I Would Have Shot Them: No protestor has a right to throw rocks, under any conditions

I would have shot them, the protestors who were throwing rocks at the ICE vehicles leaving the illegal immigration raid on the pot farm in California.  Rocks are considered a deadly weapon, and any federal agent who is hit by a rock is no different than having some lunatic lunge at them with a knife, or to fire a shot from a gun.  And throwing rocks into the driver’s side window of a Federal vehicle, shatter-resistant or not, is solid enough ground to use deadly force to stop.  With shatterproof glass, once a window starts to become compromised, and some of those vehicles were, continued impacts in the same area could allow the rocks to get through, and those could have been deadly.  The ICE agents did not have an obligation to flee, which they were trained to do, and that is part of the problem.  We are a stand-and-fight country, especially when it comes to law enforcement.   Those agents were just doing their jobs, and those rock-throwing ICE protestors were crossing the line with encouraged violence.  And part of that encouragement was that they did not think that the ICE agents would fight back, which encouraged the violence in the first place.  The reason many of these protests are so violent and dangerous is that there has grown an expectation that all government employees have been trained to flee rather than fight, and this has caused unwarranted aggression to grow with the expectation that violence would only flow one way.  And it would be far healthier for society to understand that impeding government operations with deadly force opens the door for a deadly response.  And as hard as those protestors were throwing those rocks at those fleeing vehicles, their deadly motivations couldn’t have been presented more obviously. 

I know it’s a pain in the neck to fill out the forms when you do shoot someone, but this California case called for it.  And it would have made future protestors think twice before doing it again.  All they would have had to do upon a rock impact striking the driver’s side window was to get out of the car and open fire into the nearest perpetrator, shooting to kill.  The paperwork processing would have been fine.  I know that the bosses of the ICE agents, trained under years of progressive understanding, have been taught to use non-lethal force and to play patty cake with these kinds of people, and none of them want to kill protestors on their watch.  So they put these ICE agents out knowing that the environment is more dangerous because of their policy decisions, because they encourage violence by not meeting it when it presents itself.  And now an entire generation of protestor types believe they can exert deadly force without having it turn back on them, and nobody takes it seriously any longer.  Nobody should think that throwing a rock at anybody is appropriate under any condition.  And at some point, ICE agents need to fight back.  Rubber bullets and stun guns just aren’t enough to use against stringy-haired socialists and radical left-wing America haters.  Before a protester arrives on the scene to throw a rock, they need to be aware of the potential consequences.  And these kids in California had no such fear, even to the point of running right up to the passenger’s side window of fleeing vehicles and tossing big rocks with all their force into windows they didn’t know were shatter-resistant or not.  At the least, they cause a lot of property damage that taxpayers are on the hook for, and the preservation of their mangy lives wasn’t worth it.  Once they decided to throw a rock, all consideration for their preservation was no longer relevant.

And is this what we’re talking about preserving, as far as the jobs illegal immigration performs, to work as underage pot pickers on a farm that provides marijuana to an already sketchy market?  I love the work ethic of immigrant labor.  I always appreciate hard workers.  But we’re supposed to believe that we have to accept tens of millions of illegal immigrants to cover jobs like this pot farm in California?  These are the kinds of jobs that I find personally useless, and if that’s what it takes to bring down the price of pot in legal states, then let the prices fall off the rocker.  Clean operations that are financially solid wouldn’t need illegal immigration to perform basic tasks.  And now watching some of the ridiculous comments from some of these ICE protestors, such as the current L.A. Mayor, are grotesquely overstated.  Even going so far as to say that we won’t be able to get our cars washed if we deport all these illegals.  If we deported tens of millions of illegals, it’s evident that legitimate businesses would be just fine, and people would not notice.  But what would be impacted are all the illegitimate businesses that are operating under the table, and that sounds like a good thing, not a bad thing.  Eliminating under-the-table labor would force many companies to clean up their current employment practices, which the California facility was found to be guilty of.  And defending that way of life was why rocks were justified in being thrown?  I don’t think so.  This isn’t a free speech issue; it’s an insistence on breaking the law issue, and ultimately comes down to law enforcement and whether everyone respects the basic premise of law and order. 

So I would have shot those protestors on the spot after the first rock had been thrown.  Granted, my profile type would likely keep me from any kind of federal employment.  I am a very aggressive concealed carry individual.  I openly walk around ready for violence all the time, and everyone knows it.  I would prefer not to shoot people, but I am always prepared to do so as soon as danger presents itself.  And my thinking on that is to call a spade what it is, and not to feed the perpetuation of violence with passive presentation of my livelihood.  And if everyone had that attitude, there would be a lot more respect for federal agents than we currently have.  However, the kind of administrative personnel we put in these jobs do not hire people like me; they have made a lot of DEI hires who would prefer not to blame people when bad things happen.  So that’s certainly part of the problem.  But until we do start seeing people shot for perpetuating violence into an otherwise peaceful society, we’ll see increases in violence that we just can’t tolerate, such as in the ICE raid on that California pot farm, a place of business that shouldn’t have been operating on a good day.  To keep a company like that alive is only making society worse upstream by producing the product it does.  So it would have been good for the government ICE agents to stand and fight, rather than flee and retreat as rocks were being thrown at their vehicles.  The moment a rock struck a car, the entire engagement changed, and deadly force should have been used.  We have to stop playing nice with these anti-American forces.  I would even go so far to say that lethal force should be used upon the burning of the American flag because such a jesture isn’t a free speech right, it’s a purposeful display that the laws of America are being cast aside, which makes the people doing so very dangerous, and in need of removal to maintain the peace.  And those are the discussions we need to be having.  And if I were driving those cars, there would have been less rock throwing, because those protestors would have been shot where they stood.  I would have gladly filled out the paperwork and still been home in time for dinner without a second thought.

The Epstein List: People want blood and they won’t rest until they get it

Here are a few of the names that are on the Epstein list, and I doubt most of them were involved in underage sex while traveling to the now-famous pedophilia island.  Jeffery Epstein was being well paid to facilitate relationships within the structure of some social order.  After what we learned about the Diddy trial, pornographic sexual fantasies are common among people, and especially among people who can afford to indulge in the most outrageous of those fantasies.  So I don’t think that Trump’s resistance to releasing the Epstein list is that he’s on it, but because he knows a lot of people who are, and understands that the context of them being on that list doesn’t mean they were engaging in underage sex.  But Trump’s reluctance to open this can of worms has exposed a chink in his armor that now all his enemies will exploit, and he has to understand that this isn’t a topic people are going to put up with in a minimized standard.   People want blood.  They want the heads of the corrupt enemy, the concept of elite social types, and they want them in jail.  People did not vote for the nice guy Trump, who threatened to put Hillary Clinton in jail, then at the last minute, tried to forgive her.  Trump is a very nice guy, much nicer than he lets on.  And this list challenges him on that front, because he likes a lot of people, even if they are wobbly in the bedroom.  Here are just a few of the names:

