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

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

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

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

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

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

It Shouldn’t Take Kristi Noem to Teach America How to be a Man: The future will be far tougher than just shooting a sick dog

The story about Kristi Noem’s dog doesn’t change anything for me regarding her qualifications to be the Vice President with President Trump.  There are two main things that a VP will need to do for Trump: defend his plan for MAGA, which she has been doing.  And to establish a continuity culture that will continue for another eight years after Trump leaves the White House this next time.  Someone will need to work with the Trump family for the future of politics and everyone out there with the right brand to do so; it is Kristi Noem who is the best for that need and its fulfillment.  The Guardian newspaper in England is aware of where Kristi’s name is on the selection list, so they read her new book No Going Back and twisted the story around about the dog that she had shot many years ago, hoping it would have an adverse reaction from the public and steer Trump away from picking her.  Based on everyone’s response to that story, I think Trump should pick Kristi Noem more than ever.  Reading that section of the book myself and comparing it to what the radical leftists out there think about it, it’s clear that Kristi Noem is just the right person for the VP job, and this character assassination thing against her needs to backfire in a spectacular way.  I personally like Kristi Noem.  And I like the idea of Kristi Noem being close to the White House and having the potential to be the first woman president.  We know someone will be the first, and the way that Kristi Noem represents America, she would be a great opportunity.  She has been a fantastic governor in South Dakota.  And she knows how to present herself on a national, even an international stage. 

People’s reaction to the Noem story about the dog was most astonishing, though.  Kristi had a dog that was out of his mind and not getting better.  That happens sometimes, especially on farm life, where many animals come and go, and sometimes you get a dog that just doesn’t get it.  And you have to get rid of the dog.  Both of my grandparents were farmers, so I understand farm life better than other people; I know what it’s like to bale hey and what it feels like to get a call in the middle of the night to give birth to a calf.  And I’ve seen many hundreds if not thousands of animals killed either for food or to prevent them from eating the products of a farm.  But farmers are some of the best conservationists in the world, and many animals have a far better life on a farm than they would in the wild, so in the context of farm life, Kristi Noem’s story about her problem causing dog is consistent with all of rural America.  And that America is part of Making America Great Again, which is why Kristi told that story.  The dog was killing other animals and biting people, so she had to do what was done at the end of the movie Old Yeller, and that was to take the dog out back and shoot it.  It used to be people could watch the movie Old Yeller, produced by Disney, and they could relate.  But now, there are lots of these urban dwellers who have grown up as dependent Democrats who have just lost touch with reality, and that Guardian story was intended for their ears as much of the American media picked it up and ran with it.  I’d say that what happened only proved a point I have been making about the differences in those who support Trump are far different from those who have global communism in mind, and the Trump supporters far outnumber those who want big daddy government communism to rule their life from top to bottom.

But it was Clay Travis who had the most surprising reaction to the Noem story for me.  Here is a guy who was picked to fill in the radio void of Rush Limbaugh and lives in Nashville, well outside the media loop culture of Fox News, where he is very well respected as a voice of the future. He loves sports and is a classic man by today’s standards.  But he was really emotional about this dog story.  For him, it was a deal killer.  I listened to him talk about dogs and his love of them, and I was shocked that he was such a beta man.  Not that shooting dogs prove your manhood, but it’s an urban context.  Don’t people realize how cruel the world is for dogs?  How many dogs end up in shelters?  I have picked many dogs from the pound over the years; some worked out great, and some did not.  But I have had to put a lot of dogs to sleep.  Now I live in an area where putting dogs to sleep is easy.  It’s more preferred than shooting a dog when they get sick beyond repair or go bad mentally, which happens as it did in the Old Yeller movie.  But when you live in rural America, as Kristi Noem has on her ranch, and the nearest medical facility for dogs is an hour or more away, shooting the dog on the farm is the most humane way to deal with it. 

Clay Travis, as a modern man, didn’t know that.  He thought that if Kristi couldn’t make the dog work out, she should have given the dog to someone else.  As if dogs were a precious resource.  Hey, there are a lot of dogs in the world, and most of them are not in good homes.  Most of them are being abused to some degree or another.  And there are lots of poor dogs at the pound being put to sleep every day because nobody wants to care for them.  And you know what’s worse? There aren’t enough homeowners these days to even give dogs a proper home because too many people are renting.  And the more that the United Nations gets its way with its Agenda 21 policies that every trustee in America has to deal with, where communities are more urbanized, there are fewer homes for dogs, so many more of them will be killed as communism runs our communities as they have been.  It is not a dog-friendly world, and Clay Travis, out of all people, should understand that.  But the modern left and manhood have shaped his perspective and been defined in new ways that are far from classic American farm life.  And I would say that was Kristi Noem’s point with the dog story.  She certainly set herself apart from the rest of the pack.  Many would say not in a good way.  But based on the reaction of so many people like Clay Travis, I think it was good.  Especially men, need to find a way to be Great Again.  Not by shooting dogs, but it shouldn’t take a woman to tell you how to be a man, and that is a problem in our modern times.  People have lost a connection to the harsh realities of where their food comes from, and how hard farm life can be, which is one of the backbones of American life.  To get too emotional over a dog is to be too emotional to save America from the communist losers who are far worse than that dog Kristi Noem shot on her ranch.  There are a lot of decisions over these coming years that will be far harder.  And people are going to have to have the stomach to do the hard things when required.  Kristi Noem gets it.  But many people need to learn to be tougher, especially those like Clay Travis.

