Racism as a Weapon of Marxism: The violence in Cincinnati was about more than name calling

There is a lot wrong with what the mayor of Cincinnati, Aftab Pureval, did after the fight that broke out in the streets after a music festival that became a grotesque example of violence from minority communities.  And the reason for it was perfectly uttered by city councilwoman Victoria Parks, who said in the aftermath, “They begged for that beat down!  I am grateful for the whole story.”  Regarding some white victims of a horrible beating, where a mob of attackers consolidated on them ruthlessly.  A young woman by the name of Holly ended up sucker punched and knocked cold in the middle of the street, leading to what everyone already assumes: it’s dangerous for white people to walk around downtown.  Otherwise, they might get attacked like these people did after a music festival.  And they might not live through the encounter.  The whole incident has brought up something much worse that needs to be discussed, and that is how Marxism has been taught in these communities of color to destabilize capitalism in America and how they have hidden it behind skin color to always have a destabilizing element present to undercut American society.  It’s not a matter of skin color that is the problem; it’s what people believe and how racism has given them a victimized status that is always ready to advance elements of socialism to a cityscape environment, to destabilize it.  As the city leaders were getting vast amounts of criticism from Senator Bernie Moreno, Vivek Ramaswamy, Jennifer Gross, and many others, they dug in even deeper on the mob rule elements and justification for the beatings that took place on July 26th in the small hours of the morning.  It doesn’t matter what camera angle you look at; there was no justification for the mob that broke out to do what they did, because it wasn’t about words and feelings.  What they did intended permanent harm to the victims and was brutally hostile in its intent. 

There are very few people who get called as many names as I do.  Most of the people I know dislike me for some reason or another.  They might be nice to my face, but behind my back, they hate me very much and call me every name in the book, and even some in books that have never been written.  So I can say authentically that no amount of name-calling justifies the violence that we saw in Cincinnati.  It doesn’t matter what anybody said to anybody; nothing justifies a fight at that level. Remember, sticks and stones?  People would do well to teach that to young kids in school once again.  Instead, political movements like what we have experienced from Democrats have sought to use victimization status to weaponize entire groups of people, preferably by color, into doing their work of radicalism in overthrowing American society.  The things people say to me are that people wouldn’t say such nasty things about me if I fought people more.  But the truth is, I care so little for what people think of me that I don’t waste time on it.  To get violent with someone to convince them to change their mind, you have to care what they think, and I just don’t.  And for the people of color to react to something that a group of white Russians said to them that they believe provoked this level of violence, they would have to care what those white people thought of them to get upset about it.  I never get upset when people call me names because I don’t care what they think. 

And as far as conflicts, and I know Vivek Ramaswamy thinks this way as well, there is no reason to fight people with violence when you can destroy them with debate.  If you have to resort to violence to get your point across, you have already lost.  As I tell people who criticize me for my lack of engagement with my enemies, I say it’s because forcing someone to think something out of fear of a beating is an dishonest exchange.  I would rather want to know what they believe than to beat them into submission to make them think what I want them to.  The best tool for convincing people to accept your way about something isn’t to win them over the head with pain and suffering, but to convince them that what you think is in their self-interest.  So when there is violence like this, there is a lot wrong that indicates a very unhealthy society.  And racism isn’t the problem.  Racisim is the weapon of the Marxist movement in America that has been trying to advance socialism and communism in communities of color to use their lack of judgment to build armies on the street to drive through fear a social discourse, such as, white people aren’t welcome on the streets of Cincinnati, especially after dark unless they appease the tribal chiefs of the community like visitors from a foreign land.  Never forget, it was Republicans who freed the enslaved people, who fought a civil war to free people of color.  Democrats were fighting to keep people slaves, and that is still a problem, because people of color are still serving the political efforts of Democrats.  All the problems of this fight are Democrat problems.  Republicans have been the critics.

We’re talking about purposely not knowing what good conduct is in society and believing, because people on city council like Victoria Parks, or Mayor Pureval let them think it as social victims, that violence is acceptable as a means to restore to them as people of color, a restitution to the notion that all American society was built on the backs of slave labor.  Slave labor that those same Democrats utilized and fought a war to continue, against Republicans.  So racism in this case, and most cases, has been kept alive to drive forward Democrat complaints about the kind of society Republicans want to build, which then becomes a quest to destroy capitalism with Marxism, and that is the case with most race wars all across the world.  And people never get around to talking about it properly because Democrats need a hostile demographic that will fight for change, meaning a shift from capitalism to micromanaged socialism, or even communism.  A quick study around the world among most race troubles will have as its root cause provoked racism to create the ground troops for change, which is what was behind the fight in Cincinnati, Ohio, after that music festival.  White people aren’t allowed to say anything to people of color, otherwise they will get a beating down.  And that is the message of fear that is laying territorial claim to all that the taxpayer streets of Cincinnati belong to the mob, not the people with property value who pay for everything.  It doesn’t matter what anyone said to each other; there was nothing that deserved what happened.  The city was likely not well-prepared for the music festival.  It was Democrat incompetence on all levels.  But it wasn’t all because they were stupid.  Most of it was part of the planned attack against capitalist society by overt Marxists hiding their malice behind skin color to advance their diabolical cause.  And that was why there was violence in Cincinnati.  It’s not about fairness or equality.  It was exclusively about overthrowing our society and strengthening Marxist cells within American culture for power politics from a Democratic viewpoint.  And it is ruthless on all levels and can’t be tolerated.

We Have To Teach People Why Capitalism is Good: The Vivek Ramaswamy approach to Zohran Mamdani

I think people misread Vivek Ramaswamy’s comments about Zohran Mamdani incorrectly, for the most part.  However, when Vivek placed an ad in New York challenging the socialist candidate for mayor to a debate, it raised several interesting questions that will undoubtedly be part of future discussions about politics.  Vivek, of course, is jumping into the conversation about New York politics because, as a capitalist who made a lot of money in New York and is now planning to be the governor of Ohio, he is uniquely positioned to have a debate with what the political left thinks of as a bright young star, in Mamdani.  But critics of communism and socialism expect a more visceral hatred of Mamdani than Vivek shows to people.  I’ve had the fortune of knowing Vivek personally, and this is true for most people: bright individuals who can debate any topic with anyone don’t have to get defensive every time a challenge arises to their belief system.  So Vivek can have a very cerebral discussion about Mamdani without getting too upset that the trend in Democrat politics is a radical leaning towards far-left, Marxist policies.  And most people have been taught, through years of Cold War policy from the over 50s crowd and onward, that we are to approach communists and socialists with anger, like they are the invaders we saw in the movie Red Dawn.  Vivek comes from a much younger generation, and that’s a good thing because, in the post-Trump years, many things are going to change.  People are realizing right now, and with Mamdani, just how dangerous all the socialist instruction in our public schools has been.  And most young people have had extensive exposure to it through public education. For too many voters, this issue has snuck up on them, evoking a lot of fear in people like Mamdani.

