I’m Thinking of Getting a PhD: The mysterious Qesem Cave

I have been thinking a great deal about pursuing a PhD.  For me, it’s a debate of time; it’s hard for me to dedicate too much time to any one thing, and pursuing a PhD requires a significant amount of time in a specific field of study.  However, my reason for wanting to do it, and I think I will at some point regardless, is that I want to prove it can be done without losing your mind in the process.  I want to prove that if you look at the world with your face up against the glass, you can still see.  And I could do just that, and in the aftermath, I could be very dangerous.  However, typically, it costs around half a million dollars to pursue a PhD, and the time commitment is mind-numbing.  However, it could be fun if it were in a field that you enjoy. I want to pursue one in Bible Studies, Philosophy, or Archaeology because I am passionate about these topics and have many ideas on how to improve them for the betterment of human civilization.  But unfortunately, and this is just how things are in the living world, what you want to do and what you should, or could do, is not always the same.  And the skill that I am best at, which is specifically me, is consuming vast amounts of random information and solving problems outside the box.  And that is something I wouldn’t be able to do if I had my face too close to the glass for an extended period.  My reasons for pursuing a PhD are not the traditional ones, but rather to demonstrate that one can be obtained despite the institutional problems in the process.

The best example of this is in Qesem Cave, a topic I first learned about while reading my favorite magazine in the world, the November/December 2007 edition of Biblical Archaeology Review, which was available in print at the time.  Later, in December, I noticed a brief online article about Qesem Cave that had not been included in the print edition, and I thought it was astonishing.  Here, a cave was discovered just outside Tel Aviv, Israel, and about an hour’s drive to the west of Jerusalem, that had human habitation 420,000 years ago.  The cave was discovered while building a highway connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the interior, and its existence was entirely a matter of happenstance, which I found alarming.  How many Qesem Caves were there in the world just waiting to be discovered, just short of the surface of the earth?  And the answer is an astonishing amount that we are just starting to wrap our heads around, especially in hostile zones like China, Russia, and all over the Middle East.  However, this discovery was so unusual and difficult to categorize that even in an archaeology magazine that typically reports on such issues, they weren’t quite sure what to say about it.  Because it didn’t fit any previous assumptions about the region.  And even then, it took seven years from its discovery for the world to learn about it.  And since then, it has been researched a bit here and there up to 2016.  However, much of the work has been relatively small in scope because the discovery process is overly bureaucratic and detrimentally procedural.  The most intelligent people on the planet who could study these kinds of things were too tied up in peer review commentary to even begin to think of something that was not within the box of their specialized fields of study. 

But Qesem Cave proves something I had long been thinking about in the specific region of the Bible lands.  I believe there was a very good reason why Abraham was instructed to sacrifice Isaac at the location he did, and that the Holy of Holies was situated where it was.  And that the skull of the first human ever, Adam, was buried in a cave under the site where Jesus was crucified.  Academics with their face up against the glass write off such stories as fictional apocrypha, but I think the desire to write such stories such as in The Book of the Cave of Treasures is because under modern Jerusalem is an ancient system of caves that were always there, and that Yahweh was very angry at the Canaanite culture which resided there for many hundreds of thousands of years, well outside our accepted timeline for the flood stories and evolution of the Biblical characters.  I tend to think that the story of Genesis compresses millions of years into the arrival of Abraham, allowing the plot of the Bible to begin.  And that its reference points reach too deep in the past to connect to historical anchors.  And Qesem Cave proves this to be true, not just because humans were using it as shelter from the outside world and the elements, but also because they were practicing shamanic practices there, which would be the oldest spot in the world where such activity was observed.  I think it’s just the tip of the iceberg.  And that the world is filled with such places.  However, the Holy Land is so well-documented that a discovery like this can’t be ignored in any historical discussion. 

Inside the cave were elements of apparent ritual activity using swan wings to mimic shamanic spirit flight while under the influence of hallucinogens, which the current argument is the foundation of all religious belief, the deliberate attempt for people to reach across known perception and talk to spiritual entities to assist with daily life.  And biblically, we have people talking to what they think is God a lot.  Qesem Cave reveals that this kind of practice has been ongoing for a much more extended period than previously understood.  And for me, that’s a big deal, which is why I’m considering getting a PhD.  I want to prove that you can achieve this without compromising your ability to think critically when new information is introduced.  As I am, I excel at solving complex problems because my knowledge base is extensive.  However, academia is designed against the broad acquisition of knowledge and is structured to be too specific, making it difficult to incorporate new information and advance understanding.  And that’s why Qesem Cave has been so little explored, and why the Indian mounds of North America, and the world, get so little attention, because they don’t fit a narrative that academics have staked a stake in, and many PhD papers were written.  I think the best and only way to shatter that assumption is to undertake one myself, so that I can conduct my thesis on the shortcomings of the current PhD process.  We should encourage people to think primarily about multiple matters, rather than focusing on a limited vantage point, and then make the process so complicated that, once you survive it, you are changed forever by the experience.  I interact with many people who hold advanced degrees every day, and I would say I know more of them than most people do.  And I like them, but they all share the same problem: they think too specifically and do not think large enough to deal with the vast world of knowledge that we have yet to unlock.  And in the process, they are often paralyzed by the procedure and cannot see the obvious.  And that is precisely what Qesem Cave, which I think is one of the most incredible discoveries in the world, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt.  And what is both scary and delightful is that it’s just the beginning.  As far as me getting a PhD, I would like to get to a point in my life where I could take a few years and just think about the things I enjoy thinking about.  It would be fun, and I could do a lot of good things with it.  I may not be at that stage in my life now, but if and when I could, I think I would.

Trump’s West Point Speech: Its all about gaining “momentum” in life

I thought Trump’s speech to West Point for their commencement was remarkable and not discussed enough.  The theme of the entire speech was momentum, which was excellent advice that you usually don’t hear coming from a President of the United States, nor do you hear such a thing discussed at any military academy.  Military endeavors, like political experiences, are typically about conformance to a static norm.  Not gaining momentum in life by challenging that static order.  And as examples of capturing momentum in life, Trump mentioned military figures like Billy Mitchell, who was court-martialed and forced into retirement for insisting that the army adopt aerial strategies that utilized the airplane.  Trump mentioned Patten and others who openly challenged the static norms of their day to gain strategic momentum for a tactical advantage, which was excellent advice.  As he was speaking, I thought of the way the great Claire Lee Chennault, the leader of the Flying Tigers, was treated by the military.  There is a long history of clashes between inside-the-box thinking and challengers from the outside.  Yet what is being celebrated at any graduation ceremony is conformance.  The school you are graduating from sets up rules you must learn and comply with, and if you successfully do so, you get a paper from them saying you graduated, and that the world can trust you to play by the rules that are set up.  That’s what employers think they are looking for when they hire people through their human resources department.  If they want a college graduate, they want someone who will follow the rules and not challenge them, and their graduation from an educational institution provides that proof.  However, instead of celebrating compliance, Trump was advocating for rebellion. 

