The Removal of Politicians like Kevin McCarthy Will Be Normal: Good people like Bernie Moreno are the future

It should have happened already in history, the removal of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.  The problem most people have is that they have fallen in love with this notion of acquired power, preserved through bureaucracy and mindless red tape, which is the theme of Washington politics and the media culture that supports it.  Hey, we are dealing with unprecedented evil from the Administrative State; where are the investigations for the Wuhan lab leak, and what does the government know about it and when?  Where are the impeachments of the Biden crime family, and what about the election fraud that put him in office?  And the failure to secure the borders, you don’t play friendly with Democrats.  You do the job of the American people, or you should be removed from office.  Nothing is so sacred as a job if you are not doing the required work.  And Kevin got caught playing with Democrats, trying to destroy America with reckless debt.  I have news for everyone; this is nothing.  The goal isn’t to play nice with other Republicans to preserve Republicans holding more seats than Democrats for power and control of the House floor, as defined by the people trying to destroy our country.  No, we are in a period where actual achievement is required to do these jobs, and if people aren’t doing the job, they will be fired.  For too long, the focus has been on sitting in seats while politicians did the work of lobbyists, and people have grown tired of this nonsense, so this removal of people from office is only going to occur more often, and who is to blame?  The people who didn’t do the job, not the people who called out bad behavior for what it is.  By the nature of things, people should expect many more terminations of government positions if the expectation of actual performance drives the value of those positions.

I had an excellent opportunity to have lunch with Bernie Moreno, who I will be endorsing for the Ohio Senate, and I took away some exciting switches in sentiment for these types of races.  J.D. Vance has already come out and endorsed Moreno for what they are presenting as Team Ohio in the Senate, and from him was a clear understanding that life in Washington, D.C., had to change dramatically.  Moreno is a performance-based guy, a successful person before he ever became involved in politics; he represents an entirely different kind of politician that fits in well with MAGA Republicans as opposed to entrenched SWAMP creatures who grab power by telling everyone what they want to hear, then doing nothing once they get in office.  I asked Bernie why he wanted to run for such an office; he could be doing many other things now.  He responded that he wanted to give something back, which was almost precisely what J.D. Vance had told me a few years ago in the backyard of Nancy Nix.  I’ve been doing these kinds of political lunches with people for thirty years and only lately have I noticed this trend toward merit-based politics since Trump changed things so dramatically in 2015.  Because of Trump, there are now people like Bernie Moreno entering politics, people who have been successful before who are entering politics to bring success from their lives over into public enterprise.  They expect to do a good job; they aren’t going to these offices because they can’t hack it in the real world.  These are completely new types of politicians and that trend is increasing.  Kari Lake just announced that she is running for Senate so we are seeing a dramatic change in expectation as to what a politician should be, and people like Mitch McConnel and Kevin McCarthy are not it.

I also learned at that same lunch from Bernie that Rob Portman, a person I used to know pretty well until he turned to the dark side of Democrat politics, was having a fundraiser in Cincinnati for Kyrsten Sinema.  Of course, the disgust that comes from those kinds of meetings is politicians’ lack of respect for actually doing the job.  The belief is that it’s more important to reach across the aisle to play nice in the sandbox with rivals than actually to get the job done.  That kind of ridiculousness has given politics a bad name, and people are tired of it.  We don’t want bipartisan support with outright Marxists.  We don’t want our Republican politicians to hold hands with domestic enemies.  We want the job of representation done and done well.  And if things get a little rough in debate, fine.  The Republican Party is still the party of Trump, not the country club Republicans of the establishment who represent lobby power more than the boots-on-the-ground people they have always supposed to have represented.  Even though my lunch with Bernie was at a country club, it’s a shift in focus that has occurred over the last decade that he clearly understands.  There is nothing wrong with a good day of golf and talking about important things in politics.  But acquiring power so that a politician can be in such a club environment to make deals with people who do not have the best intentions of America in mind are days that have been over for a while. 

Bernie gets it, and so does J.D. Vance and many others entering the Senate and the House in the coming decade.  Washington, D.C., will have to be a very different place if we get spending levels down to where they should be and get our economy moving in the right direction once again.  That could mean cutting 75% of all employment in the Beltway culture, from the media to lobbyists to actual government employees.  Even after Trump comes and goes, I’m telling everyone now, people like Vivek Ramaswamy are going to be setting economic policy in America.  Things are never going back to what they were. People do not like the kind of government that has produced Joe Biden and his corrupt, sex-addicted family.  In the wake of another Trump term, the political trend will be to clean house, especially after everything the establishment politics has put him through.  They deserve what’s coming for all they did, and Kevin McCarthy is just the tip of the iceberg.  Kevin wasn’t doing the job people expected of him, and for all the House members who thought that the value of Republicans holding enough seats to maintain a majority was the game, they have turned out to be wrong.  When people make promises, as Kevin McCarthy did to obtain the Speaker role, they must live up to them.  Making deals with the Biden White House, who shouldn’t even be there, is not doing the job he promised.  Having the third most powerful position in the world isn’t worth anything if that power isn’t used to do what’s suitable for the people Kevin McCarthy represents.  We don’t need more hand-holding with Democrats to provide the illusion that everyone is getting along.  When we have the problems we currently do, we want results, not cosmetic media drivel, a stiff upper lip while the Titanic sinks to the bottom of the cold ocean.  We need passion in these political offices by people who will never sell out to domestic enemies who intend poorly for our country.  And those values will only become more prevalent in the months and years to come.

Kevin McCarthy Had To Go: We have representatives in America, not leaders who can be captured by globalism

The biggest problem with modern politics is that we’ve tried to take an American republican form of government and mix it with this Marxist globalism concept, where consensus-building values are the value system.  The American government is supposed to be boisterous and combative.  I do not mean it in an over-the-top way, but in the values that should be pursued in government, where honor and valor drive decisions.  Not administrative state passive-aggressive manipulations.  Of course, when you have a government built on passive aggression, you will have a failure, and that is the case of every Marxist government that there is, whether they are outright communist governments like China, Cuba, and North Korea or socialist governments like what they have in England, all the EU, Mexico, Canada and most of South America.  The globalist standard has been Marxism consensus building, where individuals are twisted into accepting the whole of the mob despite what the people electing these people wanted. It has been a disastrous failure, especially in America, with everyone in the world trying to steal our money. Politicians are all too tempted to give it away to make all their global friends and lobbyists happy.  At least with dueling, individuals had a measure of respect that backed their actions, which showed in successful government.  And in that spirit, it was about time that Kevin McCarthy was thrown overboard as Speaker of the House.  Matt Gaetz did an excellent job of sticking to his promises and showing that he’s not afraid of conflict by not falling in line with the mob, and that’s how a good government is supposed to work.  We have been functioning from all the wrong measures for too long, leading to significant problems for the American government that must be fixed. And removing Kevin McCarthy from his speaker role was an essential first step in what will happen over the next few years. 