I have been warning everyone about the problems with socialism for many years.  And while public schools don’t overtly have classes teaching Marxism in general, it is implicit in the background of almost everything done in the teaching process, including in kindergarten, when the teacher instructs you to share your toys with your neighbor.  And that everyone is equal.  Vivek Ramaswamy’s approach to the communist problem is to debate it, because he can.  Not to fight them in the streets or call them names.  There are many young people, like Zohran Mamdani, who will be able to utilize social media to capture the attention of young voters who lack opportunities to surpass their parents’ achievements.  For many young people who can’t afford to buy their own home or have children, life seems unappealing and not worth fighting for.  While most MAGA supporters of today’s politics likely have their own car, their own home with lots of property, maybe even a boat.  Several kids.  A pretty good life, and something that they want to defend from people who want to take all that from them.  Vivek understands that the under-50 crowd has vastly different motivations and perspectives, and that they don’t feel the need to fight for anything, because, from their perspective, they don’t have much to fight for.  Their minds have mainly been rotted out by the public education experience that taught them all the wrong Marxist things about social equality and the value of private property ownership.  Therefore, portraying our political enemies as revolting figures will not win over new voters, because those new voters essentially share Mamdani’s perspective. 

That’s why the future of the MAGA movement needs to include people like Vivek Ramaswamy and J.D. Vance, who can debate any issue with anyone, anywhere.  And Vivek certainly can, and that is the way to win over the next generation of voters.  If, during the Trump years, the goal was to overcome all the lies that had been told to us by a government that sought global socialism as its governing principle, now the shoe is on the other foot.  It’s not enough to question the government of socialists and to run them out of office.  The problem that J.D. Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy will face with young people is that many of them have to be taught the virtues of capitalism from scratch.  We can’t just hold up Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations and tell them to read it.  They need to understand it relative to their thoughts as young socialists who we have let get out of control, rob away their hopes and dreams.  Fighting socialism and communism with the kind of Cold War hatred that we have in the past won’t work on today’s social media.  Capitalism has to be sold to people all over again.  It will help to have a successful Trump administration to point to so that young socialists can see for themselves how much better a capitalist system is than their socialist and communist teachings.  In the world’s plans, they never thought a Trump character would ever hold a position of power, revealing just how powerful capitalism could be.  His election was crucial in many ways at this particular point in history.  But do not assume that the new generation will have a hatred for communism as previous generations in America have.  It’s quite the opposite.  Most young people will have to be taught from scratch why capitalism is so much better, because they certainly haven’t been taught why in school, or entertainment, or their social groups. 

The shock everyone has felt at hearing Mamdani utter outright communist sentiment, wanting to be the mayor of New York City, what many think of as the capitalist capital of the world, is the reality that this new generation of young people is more prone to accept elements of Marxism because it’s all they know.  And for many, this issue snuck up on them as they realized how much of modern-day social media is dominated by young people who are just like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and now Mamdani.  We say today they won’t and can’t win elections if this is what the Democrat Party is.  However, this is what the Democratic Party has been for quite some time.  They just hid it all behind a social mask, but it’s always been there, and now that people see it and hear them talk, the realization they have toward it is hatred.  However, be cautious not to demonize all these young socialists, as the goal is to win over that generation in a competitive race for the minds of a new generation.  And understand that capitalism has to be sold to them because they were not taught its value, and they do not have a natural love for it.  It will take someone like Vivek Ramaswamy to explain it to them and show them why it works.  They can’t expect just to read Adam Smith’s book and draw their conclusions.  They will have to be taught, with considerable debate.  And Vivek is just the right mind for all that.  He understands the problem all too well, even as many are just now waking up to it and have been caught off guard.  The next generation in America has to be mainly taught from scratch.  Their minds have been ruined.  And hating them won’t convince them to join you.  We have to earn them to our side person for person.

The Greatness of Truth Social: Controlling market viability

Strategically speaking, as history views it, Trump’s commitment to the social media platform Truth Social will be the defining characteristic that was most important in the political movement that has reshaped the world.   And not enough people are talking about its importance.  But as I have said for a long time, and it’s more obvious now than ever, Trump’s creation of Truth Social, after he was kicked off Twitter following the 2020 election, will always be known as the most important thing he did.  And when it mattered most, just as the many court cases against Trump through lawfare were about to collapse upon him and he was facing hundreds of years in jail and things were looking very bleak, it was his ownership of Truth Social that completely reversed his financial fortunes back into the billions of dollars and took the gas out of the efforts against him, legally.  It’s quite an extraordinary story and is a lesson for all who study these kinds of things.  I love Truth Social; I was one of the very first people to join it as a social media platform, and I see it only getting better with time.  Even though the news that Elon Musk bought Twitter and renamed it X has captured everyone’s attention, Truth Social has quietly gained some market dominance worth discussing.  X has been a significantly improved social media platform under Elon Musk’s ownership, but it has seen a decline in influence.  It has maintained its value to some extent, despite Musk’s claim that X is the number one app in Japan.  There is significant growth on these social media platforms.  However, Truth Social under Trump has emerged as the next great thing, and at a considerable time.

Like many people on Truth Social, I received an offer to participate in their Patriot Package, which provides access to what they call Truth+.  It’s like Disney+ but without all the liberal programming.  So I accepted their offer and have been very impressed with it.   As I started using it, I have been thinking that this is the next best thing in entertainment to come out.  It works a lot like Roku and has its lineup of programming, complete with a TV guide that you can access on your television or computer.  But the programming is better, and this is early in the process.  Already, it has Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News, as well as many other shows, such as The WarRoom, which is on Real America’s Voice, a news station that emerged to challenge Fox News during the same period of post-2020 censorship.  However, there is also sports coverage on it, as well as other programming that is growing, making it a viable entertainment option.  So Truth Social isn’t just a social media app where you can express opinions and get some basic news.  It’s becoming a complete entertainment package that is a real game changer for the media in general and decentralizes information in dramatic ways.  Even though Elon Musk restored President Trump’s X account once he gained ownership, and it could be said that a lot of what made Trump a great candidate in 2016 was his Twitter account where people could see him unfiltered from the media, Trump has kept his exclusive content confined to Truth Social out of loyalty and the necessity of development.  And it has paid off. 

I wasn’t sure what to think about Truth Social over these last few years.  I thought it was great that Trump could continue to post his opinions directly to the public, and people could pick up his message and carry it everywhere else.  And it has worked; it has dramatically decentralized the way a president of the White House communicates with the public.  For as long as there has been a media culture, they have had control over how and what communication is disseminated to the public.  This is something I learned several years ago: it is far better to provide your content to the public, even if fewer people initially see it, than to be accepted by a mainstream media outlet that has its own political goals.  Which we certainly saw with Fox News against Trump when they sought to make him a non-person.  That has been a widespread tactic and for well over a hundred years, has been a real problem regarding free speech.  Sure, you can say and think what you want, but what if nobody can hear it?  For a long time, newspapers and broadcasting dominated the narrative.  Twitter wasn’t the first social media platform to emerge, but it was among the first to provide alternatives, even if, under different leadership, it had a controlled intelligence narrative to steer society toward mass socialism, until Elon Musk changed that.  However, it remains that Truth Social is the official mouthpiece of President Trump, making it historically significant, and now emerging as something that I think will push the rest of the cord-cutters over the edge.  And Trump will replace people like Ted Turner as the king of entertainment options.  A sitting American president has never had the advantage of a personal media platform, which has been a source of incredible frustration for many American presidents, especially Theodore Roosevelt.  What Trump has been doing with Truth Social has been epic, but its significance is just getting started.