 • Alan Dershowitz • Leonardo DiCaprio • Al Gore • Richard Branson • Stephen Hawking • Ehud Barak • Marvin Minksy • Kevin Spacey • George Lucas • Jean Luc Brunel • Bill Clinton • Hilary Clinton • Madonna • Joe Biden • Cate Blanchett • Naomi Campbell • Heidi Klum • Sharon Churcher • Bruce Willis • Bianca Jagger • Bill Richardson • Cameron Diaz • Glenn Dubin • Eva Andersson • Noam Chomsky • Tom Pritzker • Chris Tucker • Sarah Ferguson • Robert F Kennedy Jr • James Michael Austrich • Juan and Maria Alessi • Janusz Banasiak • Bella Klein or Klen • Lesley Groff • Victoria Bean • Rebecca Boylan • Dana Burns • Bill Gates • Ron Eppinger • Daniel Estes • Louis Freeh • Frédéric Fekkai • Alexandra Fekkai • Jo Jo Fontanella • Doug Band • Prince Andrew • Eric Gany • Meg Garvin • Sheridan Gibson-Butte • Ross Gow • Fred Graff • Robert Giuffre • Philip Guderyon • Alexandra Hall • Joanna Harrison • Shannon Harrison • Victoria Hazel • Brittany Henderson • Brett Jaffe • Forest Jones • Sarah Kellen • Adriana Ross • Carol Kess • Dr Steven Olson • Stephen Kaufmann • Wendy Leigh • Peter Listerman • Tom Lyons • Nadia Marcinkova • Bob Meister • Jamie Melanson • Donald Morrell • David Mullen • David Norr • Joe Pagano • May Paluga • Stanley Pottinger • Detective Joe Recarey • Chief Michael Reiter • Rinaldo Rizzo • Kimblerley Roberts • Lynn Roberts • Haley Robson • Dave Rodgers • Alfredo Rodriquez • Scott Rothinson • Forest Sawyer • Dough Schoetlle • Cecilia Stein • Marianne Strong • Mark Tafoya • Emmy Taylor • Brent Tindall • KevinIts Thompson • Ed Tuttle • Les Wexner • Abigail Wexner • Cresenda Valdes • Emma Vaghan • Anthony Valladares • Maritza Vazquez • Vicky Ward • Jarred Weisfield • Sharon White • Courtney Wild • Daniel Wilson • Mark Zeff • Kelly Spamm • Alexandra Dixon • Alfredo Rodriguez • Ricardo Legorreta • Sky Roberts

It’s pretty simple, Trump ran on law and order, and they want a Trump DOJ to be ruthless in prosecuting bad guys, and so far, there hasn’t been anybody going to jail for what they did.  This discussion of investigating Jim Comey and John Brennan for their roles in heading up the CIA and FBI, using the power of government to inspire a coup against an elected president, is a good start, but not anywhere near the kind of ruthlessness that people expect.  It’s not enough to have a good life, with a good economy, and to put all this behind us, which is what burned Trump during his first term.  In that final year, the bad guys exploited Trump’s likability, and it’s what led to his removal from office.  Most people in the MAGA movement want revenge for all that, so turning the other cheek isn’t going to do it.  People are going to have to go to jail, and they need to be punished ruthlessly.  And knowing all that, this Epstein list is an easy one.  Trump shouldn’t hold back and expect people to back off; otherwise, he will lose the trust of the people who have backed him most, even if he knows the list by itself doesn’t tell the whole story.

Trump answered the question incorrectly on the Epstein list, which is unusual, as he is usually bullish on the contents; he came off sounding guilty.  It wasn’t the usual Trump bravado, and people picked up on it.  Yes, people are going to continue talking about the Epstein list until people go to jail over it.  If Kash Patel comes out and says there is no conspiracy to the Epstein suicide, it’s not going to help because if people doubt that, they will question the premise on everything else, such as election fraud, the roots of COVID, and even the Steele Dossier.  People know there are problems with the Epstein case and the way that society was organized in elite categories, likely using sex to manipulate the mass population through celebrity status, and they want to see that whole system destroyed, even if Trump wants to negotiate with it to minimize its effects.  Elon Musk hasn’t helped by saying that Trump is on the list, and that’s why the President won’t release it.  I think most celebrities are on the list, which for most of them equates to a free vacation with the who’s who of celebrity society.   And Trump, at that time in his life, certainly would have accepted a free vacation with other celebrities to a remote island full of women, just to be seen with other celebrities.  While that might be embarrassing, being tough on all other issues but this one is even worse, because it exposes a chink in the armor that people will not forgive with inaction.

Sexual impropriety is part of the corruption that runs in the background of our entire society, and people want reform of that system, not a cover-up of its perpetuation.  And until people associated with Jeffrey Epstein are prosecuted and exposed, people aren’t going to let off the gas.  They might like to see James Comey and John Brennan prosecuted for their abuse of power, but people need a lot more than those two to be held accountable.  I don’t think we are talking about French Revolution mob rule here, but we aren’t looking at a civilization that will forgive and forget.  If Trump believes that simply being a good president and providing people with a good life will be enough, he needs to rethink his strategy.  Running cover for the sex rings that have people he likes in them isn’t going to help the cause.  And the story won’t go away.  I think the list begins to tell the story.  But people want to know who’s on it and what they did to be included.  By the time we unpack everything, I think we’ll find that we have a CIA-backed hazing ritual of collecting embarrassing behavior of people in exchange for celebrity status.  Suppose you want to be a celebrity or continue being one. In that case, you have to give up something embarrassing about yourself to members of this group to maintain that status.  One person on that list, George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars and other notable entertainment projects, doesn’t surprise me.  A few years ago, I was working on a series of scripts for movies with a very well-known celebrity who is now one of the main people on Good Morning America.  And while we were working on those projects, she confided in me the sexual lifestyle of the movie mogul, and it made me so sick that I made a clean break from that business, for good.  People and their sexual lifestyles, when they aren’t aligned with the values of the kind of stories they tell, are often very disappointing.  And that is the kind of disappointment that people have with Trump in protecting the type of people who are on that list.  Because Trump likes them, and doesn’t want to see them harmed for some weakness that they have, or had at a particular time in their life.  But people want blood, and until they get it, they will be very skeptical and impossible to please.

Lipstick on a Pig: Is it fair to refer to the Lakota school board as swine?

Since I wrote about the ridiculous levy request from Lakota schools to build a bunch of new schools while tearing down the old ones, to the cost of 500 million dollars, people have been suggesting to me that maybe I was being too hard on the perpetrators, the Lakota school board by referring to them as pigs, that they were no better than swine.  However, I think that is the polite word for them, and the proper way to say it.  People who tend to have moral bankruptcy, as a group, tend to think that cosmetic improvements will hide the horrendous decisions they make in their lives, which often end up costing a lot of money.  This is precisely why Democrats, when elected, tend to run their communities into the ground.  And yes, all these people on the Lakota school board are Democrats.  It will be a lot better for people in the future when school board people have to run through the filter of a political party, so people know who they are voting for.  However, they currently hide behind a façade of neutrality.  Four out of five of the Lakota school board members are very liberal, and they spend money the way that liberals always do.  But that’s not the worst of it.  Now, the fifth school board member, Isaac Adi, I haven’t been too crazy about him, even though he’s considered a Republican.  What he did to Darbi Boddy was unforgivable.   But he and I talked for a long time in Senator Lang’s office, and we can at least work together.  So I’m not surprised that he voted no on this latest Lakota boondoggle.  However, referring to what they want to do as putting lipstick on a pig, because the pig will still be a pig, is the correct way to describe this situation. 