Trump told the inspiring story, but with a sad ending, of William Levitt, who developed Levittown with his family’s company, Levitt & Sons, on Long Island from 1947 to 1951. This development defined the concept of a planned community that has been copied all over the United States ever since.  Bill Levitt was known for walking his building sites picking up nails to save money and pushing his teams to be very frugal on expenses, and Trump indicated that the key to the success of Levitt was his strong work ethic that captured momentum in life and that through that momentum, he achieved a lot of success.  However, Levitt found it challenging to sustain that momentum after achieving success, and by 1968, they were facing mounting debts and struggling to manage the company’s growth.  They got too far out over their skis and started failing with everything they worked on, leaving Levitt as a crumpled-up old man by the time Trump met him in the 1980s at a party with other very influential real estate developers.   Trump found him in the corner of the party of the big shots, sitting alone, with nobody talking to him.  And when President Trump spoke with him, Levitt told him regretfully that he had lost momentum in life and didn’t have it in him anymore, which is an unfortunate story, but it’s essential and motivational because of what it means to the human race.  Playing it safe is not the path to success.  Neither is doing what other people tell you.  Most people who experience the most tremendous success in life work very hard, take a lot of risks, and manage those risks with significant momentum, riding one success story to another with sheer force.  And if they lose their edge, they start to find all their projects failing. 

Remarkably, Trump discussed the momentum killers in life that impacted Bill Levitt, such as his three marriages, most of which were under the strain of collapsing financial circumstances, and the sale of Levitt & Sons to ITT in 1968 for $92 million.  Levitt had gone from that frugal construction site leader picking up nails to buying lavish mansions and purchasing a yacht.  Then, he moved to a house in southern France.  And he blew through his money quickly and wanted to get back into the game, but had to wait ten years due to a non-compete clause preventing him from developing any real estate in the U.S. until 1978.  And after this period, Levitt tried to make his comeback, but failed miserably, until he was the crumpled mess that Trump saw at the party of tycoons in New York City, broken and pushed aside.  And when Trump asked him what happened, the old man said that “he had lost his momentum.”  This was very valuable information for a group of graduating students from a military academy.  Not the kind of things they typically teach in places like West Point.  However, it is very accurate, and one of those topics we should study more.  And Trump would know.  His life had gone through many of those same types of momentum killers.  However, Trump, guided by his basic philosophy of the Power of Positive Thinking, never lost his momentum.  No matter how bad things got, Trump never stopped being that guy on a construction site who picked up nails.  And he always worked hard and long.  Sure, he married three times, but the women could wait until he was done with work for the day, long after most people go to bed.  Rising early and working until everyone else is sleeping is a great way to maintain momentum in life.

And that’s the point of Trump’s commencement speech to the graduates of West Point in 2025.  It’s one thing to bring in a motivational speaker who says these things, and many consultants out there talk a big game, but they don’t stick around long enough to fight through things and do real work.  The world is starving for these kinds of people who say lots of pretty words, but lack the work ethic to be on a job site picking up nails to save money.  I receive numerous offers to be one of those talkers.  But to Trump’s point, you have to do more than talk in life.  You must be genuinely successful, and one key to achieving this is maintaining momentum.  Not to get sidetracked with fancy boats and expensive vacations, or to live in a house in the south of France.  But to think out of the box and break the rules with an all-in bid to gain momentum.  And once you get it, to keep it, you must work harder than everyone else.  And not listening to the negative people who want to break your momentum so that they can compete with you.  Trump’s West Point speech was wonderfully anti-institutional to a group of people who were graduating from a very rigid institution.  The advice about success is one that few people ever realize in life, but Trump, as a President who had to overcome a lot to even be in that position, gave free advice that was worth many millions of dollars.  And it is valuable to anyone who listens, and it is the key to making America Great Again.  Greatness is not achieved by doing what people tell you to do.  It is achieved by capturing momentum and using it to achieve success where others fail, and avoiding challenges to momentum that might stop it and force people to be just like everyone else in life, stuck in the mud, and complaining that their life is meaningless.  Some people gain momentum in life for a short period, such as when they are teenagers moving out of their parents’ home.  Or as business leaders who happen upon a good thing.  But few people ever get it and maintain it.  And Trump’s advice to the West Point graduates was good in that it told them how to keep it so that their graduation ceremony wouldn’t be the best thing to ever happen to them, but rather, just the beginning of an extraordinary life to come.

Don’t Worry About the Moody’s Downgrade: A fight that has to happen

Don’t worry about the Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating.  Much of the problem starts with the Iranian apologist Mark Zandi and background anti-Trumpers like Warren Buffett using Berkshire Hathaway as a front for the story.  This is a game that has been ongoing in the background for a long time, and the concept is that you want them to want you.  Not where they want you to want them in the balance of power in a relationship, and the course Trump is taking with the American economy will force them to crawl like dogs into the Oval Office begging to be affiliated with the success story that is coming.  But for too long, a lot of weak, stupid people have groveled to these losers of finance who have giggled at the idea of American freedom in the background because they know they control everyone’s money.  And there has been peace, somewhat so, as long as the credit card works.  However, these are power-hungry entities, and this is a common strategy they employ in finance to exert control over domestic policy in favor of globalist intentions.  There are a lot of businesses that have been victims to just this kind of predatory lending and power struggle for control of those companies and what we are seeing applied to the Trump administration is a hatred for the America First policy of Trump and a refocus of their hatred for him and the MAGA movement in general.  The downgrade by Moody’s is not a surprise, and the result will be similar to everything the Never Trumpers have tried to do to Trump and those who support him.  They are attempting to regain control of the world, utilizing traditional financial tactics to achieve this.  And those tricks are baked into the system as it was built. 

This behavior from finance, not just by Moody’s but around the world, is a communist playbook that is precisely how China was set up as a communist country, propped up by these same financial, international monsters.  Their tongue-in-cheek statements about how countries should be run are that people can beat on their chest and declare independence all they want, but it would be central banking that would control people and their lives.  Like fish, they lure people into buying into their credit controls with the bait of easy money, then they snare them with a deep hook, allowing them to control every aspect of their lives.  And they make a lot of money from the debt of the countries to which they have loaned money.  And they believe that control has given them considerable power to override domestic policy on all fronts.  So they use credit ratings to control behavior.  It’s just another variation of the Chinese social media score.  If you exhibit behavior that the government dislikes, they will restrict your access to funds, which in a world where everything is paid for by credit card, could be devastating.  Which is why it has been set up that way, to get everyone addicted to easy cash at a low rate, so they could establish a deep-seated control hook in everyone’s life to run every aspect of their life.  And don’t kid yourself, they mean to do just that.  It’s a power trip that has always been a problem.  They are not our friends, these tyrants who work in finance.  They delude themselves about their actual value, and this impasse was always inevitable.  It has taken this long for a President to occupy the White House who truly represents the needs of the people, as the republic was designed. 