Downfall of the Girl Boss: The Market serves the public, not the other way around

If anybody doubted the intention, history would never remember it better than in movies’ ridiculous concept of the “Girl Boss.”  One of the first things I did after the election results showed President Trump losing in 2020 to the dumb old man, Joe Biden, was to read to the public the 45 Planks of Communism from Cleon Skousen’s great book, The Naked Communist, where it was clearly stated, communists intended to infiltrate America and impose their view of the world through captured assets, such as both political parties, and the media.  The proof that had happened wasn’t just in the obvious election fraud that had put Joe Biden in office, but it has been in how foolish the entertainment industry had been with their “Girl Boss” concept, with feminism gone out of control without any market checks to keep it from making a fool of itself.  Once you understand the stupidity of the Girl Boss, a lot of things make sense, and the world becomes more accessible to explain.  It’s also why the pendulum is swinging so violently in the other direction now, and likely all the dumb ideas that the communists who infiltrated our American culture had, are being rejected so outrageously.  The Girl Boss was the straw that broke the camel’s back.  The entertainment industry, particularly film and television, thought that people loved their product so much that they’d consume anything given to them which is clearly not the case.  There are a lot of movie studios that will not survive this stupidity, particularly the big one in Disney.  But it goes to show just how radical, politically, the people running those companies were, and what a mistake it would become because they all had to learn an important lesson, which is unfolding now, and it really evolves into the power of capitalism over the dark forces of communism.  When other countries in the world complain about them being poor, it’s because they adopted too much socialism and communism into their cultures and not enough capitalism.   Being poor is a decision, and if people understood it better, they would have never come up with the dumb idea of the Girl Boss in movies, which is currently destroying Disney in spectacularly avoidable ways, yet they did it anyway. 

Much of this came to the surface due to the Elon Musk lawsuit he is supporting with Gina Carano against Disney for unlawful termination of her contract.  Gina was a famous actor in the Star Wars show on Disney+ called The Mandalorian and was part of the initiative to put more strong women into Star Wars, as outlined by Kathy Kennedy.  But humans are humans, and upon meeting Gina, the CEO of Lucasfilm immediately disliked Carano, likely because she was cute and imposing in person, as a former fighter in MMA.  Insecure women in positions of power are dangerous, as are men in the same state.  But with women, it’s a bit different because with them, their sexual roles in society are to be pollinated, not to pollinate, so there are always insecurities about the men in their lives finding them attractive enough to pollinate.  And when someone like Gina walks into a room, even though Lucasfilm under Disney wanted to promote women in the workplace, they didn’t have women like Gina in mind.  They wanted homely women who were not a threat to their households, women their husbands wouldn’t be looking at with ideas of pollination.  So things started badly for Gina Carano with the boss, Kathy Kennedy, right from the start, and it only got worse once the boss found out that Gina was a conservative. 

So, a conservative in Hollywood, especially a woman, was a big no, no so Disney proceeded to push Gina out of the marketplace and essentially ruin her as an actress to send a message to other actresses that if they wanted to work, they needed to be socialists and they should not look too attractive so to threaten all these insecure movie executives who were now suddenly in charge and directing all these movies and television shows.  The worst example of this in the Star Wars franchise was the character of Rose from The Last Jedi, a movie that was worse than even Barbarella as far as a science fiction movie that tried to put feminism as its central theme and drive the audience to accept it at all cost.  I used to make fun of the Rose character to my kids because I said that Star Wars as a market share would suffer because nobody would buy the Rose action figure.  She was cast as a chunky Asian girl who would certainly not be a threat to anybody’s husbands, and somehow, everyone thought this was a winning enterprise.  Instead, it killed the franchise, as seen spectacularly in the following years as the Target toy racks tried to sell Rose at a discount and couldn’t unload the merchandise.  And it wasn’t just Rose, but it was all Star Wars toys that suffered as a result, leaving the toy maker Hasbro with warehouses of merchandise they couldn’t ever hope to sell because of the bad decisions of the feminists to stick all these Girl Bosses in movies, killed the collector’s market, and Star Wars as a brand was destroyed.  That’s why they can’t make Star Wars movies anymore.

For more than 40 years, Star Wars managed to protect its marketplace brand until Disney came along and screwed it all up with political activism, essentially until that movie, The Last Jedi.  After that, the toy presence of Star Wars disappeared in Walmart and Target, which is a significant market indicator for other kinds of things, particularly along the lines of political sentiment.  As if it had been previously doubted, the entertainment industry would not survive as a propaganda arm for communism, which was the assumption.  Like all other market factors, the market had to serve the needs of the public, not the other way around.  Star Wars would not be used to convert people to feminist thoughts. Instead, people would reject the entire brand, just as they have with Bud Light and the Marvel movie franchise.  Men and women don’t want political propaganda; they’d rather have Superman fighting for Truth, Justice, and the American Way, not some crybaby like Brie Larson in Captain Marvel throwing planets and beating up men nine times bigger than she is and standing over them like a Girl Boss.  The public, men, and women, want what they can relate to and think about favorably, and the Girl Boss was something neither one of them wanted.  And because Disney forced it on them, the public has rejected the product and moved on to other things.  And that doesn’t just hurt the film industry, but it hurts everything it touches, like the theater owners, toy makers, and even restaurants.  When people would sit at home and instead stream the latest episode of The Chosen rather than go to the movies and watch the latest Girl Boss movie, then even dining out is impacted by the decision.  That is the unsaid cost of communism when it is attempted to impose it on society rather than studying market fulfillment and how best to give the audience what it wants.  When it was assumed that the communists were in charge of the propaganda machine and that the public would be forced to obey them, the market reality was crushing for them.  And they have ruined the lives of many people in that assumption.  But the world has moved on.  What has failed are the fools who listened to them, to begin with.  Everyone tried to warn them, but they brought out the Girl Boss anyway, which history will still be laughing at thousands of years from now.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Has Been A Devastatingly Stupid Hiring Practice: Why Doors Fall Off Airplanes

I like Boeing as a company; I know many people who work there and consider it one of the significant assets of American manufacturing. But as I have been saying for a long time, the enemies of America are not fighting us in the way we would expect, with tanks and troops. Instead, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion standards (DEI) have been introduced into our corporate culture to essentially destroy American capitalism from the perspective of the global Marxists, and we are now seeing the results. Feminism and other Civil Rights concerns for the political left were never about fairness; it was always intended to project quality, that one person was no better than another to erode any system of merit that might exist in a culture. By making value about everything but what was important, they could destroy the concept of value produced through economic means. And that’s what we are now seeing in big corporations like Boeing who thought they were playing the game of the future, hiring people based on all the wrong criteria, sex, skin color, and sexual preference, and they lowered their standards to allow those people to be in high ranking positions, then everyone was confused when a door flew off one of there best aircraft, the Boeing 737 MAX 9.