This was obvious after what the World Economic Forum tried to pull on America during the Covid crisis, which they were at the heart of.  They didn’t understand American forms of government, where we have representatives instead of leaders.  And they thought, just as they have done with corporate structure, that if they capture assets like in chess, they capture the whole thing through consensus building.  However, the American form of government was meant to slow down these communist ambitions and put the decision-making process on a representative republic where representatives of the population were elected and sent to do the people’s business.  In that understanding, Matt Gaetz is the perfect representative acting on behalf of his constituents.  Kevin McCarthy was not because he had strayed away from representing his voters, and instead was getting pulled into all these other directions that globalism desires.  More irresponsible spending to establish a continuing resolution on a budget that is way out of control.  Nobody wants to see Kevin McCarthy work with many loser Democrats who wish to destroy our country.  And because he did, he should be removed.  And if such a fight becomes personal, let them fight it in the street.  That is much better and more honest than what we have been getting from the government.  All the dishonesty of such a passive-aggressive government shows itself in inflated spending because, to hide all the malice, the government steps into a giveaway mode to buy off the public the same way that consensus-building monstrosities have bought off our politicians.  And the whole deal gets blown up into the kind of disaster we have witnessed for decades.  It is not good that it has taken this long to remove the Speaker of the House for not performing correctly; it should have happened long ago.  All this politeness costs money. 

Klaus Schwab has been increasingly frustrated with the American West in that he sees so much pushback with the direction of his Great Reset that he’s been asking leaders to turn over management to the World Economic Forum to implement all their dumb ideas.  I told you guys over a decade ago about Socialist International and other Marxist organizations that are at the center of everything the European Union is up to.  Klaus and the gang do not understand the American government, nor do people like Larry Fink and Bill Gates, prominent investors in globalism, as direct advisors to the World Economic Forum.  The key to their Marxist push with their economic plans for globalism entailed asset capture.  If they can capture an institution, such as a political party like Republicans and Democrats, they could control the institution’s direction.  But they missed that American politicians are supposed to represent Americans; they don’t lead Americans.  Americans don’t want or need leaders.  They only want someone to do the work of government that they don’t have time for.  So when the Administrative State captured all the leaders of the world for the efforts of Covid management, which was essentially a capture of capitalist systems of economic activity and directing them to Marxist measures to remove the push of capitalism to the pull of communism, the assumption was that America would be steered where required by the World Economic Forum.  But that’s not what happened in America; politicians who went in that direction had their power removed, which is why checks on political power are so necessary in the American government.  It is supposed to be messy because people are messy.  And honestly, we must deal with the chaotic nature of governance before any excellent work can be done.

Kevin McCarthy was Speaker of the House over one of the most historical periods in American history, where we have a criminal family in the White House, which massive election fraud put him there, we have out-of-control border crossings and drug cartels essentially running the governments of America and Mexico, we have sex trafficking occurring everywhere untended, and we still have to punish the people involved in Covid.  And McCarthy was making deals with Democrats over a government spending itself into oblivion with more than 30 trillion dollars in debt.  Talk about a clown show.  Every member of Congress should have been just as outraged as Matt Gaetz was.  And that there weren’t indicates how many of them have become out of touch.  They see themselves as leaders more than representatives, which wasn’t what they were elected to do.  Most everyone, from Sean Hannity to Mark Levine, has missed the importance of the Kevin McCarthy removal.  Even Trump misses the point when he points out that Republicans fight each other while Democrats get along.  That is because the means they use to value government is wrong and built around Marxist ideas of consensus building instead of the conduct of a representative republic.  Most everyone, even people many consider the most intelligent people in the world, have missed the obvious.  America was never designed to be led by leaders.  The government intended to cool the jets of the power grabbers and prevent them from the kind of globalist deals that have caused us so much trouble.  We have a government in desperate need of accountability to the voters, not submission to authority, which has been the assumption.  And why so many people miss the importance of why Kevin McCarthy had to go, and many like him, is they are measuring the wrong values.  Our republic will survive; we don’t need leaders.  We need people to keep the government small and out of our way so that good things can happen in the country with the largest economy.  This is no accident, and why the Marxists in the world are licking their lips to get a hold of all that wealth by capturing what they thought were leaders when they were just representatives all along?

King Solomon’s Great Mistake: The Keyhole tombs of Japan and lessons learned in fighting demons

Every time I go to Japan, it becomes more and more evident to me that the Kofan tombs, the many thousands of keyhole tombs in Japan, are the direct result of interactions with cultures of the Near East around 100 AD to 300 AD, which happened to be the time that the book The Testament of Solomon was written and was one of the books considered to be put into the Bible under the guidance of the Romans after the Greeks had preserved the stories over the previous 1000 years. Because Japan is an exciting culture that pays excellent reverence to its past, they have kept it better than in the West, so a window into periods of history becomes very obvious. Even though there is little to no archaeology occurring to explore the contents of these giant mounds built in the form of a keyhole, their dating points to a global culture that had a particular obsession with demons and how that spirit world rules over the minds of humanity, something that is just as concerning today as it would have been in times past. Talking to the modern Japanese, the considered wisdom from their culture points directly to their management of the spirit world through Shinto Buddhism, where they seek to utilize a relationship with the Kami, spirit creatures who roam about and work permanently in the background. In the Near East, in the times of the Bible or the Quran, we would call them Jinn, or “Genies.” In the West, we’d call them demons. And if you avoid assuming that everything over time was regional, the best window into that particular period and why they believe what they do can be reported from King Solomon himself in his book that never entirely made it into the official Bible, The Testament of Solomon.

In that book, Solomon, the great king of Yahweh, forms a relationship with a unique ring that God gave him to manage a pantheon of demons, and part of the signet was a keyhole symbol, according to legend. Solomon could use the ring to lock up the spirits and put them to work in building the great temple. However, by the end of the book, Solomon, in his never-ending quest to indulge in his sexual conquest of many thousands of women, finds one that refuses to sleep with him unless he grinds together five grasshoppers and dedicates their destruction to her god Moloch. So, Solomon does this, which makes God very angry, and essentially ends the line of kings created by the line of Abraham as the experiment to find a righteous people blew up in Yahweh’s face. At that point, the Hebrew people are doomed, the sons of Solomon are punished for their father’s transgressions, and Nebuchadnezzar soon follows to destroy the people of Israel and cast them into captivity once again. The mistake most commonly made by everyone is assuming that this Testament of Solomon is a regional story, not a global one. But I have a few maps that show the reach of King Solomon’s empire at the height of it, and it doesn’t take much creative thought to see that trade to make that empire so vast was extending into the New World, specifically the Amazon River Valley, and it spread to the East as far as it could go, Japan.