And I wish them luck; I hope they can find voters for their tax increase as effectively as they find their clothes after a night of hard drinking at education conferences.  Everyone knows the stories; there is nothing secret about it.  These aren’t very high-quality people, and that showed itself during the last school superintendent drama, where he got caught offering his wife on Craigslist while they were traveling out of town to music concerts, for group sex parties.  That superintendent had to resign because the community was upset about it, and this school board could only look at those of us who were upset about it and declare that we should have kept it all a secret, so people never found out, for the good of the children, of course.  We went through a lot of drama over that issue because, essentially, the superintendent and his wife talked about sexual fantasies with students who went to Lakota, where he was supposed to be in charge, and that is a major no-no.  And I wouldn’t say that we were getting all this information second-hand through rumors, but from the ex-wife herself.  It was never a question as to whether her husband, the Lakota superintendent, had an overly sexualized lifestyle.  He did.  It was whether or not he was allowed to have such a private life as a public figure.  Like a lot of really radically liberal people, he thought he could be one thing in public and be something completely different in private, but that’s not how things cook in the kitchen.  People in leadership roles are judged based on the entirety of their lives, and even if you are talking about little kids as sexual objects in just “pillow talk,” it still shows intent. 

I did talk to prosecutors about the Lakota case and why there was reluctance to go after him for child endangerment, because the ex-wife was reliable testimony, and there was a police report where he admitted it.  So it was pretty clear-cut.  And the answer I got would melt your face with anger.  Because the truth is, we have a very pornographic society, and this Lakota administrator isn’t the only one doing this kind of stuff.  It’s a common behavior, the overly sexual lives of people who have too much personal income, so that they can indulge in porn addictions.  And Lakota schools, as do most schools with high population densities, have a lot of bored employees who think too much about sex.  And it’s just a dangerous combination to put coming-of-age kids in passive roles with adults thinking way too much about sex.  As it turned out, nobody cared about the former Lakota school superintendent because most people didn’t see that he was doing anything wrong.  Because they were either doing it too, or they were thinking about it. I have never been a big fan of public schools, but after the Lakota school superintendent case and the behavior of this same school board, which tried to cover it all up as best they could, I’m a hard no on anything they propose.  We can’t trust anything they say.  At best, building new schools for these types of people is just putting lipstick on a pig, and in many cases, that pig is already at the slaughterhouse with a severed head, because of the school choice expansion that came out of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.  These same people want to invest this much money in an education system that will have to undergo significant changes in the coming years.

But people will say that all the buildings they want to tear down are old and outdated.  For Lakota to recruit the right kind of future employees, they need better buildings that can accommodate comfortable class sizes.  If Lakota wants to have the best employees, we must provide better buildings for them to work in.  Well, that is the lipstick on the pig talking.  They have no idea what makes education work with kids.  They are teaching kids all the wrong things for a society with changing priorities, and they are way behind the curve, out of touch at best.  On a good day, they are teaching progressive social values, such as transgender bathrooms, and the 1619 Project, which is all over their website.  That isn’t the kind of thing a community that voted for President Trump by overwhelming margins wants its children learning.  The world is changing in ways they don’t like, and now they want to spend half a billion dollars to counteract it.  They are out of their minds.  And at the core of it, knowing many of the school board members personally, I wouldn’t trust a word they said if they were giving me directions to a highway while standing on the on-ramp.  How can we believe them when they say that we need to spend all this money on new schools when they have spent years screwing up the old schools?  I think it is very polite to refer to them as swine, so the lipstick on a pig metaphor is the right one for people of such low quality.  They think that some fresh paint and new plaster will present them in a more favorable light to the public.  But to accomplish that, a billion dollars wouldn’t be enough.  Because a pig is still a pig, no matter how much lipstick you put on it.

What Was The Point of the P Diddy Trial: Hiding a pornographic society in plain sight

The purpose of the P Diddy trial was not to pursue justice; it was to frustrate future prosecutors into case law that would make it so more sex trafficking cases cannot be brought to trial.  The graphic testimony shown all over the world in such bizarre ways was meant to normalize the conduct, not to put Sean Diddy Combs in jail as one of the most popular music moguls in Hollywood.  His lifestyle, as overly sexualized as it was, was complete with excessively pornographic freak-off parties of multiple sex partner actions that were as bad as it could get.  As this trial came to an end with P Diddy being found guilty on the utilization of prostitution charges, and not the more serious charges of sex trafficking under RICO statutes, a lot of people are upset that the Trump administration has not released and thrown in jail the participants of Epstein Island and the client list that we were all told there was, only for Kash Patel to come out and say that there was nothing there.  People are getting tired of not getting justice for these bizarre sex practices that have behind them elements of mass collectivism that leads to political activity centering on socialism and communism, the desecration of individuals and the sacrifice of the human temple to the malevolent joy of a spirit world that wants to deface the human race for its strategic ambitions.  The problem is, these sex freak-offs are not unusual to P Diddy, but most people want to participate in them in some way.  It’s just that Diddy had the means to do it, financially.  And ultimately, the way that Jim Comey’s daughter prosecuted the case kept many of the other people who attended Diddy’s parties a secret.  As the trial unfolded, we were warmed to the idea that Diddy is just one of many, and his lifestyle is just the tip of the iceberg. 

There is no way that the prosecution didn’t know that Cassie Ventura wasn’t a willing participant in the P Diddy freak-offs as his long-time girlfriend.  As a pregnant woman, she might have regretted some of what she did while in her relationship with Diddy, but as the testimony came forward, we are dealing with people with severe sex addictions and pornographic obsessions that are the type of people you see on the red carpet at celebrity events.  There was a voyeurism to the trial that Emily Johnson, Maurene Comey and Christy Slavik, the U.S. Attorneys from the Southern District of New York wanted the public to see not for the reasons of prosecution, but to signal that it is pointless to prosecute cases like this because all the participants were willing, and in this highly pornographic world, the standard of ethical behavior has entirely fallen over the edge.  And we are left with a world that cannot make any moral judgements on the behavior, because they either want to be doing the same thing in their private lives, or they are doing it. I know quite a few prosecutors so I have a pretty good understanding of how they form a case, and from that point of view, these federal prosecutors were not trying to throw Diddy in jail for his destructive pornographic lifestyle, but were trying to show what a waste of money it all was and how pointless.  It’s not that the utilization of sex workers to satisfy pornographic fantasies isn’t against the law, but what does it cost to throw those people in jail, and does any prosecutor out there want a loss on their record?  Because prosecutors prefer not to take cases to court where they might lose.  They want to build their careers with wins, not losses.  And many might say that people like P Diddy should be in jail for what he did and be punished with the death penalty.  In truth, most of the people judging the circumstances want to do the same things in their lives, so prosecutors aren’t going to sign up for a loss that nobody cares about. 

