The Comeback of Adam Smith Capitalism: What the economy will look like beyond 2024

Included here is a picture of Adam Smith from Scotland, where his Wealth of Nations was born, which I consider one of the most outstanding books ever written. It just so happens to be about economics and is the secret sauce to America’s great economy and why it has been at the top of the world. Many countries have many more people in them or even have more mineral resources. But for some reason, America has produced more economic wealth than any other place, anywhere, at any time. Even with all the big government restrictions that come from these socialist intrusions over the last century, significant government types have tried to ride the camel of productivity while at the same time imposing Marxism on them. America still outproduces the rest of the world in fundamental, economic value. So, the Wealth of Nations is an essential book written in 1776. But I also keep talking about Johan Norberg’s recent 2023 book, The Capitalist Manifesto, because it’s a really good book. Not necessarily from a conservative American perspective. But he’s from Sweden and he talks about IKEA a lot, but from a European liberalized mindset, he’s preaching the benefits of capitalism that I thought the left would never dare utter. And he’s doing it in an effort to save the concept of globalism from its massive failure of attaching itself to global communism. He sees, much the way Adam Smith tried to convince everyone, that capitalism is the best means of helping the most people, and in The Capitalist Manifesto, Norberg puts forth in a written and non-boring way, all the benefits capitalism has brought to the world over time and makes his case for everyone to get it for reference to the future of all global economies.

A statue of Adam Smith in Scotland

I was an economics major in college, but I was miserable. They were teaching Marxism, and I was far away from that vantage point, so it was painful, and through most of my adult life, I have worked in the opposite direction of all academics. I also found Adam Smith’s work to be my favorite, and I have rejected all forms of Keynesian economics from centralized authorities, which Smith also argued against. And over the years to feed my sentiments, I have enjoyed the work of Ayn Rand because as a Russian who lost everything to communism in her home country and had to flee to America to have a shot at a decent life, she understood Adam Smith too. But I was always the odd person over in the corner standing against the tide of globalism that we were all told was going to move in a noticeably communist direction, with China being the model that globalism created. So I can’t tell you how happy I am to have lived long enough to see that whole Marxist empire die in front of our faces. You could see the last gasp of it when Xi from China visited Biden in San Francisco late in 2023 for a kind of communist summit. Globalism was trying hard to show that they had reached the finish line. But due to populism yearning for Adam Smith capitalism, the water is flowing through their cupped hands fast, to the point where soon there will be nothing left to drink from. Looming in the background of all this political activity is the return from exile of President Trump, he has a vicious plan to end globalism as it has been proposed, and economic advocates like Johan Norberg see the writing on the wall, that if the world of liberals wish to save their hard work at establishing globalism, that they were going to have to throw the towel in and adapt capitalism, quickly.

I do read many books, about three of them the size of Norberg’s book a week.  But after I got through The Capitalist Manifesto about a third of the way, I considered it the most important book about economics since Adam Smith.  And I say that knowing that Norberg and I would likely see eye to eye on very little, politically.  But this book is a glaring admission that I know a lot of my old college professors would probably commit suicide over.  I would get so angry at their sheer stupidity that I would jump into just about every risky business proposal that came my way to shake off the stink of it all.  But I learned a lot in the process that is what we might say, unique to the present marketplace.  So, it all worked out in the end.  And I can see where Norberg is going even as the people on the political side of Norberg found Ayn Rand to be the incarnation of the Devil in all the details.  This was all a mainstream admission that the only way to save global markets was to adopt capitalism, purely and without much micromanagement, which is a massive statement from any economic circle.  It’s one that I have known about for decades, and it cost me much trouble to be on the side of pure markets while the rest of the world was moving toward various degrees of Marxism, from the stock market to the making of plastic baseballs in China. 

So, boys and girls, this is the question of the century, the answer all wrapped up into one, and the reason that Norberg published his book at this particular time.  What happens in 2024 and 2025 and beyond economically?  Norberg is not a populist, and he is not a fan of President Trump.  Yet, Trump is the leader of the political world, all over the world, despite all these attempts by globalists to keep their dead duck alive by trying to destroy Trump.  And revenge is coming once he is president again, and the last threads of globalism are as good as gone.  The entire plot of the World Economic Forum and their paper tiger of China will disappear.  That’s why Xi met with Biden.  They all know it’s over.  National capitalism will have to make a massive comeback, which will impact all the global markets attached to communism, which will be allowed to die on the vine to separate itself from the market flow of America.  That is where America is heading; for a while, we will close our borders and let the rest of the world rot on the last vestiges of globalism as envisioned by Tragedy and Hope (the book).  And if the world wants to survive, it will have to start thinking like Norberg and, fundamentally, getting to know Adam Smith better.  The Karl Marx experiment driven by all the Masonic lodges was a massive failure, and now people like Johan Norberg must fess up to it, which makes his book, The Capitalist Manifesto, the most important book of our time.  I can’t recommend it enough because it is the roadmap for the rest of this century.  And it all starts with what Trump will do in America once he’s reelected.  And the world struggles to catch up, which will be very hard for them.  But do, they must, if they want to survive the world that is coming.

Judge Lyons Wants to Put Darbi Boddy in Jail: Yet, the Butler County Republican Party desires unity?

It was ironic that at the same precise moment that Judge Lyons was seeking to put Darbi Boddy, a Lakota school board member in jail just for being on school board-related business in Columbus, Ohio where he imposed a restraining order keeping her from Isaac Adi, another school board member, that the Chairman of the Republican Party of Butler County, Ohio was sending out a letter trying to unify the party after a tough election. Here was a prime case of some old washed-up crusty crab who has been trying to destroy a mom with fines and incarceration because Darbi essentially didn’t kiss the ring of Lynda O’Connor, who had just lost the election, and that same GOP endorsed her. Literally, just a few days before, I was at another political event where Isaac was there, and he was telling me how much Darbi was like a sister to him and that he loved her. Yet just a few days later, he and his attorney, another sucker for Lynda O’Connor, were trying to put Darbi in jail while her husband was overseas serving our nation. And they have a child at home forming opinions about the world and she sees all this harassment of her mommy by really ruthlessly diabolical people. Smart judge. Smart Isaac. Isaac wasn’t lying to me, was he? Actions always tell the truth. And to all the other people who have gone way out on a limb of injustice to stand behind Lynda, who positioned everyone for failure out of pure selfishness. As I read that letter from Todd Hall, my phone was constantly going off from a lot of Darbi supporters who wanted to go to war with these people in a very vicious way. Somehow, I don’t think this is the kind of unification Todd was talking about in his letter. But I read it carefully and tried to find something positive about it.