Luckily nobody was sitting by that emergency door when it fell off while in flight, and the altitude wasn’t at its peak where the pressure outside was much lower and would have sucked out everyone in the plane. But it was a terrifying thing to witness from people riding what they expected to be an uneventful flight on Alaskan Airlines. This isn’t the first time Boeing has had significant problems with this plane. But if there was one root cause to the mess Boeing has been going through over the last decade, it traces back to the problems of globalism and trying to meet the ridiculous social standards of the World Economic Forum. Diversity hirings have been devastating to all companies that have been suckered into them, especially in aviation, where the hires used to come out of the military and pilots had thousands of hours of training while serving. But these days, many of those upper-level executive positions are being filled with DEI candidates who are put in place for all the wrong leadership qualities. Even as I write this, I have just received a notification that a book I have ordered is being delayed due to severe weather. About an inch of snow is on the ground, so the delivery trucks have been called in to ride out the weather. That amount of snow is hardly significant, but when you start hiring all the wrong people for important leadership jobs, that’s what you get. Too much safety, which disguises laziness for concern or horrendous quality in product manufacture, which is certainly the case with Boeing. It’s not just that particular airline company. Just ask Disney about their problems these days with the same kind of hiring practices. Promoting people without merit gets terrible results, and the consumer directly witnesses the evidence. And to people’s eyes, there is nothing worse than a door flying off an airline while in transit. In many cases, this is worse than the several crashes the same jet has had with all passengers on board because the psychological reminder of such a lack of safety is more disturbing. The enemies of America, of course, are laughing at us for following their truly dumb ideas. And this is the cost of dealing with globalists who are Marxists ideologically, advocates of socialism and communism. And the labor unions in America have joined lockstep in that movement for all the same progressive reasons. And the results have been a disaster.

The future of manufacturing and all other business endeavors will be merit-based, as they traditionally have been.  All people are not equal, which is the real message behind Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion standards.  The measure of work is not universally consistent when it comes to people of all different backgrounds.  Statistically speaking, much better people are produced in capitalist cultures as opposed to oppressed communist ones.  Because the people in those cultures have access to more things from which they can gain experience.  However, I do find that people from impoverished cultures make much harder workers who enter the workforce with a much better work ethic.  Many of the youth in America have had their work ethics trashed by public education, more progressive intrusion attempting to teach this DEI value to them and expecting the results to flourish rather than become the disaster that reality has displayed.  The message always was sameness, and if all people can do all things equally well, we should hire diverse people from all different backgrounds to perform essential leadership roles.  And that bit of stupidity has been devastating to the marketplace.  Great for people who want to destroy the idea of merit-based American capitalism.  But it isn’t enjoyable for people who expect a package to be delivered when there is an inch of snow on the ground.  The world is much worse because of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion than it ever was in the dog-eat-dog world of Capitalism.  The world works best when there is competition, which then drives value.  Without that quest for value, the world falls apart, as we see it doing now. 

What typically keeps accidents like the one from Boeing happening is the worry that a bad job might get someone fired.  But with DEI measures, employees act like the employer is lucky to have them on the job, no matter how much they screw up.  When we show a dissatisfied eye toward the government, we are thinking about how we have seen many of these problems for decades, poor performance in the consumer experience. After all, they have been hiring all the wrong people and expecting nothing from them for years.  And the results disgust us as productive people.  But we have seen under the mask of globalism this urgent desire to remove merit from work so that jobs are easy and irreplaceable, preventing terminations for lack of performance.  While the new standard of skin color and sex is the updated value system, it can’t be taken away from even the most lazy worker.  And in so doing, you give the political left precisely what they always wanted: a guaranteed job no matter how bad they were at it.  So, nobody should be surprised when doors fall off an aircraft while in flight.  And if a few people get sucked out of the plane and die, that is to be considered simply the cost of DEI. As a result, the vital thing to Boeing is that they made the World Economic Forum happy and their money managers at BlackRock because they hired a gay black woman who weighs in at 300 pounds and is an atheist.  They put someone like that in charge of installing aircraft doors and performing final inspections to get a good DEI score.  What could go wrong, as opposed to the person who has worked at installing doors on aircraft for 20 years, came from a military background, and was the best at their job and making more money than their co-workers because of the value of the work performed over a long period?  Companies seeking a good DEI score will have a lot of trouble in the future.  And the sooner corporate America stops listening to the World Economic Forum, the better for them.  The best method of producing products that the world wants, in the way that they want them, is a value of good ol’ capitalism that is merit-based because anything less won’t do.

What We Are Fighting For: Adventures that show more than curiosity

I don’t do it often, but sometimes the occasion is right, which is undoubtedly the case here.  I recently did a little article on one of my daughters who had just started a line of coffee that complimented her art business.  While doing the video for that daughter, I talked a bit about my other daughter, who, at that time, was at Loch Ness with her family doing neat things.  Out of curiosity, many people have asked me about elements of my personal life, including my kids.  They must not know what to think about the kind of children I would have raised, expecting something outlandish to come from me.  So, there is a lot of curiosity about the type of people who would come out of my family, not to take anything away from their attributes as individuals.  But to say the least, I am proud of my kids.  Life isn’t always easy, but they handle themselves well and are good people.  I expect that out of them, but given the various doubts about how to have a good family and raise good kids, there are many curious people.  While those questions have been coming in, my oldest daughter returned from her trip to Scotland with her husband and their son (one of my grandsons), and they cut together a nice video of their trip.  And when I say that, I’d say it’s not just a regular home video of their many adventures, but done with a professional flair with the idea of maybe starting a YouTube travel channel kind of show.  They travel a lot, their 7th trip of the year, and spent two solid months on the road going to various places.  Their trip to Scotland, much of it shown in the video, was several weeks in November and was interesting enough to show off here so people could see a bit about my family in a nonpolitical setting to satisfy their curiosities. 

I like my family, and if given a choice, we often travel together.  We were with her on most of the seven trips I mentioned that my oldest daughter had been on this past year.  My wife and I took a few trips, especially regarding competitive shooting schedules.  I have another daughter and more grandkids often included in these trips.  I prefer to have them all come, including their dogs, lizards, and whatever else is part of our family.  Just before the trip to Scotland, we spent the end of September together in Florida at Disney World.  Before that, I had just returned from Japan, which followed several other weeks in places like Mammoth Cave and Land Between the Lakes.  With all that I write here, it’s a small part of my life, as there is always a lot going on, and everything moves quickly.  But I think the pace and the amount of things we all do together showed well in my daughter’s video on Scotland.  My son-in-law and my grandson even excitingly contributed to the video, illustrating what a pleasant, healthy family experience should look like.  When I watched the video, it reminded me of what is essential in all these adventures.  And I was proud of them for living outside the box and showing what a good life and family look like.  Which, as a parent, is all you want for your kids. 