All through the trial, I kept thinking of the Lakota school superintendent a few years ago who got caught trafficking his wife on Craigslist while they were out of town attending music concerts.  I got to know her and her new husband, and she expressed a lot of regret for allowing herself to be in that kind of life.  In the context of a healthy relationship, only then do they see it in the rearview mirror, as with Cassy, who, as a young woman in Hollywood, tried to please her man by doing anything to get the work and attention she craved.  But then you end up with a husband, or serious boyfriend who has a serious porn addiction and wants to live out those events in real life and things fly off the rails quickly, because he had an important job in a large school district that is supposed to be teaching kids how to live good lives.  People were appalled to discover the kind of private life he led as a public figure.  The problem with that case was that too many people were doing the same thing, or they were thinking about doing the same thing, so they lost their moral judgment, and that has always been the intention to make pornography so readily available on the government-provided internet.  There is a whole mass of ritualistic components to it that could fill volumes of books.  However, for this topic, we must study its impact on the human race and how it emerges in mass society, as seen in the Sean Diddy Combs trial.

In the wake of the Diddy trial, for which he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but acquitted on three more serious charges of racketeering and conspiracy, trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion.  There is a greater evil at work here, including the DEI hires as prosecutors, knowing that the Racketeer Influenced and corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) would fall apart once it was realized that many of the participants did so on their own, they volunteered, and that the case would fall apart as it was presented.  If the prosecutors didn’t know that would happen, then the Federal government purposely put female prosecutors in place to fail, allowing for the continued social standards. The entire trial seemed to be hiding something much worse. People have been saying, ‘What about Jay-Z and Tom Hanks’ as there are lots of rumors that surround people doing far worse than what P. Diddy was doing?  And that the federal prosecutors raided him to make an example out of his life, to draw cover fire from much worse cases.  Sometimes, the way to hide something is to put it on full display, so people overload on the information and, in the end, shrug their shoulders and talk about what a waste of money it all was.  Because most of the people watching the trial are thinking about doing the same things that Diddy did, to live out their porn fantasies allowing for the spread and continuation of those lifestyles, instead of the eradication of them.  And ultimately, that appears to be the purpose of the entire case: to deter future prosecutors from making such judgments, so that the spread of evil can continue to erode the human race in ways more destructive than many other crimes.  And to confront that, people have to face themselves in ways they aren’t quite ready.

What Zohran Mamdani Means in New York: Democrats were always open socialists, communists, and Marxists

The victimization role that Zohran Mamdani is trying to utilize against President Trump isn’t going to work.  I know many people are worried about Mamdani and that he is a sign of things to come, and he is.  But not in the way that people fear.  Zohran Kwame Mamdani is an American politician born on October 18, 1991, in Kampala, Uganda. He is a member of the New York State Assembly, representing the 36th district in Queens since 2021. He is a Democratic Socialist and a member of the Democratic Party. Mamdani won the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City in the 2025 primary, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo. If elected, he would be the city’s first Muslim and Indian American mayor.  Trump is right to discuss arresting and deporting communists.  America has gone to war to fight communism, and when political people try to infuse communism into our political structure, they deserve the ridicule that they get.  Trump has no obligation to play nice with socialism and communism.  Mamdani is a Democrat who does not shy away from the socialist label, as most do, because he is making a move that Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez have paved the way for.  I’ve been talking about it for a long time. The communists, Marxists, and socialists in America reside behind the disguise of the Democrat Party, and it is built into their policy-making.  So knowing that, we have no obligation to play nice with them.  Democrats are not equal at the table in a capitalist country if socialism is what they are really about, which it is and always has been.  We cannot discuss with Democrats if that is what they are.  Those ideologies are just too far apart, and Trump is right to indicate playing rough with them.

I’m not surprised that Mamdani won a primary election.  I’m not sure he wins in the general election.  There are a lot of people in New York City who have considered themselves capitalists, but have adopted Democrat ideas to prove to their leftist friends that they are not mean people.  That argument is so “pre-Trump,” and it’s not going to work now for Mamdani.  The politics of meanness is over; it took our country to a place we didn’t want to go, and that fever broke during the summer of 2024 with that assassination attempt against Trump, and he stood up and pumped his fist in the air, declaring we should all fight.  Before that, there were many people, perhaps most people, who loved capitalism, but they adopted elements of socialism to prove to left-leaning political types that they were not what they were being called.  Name-calling was a political tactic employed by the Democrat Party as it evolved into power.  And as long as it worked, they were going to keep doing it.  Mamdoni thinks that he is going to run a victimization campaign and that people will respond to him because they feel sorry for him.  And that’s not how all this is going to emerge.  Socialism is not going to make an open takeover of our political system.  Now that people are forced to see the Democrat Party for what it is, they will reject those political candidates.  And they won’t be able to win just because they are people of color, or that they are Muslim, or that they are nice-looking kids who can make TikTok videos.  Victimization politics have given us many miserable politicians, and we have learned a hard lesson that the Trump administration is giving us relief from.  And now that people know what they are picking, Democrats are going to get much different results than they have had in the past.

It’s not that people accepted Marxists, socialists, and communists.  But people did not like President Obama and his socialist behavior, sold to us by his skin color.  The kind of world that we have did not make people feel good.  That wasn’t a platform for success for Bernie Sanders, Cortez, and Mamdani to utilize in the future.  Instead, the same kind of Marxists are always there, but the Democrats lost their cover story.  So it’s much harder for them now.  Regionally, in places like New York, where high-density populations typically vote for Democrat ideas, these socialist candidates can perform well.  However, in general populations across the rest of the country, they won’t do well at all because people are no longer voting out of guilt.  Trump has shown people that they can vote for their self-interest and get much better results than voting for someone because they are Muslim.  Or a person of color.  Those are trends that are going out with the tide, not coming in.  And everything that Mamdani is saying assumes that the victimization politics is the wave of the future.  And that’s just not the case.  It is not advisable to base your political platform on the ability to win a vote simply because people feel sorry for you.  You want people to vote for you because you make them feel good about themselves.  And that is what Trump has unlocked in politics: the ability to vote for candidates because they want to achieve a better standard of living and solve real problems.  Not because they feel guilty about slavery or economic inequality.  And in the end, in New York, it’s a capitalist town that has had an identity crisis, finding more confidence in itself with Trump in the White House. 

Keep in mind that we have been teaching kids socialism in public schools for more than three decades now, so people have wide-ranging feelings on the topic.  What a teacher’s union-controlled socialist sentiment has taught them does not represent their instincts toward self-interest.  I am often stunned by how uninformed people can be, not because they are unintelligent. Still, when you talk to them, you get to hear such contrasts in their behavior that the totality of their utterances evolves into substandard assumptions. They don’t know what they think about anything, nor do they have the confidence to articulate their thoughts publicly, because they have been taught in school to suppress their opinions.  Not to express them, but to advance socialist enterprises in America.  But for anybody who wants a house, or a car, or a family, socialism is the enemy to those things, and people have a natural revulsion to anything that might prevent happiness along those lines.  So, even if they are taught socialism, their instincts often run counter to it. In America, where people have a perpetual choice, they will not choose the limits of Marxism and its umbrella political ideas, such as socialism and communism.  They have picked Trump once the peer pressure was cast away, and they were alone in the voting booth.  And that is how it will be in New York as well as the rest of the country.  The trend is not moving toward socialism, but rather away from it, as we consider that the schools have failed us.  And we aren’t happy about it.  And Zohran Mamdani might be good at TikTok videos that all but the most naive suckers enjoy. Still, when it comes to economic policy, people have learned many hard lessons from the mistakes of the Obama administration. They don’t want them in the future of politics, so while some might be shocked that a socialist beat a mainstreamer in a primary election, they shouldn’t be, because socialism is where the Democrat Party is.  But it’s not where the rest of the country is.  Republicans are poised to win by even larger margins because people are finally feeling free to express themselves more openly, and that doesn’t do well for politicians like Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani.