Moody’s cited the growing national debt, with projections exceeding $36 trillion, as one of its reasons, after it became apparent that Trump’s proposed budget would pass through Congress.  They also cited persistent fiscal deficits that are expected to worsen as government spending is outpacing revenue.  This is a shot at Trump’s tax cuts, aimed at extending the tax cuts from his previous term.  Moody’s people want more taxes on individuals, as they are unhappy about the lack of revenue.  They also don’t like that Trump plans to recover revenue by shifting it to tariffs, which has taken advantage of America’s economic power by reallocating wealth around the world to socialist and communist countries with unearned merit.  Moody’s wants that practice of unfairness to benefit them because globalism has set that system up to their advantage.  Moody’s also indicated that rising interest rates are crowding out other fiscal priorities.  However, those rates are directly tied to the Federal Reserve, which has painted itself into a corner with currency manipulation that it had counted on going in an entirely different direction.  Entitlement spending is expected to increase due to an aging population that lacks a sufficient birthrate to support the next generation, thereby requiring additional funding.  Most of what Moody’s indicated as justification for the downgrade are fears of what might happen.  But not so disguised is a hatred for Trump’s domestic policies that turn the power of the American economy back into a nationalist system that runs counter to all the manipulations of globalism have enacted to control all countries through fiscal policy.  It is the same communist controls they have in China and North Korea, even in Iran, where Marxism runs in the background of everything they do.  And in America, that was always the fate they intended for us, and they are angry that we aren’t doing what they expected us to do.

This fight goes back to even before the Presidency of Andrew Jackson, who I think was one of America’s greatest presidents.  The battle with the banks needed to happen, and all this time, there has been a kind of stalemate.  But in the finance industry, if you have had to work with them, there is an obvious power struggle that laughs at the Constitution and the premise that people can run themselves as a government.  Moody’s downgrade is essentially a social credit score designed to put pressure on Americans to comply with international expectations.  But Trump knows how to play this poker game, which essentially is what it is.  And the power of the American economy will force Moody’s to retract its position; it won’t be able to draw a hard line in the sand, as it hopes.  Because they will have a business need to affiliate themselves with success, don’t give a second thought to the Moody’s downgrade.  Those losers will have egg on their face in a much-deserved way for their pro-Communist China affiliation.  But remember that China would be nowhere if not for the money that has been stolen from the United States to prop it up as a communist state and example of the kind of government that central finance, with the option of a digital currency, always wanted.  They wanted to destroy the dollar, destroy American capitalism, and buy up all the debt so they could control all domestic policy around the world.  What these big banks have been doing is nothing short of a military incursion.  And they were out for blood, and Trump is taking all that away from them.  They are losing control, and all they have left is a downgrade to our credit rating.  But when you gain control of your economy so that revenue surpasses their fears, that power returns to the people who run the country.  And those banks and credit agencies will be forced to grovel at our feet.  And when they do, we’ll make a footstool of their cheesy haircuts and golf shirts.  They are going to lose control and there is nothing they can do to stop it.

The Underwear Gnomes of Lakota Schools: Why do they have a COO

When it comes to waste, we are seeing a lot of that these days, and as we do, remember that public schools are nothing but free babysitting services for busy parents, paid for by taxpayers to support radical labor union structures that are politically dangerous to any healthy society. So there is a cost to that free babysitting service.  Sure, both parents might work to buy things that might impress their neighbors, who are doing the same to try to impress them. In the end, everyone ends up miserable, and the next generation of kids gets all messed up in the process.  And while all that is going on, a bunch of really dumb people with access to over a quarter of a billion dollar budgets fumble around like the three stooges, making mistakes with every step, and try to cover it all up at school board meetings as if they are masters of the universe.  And that is the real problem with the leaked discussions about Chris Passarge, the Chief Operations Officer at Lakota schools, and some money that mysteriously disappeared due to his alleged mismanagement of $64,000.  I have heard several people tell me this story, which the media hasn’t reported on, and likely won’t, as it is under investigation at the large, northern Cincinnati public school.  And my first reaction to it was, why does Lakota Schools have a COO?  Their entire business model is the Underwear Gnome endeavor from the popular cartoon South Park.  They collect money from taxpayers; they throw it into a big basket.  Then the labor union pays itself enormous amounts of money and goes on summer-long vacations.  And when it’s all gone, they ask for more.  Why is there a need for a COO?  And while the people were telling me this story, I kept thinking that $64K is a lot of money to you or me.  But in proportion to these public school budgets, like Lakota’s, it’s a slight drop in a vast ocean, and many administrators take advantage of the system, siphoning money off the top.  We receive reports frequently from people who are, or were, married to these individuals, and numerous free vacations often result from those positions.  It’s not too hard to figure out where that money went.

I have a long-standing interest in this topic. Years ago, I was one of the key individuals featured in an I-Team Report for Channel 9.  They used to hear me on WLW radio all the time talking about these issues, and they conducted a thorough investigation into one of my pet peeves: the issue of whether school superintendents were equal to private sector CEOs, which I thought was laughable.  John Kasich was the governor of Ohio at the time, and we did a whole segment with the I-Team on how most of Ohio’s biggest schools had superintendents who were being paid significantly more than the governor of Ohio, and for what?  I knew a lot then and know a lot more now. Many CEOs and COOs, as well as other types of leadership designations from the private sector, were doing things that were a lot more valuable as to those in public schools.  I had done all this well before Trump was in office, and I went through all the things he did now, which I had already experienced back in 2010 through 2012. Over time, I learned who I could trust at these news organizations and who I couldn’t.  Eventually, I created my own media because there were so many hooks into the public schools that depended on easy money, making it difficult to trust anyone. As a result, I stepped away from doing so much radio and television, as my blog proved to be much more effective. 

But this recent Lakota story regarding Chris Passarge being under investigation wasn’t surprising at all.  It was outrageous to this newer generation of parents telling me about it because this is all new to them.  I’ve observed this over a long period, and what I find most shocking is that these individuals continue to give themselves titles like CEO, COO, and CFO.  All these public schools are just playing house and pretending to be kids, living in a grown-up world.  They are playing with plastic food and pretending to work fake checkout lines in their parents’ basement.  There is no effective management of public schools, and all the money taken from taxpayers is wasted on unnecessary expenses.  It’s a ridiculous scam that people are too busy to pay attention to, but that’s all the public education experience is, and I can say that from years of experience.  This story with the Lakota COO is no different than the South Park story of the Underwear Gnomes, where little people would break into people’s houses to steal their underwear in the middle of the night.  The South Park kids wanted to find out why the Gnomes were doing this, so they followed them one night to a tree deep in the woods and caught the little creatures red-handed.  It was at that point that the Gnomes explained their business model, which is essentially the same as what Lakota schools provides at school board meetings when they try to explain a budget of over $250 million. 

