Dumb People Want More Taxes to Pay for More Bad Government: Why pay for more of something bad

What’s different now as opposed to any time in the past is that President Trump is talking about real and substantial tax cuts, whereas the Harris communists are seeking to perpetually raise them, with nonsense like “tax the rich” and “pay your fair share.”  Well, who determines a “fair share,” these government losers are addicted to spending like crack addicts looking for the next hit.  When we look at our government and talk about taxes, we are talking about paying for more government that does less for us without expecting the quality of a job done.  It’s a ridiculous proposal.  And as the Democrats say the same old thing in an election year and we watch gas prices drop under three dollars per gallon right before the election, hoping to sucker people into voting for these idiots one more time, what they are more than asking for is more money to get a government that serves us horribly and to like it.  And to like it so much that we suspend any expectation of performance, which is appalling.  The differences between one vision and the other couldn’t be more stark.  Trump is proposing to remove taxes not just on tips but on overtime pay as well, which is a wonderful idea.  One thing that America could really use is incentives to work more, not less.  What the idiots behind COVID-19 did to our global employment culture has been ridiculous.  There are still lazy people who want to work from home instead of getting back to work over the whole social distancing policy, which has turned out to be a complete and total scam created by the United Nations administrative state losers and their schemes of social detriment. Trump understands from experience that economic growth occurs when people are not penalized for doing more work. 

To the mind of the socialists, communists, and general global citizen Marxists, government expansion means a job without any expectations for performance attached to it.  The purpose of growing government is to develop well-paying jobs that don’t expect to actually do anything.  The pay for that job comes from the government’s ability to steal the money from the people it is supposed to serve and give it to people who have done nothing to deserve it.  This has always been a problem, and people have complained about it since the beginning of the concept of government.  The government is resented when it uses its force to take what doesn’t belong to it for service to itself.  And those lazy in our society seek government employment to protect their ability to make a pressure-free living, which shows up in various degrees of corruption throughout all human activity.  When money is made too easy to get through coercion, your political system has planted and watered the seeds of corruption.  Trump understands, as any real economist does that by letting people keep more of what they make, they work more to get more, and the economy does better.  But most people in government, especially those who call themselves Democrats, do not grasp that concept because they see government as the way to make the most money with the least risk possible.  That’s why all these billionaires find refuge in the Democrat party, because the power of government protects them from the risk of competition, and therefore, the money paid in taxes is less than the risk of going toe to toe with competition in the free and open marketplace.  For all these people, big government is less risky, which settles their timid minds from the realities of social performance. 

But with all our talk of revolution, the tactical approach well before we pick up arms against a tyrannical government is to defund it.  With the discussions of more budgets in the current and future congress, if we do not like the government we have, then why should we continue to throw money at it?  They are just going to waste it.  For all the money they have given to Ukraine, the cost of our more than 35 trillion dollars in debt is, for the first time, a trillion dollars to pay for the people who have loaned us money; why on earth would we waste more money on such a ridiculous government.  That is the question that losers like Kamala Harris and the Obama clan have never asked or answered. They expect that if they need more money to waste on more growth in government, then we are obligated to pay it like some slack-jawed dope-smoking loser.  And that isn’t how it is.  We are in control, not them.  And if you don’t like the service you are getting from the government, we can more than deny those funds to the people misusing them.  It’s no different than telling a crack addict that you aren’t going to give them more crack to destroy their lives with.  Government is addicted to spending, and they expect us to fund that addiction.  When in reality, they should be given less to force them to reduce their growth into a more manageable and efficient government.  The source of the problem is that significant government types have no expectation of performance placed on them, so they don’t see money as a measure to be earned but taken by the force of government to feed an addictive personality that leads in only one direction: corruption.

Behind all the anger at Trump is that this trend culminates in a genuinely accountable government, perhaps for the first time in history.  We knew there would be pushback when we talked about draining the swamp.  But the level of violence that we have witnessed has been obtuse in several respects that are simply unreasonable.  The assumption that people would always pay these ridiculous prices for a government that isn’t even good would never work.  And when there are surprises that so many people are turning to Trump to provide a much-reduced government that asks for far less money, we shouldn’t be surprised.  However, the plan never reasonably paid for all these useless government employees.  We’ve seen plenty of government workers who have gone wrong; James Comey and Dr. Fauci come to mind.  If you interview the typical government employee, you will generally find the same kind of lazy losers looking to inflate their egos with the power of government service without the expectation of actually doing anything.  And to be paid extraordinarily high for doing it.  Why would we want more people doing anything from a power position like that?  That’s why a less powerful government is the only way to go.  We need a government big enough to do the work of the people it serves.  But too small to impose themselves on the public as an oppressive force.  We are not obligated to pay a fair share, determined by those with broken minds, to continue to grow something that is a detriment.  With the Trump election, the government is positioned to reduce its size dramatically, and through the election process, we have a peaceful right to do so under the need to administer those resources as a country.  We do not have an obligation to support the cause of global government with all its problems of corruption and ineffectiveness.  And to pay for it with all our hard-earned money.  Then, we suffer the consequences of having it.  No, it’s time for a fundamental change, and perhaps for the first time in history, it’s within our reach if only we dare to perform the task.

Illegal Aliens Eating Dogs and Cats in Springfield, Ohio: What can be done about this government sponsored attack on private people and their property

I was just in Springfield, Ohio, last weekend, and yes, they have a significant illegal immigrant problem.  And as to what’s happening to all the pets, there are a lot fewer of them than their used to be.  Well, of course, there is no evidence of these illegal immigrants eating the dogs and cats of the people living there because they ate the evidence.  It’s never going to come out well when a community of roughly 60,000 people suddenly has in it 20,000 immigrants dropped off by the government into that small community just north of Dayton, Ohio, and just west of Columbus along I-70.  As I have been pointing out for a long time now, this illegal immigration thing is just the latest effort at war, at dropping off antagonizers into our neighborhoods to assault our way of life and destroy the concept of private property by those who have absolutely no idea as to what that means.  The concentration of so many kinds of one kind of illegal immigrants is purposeful and hostile.  And, of course, they show up without jobs or shelter and have been residing in people’s yards because there is no place else to go, or food to eat.  So they do as they do in the wild, where they came from, which has depressed economies; they eat whatever animal they find walking around.  In the case of Springfield, Ohio, the dogs and cats of the residents suddenly find themselves under attack in one of America’s many scenic and private small towns.  It was a planned assault on people who live between the cities as a means to saturate the voting base with what Democrats hope are voters and more dependents on government, which would give them the ability to expand government in continued, dangerous ways.  This has been the plan of Democrats and their border assailants for many years, and it has provided us with more than 20 million such people suddenly roaming around our country in the same kind of hostile enterprise as the Haitians of Springfield to overwhelm and overthrow our way of life. 