I’ve known Todd Hall for a long time, and I like him. I’ve stood up for him when many people wanted his head in much the way I stand up for Darbi. I like to see good people trying to do good things. If they stumble their feet along the way a bit, I don’t get hung up on it. I judge intent for what it should be, and actions mean a lot in determining that intent. And I understand what Todd Hall wants to do after a tough loss, which is good. To get the Republican Party all pointed in the right direction. The trouble is that everyone has a different opinion about what the right direction is. It is the job of leadership, no matter if it’s a political party, a company, or a sports team to figure out what “right” is and get a team accomplishing it together. And in the Butler County Republican Party, over the last several years, Jennifer Edwards at Fox 19 is always there to stoke the fires, as I warned everyone about. She doesn’t do to Democrats what she does to Republicans. She was again pushing the Darbi story in Butler County just as she did the story against Roger Reynolds where Sheriff Jones went after him, and other people completely maliciously, just to show power over other rivals within the party. When power becomes more important to these teammates, any organization is destined to fail; in this case, voters have been taking notice. And Todd tried to point that out in his letter with motivational quotes to get everyone’s attention. But one particular quote I thought was especially relevant and was the point of the entire letter:

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships – Michael Jordan.

That sounds generic enough, but there is a good story to this. Everyone knows Michael Jordan was probably the greatest NBA player ever to live, in a time when people liked professional basketball before the league started eating from the hands of communist China. But while Jordan was with the Bulls, they won six national championships, so obviously, he was essential to the team. But a lot of background stuff went on that allowed Michael Jordan to be all he could. He had teammates like Scottie Pippen, who was always a quiet background player who was excellent in his own way, so he drew double teams away from Jordan and allowed some of those games with such spectacular results. Then there was Dennis Rodman, the crazy character who was always causing trouble and drew a lot of attention, again allowing Michael Jordan to be more of what his talents could provide to their full extent. Then there was the coach, Phil Jackson, who had a unique leadership ability to get all those crazy characters pointed toward wins on the court when, if left to their own devices, they would likely have flown apart and destroyed each other. Putting all those unique personalities together in one place without fights is tough. But a good leader like Jackson was able to, and the results were evident, as Todd Hall pointed out in his letter. Perhaps he was thinking about teamwork generically; even Michael Jordan needed a team. But it’s more than that; it’s a leadership element that is the most desired in the world, much more than gold or any precious metal, winning leadership, no matter what organization we are discussing. The Chicago Bulls had it; teams that had Tom Brady on them had it. We see it in specific companies, entertainment, music, and art. And we see it in politics with President Trump.

Rob here is Judge Lyons and these are the kind of people we are dealing with
Looks like Kerry told on these three

When you don’t have your version of Phil Jackson in a leadership role but have lots of wild personalities on a team, like Dennis Rodman, Michael Jordan, and Scottie Pippen, winning isn’t guaranteed.  Great talent can do what great talent does, but wins are hard to come by without leadership.  Someone should have told Judge Lyons and Sheriff Jones that being a bunch of stingy old mustache men with about five minutes left in their careers isn’t enough.  They should be recruiting new, bright people so the Republican Party can win next week, next month, and next year.  But after the way people have seen how the GOP has treated Darbi; who in their right mind would want to play for that team?  Who wants to be thrown in jail because they refused to kiss the ring of some egomaniac that is only in politics because they don’t have that kind of respect anywhere else?  Once they step out of politics and go to Ace Hardware to buy some nails for the house, people stop saying hi to them and treating them like local celebrities.  So they seek personal fulfillment in destructive ways, bringing the party down which reflect in losses at the ballot box.  If the Republican Party isn’t giving the public wins, then people aren’t interested.  And that was what fueled the Chicago Bulls when Jordan was playing there.  Without the successes, they would have just been another team.  But what we have now is a Butler County Republican Party run by older relics hanging on to their past who are jealous of the young, beautiful people, and they aren’t interested in winning.  They are interested in the power of their position.  And if they are shown disrespect, they want to put their critics in jail.  That is precisely what happened to the former Butler County auditor, Roger Reynolds.  And that’s what they are trying to do to Darbi Boddy and many others who are challenging the old farts with playing time, looking for a victory.  But victory isn’t essential to the Republican Party, and the public is losing interest.  And it will take more than a letter from Todd Hall to fix any of that.

‘The Capitalist Manifesto’ by Johan Norberg: Admitting to the only economic system that helps people the most

The change of view of economic fundamentals from the political left

After reading Johan Norberg’s book The Capitalist Manifesto: Why the Global Free Market Will Save the World, I’ll admit to a substantial flood of satisfaction. I mean this wasn’t Ayn Rand, it was a kind of Ikea view of capitalism, but the message was quite clear. I’ve read other books by Johan Norberg and he’s pretty good for what I’d consider a lefty. He’s conservative by European standards, but in America, we have very different ideas of what a liberal is. But to Johan, a liberal means less restriction in market economies in a region that has always been about tyranny, the tyranny of the church, the tyranny of some maniacal king, or secret societies trying to undo everything in the background. The lunatic Karl Marx conceived in Europe the birthplace of socialism and communism. I would never have read the book if I hadn’t seen Elon Musk recommend it. I’m not a fan of Elon Musk. I want him to do well with SpaceX. He makes a good car, but he’s not my idea of a good leader. But he is the richest person in the world, and I have thought it interesting to watch him grow his political perspective to accommodate his needs to move humanity into space and set up a colony on Mars. He has learned quite ostentatiously that a socialist Biden government with Barack Obama still whispering in his ear is never going to get Musk where he wants SpaceX to go. It takes too long to obtain permits, and the Department of Labor constantly harasses him because Musk doesn’t allow unionized labor to manage his manufacturing facilities. So Musk has evolved over time and seems to have fully embraced capitalism now in ways that are pace setting. There are a lot of very interesting observations in The Capitalist Manifesto that are quite delicious and well worth talking about. I think it may be one of the most important books of 2023, and it is undoubtedly impactful to the world’s current circumstances.