Lakota Wants A Half A Billion Dollar Tax Increase: All the schools they want to destroy, and rebuild with wasted money–VOTE HELL NO!

This is what you get when you have liberals on a school board. Lakota Schools has decided to put two levies on the ballot in November, totaling half a billion dollars, which will cost most taxpayers at least $465.5 in property taxes.  They are stating that the combined $4.99 million bond issue will have a $0.95 million permanent improvement tax added to it, which will cost around $93.10 per $100,000 of home evaluation, providing $ 506.40 million to be repaid over 37 years.  And all that sounds wonderful until you realize that we’ve heard this all before, such as when the Liberty Junior building was proposed and built back in 1980, and is scheduled as one of the ten schools they want to demolish with this tax increase.  New school buildings can’t hide the fact that the people teaching in them and running them have no idea what they are doing, and that radical teacher union values are what are being taught to these generations of kids.  And, as with these school levies, which have been a while since we’ve had one at Lakota, I will be voting not just ‘no,’ but a resounding ‘hell no’ on this ridiculous proposal.  What it essentially comes down to is a bunch of liberal women on a school board who believe that new shoes worn to a social occasion can make lipstick on a swine look better.  Hey, nobody is looking at your shoes, if you’ve let yourself go, and all these school board members are just that type, new clothes can’t hide what disasters they are to social considerations.  And I say four ladies because Doug Horton acts like one of them, and given the way these big progressive organizations hire people like him, I would not be surprised to learn that he puts she/her as his listed pronouns.  This Lakota school board is a very progressive group, and they all believe that cosmetics can hide the fundamental flaws of the education system in general.

These are the schools Lakota is planning to tear down

They believe that this is the time to do this; they have wanted to for a long time, and we have held it off in our community by having at least a reasonable stopgap on the school board.  For the last couple of years, we (conservatives) had a three-to-two majority.  But the way that everyone behaved, the radical leftists in the background, there was no way to keep conservative members on the board.  When Darbi Boddy was no longer there, any hope of reform on spending vanished.  The idea that the Republican Party could at least appease the radicals with some playing nice was a fantasy.  Before they ran Darbi off, they ran off other conservatives with just as much viciousness.  I determined several years ago that the Lakota school board was beyond hope, and the best course of action was to let them reveal themselves to the community as they are, which is precisely what they are doing.  Talk about bad judgment, the people suggesting that new school buildings will solve their education problems of teaching students are the same people who are well known to strip on table tops at education conventions and end up passed out without their clothes in the bathroom.  So, when I say that for these very pretentious people, who look like people who have let themselves go, and believe that a new outfit worn to a social occasion will keep people from seeing what they are, that is the logic behind this ridiculous half a billion dollar monstrosity.  If it weren’t so outrageously absurd, we might laugh at it, but they are serious. 

Republicans played nice with these radical people as long as they could, and that has largely kept a tax increase off the ballot since 2012.  Declining enrollment has kept the budget afloat, and the wages reflect it, with a majority of the administrators and many of the Lakota teachers earning well into the six figures these days.  Their operating budget is approximately a quarter of a billion dollars, so these failing schools are a real drain on our community.  They are centers of government progressive imposition that are trending out of our society.  These four school board members have been advocates for same sex bathrooms and Critical Race Theory.  They ran off Darbi, who was doing a good job of pointing out those big problems, and a lot of people didn’t like that she wouldn’t play nice to keep Lakota’s board from going completely liberal, as it is now.  However, in the process, they were dragging our community into the gutter, and we needed to take a stand at some point. This levy is it.  I think it’s a 58% to 42% issue, with the majority aligning with the conservative nature of Butler County.  They believe that enough liberal-minded people have moved in from other areas to shift the vote total to something more even, with 50% for them and 49.9% against tax increases.  I don’t think so; I think they live in a social bubble and believe that Lakota residents are all at Cooper’s Hawk at Liberty Center, sipping wine with their pinkies out.  I think the real voters are actually watching the latest Trump speech and are waiting for Vivek Ramaswamy to be governor and to bring School Choice to Ohio on a mass level.  And to create a merit-based teaching system.  Never forget that School Choice was in the Big Beautiful Bill, as I had told everyone it would be.  Lakota is way behind the times, and it shows with this ridiculous levy initiative. 

I remember when Liberty Junior was proposed as the latest technology-driven school back in 1980, when it was built.  It was one of the first schools in the area to have air conditioning.  While that was 45 years ago, it’s still a nice school and could easily be used in a competitive school environment where Lakota will have to compete with other districts for students to attend, as the dollars will not be allocated to the school, but to the child.  By the time these people build the new schools after tearing down the old ones, education in America is likely to change dramatically under Trump’s administration, and with Vivek Ramaswamy as governor of Ohio.  And regarding Liberty Junior, many people attended that school, but nobody exceptional emerged from all that social investment.  It produced average people who grew up to be average, and I think Butler County wants more than that for the next generation.  That’s why they supported Trump.  And that’s why a lot more people these days are saying what I have been saying about education for decades, that government schools don’t do a very good job.  And we don’t like them leeching off our property taxes to instill social values in our kids that we don’t like.  And the people making these decisions aren’t very good.  They live their personal lives as disasters who try to hide that from the public, like an ugly person wearing new shoes to a party.  You can have a whole closet full of new shoes, and those people will never look as good in them as a runway model.  New schools won’t make the ugliness of a failed union model go away, and the bad people who support that structure, as their social conduct well testifies, can’t hide it from the world with more money wasted.  And yes, the cost to the average homeowner in Liberty Township will be $ 465.50 because most homes are valued at $ 500,000.  A little detail that Michael Clark at the Journal News, Julie Shaffer’s lapdog for many years, ignores when he says that the value of a house is still at the 100K range.  You can’t have a doghouse in Liberty Township or West Chester these days for $100,000.  This is an expensive levy for a failing school system, created by failed people who are trying to hide their horrible lives behind innocent children with new and shiny schools, hoping to tear down the mistakes of the past with bricks and mortar that is a lot easier than replacing the garbage that they are. You can’t put lipstick on a swine and expect it not to be a pig, which is precisely what Lakota schools hopes to do with this massive tax increase, unleashed by their tone-deaf grasp on reality.

And just for an update on what former Lakota School Board member Darbi Boddy is doing these days.  Well, I would say she is doing better work for the future than wasting it on that ridiculous school board that is run by the teachers’ union of Lakota, and all their outrageous costs and social desires.  Darbi has been at Mar-a-Lago spending time, doing important things, that will be revealed in this change state for education.  She is also associating with a very good person, Sam Sarbo in promoting educational freedom and school choice.  I would say that Darbi will play a very important role in the future education of Ohio, in a much more potent role than what she ever could have done on the Lakota school board. And very soon, the Lakota board will wish they hadn’t ran off their cover story and exposed themselves in the way they will experience with this school levy.  We tried to warn them.