When you travel around modern-day Osaka, these keyhole tombs don’t look like much but a clump of trees in very packed urban settings. They are everywhere; some are much larger than others. But they remind me a lot of the various Indian mounds from North America, the same ones I have been saying contain the bones of a giant species of people, which is also not seeing much archaeology being done to investigate appropriately. Such a reach for the empire of Solomon is not unrealistic, traveling thousands of miles from Japan to the Middle East over a thousand years. Ironically, modern Japan’s relationship with demons of the spirit world is best captured by the work of the Near East writers, whether Arab, Greek, or Roman, or caretakers of the Indus Valley. The point is that people talk, and over the years, these stories took on a life of their own, but their point of origin was the empire of Solomon before being wiped away by a rival faction in Babylon. Solomon couldn’t have hoped to obtain such wealth without creating many enemies, and he had God’s protection with that ring as long as he was loyal to God, which allowed him to defeat his enemies and conquer many global territories. That is until he went too far by sleeping with women who worshipped all those previous gods, like Moloch and Baal, which still work in the background to this very day around the efforts of globalism. These interesting problems are best studied in cultures like Japan but still show signs of their practice. Because Japan has been protecting itself culturally from the effects of globalism, by fully embracing tradition the way they do, we can get a view into our past in ways that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. If the mistake of assuming that Japan was always a regional culture can be avoided, more evidence of the truth can be utilized.

The giveaway to this global culture is in the site down the road from Osaka at Ishi-no-Hoden, one of the great megalithic sites in Japan and one of their current top three mystery sites. The dating for this gigantic rock that was in the process of being cut from the mountain is all over the place, with some of them dating back to 14,000 years, which would have put it in the Ice Age. During the Ice Age, these archaeological sites around Japan would have been the high ground as the entire Osaka Bay would have been drained of water, and a new oceanfront would have extended to the east, where many ancient temples are beginning to be discovered, now submerged. This is the same global culture working the stone at Easter Island, all over the Americas, and, of course, in the British Isles. Why an ancient people would go to such trouble isn’t the point, but what was is that there was a desire to work with such significant stone monuments, the same as was seen in the Near East at times before and after King Solomon for similar motivations. So, to assume that these are cultures in isolation is to do them a disservice. Therefore, to learn from history, we can look to the windows we do have, such as in the Testament of Solomon and the Kofan tombs all over Japan, and arrive at some very accurate understandings of how the people of the past dealt with malicious spirits in the politics of quantum physics. Whether we call them demons, jinn, or Kami, the modern Japanese people have been successful in managing those relationships, whereas people in the West have been seduced much as Solomon was, with the grasshoppers into throwing away everything, to sleep with another woman, especially when he had thousands of others he could have picked from. The lessons transcend time and are most apparent when visiting modern Japan, which has not used contemporary politics as a great eraser. We can still see some of the evidence left behind.

I think this map is much bigger

We Can’t Trust the CIA About Anything: Of course, they were involved in paying off informants of the lab leak in Wuhun

Sure, we believe the CIA was not paying off informants who wanted to leak that the Wuhan Lab in China unleashed COVID-19.  Why wouldn’t we believe them?  They lie about everything.  We know they have lied about tampering with the 2020 election; they get themselves in trouble with governments worldwide and get wrapped up in instigating conflicts.  We know they have been lying about their goals with the drug trade.  And due to recent actions on classified information on the Kennedy Assassination, they have their fingerprints all over it.  So now that we have info saying that Covid was a lab leak and the CIA knew about it all along, we are supposed to believe their denial.  I don’t trust the CIA; I have been saying for a long time that they were a form of government we shouldn’t be involved in, they aren’t worth the tax money given to them, primarily since they work against the country, not for it.  The CIA is not a Constitutional-based organization; they are a terrorist group of domestic enemies who have so little regard for the people of America that future funding them is ridiculously stupid.  They have been caught many times trying to overthrow America in the same way they have foreign dictatorships, and this latest COVID news is just adding to the pile of evidence showing how worthless and anti-American they are.  Funding them is essentially funding our destruction, which makes no sense.  No evidence indicates that the CIA, (Central Intelligence Agency) has the best intentions of America at the heart of its mission.  Only lazy, stupid people would think otherwise.  The CIA is an example of what’s wrong with the government when it grows too big and loses accountability to the public. 

I’ve always said that the COVID-19 virus was a created enterprise intended to facilitate the Great Reset’s grand plans through the World Economic Forum intent on infusing communism into global commerce.  Of course, the CIA would be interested in helping those anti-America factions; they have been caught so many times in similar conditions, and nothing says that it’s just an accusation this time.  Based on what they do as an organization, they would be involved in unleashing COVID-19 to the public to inspire that long-planned Great Reset, and whistleblowers who wanted to come forth about that information would be managed by the CIA.  That is precisely their relationship to the drug trade, which is purposeful poison intent on the destruction of American sovereignty.  We have learned that we can’t trust the CIA about anything or the FBI.  They are just a few examples of government that has spun out of control and has to be eliminated to inspire reform.  They believe they are a fourth branch of government accountable to the Deep State only.  And they forget that Americans don’t want to be managed by them like cattle led to the slaughterhouse.  But since its inception, the CIA has been a lousy organization, creating trouble wherever they involved themselves.  The only saving grace is that people believed that they were well-intended and meant to keep Americans safe.  That illusion is no longer practical because the evidence shows that there is no foundation in assuming they mean safety for Americans as a sovereign nation.  Instead, their behavior has been hostile to the people who pay for them, and the intentions of a country with borders.  They have lost their way, and have too much power, and too much money.

This is important in that the CIA not only worked with government forces to overthrow a sitting president, Trump, who had been voted popularly by the people of the country, but they openly participated in the killing of innocent people with the COVID-19 so that election fraud had an open door to success.  They were aligned with hostile forces in the process of voter participation, and they were caught in the act.  Their denial means nothing in this case because their behavior is consistent with guilty behavior.  Entire economies were ruined, and many lives were lost by their direct involvement.  And once their objectives blew up in their face, they are only trying to erase what they did to help make Covid happen.  Because of these impediments, we must defund all these intelligence agencies.  We would find that our world would be much safer without them not in it.  Even about the 9/11 attacks, which the CIA got caught allowing to happen through stupidity, as they claimed if only they had more power, which they were given after the Patriot Act.  But all they have done is slow down society needlessly for trouble that they are the ones perpetuating.  When you study all these stories of terrorism, very few work things out independently.  There is always some intelligence agency blowing on the fires to spread terrorism strategically for the goals of globalism.  Knowing that, why should we continue funding such a hostile force?  The CIA is filled with losers who couldn’t get a job in any other field, and they tend to be seduced to abuse their power, which was always a concern with a country having standing armies.  Safety in this case is that the CIA acts as their firefighters, as they are the ones often starting the fires. 