Here’s what everyone needs to understand about this process, especially after what we have seen in Aurora, Colorado, with gangs of illegal immigrants who went door to door with guns and took over an apartment complex.  This is not compassion, letting all these people in to give them an opportunity for a better life.  This is a military attack by nontraditional ground troops intent to destroy our civilization from the inside out.  And they have a lot of bad intentions in mind, much worse than just eating our pets.  This is a Marxist plot to attack the primary concept of private property, which is against all kinds of laws and is unconstitutional at every juncture.  What’s happening to Springfield is intended to spread to every community in America.  With many billions of such impoverished people around the world intending to be let in illegally just as these Haitian immigrants have been, that is the clear strategy of the world against us, to defeat us in a military fashion disguised as good intentions.  There was no other reason for the Haitians to be in Springfield, Ohio, but a military overthrow of the community to pave the way for more diabolical follow-ups, where these criminal gangs of un-American illegal immigrants plan to do much more than eat our pets for their basic sustenance.  They don’t have jobs or shelter, so what else will they do but turn to crime to survive?  Well, that’s the point for them to be there, to incite crime for military overthrow.  And nothing else. 

And I say this just coming off a summer of service as the foreman of a grand jury, so legally, this is all within the context of our modern reality.  Much of the crime we are dealing with in the world these days is, in some way or another, inspired by this same tactical overthrow of America and the mask of illegal immigration to cover it up.  And the perpetrators have no respect for our rules and laws and laugh at us over any constitutional challenges, which are pretty overt after serving on a grand jury of any kind.  The point of all the trouble is grotesquely apparent.  But I can say that most prosecutors in most places around the country have no stomach to prosecute any direct violence involving illegal immigration for the simple reason that they don’t know what to do with an undocumented worker or migrant, either for them or against them.  When these gangs of drug smuggling thugs go door to door as they have in Aurora, harassing people at gunpoint, well, I would say that is the ultimate test of our constitutional life, and they have brought to themselves the next step giving people no choice but to defend their life, liberty, happiness, and pursuit of private property.  Because here’s the little secret regarding the rule of law: there is no way to prosecute an illegal immigrant who technically doesn’t exist.  So when you get that knock at the door, and you turn on the porch light and see a bunch of youthful illegal immigrants carrying firearms, they are functioning outside of the rule of law and cannot be protected by the same.  That is why we have over 300 million guns in this country, for just this kind of massive failure by the government to protect the people it is supposed to serve.  There is no place in the jails for all these people, and there are not enough lawyers to carry the cases in defense of illegal immigrants.  So when they act criminally, they are, quite literally, on their own.

During Reconstruction in America after the Civil War, those who supported incorporating enslaved people into free society were routinely hunted down and killed by angry Democrats who continued to support the Southern cause.  Grant, as head of the military during the Johnson administration and then as President of the United States himself, had to continue to fight the Civil War for many years after Reconstruction began, and there wasn’t enough government to cover all the massive killings of Republicans that were happening all over the south.  Any Republican who supported Reconstruction was targeted and often killed by hostile bands of domestic terrorists who would later become the KKK.  It was a Democrat strategy to hide their role in slavery by eliminating any critics of it.  And they attempted to overwhelm the system with unchecked violence that the government couldn’t prosecute or control.  The illegal immigration crisis is the same kind of strategy, but the lessons for our part can be said to go in reverse.  If you find yourself on the wrong side of violence or that some illegal migrant dropped off in your community by the Biden administration is trying to eat your cat, what you do to protect your private property is at your discretion.  Illegal immigrants do not have rights or can even be processed by our courts in America.  So, they are operating at significant risk to themselves as they have little to no judicial recourse.  There are a few firms of attorneys willing to take on illegal immigration cases who are victims of violence.  But not many, not enough to cover the kind of violence they are proposing and the kind of actions it takes to meet it.  Suppose those hostile, illegal aliens are on your porch in a threatening way. In that case, you are covered under the ultimate rules of law in the Constitution to protect your property in any way possible.  And in Ohio, where Springfield is, the Ohio Constitution even states that if the government doesn’t do its job, we have a right to get rid of it and find one that does serve us.  This is what elections are all about, but in this climate where we can’t trust the government to certify its elections, then that process is part of the system that has allowed illegal immigration to be such a menace to us all.  And has been part of the problem.  But being prosecuted for managing purposeful, illegal behavior can’t happen, and it won’t.  Because any rights do not protect all those undocumented people, they are vulnerable to those they are attacking and under no pretense to put up with such bad behavior in a court of law of any kind or the eyes of God himself.  The people of America must protect their private property and lives in any way possible.  And dogs and cats are private property.

People Are Coming Together Under Trump’s “Save America”: With all the bad we have expereicned, something very good is happening

I wore my “Save America” hat to the auto store the other day, and the kid working there liked it so much that he acted like he wanted to come home with me, like a stray little dog who had suddenly been fed while desperately hungry.  The sight of “Trump” something was enough to send him into a state of excitement upon such recognition.  The “Trump” brand has turned out to be very patriotic, and people want very much to love their country again.  For too long, people have taken for granted that America would always be there for them, and these days, they are happy to see anything that reminds them that their country is still there, and Trump is the name that does it for them.  When someone like that auto parts clerk sees “Trump,” they know all is right with the world.  And this isn’t just some random guy who is expressing these kinds of sentiments.  It’s happening everywhere.  Recently, I was up by Bellfountain, Ohio, just a few miles from Springfield, where the great controversy about illegal immigrants from Haiti is now a national story, where the population of the town is around 60K, and the amount of illegal immigration brought into the area by the federal government is 20K.  People are not happy, and they know what’s going on out there.  I’ve never seen it like this before, but the side roads from I-75 to downtown Bellefontaine were lined with Trump signs in their yards for at least 20 miles. Not just a few, but most homes felt they needed to express themselves with a Trump sign in great abundance.  I understand, I have been flying a Trump flag in front of my house for three years now, and people seem to love it.  But it’s not the kind of thing a person who wants to hide under a rock of political indecision does.  For many people, expressing a political view is hard in public, but these days, people find it very refreshing because they think the same things.

One of my daughters is an artist who travels frequently around the country, attending trade shows.  And, of course, in the art crowd, you would expect to find a lot of very liberal Democrats who hate Trump.  And that has certainly been the case for her for a long time, except this year.  Now, as opposed to the past, more people are breaking off from the “Never Trumper” category and whispering to her that they love Trump and want to see him elected.  And for them, it’s quite a statement, a significant rebellion against their everyday political sentiments.  What all this means is that there are a lot of people out there who are reflecting support for President Trump ahead of the 2024 election because they see that America is in danger of a complete communist overthrow of globalist intention, and they are looking for reassurance in their peers that such a thing might be avoided.  I’ve never seen anything like it in all the years I’ve been involved in political activity.  And across such a broad base of people, many of whom would vote for a Democrat otherwise.  Even Elton John is showing support for President Trump, which is stunningly remarkable.  Over the last few weeks, very blue Democrats have supported Trump from Robert F. Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard, and the trend continues daily.  Democrats are jumping ship and voting for Trump, and suddenly, it’s not such a scandal to wear a Trump hat out in public or put up a yard sign in support of Saving America through President Trump’s re-election. 

