I Endorse Michael Ryan for Butler County Commissioner: A wonderful future if only we have the courage to embrace it

I thought it was going to be a secret for a while, but it was announced at the Nancy Nix fundraiser on February 21st, 2025, that Michael Ryan, the Hamilton City Council member and Vice Mayor, was planning to run for one of the commissioner openings that were coming up in November of 2026.  I have felt for a long time that if only T.C. Rogers, one of the current commissioners in Butler County, had another friendly vote, lots of good things could happen for a community that has over 400,000 people and has the potential for some of the best economic output anywhere in the United States, or even the world for that matter.  If another commissioner could help with the critical free market philosophy, lots of upward mobility for a lot of people would be created.  Upon hearing this news, I first thought that Michael would be a perfect replacement for the current commissioner, Cindy Carpenter.  I haven’t been a fan of hers since she started, but her career path fell off the road last year when she was caught campaigning for a Democrat in Middletown, Ohio.   There is a lot of talk about Cindy winning eight straight elections even though she has a lot of detractors in the Republican Party.  I would argue that the reason she holds up so well to Democrat challengers is because she is essentially a Democrat who puts an “R” next to her name to win elections in a very conservative county.  I think this campaigning in Middletown for Democrats thing will hurt her now in ways she’s not used to, so I think she’s very vulnerable.   We’re in a new day of politics, and putting up with these RINOs has been something that Central Committees have not been willing to do, especially when they have an opportunity to get a MAGA type of officeholder.  And that is precisely what Michael V. Ryan is.

My wife has been very busy with family business lately.  To run a family well takes a massive commitment sometimes, and my wife is the kind of person who will drop everything at the drop of a hat to help my two daughters with life as it’s happening.  This leaves me going to some of these vital community functions by myself a lot.  And at Nancy’s fundraiser, I talked too much to too many people to find a seat in the vast crowd.  Nancy Nix always does a great job with these events, which are always well-attended.  On this particular evening, it was being held at the Elks Club in Liberty Township, which is a favorite venue of mine.  It holds a lot of people, and she always brings in big-time comedy acts to entertain people during a nice dinner provided by the Spinning Fork restaurant that facilitates the club.  The comedians were Jeff Jena, Dave Dugan, and Lou Santini, so they were not second-rate acts, so seating had some priority.  If my wife had been with me, we would have found a seat and held it near people we usually associate with.  But Jeff Jena was acting as the master of ceremonies, and he was getting impatient. People were still talking as it was time to serve dinner and start the show.  So I needed to stop shindigging and get to a seat.  I had been talking to Michael Ryan about several county and city topics, and he saw my dilemma and said that I could sit with him and his wife, along with others from city councils in not just Hamilton but also nearby Middletown. 

Michael and I have had a lot of discussions over the years about the potential of Butler County, and as a younger guy, he has reminded me of a lot of up-and-coming political people who are formulating the MAGA movement that is emerging behind Trump’s leadership in the Executive Branch, which includes J.D. Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Bernie Moreno.  These are different kinds of brilliant people who could be successful in any field they want to be in.  However, a personality type is emerging that is quite noticeable, and Michael Ryan, who I call “young” at 41 years old, has a lot of good stuff to give.  Once I heard that he was planning to run for that Butler County Commissioner seat that Cindy Carpenter occupied, I got excited and decided to get behind his campaign and help however I could.  As he and I were talking about his upcoming campaign, shortly after Nancy Nix gave him a full endorsement in front of the crowd that caused a little controversy, in a good way, he kept reminding me of a different version of Vivek Ramaswamy. I met Vivek years ago through Nancy Nix and a few other places at VIP events, such as a time with Mike Pompeo and again as he prepared to announce his race for Governor of Ohio.  Leading up to Nancy’s fundraiser, I was coordinating that big announcement with Vivek at CTL Aerospace, and I noted how different this new generation of politicians was as opposed to the past before Trump changed politics forever.  Michael Ryan fits this new, young, ambitious type of politician who runs toward capitalism, not away from it as Cindy Carpenter has all these years. 

So I appreciated Michael and his very nice wife Amanda letting me share in their date night as a third wheel.  We talked about many incredible opportunities for Butler County if only someone like him could fill that critical seat.  We spent a lot of time discussing the vertical taxi market, which I have been talking about with everyone with a mind to listen.  A lot of people haven’t yet put all the dots together, but Joby Aviation is right up the road of the aviation corridor of I-75 that Vivek Ramaswamy is planning to talk a lot about as his run for governor, and they are building eVTOL aircraft that are ready to go right now.  I told everyone months ago how it was going to go down. They are only waiting for regulation approval and can start shipping these air taxi vehicles worldwide.  China and Abu Dhabi are the first to market as they have much fewer regulatory environments to slow them down.  However, under the Trump administration, I’m just saying that those barriers to the United States will be removed.  And someone like Michael Ryan is just the kind of person with the vision to put their arms around it and bring top tech innovation to Butler County as a leader of this emerging new technology.  He understands the value of that kind of innovation, but that’s not the only reason I like Michael.  He’s just a good person who wants to do good things, and I enjoyed spending time with him and his wife, along with the table of fellow council members and community managers.  Michael and Amanda are the kind of people you want to see providing leadership and opportunity to people hungry for it, and Butler County is a prime place to have the most vibrant economy in a state that is going to be Trump’s example of turning a rust belt into a tech giant.  From my experience with the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign for governor, I know his plans for the state.  And to cascade off that, Butler County can be the leader of the state to have the best opportunities that many people can’t yet possibly imagine.  And with a commissioner like Michael Ryan, even the wildest dreams of the most optimistic people can’t even be imagined because such greatness has never yet been seen among the human race. But that opportunity is coming at us very soon, with Vivek Ramaswamy as Ohio Governor and Michael Ryan as Butler County Commissioner. 

Oh, and regarding Joby Aviation and why Abu Dhabi is the current leader in the eVTOL market. Joby’s S4 aircraft, which hauls a pilot and four passengers at 200 mph with a 100-mile range, could slash the two-hour car slog from Abu Dhabi to Dubai to a breezy 30 minutes—no emissions, and much less noise than a chopper. They’re tying this into Abu Dhabi’s Smart and Autonomous Vehicles Industry (SAVI) cluster, a big local initiative to lead in next-gen transport. Joby’s already got exclusive rights to operate in Dubai starting as early as 2025, and this Abu Dhabi move opens the door for zippy inter-emirate trips. They’ve been showing off the aircraft at events like DRIFTx in Yas Marina, flexing their tech to seal the deal.  This is not science fiction.  The only thing stopping us in the United States is having the kind of politicians who can take away the barriers to market saturation currently held up to the speed of slow government left to us by Joe Biden and Obama’s years of bureaucratic infrastructure. The eVTOL is the future of transportation, much more important than building any new highway or railroad.  And Butler County, Ohio can lead America if only it has the right politicians who can make it happen.  The money and investment are just waiting for the pin-headed politicians like Cindy Carpenter to get out of the way.