A very important book

I’ve been talking about this kind of stuff for many years so the change in tone is not lost on me.  What The Capitalist Manifesto is by Norberg is a confession intended for liberals to read that undoes over a century of lunacy in following Karl Marx.  This is not a book intended for the MAGA crowd in America but the many socialists and communists around the world who still are trying to work The Communist Manifesto into political sustainability.  I remember how vicious that media, in general, was when I worked with the producers of the movie Atlas Shrugged to get the message out about their film version of the Ayn Rand books that were famous around the world but were labeled conspiracy theories of the radical right.  So this Johan Norberg confession is no small matter.  It wasn’t written for me or the fans of Ayn Rand, it was written to the college liberal, the Keynesian economist and the diabolical politician getting rich off the Swamp and all its globalist mechanisms.  Norberg has figured out something that the political left has been very slow to admit to: socialism of any kind doesn’t work.  And it was never going to work, and that capitalism, by free people, the freer, the better, is the key to unlocking the powers of any economy.  This is a CATO Institute view of the world that offers a flood of statistics to show just how much better the world is because of capitalism than it is under any other kind of authoritarian approach.  Norberg presents a dizzying display of real-world examples that everyone needs to come to grips with because we now have enough data to make some sobering judgments.

The Capitalist Manifesto was Norberg trying to explain to global liberals that if they want globalism and if they’re going to fight populism, they had better embrace capitalism and do it quickly.  He’s certainly no fan of President Trump, who he sees as a threat to the global order because he’s a nationalist who wants to close the borders of America to outside influence, to turn in instead of migrating out.  But the impact of financial systems driven by political sentiments couldn’t be more obvious.  This book was a white flag from the radical leftist points of view that capitalism was the only solution to global problems such as poverty.  There is no other economic approach that has improved the lives of so many, and as if to solidify critical opinion about capitalism, Johan Norberg cites many instances where Bernie Sanders and Karl Marx himself admitted that capitalism is the best and only way to approach economic theory.  And to argue against any notion that centralized planning does anything but harm people economically and is a background contributor to many of life’s many miseries.  This was a book attempting to capture the MAGA message of free markets in America and stamp liberalism to it as if it was their idea all along.  Again, Norberg has kind of an Ikea view of the world; I wouldn’t call Sweden a bastion of capitalism.  They only look that way because the rest of Europe has the heavy fog of communism and socialism hanging over it in such a devastating way.  America has an expectation of freedom that Europe does not have.  But to even say the word “capitalism” in Europe is taboo, similar to saying that your father has a mistress or that mom is wearing red panties under her white dress to church.  Nobody has been willing to admit these secrets in public until now. 

As I closed the book, I realized I had just read something that would set the tone for the next several decades.  It was a victory in many ways that the enemies of the world understood that they would never win against capitalism.  And that even liberal-minded people like Musk and Norberg, who are poster children for the World Economic Forum, or at least had been until the realities of populism rising around the world forced them to look in the mirror and give up on Marxism wholesale.  The Capitalist Manifesto is not an American book.  I tried to buy a copy at my local Barnes and Noble, but they didn’t have it.  The book ships out of the United Kingdom, so we’re not discussing an American product trying to explain capitalism’s values to the world.  This is coming from a European perspective, where socialism was born and raised to the detriment of most of the world.  Johan Norberg understands that only capitalism has worked to solve many of the problems that Democrats and their many versions regionally are concerned with.  The only way to help people is to find a way to put more money in their pockets that doesn’t involve the government stealing it from people who have made money and giving it to people who were too lazy to work for it.  I can’t recommend this book enough; it’s an avalanche of admissions that culture must embrace.  And within its pages, we can see the future, where liberals are finally going to get on the side of conservatives because they must.  They may even try to steal capitalism as their own, which would be expected of them.  But whatever the case, the world will change for the better as a result, and things will look a whole lot different economically, in a good way, in the decades to come because of the admissions in this book.

The Problem with Peace: When sperm find themselves in the wrong place

I’m not a big Jesus guy, I love his dad. But I’m not OK with the peace and love that Jesus is always talking about in the New Testament. This idea of the Fall in the Garden being redeemed by Jesus dying on the cross for all our sins sounds to me like a Greek and Roman desire politically to control the mass population for the preservation of their imperial perspective. I prefer the Old Testament and the wrath of Yahweh to the anti-ownership and anti-wealth sentiment in the New Testament. I grew up with such religious assumptions, but over the years and after traveling a time or two to Asia to see things for myself, I think there is a big piece of the story in the Bible that is missing from its regional perspective, which is directly applicable and is being exploited in a very modern way. I think Jesus studied the Hindu religion as it is articulated by the blue skin of the poisoned Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, which is essentially part of book 6 of the Mahabharata. The Hindu religion actually goes back to the days of Abraham emerging from Mesopotamia, so these influences along the Silk Road are pretty obvious, and so are the many contextual references to Jesus in the many war-torn areas of that part of the world that seem very intent to conceal this information. Apparently, the Vatican knows all about Jesus studying in India, and by the time he came along, Buddhism was already 500 years old. So the New Testament starts to make a lot more sense when you understand how its perspective was influenced along the Silk Road, which is a vast span of territory that is mysteriously not part of modern Archaeology and is war-torn even though there really isn’t much going on there economically these days. So why so much war and terrorism?

Peace is for suckers. I love the God of the Old Testament

I find value in just about all religions, even Islam.  If it helps people relate to higher concepts, it’s wonderful.  But we must consider the political implications of faith and how they are often weaponized to rule large groups of people, and that is what I see emerging out of Hindu religions and Buddhism.  Not by device, but by default.  I heard a joke the other day about sperm that provoked all this contemplation that is actually very relevant.  It becomes our business because just about every rock band that we’ve had for decades points to India and specifically the Hindu and Buddhist faith, and says we should calm ourselves down and be more like them.  Even in Christianity, we are told to be more like Jesus, including the Jesus movement that came along during the hippie era, Jesus Christ Superstar, and the Helter Skelter cult.  Jim Jones and many crazed religious lunatics have taken this passive value toward life and become maniacal dictators of personal destruction.  I know a lot of Hindu people, and I’ve read all their religious texts, and I’m not a fan.  I don’t like Gandhi.  And I’m not a fan of Jesus offering to sacrifice himself for the benefit of all humanity.  I think everyone has read it all wrong from the very start, and to understand that, we have to understand the vast influence that the Old Silk Road had in our history and what role it still plays today.   My suggestion is that the war in the Near and Middle East is purposeful to conceal the vast history of the most enormous land mass on earth.  Meanwhile, we’re supposed to keep our focus on just European history and the Renaissance, and the efforts of the Greeks and Romans to create civilization.