The Gnomes’ business model was to steal underwear.  Their step two was a mystery to them.  They had collected piles of underwear, but it was still stacked in the tree waiting for something to happen that would make them a lot of money.  However, they had step three all worked out; their goal was to make a profit.  Everything was great; they were happy stealing underwear and storing it in their tree.  And they knew they wanted to make a lot of money.  However, they had no idea how to complete the middle part, specifically the step 2 portion of their business plan.  And that is precisely what Lakota school administrators are like.  It’s not a surprise at all that Chris Passarge could lose such a large amount of money.  What is most surprising to me is that they refer to him as a COO.  He’s just a tax looter stealing money from the public and distributing it to a bunch of government employees who want an easy living, grooming children into liberal politics.  And if a free vacation to some Bahamas cruise comes out of it, with a cover story of being an “education conference” is where that $64K went, it would not at all be surprising.  And the media doesn’t cover the story because they have kids and drop them off at these schools while they run around the city covering every cat that gets stuck in a tree, so they can buy a new car and impress some nosy neighbor, who is equally worthless.  But they want to think that Chris Passarge knows what he’s doing.  But he doesn’t.  None of them do, that’s why they work in government schools, they are all Underwear Gnomes pretending to be enterprising public servants.  But what they are, are small-minded pretenders playing house with taxpayer money, and hoping that nobody notices that they have no plan, but to steal money, put it into a bank account, and then give it to unionized employees for work nowhere near good enough.  And they call that public education.  However, the Underwear Gnomes refer to it as making a “profit.”

I Feel Sorry for Elon Musk: CEOs build culture, and are extremely important

I do feel sorry for Elon Musk. I would say to him, the government is a very negative experience, full of losers.  And that fixing it will take a lot more work than he can give in short spurts.  People who choose to work for the government are quite different from those drawn to the private sector.  Government is filled with entitled losers who want to make a lot of money off taxpayers without the risk of earning it themselves.  Therefore, it will require significant reform, which is just getting started with the Trump administration.  But it will take decades to unwind the mess that has been given to us.  And I can see that Elon Musk began his DOGE campaign with a lot of bright ideas.  But making the cuts permanent that he has identified isn’t as easy as it would be at one of his companies.  The government is full of parasites, and you have to play the long game with them.  Elon Musk can do the world a great deal of good if he focuses on what made him great to begin with.  He needs to be back at SpaceX every day, sending Starships into space every three weeks.  It has been evident that he has been absent from those companies; they have been experiencing a decline.  The job of a CEO is often not well-defined; they create the culture.  It’s not the work they do but the culture they make in their wake.  And SpaceX has slipped significantly since Elon has been frequenting the White House daily since Trump’s return to office.  It will take more than CEO stunts to save the government.  However, some business success on the frontier of innovation is the best way that Elon Musk can make the world a better place and establish a civilization to save by going to Mars. 

I thought it was astonishingly short-sighted for Disney-run ABC to characterize the Starship 9 mission that launched this past week as a series of failed missions.  The process SpaceX uses for data collection involves launching these Starships to see what works and what doesn’t, so that every configuration of the problem can be witnessed and designed, modified in real-time.  Drawing on extensive experience with this very issue in the aerospace industry, the world is fundamentally flawed in its approach to manufacturing processes.  And SpaceX has taken a noticeably different approach, one that is much more akin to the Skunkworks at Lockheed Martin many years ago.  The world has learned the wrong lessons and incorporated them into its management systems, and the entire industry is in desperate need of an overhaul.  And if Elon Musk wants to change and save the world, he can do it most effectively with Tesla and SpaceX.  The big secret is that you can’t put engineers in a room and get everything right the first time, which is the assumption in aerospace that began with NASA and the need to avoid any accidents that would become public relations nightmares.  When you can automate flights, you can afford to have launches to measure cause and effect, and approach the whole process of technology development much more aggressively.  Even though Starship 9, which launched at the end of May 2025, burned up during re-entry, as did the booster rocket, much of what SpaceX needed to achieve was successful, leading to the technical adjustments that need to be made at the engineering level. 

However, the way the industry operates now is very risk-averse, and, of course, the least risky thing to do is to do nothing, which is why things are so slow in aerospace and why cost overruns are so common.  And when ABC says that the previous SpaceX missions were failures, they are speaking from the vantage point of the administrative state —the kind of world that the government has created for us, with over-regulation and a world shaped by insurance industry lobbyists.  From that world, exploding Starships are a bad thing.  For the innovative SpaceX world, they provide a lot of information, and when you look at the rate of innovation that is needed to build Starships, you need to collect a lot of data to get repeatability outside of engineering tolerances, because until you see all those inventions working together, there is no way to know how stable a process is.  When it came to the NASA approach, you get lucky with a design and then never deviate from it, fearing the unknown, and that is essentially how they built the space program.  SpaceX is seeking complete, automated redundancy that remains reliable after thousands of trips.  To achieve that, SpaceX needs to be launching a new Starship every week, which is why Elon Musk has been so crucial.  Since he has been at the White House, doing good work that often goes unappreciated, SpaceX has been addressing engine bay leaks that have compromised spaceflight, and the Starships have been exploding.  Not a great way to have a space program.  However, the best thing about this most recent Starship 9 mission was that much of it had become so commonplace now.  The Starship was able to undergo stage separation and space flight, solving many of the problems it previously had, so now the other lingering issues can be addressed. 

The best engineering is to do things and fix things as you see problems emerge.  And for something as complicated as Starship, it will take Elon Musk to foster a productive culture among the many great people at SpaceX, guiding them toward corrective actions to address the numerous problems that must be solved for stable space flight.  It’s fantastic that we’ve had only 9 Starship missions and that they’ve made getting them into space so routine.  Now, getting re-entry right, with stable space flight, will be the key, and it will take a full-time Elon Musk to pull it off.  However, when it comes to cutting the deficit, given the current state of affairs, the first step in fixing the American economy is to achieve magnificent growth through new market sectors.  The SpaceX Starship is the best way to reach that point.  China, in their wildest imaginations, won’t be able to copy SpaceX, because they don’t have a person like Elon Musk to act as the CEO.  Just like other considerations of the administrative state, people cannot be swapped out.  Great people are irreplaceable; when they take vacations or are absent from work, things don’t run smoothly.  Exceptionalism comes from unique people.  Not process controls that allow losers in life to be just as good as winners.  Exceptionalism matters, and Elon Musk needs to stay on the cutting edge at SpaceX for it to continue its success.  And if he wants to save the world, he can do it best in the private sector.  DOGE will still be a good idea that will do good work.  But it’s going to be a slow boil.  What we need most is Starship, and missions going to space so routinely that people take it for granted, as usual.  And with the recent Starship 9 mission, that is becoming the standard.  Normal is launching the biggest rocket humanity has ever produced into space, routinely.  Now, getting it to do what we need it to do time and time again is the next challenge, which is very close to being completed.