What a Miracle to see RFK Jr. Confirmed: The hidden war against Americans through poisoned food

It was different this time, whenever I go to political fundraisers, there’s always hope lurking in the background that if only we could get this person elected, or that, that maybe, just maybe, we might save the world.  But a kind of dismal smoke always makes everything political seem out of reach, even diabolical.  Things never quite work out how you want them to, and the political efforts always come out feeling short on the results.  However, the atmosphere was dramatically different this year at the Nancy Nix fundraiser for February of 2025.  Trump had been back in the White House for a month, but things were already feeling dramatically different.  Kash Patel had just been confirmed as the new Director of the FBI, which I never thought possible, and it is a topic of its own.  Most of Trump’s presidential picks had received confirmation votes in the Senate.  But the one I think is astonishing, and that I thought was even less of a possibility than Kash Patel, is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  The Senate confirmed RFK Jr. into his new role as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and I am very excited to see what he can do with our food supply.  After reading his books on Anthony Fauci, I never thought he’d be in any government role.  It just seemed like a fantasy that could never come true.  But he did get confirmed, and that will be his new job, and I think great things will happen from that position.  Not that I am suddenly about government regulations or supportive of Democrats.  But in a tough time, when I was reading Bobby’s books about the origin and villains of COVID-19, I thought it took a lot of guts to say what he did and that all those things have stood up to time legally. 

Let’s not play patty cake with this issue; COVID was the most diabolical menace created as a bioweapon that has so far been unleashed on the human race within the context of mass scale. It was created in a lab in Wuhan and released to the world during an election year when China was very upset about Trump’s trade tariffs, and there is only one way to view that kind of thing: as a terrorist weapon meant to drive a World Economic Forum Great Reset of the global economy into a communist-controlled menace.  And that’s saying it all nicely.  For those who think we can turn the page and forget what Covid was, who made it, and why, forget about it.  Those involved in creating and distributing COVID-19 must be punished for what they did. The pharma companies that perpetuated the destruction must also be dealt with.  We can’t let it go.  Time and distance can’t make the guilty less guilty.  They have to pay, and RFK Jr. laid out the case in his two books on the subject, The Real Anthoney Fauci and The Wuhan Cover-up.  As the new HHS secretary, the author of those books gets to drive health policy in America, knowing what we do now about all the diabolical forces in the background who used health care as a global power grab to install a one-world government driven ultimately by the United Nations, through their sub-tier, The World Health Organization.  These are all bad people from socialist and communist countries, and they have been trying to destroy our nation through policy regulation for years, and with COVID-19, they went too far.  Trump knows it, and his new HHS secretary wrote the book on the matter.

Regarding poison, I have become very skeptical of our food supply and how our water is treated across America.  Watching what many evil characters without refute did during COVID-19 has opened the door to everything, such as fluoride and corn syrup, as known catastrophic mechanisms of doom.   Even if the government pinheads did everything on accident, just trying to meet the market needs of a capitalist public, allowing known killers to poison our food just can’t occur.  As an example, a good friend of mine just traveled to England, where a week there lowered his blood sugar dramatically as he has diabetes, just through diet.  I have had a similar experience and complained about it a lot.  The food in Europe has all kinds of regulations and doesn’t taste nearly as good as it does in America.  Usually, after I take a trip to Europe or Asia, I look forward to my layover flights in either Chicago, Detroit, or Charlette upon re-entering the United States because I pig out on double combo meals from the nearest Burger King just to get my usual food intake levels back to what they are used to in America.  But maybe that shouldn’t be the case.  Our food is making us unhealthy, and not that Europe or Asia is doing something better than us with tight market controls over the food supply, but perhaps in this case, their admission to the health crises is far more than just being a nanny state over their citizens.  We’re at a point where you can’t have any discussions about healthcare policy without dealing with the poison that is in most foods, hidden behind our free market system with the same intentions as drug dealers seek to poison our citizens slowly.  Who needs war to kill off your enemy when you can just encourage them to poison themselves with drugs and poorly constructed food? 

I was with a large group of affiliates at the P.F. Chang’s in West Chester where we were talking about this very issue, and we were all sharing some lettuce wraps and talking about all the harmful ingredients that were in American Chinese food that you wouldn’t find in the country of origin.  And my attitude was, “Who cares?” because this food had to be good for you because I wouldn’t be eating a leaf if not for all the good stuff that you poor over it to make it taste good.  So, indeed, the leaf had health value.  But, when you think of the vast amounts of food we eat where those kinds of concessions are constantly being made, our bodies can’t keep up with all the lousy processing, destroying our population.  So we needed to have a serious discussion on food, and we need to set some standards that are going to be rough on companies taking advantage of the freedom they have had because we can’t poison our population and hide laziness and a lack of innovation behind a mask of capitalism, and to call it good.  Because so many companies have gotten away with literal murder, the pharma companies thought they were going to get away with COVID-19 and the vaccines that caused so much trouble with ridiculous immunity deals from any prosecution.  The solution to all in RFK was to be in some position to help.  And to have a Trump administration that would have the guts to turn him loose.  And now he is, Robert F. Kenndy Jr. is getting the chance of a lifetime, and he won’t waste it.  Which, of course, we will all benefit from.   Our food might taste different, but we’ll get used to it.  Because ultimately, we all want to be healthier and not let our enemies laugh at us while we poison ourselves recklessly and without regard for a prosperous future.

Elon Musk and a Gold Chainsaw: The destructive force of the D.O.G.E. flood of information is saving humanity

When Elon Musk is on stage at CPAC with Argentina’s wild president Javier Milei waving around a gold chainsaw like a madman, you know the dark curse holding back all of human civilization has been broken.  Never under any condition a year ago would such a bizarre concept be considered even remotely possible.  Yet there it is.  It really happened and they were serious about it.  Of course, the chainsaw was intent on cutting costs as Elon Musk has been leading the charge for cutting government waste spending in a dramatic way, and within a month, has caused a sensation worldwide.  The whole scene was like a screenplay that I would have written under the most fantastic considerations, only to have an audience confirm that everything was just too unbelievable to put into a movie sequence.  Even our wildest fantasies would never lend credibility to such a series of events, which can only mean one thing: that a curse looming over our lives all these years is finally ending.  I’ve been talking about this stuff for dozens of years; the amount of government waste from our progressive tax system and this flood of D.O.G.E. information is terrific, if not timely.  We weren’t going to make it much longer under the previous system, and as a response, now that Elon Musk has been red-pilled into this perspective that he showed off on stage at CPAC, the world will have no choice but to follow.  D.O.G.E is likely the best thing to ever happen to America and it started on day one of the new Trump administration and has been justified by every bad thing that was done to Trump, and anybody who got caught up on the bad side of politics because they wanted to stop the kind of waste that goes with every government project. 

