and replace it with more leadership-directed accountability. 

As many are aware, I am weary of giving the governor of Ohio any more power. The Director position of Health run by Amy Acton directly for Governor DeWine was an unmitigated disaster during the Covid nonsense. So putting that same level of attention into the field of education might look insane. But the way these Department of Education Boards run is far worse. Even during Covid, if I needed to get a hold of someone in the governor’s office, I could. I made my voice known and knew what doors to knock on. And that’s what I’m looking for with this S.B. 178 Bill; I want accountability and a door that I can knock on and get results. I don’t expect the door knocks to be friendly, actually quite contentious. A dispute-free world is not what I think S.B. 178 will do. But with the current Department of Education in Ohio, we have zero accountability. If you talk to one person, they will blame someone else. And when you speak to someone else, they will blame the original person you were talking to. Dealing with the Ohio Department of Education is an insane level of progressive nonsense in which I see no value. It certainly doesn’t help children; it has taken education and made an advanced mess of it. And there are so many problems with education; with the way the teacher unions ultimately control the Departments of Education all over the country, there is no desire for reform from their point of view because they have things set up the way they want them. 

I see S.B. 178 as an opportunity to give a strong governor a chance to make significant reforms in education. I wouldn’t say that Mike DeWine is a strong governor, but the example provided by Ohio could give great governors like DeSantis in Florida, or Noem in South Dakota, and other strong states a blueprint that would eventually pave the way for a new way of dealing with education needs in each state, and provide a competitive atmosphere that is desperately needed. For anything to improve in education, competition and high expectations have to be a priority, as the ability to survive the radical labor elements which will be against anything, and everything must be part of the plan. I come from a business background and understand that good leadership does not come from group consensus building. It comes from solitary leadership that is accountable for success and failure. Otherwise, failure, such as what we have seen in my home district of Lakota, will be absorbed into a culture of complacency. I have tried to reform the group consensus model in my home district by helping to get conservatives elected to the school board there, but the results have been that no matter what is done, the system itself protects itself from any reform, and failure is guaranteed from the outset. Nothing can save Boards of Education anywhere because they are designed to fail by the premise of their existence. I have been saying for a long time that the concept of public education has to be scrapped completely. But many aren’t ready for that conversation. So scrapping the way that decisions are made for education would be an obvious next best step. Many of the names who have spoken out for S.B. 178, which I have put here for the convenience of understanding, I like and think are sincere in their efforts.   I also am very supportive of the several names who have sponsored the 2000-page Bill, which at this point, I have read. It took me a while, there is a lot there, but the gist of it is an opportunity to replace a Department of Education with a door I can knock on and get results. And I’m all for that.

So for the small government critic who says that this S.B. 178 is just another big government solution that takes away voting accountability from the Department of Education, I would say that for many people, the reality is that most people don’t just jump into a swimming pool. They will dip their toes in the water and get in ever so slowly, getting mad at those who do jump in and splash them with water. S.B. 178 is like a handrail that those types of people can hang on to while they ease themselves into the water, the water being education reform. I would like to jump in and pull the plug draining the whole thing at once. Then, fill the pool with fresh water in which everyone hasn’t used the restroom in. Because from my point of view, there is no way to clear that water now that years of corruption and progressive intention have dirtied it up to the point of no return. But to pull the plug, you have to get in the water, and S.B. 178 provides those who still believe in a government solution to education something to hang on to. In this case, leadership is directly attached to the state governor.  Ohio looks to have opportunities beyond the next four years of DeWine to have strong, conservative governors, so I think there are better opportunities for S.B. 178, knowing some of these legislators personally, to have success than in just continuing to do what we have now, which is just a liberal extension of the Biden administration and their further destruction of children’s minds. I think we need action faster than later and more profound and bold rather than timid and safe because the clock is ticking. And at this point, I am willing to give a bold option a chance, not for the adults who are thriving off a corrupt system, but for the kids who need real leadership and an opportunity for a better tomorrow.