Getting Rid of the Wolves of the World: The perfect family

It comes up because holidays traditionally are times when family and friends gather.  And this year, for many reasons, I received a lot of criticism from many people for my family-first approach.  And to be blunt about it, which I usually let slide because we only see some of these people for a few hours each year, this year a lot of vacant people were very critical of me.  But, as I mentioned regarding the new baby in my family, who is my fourth grandchild, there are many people who see happy and successful individuals and, by nature, want to associate with them by default.  However, I don’t like to see my immediate family exploited by people who invest a lot less in building good families. For me and the people in my immediate family, we put a lot of work into it every day.  Much more work than most typical families do.  My wife, for instance, will do anything for her family, or, to put it another way, for her immediate family, including her kids and grandkids, and even the spouses who come with them.  And I work like a madman to make sure that my wife can dedicate more than 100% of her life to that kind of endeavor because I think that is the most critical job in the world, being a loving, and dedicated mother and a patrilocal leader that the next generation can look up to, and emulate while nurturing their traits.  It’s pretty hilarious when people who don’t put in nearly the amount of work that we do insist on sharing my family with a bunch of derelicts who want pictures of everyone with them standing next to them for their Facebook profiles.  They want the looks of a happy family without doing the work.  Given our busy schedule, we often make decisions about this or that, and those who were left out of the process were upset and critical of me, which doesn’t fly.  This year, because we were so busy, we skipped one of the holiday events that had at the center of it a crazy lunatic who is on her fourth husband, has been getting and encouraging her kids to get tattoos, she smokes dope, and her husband is in jail for at least decades over sexual molestation.  And that idiot wants to be in a picture with my wife and kids just to call it a happy family?  I don’t think so.  We don’t waste our time on people like that for a good reason. 

I wouldn’t say I am not compassionate to people who have spent over 50 years making terrible decisions, and that they have to live in that bag of bones they call a body for the rest of their lives, I might feel a little sorry for them.  However, as the leader of my family, I put in the work at a level that I don’t see anybody else doing, and it shows.  For a good example, even though it’s something I consider private, I am posting a video of a recent ghost hunt my family did at Old Man’s Cave in Hocking Hills, Ohio.  I share it because I think of it as the perfect family environment for everyone involved, and we do things like this all the time.  Most people, like the person I described, and those around her, do not come close to building good families.  That train wreck of a person, my wife and I tried to help when she was younger.  She was always a mess, and she would take it out on her kids.  We’d tell her not to hit them in the head as a way to demean them when punishing them.  She took it personally and would be upset with our criticism, especially since it came from me.  And she has always tried to do the opposite of whatever I told her, purely out of spite.  So it’s no wonder now her life is such a disaster. 

However, choices have consequences in life, and many people no longer know what a good family is supposed to look like.  They don’t know what a good person is supposed to be, let alone a family full of them.  However, in my family, I would say that my wife and I put in significantly more effort to create a good family, and it shows.  And a lot of people who don’t put in all that work grab on to them like life rafts in a raging sea for their own benefit.  It might help them out, but it pulls down my kids, and I don’t like it, and I let people know about it.  So if they get upset, that’s fine.  I might write an article like this to explain it.  I wouldn’t say I don’t care at all, I at least care that much.  But you can’t bring people into a family setting like that broken person, with all the connections to her broken life, and expect everything to be okay.  You can have compassion for those who are broken.  But you can’t let their bad decisions cascade into the lives of people who still have a chance.  My policy is that if we are swamped, we prioritize social engagements where all the participants are genuinely engaged and have something to give back, rather than taking from us and leaving us feeling depleted for weeks afterward.  We avoid looters who only care about the pictures so they don’t feel like such failures in life.  But for my family, it’s like crawling through the mud only to find that there isn’t a shower at the end of it, and it’s hard to get clean.  We get nothing out of it but getting dirty.  And we don’t like getting dirty.

It’s not usually a problem worth talking about.  But this year, because we have a new baby in the family, and because of the holidays where people invite us to come, but we don’t, and they get mad about it, I get the blame for having standards that are too high for them to live up to.  They say that I am a super controller and that I keep my family hidden away on an island.  We don’t send our kids to public schools to interact with other delinquents, and since I’m the leader of the family, I get the blame.  But I say to them, don’t live bad lives and be a bad example to my kids and grandkids.  Yes, my kids are adults now and can make their own decisions about things.  But they care what Dad thinks, and I let them know the truth and the whole truth to help them make decisions.  And they usually make the right choices.  However, those who make a poor choice often become upset that I point out what a loser they are, and that I judge them, which, according to them, I shouldn’t.  And as said to me over the Memorial Day weekend of 2025, “Jesus said not to judge.”  And my comment was, “Well, that’s fine for Jesus.  But look what happened to him, they hung him on a cross and killed him.  That’s not going to happen to me.”  And ultimately, if you are leading a family, they count on you to be there for them at all times.  Not just to send text messages a few times a year and to show up for family pictures on holidays.  You can’t just appear to be a good person; you have to be one.  And you can’t use money to hide what garbage you are as a person, and expect people not to see it.  I see everything.  And I offer advice to help people have better lives.  And if they don’t listen, that’s on them.  But don’t expect me to open my doors to the wolves of the world.  My policy is to shoot them on site, because if left alone, they will eat all your children.  And that doesn’t make an outstanding leader in a family.  Some of the people who are most critical of me at this point in their lives let the wolves into their house.  And the consequences are obvious and can’t be undone now.  I can feel sorry for them.  But that doesn’t mean I have time to waste on them, especially if they showed me in the past that they won’t listen anyway.

To put to rest a popular misconception advocated by Hillary Clinton and other progressive, anti-family global communists, it doesn’t take a village to raise a family. It takes two parents, a man and a woman, who are long-married and keep as many corrosive elements from social decay away from the growing minds of children. And encourages the adults to live happy, and healthy lives. And the village can’t do that. Only strong parents and great examples can. If left to society as a whole, it will destroy all in its path, 100% of the time. In nature, life consumes life, and society will sacrifice your children to the chaos of the universe. Stopping that process is an intellectual decision, that only humans seem capable of performing. Which allows a person to grow in ways that otherwise, would never be possible.

The Reality of P Diddy’s Freak Offs: A society of porn addicition that has lost its moral compass

Regarding the P Diddy trial and the preponderance of guilt he’s associated with, the testimony is almost precisely what we have seen from public school superintendent cases, which should be disturbing for everyone.  And before I get into this I need to remind everyone of something that happened over twenty-five years ago, when I cancelled an in studio interview with Bill Cunningham on 700 WLW radio making his producers very angry with me because of his Friday night sex shows where he would bring in local strippers and have them undress completely naked and party in the studio.  As a conservative radio shock jock at that time he was going for ratings gold and trying to mimic locally in Cincinnati what Howard Stern was doing with his radio show in New York, and I wasn’t about to be affiliated with him if Cunningham was going to cross the line like that.  I was a paid advertiser then and could not have my name associated with that behavior.  And the reason why is what we see now, all these years later, in the breakdown of society from top to bottom.  And also to point out that I have never been a supporter of that kind of pornographic behavior.  As a young, attractive couple, my wife and I have been offered countless opportunities to live the kind of life people are learning about with the Diddy trial, and unfortunately, it’s all too common.  And we said no to that life, where unfortunately, too many people have said yes, and dipped their toe into that pool of trouble only to regret it later in ways people seldom ever think of beforehand.  So this is a long policy of mine, not something that I just developed yesterday because I have a deep love of history and building successful cultures and porn addiction is probably the worst thing a society could do to itself.  And it’s horrendously anti-family.  And I love family.  To go back to that Bill Cunningham incident, his producers at the time were very upset with me and said that I was much worse to deal with than the Citizens for Community Values conservatives who were constantly protesting Cunningham’s show, which I took as a badge of honor, and a major compliment, because all these years later, we see where it all leads. 