The Brilliance of Pete Hegseth: Why the Big Beautiful Bill is so strategically important to bomb resistance to 4-5% GDP growth

While we are going through a process of transition, as we consider the signing of the Big Beautiful Bill and the amount of debt being added to it to fuel extraordinary growth, which on the surface appears irresponsible, but rather, and this is the case with the criticism of Jerome Powell at the Federal Reserve, everyone has to understand the attack on American culture that has taken place to grapple with the need to spend trillions of future dollars to jump-start an economy that has so many parasites in it.  We have to look at what the BBB is poised to do as Trump campaign promises, such as NO TAX ON TIPS, or NO TAX ON OVERTIME, and making the Trump tax cuts permanent, to get the big picture implications.  The philosophy of big spending is similar to how we would approach a military engagement.  Bombs, missiles, and troops cost a lot of money, and whenever you fight a war, on any level, it is usually an inspiration for debt, because very little that is profitable comes out of war.  For instance, the recent bombing of Iran, which most people generally support and attribute to Trump being very successful, and people are very proud of its success, cost around $500 million.  The B2 operations cost alone is $38.85 million, the GBU-57 bombs are $280 million, the Tomahawk missiles are $48 million, and all the supporting assets are $15 million.  That’s a lot of money to spend on one bombing campaign, and a prolonged war can quickly exceed all possible revenue sources and throw everyone into massive debts.  That’s why I said there would be no war with Iran, because Iran simply can’t spend money at that scale to fight a war.  War costs money, and if a country doesn’t have access to cash, it can’t fight a war.  Looked at another way, what’s the value of a gun if you can’t afford the bullets? 

I do, and I get it! Let’s get GDP growth over 3%, 4-5% at least!

And that makes Trump’s appointment of Pete Hegseth from Fox News into the Defense Secretary position that much more appropriate because in the past when we have spent this kind of money on military operations, we always had some stiff who would stand in front of a hostile socialist media and try to explain why what we did was a good thing.  However, Trump understands these situations very well; his knowledge comes from many sleepless nights of worrying about how to make deals and knowing how to get the most bang for his buck, so to speak.  In order to force peace in the Middle East, the threat of nuclear war had to be taken off the table.  Iran had to lose that leverage point in the conversation.  So Israel opened the door to a military attack, targeted at limited casualties and mostly cosmetic, to take that piece of hostility off the world stage.  So Trump sent in the B-2s at the extraordinary cost mentioned, around $500 million.  Anticipating the tremendous success and knowing that Iran can’t outspend anybody in a prolonged war, because they don’t have many missiles left to shoot and nobody in the world can give them new ones at the rate they would require, they had no choice but to play nice and sit at the table and talk about peace with Israel.  But even all that wasn’t enough; Trump had to have someone like Pete Hegseth, who understands how the media works and can talk on their terms, to explain it all to the world appropriately.  Otherwise, all that money spent on success wouldn’t mean anything in the end. 

Pete Hegseth, when he gave his press conference briefing to explain the effectiveness of the B2 raid, which essentially took Iran off the map of world terrorism sponsorship, was brilliant.  If that were all he did from now on, that would have been enough.  Pete Hegseth was fabulous, and I think it will go down in history as one of the most fantastic explanations of military endeavor in the world.  It’s not just the cost involved, but the human ingenuity that usually goes unsaid, for which Pete Hegseth was able to communicate.  To have the ability to take off on a secret mission from Missouri, at the fantastic Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noter, just 70 miles south of Kansas City and to fly non stop to Iran on the other side of the world and drop bombs to such a precision that these guys did, then be headed home before anybody in Iran even knew to look up in the sky, was a remarkable feat.  Astonishing actually.  And the group landed back at Whiteman without a scratch, for which Pete Hegseth was able to provide a correct explanation.  If you’ve ever been to that part of the world, you know just how far away from anything that it is.  To have that kind of reach demonstrates to the world not just the monetary ability to conduct such a raid, which costs roughly $500 million every time, but also to have that kind of reach under stealth capabilities is a terrifying prospect for the rest of the world.  Nobody in the world could have pulled that operation off, and when Trump did it, he took the gas out of the winds of fire from the minds of the world and their hostilities.  So, yes, the money spent was worth it, even if it generated short-term debt, because the prosperity of peace will create many more opportunities for revenue. 

And that same mentality is what is in this Big Beautiful Bill.  I understand it; I love Warren Davidson, he’s my congressman, and I get not trusting anyone from the future to cut spending that’s done today.  It doesn’t make sense under any rules of responsible spending practices.  However, we are discussing military engagement against the hostile economic forces in the world that have been impacting our economy, and the scale of the cost structure is a result of their imposition.  And Trump is looking to dismantle those constraints with growth, in the same way that he is attacking the Federal Reserve for foolishly sitting on interest rate hikes under the guise of prudence and patience, when boldness and spontaneity are needed for the massive growth Trump intends.  The purpose of the Big Beautiful Bill is military; it is meant to cut revenue and reduce spending by exposing all those with their hands in the cookie jar, and to promote manufacturing growth among the people who do the work. The opportunity cost generated will be substantial.  The deficit generated, much like a B2 attack, will be measured in dollars up front.  But the intangibles that have a much higher value will be exploited for great opportunities that wouldn’t be achieved any other way.  The optimism created by the Big Beautiful Bill will far outpace the actual cost in dollars, which is controlled by so many hostile agents in the finance industry, and it will change the scale for how we measure debt.  So, the achievements of the passage and the first year of the Trump presidency in this second term will far outweigh the cost once the threats to our economic security are eliminated through capitalist rules of engagement.  When the other economies of the world collapse, due to their reliance on socialism, communism, and Marxism, the scale shifts for all considerations.  And revenue sources that cannot be considered at this point will become available to backfill any debt produced in the short term.  And, just as putting Pete Hegseth in position well before he was needed, the same kind of experience has gone into the mechanics behind this Big Beautiful Bill.  It’s not about money; it’s a military attack against the Lords of Easy Money and their control of the process of debt spending that is much more of a threat in the world than Iran ever was.  And it’s a way to bomb them where they hide in ways that take them off the map as the parasites that they always were.  And massive prosperity will follow in the wake of their destruction.

Thank Goodness We Have a Good Supreme Court: Protecting value from a lack of value

I told everyone well in advance how this one was going to go down.  And I knew it especially after recently visiting the Supreme Court shortly after Trump re-entered the White House for his second term.  Trump has mighty executive powers that low-level regional judges cannot stop.  It was a ridiculous suggestion by the legal community even to entertain such a notion.  However, on June 27, 2025, the Supreme Court voted in a 6-3 decision that federal district court judges could not issue nationwide injunctions against the Executive Branch.  Judicial activism by left-wing judges was not equal to that of the elected President of the United States, as they had attempted to establish.  Good on Amy Coney Barrett for writing a majority opinion that argued against the statutory authority of federal courts.  This means that the ruling allows Trump’s executive orders to take effect immediately, forcing opponents to pursue narrower legal challenges, such as in the case of birthright citizenship.  With this ruling, judicial overreach will be reduced, executive orders will be implemented more efficiently, case-by-case challenges will be utilized, not allowing a single injunction from a judge to halt an executive order, statutory limits will be clarified, and a cap will be placed on the politicization of the process.  When a president is elected correctly to do the work of the people who voted for them, radical judges can’t be allowed to slow walk the executive order process to frustrate the results during a short four-year term, which has been the strategy of leftists trying to exploit the system for years.  For a long time, district judges held the illusion that they had more constitutional authority than they actually had, and the Bar Association reinforced that illusion destructively.  Until Trump’s first and second terms, these ideas weren’t tested because most presidents didn’t drift too far outside of their consultant circles.  However, with this ruling, things have changed significantly for the better.