All my grandchildren are homeschooled by their parents, my kids.  And on these trips my oldest daughter views as homeschool experiences.  Even though they were traveling, they still had school on the road.  When they travel in their RV within the states, they often set up a class for a few hours per day in a little room while on the road.  In that way, education is always the key to travel, learning many new things, and treating every day like a field trip to an exotic location.  So literally, as my youngest daughter was doing a video with me about her new line of coffee, my oldest was at Loch Ness touching the water there, as shown in the video, which puts a bit of continuity to the various conversations where little bits of my personal life spill out for the audience to see.  All this reminded me of how inferior the public school experience is compared to what we do as a family.  It always reminded me how little we value the public education graduation experience, as my kids spent their senior years in high school in Europe.  They graduated, of course, but they left school early to get to living life, which has always been essential for me.  They never missed that public school experience, which has carried over into adulthood.  They are unique people, and I would argue they are much better prepared for life than most people coming out of the public school experience.  Additionally, my wife was an honor student in school until she met me.  When we were dating, I told her how stupid the whole school experience was, and she graduated early, just like her daughters, without going to her formal graduation with the cap and gown ceremony.  On the day she was supposed to graduate, she and I were on a road trip, traveling very fast on our own journey during a romantic getaway. 

The point here is this: people assume that my position on things, especially very conservative politics, might produce little monsters of anti-compliance. Instead, I would say my approach to parenting made very thoughtful young people who know how to get around safely in the world.  And to get up in the morning, always looking to expand their intellects.  It’s not always apparent as kids go through their biological progression, but once things settle into their thirties, you see what neat people they often grow up to be.  And in the case of my kids on that Scotland trip, I am very proud of them for being good people in a big world, showing that they are in control and not being swept away by it.  Traveling in that style is no big deal for them, and I think people would be interested in their travel channel on YouTube.  We indeed take enough trips to make it enjoyable.  That was the first time she approached the subject as a travel vlog with full commentary.  Which I thought was very good. But it reminded me of the skills it takes to live such a life and how grateful I am that we did not listen to all the noisy people who tried to get us to raise our children like all the other poor kids running on the treadmill of public school and going through the ridiculous motions of college life.  My kids shown in that video have been married for around 15 years, which often shocks people.  They are good, solid people with good jobs, a good work ethic, a nice home, and the ability to create a functional family.  And it’s nice for me to see them doing good things.  And for the curious who wonder, it’s fun for them too.

They All Have it Coming: The Beltway is preparing for the Trump revenge tour

With all the positioning propaganda against Trump that has come out in the 2023 election cycle, the purposeful Christmas Dinner conversation meant to steer people away from Trump to neocon losers like Birdbrain Nikki; the truth is lingering behind people’s actions. Most notably, the way Marco Rubio and others acted regarding the recent NDAA signage pushed recklessly through the House and Senate for continued spending.  The baseball insiders know what’s going on with Trump and understand that the media will not be able to shape stories as they have in the past and that all these attempts to knock Trump out of the 2024 presidential race will fall flat.  The SWAMP doesn’t want to be drained, and the alligators and snakes are fighting back with a brutal sentiment.  But they all know what’s coming, which is precisely why they put a provision in that latest NDAA bill that will prevent Trump from pulling out of NATO over support of Ukraine’s fight with Russia over border disputes.  They know Trump will be in the White House again, and they are already working to protect their nest eggs, so if it wasn’t already apparent to the world, it is now.  The inside baseball people in politics know that the inevitable is about to happen, and there is nothing they can do about it short of starting a Civil War, which is actually on the table from their perspective.  Before they hand over the reins of government to the MAGA political wave, they are going to pull every dirty trick in the book.  This NDAA thing is just an easy one to spot because it always involves Republicans like Marco Rubio, who are just whores for distributing government money confiscated from taxpayers and giving it to big globalist goals like the support of NATO, so long as America funds it while other countries don’t. 

These tricks have worked in the past because a level of trust came with them.  People trusted the media because they didn’t want to waste their time doubting them, and they trusted politicians enough to let them make up bills like the NDAA NATO supporting horror that it is because it didn’t affect ordinary people very much.  But we had a stolen election in 2020, and we had a bioweapons attack that killed people.  We shut them up in their homes, destroyed their businesses, and broke up families in a truly terrible year, and people have not forgotten.  The arrogant people who perpetrated this attack thought they had it all figured out.  Disney would help them create “global citizens” in America, the media would steer everyone into the slaughterhouse compliantly, and globalism would be well on its way to world domination.  And people wouldn’t be any wiser to it.  All the pinheads in media who can barely write 300 words without consulting an AI program thought they had it all in the bag.  The plan going into the election season would be that lawfare would keep Trump off the ballot, planted news stories around Christmas time would steer the public away from the troubled Trump during the Holiday of 2023, and the bad guys would win once again because the dumb, gullible public would be too busy watching football and unwrapping presents to understand what was happening.  The scam perpetrators, like Dr. Fauci before them, would get honorary degrees and peace prizes and be invited to Davos to speak at the World Economic Forum as celebrities. Leonardo DiCaprio might even sit next to them at a round table event. And globalism would continue to grow unimpeded.

But that plan blew up over that same period, the entire fourth quarter of the 2023 year.  The bad guys were going through the motions, but the results weren’t returning as intended.  Going through the Holiday season, Trump was pulling way ahead of Biden, leaving the other GOP competitors in the dust.  The Colorado story about taking Trump off the ballot was going nowhere.  The Supreme Court was signaling that it wasn’t going to support the Jack Smith insurrection case as a fast track to impact the primary season, which the Colorado story depends on for a Constitutional verdict, and Nikki Haley is not catching Trump the way Fox News tried to sell it.  People who saw these stories said, “We aren’t going to be suckered by you people again.”  And they turned the channel and watched something else.  People are ready to vote for Trump for one primary reason.  Globalism has cost them money, and they are tired of sending money to places like Ukraine while China continues to abuse old man Biden ruthlessly, indicating they are planning to take Taiwan back as a part of their country, putting all of us at risk of losing computer chip manufacturing.  The conversations I was in with people who never think about things like this are concerned about one thing: their money isn’t worth as much now as it was before that 2020 attack against American sovereignty.  When Trump was in the White House before, life was better for them.  What they have seen over the last three years has terrified them.  And they want their country back.  I’m not going to say, “I told you so, all of you,” But “I told you so,” all along.  I can think of many Christmases in times past where I was the only one talking about these things.  Now, everyone is. 