So the joke goes like this, and I’m sure many people have heard this, but I think it’s very relevant to these religions of peace that are so prevalent and wrong for the human race.  A couple of sperm find themselves injected into a situation, and they are eager to find an egg for the fertilization process, as we understand these things from sex ed.  It takes thousands of sperm, but only one will penetrate the egg, and a life is born—the miracle of life.  So here are a few sperm injected into a sexual union, and they are looking for an egg.  One is ambitious and works hard to beat the other sperm to the prize.  But there is a wise sperm who is saying to the ambitious one, “Why are you working so hard.”  Of course, the ambitious sperm says, “I want to be the first to get to the egg.”  But the wise sperm says, “But dude, we’re inside some dude’s “exit.”  There is no egg, so why try?”  To frame a homosexual experience nicely.    That is the essential message behind the Hindu faith, Zoroastrianism, as it developed in Iran in 600 BC.  Buddhism as it developed in 500 BC.  Jesus started Christianity due to studying in those many lost years in India, in the Kashmir region 500 years later.  Islam would come along 600 years after that as an aggressive religion invented by the Arabs as a reaction to their continued occupation by the Romans, who went underground as an empire and became a church intent to rule over Europe and the world.  We have falsely centered our study on the Mediterranean region when we should have looked at the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea all over the Himalayas.  Many people were displaced by war, and they had developed a means to deal with its many disappointments—the religions of indifference, peace, and non-action. 

So what are we dealing with here, a vast conspiracy of Bilderberg, World Economic Forum, or Rothchild manipulations who have constructed all these religions to control mass society and perpetually keep wars going in the region to prevent anybody from learning the truth?  Because they want the masses to adopt peaceful beliefs and not fight back against their intrusion.  I’d say it goes deeper into that and was best explained by Paul in the Book of Ephesians when these manipulators were identified as “principalities.”  These creatures work to undo the world God made and stand against goodness as defined by the perpetuation of the human race, as chronicled in the Old Testament, which is older than all the mentioned religions.  My argument is that these principalities have plotted against Yahweh for many thousands of years, and many of the conflicts that are dealt with today are directly associated.  When Jesus and the rest of the Hindus sought to get away from the mess in the mountains of the Himalayas and started so many religions that developed along the Silk Road, they all missed the point.  The goal of life is not to avoid reaching the egg and create a new life.  All the sperm should at least try, even if they are in the wrong place.  It’s not their fault; they should still try to do what they were designed to do: create a new life.  The purpose of humans is to fight and develop as a result of battlefield victory, so in that regard, peace is bad for civilization.  I can understand what Jesus and the Hindus were after.  Buddhism is a great way to manage stress in life.  But like the wise sperm who knew where he was and pointed out the pointless task in front of them, all creatures should fully embrace their job in the hopes that one of them will reach an egg and bring forth new life, either in a physical form or perhaps only in an idea.  But in creation, everything should be dedicated.  Which the Hindu perspective of “non-action” stands against.

Prove Me Wrong: What the Lakota School Board should do over the next six weeks of 2023

I was at an event just a few days after the election of 2023 for Bernie Marino.  He was at Lori’s Roadhouse with J.D. Vance, ahead of the upcoming Republican primary, for a pitch session, and I saw a lot of great area Republicans who had come out to support him, which was great.  It was the first time since Lynda O’Connor had suffered such a massive defeat for another term on the Lakota school board and tempers were still pretty hot that I had worked with the “No Lynda” people to keep her from winning.  And it was the first time we all had a chance to talk, which we did.  Many people thought that I had created a monster by keeping a conservative off the school board, and now a liberal monstrosity had been unleashed with an overtly Democrat school board that was going to take Lakota school’s quarter of a billion-dollar budget and bring about doom and despair.  I explained to them that the excuses were now gone. Let’s see what they do over the next six weeks at Lakota. No more elections. No more motivation for the politics of personal destruction. It has been my opinion that Lynda O’Connor was never a conservative but was only pretending to be one to win support. When she had control of the board and the votes, she attacked Darbi Boddy to avoid proper district management. Now that she has lost re-election, she can work with Isaac and Darbi to implement real conservative ideas into Lakota. Let’s see how they behave. If they really care about the community and the Republican Party, they’ll put their differences aside while they still can. But I don’t think they will because it was never a conservative school board in the first place.

That idea of unity came to me after Isaac Adi approached me to tell me that he forgave me for all the disparaging things I had said about him.  He wondered why I didn’t reach out to him more to get the truth of the situation, and he explained to me that as an insider, things look much different than they do on the outside and that I was an outsider.  So I couldn’t understand everything clearly and his feelings were hurt.  I reminded him I had sat down with him previously, and the meeting didn’t go well.  And we haven’t spoken ever since.  If I spent time sitting down with everyone I had an issue with, I would never get anything done.  With me, once you lose me, you lose me pretty much forever.  I’m not such an outsider as many would like to comfort themselves.  I know pretty much something about everything, and when it comes to the Lakota school board, I know all the characters and the situation very well.  I have over 30 years of experience, so I know what’s going on, I also understand what’s going on in executive session.  Lynda O’Connor and I used to work quite closely together and while we’re talking about hurt feelings, it bothers me that she thought I was a sucker like she clearly thought of everyone else, that she could con me into believing she wanted to do conservative things on the school board, and that her relationship with me was purely to neutralize my strong opinions.

I’ll talk to anybody who wants to talk, so I spent more time with Isaac than I intended to because he wanted to give his side of the story.  I had just spoken to Darbi Boddy, who was also there, but she saw Isaac sitting next to J.D. Vance at this spectacular event, and she had to leave because of the court order that Judge Lyons got suckered into because of Lynda’s provocations, and I could see the pain on her face.  Everyone had ganged up on her and treated her as an outcast for doing her job on the school board in the way that people elected her to do it.  I don’t like to see people treated the way she has, and it wasn’t easy to listen to Isaac talk about his role in trying to destroy her.  But as he was speaking about peace and forgiveness, I thought it would be a good idea if all three of them could pull it together for the next several weeks to do excellent conservative work for the Lakota school board before the next session comes into play.  If the liberals want to undo it all, let them, and let them own the results.  I listened to Isaac talk; he’s a likable person.  But I have also known a lot of salespeople over the years, and much of our conversation was similar to that of a time-share salesman who wanted a commitment to buy.  And I was just there for the free orange juice.  Once I saw the place he was selling, I couldn’t help but think of the cat urine in the corner that smelled the site up and distracted me from the palm trees outside.  I was a hard pass on working with any of these people anymore, except for Darbi.  But for the good of all those friends of mine who were hurt by the election results, it’s always good to come up with ideas everyone can be happy with if you can. 