This will allow Trump to resume the needed deportations of around 1 million illegals per year, and the targeted number of 10-15 million over his current term.  The illegal immigration push by the Open Border people, around the world who are wrapped up in all kinds of Marxist schemes fully intended a flood of illegals to permanently change the nature of what America is by overwhelming the system with a Cloward and Piven strategy.  And by keeping them in that illegal status, they could harvest them for illicit votes, and act as a menace to the communities they live in, bringing with them a desperate lawlessness that degrades wherever they settle.  Of course, the proper way to enter the country and benefit from its values is to become a citizen and undergo the process of doing so.  The flood of immigration that we experienced under the Biden years was nothing short of an invasion meant to topple the election system before the next cycle, where people would find out what exactly happened in the 2020 election.  There weren’t enough people in the country at the time to vote for all those Democrats.  And by 2024, they hoped another 10 million illegals might give them a cover story and keep Republicans from taking power back.  But it didn’t work, and when Trump was elected anyway, these activist judges tried to stop the deportation in hopes that they could keep those illegal numbers up until the next election cycle.   But those hopes were destroyed by this Supreme Court ruling.  Borders have to have value, and people need to respect them because an open-border world allows low-value individuals to mix with high-value individuals to the detriment of everyone.  Mexico’s anger at the Trump administration tells the whole story of how they purposely intended to export their broken people into America to rot it from the inside out.

And that is the purpose of a border, a country is just a set of ideas.  When good ideas are protected from bad ideas, with border security, then the preservation of value can occur.  And that is what was under attack, and unfortunately, many of the Bar Association types working in America sought to advance this desecration for their profit.  Mexico has some fascinating history, but it’s a perilous country.  Try driving to Mexico City from the American border in an American car and not get pulled over for a shake down.  And that is the best of it, the cartels openly harass anybody whenever they want.  The cartels run the Mexican government, and they had in mind to do the same thing in America.  Of course, there are many people who want to escape those conditions, and we feel sorry for them.  But when their mess is allowed to make a mess of America, then everyone suffers from the lowered standards, and we can’t allow that to happen.  So to protect our American values, we have to deport people who come into the country illegally, until they swear an oath to live by and defend the values of America.  That process is essential and is commonly understood around the world.  The preservation of successful cultures is an inspiration that the world needs to strive for a better future.  The leftist position politically is to avoid judgments and to mix all values so they can rule over the mess they made.  And that has been at the heart of all the legal challenges to Trump’s executive orders during this second term. 

I’ll repeat it, I love the Supreme Court.  When people ask me about the tie clip I always wear these days, I got it from the Supreme Court.  I love that in American society, on Capitol Hill, we have one of the most intellectual commitments to law and order in the world, with the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, and the Capitol Building all situated in the same square mile of influence in Washington, D.C.  The rulings don’t always go the way we want them to, but the process, I think, is one of the most wonderful things in the world.  I was able to spend time in the chamber and see the world through the eyes of the Supreme Court members, and I think it is an excellent example for the world to follow.  If you want to be a better country, learn from the United States how to do it.  And instead of trying to flood America with illegal immigration, learn to make whatever country of origin people are fleeing from more like America.  And people would be much happier in the world.  By enforcing a border of values, it prompts other countries to reflect on why they are so terrible that people are always wanting to leave.  You don’t see that same problem in America, where people are flooding our borders to get out.  Everyone in the world is trying to get in, and that is for a good reason.  So, no more. The Supreme Court did what it was supposed to do: protect value through law and order.  The opponents want to destroy America with chaos and lawlessness.  And because that temptation is always in the human mind, we need a good Supreme Court.  And thank goodness we have one.

The Killer Vance Boelter: They are a lot more common than people would like to believe

I know the type, the kind of killer that Vance Luther Boelter turned out to be.  Notice how that story dropped out of the news so quickly.  That is the preacher turned assassin in Minnesota who went to the home of state representative Melissa Hortman and killed her and her husband, and also went to the home of state senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.  No relation to me, and fortunately, they survived the assassination attempt.  Boelter had a long list of people, all Democrats, whom he intended to kill, and fortunately, many of them were not home or easy to find.  So the damage was limited to these mentioned; it could have been a lot worse.  But the question that emerged out of all this was that Vance Boelter had been hired to kill U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar by Governor Tim Waltz, and that the former vice-presidential candidate had a relationship with this killer, and that there might be some merit to all these loose facts.  So here’s what I think, based on a lot of experience in this matter.  I know quite a bit about killers and politics, and when I was younger, I learned about many people who were professional assassins.   In fact, and this case reminds me of how the system works behind the veil, when I was young I had a get out of free card from a very popular judge in Hamilton County that when I showed it, no prosecutor in Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana would touch the case, even if it involved very violent occurrences.  And it worked too, in many cases that I would have expected it not to.  It was disappointing to me to learn all these things at a young age, but that information has served me well over the years, and regarding this case, I feel very confident to say that I think Vance Boelter fell off the wagon over the abortion issue and his close relationships with politicians as an advisor to the Workforce Development Board in 2019 by Tim Waltz made him feel he could get away with killing off of abortion activists in what he would consider going to war with evil, as a man of God. 

Most of the people I knew as professional killers were almost the same type of personality as Vance Boelter, people who had fallen off the rocker at some point in their life, and never made it back.  They weren’t always politically motivated to do hits on members of a political party as much as they wanted to be hired to be in control of situations they felt out of control to deal with.  And once they killed one person and got away with it, they felt invincible to do it again and again.  And the problem is, once you are close to people in politics, you think you can get away with literal murder; there isn’t anything to stop these people from doing their fantasy of process elimination, and soon enough, they offer themselves as a gun for hire. They perform assassinations in the same way that someone might hire a private contractor to build a new driveway.  And there are plenty of political people out there who are more than willing to kill off their opponents for an elected office, so that keeps people like Vance Boelter very busy.  However, in this case, I don’t think Tim Waltz was smart enough to hire Boelter to eliminate political rivals so he could secure a Senate seat. Instead, I believe Boelter hates Democrats and used his inside knowledge, gained through access to political figures, to try to set up Tim Waltz with an accusation, hoping to cause the current governor trouble. 

Boelter was a person who held a variety of jobs, most of which were low-level, a common occurrence among individuals who turn to assassinations for extra income.  It should be noted that Hillary Clinton has been associated with the death of many people, too many to be accidental, so these types of associations are much more common than people would like to admit to.  And most of them never make it to the news cycle, because there are a lot of cards out there that these people carry around with them that keep them out of jail, especially when they are political hits by those who are protecting a public office from rivals, or leakers.  We want to think of killers in this fashion as sophisticated, much like the characters we see in movies.  But most of the time, they are aimless slobs who bounce through life like pinballs in an erratic machine.  Boelter was, for a time, a manager at a Speedway gas station in Shakopee, Minnesota, and held roles in several major food companies, including Nestle, Del Monte, and 7-Eleven, focusing on operations and quality control.  He tried for a long time to start up a security firm that he had co-founded with his wife, Jenny, who was listed as the president and CEO.  He had fantastic ideas about being a kind of military type, as he had security experience in conflict zones, including Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and North America, having trained with private firms and U.S. military personnel.  At the time of these shootings, Boelter was working in the funeral industry, splitting time between the Wulff Funeral Home and Metro First.

