Defeating China and the Linkedln Losers: The gunfighter at the bar with their back to the room

Let me say it again about China; I’ve been saying it for a long time.  That’s why my LinkedIn account has been suspended, and I don’t use it.  I don’t like LinkedIn, Facebook, and a lot of social media sites because of their globalist intentions and dedication to the construction of China, which was to make them into a superpower and compete with the United States on the world stage.  China is a dump.  I don’t like the communist country, and I don’t like getting things from them.  By default, many of the products we used to make in America were, by policy, pushed over into China for many reasons, most of them not good.  And I have never thought of it as a good idea.  So when I wrote my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business and I did press for it, I was very critical of China because some of the people most attracted to my book were people who also supported the decoupling movement from China, as we had grown too dependent on a sworn enemy, and that needed to change.  The Chinese are propped up enemies, which could be said to be most of our enemies over modern history, including Hitler.  They are made villains, not the type of people who, through cunning and diligence, leaped onto the world stage and suddenly became relevant.  No, they were made, China was made, by wealth redistribution to be villains who would drive the back door effort at a one-world order run by the United Nations with socialist governments.  So I explained in my press how to defeat China in a decoupling effort, one that appeared on the LinkedIn platform, which is grotesquely pro-China, and they were so upset about it that they banned me from the platform.  Up to that point, I had reluctantly maintained a LinkedIn page. I get a lot of offers to do a lot of consulting work, and I do what I do.  But LinkedIn to me has always been a den of thieves and con artists who prop themselves up to be fluffier than they really are, and I don’t find those types of people who use the service very valuable in real life.  They are usually propped-up caricatures, just like China ironically. 

After interviewing with a decoupling PAC out of Los Angeles, who were very interested in my book and plastered it all over their social media, the LinkedIn people banned my page and demanded that I apologize for what I said about how America could trounce China in a new war.  I said the next war in the world would not involve tanks or troops but control over finance.  And Larry Fink and the gang of thugs at BlackRock were funneling looted Wall Street money from a Modern Monetary theory Federal Reserve straight into China to make them look better on paper than they actually were, and that they were highly vulnerable.  About that same time, I gave a speech to a bunch of Tea Party types of early MAGA supporters about the Gunfighter at the Bar theory, which is pretty much my summation of all business transactions.  When you have the leverage of something someone wants, you don’t have to be an appeaser.  And that stupid professional site of LinkedIn is designed for the appeasers in life, not the gunfighters at the bar.  And I further said that anybody who exploited that trait would have leverage over their enemy no matter how big they were.  China is a paper tiger propped up by the LinkedIn losers, and we don’t need either of them. 

I control the social media I use, which is how I am with everything.  I like to be in charge.  I don’t like hand-holding consensus building, and that’s all that LinkedIn is good for.  When you are the boss, you don’t need to network.  When you have something people want, your phone never stops ringing, and my phone never stops ringing, all hours of the day, all days of the week.  I have to be a little mean to people to get some time to myself, so I don’t miss the LinkedIn Losers and won’t ever ask them to restore my platform to me.  I said what I said about China and I meant it.   And now Trump is doing exactly what needs to be done to end China as a superpower and threat to the American economy.  And I’m enjoying the spectacle quite a bit.  Ironically, I didn’t write The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business for all the boot lickers of the world.  I wrote it for the gunfighters at the bar with their back to the room, because they can afford to do so.  It’s geared to a smaller audience, but it’s meant for the right people, and the fundamental business rules I learned the hard way.  It is not the kind of fake accolades from resume padding that are typical on LinkedIn.  Then once you hire those people, you find out they can only do a fraction of what they promised and are only one or two trick ponies when you need out of them 20 to 30, just like China.  So, to all those people worried about China cutting off deliveries of Boeing airplanes or cell phones and electronic equipment and upset at Trump’s tariffs, don’t worry.  Don’t be a boot licker.  China can’t win this war, and they know it, which is why they are crying so loudly now. 

Never forget what China did to us with Covid.  They released a bioweapon from a lab in Wuhan, and they killed people with it to destroy the American economy and help the World Economic Forum establish their Great Socialist Reset by shutting down the global economy with stupid work-from-home policies, while China kept chugging along uninterrupted.  They have over a billion people, so losing a few here and there wasn’t a big deal to them.  They are a communist country; they could afford the casualties that they created in the first place.  They were intent on ruining Trump during an election year, and they played their part in that rigged election that put Joe Biden into office.  China had their direct guy in our Executive Branch to directly control American policy, all of which were hostile acts of war.  And that’s precisely how China sees it, just read the book from China called Unrestricted Warfare.  That’s how they approach everything.  They declared war on us, not the other way around.  Trump is just playing the game to beat them in a way that they can’t defend themselves.  Without globalism propping up the Chinese, they are just a backwater country of massively starving people and a communist philosophy that they adopted from Europe in Karl Marx.  And they need to be exploited as the frauds that they always were, just like 99.999999999999999999999% of the LinkedIn losers who use that stupid platform to sell themselves to other losers to fluff themselves up to look smarter than they really are.  I won’t be restoring my LinkedIn account, and I very much support what Trump is doing with the tariffs against China.  They are not our friends.  We don’t need them.  And it’s time that we remove them as the hostile friends ready to stab us in the back at every moment.  And in this action, China can’t win.  And LinkedIn has been hostile to pro-American policy and is garbage now and forever in my opinion.  And I will never forgive them for what they tried to do to our country, Reid Hoffman and the rest.  Bad people deserve to be punished in the most severe way possible.  That’s why I’m not on LinkedIn to answer the questions of those who keep asking.  And that’s why what is happening to China is a great thing!  I do like Chinese food.  But I don’t like the communist country of China as a globalist superpower or any supporters of that movement.

The Roger Reynolds Story: Politcal Revenge is a target rich environment

I supported Roger Reynolds, the old Butler County Auditor, when it wasn’t cool to do so.  And I must remind everyone that the story initially broke when Fox 19 in Cincinnati, Ohio, was looking to do a hit piece against the Republican Party of Butler County that started the whole mess.  So don’t be so surprised that they carried Roger’s story about a bloody dispute with the very popular Sheriff Jones and State Attorney General David Yost.  I get where Roger is; he wants to clear his name of any wrongdoing.  He wants to be back in politics.  I get the hurt feelings.  Many people did terrible things to each other, and the abuse of power that was on display is embarrassing and gives politics a bad name.  When David Yost, with the help of Sheriff Jones, tried to put Roger in jail for an improper interest in a public contract, we all knew that there was a lot more going on, and Roger found himself outside of a political party looking to cut him out of it.  And I was there for Roger in the worst of that.  But he wants revenge; they almost put him in jail and cost him a fortune to defend himself in court.  But changing people for who they are just isn’t going to happen.  If you want to be in politics, then you have to beat your enemies in politics, and don’t turn toward the courts, which those in power control, to do your business.  Get back on the horse, ride it, and play politics the way the game is played. 