I think the best way to prove to everyone that we never had a conservative Lakota school board was to encourage everyone to work together for the remainder of the year.  Put the differences aside and do what they should have done that first month when Isaac and Darbi were sworn in and handed the board’s presidency to Lynda.  From there, Lynda went on a path of personal destruction against Darbi for reasons many people don’t understand.  I think it’s because she had to hide the fact that she was never a conservative and was hiding that from her supporters by playing the victim.  But instead of embracing that role like a kid who couldn’t wait to get that Red Ryder BB gun on Christmas Day only to open it and find out that they suddenly didn’t like guns, she instead moved on to the next shiny object, a Barbi dream house of progressive liberalism. I want to keep my enemies in front of me, so Julie Shaffer and this Doug Horton Dr. Seuss guy are at least what they advertised.  I may find their politics despicable, but it’s essentially the same as Lynda without the pretend conservatism.  But I’d love to be wrong.  There is no reason to fight now; the election is over, and Lynda will be gone from the school board.  So, if she genuinely wanted to leave a conservative mark, what’s stopping her now?  She is still the board president.  She still has three votes to do good things while it lasts.  Why not do it?  My offering to all those who have talked to me about it is that Darbi was her excuse for not doing anything.  After getting to know her, she purposely pushed Darbi so that she could always point to a distraction so she didn’t have to show the other school board members, Kelly Casper and Julie Shaffer, that she wasn’t one of them.  And the Darbi distractions kept the mask on Lynda so that fellow Republicans would never see who she was.  And I say that based on the contents of the last conversation I had with Lynda, something she told me that she probably didn’t intend to.  But prove me wrong; I’d love to be.  However, as history usually points out, I’m not.

Whatever Happened to Eating a Grapefruit: The Depopulation Agenda is very much alive and real

I remember well all the concern over heart attacks and people dying of them that was so prominent in the 80s and 90s.  My dad used to eat a grapefruit most days because he had a stressful job. Our healthcare industry said that if people, especially in business, wanted to live a longer life, they had to take care of their hearts by taking the stress out of their lives and eating certain kinds of fruits.  But have you noticed lately, these last several decades, that the government doesn’t seem to care much if you die unless it is to scare you into supporting more funding for something or some power grab that benefits them?  After the government-mandated vaccines of the Biden administration, a lot of people were suckered into taking them, and it’s quite obvious that there are a lot of people dying early and often in the age group of 20-50 bracket of strange illnesses.  It’s common now to hear of a popular actor or sports figure who is suddenly dying of all kinds of illnesses that usually don’t start killing people until much later in life, and there are a lot of people who would rather look away from this obvious problem.  Suddenly, our government doesn’t seem to care if we drop dead of a heart attack or some other stress-related issue.  It almost seems like they want us to die and that the entire focus on health care, which is another thing I warned about when the government under Obama wanted to seize 1/5 of the whole economy with a socialist power grab in 2010, was on capacity.  How full hospitals were and how we might help the medical labor unions have more rest and not be so stressed out.  Do you see the pattern yet?

Hindsight tells us the truth: the government healthcare analysts never really cared about heart attacks, and they certainly don’t care in a modern sense about hospitals and their often unionized staff, personally.  They were simply medical Marxists operating in the background of our society to slow down our capitalist country so that wealth could be redistributed around the world more “equally.”  A word that Marxists love to use.  Wherever you hear the word, “equality” you are listening to a Marxist radical.  The goal of all the heart attack talk in the period I referred to, from my youth, was to scare business people away from living a stressful 80-hour work week to succeed in a dog-eat-dog world of American capitalism.  They told us to eat a grapefruit and to take some yoga classes so we could learn to quiet our minds and submit to the communist authority intent to take over the world.  They weren’t interested in saving our lives, they wanted to destroy our capitalist society.  And that was the strategy behind Covid years later, to slow down our economy by keeping us home and out of the workplace, which has now gone on for a few years.  There are still a lot of companies in the world that are still accepting COVID protocols, which were completely made up on the back of a napkin by socialists, communists, and overall Marxists to slow the American economy down so that China and other tyrant regimes could catch up and be more equal.  It had nothing to do with saving lives, but threatening those lives so that there would be a behavior change from a capitalist society to a Marxist one.  As a reaction to COVID-19, the government toyed with the unconstitutional idea of mandating vaccines on an entire population, which some people took, believing the government had their best interests in mind. 

As a result, we see a lot of people in the news dying very early over illnesses that don’t usually emerge until people are older, just like the COVID-19 virus that was manufactured in a Wuhan lab in China.  Of course, this has led to the many conspiracy theories that there is a massive depopulation agenda and that people like Bill Gates are spending billions of dollars of their own money to kill people so that all of us pesky humans will save the planet, by dying.  Could there be any truth to that?  Well, of course.  There are many climate change crazies, who also happen to be Marxists, who believe that a centralized state should control production and that the state should limit the impact on the planet to get to essentially a zero-emission economy.  And, of course, anybody who is even a little good at math these days understands what that means, that there can’t be many people alive to have such an economy.  Some people are plotting the death of millions of people because they believe that the planet being saved from them is more important.  And they have been spending their money on projects that intend to depopulate the earth with shortened lives and much less fanfare over every little death that occurs.  Instead, there almost seems to be a bit of a party every time some major celebrity dies now, instead of the mournful regrets from the grapefruit days when heart attacks were to be avoided so people could live longer by slowing down the economy in an overly stressful world.  Now, they just want to slow the economy down by killing off the people who make that economy work. 