And the Beltway insiders know it too; everyone knows it.  This won’t be an average year for anybody.  People want Trump back in office for normalcy.  Continued ANTIFA riots are only going to make people angrier and less supportive of progressive politics.  Either way, a continuation of the radicalism of 2020 into 2024 is going to turn people away from Democrat priorities, or Trump moving back into the White House will set it in motion with a revenge tour that is perfectly justified.  Lots of people need to suffer for what they did to us all.  And we see it in our bank accounts.  All these globalists who thought they were going to crush the American economy to reset global expectations with their Great Reset forgot that there were people who would be angry about it.  And they were going to blame the globalists, people like Marco Rubio, who plays a Republican on television, but as a senator, sees his role in protecting global military police, NATO, and other partnerships that are grossly one-sided, to impose border disputes on nationalists to make them states of the United Nations.  All those flights of fancy in previous years sounded like ambitious plans that didn’t impact Hometown USA and everyone’s Christmas Dinners.  Plenty of presents were under the tree, and food was easy to get.  But this year, not so much.  Food is costly.  The cost of all goods and services is dramatically higher than during the Trump years, and people are furious about it.  So Little Marco and his gang of government thieves have stuck support for NATO into the NDAA while they still have the power to do so.  Because they know what’s coming, and they are bracing for impact.  And from my perspective, they will need much more than a seat belt.

Second Call Defense May Be the Most Important Thing You Do in 2024: Catherine Herridge thinks there will be a “Black Swan” event, and I think she’s right

Catherine Herridge is one of the only reporters I still respect from the mainstream news, and there is a lot of talk about a recent statement she made about the upcoming year of 2024 when she indicated that she thought there would be a Black Swan event at some point. I agree with her; there may be several. There are a lot of bad guys in the world that have been dramatically empowered by bad laws, weak politics, globalism, terrorism, and eroded values, and the power and money that have come from these activities are not going to be given up easily. I expect a lot of attempts to unleash violence into our society before power is given back or taken back by force. Whatever the case, the bad guys will not just ride off nicely into the night. That’s why they are bad guys; they do bad things and harm innocent people. So I think 2024 will be unusually difficult, much worse than 2020 when color revolutions were unleashed in the streets with a few phone calls from the rich and famous. Sheer whores who will do anything for a buck took over entire cities in 2020 and nearly burned Washington DC to the ground. The media and political figures responsible for the terrible things that happened in 2020 want you to think about the time that people pushed back on January 6th, hoping to erase from your mind everything you had seen and experienced and that some fantasy of normalcy could come from the Biden administration in those early days of 2021. But no, people didn’t forget, and they are voting for Trump anyway; populist movements everywhere are looking for revenge, using the law first to implement it. But that leaves the bad guys nowhere to go, and you can bet they will try every desperate thing to outrun justice.

One thing that has been on my mind is that I had to scold a few of our local news people from the network news who were trying to stoke riots from downtown Cincinnati to come up into West Chester to harass people outside the I-275 loop. A few did come, but it didn’t go very far. My response was similar to what I’m about to say, and in some cases, I walked people I know through the process of buying guns to defend their homes. These were people who don’t usually think this way but were not about to let a bunch of thugs ransack their homes, rape their women, and make a general mess of things in their community. But you can bet that George Soros and all his friends intended for all that to happen even more. What happened recently in Israel could quickly occur anywhere in the United States; the intention of the bad guys is undoubtedly there, and if they aren’t going to respect our laws and enforcement community, then what choice does anybody have? So I helped a lot of people get their hands on guns “just in case,” and the critical riots from Fox 19 News and Channel 5 fizzled out and moved back down the highway to hang out in Over-The-Rhine. Thankfully, it got close to being messy and never quite evolved into a crisis. But people learned from those events that it was possible and needed to be prepared. That’s why I’m recommending to everyone this time membership to Second Call Defense, which is insurance for gun owners who may need to make that second call after a defensive shooting to keep a very corrupt judicial system from destroying your life in the aftermath, which is one of their strategies against the Second Amendment.

We’ve seen how lawfare has been used against Trump, and before all these recent ostentatious displays of law abuse, it has occurred in many ways in our own hometown. Right now, I can think of how the law has been weaponized against Darbi Boddy, who has a bogus hearing on December 29th. She’s the school board member from Lakota who has so many radical elements trying to destroy her life just because she exists, and they want her in jail. And the local Republican Party has been stoking the fires to make it happen—hazardous stuff. I could say the same of what happened to Roger Reynolds, the former Butler County auditor. I just received a very nice Christmas note from Judge Elderstein, a story where the Butler County judges go after their own in really detrimental ways, and this story involves the prosecutor of Butler County, Michael Gmoser, and many other influential people in Ohio who have been engaged in lawfare against political rivals. These law enforcement types cannot be trusted and they are not the people you want to be dealing with after a defensive shooting. Ohio is a lot better on gun laws, particularly Stand Your Ground and Constitutional Carry as a result of our current government doing really good things to make them happen. I’m a permit holder and probably always will be. And yes, because of my lifestyle, it comes up more than you’d like. I had an incident just a few days ago where everyone made it to Christmas Dinner. But gun altercations are more of a reality in a politically charged society as we have now, where radical elements are empowered to bring harm to innocent people, and those innocent people have no choice but to defend themselves. We want to trust the law to do their jobs, but there are many reasons to understand that trust isn’t on the table.