So, as disgusting as the testimony has been regarding the Freak Off parties that Diddy did, his relationship with the singer Cassie Ventura reminded me of Prince and Apollonia from the Purple Rain days.  It’s what happens when an influential person in the music industry gets access to a young girl and exploits her as a young woman trying to make it into the industry, which is filled with people exploiting each other.  But in these days of major porn addiction and access to it that is far too common, there was nothing to restrict Sean Comes exploiting the young Ventura for a very long period of her life, and grooming her to satisfy all his perverted fantasies that have been grotesque to say the least.  While there might be a primal fantasy to behave in all this public sex display, logic should guide everyone otherwise.  There is no way to build a positive relationship when sex is opened up to public consumption in such a pornographic way.  Couples have to draw the line somewhere and manage their sex lives with the kind of respect and discretion that accompanies everything in life.  What P Diddy put Cassie Ventura through, and the physical abuse that was well documented, is illegal in many regards.  But it doesn’t quite hold up to the federal charges of sex trafficking, as it could and would be prosecuted.  Hearing all these details reminded me almost exactly of the former Lakota schools superintendent, who acted similarly with his wife, dramatically abusing his relationship with her, which I came to know firsthand because she told me personally all about it.  Like Cassie Ventura, this superintendent’s wife moved on from him and remarried.  And once free of the abusive relationship, she was able to reflect on what happened to her and make a change.  Cassie Ventura was in the courtroom talking about all these horrendous sex practices with multiple partners and escorts peeing in her mouth, while being very pregnant.  All this testimony will be around when her baby is born, forever embarrassing her. 

Most couples, at least one of them, have regrets later once they bring other people into their sex lives.  But this isn’t unusual behavior based on my experience over the years.  It’s common. When we moved to prosecute the Lakota superintendent, he had no idea why people were so upset with his lifestyle when it involved he and his wife, because his mind was so gone from a social acceptance of porn addiction that as a superintendent of a public school, he couldn’t tell right from wrong anymore.  And to the point of prosecutors I talk to about this case, bad decisions aren’t illegal.  And not everyone believes in God, or being right or wrong.  But they should be.  And that is undoubtedly the result of the P Diddy trial.  There were lots of A List actors involved in the P Diddy parties, but it doesn’t sound like they participated in the Freak Off sessions.  That those were known to everyone, but that they were separate things P Diddy did as part of his porn addiction and had the power and money over others to do as much as he wanted, no matter who got hurt in the process. 

The point of the matter is that much of P Diddy’s behavior wasn’t necessarily illegal.  It was highly abusive and is the result of a society that has let extreme evil in the form of primitive sex practices into their lives and perpetuated an extreme decline in social behavior that leads to a collapse of all society.  But I would say the same thing to Bill Belichick with his breakup of his marriage, then his sexual obsession with a 24-year-old girl, Jordon Hudson. What is he thinking?  There is nothing good that can come from that relationship except sex, which is as empty a gift as there ever was.  It’s a biological trick that logic should always override.  It’s meant for young people to have babies.  Not to turn into a degradation of the human experience.  And once you start peeing in each other’s mouths, in full view of everyone else, you are no better than a dog licking the ass of another dog.  You’ve lost your humanity by embracing a surrender to nature and its yearning to crush the individual spirit of life’s inhabitants.  And at what cost, nobody will ever look at Bill Belichick again and think of him as a “smart coach.”  Because everyone knows what a bad idea it is for a 73-year-old man to hang around with a 23-year-old kid, nothing is innovative or logical about it.  Yet we produce in society the impression that sexual perversion is ok and natural.  And that we should yield to our animal instincts at all times. Which, of course, is a horrendously bad idea.  As a society, we should have better values than what we do.  P Diddy is a celebrity because we approve of his behavior, which everyone knows about.  And he’s far from alone; he is pretty standard, and you don’t have to look too far to find a lot more of it.  In the case of my local community school, we experienced this same kind of sexual deviancy from the school superintendent, and not nearly enough people were outraged about it.  Because they were just as guilty, if they weren’t doing it themselves, they were thinking about it, and couldn’t throw stones in the glass house they were also living in.  And that is a massive part of the problem.

I Understand Why Warren Davidson Voted No: Going all in for America’s economic prosperity

I’m happy that Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill passed the House and is headed for the Senate with just enough votes.  But I’m also excited to see that Warren Davidson, my congressman, voted no on it, as did Thomas Massie.  I understand the push from Trump to get complete unity on the House votes, and that stragglers and rebels send a bad message to whip up votes, because there is still more work to do in the Senate.  This bill is necessary for Trump to fulfill his second-term promises, and it is risky to pay for prosperity with massive additions to the debt.  Trump was close to pulling this off successfully during his first term in that last year, but the Covid shutdowns proved to be a strategic disaster in that it opened the door for Trump’s additions to the national debt to spiral out of control once Biden was put in office and things went off the rails.  I have been telling people for many years what Trump would do once he returned to the White House, which was best said in his book, The Art of the Comeback.  That is an excellent book that I recommend everyone read for themselves.  It is common for businesspeople to gamble big with debt to pull off a jackpot return.  If you’ve ever played poker or Blackjack, it’s the same rules, but this is what Trump was hired for by the American people and he needs this Big Beautiful Bill to pull it off, which makes the 2017 Tax Cuts permanent and puts forward the Jobs act, and introduces eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay, car loan interest, addresses border security, energy policy and spending cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.  But it also raises the debt ceiling by 4 trillion dollars, and it is at that point, Warren Davidson became a no vote. 

If I were in Warren’s shoes, and I’ll tell him when I see him next, I would have voted the same way he did.  It means you probably won’t get invited to the next White House event, but so what?  Right is right, and Warren Davidson, just as Thomas Massie and Rand Paul in the Senate, represent an area of Ohio and Kentucky that is done with government overreach.  So they represent the kind of people in those regions well, and no amount of whipping the votes will change that.  I don’t think Warren cares about a primary.  He’s been a congressman for a while and wants to do other things.  So if Trump gets mad at him, I think he will handle it.  It is risky business to fund prosperity with increased debt.  But, we did elect Trump to do exactly that, and if Trump wins his hand, which I think he will, America will see unheard of prosperity.  And it will happen fast.  But to pull it off, America will have to become the world’s dominant economy for the next twenty years, and that is indeed Trump’s intention.  By the time this bill passes the Senate, it will be midsummer, and that is why everything had to be put into that one bill, to get the Trump agenda off and going fast during that first year of his new term.  So that by the end of the year, and going into year 2, the economy will be red hot and people will see the benefits in their pocketbooks fast.  Playing it safe won’t get us there. 