Plenty of evidence shows that the various vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna were rushed through the approval process with an almost malicious incompetency. There were all kinds of things wrong with the vaccines that appear to accelerate debilitating illnesses into an eventuality of death, and nobody seems to care. We aren’t measuring things by lives saved, as we used to, but almost like a race to rid the planet of as many people as possible, and many of these depopulation types, such as Bill Gates, are attached to government health care programs and are obsessed with giving people vaccines under the guise of saving lives when the opposite looks to be happening. So, there is no question that many people in positions of power have a depopulation agenda. What has been up to debate is whether they are killing people on purpose or if all this is accidental. The evidence points to all the youthful deaths as being purposeful, and the media reaction to them has been to numb the public and to normalize death. Not to scare people from dying. The Marxists have found a new way of slowing down economies and aligning themselves with a depopulation agenda, especially in Western countries. These are not the days of grapefruit and yoga intent to live long lives. Today’s medical care is filled with Marxists who want to erase as many people from the earth as possible to save the world from humans with a kind of deity worship that hasn’t been seen since the sacrificial cults of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. It’s not science they are after; it’s the appeasement of concealed forces for a sentiment rooted in mass insanity. And it isn’t very productive in our modern world and has not been prosecuted as it should be. We do have people functioning in the world intent on mass murder, and they avoid prosecution by buying up the entire governments that might come after them. And millions of people are dying in the process in ways that mass murder in any previous time could never have imagined.

The truth is getting out. And it’s mainstream now

From the Hebrew Bible Where the Term “Hamas” Came From: The Muslim Brotherhood under Barack Obama was an act of terrorism to destroy Western Civilization and all of us as a result

To understand the story correctly, and how the terrorist organization, the Muslim Brotherhood came to be, you really must go back to a Jewish Bible and understand the purpose of Hamas and how horrendously bad people wish to use the perception of biblical prophecy to terrorize people politically. In the Jewish Bible Genesis 6: 11 it states “The earth has become corrupted before Elohim, and the earth is filled with Hamas” (lawless violence). Of course, we know that the terrorist group of Hamas that has sworn to destroy all the Jewish people from a Palestinian perspective is of the same name, which is completely on purpose. And that’s not the first time such a thing has been done due to biblical response politically. I’ve read the Quaran many times, and I generally think of religions, whatever they are, as beneficial to people on a quest for spiritual enlightenment. But obviously, the purpose of the Quran, written 600 years after the death of Christ, was political. And that same politics is at work for global domination now and we see it blatantly on our nightly news with the war against Israel and the flash mobs of violence that have been erected overnight. That’s because terrorism is baked into the religious argument, and it’s been that way since the beginning. So when malicious characters today want to hide what they are doing, they have baked into the belief system of people push-button terrorism. Just blow on their tempers, set in motion by the religious practice itself, and suddenly, you can have global wars to cover the tracks of crime and international villainy. The Quran, for me, was never a book of peace and love; it was a political response to Roman control of the Arab world, and once they moved toward Christianity, suddenly, there was a book that took many of the Bible stories and recategorized them toward terrorist aims for purely political objectives.

And so I told everyone that the Muslim Brotherhood, connected directly to these international terrorist intentions, moved into our White House with the election of Barack Obama, and it has gained a foothold in our government ever since.  We now see the result when Obama said he fundamentally wanted to change America. It all started in the living room of the domestic American terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn, in Chicago, where they launched the career of a kid who was not born in America; nobody knew who his father was. His mom was a sleep-around lunatic who had attachments to all types of communist radicals.  Barack Obama was perfect for the domestic terrorists to use the mask of racism as a way to freeze the gullible Americans into an attack they could do nothing about, and the intention was to bring America down from within.  Obama was hand-picked right then and there to destroy America first as a senator, and they fast-tracked him into the presidency, manipulating the media behind the scenes to remove any barriers that might get in the way.  And it worked because Americans hadn’t seen that kind of deceit before.  Some of us tried to warn everybody, but until the end of Trump’s term, which was a direct response to the terrorist intentions of Barack Obama, who still whispers in the ear of the hapless fool Joe Biden, people had no context for just how evil some of these people were.  And that was part of the plan, nobody would ever suspect the level of evil we were dealing with.  And in that way, the Muslim Brotherhood, just like Black Lives Matters, and Antifa, was born to act as terrorists against the foundations of American, Jewish/Christian values. 

And it was that same type of arrogance, fueled by the ancient belief in prophecy, such as in the quote I cited in Genesis, that evil, however you define it, was unleashed to conduct its villainy.  I tend to think of the principalities with their own political agenda and always working in the background.  But in front of them are the people we actually deal with, the political characters of the world, and all their varied motivations to rule over all of us, for all different reasons.  The Palestinians behind the Hamas terrorist group have sworn the destruction of the Western world.  And we have certainly seen that behavior from the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States, perpetuated and strengthened by the first two Barack Obama presidencies, and through a stolen election, had their strength rekindled during Joe Biden’s term.  This is ultimately one of the many reasons that there was a stolen election, to facilitate this level of global terrorism that sees a desperate opening in 2023 to advance their plans.  The Hamas terrorists didn’t just parachute into Jewish events and slaughter all those innocent people like it was straight out of the Call of Duty video game because they didn’t have a belief that they would get away with it.  And that such an action would provoke Israel into war, and that war would lay ground cover for the real military objectives in the world, fueled by religious terrorism.  And overnight we had terrorist cells hiding behind free speech, daring us to take it away from them, so that we would, in turn, destroy our own Constitutional foundations, declaring in city streets the destruction of all Western civilization.

And behind it, all in America is the terrorist intentions of the Muslim Brotherhood, not an organization of peace and study for relationships with the afterlife, but international terrorists’ intent, just as Hamas is, to destroy Western Civilization in the same way that Islam was created to destroy Rome.  And there is no peaceful co-existence.  These are people who want war with all of us.  We may be advocates of peace, but they want war and our destruction.  We have let them into our culture under the premise of elected office, under the accusations of racism, and they are deeply penetrated through at least three stolen elections into our government.  As I say often, I knew how corrupt the FBI had become during Obama’s administration when there was that Muslim terrorist event during Christmas in San Bernardino, California.  Remember that one where the FBI let the media into the apartment of the killers to taint the evidence, and they refused to call the couple who performed the mass shooting, Islamic terrorists, which they clearly were, as indicated by what they left behind?  These terrorists aren’t all Muslim, but they do share the kind of hate that was indicated in the Hebrew Bible in Genesis 6:11.  Kings James versions have watered down the language a bit, but the Hamas name didn’t just come from nowhere.  It was meant to invoke terrorism into the Western World, and they have no intention of co-existing with anybody.  And they have no desire for self-preservation, they don’t mind sacrificing themselves to the cause.  And now, because of our acceptance of American terrorists, like the group that came from Bill Ayers and his Weather Underground during his entire adult life, we have a very unstable society that may well break out into war in our streets.  And much of our government is currently sympathetic to those terrorist intentions.  They hate the Christian/Jewish foundations of Western civilization, and they are intent on rotting it from within.  And that is giving them a lot of credit.  They are actually much more vicious than that.