But as far as I’m concerned, this story ended when Roger was cleared of wrongdoing in the courts.  No political apparatus should be able to destroy other people with the court system, but we’ve seen several instances of that happening in Butler County over the last couple of years, and it wasn’t good on any measure.  But crying about its unfairness and hoping that public sentiment will restore your good fortune is not the way to solve these problems.  And spitting in the face of people who were most supportive of you along the way is a good way to make political enemies.  And by how things work, Roger Reynolds has made himself a political enemy to my way of thinking because of his actions in the wake of this mess, so he’s not doing himself any favors.  Regarding Butler County politics, from my perspective, if you get sideways with Nancy Nix, the new auditor, then I won’t have a lot of sympathy for you.  Nancy, I think, is what all politicians should aspire to be.  She’s a sincerely good person in a very cutthroat profession, and she manages to still be very good at her job.  And she is doing a great job in Butler County as she moved to fill in that auditor seat that Roger had to vacate due to the criminal prosecutions he had to endure.  Roger went immediately to try to get his old job back, which would have been damaging to Nancy Nix personally and the team she has built at the auditor’s office, to make Roger happy, and that’s not a good way to go about things.  And in the upcoming elections, Roger wants to either run against Nancy for his old job back, which puts him against the person who went to court for him in a supporting role and helped him get back on his feet during all this, and was a very loyal friend until he turned on her after these court proceedings.  Or he wants to run for Butler County Commissioner, which will put him against Michael Ryan, the person I have already endorsed, so that will make it so I have to campaign against Roger, which won’t be a good thing for anybody. 

But don’t think that the media of Fox 19 and Channel 5 with Karen Johnson are suddenly pro Roger Reynolds.  I was surprised they picked up his story where he did his article on what had happened to him.  I had done it before for him over the past couple of years and talked about who did what to whom.  But this was the mainstream media getting Roger’s story out from his own lips, which they caused to happen in the first place.  So they aren’t suddenly anybody’s friends.  They are the same malcontents that they always were.  But they see blood in the water of Butler County politics, and if they can use Roger to harm Sheriff Jones, or David Yost, they will undoubtedly do it, and they did during the first week of April of 2025.  I read Roger’s story about the political hit job against him, where he named names and got specific.  But to what end?  Sheriff Jones is getting up there in age and has been vulnerable, especially in this last election season, where he didn’t get a warm endorsement from the Central Committee, because of stories like this one.  He’s good with the immigration issue now that Trump is back in office, and I agree with him on many things.  But politically, if Roger wanted to be a tough guy, he’d go right for the horse and not turn on his once very good friend, Nancy Nix, for his political comeback. 

Then there is Attorney General David Yost.  He wants to run for Governor against Vivek Ramaswamy, the Trump-endorsed candidate.  Yost is very vulnerable to having his entire political career destroyed, especially after what he did to Roger.  If I wanted revenge by the game of politics, you attack where people most want to be, and that is where he should focus.  They are trying to get Roger back in the ring as opposition who wish to divide up whatever party unity has been built now that Trump has been re-elected.  He is only hurting himself by splitting the party into either supporting him over Nancy Nix, or attacking a good commissioner candidate, which would drain away votes for both of them, opening the door for a third-party Christian conservative to win with their typical 35 to 40%.  Meanwhile, these liberal media hacks, like Karen Johnson and Fox 19 in general, get what they want: a damaged Republican Party.  So that’s why I didn’t pick up the phone immediately when Roger called with his story.  I wasn’t ignoring him.  I like him still.  I’ve even met with him a few times to see if there was a way I could help him out.  But once he got sideways with Nancy Nix, that’s the line for me.  And that’s a shame, because if he wants to get tough in politics, we are dealing with a target-rich environment.  And if you wish to take revenge, there are many political ways to get it.  But we all know how politics works, you have to build teams.  You don’t destroy them.  And the media coverage of his story wasn’t for his benefit.  It was to harm the Republican Party using him as the vehicle to do it.  And if you don’t love the Party for what it can do for people, then why do anything?  And why destroy friendships that were very real?  Nancy Nix could only harm herself by going to court to support Roger during all this.  But she did it because she’s the real deal and didn’t want to see something terrible happen to her friend.  And that friend turned against her because he didn’t want to go after the bigger fish that brought him harm in the first place, which does not come out well in a primary consideration, that could become bloody for no good reason.  In these kinds of things, you have to fight the right fight, not the one that you think is easiest, and turning on friends isn’t very enduring.

Its Great that the Sundance Film Festival Rejected Cincinnati: You don’t want people like that to think you are cool

I suppose I have done just about everything there is to do in life.  Along the way, I didn’t think about it; I just said yes to many adventures and jumped into many of them without ever worrying about how I’d get out.  And this came to my mind as I learned that the Sundance Film Festival had passed on Cincinnati as a host city, leaking to the media that the Midwest city didn’t have the right vibe, it wasn’t cool enough. Instead, they are seeking a mountain town in Colorado or Utah as a much more hip destination.  Well, there is a lot more to that story and I have some unique understanding of the contents leaving to reflect a bit on all these many experiences, which I don’t spend much time thinking about, but when I do slow down long enough to do so, it would be easy to wonder how I made it through life at all.  But this Sundance story has some meat to it that the media didn’t cover, other than reporting that the Sundance people didn’t like what Cincinnati had to offer.  Now I have experience with film festivals, as I have talked about my desire as a young person to be a film director and a writer of movies.  I have been to film festivals and received awards, and that was where my life was headed for a long time, until the Tea Party movement started in 2009.  My wife and I were in Cancun having a nice vacation and I decided to make a very controversial change in my life for the good of the country, and that I’d put my efforts in that direction because as we talked about at a nice dinner on the beach there, what good was telling stories in movies when heroics in real life were needed much more.  So I made a career change, and the rest is history. 

But when I was 19 and wanted to learn to direct people in front of the camera, I was a fashion model, as was my wife.  She was being groomed to be a New York model and hated all that came with it.  It was not a life for her; she was beautiful, everyone wanted to hire her, but she only wanted to find a nice man, settle down, and start raising kids.  On the other hand, I wanted to work in Hollywood, make movies, and I liked the modeling world because it was so interesting.  And I learned many valuable things during these years, but mainly I wanted to know how things were supposed to look in front of the camera so I could direct from behind it.  A lot of people thought I was a very attractive young man, and they wanted to hire me for all kinds of entertainment projects. So my wife and I did little projects for a while, with me wanting to go one way, and her wanting to get out of it.  But as a couple, we were invited to all kinds of things that taught me how the entertainment lefties think about things, so I learned firsthand what they were like.  And it wasn’t good.  When we would go to photo shoots around Cincinnati to do clothing advertisements for various department stores, the photographers would always poo poo Cincinnati for being such a conservative city.  If we were modeling jeans, for instance, they would want the models to unbutton the top of their jeans to evoke a provocative sexual tension.  But would be upset that the zipper couldn’t be lowered, otherwise the Cincinnati market would reject the photographs.  And they’d go on and on about how great the New York and Los Angeles markets were, and of Paris because you could get the models naked and the photos would get awards for the nudity, but not in Cincinnati. 