Looking at the work history of this guy, once you get a little military training, work with dead bodies and become desensitized to their essence, and get up close to the political class in all these various ways and realize just how thin of a reality most people live in, and how willing they are to turn the other way to maintain whatever illusions about life that they have, people like Vance Boelter lose touch with reality and can become very dangerous.  At the time of these killings, Boelter was living in an apartment away from his family, his wife of 16 years, and his four daughters and one son.  So whether or not Tim Walz was willing to pay a guy like this to create an open senate seat, Boelter was off the rails enough to do it for political reasons himself, or to get a boost in income since his life was such an unplanned mess, that not having stable employment over a long period was detrimental to him.  And that is the common trait for most personal assassins.  They are not well put-together people.  They are typically broken, desperate individuals who have lost their sense of purpose in life and have become desensitized to the rights of others to live a good life.  Because they don’t and can’t, they aren’t capable of living a good, everyday life.  Once they get a glimpse of the inside story, whether it’s in funeral homes, politics, or security details around the world, and you get that mall cop sense of power over others, things quickly spiral out of control.  So I would say this is a warning; there are a lot of these people out there.  There isn’t much desire in prosecution offices to put people like this in jail, because they are so unstable in life, yet at the same time, they are helpful to somebody important, so nobody ever tries to touch them.  That’s why it’s a good thing not to cross that line.  If you want to get rid of somebody politically, run an honest campaign and let voters choose for themselves.  Don’t try to eliminate political rivals with violence and force.  That is not the way to have a stable society.  Honest elections are.

Being Optimistic: How things work in the fifth dimension

I don’t think I need to explain it, but it has come up frequently lately.  I have been in several situations recently that are pretty diabolical and soul-crushing, but those around me have considered my attitude toward these situations to be overly optimistic.  Even to the point of being disingenuous, and not in step with reality.  And on a tough meeting full of really hostile people recently, once the room cleared and this person was alone with me, they said to me, “You could talk the pants off a nun.”  I wasn’t sure of the context of that comment, but as I looked at the person, I said, “I doubt many people would want to see a nun without pants.”  And I left it at that.  However, this person did raise an important point, and something I should probably share that is a core part of my personality.  Optimism is a skill, not an illusion, and most people in the world are where they are in life, no matter how bad it is, by their own choices.  The truth about reality is that you get out of it precisely what you are thinking about.  And this is more than just a statement meant to inspire wisdom.  It’s metaphysically true regarding the rules of quantum mechanics, which I have been talking a lot about lately, for good reason. People do, quite literally, choose their reality more than they realize.  And when people want to do bad things to you, the most effective way of doing it is to convince you to choose bad things to happen to you, rather than for people to have things happen to them, as we have all been conditioned to think.  And this is the structure of the fifth dimension. 

We tend to think of only four dimensions —length, width, height, and time —as the reality we all live in.  However, they are now relatively well known regarding string theory at 11 dimensions.  Mathematically, there are infinite opportunities, or otherwise 100, for which we have visibility and approximately 22 conceptually.  However, for this discussion, when we refer to the 5th dimension, we are referring to what we call the spirit world, where we can sometimes have interactions with what we perceive as ghosts and other paranormal phenomena.  I am continually amazed, for instance, by how a cell phone works, or the auto key opener on my car, which allows me to lock my doors even when I don’t have a line of sight to it, thanks to a signal that passes through metal and concrete barriers.  That is because the waves of information are so small that they can pass through the physical structure of what we think of as solid objects.  Many of the other dimensions we are discussing are either extremely small or magnificently large.  So large that we live in a universe, which we think of as infinitely big, that is likely composed of many universes, all coexisting in infinite possibilities.  This is something that the popular cartoon show Rick and Morty has a lot of fun with as an abstract concept, offering numerous opportunities for humor associated with it.  We tend to think of reality as a solid state, when in fact it is just one reality among all possible realities that are happening all at the same time.  And that one of the extraordinary things that occurs in quantum physics is that particles change their behavior depending on who or what observes them.  That indicates that the power of choice and observation has compelling implications on the nature of reality. 

The reality we choose ultimately is the one that we observe, and we eventually make the choice based on our true nature.  We may tell ourselves that we want a healthy relationship with our spouse, for instance, but we often choose in our lives all the wrong elements to make that happen.  We might say the same thing about a job, or any potential for success, even our health.  We are constantly bombarded by various forces that try to influence our choices in life, many of which share a reality with us and may encourage us to buy a new car or take out another credit card.  One of the most challenging jobs I’ve ever had was a sales job where I had to make cold calls at dinnertime and convince people to sign up for a new credit card, when I was the last person they wanted to talk to.  I had to persuade them to do things they wouldn’t have chosen to do on their own.  It’s hard to get people to decide to spend time with you or listen to what you want to do, and to convince them to change their course and do what you think is right.  But that is the basic ingredient in every sales interaction.  And when you get good at it, whether it’s in politics or basket weaving, you get good at getting other people around you to choose through observation the same reality you have in mind.  In this way, mass choice can create a dimensional reality that everyone can share, allowing for a collective experience that people generally agree is reality. 

By being very optimistic about any situation, it’s not an illusion of self-denial about the current condition, but rather establishing in myself the best possible outcome and keeping my mind prepared for that eventuality.  Now when you are dealing with people who choose to have a bad life and are purposely using bad choices to hide conditional realities from even themselves, they might blame external forces for their problems, but the truth of the matter is that they choose the bad things that happen to them, by the laws of the universe and the many others interacting with it, purposely.  We don’t just live as four-dimensional beings, but the thing we call “us” exists in many dimensions, all at the same time.  The physical reality we call our bodies is just a receiver of this ultimate reality for which we mostly are, and of which we call eternal, because it exists beyond the dimension of time.  We are always our present, past, and future, all at the same time, and we make choices in life based on this eternal concept.  So, when people wonder why I am so optimistic all the time, it’s because I choose to be.  Because reality is more than what we can see, it’s what we choose. To choose good things, we must have them right in our minds before an observable action can be taken.  And that is the nature of life in the fifth dimension.  There are infinite choices that can be made that reside there, which directly influence the reality we live in, for which eternity is always present.  And we get the reality we choose.  A story I often tell is the one about how I met my wife.  She was on a date with another guy, and I had to have her.  Why did I have to have her?  Well, I recognized in her an eternal aspect that resided beyond our four-dimensional lives.  So I walked up to her in his car and told her she was going to be my wife.  I chose her as my wife, and I picked the reality where she wanted the same thing, and we ended up being married for over 37 years now.  In the multiverse, undoubtedly, such an engagement would have led to a fight, rejection, and an embarrassing set of circumstances in every conceivable way.  But I chose the reality where it worked out and we have kids and grandchildren and a whole exciting life of wild and perplexing circumstances.  So, when the world is on fire and I remain light-hearted about it and optimistic at every juncture, it’s because I choose to be that way, for the logical reason of choosing success, the way I truly want it in my life, and those who share that life with me.