The RINOs Who Helped Pass Issue 1 and Issue 2 in Ohio: Freedom of choice to hide the real evil hiding in the background

After more than 24 hours of review on why Issues 1 and 2 passed in Ohio, the right to kill babies and the pot head legalization measures that were passed by essentially the same margins on Election Night, November 7th, 2023, a clear pattern emerges which is wonderfully represented in the picture below. A guy I call Skippy, who has always loomed in the background of our county politics like a lot of people who think similarly, felt entitled to let me know after the election that he was a “freedom” Republican and that my view of the world was authoritarian. And that he voted for “freedom of choice.” And, of course, my response is that with Republicans like him, who needs Democrats? I live in a very conservative area, but I go to plenty of events, some with that guy, and they drink and smoke openly like a bunch of derelicts and quite honestly, it has always bothered me. I don’t encourage drinking and I certainly don’t smoke, anything. I don’t even take aspirin when I get a cold. I despise drugs and those who use them. So I’m not surprised by those kinds of comments, but it certainly isn’t a rationalization for why Issue 2, the legalization of marijuana in Ohio, passed. There are a lot of weak people in the world, and a lot of people who abuse various drugs, alcohol included who I think make the world a much worse place because of their weak politics. The people who put the abortion issue forward, the attackers of our state of Ohio with a lot of outside money reflecting progressive causes, knew the attack vector, and they know people like Skippy here will vote in their direction because they like their drugs. So they attached it to the baby-killing law and snuck it across the finish line. Sure, the Democrats are vile and evil. But so are many who call themselves Republicans because they have their vices, and the bad guys are always able to exploit them for the perpetuation of evil.

Freedom of choice is actually presented as the right to make bad choices that impact other people with the degradation of the aftermath

I warned everyone prior to the election, quite a few weeks ahead, that Issues 1 and 2 would pass with around 56% to 57% of the vote, which is exactly what happened. It was essentially the same margin as we saw in August when we tried to raise the threshold of the constitution to 60% over what it is now at 50+1 to add amendments to the Ohio Constitution. Outside radicals, after they lost Roe v. Wade, turned their progressive intentions toward the states and saw that Ohio had a weak threshold, so they attacked, and now we know the result. By the time Republicans noticed the vulnerability it was already too late. The bad guys put marijuana on the same ballot as abortion purposely in the same way that candy is placed along the checkout line, encouraging temptations for last-minute purchases. If Republicans weren’t so busy smoking and drinking, they might have noticed a long time ago the threat. But they got suckered and played because there are way too many liberals in the Republican party who are soft on all issues, so they water down the defense of truly ethical problems, keep their minds focused on business only, and maintain a socially soft stance on morality which lets vast amounts of evil flourish in the back door of our society. And they are quite proud of it, even haughty. But when it is wondered why abortion passed in Ohio, and how attackers of our state were able to gain so much support, thank your local RINOs for being lured to the dark side and helping evil seed itself into our great state, which is now an embarrassment.

Generally, my favorite places in the state voted my way; they did not support Issue 1 or 2 in the northwest, Midwest (such as Darke County), and all of southwest Ohio flowing over into the east. But Dayton, Columbus, and all of Cleveland and Akron flowing over to the Pennsylvania border and along the coast of Lake Erie voted to smoke dope and kill babies, and that’s not surprising. There are a lot of RINOs in those areas and certainly plenty of scum-bag Democrats who tend to run those liberal cities. And that’s how the margins became what they were, which voter turnout was higher than usual. If Trump had been on the ticket, the ratio might have been better for real conservatives. But as it was, it didn’t surprise me and was a shame to watch. Anyone pushing drugs in a culture of any kind is causing the degradation of intellect and the destruction of your society from within. It has nothing to do with “freedom” of choice. Such things are hidden behind popular sentiments to hide their intentions, which is essentially a military attack to destroy us from within. History is filled with compliant fools who drank their way toward personal destruction, and now can Cheech and Chong laugh at the social degradation that they have now let into our culture to be, as the Pink Floyd song says, “comfortably numb.” Meanwhile, while everyone is numb, they expect you to walk compliantly into a slaughterhouse with a smile on your face because you have your drugs to numb any thoughts you might have about your actual condition. Drugs are poison that are intended to destroy the enemy with evil; that is why they are encouraged in any society that the bad guys want to kill.

I would remind everyone upset about these baby killers and pot smokers that the best way to defeat them is not to follow the rules they create to frame the argument. I say it to people dozens of times a week, and it certainly applies here: never let your enemies define the rules you live by. Laws, often as they are put forth, are constructed for people with bad intentions to perpetuate some ill will behind government power. The abortion issue isn’t about whether or not a baby is a baby at 12 weeks or nine months. A killing is a killing and evil, the same evil that caused God to give Canaan to Abraham, and abortion is murder, and pot and other drugs are inventions to numb the guilt people feel when they live immoral lives and make bad choices. And that’s what RINO Republicans did when they joined vile Democrats to pass both Issue 1 and Issue 2. They have the right to choose, even if those choices are wrong. They want the right to be diabolical scumbags if they so choose, and they use ballot language to hide their narrative of choice behind the real intention of vice for the sake of sin. That’s always why these same types of people didn’t have moral convictions when it came to the Lakota problems, where administrators were displaying a tendency to have sex with children or teach students alternative sexual lifestyles. It’s all the same moral depravity, and there are plenty of Republicans who live lives filled with bad choices. And when you combine them with diabolical Democrats, you get 57% who will vote to kill babies and do drugs without fear of prosecution. Because they want “freedom of choice,” as some vile libertarian argues it. The choice to be a scumbag, the choice to be child molesters or sexual swingers desecrating their marriage covenant in the eyes of God, or dope addicts stoned to Pink Floyd songs. And if such bad decisions produce a baby with some unwanted sexual union, they want the ability to kill that baby to erase the mistakes they made so they are free to smoke, drink, and be wastes of human flesh in a world in solid need of intellect.