It’s good to see, but I’m not entirely surprised.  I’ve reported that my wife and I have been all over the United States since the last election, and support for Trump has always been there.  You don’t see many Biden signs or Harris references anywhere.  Most of the support for Harris comes from the political machine of the mainstream media, who aren’t so mainstream anymore.  The illusion was only maintained by a public that was shamed into not expressing their political sentiments by those seeking to control it.  Even a year ago, I got a lot of disapproving looks when I would wear my Save America hat out in public.  But these days, I see them more often in more places.  People are rebelling against the established order by openly supporting Trump.  And people who otherwise wouldn’t are now doing so.  Trump is a brand that they know can Save America from those willing to destroy it.  And there is hope in Trump that through all he has endured, that by example, America can become Great Again.  The people out in the country of Ohio know what the government has been up to; dumping illegal immigrants into Springfield, Ohio, was an attack on the country culture there, of the red, white, and blue Americans who inhabit those vast spaces.  And to assault them at their homes.  People hope that by supporting Trump, they might regain a representative government again, instead of the one from Biden/Harris who wants to use the power of government to destroy their very lives.  Social customs of political discreteness no longer bind people because they realize that part of the attack vector has been not expressing views that would Save America.  They no longer feel so restricted.

I would say that people have always felt this way, but they didn’t feel like they could express themselves due to social appeasement.  Because Biden has been so wrong, and the machine that put him in office is now trying to use Kamala Harris as the new offering of communism for all, hidden behind a thin veil of feminism intent to overcome logic with the siren song of skin color.  People have had it and to such a point that public displays of affection toward Trump are the only thing that makes sense.  And when Democrats are bleeding over into the political support of President Trump, something much bigger is happening that is important.  And perhaps this is all purposeful in the grand scheme of things.  Things looked pretty dark in 2021 as Joe Biden stepped into the White House after a three-letter coup against Trump was trying to remove a sitting president to preserve a big government that had grown out of control and had great hatred for the American people as a sovereign nation.  The hostilities toward those people have united those people in ways that nobody has thought possible.  And now, in the final days of 2024, people are genuinely coming together under a common cause from many different political backgrounds to Save America from those who intend to destroy it.  Finally, we can agree on something we would never agree on otherwise.  And perhaps that is the point of all this pain and suffering.  Through a massive fight, we have found ways in common toward a goal we can all agree on.  To Save America because we previously never thought it could be in danger.  Yet now that we have seen it is in danger, we want to put aside our differences and save it from those hostile forces.  And yes, those forces are hostile and intent to destroy us all.  Which has at least united us against a common enemy, which is good.

Trump’s ‘Save America’: Quite simply, one of the most important books ever produced in the history of the world

To say Trump’s new book ‘Save America’ is one of the best books ever produced might seem unfair, but I can’t think of another time in the world when such a thing was ever made, which will be so significant in memory.  It’s not that the book is scholarly in what it says, but what it shows that matters.  The books the Trump family calls “coffee table books” have been riveting.  This latest one, Save America, is the third in a series that photographically chronicles the Trump presidency and is very optimistic in its approach, which reflects Trump’s outlook on life shaped by The Power of Positive Thinking.  Winning the Presidency was one of the most important and fulfilling things that President Trump has ever done, and he shows in these books what the office means to him.  I wanted to get my hands on Save America, which came out on September 3rd from Winning Teams Publishing, which Don Jr. is behind, and like all the books they produce, this one has just a few extra steps in quality that you expect from anything coming from the Trump Organization.  So it’s a bit more than just a book, it’s a statement about an optimistic vision for its contents.  Trump golf courses are not just golf courses but experiences beyond the game.  In everything he does, Trump always puts a bit of class into his work, and that is certainly what he did with the Presidency of the United States of America.  Trump wasn’t just president; he made the role of the Executive Branch an experience and took it into what Americans expect from the office while it’s now quite clear that the world has been cheerleading its demise.  So, a photographic journey of that experience says a lot more than words can.

What is stunning about this book is the context.  It was obviously in production to be a final statement of what Trump was offering to the public before the November election.  But during that production, a lot happened in the world that would be talked about for thousands of years in the future.  And when you consider that Google has been trying to erase the image of President Trump being shot in an assassination attempt from the internet, publishing this book with it displayed vividly on the cover was going to ensure that such a thing would never be possible.  Because of its quality and what it shows, this book Save America will have incredible relevance thousands of years from now as historians try to grasp what happened in the world around 2024.  Many things are going to happen because of this year, and many bad characters have been rooted out into the open.  The scope of all of this is captured wonderfully in Trump’s new book.  He is showing himself with most of the world leaders who are essential at this moment, which puts the presidency on a massive scale and shows it far superior to the United Nations.  In contrast, many of the Marxist schemes of the world seem small in comparison.   Trump has done something remarkable with this book, defining the American presidency as the leader of the world, and key to the future.  What might have started as a political contribution to the election season has become a statement against tyranny in response to the most ostentatious display of overt authoritarianism ever witnessed on a mass scale. 

The book opens ironically with the famous mug shot of Trump being arrested in Georgia over questioning what we now know is the most outstanding example of election fraud ever attempted.  And the authority figures of our time have used lawfare to prosecute a former sitting president and to throw him in jail for essentially capturing an office they thought they controlled.  And their anger at him was for interrupting their destruction of the American idea.   And for that, by arresting him, they were imposing upon all of us what they intended to do as authority figures on the heels of the COVID-19 virus, which we also know was created in a lab in China for the purposeful destruction of the human race as we know it.  That mug shot picture means so much, and Trump has put his arm around it and made it part of him in a positive way, which is something perhaps only he could have done.  Then, the book ends quite literally with the assassination attempt of his life after being shot in the head and with blood running down his face, which took place literally just a few weeks ago.  Historically speaking, it is a stunning chronology of world events captured in one book, which is why it will have a lasting impact well into the future.  It would be fantastic if historical figures who have endured a lot in their lives captured that power so visually.  But that’s what we have here where essentially the world, even Democrats like Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy, have united behind Trump to propel his vision for what Making America Great Again means and what it means to the world.  Between those two events, Trump shows his optimistic vision and interaction daily through his presidency, the post-presidency, and then up to the campaign and election in November through the Republican Convention, making J.D. Vance his Vice President. 