Because we were being groomed, my wife and I were invited by the director of the new play Equus to attend the premiere in Cincinnati, which was quite a scandal at the time.  It was a play at the Taft Theater that had full nudity and sex on stage and was an outright assault on the sensibilities of Cincinnati morality.  I knew this director well; she loved nudity.  I never saw her at her home where she wasn’t naked.  She only put on clothes when she had to go somewhere, and she was planning to use this play and assault on Cincinnati to launch her career in the more significant coastal and progressive markets.  Now when I say that she was always naked, that does not mean she was attractive.  Most people do not look good naked.  And she was one of them.  She would have looked better with clothes to hide her imperfections, to put it nicely.  I thought it was all bizarre, but we were young and beautiful, my wife and I, and all these people wanted a piece of us.  So we were given access to this play.  So we went and were stunned by what we saw.  Right in front of our faces was full nudity and sex on stage, and my wife wasn’t happy about it.  She didn’t like any of those people, and it became very clear to me that I couldn’t work in that business and be married to my wife.  Because the entertainment industry had so many liberal flakes in it, it took me another 20 years to finally give up on the idea because you couldn’t change what they were.  But the process for me started at that play.  We didn’t enjoy it, to say the least, and we stopped attending social events organized by people like that director. 

So when the entertainment crowd makes fun of Cincinnati, and with the Sundance people, it’s the Robert Redford crowd.  They are not good people and have all kinds of mental problems that they hide behind entertainment.  I learned a lot from those experiences, which gave me a unique perspective to this very day.  But when they reject you, consider it a badge of honor.  I learned to hate those people over the years, not because I wanted to be a filmmaker, but because I did not want to work with labor unions and crazy lefties who saturated the industry.  But because the business gave them a cover story for vast evil, they saw Cincinnati as something to destroy, not adapt to.  And that same mentality is what is behind the anti-Trump movement.  And why I got into the Tea Party when I could have done many incredible things if I had joined the Sundance types?  Every time I’d get the invitation, my wife and I would decline, though, because the people involved were all like that director of Equus.  And we’ve watched some of those people we knew from back then turn into disasters over time.  None of them are happy.  None of them knew what they were doing.  They are all living train wreck lives.  The arrogance of their social positions filled with sex and nudity took them over a cliff, and we all saw it coming even at 19 years old.  And I’m glad for the experience, it has given me the ability to speak with a lot of authority on these matters now.  But when you hear that Sundance moved on from Cincinnati, that’s great.  We don’t want people in our town who think desecration of all value is the only way to be calm and hip.  And that to have a good social vibe, you have to destroy value.

If Trump or Any Politician Supports Pot Legalization: Smoke shops produce stringy haired losers and depreciated value

To answer a question that should be obvious at this point, but it needs an updated clarification, I am more than 100% against pot, or any marijuana support, and I will not endorse or support in any way a politician who is in support of marijuana legalization.  This came up in a recent discussion about political endorsements, and I had to explain to several people that just because pot was legal in Ohio, I did not recognize it as such and that I am more against pot sales and use than I ever was.  For me, it’s a Jesus in the temple against the money changers kind of thing.  I do not see marijuana as anything good for anybody, and it’s certainly not a free market right.  And to go to that next step, which evolved out of the question, would I feel the same about President Trump if he proved to be supportive of a federal policy on marijuana legalization?  The answer is that if Trump became pro-pot, that would be the day I work against him.  Everyone knows how supportive of Trump I have been over these last eight years, but the line in the sand would be pot legalization from his administration.  On that day, I would never be supportive of Trump again and would actively work against him.  That’s how serious I am about the matter, and life would go on if that turns out to be the case.  I know there are lots of discussions, especially from the Roger Stone crowd, to bend Trump’s ear to federal legalization.  If he did that, in my opinion, he would become the enemy, and I would actively look for his replacement.  That might be good news for people looking to drive a wedge between Trump and his base.  But because of all the talk in the background, I have to say it before it’s too late.

I don’t think Trump would do something so stupid.  He’s a states’ rights guy, and federal legalization would go against that position.  If states are that stupid to legalize pot, that’s their problem.  Now, Ohio just legalized pot, but not without some progressive gymnastics on constitutional technicalities that were very disingenuous.  There was a significant amount of outside money and influence that needed to be removed from the system, and I will certainly apply my efforts in that direction.  Just because radical leftist losers slid the issue under the door in Ohio, it does not mean I accept it.  And yes, there are a lot of Republicans who think that being pro-pot is being pro-business.  They tell me that the former Speaker of the House, John Boehner, supports the legalization of pot as a lobbyist.   My response is that I don’t like John Boehner; he cries too much and has smoked like a train chugging up a long hill for way too long.  Even though we share mutual friends, that does not mean I like what everyone does, nor do I endorse it.  I am not a libertarian.  I do not believe in the ‘live and let live’ philosophy, where you do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t impact me.  I believe in free markets, but I also think that we need rules in society that can make for a civilized nation, such as people shouldn’t have sex with kids under 18.  People shouldn’t drink until they are 21.  If I had it my way, people would never drink.  Kids shouldn’t drive a car until they are 16.  And people shouldn’t do drugs.  Any drugs.  I’m even against marijuana for medical use.  I hate the stuff and see it as the gateway drug to a weak society poised to collapse on itself.  Nothing good comes from pot legalization. 

As far as it being a pro-business stance, since pot was legalized in Ohio, we have all these embarrassing smoke shops everywhere.  They always have beat-up cars and stringy-haired losers coming and going from them.  Sure, plaza owners love them because they don’t want to see part of their buildings empty of a paying tenant. However, the quality of those tenants is detrimental to a community.  Smoke shops and dispensaries are no different than porn shops like the Hustler Store in Monroe are.  Nobody of any quality wants those reminders of human garbage around their homes.  They are bad businesses that lower the quality of our society; they certainly don’t enhance it.  To the short-sighted, smoke shops and pot sales might represent an expanding economy, but at the cost of other profitable aspects of society.  You might sell more pot to a bunch of losers, but those losers aren’t going to be inventing the next great thing, so in the long run, you cost business opportunities by having a pro-pot society of lazy slugs who adopt political socialism to feed their entitled personalities.  The billions of dollars of revenue that keep being passed around regarding the legalization of pot come at a cost of much more than that, primarily in the hard-to-define opportunity cost of a society that spends its recreational activity pursuing intoxication.  The same type of people pushing pot legalization are also advocates of a 40-hour work week, so they can stop work as soon as possible and hit the bottle or smoke more pot sooner, and the way I think about things, if they worked more and worked harder, they’d be intoxicated less.  And that is probably good for them, rather than giving them more leisure time that they will waste anyway. 