You will get benefits if you use my name to join Second Call Defense.  I know the people involved and I like them a lot.  I usually don’t bring up these kinds of memberships, but I would say, especially this coming year of 2024, to protect yourself with Second Call Defense or an insurance program like it.  I’m not here to sell you insurance.  I have been associated with Second Call Defense for a long time, around ten years now.  Over that span, there have been six times when I almost had to make that second call, counting the recent incident from the other day.  And believe me, before you pull the trigger on an attacker, it does run through your mind.  Because once you do pull that trigger and someone dies as a result, the political hellhounds who want to attack the Second Amendment will be all over you, trying to use that tragedy to destroy your life in every way they can.  With Second Call Defense, you let their lawyers handle your case as soon as the police arrive. They’ll help you get your gun back, and they help with bond money and the kind of procedures that a person without representation would find to be a nightmare.  You don’t want to become a January 6th prisoner or go through what Darbi Boddy is going through now because the law has targeted you for their acquisition of power.  A self-defense shooting is bad enough without having the legal system destroy your entire life for its display of power and political objectives.  So, as some friendly advice, I would recommend everyone who carries a firearm, even in a Constitutional Carry way, to join Second Call Defense, even if just for 2024.  I hope it’s not the case, but things will likely get very rough in 2024, and you want to be prepared on all fronts.  Putting up with detrimental behavior is not an option.  But it would be best to protect yourself with more than a gun.  Insurance certainly helps, and it will rest your mind in those times when you do have to use a weapon and pull the trigger against someone attacking you.  I can’t recommend Second Call Defense more; it may be the most important thing you can do for yourself in 2024.  It’s rough out there; access to good legal representation certainly needs to be part of any strategy that deals with the malicious intent of a society gone mad.

Mind Control Technology as Revealed in the Gateway Project: Of course shadow governments are working in the background to rule the world

If you go back to the beginning of my news coverage, many thousands of videos and millions of words ago, you will see a pattern. In that case, it will be established that I have been preparing people for a very hard reality, which they now seem to be ready for. A culture that could produce a guilty verdict and 150 million dollar financial compensation against America’s Mayor, Rudi Giuliani, such as what occurred on 12.15.23, is capable of quite extensive evil, looming in the background, and it does get much worse than that. But these things have been hiding in plain sight behind a very polite, Christian society. Sheer evil has become haughty and shown itself in ways that have finally taken people out of their comfort zones. But some people have seen this reality and been well prepared for it all along. So, for many years, I have been building up to this moment, slowly and carefully, so as not to spook the horses, until it was time to move. And now is that time. Perhaps you are not quite ready. Then, in that case, I would suggest my old articles from the beginning and start up toward today’s actions for the proper context. But for those who have prepared their minds, we are going to get into some wild waters here, and for good reason. We are going to beat these bad guys, but to do that, you have to understand who and what the bad guys are. In the coming weeks, I will talk extensively about the bioweapon plans that have come directly out of the CIA, of which all evidence points to Covid as a bioweapon designed for mass change state culture, where centralized authorities would be in control, and you will be shocked how evil they have always been, and how they routinely dispose of people who get in their way. But to understand that level of evil, you have to understand programs that have been out there for a while, such as the Gateway Process which shows clear intent to control human beings through multidimensional manipulation as was released to the public on June 9th, 1983.

Do you ever wonder where you get your thoughts? Some random ones that pop into your head seem out of character. It could be just what you think it is, some accidental brain provocation produced by chemical imbalances or the moment’s emotions driven by stress hormones and the need for self-preservation. But according to a report issued from the Department of Army that sounds pretty legitimate, the Gateway Project is a CIA/military application that reads like a science fiction story and may even perhaps be complete disinformation. Coming from the CIA or having them involved in any way likely is total disinformation designed to steer their targets in the desired direction, to look here and there for the bad guys when, in truth, the fear is what they were after, and a means to tie the strings of a puppet to your arms, legs, and mind. What does matter in such a report is that it shows that a fourth branch of unaccountable government has been working to establish freedom from the Constitution to gain control of masses of people, essentially for their own objectives and motivations. The truth of the matter is that the CIA has done extensive research into mind control and has developed various means to perform the task, and we are seeing it employed massively in this current mass media culture where trust in authority figures compels the mechanisms to work at least until it doesn’t.

So people have been asking me a lot, from many sources, what I think of the Gateway Experience. My answer is that the desire to rule over people has always been a desire of evil people, and if bad people could tap into ruling from the shadows, from beyond 4-dimensional space, then they would surely do it. But in the case of the Gateway Project, which you can get online pretty quickly, look it up (Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process, CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210016-5 Department of the Army and addressed to the Commander of the US Army Operational Group at Fort Meade, MD 20755), and you’ll see it all for yourself. The real goal may only be to do what Star Wars did to the Russians under the Reagan administration when it was leaked to them that the way to beat their nuclear capacity was to shoot them down from space. The technology at the time may have just been science fiction inspired by a famous movie series and used by a president to defeat global communism. But it conceptually developed into the ability we see today, where such technology is possible. We should, too, view the Gateway Process report as the hopes and dreams of an aggressive central controlling agency that is seeking power for its own sake at the expense of people’s sanity, weaponized against them because they do not understand the forces upon them and the method of warfare that is being applied. And that the technology now exists for just such branches of weaponized government funded infinitely by black budgets and congressional incompetence. Just look at what Marco Rubio did with the NDAA to prevent a future President Trump from pulling out of the European Alliance. It is easy for mass manipulators to take advantage of such people when the bar to intelligence is so low.

I would add that the CIA and general support of the drug trade by all governments is directly connected to the hopes and ambitions revealed in the Gateway Process, which makes a society function with less intelligent ability so that the methods of mind control are much more accessible. This is well established from several sources that I will use to tell the story further, but it is most recently articulated in the terrifying book by Robert F. Kennedy Jr, The Wuhan Cover-Up and the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race. Saturating a population with drugs that weaken a mind toward outside influences, such as 5G impediments disguised as internet signal coverage, can have a massive effect on behavioral applications. For instance, if you look at the lifestyle of most school shooters, you will find that they were all marijuana users. And under the influence of that drug, the brain loses its judgment ability and can be much more open to 3rd party manipulations. In the same way that by drinking alcohol, a happily married person might lower their resistance to the idea of sleeping with someone else. Then, when caught, they might say, “But I was drunk.” The school shooter or other mass killer might say on the stand in court that they hear voices, that it was demons and devils that haunted them. In truth, it was mind projection weapons developed over the last 70 years that work best on minds that are already weakened by lifestyle choices that open the door to attack through state governments and 3rd party hostilities. There is certainly a long history of intent. And if a fraction of that intent has manifested into reality, then we have a mass culture under the influence of mind control, violating their constitutional rights extensively. And people have a good reason to be concerned and ask questions about it now. My answer is yes; mind control is a priority of unaccountable governments. It’s not as powerful as those attackers would like it to be. But ruling from the shadows is their plan, and your mind is not locked to them. They can get to it, manipulate it, and use it for their purposes. Often. If you want to secure it, you can. But it is difficult, especially when it is realized that your thoughts are never your own and that the source of the information in your brain is not always in your possession. And it can and will be used against you, as much as they can get away with it.