And when you control the message, or can’t, it decides what people want through the freedom of information.  In this way, people can express their political opinions without the filter of tampering to determine market viability.  Since the invention of mass media, essentially the printing press, human beings have never had this option authentically.  And now, through Truth Social, and subsequently Truth+, which you access through your regular social media account, there is a competitive option to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and Hulu.  Once you pull up Truth+ on your television, it navigates through the channels just like Roku and Spectrum.  So this is a significant improvement for a social media platform that emerged essentially to give President Trump, sent into exile in the world, a voice to continue stating his opinions, and not to let him fall into the dust of history, as Rupert Murdoch indicated they would make him, which was a non-person.  Trump, out of necessity, has become the next entertainment mogul, and that is what it has taken to preserve the concept of free speech, even as we saw from the world just how dangerous it was to have all entertainment controlled by a radical leftist few.  Truth Social, through market capitalism, has emerged as a surprising frontrunner, and the world is changing dramatically as a result.  The goal isn’t to tell people what to think, but to let market viability determine which ideas emerge, as the speech is truly free for the first time. People tend to gravitate to where they can most express themselves through entertainment consumption, making Truth Social more than just a social media platform that communicates President Trump’s opinions.  But an entertainment platform that can replace what we have known in the past with something much better.  And if you are thinking of joining the Patriot Package for yourself, you can’t go wrong.

Violance in Downtown Cincinnati: The political result of using racism as a weapon of social unrest

It’s one of those incidents where soft policy on minority communities baked into skin color profiles and years of Democrat radicalism caused a lot of harm.  After the Cincinnati Music Festival downtown at the corner of West Fourth Street and Elm Street on July 26th, 2025, a massive fight broke out where obvious violence toward a white couple by a large gathering of people of color exploded due to a very light police presence, and it went on for way too long.  This mob hurt people, and the mob under any conditions shouldn’t have been allowed to grow like that into such a menace.  People from the scene have said that the fight broke out due to racial comments, but there isn’t anything that could have been said that justified the violence that was captured by hundreds of cell phones and was distributed online, beating all the mainstream news outlets in content.  In the video I provide, I took one of the best clips of the violence that I saw and walk people through it for context.  It was out of control, and it was a violent episode perpetuated by a large group of people who felt entitled due to their skin color, and the social acceptance of violence perpetuated by political efforts to present a degraded condition in a part of downtown Cincinnati that is supposed to be one of the best in the area.  This site was just up from the sports stadiums, so it’s a part of town where the economic situation has been a priority, and here was a massive fight that showed obvious racial violence getting national news in a very embarrassing way.  The incident itself was bad on many fronts, but under any conditions, no matter what was said by anybody, public displays of violence like this have no place in our society, and the Cincinnati Police Department, the Mayor, and the City Council are going to have to explain all this.  Because in a lot of ways, they lit the fuse to this violence through their racial policies by feeding that monster for many years leading up to this unfortunate event. 

https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/1949431682060189731

I was very proud of the Covington Police Department, which fought against the ICE protesters trying to shut down the bridge over into Kentucky, just a short distance from where this big fight broke out.  But what was missing was the police arresting people and beating them up for disturbing the peace.  The City of Cincinnati made great news around the nation for showing intolerance for violence in trying to shut down an important bridge and vandalizing property by a group of socialist radicals who had no right to do so.  But given the nature of any music festival that combines alcohol and late nights without much of a police presence, bad things were bound to happen, and by the way things transpired, it almost looks like the political figures involved with Cincinnati City Council wanted this kind of violence to take place.  And when it did, there was an unspoken agreement between them and the mob.  I can promise one thing about all involved in that violence: none of them were Republicans.  Law and Order, GOP voters don’t behave like that.  But Democrats who have been bred into their social positions through color revolution propaganda, where outside money pours into minority communities to create instability, the results are mobs who behave with such violence as we saw in Cincinnati during late July 2025.  The only way to describe the people doing all the punching and repeated kicks to the head was the same kind of people who would support ANTIFA rallies, or protest in flash riots after a police shooting.  And even though the police union won’t want to admit it, they might blame the light police coverage on budget restrictions, workforce supply, and other issues, the unspoken truth is that this music festival was going to involve a lot of people of color, and nobody wants that kind of controversy on their record, so they went light on the coverage and violence exploded anyway.

We need to have law and order for everyone, and everyone must play by the same rules.  We can’t allow progressive talking points to allow one set of behavior for one group of people and to let another group of people off the hook because of the color of their skin, and the propensity for public relations nightmares to happen if someone from that demographic group gets arrested and shown all over national television for roughing up minorities.  To avoid such controversy, the police would rather roll the dice and hope nothing bad happens than to have something bad happen that would attach them to international news.  And when violence like what we saw here does break out, I’m sure there is relief among their police ranks that at least it wasn’t one of their members involved in that video footage.  It was better to let it play out, watch the video, and arrest the people involved after everything cooled off.  But the fight went on for far too long.  The media didn’t want to cover the story because it was a no-win situation.  And the lack of justice only makes it easier in the future for people to get away with worse, because they didn’t get punished the first time.  In many ways, the lack of punishment for past wrongs led to this complete social breakdown because the participants felt entitled to conduct violence, due to the politics involved.

However, here’s the thing: when people wonder why people move to the suburbs, this is your reason.  They don’t want to be around gangs of thugs who behave like this.  Cincinnati has made an effort to make downtown friendly, encouraging young people to make Over-the-Rhine a cool and hip destination.  But looming among the population, there is a lot of crime and a lot of bad racial violence that happens but gets underreported because nobody wants it to explode across the nightly news.  If cars get broken into while visiting the economic zones, the news doesn’t report on it because they don’t want to destabilize the radical groups who live in the area.  And that is the genuine fault here: the failure to realize that many of the people we are luring in for economic reasons can interact with the dinosaurs, and we expect them not to be eaten by the dangerous animals is unrealistic.  And if we aren’t going to have better security than what we saw at that Cincinnati Music Festival, then we shouldn’t have events downtown.  It is because of a fear of this very thing that, after a Bengals game or the Reds, people get back in their cars and go back to the suburbs.  Because they don’t want to be attacked by wild animals, encouraged by Democrat politics to riot over anything and everything.  And now Cincinnati has a major black eye that I find embarrassing.  The police should have been there to beat the hell out of all the malcontents, no matter what their skin color was.  And their failure to support law and order under all conditions paved the way for this violence to happen.  Ultimately, that falls on the city’s politics.  They created the environment that allowed for that violence to occur because the participants had no fear at all of law enforcement.  And that is why things broke out so violently.  The footage shows clearly, no matter what was said, nobody deserved to be beaten like what that couple was, especially the woman with the dress on who was cold cocked in the face and knocked out unconscious in the middle of the street.  Those images will cause a lot more trouble than if the police had arrested troublemakers early and dealt with the political fallout later.  But it was Democratic policies that made the whole fire ready to burn, which is why people tend to avoid going downtown for anything if they can, because there is always the potential for violence, which nobody wants to deal with.