I’d love to cheer on the CIA and other intelligence agencies as patriot organizations.  But they aren’t.  They have proven themselves to be hostile to American sovereignty and seek to change the American way of life, a strategy that globalism wants to implement.  Not real Americans.  They should be eradicated as an organization for what they knew and when they knew it regarding COVID.  They are liars, and they lie about lying.  Nothing they say can be held to represent the truth. And everyone involved in knowing terrorism regarding COVID needs to be punished.  When they say they did not act to pay off informants, the same statement would apply to drug dealers and enforcement officers, and we know that is not the case.  The CIA is directly connected to the drug trade.  They are actively involved in assassinations—election tampering.  And now the release of artificial viruses made in a Wuhan Lab is part of their multitude of domestic actions intent on destroying all Americans.  They are not our friends, they are not protectors of the Constitution, and they certainly have made it so they aren’t accountable to voters.  As a fourth branch of government, they believe themselves to be committed to a Deep State of unelected bureaucrats, and their intent was well revealed through election fraud in 2020 carried on the back of the COVID-19 virus.  So that’s where we are with the CIA; they are not trusted, made that reputation on their own, and should be defunded completely.  They are a globalist terrorist organization of domestic enemies, and until we face the truth, we will continue to be disillusioned with their results.  We may want to trust them.  But we would be fools, based on the vast amount of evidence, to continue.

The Marxism in Our Finance Industry: Teaching people to smell their own bad breath

The answer to where all the dumb ideas come from is now quite obvious, the finance industry is dripping wet with Marxism and has now for many years.  It gets hidden behind polite conversation and golf games, but fundamentally, the entire industry is functioning from Marxist inspiration, from the works of Karl Marx and not the great work of Adam Smith from The Wealth of Nations.  So when you have the question, where do all these dumb ideas come from? Well, it’s relatively easy; it comes from what people are willing to do to get money from those who have it.  Personal politics are not so important to people until their financial needs are met.  Until then, they will sell just about anything to make a living, and the Marxist insurgents have figured this out over a long period.  Now, I know quite a few financial types: bankers, investors, and money movers.  As I’ve said many times, most people I know are very wealthy.  They don’t see themselves as Marxists and likely have never picked up a book on Karl Marx.  The grim reality for most is that people only have room for a few things: how they make money and what they spend it on.  Anything outside those parameters is considered useless, so we ended up with the philosophy of Marxism in our finance industry.  When most of the common talk is about golf scores and interest rates, there isn’t much room for a deeper discussion on the things that truly impact our culture, especially financially.  Most people who work in finance are like those who can’t smell their own bad breath; they don’t know they are Marxists.  They know the rules of the games they are playing.  They have no room for the question as to who made those rules up.  But the answer is global Marxists who purposely infiltrated the world’s money supply and have been the advocates for radical progressive politics across the globe, pushing people into outright communism as a result. 

They know that much; it’s easy enough to turn the ship back toward prosperity, just by understanding that more free-market ideas will inspire dramatic spikes in GDP.  However, removing the Marxists from finance is a bit trickier, and it will take several administrations of pro-capitalist growth to implement, well over a decade of work because the Marxism sickness that we see now is so embedded in our everyday lives that people can’t smell their own bad breath in regard to it.  They understand capitalist ideas when it comes to sports, talk about football games, and especially how to get a lower golf score.  But in the world of finance, they are lost to themselves to apply the same logic.  So until we have the same kind of discussions about Marxism and capitalism, people won’t see the problems they are creating in the flow of the money supply.  Most of our conversations have been about whether or not Marxism exists, while all these terrible things have been hidden in plain sight.  But the source of abuse of much power is in applying Marxism to what people will do to get access to money, instead of making it so that people will work harder and with more innovation in order to expand some market-driven necessity.   The tampering with that process by the financial industry has caused most of the damage we see today.

I was fortunate to have just about every kind of catastrophe in my life regarding finance, and at a tricky part of my life, a wealthy and influential figure in the Cincinnati economy gave me some great advice even though he was gloating at the time about his massive power and ability to crush anybody who stood against him.  He told me, “he who owns the gold rules,” as he was about to essentially destroy my life as much as he could because I was doing something that would cost his partners many millions of dollars at the time and put the politics of Cincinnati on its head.  But the lesson was worth more than any money I could have made at the time because I could put into practice ideas of capitalism and free myself of Marxism, which became quite clear to me in this experience.  He finished his advice to me by saying, “And you have no gold.  So you don’t rule.”  And that statement sent me on a path in life that has been very beneficial.  I have a bit of a temper, likely the worst anybody has ever encountered, but I have always learned not to show anybody the cards I’m playing with over time.  So to say the least, I took that conversation to heart and have spent the next thirty years fighting the things that made that guy have so much gold to rule over others because he was clearly a bad guy in the world.  But to hate money because of him was not the answer.  It was the way he thought and how the system was rigged to put money in his pocket to rule over others and not in the bank of people who otherwise deserved it, people of merit who had worked hard, done everything right, and made the world a much better place through capitalism.

We tend to incorrectly identify all wealthy people as greedy capitalists, which is part of the scam.  Most people who are very rich arrived with that wealth through Marxism and controlling markets for that philosophy, not through the free market associations of capitalism.  So, we never see the truth because we start with all the wrong definitions for what we are dealing with.  And without understanding what things are, people are easily seduced into some faulty philosophy that is essential Marxism hidden behind a veil of free market capitalism.  But in actuality, the truth of our economy is very far from what we thought it was.  And these radical leftists who have become very wealthy with this scam of brokering power to government in ways they could never otherwise dream of have put them into a position to force all of society to dance to their whims, to get their fingers on enough money to live on.  Few people are willing to stand for moral righteousness without cash in a bank account.  They tend to be bolder when they have full bank accounts, but often won’t do much publicly that might jeopardize that status, so the Marxists who now control most of finance have no incentive to change their ways because this system has worked for them.  Of course, in my personal story, I was able to get that guy back, and I profited quite a lot from that revenge.  But that’s another story all its own.  The purpose of this discussion is that I found it easy to destroy Marxists once you call them what they are by name and don’t allow them to hide in the background any longer.  President Trump has also figured that out over the years and is setting up a second term to do just that.  And in so doing, it will have quite an impact, for the better, on the finance industry.  So, there is plenty to be hopeful about.  It’s certainly not a done deal that global communism will ruin the world through finance, as it appears now.  There are a lot of changes coming.  But that is how we arrived here, and the lessons learned for America are pretty explicit.  And we can Make America Great Again. But first, we must remove Marxism from our finance industry as a top priority, which starts by admitting that the problem is far worse than we thought.