Would I throw away all that time I spent investing in Trump over just one issue of pot legalization?  Yes.  That’s how strongly I feel about it.  Pot is a nonstarter for me; there is nothing good to come out of it but short-sighted gains built on the backs of stupidity.  Strategically speaking, this is, of course, what the enemies want: to put Trump in a corner, make these tariffs a chopping block where he seeks an approval rating spike by pandering to the pot heads.  And if they can separate Trump from people like me, they would love it.  But it’s not too late, and I don’t think Trump will do it.  But there are politicians I like quite a lot who have embraced the legalization of pot in Ohio, and support a nationwide deregulation of it.  They compare it to the prohibition period against liquor and want to think that the two are the same, that if you have a society of alcohol abuse, then pot consumption is the next logical step.  But I say you have to draw a line somewhere, and for me, that is between alcohol and pot.  Ultimately, we shouldn’t have a society that embraces drug abuse no matter when or where.  That this is an issue at all says a great deal about our culture, which needs significant reform.  And there are a lot of people in the world that I have alienated just over the consumption of pot.  And I’ve always been this way, and I’ve no intention of ever changing my position on it.  I dislike the substance and the people who use it.  And in most cases, once I find out about it, I never speak to those people again.  So needless to say, when it comes to endorsements, if a politician, even if it’s Trump, supports the legalization of pot in any way, our relationship will literally go up in smoke.

Why Trump’s Tariffs are Great: China was built completely off stolen money, and that is coming to an end

It is stunning how stupid so many people are, especially regarding Trump’s tariffs.  People need economic lessons.  I majored in economics in college, which I hated.  I thought it was boring, that the professors were stupid, and that the students were even worse.  I probably read too many books before I ever stepped into a college classroom for my good because I couldn’t get into the going through the motions thing to endure so much stupidity.  But I knew, even thirty years ago, that they were teaching Marxism in all the economic schools, which was surprising, given that Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations should have been the entry textbook.  Nobody in America should be studying economics without understanding Adam Smith and putting their arms entirely around capitalism.  We aren’t a communist, socialist, or Marxist nation with a parasitic economic system, and all those traders on Wall Street have fallen into the schools of Marxism as their reference point, and that’s on them.  I’ve known about the influence Marxism has had in our political and economic fields for a long time, but this stupidity even shocks me.  People should know better what Trump is doing.  And thank goodness he is doing it.  Our trade imbalances were put in place for one reason: to redistribute America’s wealth to other nations, to loot the only real capitalist country in the world and feed it to all the crazy lunatic communist and socialist countries of the far east and Europe.  Yes, China, to those who don’t know, which appears to be most people working in the finance industry, is a communist country that has made all of its money off stealing it from the United States.  China did not create wealth and become the powerhouse it is today because it did something better in the world than everyone else.  They did it because they were built off stolen money, and Trump’s trade tariffs are designed to take that money back, as it should have been all along.

Go ahead and mark it on your calendars, these renegotiated trade deals from Trump will immediately infuse the American economy with trillions of dollars of new revenue, which has been part of our exporting portfolio.  The price of oil is coming down.  We will soon be shipping energy all over the world again, which will be worth trillions more.  And on the frontier of DOGE, we are going to address many of the assumptions about the size and cost of government that will pave the way for the future, where running our economy in the black will become the norm.  This is how you get there, and everyone should understand that.  They should have known this all along.  This should be taught in our colleges.  It’s basic economics from the perspective of Adam Smith’s capitalism.  I have several copies of Smith’s Wealth of Nations that I have read through so many times that the pages are nearly falling out of all the copies.  I have one in my office that I recently purchased because it comes up so often that people want to see it, and those older copies weren’t in a condition to be looked through without falling apart in their hands.  So, why isn’t that the case with everyone? Because it should be, otherwise we can’t even have a foundation discussion on economics unless that essential reference point is understood.  All these traders who focused on stock value should have seen the signs; it’s not like we didn’t tell you what was happening.  What they have been dealing with was fake value.  What they will be dealing with is actual value, reset by these tariffs, which puts the power position back into the United States, where it should always have been.

I want to mention a couple of things as a reminder of how we arrived at this point.  They are conspiratorial, but certainly not untrue.  Not convenient for people who would rather not know.  But Covid was a bioweapon created and released in China, which was accelerated to the world stage to knock Trump out of office during an election year.  COVID-19 was released shortly after Trump implemented the tariffs against China in the first months of 2020.  The free money was coming to an end for them, and they conspired with a lot of forces, especially at the World Economic Forum, to release a pandemic in the world to allow for the desired Great Reset of the global economy into a fully micromanaged Marxist perspective where China would rule the world from that position.  If you don’t understand that, go back and review all the evidence, and you will see that it was clearly what happened.  The other thing that happened was the conspiracy of the Federal Reserve to prop up radical leftist losers like Larry Fink at BlackRock to essentially use him to artificially prop up the stock market with a balloon that was always going to burst.  But they thought that by the time it did, the dollar would be gone and we’d be on a digital currency, and they’d never get caught for what they’d done.  The Fed and Wall Street conspired to print phony money with no gold backing, using it to inflate the market with cash that would be laundered through the stock exchanges, thereby creating entirely fictitious value. 

That’s what we do in real estate all the time, where we built a house for $ 50,000 30 years ago.  The house is the best house it was ever going to be when it started.  As it ages, it starts to fall apart and requires frequent renovation.  But our expectation of that value increases.  Today, that house is worth 200K or 300K, that same house, because we expect a Ponzi scheme where the future will pay for the profits of the past, until, of course, you hit the brick wall of diminishing marginal returns, which is where a lot of young people are today.  They can’t afford to pay $300,000 for a house that is still only worth $50,000 in absolute value. That’s what the Fed and BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard did to the world’s money supply, and they thought they would get away with it because the world would switch to a digital currency before the balloon burst.  However, instead, we elected Trump, and he was intent on correcting this mess because he understood it from the inside out. He promised voters that he would do precisely what he is doing now: bring the value of the world’s economy home, which is what is happening now.  All those jobs shipped all over the globe because of horrendous economic policies will come home for their survival.  Prices in America will decrease due to increased competition.  And our economy will be awash in cash, lots of it.  And quickly.  The only people who will suffer are those who were betting on the demise of America, which includes many traders on Wall Street.  That is on them.  They were warned, and they placed their bets against America anyway; so, no amount of crying about it now will put the genie back in the bottle.  I am very proud of Trump.  But what he’s doing isn’t strange or unusual.  I’m just happy he had the guts to do it, and now everyone will see for themselves what they should have learned in school – how the economy works.  And Karl Marx was a slack-jawed loser that nobody should have listened to, ever.  And for all those colleges who taught all these young kids who are now grown adults Marxism, they should be giving back what those educations cost, because they crippled people, they didn’t help them, and now they are too stupid to function in the world.