More Rumors to Address: Do Lakota school board members dance on table tops drunk and naked

We’ve already discussed what is on the Rumor Has It website that Lakota schools produce to address a narrative they’d like to control.  But when it comes to public relations, which is what that official website of the school intends, you can learn a lot more about the people behind the website from what they don’t want to talk about, as opposed to what they do.  And in that regard, there is a big rumor running around out there about the school board itself, and how they behave at out-of-town education conferences that come up every time I speak to people in public about Lakota schools.  When the Lakota school board comes up, one particular incident instantly comes to mind, and it permeates the conversation for the duration.  I happen to know that this incident is not a rumor, as I have been informed about it by another school board member with direct knowledge.  But I was also told about it by the wife of the former superintendent, as she was explaining in great detail the crazy sexual exploits of her husband, for which this same school board knew about, and participated in a very destructive cover-up that involved police reports and all kinds of public debate.  While this isn’t a new story, as it involves members of the current school board, many of these individuals have survived several election cycles since.  Their supporters don’t care about any bad behavior exhibited at these social events. I might care about it and think it’s reprehensible.  However, voters who were aware of the trouble voted for these school board members anyway, and as far as I’m concerned, that sets the record straight regarding the kind of people on the school board and how they represent the community. 

https://www.lakotaonline.com/resources/community-resources/rumor-has-it

The incident we are talking about involved a lot of drinking to the point of severe intoxication and dancing on tabletops in full view of the public.  There is some cell phone footage circulating, but these are not pretty people.  It’s not appealing footage.  And the whole evening collapsed into a puking session, face down next to a toilet with clothes missing.  So if the Rumor Has It page wants to address rumors in the community and put a different spin on the kind of people who find that behavior reprehensible, there is a lot they could say to get a positive narrative.  Such as an argument that these same school board members tried to make about the superintendent, who was found to have an excessive sexual lifestyle that they declared was private.  Because they thought his public job was worth the cost of his private faults.  When I hear that kind of thing, I hear dollar signs because it costs a lot of money for people to hide private faults from public opinion.  Which I would argue is the whole reason behind this facility’s plan; it was conceived by people with major private frailties to hide from the public a title of respect gained through the building of new schools.  It is not uncommon for people who have experienced significant personal failures to seek public acceptance through titles and accreditation, in an attempt to hide them from the world.  It happens all the time, and would undoubtedly be something to talk about on the Rumor Has It webpage.  They could say on it that school board members at Lakota are only human and have human needs for drunkenness and sexual repression that need to be expressed through dancing and the removal of clothes, and what they do in their private life is their private business, even though they are on the road representing the Lakota School District.  What happens at education conventions stays at education conventions. 

However, that’s not what’s happening here. The purpose of the Rumor Has It website is to control the narrative, and that incident is one that they would like the public to forget.  They already have their supporters, who don’t see anything wrong with the behavior.  However, for those who find that behavior devastating, they may not have heard much about it unless the school addressed the issue on its website.  Because the local media certainly didn’t cover the story.  But you can’t keep something like that quiet, and among the kind of conservative voters I speak with, the church goers, the family-first GOP types, this whole incident is all the rage.  They certainly didn’t vote for these current school board members. Instead, they worked to replace them with new board members, only to have them resign amid great controversy.  And oddly enough, during all these news stories, this drinking incident that was on the tips of everyone’s tongues never made it into the newspaper or television coverage.  So, people shake their heads, and the story takes on a life of its own, permeating the background of every social gathering.  Because the school’s strategy isn’t transparent, it’s only talking about the kinds of things it wants, even listing the topics it has on the Rumor Has It website as a diversion from the real problems.  It’s not CRT that is the problem, at Lakota, even though that is one problem.  It’s not the policy of public comments.  The transgender bathroom debates.  It’s the quality of the school board members themselves and how they lead other adult employees.  And when stories like the drunken binge are floating around out there, of course the other unionized employees are going to point to it to justify their bad behavior, such as dating other students, getting caught with porn addictions, and other human resource disasters that come from a culture that says, “I’m only human, so don’t judge me.” 

When they don’t talk about it, more is said than what could otherwise be because the point of the page is to direct people’s attention to the topics they want to talk about, and to rally their progressive base.  Not to address serious issues.  A typical PR firm could easily make a statement about the pressures of running a school, noting that while out of town and away from their families, everyone deserves to let off a little steam, even if it involves a bit of indulgence, such as puking, and the clothes end up missing.  Everyone is just trying to do a good job, and what they do during their private time is their own business.  But saying that indicates bad judgment, and how can people who make those bad judgments also be held credible when it comes to asking the community to spend half a billion dollars on new taxes to pay to tear down old buildings and build new ones?  How can people trust those individuals with the quote process, given that they are prone to poor judgment in their private lives?  Why wouldn’t that same bad judgment carry over into their public roles as school board members?  So, to avoid all that, the Rumor Has It page simply avoids addressing it, which tells you everything you need to know about their intentions with the page.  It’s not about finding the truth or clarifying rumors.  It’s about controlling the narrative, and they seem to think so little of the public that they expect to get away with it.  This only makes people angrier and destroys the brand of the school because of the liberal nature of the people who run it and what they expect their roles to be in the process.  And to avoid the opinions of a public that sees such social behavior as expensive camouflage to social causes meant to hide private failures.  To avoid that can of worms, the topic is not mentioned, even though it’s the only thing people care about.

I will never vote for any more money to public schools, I think they are a broken mess that teaches all the wrong things to kids.  I believe government schools are detrimental to our society, so I’m always a hard ‘no’ on any tax increases.  I despise the socialist nature of the way the public education system was created.  However, as a community issue, many voters support or oppose various aspects for a multitude of reasons.  As long as these school board members remain on the board, I don’t see the public supporting any tax increases. If they truly want a chance to pass any levies, they should resign for the good of the school.  If they want to be competitive in a voucher environment, people will take their kids to places that don’t have stories like the one mentioned here hanging in the background all the time.  The mistakes of the past are what will hold back any passage of a levy request and are part of the reason it has been over a decade since a levy has passed.  People have strong feelings about these stories that emerge when a school district requests more funding, and because many people are aware of the issues, even if they don’t mention them on the Rumor Has It website, they still have knowledge and will vote accordingly.  And even if they have gotten away with much, as long as these school board members are running the show, people aren’t going to give them more money off their property taxes.  Because there are just too many damaged relationships with the community to support a tax increase, I think they will probably have to learn that with a few tax attempts that will be very bloody and embarrassing before they learn the hard lesson.  And by then, we’ll have a new governor in Ohio, and School Choice will expand significantly.  And parents aren’t going to want to send their kids to a school where the school board is so messed up.  And the Lakota school will learn all too late that the rumors they didn’t talk about destroyed their economic viability, and they’ll only have themselves to blame.