We shouldn’t be in this situation; to Warren’s point, government spending should be much less.  We can’t trust some future Congress to be responsible and to do the right thing once Trump gets the economy moving in the right direction, after so many years of neglect.  Warren could have voted yes like everyone else to support Trump, but in his district in Ohio, people would have held it against him.  And he is supposed to represent the people, not to be strong-armed by Trump’s White House.  So it’s pretty tricky business to support something without supporting it.  But they had the votes, and Warren needed his name on the right side of history to remind future congressional people that we must return to cutting government spending very shortly.  But, to Trump’s point, as a business executive who has done this many times in his past, you can’t cut off your nose to spite your face, as many have done over the years to themselves.  Without realizing that they were doing it until it was too late.  I think it will take J.D. Vance to break the tying vote to pass the bill in the Senate.  There will be some theatrics, which Trump is trying to contain vigilantly, because he has put this on his back to deliver personally.  Trump knows how to work the executive ropes, which is why he’s so effective in the world, and I am confident that his vision for massive economic expansion to cover the increased debt burden will work.  At this point, the debt is so bad that it will take bold bets to recover a jackpot. Otherwise, there will be no chance to get out of it. We are in an all-or-nothing situation.

And to answer the question people in the media are asking about the checks on power, it had to be Trump.  The value of human capital is a currency not very well understood by the world, but it does emerge in business here and there.  Consultants try to capture the essence of human capital, but it comes down to personalities and how much people want access to them.  Trump has built his brand so that people want to know him; they want their picture next to him, and Trump is using that power to drive a narrative in ways that few others in the world could.  That’s why he can step into any negotiation in the world and have a positive impact.  I’ve read all of Trump’s books, many times, and I don’t think even he understands how that type of personality is developed in business.  Only that it is forged there; once a person has it, they can turn everything into gold.  I was playing Blackjack the other night and thinking about this very problem.  Trump is making big bets on this Bill, and using all the human capital he has built over the years to pull it off.  And with Warren’s vote he is saying, essentially that he has enough pictures with the President.  That he’s ready to move on and do something else, and while the lights are on him, he wants to remind people that fiscal spending needs to be pulled in once Trump is gone.  And this vote for him is a letter in a bottle he hopes gets found and acted upon shortly.  But first, Trump knows he has to place the big bets on 21.  And he has to force his way to beat the dealer.  And it’s not a win for him, but for America in one of the most spectacular political maneuvers the world has ever seen.  And we have to remember that we elected Trump to make this bet for us, and to play this game at this level, because it is all or nothing, literally.

The Hard Costs of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill: Healthcare costs too much and does all the wrong things

As President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill passes through its steps, with budget hawks jumping rope with reality, it’s worth talking about some of our expectations on fixed cost maintenance, things that people have come to expect the government to provide, such as Social Security and Medicare.  I hate those programs; they were part of a growth of government that started essentially in the 1930s and has communist sweat dripping from them in horrible ways.  I’d rather have the money that goes into Social Security to invest myself because the government doesn’t do a good job of making money.  And the cost of health is horrendously out of control, so throwing more bad money at a bad system is just ridiculous, with Medicaid expansion as has been done over the years, especially in reaction to Obamacare, the takeover of a fifth of our national economy.  Unfortunately, healthcare is directly attached to big government, and it’s fair to say I despise it.  I have several family members who work in healthcare, and I try hard to keep my opinions to myself, for their sake.  But our meetings end with dramatic tension because I hate healthcare so much at its foundational principles.  Few things make me angrier than when someone gives me a doctor’s note for not attending their professional occupation, as if the doctor has some exclusive management rights over me.  In my family, the discussion of healthcare is a significant problem that sets me off like a bomb quickly.  And I try very hard to avoid confrontations for the sake of the people I care about.  But I think we should be performing regenerative medicine and not just maintaining declining conditions, which our entire healthcare costs are built around.  And ultimately, that’s where the costs are. 

I was reminded of just how much I hate the healthcare industry recently when one of my daughters was having her second baby, my fourth grandchild.  Of course, as she was having the baby, we gathered at the hospital to welcome the little girl into the world, and it was a generally happy occasion.  Most of the time, birthing is a happy time to go to the hospital, as opposed to all the other times, where someone you care about is stuck there over some physical health issue for which they seldom ever fully recover.  Our healthcare system is about maintaining declining conditions.  Where birth is about growth and opportunity.  So I hate hospitals.  I hate their parking lots.  I hate their receptionist desks, their elevators.  I hate their bathrooms.  I hate hospitals because they are primarily about declining conditions, where the authority over individual lives is surrendered to an administrative state.  So as we were parking to see our new grandchild, my eyes were wide awake to the massive costs associated with the social venture of a hospital culture.  It was a busy place full of people living off the healthcare industry.  And from where we are now, there is no good way to reform anything in healthcare because, in doing so, you would eliminate so many jobs where people serve some small, bureaucratic function in the managed decline of civilization.  What’s broken in our current model is our expectations of what healthcare is and what it should cost.  For our society, it’s one of the things we encourage our children to invest their lives in, like being lawyers, school teachers, and doctors.  We expect those are good, well-paying jobs, and deep down inside, we are committed to preserving them even if they aren’t the best way to approach the growth of a civilization.  So changing it would take a lot of time, gradually.  Not suddenly.

But the waste was evident to me everywhere as we visited our daughter, giving birth to a wonderful young grandchild with her whole life ahead of her.  I felt sorry, though, for all the people at the hospital stuck in that horrible system, either as employees or as victims of some health ailment that could easily be cured by regenerative medicine.  It was hard for me to listen to the conversations about the placenta disposal that were taking place as we welcomed a new baby into the world, because there are enough stem cells in that placenta to fix a lot of the people in the hospital of their health problems.  But fixing them would mean that many of the employees at the hospital would be out of a job, and essentially, a vast majority of our economy would be torpedoed.  So we are a long way away from fixing the horrible problem of healthcare, and Obamacare was never the answer.  But these days, even President Trump is taking credit for helping to keep the socialist approach to healthcare provided by the government somewhat functional, which means people have some medical coverage to throw at this ridiculously wasteful system of health maintenance.  It’s a two-problem condition, the system itself is built to keep people sick and employees employed.  And where the money comes from comes from sources outside of private insurance because the costs are so out of control that only the government can afford to sustain the ridiculous enterprise.  So our expectations of what medical care should be are at the heart of the problem, and we have come to look at the government as a way to keep us alive, which was the goal of communism all along.