What is Required for a New Lakota School Board Member: Its a system that needs to die

Coming up in the Lakota schools soon is an opportunity to elect three more conservative school board members, and to answer the question I have been asked regularly: am I running for one of them?  Because many people want me to.  Not to give a politically worthless answer, but in my opinion, people who genuinely appreciate the system should be the ones to run it.  I do not like the system, and I have no interest in working with people like that.  I view education as a reform effort, and I believe the amount of time required to fulfill a school board role exceeds 70 hours per week.   It’s not a helicopter position as it’s now for many people who are currently in it.  So I would advise people who want to help fix the system and are willing to do that level of work to let us know, and we’ll help you connect the dots.  But as far as one of those people being me, that wouldn’t be a good idea for those wanting to save the system in some regard.  I’m accustomed to being entirely in charge of the things I do; I’m not a very good consensus player.  I don’t even think the design of school boards in public education is correct; it needs a strong CEO-type to oversee these radical superintendents.  I don’t like the lawyers.  I don’t like the teacher’s unions.  I don’t like the way they are funded.  I don’t like what they teach.  I don’t think they work long enough hours, regardless of the level of employees, administrative, or the teachers themselves.  I support scrapping the whole thing and starting over.  However, there are many parents with school-age children who want to make the best of a difficult situation, and these are the types of individuals who should be leading the school. 

As far as holding on to the way things were in the past?  There is no chance of that.  I was watching the protests this weekend at the Statehouse against Trump and Elon Musk over their fears that Social Security will be cut, which isn’t even on the table.  However, the level of stupidity exhibited by some of those participants is genuinely overwhelming.  There is no talking to people like that with reason.  They can’t understand anything that needs to be changed, so, in my opinion, they should all be scrapped.  They are not prepared for what needs to be done.  I would argue that they aren’t even qualified to be parents.  I feel sorry for the children born into families with the kind of parents who go to these anti-Trump protests.  It’s not their fault their parents are idiots.  But I see no hope in any of those people; they are the result of a society that has experimented with Marxism, and they accepted those thoughts as a new reality.  And that is not the future of education.  There is only one way things are going, and no amount of crying like a baby is going to change anything.  The funding of public schools needs to change; it will change.  The government funding of schools, with unmanaged money moving from the federal government back to the local level, is not a future prospect.  It can’t be, and it never should have been.  People have seen what that system gave them, and they aren’t willing to continue with that method.  The per-pupil costs of educating students should be at least half what they currently are.  When I talk to people who are out there carrying signs in favor of preserving that system, they don’t understand it, and they never will.  Education has to be competitive; we need competition with other teachers, with other districts, and with other states.  The teacher’s union model of everyone getting a collective bargaining agreement for subpar work is over.

And as I say that, people will tell me tomorrow, and the day after that, and the week after that—that’s why I should be on the school board.  Consider what you’re saying and think about what you know about me.  Yes, I can speak very politically, and I work very well with people who hate me and plot against me with everything they can come up with.  My life is far more complicated than the most ostentatious Shakespeare play.  There isn’t any way for my life to be reflected in art because nobody would believe it, including the most conspiratorial of Shakespeare’s works.  My idea of the perfect school board member was and is Darbi Boddy.  She genuinely cared about making the school a great one, and she represented a sizeable demographic group within the Lakota school system.  And people from all political sides conspired to get rid of her.  Who in their right mind thinks I would put up with that?  Darby handled things very well and played by the rules, paying her legal fees to defend herself in ridiculous ways.  She never should have had to do that.  And I can say, I wouldn’t.  I would burn the whole system down from the inside out, along with all the people associated with it.  So be careful what you wish for.  I want what’s best for the people of my community.  However, what’s best for me is what people who deal with me receive, and I’m not sure people can see past the results they want, which are undoubtedly attainable.  But what would they do with the wreckage in the aftermath? That’s where the real trick is. 

I think there is a way to do it, but as I mentioned, I believe the job of a school board member at Lakota schools requires at least 70 hours a week.  It takes that long to read everything you need to read and speak with all the people you need to talk to.  The school board meetings need to be more prolonged, more frequent, and include more detailed information.  And the people working together need to build a team, not to resemble a Shakespearean drama.  And when I say that, we need three school board members who will work together, not against each other, and merge into the political faction of the teacher unions.  I have a very dominant personality in personal conduct, and I excel when I can give orders.  But consensus building is not my thing, and it never will be.  I’m the one you call to take the head shot.  Not the one who cleans up the mess.  And Lakota schools are a mess, and there is a lot to clean up.  And the people doing that need to like each other and to represent the community in the best way possible.  But there will be a lot of hard talks and times in the next two to three years.  Really, until Vivek Ramaswamy is governor of Ohio, we won’t be able to truly fix public education for good with competitive models and funding tied to the child, not the uncompetitive local school.  The property tax racket has to come to an end.  It has given us a garbage product taught by garbage people who are worthless in every category, and it’s time to put all that to an end.  As those protesters increasingly do in places like the Ohio Statehouse, they aren’t in the realm of reality, and that isn’t the fault of the rest of the world.  It is their social dysfunction to think that a school system can continue to get unlimited funds to sponsor a poor work ethic and to teach Marxism to the next generation isn’t even a consideration for the future.  I will not say everyone but me should do such a hard job.  But when it comes to delivery, be careful what you wish for.  My bedside manner on this topic does not come with any handholding.  I’ve been ready to pull the plug on the patient for a long time.  It’s a system that needs to die.

Why ‘The Chosen’ is Successful and ‘Snow White’ is Not: Understanding basic ecnomics

I am a little bit baffled by some of the fear surrounding the Trump tariffs. What did anybody expect to happen?   While this is a topic in its own right, economic understanding in general appears to be lost entirely on ordinary people; they don’t understand basic concepts, let alone complex ones.  The same mentality also applies to movies.  It’s a different business, but it’s all about generating revenue within an economic system that provides entertainment to people.  This Snow White Disney story is a microcosm of the general global trade understanding.  What was Disney thinking in making that stupid live-action remake?  And spending so much money on it.  You could say the same about trade imbalances that favored China over American imports and exports.  Why did the world make the dumb decisions to push international wealth redistribution, which is unmistakably present in financial transactions?  Incentives for foreign trade versus domestic production have been in place for a long time, and they were costly and detrimental; now someone has to pay for all that foolishness.  Why is that so stunning to people? Surely, they can’t be that stupid?  Yet they are, and in incredible ways.  In the first week of April 2025, the streaming show The Chosen Season 5 was released to theaters and did so well that it came in third at the box office, just behind Snow White.  That says a couple of things: that The Chosen is doing really well, and that Snow White is doing really badly, because these are not apples-to-apples movies.  Snow White has a budget of around $ 300 million, whereas The Chosen is designed to be a streaming show that plays in theaters as a dedication to Easter, giving fans a big-screen experience during the Holiday.  It will have three theatrical releases leading up to the Easter Holiday with a total budget of around $45 million.  The Chosen is monstrously successful on paper, whereas Snow White from Disney is a dismal failure on every measure.