I quite literally read hundreds of books per year.  I finish a new one about every two or three days.  So, I have quite a collection over the years and have seen a lot of production going into how books should be put together, from the binding to the quality of the paper.  If I could be said to have a particular love, which is a running joke in my family, it is for the smell of freshly printed pages and the quality of a binding.  Of all the books in the world, I especially like those produced by the English publishers Thames and Hudson, who do a lot of books for Stone Henge, the English Heritage site, and The British Museum.  They are heavy, meaty books that are designed to last for many hundreds of years.  Those are the types of books that Winning Teams Publishing produces and of the quality of Save America.  The little bits intend to last and make a bold proclamation to do so.  The joke in my family is that my grandchildren laugh when I say that I love the smell of books so much that I want Grandma to have a perfume that smells like a book.  And the joke is that I’m not kidding.  And that’s what is great about Trump’s book, Save America.  It has the substance of everything such a book would want to be.  But, it also has that quality that proclaims its importance in a personal library for many centuries to come and is a statement to the tides of tyranny that have loomed in the background since the beginning of time.  Only now, in this age of 2024, with the promise of a second Trump term in the American Executive Office, is there a chance that such optimism overcoming so much devastating tragedy would ever have an opportunity to grow.  Yet it is captured as such in this new book, and I can’t recommend it enough to anybody thinking about it.

The Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Vanessa Wells and Against Lakota Schools: Lawyers run these public enterprises and that has to end

I think the courts are a poor substitute for dueling.  We’ve tried to bring a civil discourse to conflict management, but it hasn’t worked, and that is undoubtedly the lesson at Lakota.  We tried to help that public school in Butler County, Ohio.  But they are infested with dangerous progressive policies and expensive legal advice, which they have been wasting money on for years.  And they got caught in a lot of mess over the last few years, which I think only goes in one direction.  Once President Trump is back in the White House, there will be significant reforms to how schools are funded and managed, starting with the Department of Education, and lots of things will change in the public school system and the lawyers who run them.  And to that point, a small window of that kind of change was seen when the Vanessa Wells case against Lakota schools was heard by the Supreme Court of Ohio and found that Lakota had been deceptive in their attempts to conceal information from the public and they awarded Vanessa her information request and legal fees reimbursed.  It’s a story many of us thought from the beginning Vanessa Wells would win.  She’s brilliant on legal matters and is more intelligent about attorney issues than most practicing lawyers.  So they weren’t prepared for her and a small army of diligent moms, one of which did get elected to the school board, which caused them all kinds of problems.  Because they weren’t prepared for opinions, they couldn’t control those opinions through their standard practice of restricted public disclosure.  The Supreme Court of Ohio found that Lakota had acted unlawfully in its desire to conceal public disclosure regarding the actions of their superintendent at the time, Matt Miller, who eventually resigned over his actions once his bizarre threats of lawsuits did not gain traction.

When it was learned through a police report the kind of life that the superintendent was living, many parents didn’t want to pay his salary.  This issue won’t go away; there will be a lot more of this in the future, especially now that the Supreme Court has ruled the way it has in this Wells case.  I happen to know Vanessa very well.  Interestingly, many of my personal friends are involved in Supreme Court cases, but this one was big, and the case law that spawns off it indicates the future of education.  Essentially, public entities do not get to conceal information important to managing their taxpayer-funded endeavors.  Lakota schools got caught trying to hide the bad behavior of its employees from the public, which was revealed clearly in the email correspondence that the superintendent’s lawyer tried to enforce on a community they didn’t respect.  There was a lot of talk at the time that Matt Miller was going to sue the Lakota school system as he was still employed as the superintendent over harassment by the school board led by Darbi Boddy.  To make a long story short, the school board is the management body represented by the community and is supposed to have control of all these radical lefty employees in these public schools.  But what was revealed through this process, and because Darbi Boddy pushed the issue in less than polite ways, was the level of manipulation that truly goes on in the background by lawyers who run the schools.  The school boards are only there, in all public school districts, to give the illusion of public disclosure, the issue of civilian oversight that I have been talking about recently a lot.  Because it is at the heart of the problem in just about everything we discuss regarding government.  Over the summer, I have been a foreman on a grand jury, and that is the same kind of case there.  All the lawyers involved play a game of respecting civilian oversight while they work in the background to completely rule as unelected bureaucrats at every level, with what they think are complicated legalisms that only they understand. 

Working with Vanessa and Darbi, along with many other people, many of them excellent legal minds, we learned a lot about where the actual costs at Lakota schools go and how they seek to protect a kind of Never Trumper political agenda with ruthless zeal. Significantly, what was done to Darbi Boddy to get her off the school board and defend themselves from what is an inevitable future of public disclosure.  But part of that process was this little game that was exploited by the letter Lakota tried to conceal from the public where the lawyers are showing they are really in charge of the school, and their defense of avoiding public scrutiny was to threaten to sue all of us involved, and ultimately the school itself by the sitting superintendent who mistakenly felt that he had a right to privacy as a public employee that he did not have.  Vanessa and I received a similar lawsuit letter, which played out over this period, as did several others who were involved in having an opinion about the lifestyle choices of the superintendent that we found objectionable and even dangerous to children.  Vanessa, Darbi, and many others have spent a lot of money on legal bills to defend themselves from this public school’s poor management practices.  I laughed off the threat as ridiculously stupid and handled my legal matters on my own.  I approach those kinds of things to treat it like I do when I fix my cars.  I wouldn’t say I like professional opinions; I want to do it myself when something breaks because nobody, in my opinion, can do it as well as I can.  I work with many lawyers; if I need to, I’ll use them as a bandwidth issue.  But this case was clear to me at the start, and the purposeful attack by the legal people involved in Lakota were obvious constitutional violations, and I knew any court challenge would fall apart at the first stages of review. 

We’ve also seen this same strategy play out in national politics. It is undoubtedly a progressive trend that has been floating around legal firms for decades, and it came unraveled at Lakota schools in ways that only confirmed my worst suspicions.  When the threat came to us, Vanessa and I talked about it while I was on vacation with my family in a really nice place as we bought everyone ice cream on a scenic waterfront.  I became furious because such a silly matter was disrupting my time with my family, so I made a point to ensure everyone was paid back for that incursion in my life.  But what was so audacious about the threats was their designs to keep the public out of their business, so bad things could happen without any civilian oversight.  And the Supreme Court saw it the way I knew it would that day, buying ice cream for my family.  But to the level that these lawyers have even hoodwinked the school board members, that was shocking, and I learned about all of them far more than I wanted to know in this process.  And that system won’t be allowed to continue, I can say that.  However, there is a process, and the Trump election is the next point of interest.  Electing more school board members only to have the legal people attack them and toss them off so they can avoid civilian oversight isn’t going to be tolerated.  And that is what this Supreme Court case of Ohio essentially means.  And the angry moms out there know it.