When we talk about floods, we often think of the force of water pressure that carries away all the debris from a river valley and dumps it far away, leaving behind a fresh surface, as all the weak garbage of society has been removed.  Floods, like raging fires, can clean things up, even if their initial implementation is violent and destructive.  And for many people who have been working in government jobs with outrageously good pay and benefits, but doing very little to actually deserve it, this D.O.G.E. process is terrible and destructive.  But for Musk to parade around with a chainsaw and laugh about cutting away all the government waste is a much-needed revenge for every time some loser politician said to us that we had to pay our fair share.  We were supposed to dump all this money into the mouths of a bunch of lazy thieves and pay more of it to feed their worthless souls.  Elon Musk probably is the most burdened taxpayer on earth, paying more than anybody else.  But that’s not why he is doing this; he’s the wealthiest person in the world, can pay all his taxes, and still has more money in a lifetime than anybody could ever spend on themselves.  But there is one thing that money can buy that they don’t talk about in the Bible, regarding threading the needle of goodness.  Money buys personal freedom, and because Musk is a free person, he can express himself as a person broken away from this matrix of government oppression because of his wealth.  Trump, in many ways, is in the same position.  When they tried to destroy him, it was his vast wealth that saved him and put him in place to do what he is now as president, appointing people like Musk to lead D.O.G.E., which is ripping the top off government corruption for the first real-time in history, with dramatic effect. 

There is no way to put this Genie back in the bottle; now that it’s out, it’s here to stay.  The argument about paying more to a worthless, expensive government will never return because of this flood of D.O.G.E information from a Department of Government Efficiency.  Cost cutting is back in our daily dialogue, which seemed to be gone forever just four years ago when the world government proposed endless spending like there was no tomorrow.  The evil that fuels the beast of the kind of government that brought us the COVID lockdowns and trillions of dollars of debt is the one that steals our tax money and uses it for globalists’ garbage.  And that game ended the day that Trump was re-elected and then sworn in on January 20th, 2025.  I remember how immensely angry I was on a cold day in March just 5 years ago when COVID was starting to shut down everything and a friend and I were trying to go to lunch at P.F. Chang’s but couldn’t because they had closed the dining room over Health Department safety concerns.  For people who have seen me mad, I scared even them that day, and I swore to myself that I would punish every last person involved in keeping me from getting my lunch because it was an attack on me and my community and country.  And I wasn’t going to stand for it.  And apparently, I wasn’t the only one.  Five years later, the battle has turned in our favor dramatically, and what happens next will be magnificent and well-deserved.

The video I did for this article is an appropriate metaphor. I was speaking about this topic in a snowstorm next to the flooded Great Miami River, and that’s how these years have felt.  I was in a storm, and a mess needed to be cleaned up.  However, as a result, there was a flood that couldn’t help but carry away all the carnage from that battle.  And with just a month of D.O.G.E. with Elon Musk leading it, and President Trump doing what he has always done best, to use executive leadership to empower many people to do many great things, as he has done in his companies, and was featured on the television show The Apprentice.  All this wouldn’t have been possible without the element of revenge that gave us all more than enough firepower to shoot back at those trying to suppress us.  That day, I stood in front of P.F. Chang’s with my friend, angry at the closed dining room imposed on us by the Dr. Faucis of the world; the revenge tour of today is more than earned.  We don’t need to feel bad for this flood of information converting our government back into something useful, perhaps for the first real-time.  As bad as our enemies have been to us, both foreign and domestic, they showed their wrath.  They didn’t manage to kill us.  And now, it’s time for righteous revenge, which is what is happening now.  And everyone is involved this time, even Elon Musk.  Going back even further, when I was on WLW radio with Darryl Parks on those Saturday shows, we never thought something like Elon Musk running around on a stage at CPAC with a chainsaw would have been remotely possible.  Yet, there it is, and we have much more to look forward to.  It almost makes all our pain and suffering worth it…………almost.

Family is the First and Most Important Form of Government: The Truths of Vivek Ramaswamy

You might have noticed a theme with the incoming Trump administration.  It was very obvious at the Daytona 500, where Trump walked around the track with his granddaughter.  Or with Elon Musk bringing his children into the Oval Office to play while doing press conferences.  I told my very good friend, Senator George Lang, how I thought so much about how he and his wife work together so well and enjoy doing many things as a couple.  A lot of people don’t get to see that side of him, but George has a great family. They love their kids and are just good people from the ground up.  And that seems to be a constant theme regarding people I tend to think are doing a good job in government; they do a good job in their homes, starting there.  That was certainly the message with J.D. Vance at the inauguration, where his children were crawling all over the place during the parade ceremonies.  It was very nice to see.  As I was reading Vivek Ramaswamy’s new book Truths recently, ahead of a big event with him where he is going to announce he’s running for governor of Ohio, he spent a whole chapter on the topic of family and how important it is to the constructs of a good society and good government.  In almost every case, you can’t expect to govern other people well if you don’t have a good family life.  So more and more, the way to sell good government to people is to show everyone that you know how to run a good family, because it all starts in the home.  We have been lied to when it has been suggested otherwise.  To be Great Again, America needs to make families great again as the first layer of good government; from there, everything else flows forward. 

I tell my wife every year that it is her birthday, in late February, to which I always hold my breath and which I most look forward to.  I’m not crazy about the weeks between Christmas and her birthday.  I enjoy the holiday season–Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year.  There is a lot of optimism that the human race has created for itself during that time of year, and I do love it.  But once the cold of winter hits and there are several weeks of very short days of daylight, I sort of hold my breath for her birthday, which always comes after it, the optimism of spring.  So we usually do something fun as a family for her birthday as a mile marker through a winter hard won.  This year, we celebrated by going to the Fuji House at Bridgewater Falls, and we had a wonderful evening there as a family with my kids and their kids.  It was her pick; it’s an open hibachi-style Japanese place where they cook in front of you.  I get to do that a lot. I’ve been to Japan a few times recently, and they do a lot of that cooking style there, so I’ve seen it firsthand. I have to say, they do a great job at the Fuji House.  It’s the only place my wife wanted to go for her birthday dinner, and everyone had a great time together.  The little kids loved it.  My kids enjoyed the treat, as they work hard, and life has a way of chipping away at people in their thirties and forties, they needed the break.  So my wife’s instincts were correct on that particular place on that particular night.  One thing you always get with Japanese society, in any form, is that they are very family-friendly, and the Fuji House in Butler County, Ohio, is undoubtedly family-oriented, making it fun for everyone. 