The Dangers of Marxism in California: Supply chain disruptions due to the electric truck mandates

The magic sauce anywhere in the world for successful government is not how much government can you make to create regulation but how much you can offer freedom to individuals and still have a stable society.  If the government becomes too large due to its expansion, you are failing as a society.  Of course, some government is needed, but when it is used as a crutch for creative enterprise, then the trouble starts.  And anywhere in the world this is true, in every country.  You can tell the success of the country and its measure of economic output, GDP, by this ratio.  Therefore, countries attempting to follow the false methods of the Masonic-driven experiment of Marxism where the government was created as a collectivist blob to replace the rulers of the world, then restricted economies are bound to occur, and that was never more obvious than in the movement against rationality with California imposing electric truck mandates that are starting to go into effect by next year, 2024.  There is no reason for the orders other than the government through its mass and force has decided that it wants to impose some limit on creative enterprise because, as a collective effort, they have a religious belief regarding climate change and its role in the universe.  A modern form of sun worship just like every other society of the past that has risen and fallen has embarked on.  Now, the government of California, and in general, the Biden administration, wants to force Americans into an electric car market one way or another.  And this government tampering shows up directly in economic health, especially in supply chain health.  Wherever supply chains slow down, look now to the size of the government and its not-so-well-thought regulations as the primary culprit. 

California has an increasingly hostile group of radical government believers. Once it is discovered that work is safest when laziness can be hidden behind government forces in size, they have decided to show their validity by disrupting supply chains to show their power to the world because they have openly embraced Marxism as a culture.  And that becomes obvious with their commitment to their power grid problems, and general approach to happy living in the world’s fifth largest economy.  California was always an obvious target for global Marxists who have infiltrated the government just as they do in the American government. Their next target is electric trucks to replace diesel semis by the middle of the next decade, starting with regulations for new truck registrations beginning during the next election year.   And they believe these regulations to be reasonable based on their purely fictional religious beliefs about sun worship.  Science or the marketplace is not driving these decisions, but the hunger for gaining the power of government rather than abusing that power to satisfy a mass religion of leftist values.  Even if the electric trucks were ready for prime time, the government’s radicalism into believing they can force society to live with the constrictions of the economy is truly dangerous.  And this is precisely the kind of behavior that has caused price increases at the grocery store during the Biden administration.  The lack of options and their price directly represent the amount of government regulating the behavior, and the result is slower supply chains and much less creative economic activity to meet the market needs of a free society.  When personal freedom is sacrificed to satisfy the power of government you get price inflation and slow supply chains in whatever industry you might be concerned with. 

Electric trucks could be an option under some conditions, but the marketplace must determine those conditions.  For instance, I have had exposure to electric forklifts for thirty years, and I generally like how quiet they are and how much instant power they provide.  But this is always the story with them; the charge rate requires at least an entire shift to utilize whereas their propane-driven counterparts can operate a total of 24 hours per day with the quick change of a tank.  So imposing electric forklift standards would force businesses to limit themselves to one shift per day where the forklift is charging and not doing work.  Or it would have to purchase another electric forklift that can operate while the other charges.  Either way, a restriction has now been placed on the business that it will have to pay for in some fashion, either in lack of output through production or the cost of more than one forklift that it will now have to maintain.  This is how the government causes inflation and disrupts supply chains, slowing the output to the end-use customer.  With the electric trucks of California, the essential same problem becomes apparent: the government assumes that employers will buy more electric trucks as an increase of the price of more than 30% each.  And that work schedules will be restricted to accommodate the lack of versatility to refuel.  Rather than make market decisions based on the logic of free enterprise, and in getting products to the consumer as quickly and efficiently as possible, the government has through force, imposed a religious belief that then limits the output of productivity.  And because they are a monopoly, there is no competitive means to measure success or failure based on competition. 

This is why Marxism generally does not like competition, because free markets expose their monopoly limits through comparison.  As a captured Marxist asset, California has all the other states in America to compete with, so the economic value can quickly become evident unless all forms, through federal mandate, are forced to do the same.  Therefore, if everyone is performing at the same level of insanity, then a better option will never be known to the public, which is their greatest present desire.  To hide their inefficiency behind government power, controlled free speech, and a lack of competitive criteria to measure against.  If electric truck manufacturers are forced to compete with other options, then their recharge time and other failings might be corrected through innovation.  But behind government force, there is no such incentive, and the limits rule the day.  And that is why the electric truck mandates in California are so disastrous and why government policy on them is so terrible.  Because of government intrusion in the free market of car manufacturing, many bankruptcies are on the horizon, and a significant impact on supply chains as old cars will suddenly become valuable because the new cars are so expensive and limited.  The electric vehicle market, in general, is representative of insanity because there are no power grid assumptions that don’t make electric bills horrendously expensive by forcing everyone to work with just another monopoly not using the best means of energy, the power companies.  We should be using nuclear power, but instead, the government has caused significant issues by going to war with fossil fuels and forcing solar energy and wind power, which is dramatically ineffective as a means of supplying energy.  And as a result, the economy of power becomes too expensive and under-supplied.  And society, in general, is much less vibrant because of the intrusions of a government that has too much power, and not nearly enough competition to keep it honest.

Yes, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham Should Be Impeached: Gun rights are the keys to all successful economies

And she should be impeached, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico.  I have been everywhere in New Mexico, and I can say with certainty most of the people there are not big supporters of her.  Her support primarily comes from the colleges around Albuquerque, where Marxism has infected the population in a population center that has given the illusion of a blue state mentality.  But that is not the case, and the governor has shown her cards in many ways by jumping offsides on a conservative hard count.  She never had the power to create an executive order limiting the Second Amendment in any way over what she says is excessive gun violence involving children.  The progressive trend to exploit children for the advancement of attacks on the American Constitution is not new, and it’s certainly what is going on with this latest attack on the Second Amendment.  Then, for that same anti-family Democrat party to advance talks of killing kids with abortion almost in the same sentences is perplexing and irrational.  But it’s not a surprise, given the state of their party politics.  The pressure to stop populism forces governors like Grisham to blink and give away their intentions when they would be better off holding their cards.  Democrats can’t afford to because their window on power is closing in on them.  Now, because of her outright attack on gun rights in New Mexico, many Republicans are calling for her impeachment, as her executive order limiting concealed carry where public places are concerned was such an overreach and abuse of power that Republicans are perfectly justified in attacking the governor for such outrageous actions.  I said it the moment she signed the order: Governor Grisham did not have the authority to act against gun rights.  Constitutional laws are “absolute.”  They are not subject to government interpretation or any progressive editing, which she had in mind when she signed her ridiculous executive order.

I think it’s great that we are finally having honest conversations about Constitutional law.  I have wanted to have these intelligent conversations for the last thirty years, and it’s only now, or really, since COVID came along, and all these big-time Democrats with Marxism clearly on their minds have shown the public what I have been warning about all this time.  People used to say, “No, they aren’t that crazy, (Democrats).  They aren’t Marxists, communists, and socialists.”  Well, yes they are, and they always have been.  They know that Marxism will never work in America so long as they can’t use physical force to impose compliance with the government, so they, of course, desire to destroy the American Constitution.  They aren’t looking to live within the law; they intend to break it, which Grisham’s Executive Order did.  Just as Biden’s Executive Order involving vaccine mandates clearly violated the law.  The American Constitution limits the powers of government; it doesn’t grant them.  Unlike Communist China, where they criticize all these limits on government power, the goal of Marxism as a philosophy is to have central state control over everything, and the people serve the state.  Grisham did as many progressives (Marxists) have been trying to do with their acquired power, abusing it toward the aims of global communism.  But they can’t hope to do that unless they can get people to fear authority, and that won’t happen if people are personally armed with gun rights.