My wife and I like The Chosen show. We’ve watched it on several streaming platforms over the years and look forward to every season, which I think is surprising.  It’s not as if people don’t know the story of Jesus; it’s very well-documented.  However, the director, Dallas Jenkins, and his wife, Amanda, have done a fantastic job with the show, telling the story of Jesus in a way that I have never seen or heard before.  They love the material, and they love each other, and it shows on screen, even on the big screen.  You can see The Chosen’s previous four seasons on Amazon Prime. I’ve also watched it on Roku.  And we liked it so much that we went to the theater to see Season 5, because we enjoy it that much.  There are planned 7 seasons in total, as this Season 5 is leading up to the crucifixion of Christ, and by Season 7, it will be the resurrection and an exploration of what happened in the years following Christ’s death.  The way they are presenting the material is well done.  I think it’s the best television in years, much better than anything else on the big screen or small.  It reminds me of Little House on the Prairie from the 1970s in many ways, with well-told stories that encompass all the things humans genuinely desire from the world, including goodness.  You would think that this would be obvious to more people and that more of these kinds of projects would have been made over the years, but Dallas Jenkins was pretty much ran out of Hollywood, as most faith based filmmakers have been forcing him to take his skills to the smallest venue possible, because he had been rejected from the business in Hollywood.

The Chosen began as a project for one of Dallas Jenkins’ friends, who wanted to create something for his church in St. Louis.  It was essentially a small film project that would be shown on a YouTube-like platform for a tiny audience.  And the project just grew from there, becoming the first season of The Chosen, which was produced on a minimal budget by a large group of people who were passionate about the project.  Nobody was getting rich off this material; they just did it because they loved it.  But ironically, even though everyone thinks they know everything about the life of Jesus and his disciples, The Chosen goes several steps further, and each season has grown in popularity and budget.  Season 5 was pretty big stuff, as much of it takes place on the Second Temple in Jerusalem and deals in great detail with all the politics behind the killing of Jesus in ways that have never been done before on such a scope.  Solomon’s Temple looks fantastic, as does everything else.  It is a stunningly good show with great acting.  A lot is happening with it that has tremendous social value, both politically and personally, and I am pleased with it.  I love seeing stories like this both in front of and behind the camera.  I want the world to have more people in it like Dallas Jenkins and his wife.  They are a good family who want to do good things and have the courage to do them without fear.  And if I had to put investment money behind something, those are the kind of people you want to invest in.  Those who took action early on are now seeing the benefits.

This Chosen project reminds me of the Atlas Shrugged movies from 2010.  People who have read me for a long time remember my involvement in that project.  I wanted to see John Aglialoro succeed in adapting that famous novel into a movie that Hollywood had rejected entirely.  The unions caused all kinds of problems, ensuring that each section of the movie’s releases never featured the same actors, which was brutal.  I thought the movies were pretty good and I talked them up as much as I could.  They tell the story quite well, based on the famous book.  The Chosen is similar in that it took a small budget approach that exceeded expectations in its delivery.  However, where Atlas Shrugged was unable to overcome production difficulties without being a bit resentful in the process, Dallas Jenkins gives viewers of his production no sense of trouble at all.  People can enjoy Jesus bringing the New Testament to life in all its glory on the screen, shot by shot.  Where John Aglialoro struggled to recover his massive investment in making the Atlas movies, The Chosen will likely turn out to be extremely profitable, a message that Hollywood cannot ignore, especially as Mel Gibson enters production on his Resurrection movie.  I tend to think that if Aglialoro had made the Atlas films more like Jenkins’ The Chosen, he would have been a lot more successful.  However, we’re dealing with the Trump years, as opposed to the Obama years, and things are pretty different now than they were then. People have a hunger for goodness that they didn’t have even back then, when they took a lot of things socially for granted.  But now with The Chosen, people are finding themselves again, almost as born-again Christians do.  And it’s showing up at the box office.  It’s not that the box office is failing because people aren’t going to see movies.  They don’t want the kind of movies Hollywood wants to show them, like woke adaptations of Snow White.  They want The Chosen, and those who provide that kind of content will be the ones who make the most money.  It’s not rocket science.

More Kristi Noem Please: The best torture of drug cartel members is to have to look at the Secretary of Homeland Security in those tight pants

I was surprised by Megan Kelly’s obvious girl jealousy of Kristi Noem when the Secretary of Homeland Security went to the El Salvador Terrorism Confinement Center maximum security facility and stood before the recent prisoners there, just dropped off by Noem and the Trump administration for their terrorist connection to the government of Venezuela in the form of drug cartels.  I thought it was great; one of the reasons I wanted Kristi Noem to be Trump’s VP was that she has a great sense of style.  I will never forget how proud I was of her for riding her horse onstage at the town square in Deadwood, South Dakota, during the Sturgis motorcycle rally, carrying an American flag and waving it proudly in the air.  Kristi Noem gets it, and I am glad that President Trump put her in a position to utilize her talents for the security of America.  After all the controversies over those prisoners and whether or not a district judge had the power to intrude on President Trump’s Article II powers, Kristi Noem had the guts to visit the prison personally dressed in skin tight jeans, a very tight shirt to highlight her female attributes, while wearing a $50K Rolex and forced all those shirtless, tattooed drug gang members to look at her from behind knowing they weren’t going to have any female company for a long time, and listen to her spike the football right in front of their faces.  As I like to say, that is how you make spaghetti in the kitchen.  That’s the only kind of language that these violent drug cartel members understand, and it’s about time that we start playing the game better than them.  Kristi Noem was wearing lip gloss and had her hair nicely styled, further demonstrating her excessive femininity. As a result, the world came unglued, including Megan Kelly, the former Fox host and current podcast commentator. 

Let me go on to say that with all the talk about Noem’s costly Rolex watch, there is much more to that than anybody wants to admit.  The jealousy among various members of the media society, raised on Marxism, was overtly ostentatious.  Kristi Noem is a successful person who has survived numerous hardships, and she is now in her grandmother years, looking like a pretty hot tamale.  She hasn’t let herself go like many women of her age, and to all those who have, and look like rotting potatoes left two weeks too long in the cellar, Kristi Noem has exposed the heart of the problem.  That when we talk about girl power and all this equality nonsense, the real motivation isn’t for excellence, but it’s to bring down all the pretty women in the world to the level of most everyone else who don’t look so good.  It’s a communist assumption that expresses jealousy for those who have and the mob’s ability to take it and to destroy it, or redistribute it under the flag of equality.  Where everyone is equally ugly.  Megan Kelly’s reaction was the jealous socialite who is concerned that a woman like Noem might steal her man with expressions of feminine charms, so she thought she needed to pile on to all the left leaning media attacks, because as the head of Homeland Security Kristi Noem looked like too much of a woman and not enough of an authority figure.  Sure, Noem could have worn a baggy jacket to cover her body, but she wanted to show off a bit, just as she does at rodeos and public appearances like motorcycle rallies.  She knows what America likes, and they like women with very tight jeans, tight shirts, long hair, and lip gloss.  And to rub a little salt in the wound, Kristi wore her charming Rolex watch.