Dismantaling the Department of Education: The Ohio House overrides DeWine’s veto on property taxes

Remember, I told you this was going to happen, and now it is.  However, with the July 14th ruling by the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision, the court granted the Trump administration’s request to temporarily pause a federal judge’s order that required the Department of Education to reinstate nearly 1,400 employees fired as part of a reduction-in-force.  The majority ruling lifted the injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Myong Joun in Massachusetts, who had concluded that the administration’s actions aimed to dismantle the department without congressional approval and couldn’t be done.  A lot was happening with this ruling, which is why I am so proud of the tie clip I always wear that people comment on so much. I got it at the Supreme Court when I visited there in March, ahead of all these significant rulings.  Regional district judges were not going to be able to stop the Trump administration, and the mass layoffs that would dismantle the Department of Education were going to happen, sending the management of education back to the states, where, in Ohio, we know what that means with the incoming new governor, Vivek Ramaswamy.  Many education-oriented individuals point to a decision like this and argue that we are becoming a country not committed to education.  However, it’s the exact opposite; we need to get the administrative types out of the way so that positive reform in education can happen. This is why a Governor like Ramaswamy in Ohio is so important, as he has many fresh ideas that would improve education.  And getting the Department of Education types out of the way makes all that possible.  There is a lot to be happy about, but it’s hardly a surprise.  I’ve been warning about it for years, and as of 2025, everything is right on schedule. 

I would also add on July 21st 2025 in the state of Ohio the Ohio House voted 61-28 to override Governor DeWine’s vetos on property tax measures in the 2026-2027 budgets, specifically Item 66 which eliminates the authority for political subdivisions to levy replacement property tax levies and restricts school districts levying certain types of levies such as fixed-sum emergency, substitute emergency, and combined school district income tax and fixed-sum property tax levies.  That measure is now headed to the Senate, where I fully expect it to pass, and change the way the state sees property tax in general—another benefit of the upcoming Vivek Ramaswamy administration.  Property tax is no longer the crutch for big government that it has been.  Trump’s administration is headed in a similar direction, viewing property as something precious and not forcing owners to become perpetual renters of their property through excessive taxation.  DeWine was concerned about the budget submission, specifically how property taxes are used to fund schools.  What all this means is that public school districts are going to face numerous changes, including how they collect taxes to fund union-run public schools.  It’s not just the elimination of the centralized Department of Education that is coming to them, but also in how they collect funds from local property taxes to run their progressive endeavors.  What is happening here is that education is being redefined into a marketplace value as opposed to what it has been, which has been a kind of Brave New World socialist indoctrination center that seeks to produce more Democrats as voters.  Many people believe that the previous rules have been fueling our nation’s destruction.  And across many changes, that perception is headed in a different direction.

When the Department of Education was created in 1979, it proposed using the power of the central government to protect union employees from the scrutiny of judgment while teaching children the same socialist values.  Such as taking the category of History in school and changing it to “Social Studies.”  And during this period, kids were being taught not that the creation of America was a great thing, but that it was built on the backs of enslaved people, corrupting thousands of children in the process through central government oversight, taking away from the states the ability to compete with other states for a better education system.  Because essentially, everyone was being taught the same flawed information.  Now, the priorities for education will be decided at the state level.  School Choice will become much more common, as it was well represented in Trump’s recent Big Beautiful Bill, meaning that we are moving toward a society where tax money will follow the student, not the zip code.  And that’s why this veto override in Ohio was so important, because it initiates a process of shifting away from property taxes funding all this centralized government and its growing expansion, to the point where people can no longer afford to own their property.  The public schools have, for years, not had to manage their finances well, which the teachers’ unions have been delighted with.  However, it has driven the per-pupil cost of teaching children out of the realm of reality and is too high.  This makes it impossible for the state to determine how to fund education for students, as the costs are so high and dependent on property taxes to cover the state’s funding gaps.  To achieve a truly competitive cost structure, the Department of Education must relinquish its power and be decentralized. 

What that means for public schools like Lakota, which I discuss frequently because they are in the district where I live, is that they will have to rethink everything they do.  And they will have to compete with other schools in the immediate area for the right to teach a student.  This year, in 2025, they have some costly levy requests that add up to half a billion dollars for infrastructure, the building of new schools after tearing down some of the old ones.  And for what, for teaching jobs that are changing dramatically and are being pushed by A.I. for ability.  When states like Ohio apply funding to students, rather than to the zip code institution, the fat cow that government schools have been living on will be gone.  And they are going to have to earn their dollars, which they are not used to.  This union-dominated structure was always poised to fail.  You can see it when you visit the White House; all the big unions are in the buildings just outside the front gates.  Government unions view the collection of taxes from an ever-growing government as the foundation of their existence, which means low performance standards for all involved.  However, we don’t like what these government schools have been producing, and we have been intent on changing it for the better.  And that starts with mass firings at the Department of Education by the Trump administration.  And for all the government school administrators who are tempted to cry foul, I warned you, and you should have listened. They were mad that I said such things, and now they are going to find themselves extinct. And the fault for that will be theirs, because they were told what was going to happen and did not prepare for it.   Reforms to education are necessary because what we have had has been inadequate and expensive.  And at every level, from funding to curriculum, significant changes are coming.  And schools will have to adapt, or fail to exist at all.

If You Aren’t a Good Person, Linkedln Can’t Hide It: The Affair of Andy Byron

I think I have a little more hope for humanity after the very public reaction to Andy Byron getting caught at a Coldplay concert in Boston cheating on his wife with Kristin Cabot, the head of his human resources department.  It was the now-famous Kisscam embrace where the stadium was watching the jumbotron, and the camera panned to Andy, who promptly ducked out of sight.  Nothing says I love you like fleeing the public eye.  I mean, if you are going to have an affair, maybe he should have been more proud of it.  What kind of man did the boss of human resources think she was getting from a guy who would knowingly cheat on his wife with her, and even deny it in public when caught?  The whole incident was a multitude of bad that points to a multitude of worse.  However, a lot of good did come of it, as Byron was the CEO of Astronomer, an AI tech company with many billions of dollars.  After the public’s anger circulated the world, Astronomer dropped him as their CEO, which is undoubtedly a step in the right direction.  I mean, how can you make deals with people if they can’t trust you to at least be honorable to a person closest to you, as a wife?  What does it say about anybody if they can’t make one basic relationship at home work?  How are they supposed to create a culture among many employees if they can’t do it successfully?  I tend to be very skeptical of most people and the way they maintain their marriages.  I think people are too easily lax with the rules, and it shows a lot about their character when they do cheat.  I can’t imagine why a grown man with adult children would want to attend a musical concert.  But the public reaction to the affair was a pleasant surprise. 