The point of the Second Amendment initially, and to this day, is to limit the power of tyrants like Governor Grisham, who want to use government control to impose itself on the rights of individuals.  Government power is limited because of the tendency of authority figures to abuse their power throughout history.  With the long-established plans of Marxism to take over the world, and especially embedding itself into American culture under many disguises, they see where political sentiment is heading with MAGA and the support for President Trump, especially in New Mexico, so they are making their moves while they still can, while they still have power.  But in haste, governors like Grisham have shown ordinary people the game being played, not just speculated about.  And the reaction to her executive order is much more rambunctious than such actions have been in the past.  The government does not have the right to do what it did with Covid, and that is to suspend Constitutions.  That is why the scandal of Covid was so audacious and the political motivations so obvious, even if it’s hard for people to admit to.  COVID was about giving the government the power it wanted in the world for global communism.  It was not about health management. Otherwise, the government would have made emergency recommendations for Ivermectin upon the Covid outbreak.  Instead, they supported censorship.  They wanted casualties because it helped them advance their cause toward Marxism.  Just as Governor Grisham tried to exploit the death of children to take away gun rights and strike a blow at Constitutional limits to government power, these are scary examples of a government power grab. That is why we have a Constitution as we do, with the Second Amendment and the First to set up boundaries to check that power before it gets out of control.  An American society without guns will be a Marxist one, which is their goal, and when that power is abused, the natural reaction should be impeachment from office for the attempt.  There must be consequences. 

When people like Grisham say, “America is the only place in the world with gun laws that make gun ownership common.  Nobody else has them.”  Well, I’ve been all over the world, and I can tell you there is no place like America.  And why should there be?  It is no accident that the freest country on earth has the best economy.  And the areas that have the most centralized authority have the worst economies.  China is another Marxist con game where American investment has been tricked into believing that communism was the future, so they have moved in that direction, propping up the communist country into what history will quickly recognize as a dramatic failure.  Then, of course, why are guns needed? Well, wherever a good economy produces something of value, other people always want to take it, including the government.  So, that is why there is a Bill of Rights that protects gun rights.  And there is no negotiation on gun rights, none at all.  Gun rights are the key if you want an excellent economy, as most people worldwide do.  Where there is value, there must be a means to protect the value created.  Governor Grisham, like most from her Democrat Party, is attempting to take over the American economy with centralized planning, which will significantly restrict personal freedom and the amount of money such a country can generate regarding GDP.  So, people have a right to be upset about it, and more than ever, people are making the direct correlation between gun rights, safety, and economic viability.  The more guns and personal freedom, the more money a country can make.  And the more capital, the better the society and the options for the people living there.  Gun rights are the key to a productive and safe society.  Any intrusion on that deserves removal from government office, which Governor Grisham, at the very least, deserves for her vast examples of government overreach.

Yes, We Have to Impeach Joe Biden: Give Democrats worse for all the trouble they have caused

Wait, you know they are bluffing, right?  The Democrats don’t want Republicans to impeach their puppet president, Joe Biden.  Senators like Fetterman and his little hoodie are talking tough as if seeking the impeachment of the criminal Joe Biden would boost his public support and ensure he will be in the White House for another term.  They know better.  They count on you being so much of a sucker that you won’t figure it out.  But they don’t want you to know that.  What they fear most is that you’ll figure out the truth, that they are all paper tigers of Marxism intent to bluff their way into an overthrow of America.  And they want you to think they are daring you to conduct your own destruction.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Democrats know they can’t win elections unless they can rig them, like Brazil’s elections have been going on in Russia, China, and Venezuela.  The Marxists are trying the same thing in America, and so far, gullible Americans have let them have their way, and we are supposed to believe that we are a 50/50 country right down the middle.  But that’s not at all true, either.  That is how the uniparty of globalists wants you to believe things to be.  That is not the actuality.  Democrats have only gained power by bluffing their way to it, and Republicans have been played as suckers for most of the last two centuries.  And until they fight back, Democrats will continue to steal power through nefarious means and laugh about how they keep getting away with it.  Democrats will never wake up one day and apologize for what they’ve done.  They intend to destroy our country and us with it and they don’t care about your feelings.  They are ruthless.  Never forget that they are what John Fetterman, the goofy senator from Pennsylvania represents. 

The first reason we must impeach Joe Biden is because he deserves it.  He has been caught lying to everyone and selling his office to foreign and domestic enemies for much of his life.  He’s certainly not the only one, and yes, many politicians on all sides are guilty of precisely what Joe Biden has done.  But he’s president of our highest office in America, and we must protect its sanctity for our preservation.  That means Joe has to go through the wringer, and it has to be embarrassing.  We have to do it because it’s the right thing to do, not some political calculation where we worry it might hand him the next election.  First of all, it won’t.  But if it did, it wouldn’t matter.  When anybody does something wrong, they should be punished for it.  And the more powerful they are, the more public their embarrassment should be so that others might learn a lesson and not do as Joe did in the future.  History needs to remember Joe Biden in a salacious and horrendously corrupt way, because in America, we must continuously pursue justice, no matter where it takes us.  Our fear, because so many other people are also dishonest, keeps Joe Biden from being prosecuted, which should have happened long ago.  But now we’ve caught him and we can’t turn away.  Patriotism does nothing if we have loved ones die in foreign wars, but we can’t even secure an election, keep corruption out of public offices, and allow ourselves to be suckered by government gangs like the one Joe Biden has been running for decades. 

But secondly, look what they did to Trump, a rightly elected Republican president.  They impeached him, and who thinks we will move on in our country without revenge?  Democrats have it coming.  Forget all this stupid turn-the-other-cheek stuff.  Joe Biden and the government thugs running in his crowd must be punished severely.  They took the shot at our politicians, so they have it coming back at them.  They did not worry about going after Trump, even trying to jail him, because they were playing hardball.  All this taking the higher ground stuff is nonsense.  When political opponents come after you and your team members, you take them out.  You give them back everything they’ve given you and more.  And for what they did to Trump, they all deserve a good beating, everyone from Chuck Schumer to Fetterman.  They are disgraceful, and they don’t care even to be caught.  They have lied to our faces, jailed our supporters, and deliberately tried to take out our representative in the Executive Branch.  They are fair game for the worst we can do to them because they’ll do it again if we don’t.  It’s not like we are waiting for them to punch us in the mouth.  They already have done it.  They wanted a fight, they picked it.  And their aggression has been what it was because they think Republicans won’t fight back.  They believe Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals tells them so based on his history of studying mob behavior.  This is a government mob, and there is only one form of expression they understand: force.  Force for the sake of power to eradicate our political enemies.  In the end, there should be so little left of them that they won’t even exist well enough to have a Netflix account. 