As I was watching our cook doing his warrior-like slicing up of our food with fire dancing all around in front of us, I kept thinking about Vivek’s book, about Trump and his kids and grandkids, Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, my friend George and his wife Debbie and there isn’t any way to hide it.  Family is the first foundation for everything; you can’t have a culture of success without it.  Everything starts at home.  You manage your family well.  Only then can you think of managing anything in your community.  I know most of the trustees in the communities I work with, and I can say that in all their cases, family is essential to them.  Most of them have functional relationships with their spouses.  If you control that, you can think about state government.  Then, from there, the federal government.  And if there is anything left after all that, you can think about what’s happening in the world.  But never do any of those things at the expense of your family.  Family is everything, and any experiment from the past that has been said otherwise is a catastrophic failure, and we are paying for it now on many levels.  Sitting there watching our cook put all that well-prepared food on our plate for us to eat with chopsticks, I thought about all the great family moments we have had over the years, and really, those are the only things that ever mattered.  I’ve done many neat things, but time with our family has been the most important.  When I talk about good government and its needs, I always utter it from the perspective of a good family foundation first.

All suggestions otherwise have been wrong and should be viewed as an attack on our basic social structure.  Anything that attacks the pursuit of a happy family attacks the basic premise of values in that culture.  Thinking more about our own experiences, especially over this last decade, as we have traveled a lot as a family, usually with a caravan of RV campers, we have had many great experiences that indeed show up in the little children.  And that is the task of someone like Trump to give his grandkids an idea of what a good life should look like.  Otherwise, how would they know?  If you can’t have a good life at home with your family, how will you do it for community members, state, or nation?  That is what the borderless world people have gotten wrong from the beginning; they are trying to erode this essential Truth, as Vivek Ramaswamy calls it.  The government doesn’t start from the world as a global citizen and then work down to the family.  It’s the complete opposite, which is why Disney as a company has been failing.  They used to understand the family first concept.  But through radicalized politics, they tried to turn that basic structure on its head, attack the premise of family membership, and replace it with being a global citizen.  And that’s just wrong at every level.  So, I again enjoyed my wife’s birthday and dinner with our family to celebrate it.  There was a time not that long ago when we all got on a plane and flew to London to have her birthday dinner at Chef Ramsey’s premier restaurant in Chelsea, which was fantastic.  But in the scheme of things, Fuji House was better.  Not so much in the quality of food, but in the atmosphere.  The family-friendly environment there was just conducive to a good evening; many families there doing the same thing we were, and I saw a lot of evidence of good government in the home and people ready to take those values into their community, which was terrific.  There is hope for the world yet–through the children.  And if the adults let them down, that is a real tragedy.  And the signs of a future lousy government. 

We did it last year; I had just stepped off a plane from Japan.  And I was going to take our whole family to Disney World.  We were planning to spend a whole week at the Fort Wilderness Campground.  It’s a trip I had wanted to do before the grandkids got too old for Disney.  And I wanted them to experience it before the park started to fall off the rails due to their woke politics.  Since I was traveling late from Japan, the rest of my family headed to a little campsite in Georgia with their RV, and the agreement was that my wife and I would meet them there, just south of Atlanta.   I stepped off the 14-hour plane ride from Tokyo and literally got right into our SUV to pull our RV trailer to that Georgia campsite to catch up with my kids, who were already there, to drive 8 hours per day over the next couple of days.  And that evening, when we met up at a table set up between our two RVs, I brought them little treasures from Japan, and we had a great evening together, ahead of a week at Disney World and a Park Hopper pass to all four of their amusement parks for the week.  It was a wonderful day, the best we could ever hope for in a government experience.  Seeing it firsthand, I can say that I know what it looks like and what other people should be doing to get to similar happy places.  And it’s not up for debate.

Steve Bannon Pleads Guilty to Fraud: Why people like outlaws, but not criminals

It can get pretty murky whenever money is involved as to the final outcome, which to me was the case with Steve Bannon, the popular WarRoom podcaster and former strategic advisor to President Trump.  He recently pleaded guilty to defrauding investors on a private effort to fund the southern border wall in the U.S.  The hitching point for prosecutors was that the investors believed that 100% of the money was to go to construct the wall, so if some of that money goes to buying a pack of gum for instance, or some administrative cost such as buying paper for a copier, then that could and would be considered fraudulent behavior and a political enemy could then use that technicality to call the behavior fraudulent.  It can get pretty wild and scary with all the emails that start dealing with money.  I have a standard policy of keeping any money out of it when I do something with others to avoid the pitfalls Bannon found himself in.  When you find yourself a prominent national figure, some people will always seek to sink you on any technicality.  So, of course, the radical leftists think this admission of guilt from Bannon is going to hurt him in the eyes of his very vast podcasting public, and I hate to break it to everyone, but America likes bandits and outlaws, so long as they are not bad guys themselves and are seen as fighting against a corrupt system.  In that case, people will find the criminal behavior to be good and will punish the bad guys who attempt to get control of the law so they can define good and bad behavior.  People still have a sense of justice that extends beyond what some central authority tries to impose, which is exactly how President Trump ended up back in the White House and where the mug shot he received from the Fulton County Jail over the case there regarding overturning the election of 2020 is now seen hanging outside the Oval Office in the White House.  People are pretty smart and not just compliant followers, and they could smell a rat in that case; the more Trump’s political enemies dug in, the more they supported Trump and, of course, people like Steve Bannon.

A good soundboard on this strange mystery can be seen in my favorite steak house in Cincinnati.  I think it’s the best steak house in the Midwest, and it is certainly on par with any restaurant, wherever they are, in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, London, or anywhere else.  It’s called Son of a Butcher in Liberty Township, Ohio.  Growing up in Liberty Township, I never imagined in my wildest fantasy that something like Son of a Butcher would be located where it would be and that some of what went on in that location would be some of the most essential things in the business and political world.  But we’re talking about bad guys here and can’t stray too far off the mark.  If you have ever been to Son of a Butcher, it is known for its very wild interior decorating with lots of art painted all over the walls and crazy chandeliers hanging from the ceiling everywhere.  Every room in the restaurant has a kind of artistic expression reflecting contemporary pop culture.  For instance, in one room looming over what they call the Godfather table, indicated so from the popular movie series, is a painting of the Joker from the Batman movies.  Another room is filled with paintings of books from popular literature.  It’s a wild place artistically and looks more like a kind of dive bar in New York than something you’d find anywhere in Cincinnati, let alone Liberty Township, Ohio. 