Of course, kisscams all across the world started to make fun of the incident, as most people saw the way Andy Byron handled the whole situation as inherently evil.  It’s not a good idea to cheat on your wife.  But now you’re a billionaire and a successful person, maybe thinking of starting a new relationship to outpace the mistakes of a previous one.  That might appear to be a justifiable reason.  But with your head of human resources at your company?  Aren’t there other girls to cheat with if you are thinking of doing it?  And it looked like there were other people there from the office who knew of this affair because they were embarrassed too, once they were caught.  What does that say about everyone involved?  If you have to duck away from cameras, you are probably up to no good, and what’s worse is when someone does something anyway.  It reveals a lack of good judgment, which raises questions about why he was ever appointed as a CEO in the first place.  I know people go to a lot of trouble to look good on paper with their resumes and LinkedIn professional profiles, but they often fail to meet the expectations of reality, which is very common these days, especially in CEO positions.  Anybody who would go to a music concert as a middle-aged person with their head of human resources and openly flaunt an affair to the world, but acts like a coward when caught, is showing terrible judgment that fancy interviews and speeches can’t hide.  People are aware of this, and it highlights a deeper issue with individuals who run companies, as Andy Bryon did. 

When you are a compromised person, and let’s face it, we have a system that has been put in place in our employment culture where we put weak people in positions of power on purpose so that they fall very easily to every little woke rule, or letter from Larry Fink.  And CEOs like Andy Byron lecture the rest of the world toward progressive causes.  Much of what they do as leaders is cosmetic to cover up their lack of personal integrity.  They use their jobs to cover for their low moral conduct.  And nobody knows a person better than their family.  If things aren’t great in the bedroom and with your kids, we have a culture that has given the illusion that a job can replace those valiant efforts with a personal title of social respect.  And if you are cheating on your wife and kids with some other woman, especially one who is supposed to enforce a standard at the workplace against such actions, a level of hypocrisy has been revealed that clearly shows people have strong opinions about the matter.  And if people are outraged, that’s a good thing.  We often don’t get to see people like Andy Byron beyond news clips.  But behavior tells us far more about people, and that takes all the fancy talk you see on resumes and makes them much more real.  Nothing says I love you more than ducking for cover when trouble comes.  And nothing shows leadership more than violating all your company rules and showing everyone that you can’t even maintain a marriage.  So how can you lead a company, or even a department?  If you have such bad judgment on little things, then how can you guide billions of dollars of value to the proper place?  The answer is you can’t.

When Byron and his lover Kristin Cabot were caught, it was a classic male-to-female embrace from behind.  When a woman surrenders herself in such a passive way, it’s undoubtedly a mating response to further advancement, leading to sexual intercourse.  It’s an affirmation of safety, that the embrace of a man will make her feel secure with his arms around her, and she holding elements of his arms to show a willingness to be in the passive sexual role.  If the woman were doing the same to the man, it would be weird.  A larger male embracing a smaller female for sexual union by asserting safety and security to the recipient of sex is a classic signal that everyone understands.  But to affirm that it was all phony in an instant, that all the personal contact and pillow talk were as flimsy as Andy Byron himself, was something everyone also understood the moment he dodged the camera once he realized he was caught.  And she did too.  It was a fun affair as long as nobody knew about it.  Or that everyone at the office knew, but that they thought they could all conspire to keep it a secret from the world.  People don’t like that kind of behavior, and they let everyone know it in the aftermath.  And people were not understanding of Andy Byron.  They looked down on him, and that is a good thing.  That means people aren’t all out there cheating on each other at every turn.  That there are still a lot of people who think that their relationship to their families is still the most important one in their lives, and that if they aren’t successful there, they can’t be successful in other things.  Progressive, Democrat society would like to believe that job titles give people power that personal behavior can’t.  And no matter how we construct our culture to think that flawed people can be CEOs of big companies, the public has other opinions.  And if a man doesn’t dare to stand tall under fire, even when it’s just a camera pointed at him, how can he lead others in anything?  The answer is, he can’t.  Nobody can.  Flawed individuals create flawed companies and societies.  And people do expect leaders to be more than average and to stand tall under fire.  And to do the right things, even when it’s hard.

Beat the Hell Out of Them: Crushing the socialist protestors at the Roebling Bridge in Cincinnati

As I said, the ICE agents who had rocks thrown at them in California, detaining illegal aliens from that pot farm, should have shot them.  They had every right to do so.  So I was thrilled to see that the Covington, Kentucky police physically bloodied a bunch of stringy-haired protestors as they tried to close the Roebling Suspension Bridge over a protest of Ayman Soliman, the former Cincinnati Children’s Hospital chaplain, detained by ICE on July 9th, 2025.  For some ridiculous reason, someone has told these loser socialists that shutting down highways and bridges was a thing they could do to express free speech.  It is not.  And certainly not in my town. I use that bridge all the time, and it should not be closed down by a bunch of protestors cheering on illegal activity.  I have no tolerance for it.  We hire law enforcement to enforce laws.  And when the protestors dug in and started getting pushy, the Covington Police beat the hell out of those protestors and arrested them like the scrappy losers that they are.  It’s one thing to see these things happening in some far away place like California, where their politics has fallen off the edge of the earth with liberalism.  It’s quite another to see something like that happen in the heartland city of Cincinnati, not in my town.  I want to see our highways, bridges, and sidewalks open at all costs, despite the impediments of protestors.  They do not have the right to shut down anything in protest, and it’s about time they are taught a lesson about impeding traffic.  When it comes to using violence to maintain law and order, I’m 100% for it.  As the videos of this violence at the bridge went viral, I was very proud of the Covington, Kentucky, police department. 

The protestors crossed the line when they tried to stop a black SUV driven by an out-of-town tourist, as the insurgents were banging on the hood and vandalizing the vehicle as it attempted to push through the crowd.  Police issued warnings and tried to be as kind as possible, but they ended up arresting 15 of the 100 or so protesters at the site, including two CityBeat journalists, Madeline Fening and Lucas Griffith.  The charges include felony rioting, unlawful assembly, failure to disperse, obstructing a highway, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.  The Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America claimed that the police “violently broke up” the protest, alleging some of the arrestees were beaten and required medical treatment.  An attorney for the miscreants, Benjamin Pugh, argued that the police escalated the situation and did not give sufficient time to disperse.  So that is the cast of characters involved, and I have no sympathy for the CityBeat journalists.  As I have said about them for many decades, they exist to breed these kinds of losers in our youth culture, so they are as guilty of why those protestors thought they could get away with this kind of thing in the first place, as anybody.  There’s plenty of bad to go around, and it’s good that the Covington Police did not allow these individuals to embarrass our city of Greater Cincinnati in front of the nation.  The message we want to send to all these socialist and communist sympathizers is zero tolerance for their view of the world.  That’s where we are these days, as I have been saying for a long time.  These aren’t just Democrats with differing political views.  These are people who want to overthrow our society, which is why they are upset at the ICE deportations, because all those illegal immigrants are part of their strategy to destroy our law and order society.