Roger Reynolds is Suing the Great Nancy Nix: A claim of quo warrento going to the Supreme Court of Ohio

If there was ever a case that expressed more clearly the need for civilian oversight of government affairs then it would be the Roger Reynolds case in Butler County, Ohio, where he is suing the great Nancy Nix for his old job as an auditor.  Whenever money is involved, there will be a lot of scrutiny, and the auditor’s job is one of those that naturally has a big target on it.  In Butler County, Kay Rogers had to go to jail for criminal conduct when she held that position.  It is sometimes hard to distinguish good intentions from malicious conduct, and I thought the Kay case was ticky-tacky and more politically motivated than anything.  But Roger Reynolds stepped into that role through an appointment and then proceeded to win several elections after that and was an excellent auditor that people respected.  Even when Roger had a target placed on him as well, and he was accused of an illegal interest in a public contract, Roger still won an election even as he was awaiting sentencing for a jail term.  I thought what was being done to Roger was unfair, even abusive.  And during it all, nobody stood by Roger Reynolds more than Nancy Nix.  Once Roger was convicted of a felony on one of the charges against him, he asked his staff to support Nancy, treasurer at the time, to step into his office and continue the excellent work he had started there.  It was not a sure thing then that Nancy would be the next auditor; there were other names in mind and reasons for the names.  So, while Roger had to resign office due to the conviction, Nancy dutifully stepped in to cover Roger’s job while Michael McNamara filled Nancy’s job as treasurer.  Meanwhile, Roger cleared his name through the appeals process in the courts. 

This is one of those cases where I know everyone and what they are all about, including those who were prosecuting Roger Reynolds.  So I have the context to this that many wouldn’t have access to, and from my point of view, I was relieved that Nancy was in that auditor position because of the target on such a powerful seat.  To use a Lord of the Rings metaphor, Nancy is by her nature probably the most resistant to corruption of anybody available, so if someone must carry the ring of power into Mordor and throw it into a pit of lava, Nancy Nix is the person most likely to survive and do the good work needed to save the world.  Even though it was unfair what Roger went through, and it cost him a fortune and many other things, particularly his excellent name in the process, he is a damaged person.  I would love to see him restored in name and health.  I understand his desire for revenge and to return to his office in glory after surviving all he has been through.  But then there is the need for the office and the people of Butler County to get good work done.  What we need in a position is a good auditor working with a good treasurer for the needs of our community and a focus on good government.  We don’t need a revenge tour in a divided political party trying to destroy each other.  It’s for those reasons that we have a process of fulfillment in government offices, and if there is a reason that an elected representative must resign and a new member replaced, we have a primary process that gives the public, ultimately civilian oversight over elected offices that end up with corrupt personalities occupying them.  And the Supreme Court of Ohio is the proper backstop for just such a maniacal twist of fate.

In this effort to restore his name, Roger filed a lawsuit against his former good friend under the premise of quo warrento for the Supreme Court to consider so he could get his old job back.  For some reason, Roger thinks that Nancy can vacate that office and hand it back to him now that he has been restored through the appeals process and found innocent of the charges placed against him.  Because Nancy was appointed to the position to cover for Roger, she gave up her seat to another, and there was no office for Nancy to return to.  The process is set up to avoid chaos, and once appointed, those jobs are filled until the next election.  At that point, the voters are the ultimate arbiters of justice.  If Roger wants his old job back, he would typically go through the primary process and run against Nancy, and the voters would decide.  Instead, Roger wants his job back now, which would wreck many people’s lives, and it certainly would be disruptive to an office already trying to shake off a past of criminal convictions, fair or not.  There is a public stigma that must be overcome, and for me, nobody else in the world is better prepared to overcome that stigma than Nancy Nix, who has a devoted personality and forthcoming nature.  She is the one I want counting the money in Butler County, Ohio. 

In all this, Roger Reynolds has become a lot like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. He is so obsessed with his name clearing in the eyes of the public that he has become something the world despises, which has been surprising.  But it shows how just about anybody can fall off the rocker and lose their minds under duress, which is precisely why we can never let the government have too much power over us.  In the case of Butler County, the auditor seat requires that much good work needs to be done for the community to function correctly.  So, we must be dedicated to its preservation for the good of voters.  Those jobs don’t exist for those who hold those jobs but for those who need them in public service.  However, politics is a balancing act in a popularity contest, and it is easy for people to find solace in public approval. When you feel bad about something, getting lost in the temptation to seek validity through the election process is easy.  So, while I can understand the need, Roger is looking to have the public restore a sense of value to him.  We still must consider what that value is and to whom it serves.  And when we wonder why we have high courts and laws of the land based on actual value, the Supreme Court of Ohio is something we should all hold in high regard because it keeps for us the process of ultimate civilian oversight so that power doesn’t corrupt the minds of the people we put in office to the point where government becomes diabolically dangerous, and corrupt, which is undoubtedly a temptation when vast amounts of money are involved.  And why, if I have to pick one person over another who guards that money, it’s Nancy Nix who can bring that value to the people of Butler County and not become just another Gollum that will give the office a further lousy name.  No, we need an auditor who can’t even have the stigma of corruption implanted upon it.  Over the last two years, Nancy has stepped into that role; when asked to, she has exceeded even the highest expectations, which is the point of the office in the first place.  That office exists for the people of Butler County and their needs for good government.  Not for those who might fill those seats on a path of personal redemption.

Civilian Oversight is the Key to Everything: Without it, corruption rules the world

So, what’s at the heart of the world’s trouble presently, and how do we fix it?  What is the meaning of a book like Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia?  What can we possibly do about it all? How can we hope to fight it?  Well, that’s an easy question to answer.  And it is the key to all the political turmoil we are experiencing presently.  It all comes down to a respect of civilian oversight over governments and authorities.  Those who do not want to be under the scrutiny of civilian oversight run to groups to protect themselves from the results of their ambitions, like the Vatican, the mob, and even in government jobs who use the power of collectivism to hide their menace from the public, like the CIA.  It’s far more complicated than all that, but in Operation Gladio by Paul Williams, we at least get a good view of the problem and its history.  Operation Gladio goes back to formation just after World War II, when many bad things happened, especially with the formation of the United Nations.  Because those European countries and other places in the world do not have a notion of civilian oversight in their cultures, as promised by the American Constitution.  What makes the American Constitution so powerful is its admission that authority figures, if given power over others, will abuse that power 100% of the time.  So, civilian oversight is always needed to preserve integrity.  Without that scrutiny, corruption always happens.  It is the conflict to eradicate civilian oversight that the world is most hungry for presently because of what was revealed by President Trump’s presidency.  Respect for the people who put you in power is the core debate.  Many in the world, especially in the United States Washington D.C. culture, want to believe they can rule over the masses like some classed aristocracy rather than a jury of their peers. 