Of course, the food is even better than the decorations, as they know how to pack a punch for food preparation.  They have some very expensive steaks at the S.O.B., as it’s known, and a couple of people eating there could very easily spend 1K per couple.  Some of the food items are moderately priced, but they are on the high end of the menu offerings and is often one of the most interesting places I find myself in routinely. It’s the perfect place to meet people for complicated conversations, to say things appropriately.  When I am there, I am usually put into a back room, which is my favorite place, that seats about 8 to 10 people, has crystal skulls all over the place and is pretty wild in a place of wild rooms.  They call this place the Criminal Room, and it has pictures of famous outlaws popularly known.  Painted on those walls is a large mural of Bonnie and Clyde.  Around the circumference of the room are two large paintings of very well-known pop culture icons, Marylin Monroe and the other Snoop Dogg.  Marylin Monroe was arrested several times for driving without a license and driving too slow in one instance.  Another time, it was for a peaceful protest.  The room paints her with a mug shot, illustrating that just about anybody can be seen as an outlaw if people dig far enough. Then there is Snoop Dogg, who lately has been trying to change his image into something more kid-friendly and popular rather than the thug gangster rapper who advocated for lots of recreational pot use.  Snoop Dogg was arrested for his role in a murder investigation, the details of which have just been sealed from public record in 2024, about the time that the popular rap star and Corona beer commercial spokesman started to change his image to a broader audience.  The murder was a 1993 case that didn’t quite get to prosecute him for extended jail time, but the charges were severe.

The point of the matter is that even with the murder charge hanging over Snoop Dogg’s head, the public didn’t care.  They bought his records anyway, turning him into one of the world’s superstars in music.  And I probably wouldn’t know much of that story if he wasn’t painted on the Son of the Butcher walls that I see at least once a month.  That is certainly the case with Steve Bannon and even President Trump.  Republicans have been harming themselves with their brand by trying to push out the bad boys that all the women like and put in place all the embarrassing stiff pencil necks that they think adhere to the law, but when they get pushed around by the political left, they end up being seen as George McFly from the Back to the Future movies.  Steve Bannon sees himself more like John Paul Jones, the popular pirate from the Revolution, so he understood all this well before others did in the GOP.  But the lesson is, if you want to win people over to your point of view, a background as an outlaw only helps you.  Being a criminal, however, hurts you, so there is a very fine line to walk. The difference is public judgment; if the public sees lawfare occurring, they will support the victim if they stick up for themselves, which is why having those celebrities in that room at the S.O.B. is so artistically revealing. We love people who challenge the law that corrupt people use to hold back our society.  But people do not love criminals who unfairly seek to exploit people in a weakened position.  And the more that the bad guys have tried to prosecute Steve Bannon, who just stepped out of a jail term right before the election of 2024.  The more popular and influential they have made him.

Lets Talk About The Future Governor of Ohio: Vivek Ramaswamy announces a great opportunity in West Chester

These opportunities don’t come along too often when people like Vivek Ramaswamy want to run for governor on a political path that will entail a lot of high offices.  But to be governor of Ohio at this particular juncture in history is quite a remarkable idea.  Something that just a few months ago didn’t seem possible.  Yet it is true; I know it is because I am playing a role in sponsoring this announcement by Vivek on February 24th at 5:30 PM in West Chester.  And I am thrilled to be a part of it because I like Vivek Ramaswamy.  I would have thought he would be directly involved in the Trump administration after the President was elected to a second term.  Vivek Ramaswamy was set to partner directly with Elon Musk to run D.O.G.E., which is the hottest thing in the world right now.  So, it would have been a perfect next chapter for Vivek Ramaswamy.  However, in the weeks before Christmas, some very good friends of mine, who are very close to Vivek, told me what was cooking down at Mar-a-Lago with Trump wanting to clear the decks for Vivek to run for Governor of Ohio, and that was exciting news indeed, and I was instantly supportive.  I thought it was a good move for DeWine to appoint Jon Husted to J.D. Vance’s senate seat because now J.D. was in the White House with Trump. Husted had wanted to run for governor, but I supported David Yost instead.  But then, Vivek Ramaswamy didn’t look like he would be available at that Ohio high office.  However, a mission is going on in the background to make Ohio no longer a “rust belt” state but the center of the technological universe, starting with aviation and aerospace, then migrating to computer chips and fuel production.  So it didn’t take me long to grab on to this opportunity, which was a chance of a lifetime to get an excellent MAGA governor in Ohio and to do big things that had not been possible up to now.

I like David Yost, the current attorney general.  I liked the idea of a law and order governor who would be hard on crime and support the Trump administration’s border policies.  Yost is a big guy, the last time I saw him personally, he was wearing a big cowboy hat, and I loved the idea of him being an option for governor.  But for all things Ohio, Vivek also gives us a great law and order presence, and we get all the economic goodies, too.  It’s nothing against David Yost, but everyone has a role that they are good at, and with Vivek, he’ll be able to cheerlead along projects that are unique to him on the tech side of things.  Ramaswamy is a new generation of political figures who are self-made and energetic, working feverishly around the clock to do great things.  David Yost is a more traditional politician.  He’d be much better than the current Mike DeWine, but he wouldn’t be much different from the governors we’ve had.  He’s not Vivek Ramaswamy, who is probably the best orator in the world right now.  And he has a long runway.  I love seeing people in his age bracket, not yet 40, poised to do these big jobs because it’s the juice for a good living cascading off their administrations.  Not that David Yost is a one-trick pony; there is much to say about law and order.  But Vivek Ramaswamy is the whole racehorse, which is a safe bet on a successful race.  Knowing what I do about the great things in the background that are part of Senator Lang’s business first caucus, this opportunity with Vivek Ramaswamy doesn’t come along in too many lifetimes. 

I want to see Dave Yost get behind Vivek and do something that he is specifically good at, such as a continuation of law and order enforcement.  There are plenty of good things to do, and I don’t want to see Yost damaged politically in a run against Vivek.  There’s just no reason for that other than ego.  Everyone should find their way in this MAGA movement.  But Yost is crazy if he thinks Trump will endorse him over Vivek Ramaswamy.  There is no reason to have anybody in the MAGA movement embarrassed because there are plenty of jobs for everyone.  There is no scenario where David Yost is on a debate stage with Vivek Ramaswamy, and Yost doesn’t come out on the losing end.  And because I like Yost personally, I don’t want to see that happen to him.  Vivek will win the GOP nomination in Ohio easily, and he will then have to take on from the Democrats the old subject of millions and millions of words that I have written about her, Amy Acton, who has announced that she too is running for Governor.  Which I think is hilarious.  But she’s the best that Democrats have, which is another problem.  She must be tone-deaf not to understand how much people in Ohio hate her after what she did with COVID-19.  The pot-smoking hippie chick persona she has will not play well, as people have tried to forget about her for all her ridiculous Covid lockdowns.  Here she goes, wanting to remind everyone of her role, which is one of the greatest mistakes Ohio has ever experienced.  She cost Ohio billions of dollars and a lot of misery; she’s the opposite of a personality like Vivek Ramaswamy. 