However, here is a statement for attorneys like Mr. Pugh, who involved himself in this case: the public’s right to free egress exceeds the right of one individual to express their free speech.  People can say and hold whatever opinion they want about anything.  But they don’t have the right to force someone else to have that opinion.  And stopping traffic is an expression of a free speech opinion by force.  The protesters are saying, ‘Join me in my opinion; otherwise, I’m not going to let you use this bridge or travel down this highway.’  Time is an essential thing, and people in a free society cannot have others impose restrictions on their movement to coerce their opinions politically.  The protesters could have written an article, or spoken on YouTube or TikTok about the deportation of the Egyptian Ayman Soliman.  However, they did not have the right to block traffic to get attention or put their hands on the car of someone trying to cross the bridge.  This Marxist notion of damaging private property to communicate political opinions just isn’t going to fly.  We are a private property country.  A mob of losers does not get to override every principle of personal freedom that we have in our society, and one of the fundamental rights that we have is the right to egress.  The right to move around unimpeded and the freedom to enjoy our lives.  That’s why the bridge exists, so that people can travel from one place to another.  That’s why the roads exist.  A protester does not have the right to take that freedom away from people to force their opinions on an issue, due to having no other option but violence to get their point across. 

Once the protestors made a move to close the road, the Convington Police had a right and obligation to remove them and restore that freedom of egress.  There is no group sentiment, such as the Ignite Peace Cincy group, that has the right to close down any roads or even make someone walk around them on a sidewalk.  Any imposition on the personal freedoms of anybody warrants a violent removal of that impediment.  There is no right to Free Speech, which means people who don’t share those opinions have to be inconvenienced by any method.  People ultimately have a choice, and if that choice is removed from them, including the option to listen to socialist protestors or not, or to read that socialist social magazine, CityBeat, or not, the frustrated advocates of a political position don’t get to threaten free people and their private property in any way at all.  Especially trying to stop them from crossing a bridge and vandalizing their property, as if the group mob decided what was valuable socially, or what was acceptable.  And in this case, Ayman Soliman might have been a nice guy who fled persecution in his homeland in 2014 for his work as a freelance journalist covering the Arab Spring.  He was granted asylum in 2018, but that was revoked in June of 2025, leading to his arrest by ICE on July 9th.  He was a Muslim chaplain at Cincinnati Children’s and a board member at the Clifton Mosque, so a lot is happening with him that aligns with the profile of the Democrat Party and the way they want to shape our country politically.  But when people don’t want to hear what they have to say, they don’t get to take away choice from people, so that they do.  Any attempt to do that warrants violence against the protestors attempting it.   And no compassion for individual circumstances justifies anything done at the Roebling bridge, other than the police shutting it down and arresting with violence the perpetrators.  And I would have fully supported much more violence.  Because when I want to use that bridge, which happens often, I don’t want stringy-haired hippie socialists blocking the way.   Get them off the road, by any means necessary.

Banks Trying to Destroy Private Ownership of Businesses: The ruthlessness is in the rules, and is purposefully anti-America

It is a case that could have been taken off the script pages of the Yellowstone television show, but I have had a front row seat to it, and I’m sure there will be years of legal action in the aftermath, because there are so many bad things done by so many bad people that shaking hands and walking in separate ways at the end of it just won’t be possible.  But to answer a question I have had about why there is not enough private ownership of businesses these days, and to understand why so many companies have sought the shelter of being publicly traded, or to hide behind large staffs of a board of directors to shield themselves from the pain of private enterprise, my question has been are the banking practices we see today purposefully predatory, and the confirmation couldn’t be more explicit than with a Wells Fargo case I know about regarding a tech company in Northern Cincinnati.  I have spoken to everyone about this case, and it seems that a large bank like Wells Fargo would not intentionally engage in practices that are meant to essentially harm a business and bleed it dry for their own interests. This appears to break every fiduciary assumption that the finance industry would consider itself bound by.  However, I’ve spoken to people who have served on the Federal Reserve and been CEOs of local community banks, and they weren’t fazed by what they were hearing about big bank practices.  Which alarmed me, because what would normal people do in these kinds of situations, who own companies targeted by hostile banking practices to force them to sell so that they could take over the carcass for a value only they understand.  As I drive around Ohio, and see a lot of businesses that are now empty, how many of them fell that way through mismanagement, and how many were forced into that condition by banking policies that have written into their financial markets an absolute hatred of capitalism and a desire to punish private ownership through lending practices that were inspired by Karl Marx and has the same level of radicalism behind their management practices.

This is a more literal view of how society is actually structured. Rules just hide the bad guys from the world

It’s the same kind of logic that we’re currently experiencing with Trump in the White House, where the Fed has interest rates set between 4.25% and 4.50%.  The cost to the American economy is approximately $600 billion per 1%, so Trump would like to see interest rates lowered into the 2% range to stimulate the economy by over a trillion dollars.  However, the Fed doesn’t care about the people who vote; they represent the interests of their banks. With Trump’s red-hot economy, they want to make money off their investments, so the policy is set for them, not for the good of the country.  They are concerned about their long-term bondholders, the banks in general, and other creditors and lenders.  Nobody is saying they shouldn’t be making money off the services they provide, but in the case of the Fed, they have rates set too high to maintain their control over the market.  In their view, presidents come and go and can kiss babies and pat dogs on the head at holiday parades.  So long as they stay out of their breadbasket and keep financial management separate from political considerations.  And baked into all that is how many of these banks have become overtly corrupt, and even evil.  And feel untouchable to any political scrutiny.  I’ve read about plenty of stories, but with this Northern Cincinnati case, I had not yet seen it firsthand.  And what I have witnessed has been outrageously corrupt. 

Before you can have this, you have to stop the parasitic banking practices that are destroying everything in the background.

In the case of the tech company in Northern Cincinnati, the bank fell sideways with a CFO there and they essentially targeted the privately held company for collapse by withholding funds the company needed to run its business, audaciously insisting on spending huge fees onto a consulting firm that works for the bank to essentially steer the company over a cliff to destruction, not caring at all what might happen to all the customers that company had in the process.  And no amount of logic could be talked into those characters because they had a preconditioned outcome in mind that certainly did not support privately held businesses.  And that was when the policies of the big banks themselves were implemented to make it very difficult to maintain private ownership of anything, regardless of the company’s size.  Smaller community banks are, of course, the way to go if you can get them.  However, they have tight financial markers as well and are very prone to risk, so it’s another situation where monetary policy is one of the most significant barriers to inspiring business growth.  There is a hatred of private ownership that large institutions are keen to destroy for very political reasons.  The Fed person I spoke to thinks it’s just a fair in love and war condition.  However, as I have been involved in the story, it’s a clear case where the menace is written into the policymaking.  And suppose any society wants to have an excellent economy with private ownership taking risks to create jobs. In that case, there must be policies in place to prevent parasitic banking practices, which is the case with this Northern Cincinnati company and a large institutional bank.  They feed off risk takers in ways that punish the practice. 