So don’t cry for them. They did all this to themselves.  They chose to live the way they do and to break all the many crimes they have committed.  Republicans can’t just talk tough; they have to be tough.  And they have to earn respect.  Democrats need to fear Republicans, starting with a history of follow-through.  Democrats don’t respect Mitch McConnell or Kevin McCarthy, who is just being friends with people like Marjorie Taylor Green so that she can be controlled within the Freedom Movement.  McCarthy wouldn’t even speak to people like Margorie if not for that.  These are professional con artists, many of them who are drawn to government work because it’s a target-rich environment.  There is only one political calculation to consider regarding impeachment: the cost of not doing it when it’s so apparent that Joe Biden should be impeached.  We get criminals like Joe Biden because too many people in the past let him bully them into submission.  And he has brought a disgrace to our senate and Executive Branch.  Why do you think they want to drop the dress code in the Senate? Because they are trying to destroy it.  Not sustain it.  And do you think they care about integrity?  They are inspired to break the law because they want to overwhelm the law and destroy it and the country with it.  It’s too late to save them or to work with them in a bipartisan way.  Democrats declared war on America long ago, but people have been too slow to recognize it.  And that has empowered these domestic enemies to do their worst, and they have.  These are all the reasons and more that we must not only impeach Joe Biden but all those like him who have abused their offices at the expense of the public.  And to make it very painful in the process.

Why Not Lynda and Isaac: I’d rather vote for Democrats because at least you know what you are getting

It has not been very pleasant. I have been traveling a lot across the world, and at each airport stop once arriving back into cell phone coverage, I have been flooded with text messages and calls wondering why I still defend the Lakota school board member Darbi Boddy and do not have the same kind of sympathy with current school board president, Lynda O” Conner, and member Isaac Adi. I understand the concerns, but neither Lynda nor Isaac are conservatives, and you know what I always say. I love all Republicans until they show me that they aren’t. There isn’t a situation where Lynda and Isaac give the illusion of a conservative school board. At the point I’m at now, I’d instead remove the illusion and let the Democrats have it so we can hang them on all the problems later. Playing this game with Lynda and Isaac is lying to ourselves, and I see no point in doing it. All it does is cause further brand damage to the Butler County Republican Party brand. My view on these silly disputes is that they are small-minded, who in their right mind cares about power on the school board except for people who don’t bring much value to anything else in their lives. Watching what Lynda has been willing to do to achieve such silly power has disappointed me. The school board is a part-time gig at best. It should never generate the kind of political games from Lynda’s camp, and I cannot support her or those propping her up. I have given them a chance. I’ve worked with Lynda, and that picture Isaac Adi has with Jim Jorden is one that I took. I have tried to help all of these people. But only one hasn’t lied to me, at least that I know of yet. And that is Darbi Boddy. The rest of them have been horrendous, and if that’s the best we get, we might as well vote for Democrats.

This coming from a guy whose son was sentenced to life in jail for pedophilia.

I’ve heard a thousand times, that Darbi lied to everyone during the vetting process, and represented herself as a calm, collective, friendly person willing to play ball. I’ve heard from even friends of hers that Darbi engages in personal outbursts and is very aggressive. I had experience with Darbi before she was elected, and I have had several complex discussions with her since; I can say that she has always been honest, even very Christian, much more so than I initially thought. She has values and she defends them. And she has never been crazy or violent around me, and maybe she had a right to be. I always liked Darbi Boddy, but I like her much more now after two years in office than I did the year leading up to the election where she and Isaac ran together as an endorsed Republican Party ticket. Darbi has been my favorite among all the people I have dealt with on the Lakota school board over the last decades. I don’t think she misrepresented herself during the fundraising and campaign stage. I think what happened was that Lynda used her to get the vote for the school board president position then quickly turned against her when the mask debates were getting heavy during Darbi’s first month after being sworn in. And that betrayal hurt her, and it has only gotten worse since, not because of Darbi, but the behavior of the other school board members.

Showing they have control of power while real crimes are abundant without their attention

You might have heard in the news that Isaac Adi won his restraining order against Darbi Boddy in court, where Lynda was nearby blowing on the fire to help it burn. Lynda is the one who lied and misrepresented what she was up to. Isaac indeed misrepresented himself to me and I am excessively disappointed in him. Darbi has not disappointed me. Lynda has. Isaac has. And the rest of the characters fall somewhere along those lines. My policy in all things in life is that I’ll give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but once I find out you’ve lied to me, it’s over. And it’s over forever. There is no forgiveness. So that is why I still support Darbi Boddy but am very much against Isaac Adi and Lynda O’Conner. Everyone knows that I do not like Julie Shaffer, one of the other school board candidates. Despising her is a more accurate term. I would vote for her before I would Lynda O’Conner because I think Julie is more honest, and at least I know what kind of Democrat radical I am dealing with. They all register as Republicans, but their actions always tell the truth about them. After watching that mess, which likely will be overturned on appeal, the protective order against Darbi from Isaac because his little feelings have been hurt by how aggressive she is, I’m willing to call it a day on the whole election for the Lakota school board. Think how absurd all this is; Sheriff Jones is threatening to arrest Darbi to help his buddies on the school board when he can’t even arrest all the people showing an interest in abusing children which caused all this trouble to begin with. All those who have helped Lynda will have to learn a hard lesson. Don’t call me because I will tell you I told you so. Out of all these characters the only one who has consistently told me the truth has been Darbi, which is why I still support her and have nice things to say about her. She has been very respectful to me, my wife, and conservative politics. And that is supposed to be what we are all fighting for.

Hey, everyone only has themselves to blame. Around 20 great young people wanted to run for political office, and the Republican party could have gotten younger with fresh people with long shelf lives.  What will Lynda do? Give Butler County 4 more years, of what?  And will Isaac be the future of the Butler County Republican Party?  He’s getting restraining orders against women!  People like Darbi make people want to go out and vote Republican, and several people like her would be good.  However, the Party decided to pick controlled assets they felt more comfortable with rather than people who would make the party better and represent the voters of Butler County.  Lynda and her gang have played the game of personal destruction and the damage left in the wake is her fault, and those who helped her along—trying to talk me into throwing Darbi in as an equal failure would be dishonest.  I think Darbi has every right to be upset at everyone who has been terrible to her.  People of value often find that their feelings get hurt, and she’s disappointed in other people.  Not the other way around.  With all that, it should be pretty simple why I support Darbi Boddy.  I would love to see a school board with four more like her.  But that won’t be the case this time around; Lynda is the one who went against the plan and misrepresented to everyone what she wanted.  And I’m not OK with that.  Darbi, in my experience, was a good person who was easy to work with until she was sabotaged with an effort a few months into her term to be removed from office.  And that kind of personal sabotage is just another form of election fraud.  The voters picked Darbi.  Lynda and others have worked to undo that election, and that is the worst of the worst in my book.  And why Darbi is not in the same boat as Lynda and Isaac.  And why I support her and not them.