China has tried to pressure America into following communism because they say it’s more efficient.  Look what a government can do when it doesn’t have to deal with civilian oversight, and instead, the power of government can take a house and destroy a family through communism.  And do whatever it wants for society’s general good, as determined by those running it.  If any civilian or other familiar person thinks it has power over the government, the government will have the power to show them otherwise.  At the core of that debate is the attempt to grab guns in America and eradicate concepts of free speech and gun rights to protect that speech from government oversight.  Governments that want to function as top-down communist centralized authority wish to define, for instance, what speech is acceptable and what truth is, and they expect not to be questioned about it by ordinary, everyday civilians.  However, in American culture, our legal system goes way out of its way, as demanded by our Constitutional rights, to put limits on what the government can do because history reports that if left alone to their own devices, power corrupts everyone at some point and civilian oversight is the key to managing that corruption and keeping it from harm’s way.  The massive expense of American law is needed because people with power can’t be trusted.  They must be managed through civilian oversight.  The entire foundation of America’s approach to government, society in general, and preserving personal liberty is implementing civilian oversight to keep the government big enough to function but not powerful enough to function as a tyrannical force.

At its core, this is why Trump is so hated.  He was elected and ran his entire presidential platform on the promise of civilian oversight.  People picked him over the machine of Beltway politics.  He does what people want of him.  He openly consults the Constitution to settle disputes, empowering civilian oversight rather than trying to crush it out of existence, which is the campaign platform of Democrats.  They, in essence, promise free stuff given to people who vote for them, and that free stuff comes from the confiscated wealth that Democrats steal through the power of government.  Lately, there have been a lot of cases where civilian oversight has been horrendously disrespected so that a government narrative could be established, such as these mass shootings, whether the killer who tried to assassinate President Trump or the school shootings that occur by transexual kids who fell off the rocker, we find at the heart of all these cases provocations and failures of the three lettered agencies, such as the FBI and the CIA.  When the CIA was created to help fight communism around the world, supposedly, they desired to function without congressional oversight at all so that they could operate without civilian oversight.  Because ultimately, members of Congress represent the people who vote for them, and the CIA should be reporting to Congress to get its funding.  Instead, the CIA was set up to fund a large part of its activities, according to books like Operation Gladio, with sales from the illegal drug trade, which makes sense.  It also explains a lot of problems in the world when these various groups, whether it be the Vatican, the mob, or the CIA, fight against any civilian oversight into their diabolical mechanisms of doom and mayhem. 

And without that civilian oversight, corruption grows like weeds quickly because that’s a human condition.  The world needs its version of the American Constitution to manage the level of corruption it experiences as a society.  When the CIA is pressed for civilian oversight, they have played the “alien card” through the years, reports about alien spacecraft and the characters who fly them, to keep the public content behind a veil of secrecy, all for national security.  They say their need for black budgets is more critical than the need for civilian oversight.  That is why there is so much terror about Trump becoming president again because he has said he will release the actual report on the Kennedy assassination and that deregulation will take away the power of many government agencies to function without civilian oversight.  Yet, there has never been a society in the history of the world, anywhere, that was able to function without civilian oversight.  And the United States has been the best example, even at the tremendous cost of having it.  Checks on power are critical to the insanity, specific to those who get power and are tempted to use it in destructive ways.  And that is the problem with the CIA.  Without civilian oversight, which it has virtually none, not even in how it is funded, being funded by an illegal drug trade that feeds off the demise of the world’s population, the CIA has become a corrupt organization that can do whatever it wants to anybody it wants to, and if they make a mistake, there is nobody to correct them. And it has worked so well for them; every other three-letter agency has wanted to copy their example.  That is certainly the case with the FBI.  We are supposed to believe whatever they say, even though in all the mass shootings, there were red flags given to them that they did not act on, purposely or not.  Even Homeland Security, over the issue of President Trump’s security.  They didn’t understand why civilian oversight was so meaningful when they were drug before Congress to explain their failures, which ended in at least a significant resignation over office deficiencies.  The world fights against civilian oversight and the desire to rule over people, not to have people free of such constraints and to impose their judgment on their social betters.  The conspiracy against civilian oversight is the desire to rule over mass society and not to have ordinary people regulating government power for its own sake and creation.  And anything that does not have civilian oversight should be said to be abolished for good as useless and ineffective.  This then explains why people want power in the first place: to avoid oversight by those who might judge them and find their lives lacking in the opinions of civilian oversight.  The goal of those conspirators is to get rid of the judgments of the public and hide behind the power of government to conceal their worthless condition from the world.  And it really isn’t any more than that.

That’s No Moon, It’s the United Nations: Democrats joining Trump to fight the Death Star of global politics

This is part of the movie shown in the very first Star Wars film, A New Hope, where they are flying in deep space, and Ben Kenobi says to Han Solo as he was chasing down a Tie Fighter headed for a small moon, or so they thought, “that’s no moon, that’s a space station.”  Han Solo says, “That’s too big to be a space station.”  Kenobi says, “Turn the ship around.”  Solo says, “I think you’re right.” But it was too late.  Their ship was caught in a tractor beam, and they were all prisoners because they didn’t recognize what had been hiding in plain sight fast enough.  The Empire had been growing quietly in power in the background, and nobody had thought they had weapons like a Death Star at their disposal.  It had been built secretly, being too big for people to assume it could be real.  And by the time they realized what it was, it was too late.  That’s why people across many generations so loved those old Star Wars movies.  People naturally have an uneasy consideration about power and what it can do through the influence of the government.  The more recent Star Wars movies don’t get it; they are primarily concerned with silly stuff like the color of a lightsaber.  It was not the content of the struggle itself, which few films ever managed to capture, but the first two Star Wars movies did.  People are always uneasy about what power can do to their lives, and those old movies dealt with that issue in a way that meant something to many people who couldn’t quite put their finger on what they fear most.  And that point in that first movie best articulates people’s true feelings about the natural world around them, presented in a fictional context. 

I talk about these things all the time; I have been exceptionally well aware that many space stations out there threaten the human race.  Most people don’t think about those things and will only let themselves consider such a possibility in the kind of fiction they consume.  But what we have been learning about Joe Biden and his replacement, Kamala Harris, is that there is a real menace functioning behind the scenes of the Democrat Party, and a lot of people are jumping ship because they realize that the menace is a form of Death Star, a machine of globalism that is threatening to destroy everything regarding the freedoms we hold dear.  So this election with Trump in the fall of 2024 is no longer a Republican versus Democrat kind of thing; it’s now a joint effort of rebellion against a globalist machine that has been in power for a long time.  But we refused to see it until we were caught by a tractor beam and pulled ruthlessly toward it.  As everyone knows, in Star Wars, after the heroes are captured, the rest of the movie is about escaping and destroying that ominous machine, and it’s a lot of fun watching them do it.  And that fun has now lasted for several decades.  But we are no longer talking about fiction here; the Death Star is real, and it has been against America’s choice in government and has been seeking to destroy it.  And the more President Trump was involved in politics, the more it forced them to reveal themselves.  They never planned for him to survive this long, but because he has, the plot of this movie has moved from conspiracy theory to fact, and that realization has been terrifying to people.