If you want to see Vivek in person, just register at the link below:

https://www.vivekannouncement.com/

Also, I think Amy Acton plays better with sympathetic voters who believe in second chances on a stage with David Yost, who comes across as too stoic than the compassionate Amy Acton.  Many women will undoubtedly choose Amy Acton over David Yost because that’s how emotional voters vote.  It’s probably why Amy Acton thinks that enough time has passed since the Covid disaster, and now, she can get back out and show herself to the world again.  But on a debate stage with Vivek Ramaswamy, there is no way she can win anything.  She has too much baggage, and she’s too slow, and Vivek could decimate her with a smile on his face and still give any supporter of her a reason to vote for him without feeling guilty about it.  It’s hard not to like Vivek, and he can debate anybody about anything without coming across as vicious and combative.  You don’t need to bash people over the head when you are as good as he is.  So Vivek Ramaswamy is in a class all by himself, and if you want to see him in person, just let me know before the 24th.  It’s not just a chance to see the future governor of Ohio, but I think a future President.  Vivek has a lot of runway ahead of him.  There’s room for J.D. Vance and other MAGA personalities, too.  I’d like to see them all tag team those efforts and not fight against each other, as I am suggesting, with David Yost getting behind Vivek’s run so that he can do different things that he’s good at.  The goal is to carry the MAGA movement to as many nationwide offices as far into the future as possible.  And for now, 8 years of Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio as governor could make our state a bigger economy than the country of Taiwan is now.  Bigger even.  But it takes the right people in the correct positions, and for this opportunity in Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy is it.  I’m very excited to support him in this fabulous announcement.

Why You Should See ‘Flight Risk’: Setting up ‘The Resurrection’ in all its Book of Revelation glory

As of this writing, you can still see the new Mel Gibson movie, Flight Risk, in the movie theater, which you should do.  It’s such a good movie that you should not finish reading this before you do, you should rush to see it while you still can.  I’m sure the movie will be on streaming services soon, but this is one of those movies that is a point in history and is a bridge to other great things.  And we should all support a movie like this by going to the theater to see it because there is a bigger picture coming together here.  I personally love Mel Gibson.  I understand Mel Gibson.  And I think, as a filmmaker, he is one of the best there will ever be.  Ironically, back in my high school days when Mel Gibson was on his way to being considered by women to be the sexiest man alive, I had several teachers who wanted to date me as an underage opportunity because I reminded them of Mel Gibson, with that crazy kind of energy that was about to blow apart in a moment’s notice.  Those similarities might have been actual from a visual appearance and aspects of personality, but unlike Mel Gibson, I didn’t drink, smoke or even curse.  But I was always a fan of him in serious movies like The Bounty, The River, the Lethal Weapon movies, and Bird on a Wire with Goldie Hawn.  Mel Gibson was at the top of Hollywood society until he directed The Passion, which took the world by storm.  And Hollywood went into a shock.  Their wild playboy and king of the box office had turned against them with a dramatically Christian movie that cut to the core of all human corruption, and it made them angry.  And they cut Mel Gibson from the business from that day on.  Gibson is a great actor in front of the camera, but he’s even better as a director.  After The Passion, he directed Apocalypto, one of my favorite movies ever.  But by then, Hollywood essentially ran Gibson out of Hollywood until very recently.

But Mel Gibson didn’t just go away; he has been silently plotting to take on evil as he sees it in the background for the last twenty years.  He has appeared in a few movies here and there and directed a few as well, but he has only done enough to stay relevant in the business so that he could direct his long-thought-of masterpiece, a sequel to The Passion, called The Resurrection of Christ.  I think it will be the Braveheart of Christian films and that when it comes out, probably for Easter of 2027, the world will change because of it, and we want some of these movie theaters to still be open for that theatrical experience.  With Trump back in the White House and appointing Mel Gibson to be an ambassador of the Administration in Hollywood, fate has changed in Mel Gibson’s favor, and he will take his shot to make his long-dreamed-up masterpiece.  And this movie, Flight Risk, was done to open the door for the business side of making that movie, which will start shooting with many of the original actors in 2025.  The way the movie business works is you have to make studios money along with some investors, and Mel Gibson had to put some money in some people’s pockets to advance The Resurrection forward.  Hollywood will completely melt down over this movie, but some people are happy to go against the grain and invest in a project like The Resurrection, so long as they know that Mel Gibson still has the goods and can pull it off.  That is what Flight Risk is, and it’s a movie that is unusually brilliant and bold. 

What’s impressive about Flight Risk is that it’s a movie about high crimes and corruption at the top of our social structure, and yes, all the bad guys get it in the end.  However, the movie has only three actors, and the drama takes place on a little prop plane flying across Alaska over endless mountains. Most of what drives the narrative are people talking on a cell phone or airplane radio.  There are a few other people at the beginning and end of the movie, but it’s a very Hitchcock-like experiment in minimalism.  Mel Gibson is showing off his narrative ability with a camera by doing what few other people would ever dare to do in professional entertainment.  The special effects aren’t excellent.  There is no booming soundtrack.  There are no technical awards for outstanding achievements in film.  It’s just three people in an airplane flying over mountains for most of an hour and a half, and it is very compelling.  Mark Walberg stars in the movie, but otherwise, these people do not inspire people to go to the movies.  Michelle Dockery and Topher Grace are the real stars of the film.  Otherwise, it’s just those three actors for the entire film.  During a weak part of the year, the film has been number one for Lionsgate and has made a profit as the budget was set extremely low, made for about as little money as you can make a movie like this these days.  It hit around 40 million worldwide and has been a slow burner.  But it sets up Mel Gibson to knock the ball out of the park with The Resurrection because, in an economy of scale consideration, the margin on the film shows Mel knows how to hit it, so Flight Risk is successful on many frontiers. 