President Trump has brought a lot of Democrats over into the GOP and made it a huge tent party.  So, to the budget hawks, trying to drive down the spending in this Big Beautiful Bill of Trump’s, this is a fight for another time.  We need to attack healthcare expectations before we can peel away funding for it, much like education debates.  We have to get the government out of education and healthcare before we can reform them and make these things better.  Because too many people are wrapped up in the system itself, they make their living off the decline of other people.  That’s why I don’t even bring it up to my family members who work in healthcare and its maintenance.  I’m at the scrap the whole thing level and don’t want to spend one cent on it.  Regenerative medicine is the way to go, nobody should ever die of cancer.  And people should be able to live into their hundreds, and keep working as long as possible.  So, all the Social Security processing and health insurance talk infuriates me at the basic level.  And seeing my new granddaughter, it was nice to welcome her into the world, but it reminded me of how much I hate hospitals.  The people there reminded me of hamsters running on the hamster wheel, pointlessly, aimlessly, and only to provide incomes to people for jobs they shouldn’t even have.  There are many better things to do besides health maintenance of declining conditions.  And the authority we have given doctors over our economy, which was most notable during Covid when they made a power grab through the World Health Organization to take over the global economy.  I am proud of Trump for standing up to those losers, but that’s where the fight is, in the social construction of the current healthcare system.  People aren’t ready to cut the funding to a failed model yet, because they work for that system with comfortable jobs that they like too much.  But the time for that discussion is coming, and I can’t wait for it.

Joe Biden’s Presidency Was Illegal: They are using the cancer diagnosis to hide the crime behind sympathy

Just remember, when people say that my topics are too wild to be believed, because lately I have been talking a lot about Atlantis and the origins of ancient civilizations, remember that most of the time, if not every single time, I am right about the things I say.  There is a reason by choice that I do not write for significant publications and flaunt academic credentials as part of a byline.  That is because I don’t trust institutionalism because of what I understand psychologically about the people who make it up, and the limits it places on society.  And I sometimes pick some of those complex and wild topics to stretch my legs.  Because when the rubber hits the road, I am always there to say, “I told you so.”  And that was certainly the case when it came to the origins of COVID-19.  I would say I was the very first person out of all the media in the world to call it what we now know it was, which includes some of the wildest so-called “right-winged media” out there.  And I was among the first to call the election fraud of 2020 what it was, and I turned out to be right about everything.  I have covered many very controversial, far-reaching topics that seem insane at the time, but once the facts all come in, I turn out to be right.  So I am having a little fun with the Joe Biden topic after the tapes captured by Robert Hur made their way into the mainstream media.  I found it astonishing that news commentators like Laura Ingraham were shocked by what they heard, which was that Joe Biden was utterly unable to function in a mental capacity and was essentially a Weekend at Bernie’s presidency, propped up by handlers to appear to be in charge.  It was all a complete deception, and once those tapes hit the news cycle, they announced that he had a ten-year-old prostate cancer diagnosis, hoping to use compassion to get the former president off the front pages.  The Hur tapes bring up a much more catastrophic problem that few people can handle.  But I will.

She knew, among many who did

Joe Biden was illegally inserted and was never in command of the White House, leaving unelected personalities running his presidency completely in the background, and now many of those people have been caught.  Now, the good thing is that this break in trust is healthy for people to experience.  Society has been suckered by a group that we call “elites” who hold the power in our offices outside of elected representation.  And it’s a hard learned lesson that will forever change the Democrat Party.  I think they are destroyed forever, but we’ll see.  I don’t see them ever returning from the damage they have inflicted on themselves over these last five years, starting with the Covid cover-up, and ending with the truth about the Biden presidency.  They lied about everything, including his cancer diagnosis.  It’s possible they even lied to Biden himself to keep him smiling for the cameras and standing at a podium with a stick up his backside to keep him from falling over.  We are witnessing a grand deception on an epic scale that was massively illegal in the process, and people will never forget it.  So as we hear the stories of the media sacrificing themselves now hoping to win back trust, and the Jake Tapper’s of the world come out with their books and are getting raked over the coals for what they knew but didn’t say about the matter, and Jim Comey is getting embarrassed in public at book signings by an angry public, and he smiles and takes it, because he has no other option, remember who told you first about all these things……….I did. 

Trump may want to give Biden a pass, but the former president played right along with the plan, knowing the people behind it.

I run the blog because it gives me a chance to express trustworthy independent journalism, and because of how I live my life, it is free of outside influence.  I can afford to do things almost no other journalist in the world can do.  And that is a very valuable asset in a free speech environment.  And people ask me all the time why I do it.  Well, it’s for cases like this, the Joe Biden case, that I do what I do, even though many of the things I said were ridiculed extensively right out of the gate.  Just as the things I am speaking about, like Atlantis, might seem too wild to seriously consider.  When something is so far outside of a mainstream narrative, people have a hard time with it.  But when that state of disbelief is part of the crime, to use that nature against people to perpetuate a knowing deception on the world, we should all have a significant problem with that type of conduct.  And I certainly do, and that’s why I choose to produce the kind of media I do, in the form that I decided to do it.  And the sum of the whole Biden story is that everything Biden signed as president is invalidated because of this massive cover-up, which is the real reason that the cancer diagnosis came out when it did, to use sympathy to hide the crime.  These people have been caught in a major crime against the United States of America, which is all of us who are citizens of this country, and there is no forgiveness for that transgression.  All the people involved in the Biden cover-up committed a significant crime that must now be punished. 

I had to remind a few good friends I have in the media, who are very close to the White House, when the story broke over a mid-May weekend in 2025 that Biden’s cancer story was a ruse, and not to fall for it.  He’s an old man, and most men will eventually get prostate cancer of some kind.  There is no surprise by that diagnosis, so don’t go soft on Biden because he’s a dying man.  I’ve been warning for a long time that when the crapola hit the fan with Biden, they would try to use a funeral to take people’s minds away from the seriousness of the crime.  And that’s what they tried to do with the cancer diagnosis.  Don’t be a sucker and fall for it.  The real story is that everything Biden touched was illegal, including his nomination of a Supreme Court member in Ketanji Brown Jackson, the extremely liberal trainwreck that should be nowhere near a courtroom.  But it wasn’t Biden who picked her, but rather Barack Obama, and Alex Soros, along with his terrorist father, George Soros.  People we did not elect and had no legal right to the office of the Executive Branch. That means every bill signed was signed under illegal conditions and is invalid.  Everything that Biden had been doing for four years was unlawful.  And how do we know? We know they put him in place with election fraud.  And if that story is too wild for you, then now you have the proof that the people behind Biden lied about his health.  He had this cancer before he was elected president, and they lied about it to put him in office so they could essentially run him as a puppet in the background.  They rigged the entire process to get a compromised puppet in the White House so that they could steal that power away from voters.  Just let that sink in.  This is a bigger story than most anybody could wrap their minds around.  But there it is.  And the damage from this will never allow things to return to what they were before.  And a lot of people are in deep trouble for it.  Jake Tapper and Jim Comey are just the tip of the tip of the iceberg.  And the Democrat Party has hit that iceberg, and is sinking very fast.