You could hear it in Nicole Shanahan’s and Robert F. Kennedy’s voices as they moved from an independent ticket after quitting the Democrat Party and running for president, only to join Trump in those efforts.  She was recently on the Glenn Beck Show explaining why California Democrats are joining the Republican Party behind President Trump, and it was fascinating to hear.  These are the people in that Millennium Falcon cockpit who are wondering if that small moon was a massive space station run by an oppressive galactic government.  And they are realizing now that it is, and they want to turn the ship around and escape.  But there is no escape.  Now they want to join people who can help them fight this menace.  The same could be said of Tulsi Gabbard, who has been turning away from the Death Star for several years, starting as a Democrat Congresswoman and evolving into an independent supporting President Trump with an endorsement and even helping campaign with him.  And we all know how this movie ends.  All the heroes are joining to fight a mutual enemy and save the day.  At this point, I think that is more than an optimistic appraisal.  Yes, the machine has been running in the background, but its power is in secrecy.  Once people know what’s going on, they can attack and destroy it, which is the essential plot of the Star Wars movies.  The power of the bad guys is in secrecy, and what they conceal behind masks, such as the character of Darth Vader or the Emperor, a Sith Lord pretending to be a typical senator serving his constituents, is the real threat.

The new Disney Star Wars movies don’t understand this because they are part of that machine.  Even in Star Wars, the bad guys think they are doing the right things, and we must know that many of the tyrants of the World Economic Forum and the United Nations think they are on the right side of history.  But what is at threat is something that everyone can agree on, and even Democrats are seeing it these days.  If people like Nicole Shanahan are seeing it, you know there are a lot of traditional Democrats who are also seeing it, and they are going to be voting for President Trump.  These aren’t the kinds of things that polling traditionally captures in its analysis.  Should we turn away from the Death Star or not?  That’s not a typical polling question, so what’s going to end up happening is that there will be a massive turnout for Trump that is not being noticed at this point in the movie.  But destroying the machine is something everyone can rally behind, and that is what the 2024 election has become all about.  And Kamala Harris and her cackling communists are the Darth Vaders who pose a threat to the world.  And that world is uniting behind President Trump.  It’s not that any of this is new.  But people see it for what it is.  Perhaps that is the point of the big picture: people had to go through all this to appreciate the real threat in the world.  Kamala Harris isn’t a person; she’s a machine, and Constitutional principles do not bind the people who run her.  So, to them, there is no Bill of Rights and no American sovereignty.  There is only service to the system of tyranny of global politics.  And nobody wants that, especially now that they see that was the threat.  We didn’t see it fast enough, and that machine captured us.  But the point of the movie and life is to escape from that machine and, ultimately, destroy it so it can never threaten us again.  When they raided him at his home, prosecuted him, and threatened him with jail, then they tried to kill him and missed, the Empire showed who they were.  And now people from all kinds of backgrounds and political beliefs are rallying behind Trump for the destruction of the Death Star, once and for all, before that threat turns on them too as it always does.

The Bible Will ‘Make America Great Again’: Our infrastructure is already in place, we just need to drop the experiment of secular society–it has been a disaster

You can’t do it, have a secular culture, and expect society to adhere to values.  Specifically, America was founded as a Christian nation.  Our laws were formed around Biblical ideals.  Without those values driving our decision-making process, the wheels fall off entirely.  This separation of church and state was an attack on the concept of American life, not a way to protect it from various ideas.  If we want to Make American Great Again, the Bible must be at our culture’s core.  We can be tolerant of other cultures and religious beliefs, but to have common footing and a value system people can believe in, we must turn to the Bible to establish a foundation that mass society can start with as a means of acquiring proper social behavior.  I have been saying this for a while now, and the evidence is obvious.  Without Biblical concepts to drive society, it flies apart quickly.  Regarding the Jewish traditions of the Ten Commandments, which are the foundation for our entire law and order society, we should look back now with the benefit of hindsight at the start of the problem, the removal of the Bible from our legislative process.  The people who wanted to do that understood what they were strategically doing.  They didn’t want America to survive or thrive.  They tried to destroy our country and our values, and the first place they started was with the religious foundation of the country, to begin with, and disguised their efforts as a “protection of free speech.”  To use free speech as a means to destroy free speech.  We have been dealing with some real bad guys up to substantial no good, and it’s time we go in the other direction.  If we want to establish law, order, and social value, the Bible is our best option as a mass society.

A lot of people have been mad at me for my statements about the Bible needing to be the center of our society.  I am probably more tolerant of other people’s religions and beliefs than most are.  I am sure the average person doesn’t interact with people from all over the world with as much diversity in belief as I do on a daily basis.  And I’ve heard all the atheist arguments regarding God from the Ayn Rand Objectivism, which is OK for specifying the value of money and how it measures worth in society.  Separating the element of God from those kinds of discussions helps make a point of what value is and how people should conduct themselves.  When the Bible was written, and before the idea of free people was contemplated as a reality, money was handled by those exerting power over others.  That still occurs around much of the world, but in America, the concept of wealth creation has a moral element that preserves individual liberty.  Money doesn’t usher in the roots of all evil into a people who should be worshipping Yahweh with sacrifices and a bent knee.  We’re not talking about subservience to a deity as much as we are expressing the values and lessons of the human race since the beginning of time, more than 10,000 years of evolution.  Once America was formed on Biblical concepts as a free nation fleeing the religious persecution of Europe, things started to work out very well with the human race.  Cleon Skousen’s 5000 Year Leap understands this concept very well.  Until those elements of Biblical value combined with individual freedom, the entire human race was in a desperate state that continued to rise and fall throughout history.  It’s not an accident that the Jewish people became the longest-lasting group to survive for such a long period.  Because the ideas about how to structure society, from judges to rulers to everyday conduct, worked as they were written in the Bible.  And our civilization flourished accordingly.

I’ve tried accommodating people’s secular sentiments, but it doesn’t work.  I’ve been there for a while, especially in watching how angry so many people who are rooting for the failure of America to happen have been toward President Trump.  I wouldn’t say that Trump has been over his life an example of moral compunction.  Like many people, he came to it through experience and necessity.  Trump was very much living the life of a Hugh Hefner Playboy type.  It only took him a few wives to start figuring it out, and Melania has been good for him.  It probably took a few years to work out that lifestyle of not being a playboy, and as a result, a more biblical perspective became an increasing part of his life.  But as he ran for president, the resistance to him pushed him in that direction for the better, and he has turned out to be a pretty good person as a result.  If you have looked at his books written since he was president, books from Winning Team Publishing like ‘Our Journey Together’ “Letters to Trump, and this latest one, which is fantastic, ‘Save America,’ you will see more than the journey of a presidency from campaign status to fulfillment and a real representative of the American lifestyle in a moral way.  A person’s journey growing into actual Biblical value, like a character from the Bible called to do God’s work. 