Is it hopeless? Are you defenseless?  Of course not.  There is always a way to fight back.  But to understand the history, I suggest following the progress of the MKULTRA program, especially the activity at Fort Detrick, and suddenly, all this mess of our modern times makes a lot more sense.  Unchecked power might start with good intentions, especially among shadow government types such as the CIA.  But people are easily corrupted, especially when they feel god-like power over otherwise clueless people.  And they will abuse that power 100% of the time.  And they have been abusing their power for a long time.

Signs of the Future: The duel between Bob Iger and Elon Musk

In so many ways the duel between Bob Iger and Elon Musk is indicative of the future warfare that is the key to everything.  Here are two CEOs at the top of their game representing two different directions, and one is distinctly on the wrong side while the other is thriving.  As I say all the time, don’t judge people based on what they say, but on what they do.  And Elon Musk has been evolving slowly for a long time.  This happens to a lot of people as they get more information.  I also say a lot that it’s nearly impossible for a person to have a lot of intelligence and to remain a Democrat.  People might be born into a certain region with specific parents and have certain beliefs.  But through living life and doing things, you learn what works and what doesn’t, and it’s natural to evolve feelings.  And for Elon Musk, it doesn’t take rocket science to figure out that the kind of world he wants to live in, an interplanetary civilization cannot be anything less than a capitalist enterprise.  Centralized governments are too slow and sabotage their society to stay in power, which isn’t good for getting to space.  So Musk has moved in a MAGA direction without calling himself that out of pure necessity, and logic.  Then there is, of course, Bob Iger, Mr. Global Citizen, who has been the CEO of Disney, which has essentially committed suicide to accommodate woke World Economic Forum politics.  Musk has moved away from the World Economic Forum, and Bob Iger has fully embraced it, even giving it a deep French kiss to the doom of his company.  So, it was only a matter of time before these two public personalities would have a very obvious clash.

This new war that we are fighting is one where it’s easy to win against. But the way people are wired exploits them at a very personal level. It is essentially what everyone learned in public school, with the cool kids, the geeks, and the loser social groups and children knowing which one they would all be in, and how social pressure, the need to be liked, would control those behaviors into joining one of those three groups. Because Musk is one of the richest men in the world, of course, he has a lot of parasites looking to live off his efforts, so Disney thought it had leverage on him to pull advertising from the X platform to force Musk to embrace more World Economic Forum strategic goals. Musk responded with an “F You” to Bob Iger and others and made a decidedly sharp turn politically. It was a decided check mate in the chess game of these kinds of activities. Within a few days, Elon Musk facilitated a new show for Tucker Carlson and there was a massive interview with Alex Jones, which resulted in him being reinstated on X, where he had been deplatformed when it was Twitter and a series of events that would spell doom for the World Economic Forum types cascaded into irreversible damage for the big centralized global citizen types that Bob Iger represented. Musk was clearly on the side of tomorrow, whereas Iger was without question on the losing team. But the signs have been stacking up for a while now. The public results were just a matter of time. Disney used to be the center of innovation, but now it was SpaceX and what they have been doing on several technical fronts. Instead of warring with Musk, Disney should have sought to have a relationship with them. Instead, they chose politics, which, as a CEO, was a nail in the coffin for Disney that is quickly sinking the company.

Months before all this occurred, I had taken my family to Disney World for a very large vacation.  I was not crazy about the woke direction of the company, but as I have been saying for several years now, I don’t think that Disney is going to survive as a company, and I wanted my grandchildren and my kids to see it while it is still a great thing.  I love all four of their parks very much, but Epcot Center has always been something special, an optimistic city of tomorrow that showcased all the opportunities of tomorrow.  But tomorrow is today, and many of the things that are showcased at Epcot now look old and out of date.  Disney Parks have become too political; they have not adapted to the true frontier of human need and it shows.  Disney, mainly as Bob Iger has run it, is a looking-back company, not one that is embracing the future.  Bob was all about the World Economic Forum controls from centralized governments that looked to establish equity and inclusion through force and manipulation by those in charge, whereas Elon Musk was embracing the kind of technology that would free people of those methods, and he was looking at capitalism as the means to do it.  Elon Musk wasn’t precisely a Trump guy during his first term.  He wanted to give Joe Biden a chance.  But that quickly changed over the last three years, and now Musk has moved well away from the World Economic Forum view of the world, and that difference is dramatically apparent when you watch SpaceX work and perform a side-by-side analysis of their view of the world with the Epcot Center. 

The trip to Disney had the effect I wanted.  My crew had a really magnificent time at Epcot Center. We went there on two different occasions and used the monorail as our primary means of transportation to get there.  It was great for my family.  But I could see the ghost of a place I used to love, looking old and inward thinking.  It was essentially what the world was trying to do with authoritarian, centralized governments, such as China and the European Union.  That was not the future we were going to experience, and Bob Iger had gambled everything on it.  And when he went to call the bet against Musk, everything went in the opposite direction.  The result was it forced Musk to stop trying to put one foot in and one out on so many topics and go all in toward the future, which means the collapse of central government tyranny.  Putting Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson on X was the reason Musk bought Twitter in the first place.  For the same reason, Trump created his own social media platform, Truth Social.  The future requires a decentralized competition of ideas without the restraint of slow-minded authority figures.  And the results will be very similar to what happened between Musk and Bob Iger but on a truly global scale.  The peer pressure leverage Disney attempted to pull on X is the same kind of backfire that all corporations and political sentiments will experience in the years to come and on a much more ostentatious scale.  Like the Epcot Center, the World Economic Forum’s view of the future was dying and outdated.  It was SpaceX that represented all the opportunities that were coming from a future being designed by capitalism.  And now Elon Musk was fully committed.  Disney had lost that final battle toward forcing the world to become a global citizen at the cost of innovation and freedom.  And if there was any indicator of the things to come, it was that.