I think years from now, when people look at the miracle of something like The Resurrection being made, people will wonder how it came to be, and this little film Flight Risk will have to be the door that was opened for Hollywood to become Great Again, as a direct representation of the Trump White House.  To tell a compelling story with no money and just three actors on an airplane running out of gas is a great filmmaker showing off to set up much bigger things, and ultimately, that’s where all this is going.  My wife and I had an excellent date going to see it.  We were out shopping for some ties for some of my suits, and we had an extra couple of hours free, which was unusual, so we went to the movie next to the stores we were shopping at and saw Fight Risk.  I wanted to support Mel Gibson’s new film.  But I was also curious about what he could do with a movie like that.  And I was thrilled to see that he did quite a lot.  I have been cheering Mel Gibson on for twenty years to make the sequel to The Passion finally.  I don’t think anybody in the world could do what Mel Gibson can do with a project like that, to essentially bring the Ephesians and Book of Revelation alive from the Bible and put it on screen very dramatically.  Mel Gibson is a very flawed person; he was a womanizer, a heavy abuser of drugs and alcohol, and essentially a hard-wired lunatic.  But over time, he has grown into a man of God and is essentially the finger of justice as Heaven wishes to implement it on earth, and it has come out through the characters Mel Gibson has played and the movies he has directed.  And it all leads to one place, The Resurrection.  To put on film for the first time the wrath and chaos of the Book of Revelation in all its artistic necessity is going to be spectacular and timely. And the movie Flight Risk shows how it is possible.

The Evendale Nazis: Occult attempts to get leverage over political rivals hidden behind historical perspective

I know a lot of people, so I think I would know somebody who would be connected to the Nazi group that tried to cause some trouble in Evendale, Ohio, displaying swastikas and other Nazi imagery in an attempt to ignite a race war.  With their masked faces and an apparent effort to look like Hitler’s followers with nicely pressed clothes that looked fresh off the rack from Party City, my very first thought was that these were a bunch of government workers, probably public school teachers trying to inspire hatred by stirring up people of color to rise and fight against the daily barrage of change from the Trump administration.  It was a pathetic attempt by people who don’t know their history or understand why America is turning away from all this name-calling control and back toward tradition, to cause the kind of social unrest that the national news would cover and convince people to go in a different political direction.  It’s not working; the Marxist left is trying to portray the Trump administration and his conservative supporters as racist Nazi lovers.  The Nazis were always convenient bad guys as established in our culture, and they were, by European standards, socialists and certainly weren’t freedom-loving patriots of small government as the Tea Party movement emerged, and from that, MAGA, which put Trump in office.  These were people who didn’t know their history and who were trying to take the shame of Nazi imagery and control the public narrative of that ignorance.  There is a lot more going on with the Nazis and the administrative state population control behind the memory of that occult-based military takeover of the world that runs much deeper than modern politics.  The swastika, for instance, is one of the oldest occult symbols in the world and has been seen in just about every culture at a time when people weren’t supposed even to be able to build boats large enough to cross an ocean.  The oldest known swastika in the world so far that we have found has come out of Ukraine, 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, in the village of Mizyn.  So there was a lot more going on with these Evandale Nazis than just some government workers trying to cause a media dispute to stop the Trump administration.  It was older, occult-driven, and much more sinister but every bit as stupid.

I know more about the Marge Schott story than I would otherwise care to.  When in 1996, the owner of the baseball team The Cincinnati Reds at that time, Schott, said during an ESPN interview that “Hitler was good at the beginning, but he just went too far,” a crusade to remove her from society began, and all rational thought went out the window.  A decade before she made these comments, I knew Marge Schott through a guy who claimed to be her grandson so that he could try to date my wife, which was a whole story of its own.  Well, Marge didn’t have any kids, and in those days, I knew many people in Marge Schott’s circle of influence, so I could root the guy out for the fraud he turned out to be.  Not that he was any competition to me, but he certainly wanted my wife, and the best way to show what a deceitful liar he was, was for me to show that he was lying about who he was and connect him to a more extensive network of con artists who were pretending to be connected to powerful, wealthy, Cincinnati families to take advantage of innocent, beautiful young girls in the modeling profession.  Through all this crazy activity, I got to know Marge Schott a bit, and I always felt bad for her after the comments she made were used to essentially destroy her publicly and force the sale of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team to a different owner.  It was a clear early sign of woke behavior in using controversy to make public opinion adhere to a political message meant to control the mass population.  Marge said some things that were her genuine opinion, which were being used to control social politics and status in society in general. 

The truth is that many people supported Adolph Hitler, including the royal family of England.  After World War I, after the Treaty of Versailles, the powers that wanted to form an alliance against sovereign nations tried to use the League of Nations to rally everyone to the cause of globalism, and they went too far with the German people.  And that gave rise to Hitler, and many people followed him as a pushback against the first attempt at globalism, just as many of those same forces have tried to do with modern-day Putin and even Trump.  Not that any of these people are alike, other than they run the countries they come from, but the sticking point is that they all received public support for supporting national sovereignty over globalist trends.  When Hitler went “too far,” as Marge Schott meant, he had moved toward mass extermination of the Jewish people, for a whole list of new bad ideas that came from the power that had gone to his head. 

But what is most concerning about the Nazis and Hitler was how they connected the political party to occult practices.  This is why I have been talking a lot over the years about how much of the occult is wrapped into our modern politics, even to the point where the Elohim who work against God are political assets for modern-day Marxist incursions into an otherwise peaceful, and successful society.  The occult use of ancient symbols, such as swastikas, is an attempt to cover up just how much of a relationship many people in the world try to use from the spirit world to invoke their menace on the face of the earth.  Imagine the Genie from the popular Disney movie Aladdin being able to serve whoever rubs the magic lamp and grant wishes to the master.  To occult practitioners, that is a secret weapon they seek diligently. You find it all over modern political movements, a desire to use occult efforts to get leverage over political opponents, and the Nazis showed success in this alliance. Still, because it all went bad, the nature of that relationship was being pushed underground, so general people wouldn’t make the connection.  That’s when things start falling apart socially; in the past, these types of people have been able to invoke Nazi imagery to steer people toward some emotional catastrophe and manipulate society toward those sentiments rather than reveal their true intentions of occult concealment for mass social control.  I saw this happen up close with Marge Schott more than twenty years ago, and now well-ironed cosplay Nazis were running around Evendale trying to start a race war ahead of Trump closing down The Department of Education.  This trick had worked in the past, but people were growing tired of it because the historical references of swastika use were very shallow in the scheme of things.  The Nazis were only the most recent to use them for a relationship with something much more significant and terrifying, the religions of the world that predated human civilization as we know it today, to a time before the earth began, and the ramifications of that are horrendous to those with shallow intellects.  As I say all the time, look where there is war, such as in Ukraine, with many hidden secrets of the past that are there, and you will find people trying to hide that past through violence and emotional diatribes.  And in the case of the Evendale Nazis, we are seeing terrified radical Marxists trying to use events of the past to conceal the real problem that has been exposed by the light of day.