When I tell the story to people, they assume, just as we do with the Federal Reserve, that the participants understand what they do to people, and that if they did, they would care.  That nobody is that overtly evil.  Yet, as interest rates are set to feed off the masses, a barrage of easy money, essentially, most people working in finance are not the kind who like to work very hard at anything.  So, they are parasitic in their fundamental work ethics and don’t like scrappy, privately held companies, because they don’t treasure such freedoms and feel perfectly justified in abusing their power for personal gain under the guise of following the rules.  The rules they created were designed to make it easy for them to be parasitic lenders.  And if the carcass dies, they sell it off and move to the next target.  And in that way, there is a Marxist fantasy that is unleashed in their hatred of private enterprise, which is ruthless.  And very scheming.  And all too common, which we don’t even know how to talk about, until we experience a case like this for ourselves.  In the case I’m talking about, I don’t think the bank understood the mess it was getting itself into, and many of the bottom feeders involved in these kinds of things, who are professional parasites, clearly underestimated the situation and are going to feel a lot of pain they could have avoided.  But to answer the question as to the ruthlessness of it, it’s evident that its quite common and that most companies undergoing the same level of hostility by a banking partner would never survive and that if we truly want an excellent economy in Ohio, and in the nation, that we are going to have to bust up these financial institutions with their anti-American, and anti-private ownership radicalism.  Most companies lack the kind of tenacity that has been present in this case.  But the question about methods couldn’t be more obvious.  And that there is a financial institution’s aversion to privately held companies is not something they want to protect, just as the Fed is guilty of setting interest rates at the cost to society in general, in defense of their interests.  Their approach is short-sighted and lazy.  And purposefully ruthless to feed the essence of their natures, which is the question before us.  What do we do with such people when we clearly can’t have them pacesetting our economy?  Because, if left to their own devices, they will maliciously destroy everything they touch.

There Will Be No Amnesty Deal: The robot that cleans my pool does a better job than a human

No, we’re not doing amnesty for all the illegal aliens that Joe Biden let into the country, by the millions and millions.  Some say it was more than 10 million, and that the assumption was that they would be allowed into the country and would be gradually given amnesty.  Those policies are over, and they needed to be years ago.  So, for everyone worried that people are going to pull Trump aside and get him to give amnesty to all these illegals, they just aren’t living in the realm of reality.  It’s going to be tough to deport the mess of illegals that Biden and others allowed into the country, but that’s what’s going to happen by millions per year.  The mask of compassion is over, and the plan of globalism working through the Democrat Party in America is finished.  It was never in our best interest, and to hear some of the dumb remarks by Democrats justifying the plight of illegal immigration, I think for me, the pot farm in California was the final straw on the matter.  We don’t want or need the kind of jobs that come from illegal immigration.  They do not make our society better.   And that’s what we’re talking about here: the quality of life decisions in how we manage border policy.  I have to say it because the people in the world who know me best know that I do love labor from other places, I admire the work ethic of people who have strong family relationships and come into the country the correct way, and do great things with the opportunities America provides.  I don’t like lazy people, so I’m not a “they took our jobs” person.  I want to see the best people getting the best jobs, not a job given to someone who is a dope smoking loser over someone who looks at a 16-hour day and wants more.  However, the value of citizenship is what has been targeted here, and we must preserve that value as a fundamental concern.

Again, I don’t wake up in the morning looking for ways to hurt people’s feelings.  I don’t write all these details for my health, I am trying to help people see the world that is coming and to be prepared for it.  And when it comes to this amnesty issue, losing 10 million workers out of the system of our expanding economy won’t be noticed as a labor shortage.  Our economy, with all the jobs that are coming back to America, will grow just fine without low-quality employment built on illegal immigration.  I’ve had a robot for the last couple of years that cleans my pool far better than any human help ever did.  This year, there is no dirt in my pool, unlike in past years, so many of the jobs we previously relied on for illegal immigration, such as pool cleaning, basic construction, car cleaning, and cooking in restaurants, can be replaced with automated assistants.  I heard Karen Bass, the current mayor of Los Angeles, say that because of all the deportations, people were struggling to get their cars cleaned.  What a joke.  Most car washes are now completely automated and don’t require a person to clean the vehicles.  Democrats do not have a labor excuse for filling a needed job with the body of an illegal alien.  Nobody does, including cutting the grass and doing landscaping.  People will always do that work, and they don’t need unlawful immigration to perform the task.  Only companies like that pot farm in California are built on illegal immigration labor, and we don’t want companies like that operating in America.

However, this also ties back to what I have been saying for years about A.I. If you have 5 million available workers, you don’t necessarily want them doing all the traditional work that an expanding economy needs.  Because you’ll run out of capacity quickly.  We are going to have more jobs than people to do them by the millions.  So, ten million or 100 million illegal aliens won’t make much difference in the kind of economy that we are watching emerge under the Trump administration.  That same mentality has to be applied to the federal government.  I told everyone that the Department of Education was going to be shut down.  We don’t need thousands of mindless slugs sitting around all day playing on Facebook, telling us how to educate children into socialism.  Those jobs need to be eliminated, and the workers need to do something more productive.  That same approach needs to be applied to almost everything.  In the end, if you have a workforce of availability in the hundred million range, the actual jobs necessary will be in the half a billion range in truth.  A few million here and there won’t be but a drop in the bucket.  That’s also why I think automated self-driving cars are so helpful, because human beings will still be in high demand for the kind of work that only humans can do well, which is think with imagination in the realm of problem-solving.  And people, real workers, are going to have to work longer hours and make better use of their commutes to keep up.  However, wherever possible, AI and automation will be the key.

We’re talking about intelligence when we discuss a job and what intelligence entails.  Is it some illegal immigrant stuffed into a one-room bedroom with 25 other family and friend members who have some under-the-table job by some low-life employer, to help a Democrat get elected?  Or is it to perform a necessary human task?  The jobs at the Department of Education, for instance, were made-up jobs; they are high-paying jobs that don’t do anything and were created to give power to the administrative state.  Not to accomplish great intellect in children.  To do all the work that America will need to be doing under Trump’s expanding economy, humans will have to spread themselves out as much as possible.  A.I. and machines will have to take over from there.  There is no reason to put up with illegal immigrant labor.  We don’t need underage children to groom pot plants in California.  And we don’t need the noise from that industry running cover for illicit drug and sex operations.  We don’t need that kind of garbage in our society.  Even A.I. is doing a better job in those kinds of relationships, in ways that are far superior to humans.  A.I. girlfriends are emerging rapidly.  I wouldn’t say that’s a good thing, but it’s certainly a human thing.  The A.I. girlfriend doesn’t talk back, she tells you all the good things you want to hear about yourself, and you don’t have the mess of human relationships to get in the way.   Many people would prefer an AI relationship over a human one, any day, because the communication is much less complicated.  So on all fronts, illegal immigration is a thing of the past, and there won’t be any amnesty deal with soft taco Republicans to allow many millions to stay.  We’re going to have tight border security.  We are going to have mass deportations.  And we are going to toss out people who won’t fly the American flag high and proud.  We don’t necessarily want everyone to think alike, but everyone will need to agree to the same set of rules. Those who burn the American flag are essentially saying to the world that they aren’t interested in playing by the rules in America.  So we need to deport them too for un-American activities.  And we don’t need to put up with them, so we can get our cars cleaned or keep our pools maintained.  We have robots for that, and as I said in the case of my pool, the robot does a much better job than a human ever did.  And I’m a big fan.