Who are we trying to impress with a less-than-excellent appearance anyway?  Playing down to the crowd and trying to look more “professional,” which in this case is the same as saying, “more average” lets other people know that you are just like them, butt ugly, lazy, and broke.  But that’s not the message here.  Kristi Noem is a good-looking woman who knows she’s attractive, and she took to the streets to lead raids against dangerous drug cartels, helping to make America safe again.  Most of the prisoners she was standing in front of are dangerous people.  It sounds like there were a few mistakes mixed into that prisoner population, but so what?  What matters is that we commit Homeland Security to get rid of drug cartels who are operating as a hostile foreign insurgent within our borders and openly trying to poison Americans for conquest.  Sheriff Jones once tried to get me to do an article to show just how bad the border violence is, where these drug cartel members are in open war with border property owners and openly cut off the heads of people who stand up to them and stick them on fence posts.  And if they see a woman they like, they take her and rape her and dare anybody in law enforcement to do something about it.  And it happens every day along the border.  That’s the kind of stuff that Megan Kelly should be worried about.  Not how good Kristi Noem looks as a very hot grandmother.  When I see Kristi Noem, I think of American pride.  When I see Megan Kelly, especially after her reaction to Noem, I see a woman who appears to be jealous and insecure about her ability to keep the men in her life interested in her, which is at the heart of the criticism.

I told the Sheriff that I couldn’t use the violent pictures he showed me, because they were just too horrible.  As a media contributor, that is my editorial judgment because it crosses the line.  I don’t mind writing about it, but the visuals are horrible and more people should see them.  There are ways to do so, but the media’s responsibility is to let people know that the border violence that happens with these drug cartels is open warfare.  And it’s not just on our borders anymore, it’s in the middle of America, in just about every city in North America.  They are a purposeful invasion of our country, and we should rub it in their faces when we catch them, deport them, and put them into maximum security prisons for containment and punishment.  And yes, for a bunch of dudes stuck in a rigorous prison system, having to bunch together with a bunch of shirtless dudes and stare at the back of Kristi Noem’s tight jeans is torture in a good way.  And I’m glad Kristi Noem had the guts to do it, and the showmanship.  The Secretary of Homeland Security has written best-selling books and achieved great success in life.  What else is she going to spend her money on?  A Rolex is a symbol of success, and she should wear it proudly and audaciously.  Especially if it makes lazy people jealous and insecure people reveal who they are. Which is what Megan Kelly revealed about herself.  Women, no matter who they are, tend to be very jealous of women they think are prettier than they are, and they adopt levels of Marxism in their lives to make things “fair” for them.  So they can go to the grocery store without makeup and dress in sweatpants and a dirty old T-shirt without feeling bad about themselves, until Kristi Noem walks by in a cowboy hat, tight jeans, long cowboy boots, and a perfumed body, complete with gleaming lip gloss.  And when their men look and admire how attractive Kristi Noem is, women like that punish their men for all the things they didn’t do, and want the world to be just a little bit lazier so they don’t have to feel bad about themselves.  Nope, that’s not how we make America great again.  More people like Kristi Noem do, however, and I am very proud of her for what she has done and plans to do in the immediate future.  More Kristi Noem, please!

Rachel Zegler is Only Part of the Problem: The live action Snow White is a disaster on every level

As I said many times, Disney should have listened.  I wasn’t planning to discuss the new Snow White film, but there is just too much to discuss to ignore.  The Disney stock is never coming back, guys.  Bad decisions lead to failed companies, and Disney has made numerous poor decisions, which it can’t afford.  Sure, out of all the movies released last year, they were the only studio to get a few movies in the billion-dollar club.  But for them these days, as opposed to just a few years ago, their business approach was reckless, and they lost respect for their audience and instead put them in an abusive relationship.  And that is the only thing that can be determined about the horrible decision to cast Rachel Zegler into a live-action remake of the Disney classic, Snow White.  And it pains me to say all this, because I have liked Disney, as a company.  As a vacation destination.  I enjoyed Disney as a company and as a family.  I have wanted nothing more than to see Disney succeed, and my intentions in that direction can be traced back for decades. I have put it in writing.  However, as a large company and an easy target for left-wing politics, they have adopted an extreme political stance, becoming increasingly arrogant, and have inadvertently made people like Rachel Zegler possible.  Zegler is essentially the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of Hollywood actresses, and she has sunk herself with this one before the Snow White remake could even get out of the box with feminist diatribes and anti-Israel messaging in support of Palestinian terrorism.  She is one of the worst members of the radical left, and she didn’t do anything to keep it off people’s minds.  Instead, like an entitled brat, she thought for some reason that she could use her platform to advance her personal beliefs, which at her young age of 23 years old, nobody wants to hear.   What could she possibly know?

Disney spent well more than $300 million on a remake of Snow White that nobody wanted.  It’s a beloved classic that, if you were to remake it, audiences would likely want to see how a cartoon looks in live-action, rather than using live-action to reinterpret classic themes as modern social commentary.  And then to write a script and put it on the screen by committee, the way many studios do these days.  Someone should have pulled Disney aside as a company well before they cast Zegler in the film to play the pure, white Snow White.  There were numerous mistakes made well before the cameras started rolling.  However, Disney, like Zegler, started this process by targeting Rosanne Barr for her political beliefs, and most notably, the actress Gina Carano, who appeared in the Star Wars: The Mandalorian show.  Of course, Rachel Zegler thought she should discuss her radical left-wing politics while doing press for Snow White, as the company itself was promoting that kind of activism.  She’s just a dumb, inexperienced kid, copying the adults around her.  What did she know?  Or what could she be expected to know?  Disney attempted to part ways with Johnny Depp regarding the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, which was a terrible mistake.  Not that Johnny Depp is a good person.  He did call for the killing of President Trump by assassination.  But when it comes to the Hollywood community, most people can agree that he is the character people want to see in any Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and Disney tried to push him out because of the anti-white male stereotypes.  Now that they are in deep financial trouble, they are trying to repair that relationship.  But it’s too late.

The math is obvious: movies like Snow White need to be in the billion-dollar range for box office viability.  However, Snow White only grossed around $43 million in its opening weekend, projecting the film to be a massive loss.  But Rachel Zegler is only part of the problem.  She’s the face of it, and she opened her mouth way too much even a year before the film came out.  Disney re-shot the movie and attempted to address some seriously problematic plot points.  For lots of ridiculous reasons, Disney thinks it needs to reprogram what little girls want to see in a movie, anti-romance stories, and feminist power where the evil witches are made sympathetic, rather than hated.  And that is because these goofy feminists are now running these studios, and they bring their broken politics to these projects and hire a cast that represents their radicalism as if these career movies will hide what’s ruined inside them.  But that’s not what people want to see.  People go to the movies to see hope and a positive reflection of their concerns.  They want to leave a movie feeling good about things, not being lectured to about how they need to change their minds.  Little girls hope that someday they will have a prince who comes and sweeps them off their feet, and that they can produce a nice family and live happily ever after.  The original Snow White was all about love’s first kiss and defeating the evil queen.  Not coming to terms with evil which is ultimately where Disney has fallen short.