The Hidden Benefit of ‘Godzilla Minus One’: Understanding Budgets and Costs Imposed by organized labor and anti-capitalist Activities

There is another essential attribute of the new Godzilla film, Godzilla Minus One, at the heart of the global populist movement that is important to talk about.  Probably the most important thing in the world that has lingered always in the background and is now apparent for all to see.  In talking about how good Godzilla Minus One is, the obvious question everyone has is how could Japan produce a movie like this when the same kind of blockbuster produced by Disney in America would cost 300 million dollars.  The average moviegoer could watch Godzilla Minus One, Indiana Jones, and the Dial of Destiny and think they are of the same quality in every category: acting, special effects, music, writing, scale of production, everything.  So how was Godzilla Minus One so profitable, whereas all the current Hollywood productions or movies anywhere in the world these days, especially where the financial influence of the World Economic Forum has its hands in the production, are not able to compete?  Well, this is something I have been talking about for many decades and I said this was going to happen to the film industry for many years.  Unionized labor has destroyed the financial models of movie production, shown dramatically when a foreign film like Godzilla Minus One is shown in a movie theater along with the latest blockbusters produced by Hollywood and other markets.  Because of many market conditions unique to recovery from COVID lockdowns, theater owners are desperate to show anything that the public might want to see.  Just two or three years ago, a movie like Godzilla Minus One would not have played in a movie theater in the United States.  People would never see it, but in today’s market, where Hollywood products can’t keep up with demand, a movie like Godzilla Minus One gets a chance to be seen, which has burst down the door to an issue that can only be revealed by direct competition.   

Much of the way we are told about success in the world has been shaped by labor unions attached to the film industry, the mainstream media, and government reporting.  The ultimate solution to broken budgets and general performance everywhere in the world, no matter the product, is to make labor unions illegal, especially in government work and situations that prevent a competitive environment.  America has gone through just this sort of thing when it comes to the car industry, or most sectors of manufacturing that can’t compete with cheap foreign labor.  Well, it is not that the labor is cheap in foreign markets, but instead that the communist labor unions, all of which were formed out of elements of Marxism, have driven up the cost of labor not just in the increases in headcount but in how much each one actually costs.  When the government reports the numbers, as they do in American and European markets, of course, they will give a spin that suits them, not necessarily one that is reflected in reality.  Then, when the trade journals are either in unions themselves or are very sympathetic, the coverage has been how much studios spend on movies to make, not on their quality.  This has certainly been the case with Disney where to satisfy their radical employee base, all connected to labor unions, the approach has been to just outrun the costs, which have crippled them in 2023.  When it costs 500 million dollars to get a blockbuster out the door and into a theater, disaster is not far behind.  For a lot of these Hollywood productions, a movie budget to satisfy all the labor demands that you see at the end credits of every motion picture, 200-300 million on actually making the movie, then another 200 million in marketing to feed the machine, a film has to make a billion dollars at the box office to get into a profit category, and that just isn’t realistic, as Disney has discovered in 2023. 

Then, to make matters worse, these Disney movies have been loaded with content people don’t want to see.  The filmmaking has been lazy, and the product is lackluster when it gets to the screen.  It shows when all the people making the movie are only in it to get paid.  A film like Godzilla Minus One was created by hungry filmmakers full of passion, evident in what ended up on the screen, shocking many people.  But this is the exact reason why government reforms never happen and why budgets get wrecked in all production environments where Marxist labor unions have driven up costs and taken away the ambition of good merit from the products they produce, such as in public education in America that has become useless to most people for all the same reasons.  The labor costs too much and doesn’t do enough of what it’s supposed to.  When labor unions take over the management of an endeavor, they determine the pay rate and how many people need to be involved in the process, which then blows up all the financial attributes.  In a situation like this, where a side-by-side comparison isn’t usually available, the problem becomes apparent in the movie industry.  But this same rot is in just about every endeavor that involves money and financing, even in American intelligence agencies.  I will have some serious horror stories to provide about the CDC and how President Reagan was thinking of cutting the entire department, giving rise to Dr. Fauci’s radicalism.  Most bad things happen when lazy people seek funding not based on performance but emotion, such as fear of a new virus that can be manufactured in a lab and released from Wuhan, China.  That’s a topic all its own. 

The trick in hiding all this from the public has been to control the narrative, and the labor unions have been attached to most of the reporting.  But in 2023, because the declining Hollywood product has most abused theater owners, they have had to turn to direct competition to survive, which has set up this obvious matchup.  The same occurred when the Japanese entered the car market, and the Big Three in America found they could not compete in cost and quality because unionized labor took away competitive factors that could keep the costs down for the consumer.  Most of the problems in the world, including the CRs that Speaker Johnson is trying to work through Congress to keep the government open, are due to the outrageous costs of supporting all those expensive government employees.  Even the funding of Ukraine, which has been a topic, is to spend billions of dollars to pay for the massive administrative state government there to support this globalist employment structure.  All of them are failing under their weight; what they do for the world isn’t worth the money it costs to keep them.  Populism is rising everywhere because people would rather see Godzilla Minus One than the latest holiday offering by Disney and the other major studios.  The labor unions seek to destroy competition to justify their outrageous costs and sluggish performance.  But because of their actions, they have forced competition to overtake them to satisfy the market demands of a hungry public that wants to see a good movie, buy a nice car, or have a government that works for them and doesn’t get in the way of what society needs.  I know we are in a time when union supporters are moving toward Trump, and Trump is pro-union, and it’s not as much of a political issue for Republicans as it has been or should be.  But when you want to know why things are so expensive, why so many useless people perform the work, and how they keep their jobs underperforming constantly, the source is the Marxist labor unions that have embedded themselves in the process.  Where they aren’t, the quality and profit improve dramatically.  And if we are ever going to drain the swamp, the government unions will have to be made illegal.  And any future budget controls taken out of their hands, from the local public school to the control of the FBI and CIA.  Organized labor has destroyed them all.