Isaac Adi Loses His Man Card: Despite modern woke rules, people are still people

So they have drug Judge Lyons into all this? I love the Judge, and there he was in court serving as the stooge for a failed political figure, as Lynda is calling in all the favors, hoping to turn back the tides of reality like some crazy old woman seeks the fountain of youth before the grip of old age seals her doom. These political gymnastics can’t hide the terrible report card at Lakota. Lynda was in charge, and it’s on her, which will be the subject of tomorrow. But for now, man cards are still crucial in the world, despite the attempt to use new woke rules to remove such judgments from society. Men and women still have expectations from each other that have been relevant for many thousands of years, even millions. And that was something an old friend of mine, who ran WLW radio then, used to enjoy during his Saturday radio show from 9 a.m. until 11. Back before there was ever a YouTube, through the Obama first term, I used to do a lot of talk radio all over the country, and I had a good relationship, especially with Clear Channel Radio, who ran WLW, specifically through Darryl Parks when he was the big man at the station, setting all their programming priorities. He and I had similar politics, so I was a frequent guest with him and many other Marconi award-winning personalities, and we had a good time having fun with forbidden early woke social rules. It would be woke politics that would have Clear Channel remove most of the conservative talent (Bill Cunningham is not a real conservative; he only plays one on the radio), and Parks eventually lost his title. But while he had it, we had a lot of fun and did a lot of good radio making fun of ridiculous things, such as woke policies, well before anybody even knew what they were. We would often exploit that trait on his radio show, and one of the most popular mechanisms we would employ was removing people’s man cards when they showed weak behavior in a public setting, especially men who were not standing up for traditional masculine attributes. We would talk about them on the air during his show to hundreds of thousands of people and remove their man cards as a shame for their lack of courage and strength when it was needed most.

So in that fabulous and influential tradition, we must bring back the removal of man cards when they show they do not deserve them, and that is certainly the case with Isaac Adi, the Lakota school board member who attempted to have court protection from fellow school board member, Darbi Boddy.  He and Darbi were at a conference in Florida and had several arguments, which isn’t unusual.  They ran for school board together and have turned out to be quite different politically.  It didn’t look that way at first, but since Isaac won his seat, he has essentially become much more liberal, whereas Darbi is still the conservative mom that she ran herself as.  But unlike regular politicians, Darbi didn’t say one thing and then show herself to be something else.  And that is what the establishment types call a lack of “professionalism” when politicians do what they say they will do with the naive assumption that they might be able to change anything. For most politicians, you throw populist opinions to the public to get them to vote for you.  Then you say other things to those who donate money to political campaigns.  But when you are in executive session with other politicians, you are all friends; you talk about Bill’s cat and Sarah’s new dress, and no matter who they are, Republicans and Democrats, you enjoy a kind of silent membership to the club.  Darbi was always the same person: the campaign Darbi, the fundraising Darbi, and the daily school board member.  So when efforts were led by Lynda O’Conner, a supposed conservative school board member, to get control of these two new school board members a few years ago, Isaac and Darbi, only Isaac listened.  Darbi remained independently conservative, and since then, Isaac and Darbi have had a very contentious relationship, and they argue frequently for obvious reasons. If it’s anybody’s fault for destroying their relationship, it’s Lynda O’Conner who did it.

According to court testimony on September 15, 2023, because of this incident, Isaac was admitted to a hospital for two nights and three days, and he had a medical bill as evidence. That says everything.

But the only time they’ve been violent, that type of thing was initiated by Isaac. At least two times, I know where Isaac has punched at cameras recording him, and it was women holding those cameras. Isaac has a temper and has expressed it openly. He likes to be in control, and when he feels he’s losing control, he turns to physical aggression. I never thought it was a big deal, but under the definition of harassment that he expressed to a court on September 15th, 2023, then the smeller is the feller in this case. He’s the guy in the elevator passing gas and then looking at everyone else as if it were their fault. So it is ironic that after that Florida trip for school board business, he went to the courts to file a petition against Darbi, citing that he did not feel safe around her and that she had been “bullying” him. And that she carries a gun and he doesn’t feel “safe.” Jiminy Christmas, that is not how men talk! I understand that Darbi is tough, and she has a powerful personality. I have been to the firing range with her and her husband, and I can report that she does know how to handle herself with a gun. But what world is Isaac living in? Everyone carries a weapon, or at least they should. It’s like saying that a woman has earrings. Carrying guns is a common social enterprise, so it should not have been a big deal to Isaac. But he went to the courts to seek protection from her, which was pretty embarrassing, and he felt he needed to. The judge denied the request, as should have been understood from the start. Isaac failed to present evidence that an ex parte order is necessary for his safety and protection from imminent danger.

They should have never tried to knock Darbi off the school board. They just keep digging themselves deeper and deeper.

All that might be fine in the legal world of court talk and political discourse.  And to say it’s a dysfunctional relationship doesn’t go deep enough to the true heart of the matter.  What is the purpose of these frequent confrontations?  It comes down to acceptance of honest public discourse, and what I find valuable about Darbi is that as a genuine representative of the community and an unpolished political figure, she is a good gauge of how people feel in the district.  Yet the political trend is to be one way in public and another in private, which is an inherently dishonest position, and that understanding has led to healthy conflict.  But if you are a man, you don’t run to the courts looking for protection, for the “state” to protect you.  You handle your battles and don’t seek government help to resolve them.  That is why Isaac Adi must lose his man card.  By the woke rules of the modern world, it’s OK for men to cry and be emotional.  And to be afraid of guns.  But by the fundamental laws of manhood, those are all reprehensible traits that women classicly find destructive and unattractive.  And I think Darbi’s primary source of disappointment, knowing her pretty well as I do, is that Isaac has shown himself to be everything but the kind and conservative person she ran with on the campaign.  Darbi never wanted to be a political figure in the traditional sense.  She just wanted to be on the school board to help kids get access to a better life.  And she has had no desire to become what Isaac has, and that anger spills over into their conversations.  The Lakota school board’s dysfunction started when Isaac attempted to remove Darbi from the school board with many other hostile people, led by Lynda O’Conner, literally the moment that Darbi gave her the critical vote to make her president.  So, who in their right mind would expect Darbi to get along with them at this late date or that she’d want to join hands under a banner of peace now?  She can only hope that she gets more people on the school board who are better representatives of the community to work with, and until then, she is just holding her nose, like many people are.  But compromising with people without integrity is not an option, or dealing with people who have lost their man cards.