Don’t Talk About Party Loyalty: Lynda O’Connor lost because she was disloyal to her base support

They keep saying we are a small, but loud minority of radicals, as if to say, critics aren’t important. But all that did was fuel the opposition against Lynda.

It wasn’t a surprise that Lynda O’Connor had an embarrassing defeat on the Lakota school board. She shouldn’t have run for another term after the mess she caused over the last few years. Her brand was down in a big way and instead of trying to right the ship, she dug in and alienated all the people she should have been working with. The voter turnout was unusually high for a Lakota school board race, but that is largely due to the increased interest from the scum bags and pot-smoking losers who voted to kill babies and legalize drugs, who went in the direction of Julie Shaffer and Doug Horton. During the election, I saw all of them as the same, but it was Lynda who I felt had personally betrayed me, and I couldn’t support her. This hold your nose, and voting for someone who has done a lousy job isn’t an excellent way to conduct elections. Lynda deviated from the original plan and decided to move to the hard left and work against Darbi Boddy, and after two years of mismanagement, the results were evident in the election. Unfortunately, Lynda dragged Russ Loges down on the ticket because the GOP was split and not united behind the candidates. When you don’t have the Central Committee lined up with the desired outcome, it’s never a good thing. And it’s even worse to tell them to deal with the party leadership picks and to accept bad behavior. Lynda O’Conn0r was horrible as a school board president, especially after all the support that was thrown her way. She used people to get power, then abused that power overtly to destroy a popularly picked school board member in Darbi Boddy and cause problems between her and Issac Adi. And the results were evident well before voters cast a vote on how election night was going to turn out.

This is why Lynda O’Connor Lost the Lakota School Board. The Republican Party doesn’t run the voters. The voters run the party. The RINOs aren’t in charge.

I was in Japan, far away from Ohio when it became apparent to me what the cost of Lynda seeking re-election was going to have on Butler County politics. Over the previous two years, we had seen a couple of incidents where party leaders had abused their power to attack upcoming talent or long-standing respected leaders. Such a case was what Sherrif Jones did to Roger Reynolds, essentially sticking the label of a felon onto the former auditor for entirely personal reasons, which then of course alienated the base of the Republican Party. Then, of course, Darbi was a popular pick, and Lynda went on a campaign of personal destruction against her, which resulted in two years of bad branding. I told Lynda on a phone call about a year ago how to fix it, and she ignored the advice. She dug in and name-dropped a few people she thought was important then continued to support horrendous behavior on the school board and aligned herself closer to Julie Shaffer and Kelly Casper. And in the process, she made herself indistinguishable. People who don’t understand these things so well put their support behind her believing they had control of the party and the people in it like some kingly aristocrat and they resorted to a lot of pushing and shoving to get everyone aligned, which was not going to work with the Tea Party types in the Republican Party. Then, to make matters worse, they sought to destroy the Tea Party of West Chester to make their point more vocal, which essentially sealed the fate of Lynda O’Connor in politics. She had used the West Chester Tea Party to advance herself as a brand for the Lakota school board. And when she turned against those values, she lost the only real support she ever had.

After I returned, I attended a Central Committee meeting in Liberty Township after there were some political shenanigans in West Chester with their Central Committee, and it was obvious that the establishment types were going to screw everything up. The RINOs wanted appeasement, and the MAGA types wanted authenticity, so there was going to be an impasse, and it was just going to have to play out. Republicans everywhere, locally and nationally, have gotten into a lot of trouble trying to appease evil, and it has caused them to work with Democrats on all kinds of Marxist issues and has essentially pulled the country away from its foundation and more toward socialism and Marxism all because they wanted to “hold their nose and support the party.” For the preservation of a party that only wanted to live, not actually to represent voters’ values. That has left people who have values and want to see those values supported in politics hungry for accurate representation. That’s why Trump is running for president as opposed to all the other Republican offerings they have tried to give us over the last few decades. And with all the excellent work that has been done, a lot of people in the Republican Party didn’t get it. I explain it to them voluminously, but they don’t have the mind to listen. They think they know better, and the best they can give you is to hold your nose and put up with what your “betters” can provide you. They emphasized that they knew better what that was, and everyone should get in line and deal with it. Support Lynda because she didn’t want to challenge Ann Becker for the open West Chester trustee position because Ann was in trouble over trans rights, so Lynda screwed up and ran again after two years of serious mistakes, and everyone thought it was going to work out great?

A political party either represents voters, or it doesn’t. There have been times that I have loved being affiliated with the Republican Party and have been very proud of what we have had in Butler County. But then, after these last few years, since Trump has been out of office and everyone has snapped back into their true natures, we have seen a lot of embarrassment that reminds me of the old Bob Shelly days with Michael Fox. Party politics, arm twisting, deception, all the kinds of things that made people run to Ross Perot or Donald Trump. And they will continue to run because they don’t want to support the politics of the machine. I’m not interested in politics to hold my nose and vote for some loser, all for the “party.” I want to see things run well with constitutional value. But don’t lecture anybody on supporting the endorsed candidates as a base of loyalty to the Republican Party. Lynda went after Darbi, and the party should have helped the “Republican Endorsed” person. And Sheriff Jones worked to destroy the life of a very popular Republican in Roger Reynolds, and nobody stepped in to help him. And nobody stepped in to save the West Chester Tea Party when a media campaign went against them and essentially destroyed them for the time being, at least their meeting venue. When the RINOs decide to fight the actual base and future of the party, nobody should have expected good results for Lynda. Lynda had to earn those votes. Instead, she went on a crusade of personal destruction and acted as if she were entitled to the position purely off the backs of party affiliation. And some of the back-bending endorsements from people I know were concerned that they would be cut off from the money machine, were reprehensible. And the results reflect just how bad it was. When the approach to an election was filled with such ridiculously stupid behavior, the results should surprise nobody.

Vote for Russ Loges on November 7th, 2023: The freaks will be out in force voting to kill babies and smoke dope, don’t give them an easy victory

Just remember, all the baby killers will be out in force to vote in favor of Issue 1, and the dope-head druggies will be voting for Issue 2. So don’t get caught sitting on the couch. Be sure to vote for Russ Loges for Lakota school board. There will be more losers, misfits, killers, transsexuals, tax whores, RINOs, than usual because their issues are on the ballot in Ohio. Don’t give them an easy win; at least show up and give your support to Russ Loges.