There are properties that Disney still owns that are generating a little money, such as the Marvel films, Star Wars, and Avatar, with a few projects on the horizon.  There will still be a few movies here and there that do somewhat well, relative to the rest of the Hollywood industry.  But that is only a shadow of its former self, and once that trust is broken with audiences, it will be lost forever.  There is no way to repair it now.  Disney has made itself an anti-Trump, anti-family entertainment company, and I can say that after just visiting there with my family recently.  I wanted to love the Disney experience.  I had just returned from a week-long trip to Japan and then spent a week with my whole family at Disney World, staying at the wonderful Fort Wilderness resort.  I wanted to like it.  But it was like being in love with a ghost.  The magic had gone from the park; it was obvious to me.  All my kids enjoyed themselves, but to be honest, their favorite part of the entire trip and all the fantastic things we did was the swimming pool at the resort.  I spent a small fortune to give my granddaughter a Disney princess experience, complete with a dress and opportunities at the famous castle, and she thoroughly enjoyed it.  She still talks about it all the time and I spent the money because I wanted her to have a taste of an elevated female experience, as a little girl, of what life might be for her, as opposed to the doubts that are so persistent in little girls worried that they might not be pretty enough, or smart enough to get what they want in life.  Disney’s answer to that is to attack the expectations so that nobody fails.  And that is not what people want, which is why the parks are not as full as they used to be, and why people have stopped seeing Disney movies, are canceling their Disney+ memberships, and are turning to other entertainment options.  Rachel Zegler is a creation of Disney, and their support of people like her is precisely why they are failing now.  And why their stock will never bounce back, which I hate to say.

Marc Elias and Mark Pomerantz Committed Sedition Against America: They have to be punished and more for what they did

It can’t be forgiven or forgotten what Marc Elias and Mark Pomerantz did to President Trump to commit election fraud.  It’s not enough to deal with what they actually did, but we have to consider the intent, just as any legal matter would traditionally, and justifiably, be settled.  Because unless we punish them, and punish them hard with years in jail, a loss of their incomes and reputation, and perhaps even worse, these people and many others will do it again.  We’re talking about what Trump said about them when he gave his recent speech to the Department of Justice.  And I’ll go one further: they would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for January 6th and the anger over election fraud.  These people had to somewhat play by the rules they intended to break because they were scared of people coming uncorked on them because of what they saw once Trump was removed from office.  So they at least tried to give the illusion that they were playing by the rules.  But at a minimum what the Democrat lawyer Marc Elias did to support Joe Biden’s election theft of 2020 can only be viewed legally as sedition and a conspiracy against our nation.  To further cause massive abuse of the power system in place, Mark Pomerantz left his job as a federal prosecutor and joined the Manhattan District Attorney to go after the Trump Organization itself and destroy the past and future president’s access to income.  It should never be forgotten that if Trump had not won the 2024 election, he would have been sentenced to hundreds of years in prison and would have been driven to bankruptcy.  Both of these guys went for Trump’s jugular without even thinking about what might happen if he were to win another election and be restored to the White House.  They intended to destroy Trump and to send a message to the rest of us never to play in their sandbox of Washington, D.C., again.

We all know attorneys like Marc Elias and cutthroat losers like Mark Pomerantz.  They knew Trump won the election, so they openly sought to suppress the evidence and to run out the litigation methods in the courts by using time against the concept of justice, knowing full well what they were doing.  And to keep the cover-up going, they had to destroy Trump so he could never afford to run for President again.  The message was that they had control of the system, not the voters and that they were going to use the legal system to remove a president from power.  There were a lot more people involved than just these two, but they willingly played their part in a coup of a people’s pick in the White House.  And at a minimum, they committed sedition against the United States. Sedition by technical definition, is defined as conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or government.  It typically involves actions or words intended to undermine or overthrow established governance, encouraging resistance, insurrection, or disloyalty among citizens or officials.  Sedition differs from treason in that it doesn’t require an act of war against a state but only a mere advocacy or conspiracy to qualify.  And by that definition, Marc Elias and Mark Pomerantz committed sedition against the sitting government, which was the Republican President Trump.  Our means of resolving political disputes are elections, and they sought to tamper with them, in one way by fighting challenges in court because the process exceeded the timelines, so Elias could run out the clock in court filings because of the need to put Biden in as president was faster than the courts could process the evidence.  Elias also knew that the courts and the political machine itself could not afford to let people know the truth about the election fraud they had used to get rid of Trump.  They didn’t like Trump and they all did what they did to remove him from office.  They didn’t expect people to know what they were doing and stay angry about it for the next four years. https://youtu.be/3TRkuSGkx9c?si=FXzMhXZLkjmsZ8Mp

And Mark Pomerantz was going to validate what Elias was doing by ensuring that there was never another head-to-head matchup that would show what they did to cheat in the election.  In 2020, COVID-19 was used to change election standards, which allowed for massive cheating, which they couldn’t do again in another election.  So, the big fear, once Trump survived everything, was to get rid of his ability to run again with court challenges that would destroy him as a person because they had to maintain the coverup of the 2020 election fraud.  Once Trump was on stage with Biden for that June 2024 CNN debate, everyone knew, especially Marc Elias, that they would not be able to get 81 million votes for Joe Biden again.  They didn’t get it the first time because they had allowed voter irregularities to be counted as actual votes, and those people weren’t real.  And with all the eyes on the situation, they knew they had to try something else, so they put Kamala Harris in the role and pushed out Joe because if they had a head-to-head matchup, it would be obvious what they had all done four years prior, and they couldn’t afford that.

So don’t imagine that everyone has suddenly become cooperative and that Marc Elias and Mark Pomerantz are victims looking over their shoulders at a president who named them precisely at a speech at the DOJ where there is a new, aggressive Attorney General. And that it’s unfair to go after political enemies.  No, these guys are more than political enemies.  They inspired sedition against our country, against our election system, so that they could erode trust in our election system at the most fundamental level.  And they weren’t just trying to destroy Trump and his family.  They were sending a message to everyone who supported him that we didn’t have control of our government.  They were in charge, and if they had been allowed to stand, if they had succeeded in keeping Trump from running again, which they tried everything in their power to do, we would have officially lost our government to this fourth branch Deep State government where lawyers like these two seditious characters ran cover for a corrupt system that steals money from the people and gives it to themselves as the corrupt aristocracy of nonrepresentative government.  And they all got caught, and they are only being friendly and cooperative now because they hope their guilt is never revealed.  But Trump called these two out because they must be an example.  And he will slow cook them, let them sweat it out because they deserve punishment and more.  They are evil people, and any capacity for compassion toward their intentions has long expired.  And they have to be punished for the sedition they utilized against the United States of America.  Not because they went after Trump.  But they tried to steal our government from us and then cover up their crime with further crimes.  And we can’t have that.  So they must be punished in a way that will give pause to the many others lingering in the background, thinking of doing worse if they can get away with it.