I was thinking about all this while serving as a foreman for a grand jury.  It was my job to swear in all the witnesses, and they gave me a card that said on one side, “So help me God.”  On the other, it removed God from the sentence and was intended for more secular types.  After hearing from hundreds of witnesses over several weeks and listening to the many criminal cases presented, it was obvious the root cause of much of it was the lack of biblical value in our society that was put there with progressive politics.  Only a few months before my grand jury service, I had just traveled to Japan for the second time in six months. I was exposed to the nightlife of Kyoto, complete with the traditional dress they have there. I saw a lot of temples and the burning of incense where people openly worshipped the religion of Shinto, which involves the worship of kami, spirits that inhabit everything.  There isn’t much crime in Japan, and they thrive. Much of that is caused by their understanding of the social values provided by the Shinto religion.  There are shrines everywhere; it’s impossible to walk around too far in Japan and not have exposure to Shinto worship.  It reminded me that much of our infrastructure for religious value is already in place in America.  You can hardly go anywhere in America without seeing a church.  During my grand jury service, I didn’t have to use the back of the card to swear people in.  Everyone I swore in seemed to like how I said, “So help you, God.”  That’s why we traditionally have people put their hand on a Bible to swear them in, it’s a testament to the values contained within it.  Based on what we know now and what we have learned from other cultures that have not embraced some ridiculous concept of secular law and order, a biblical foundation is crucial to Making America Great Again.  All we need to do is accept what we have learned about social order and apply it accordingly, and things will restore to proper conduct quickly.

Australia’s Dumb New Law: Right to Disconnect

In the spirit of Labor Day, which is the holiday I hate the most, we need to have a talk about the ridiculously dumb Australian law, Right to Disconnect which they just passed there at the end of August 2024.  The world needs to be working more, not less.  And this socialist trend of encouraging people to sit around looking at the walls all day is a terribly destructive one.  The world doesn’t need more dumb laws like this one that enables the world to be lazier.  Labor Day, to me, is essentially a celebration of laziness, a union concept of work stoppages holding productivity hostage unless management recognizes the workers’ limits to performing tasks.  It is poison to the human race to think such things, and at the core of all these ridiculous laws are horrible people fighting for the right to be unproductive. Instead, I think we need to be going in the opposite direction.  We need to work harder and more often.  We need to extend our work day hours and work more days of the week than we do now because productive enterprise is very much needed.  Additionally, I think our five-day workweek is ridiculously short.  And I think people should work more than 8 hours per day.  I have always worked more than 8 hours per day.  I often work seven days a week, so let me say I am a happy person.  Leaving work undone is what makes me unhappy.  So, I can’t imagine a happy world restricting itself in productivity.  It’s the wrong message, and anybody suggesting such a lazy life should be ridiculed.  The Australians proposing this Marxist trend of disconnecting from work to produce a sane society shows just how out of touch they are with the needs of the world. 

What to tell lazy people using Marxism to get out of hard work.

As usual, free market enterprise should be at play here.  Those who work more often and spread out among the population should be rewarded appropriately.  If people want to work more, they should be rewarded with more stuff.  And again, this idea that “stuff” can’t make you happy is more communism and Marxist ideas from people who are at their heart lazy and not the kind of people anybody should be listening to.  It’s essentially the government restricting their productivity through mass collective effort.  Whenever workers propose less work or else, we see a terrorist incursion to our means of production, and the intention is to manage all such rights under the power of collective government to restrict output.  And if people want output, then demands under collective bargaining must be met.  However, not all people are the same.  Some people get tired of sitting around looking at the walls doing nothing, and they want to do more work.  They want to go out and earn money.  Because they want more stuff, they want to pay off their house.  They want a nice car.  They may want a more attractive spouse.  Who wants to be married to a slug?  Someone who would rather play video games all day rather than work and make money?  People need to work more so that a country can have a better GDP.  However, this Australian strategy encourages the world to work less so everyone can be less productive.  That’s the spirit of their new legislation.  No wonder they are an armpit down there and only have any population on the east coast.  What a waste of good land and space. 

Oh, I’ve heard it before: ” If not for the labor unions, those big mean companies would work people to death.”  Wrong. What kills people and society is less work, not more of it. People need to be productive to truly feel good about themselves. This notion that people need all this downtime is ridiculous.  I often love traveling in Japan; people there work hard.  Even when you have a taxi pick you up at the airport, the drivers universally run to open the door for you and make sure you get where you are going without much delay.  Because they appreciate hard work there, which is common in Asian cultures, don’t mind working hard, and usually, they have strong families as well because they work at it.  And that is never going to go away.  When people in the West profess to work less, they are cutting their throats, and the Marxists, I would say, are well aware of it.  Most still hope the globalist union movement will put them on top of world management and central government.  But what will end up happening is that they will end up behind as a result, and Asian cultures, through wealth redistribution, will fill the market void with actual hard work.  The human need for work can be filled with robots and AI, but the demand for things to happen will always be present.  The most successful cultures will be those who do the most work and can maintain their sanity best. Presently, especially in the West, there are too many lazy people playing video games and smoking pot, which is the point where we should consider it a national security risk under every definition.  Who needs a military invasion of a country when you can destroy it from within with more laws against work?  The primary reason America conquered other nations in World War II was that we could out produce against the rest of the world.  And that is still the reason America has the top GDP of any country, even though there are fewer people to do that work. 

I mentioned video games a few times here. I have been playing a lot of Call of Duty lately because I have grandchildren who like to interact with my wife and me through video games.  And I take time to play them to spend time with them.  But it’s evident to me how dangerous this modern video game culture is; we’re not talking about Pac-Man or Space Invaders here, where you play the game for 15 or 20 minutes.  Then you go back to your life.  No, these are all-day excursions, and people work hard to level up on these modern games.  People are taking the effort very seriously.  And I can’t help but think how misapplied it all is.  The natural state of the human being is to be thoughtful and productive.  Whenever you repress those notions about life, you find unhappy people who develop all kinds of emotional problems.  This video game culture represents the need for hard work in every human being’s life, which has replaced effort with waste.  Some people get good at these video games, but to what end?  Will they be able to buy a new house or a new car?  Put savings in the bank?  Of course not.  And for a government to tell its people to work less.  We will penalize employers for providing opportunities beyond eight hours of need per day or more than five days of working per week.  And when people go home, you can’t call them to harass them over work matters.  I’ve been on vacation in exotic places and always took the time to have a business call.  If my family was with me, they could do some shopping while I worked through issues.  After 20 minutes, we’d be back to our vacation and happy.  And work was done.  This idea that people should disconnect from work to be satisfied is insane.  But it’s what the Australians are proposing for their life.  And I would say in response that it’s no wonder they are such losers.  They don’t want to work, and no wonder they are an armpit of a country that is last in just about every category of human endeavor.  They need to be working more, not less, as is the case with most of the human race, except the Asian cultures, who aren’t going to pass “right to disconnect” legislation any time soon.  Likely for them, never.