Flooding the Zone: They tried to destroy America, but now the shoe is on the other foot

It’s not because anybody told him to, as critics of President Trump’s furious pace of work are trying to say.  They keep referring to a 2019 statement made by Steve Bannon about flooding the zone with muzzle fire velocity as motivation for Trump to work at such a furious rate.  But what Bannon and other political strategists had been saying was evident as we were uncovering a massive amount of corruption that was looting itself off a government that was supposed to be run by the people of America.  But instead, it was taken over by thousands of cuts, all rooted in predatory lending meant to exploit us all for all they could and to sucker us to our doom.  What needed to be done was evident, and even back in the last decade, many of us, I was undoubtedly one of them, were saying what had to happen, and that was to flood the zone with action that needed to happen quickly, not at a pace of government that was controlled by the people causing all the problems.  The looting of our government was caused by the slow pace of action that our leadership structure could recognize, so was part of the scam.  And as we watched the worst of it, the Covid lockdowns and the election fraud, which was essentially a coup by the fourth branch of unelected government that had no right to exist, we knew what needed to be done if only we’d get another crack at it.  When Trump left the White House in January of 2021, things looked pretty bad, even unrecoverable.  And the newly installed Biden administration was rubbing our noses in it with crazy picks for his administration, sex in public buildings, and the disgrace of the Biden laptop.  Clearly, those hostile to America as a nation, Democrats especially, were cheerleading our destruction, and they were hiding their villainy behind the pace of change that would prevent anybody from stopping them.

Trump and all of us have had four years to think about what should have been done differently in that first term.  We learned who the suckers were in the Republican Party and began to primary them out of existence. But many thought it was too late.  I never did, but I always hoped that things would improve.  Some people think my optimism is a weakness, that I don’t live in reality.  Because, for them, reality is determined by the skill level of the participants.  If you have a bunch of losers trying to change a tire on a car, they will probably do a lousy job of it and even injure themselves.  But if it’s a NASCAR pit crew, changing a tire is not a big deal at all.  They will do it quickly, not hurt themselves with the tire iron, and probably still have time to eat a sandwich.  One thing was clear to me during all this, the world was being run by incompetent fools who would be easy to beat, if only we could Save America long enough to put Trump back in the White House for a second term.  So many thousands of us worked every day to make that happen if only Trump could survive the actual tyranny of a government completely out of control and drunk on power.  If Trump could survive the lawfare, the attempted assassinations, and a hostile global media that did everything it could to keep him in exile, then we just might have a chance.  “Might” is the operative word.  We were going through a period that the history of the world had never seen, so nobody knew what to expect. 

And I would tell people, even three years ago, when Trump is back in office, he’s going to flood the zone to undo all these anti-American actions draped over Washington D.C. and protected by a snail’s crawl of action by corrupt losers like Mitch McConnell.  Trump would have to flood the zone with action, where every day, things were happening that most presidential administrations would have considered to be the most significant things in their presidency.  Trump was going to have that kind of approach every day.  And people would laugh at me and giggle behind my back as if I were some crazy old man yearning for the good ol’ days as the world built highways around him.  Trump committed himself to the cause; if the people of America hadn’t re-elected him, he would be in jail by many of these same criminal government types for the rest of his life, and his family would have had all their future wealth stolen from them and given to the parasites of the world looking for a free handout using the government as the robber of wealth redistribution.  We all hoped that we could restore Trump to his proper place in the White House, and he dug in his heels and took on all comers like a great prizefighter, which is what we were looking for in a President.  He didn’t disappoint us.  I am very proud of Trump.  And I am very proud of the people who had the guts to cast a vote for him and to stand up against some of the worst people ever to show themselves to the human race.  I am proud of America for showing the world the light forward and for surviving this last decade or two, even going back to the George Bush days, and Clinton, and especially the parasitic socialist Barack Obama, the kid from Indonesia who openly tried to destroy America the way Islamic terrorists have plotted and schemed for many years.  We survived, and now it’s our turn to run the world. 

The plan was to destroy America, and many were hostile to our existence, so Trump, in his opening days upon returning to the White House, had to act quickly to flood the zone with action to undo all that had been applied.  So, of course, Trump has signed more than 50 executive orders in his opening weeks to stop the purposeful bleeding that had been going on, and he will continue to do so at a breakneck pace because it was the only thing that was going to save our country.  You only get one chance at this thing, so we must make it count.  We saw the teeth of the enemy, so there is no return to polite society to cohabitate with them, only to facilitate our doom.  It’s not that anybody told Trump what to do as a strategist.  We all knew what had to be done.  We just needed someone with the guts to do it and to have his back during the process, which is where we are now.  Obama used to say that if he couldn’t get Congress to work with him, he had a pen and a phone and would use it to bypass the legislative process. And we have seen that they meant an end to all of us.  So now that the shoe is on the other foot, we have to keep the ball and undo all they tried to implement and restore our country to what it was before all these Marxists of the world put a target on it for destruction.  That means flooding the zone with activity at a furious pace as soon as anything can be done and never looking back.  We have this one chance, and we have to make it count!

Yes, Trump Has to be on Mt. Rushmore: He will go down in history as the greatest leader of all time

No, it’s not too early to discuss President Trump being put on Mt. Rushmore.  In fact, I think he has to be honored in some similar way as he will be remembered forever as the greatest President America has ever had.  And the world will come to know him as the greatest leader of all time, even considering notable personalities from the past.  But honestly, I don’t think there is engineering room for another face on Mt. Rushmore.  Trump will need his own stone carving, and I suggest that the large rocks on the backside of Mt. Rushmore be turned into a full bust of Trump, complete with his suit and tie, known as the profile view.  The Mt. Rushmore complex has room to grow, and it should.  Trump needs his own carving, but it must be in the same general complex.  When the four faces of Washington, Roosevelt, Lincoln, and Jefferson were first put up, the intention was to make Mt. Rushmore much more prominent, showing more of their torsos.  But there wasn’t enough stable rock to pull it off, so we have what we have today.  Lessons learned, we could improve on future monuments.  There are some opportunities on the backside of the current complex to expand and improve how we present these things and remind future generations of significant historical moments.  And once the smoke clears, President Trump will be one of those presidencies that nobody will ever forget and will become the new standard that all presidents will be held to.  It wouldn’t be disrespectful to include Trump in the current Mt. Rushmore complex.  However, Trump needs his deal, specific to what we just went through, and the stone facing on the profile side would allow such a construction to occur without damaging the current monuments. 

How Mt. Rushmore was supposed to look. We need to make Trump’s more like this

I took my family to Mt. Rushmore during the first year of the Biden presidency, and it was quite an experience.  I would call it a religious experience for me.  It was a very dark time.  I am closer to these kinds of things than most people, as I live a very political life.  So having Biden in the White House was very painful for me personally.  As part of my recalibration efforts for my own good, I did a lot of traveling that year.  My wife and I traveled all over the United States to see it and get a sense of what we were fighting for.  You put so much time into some of these things that it makes you wonder if it’s all worth it when you witness the massive election fraud that we saw in 2020.  And the way the public dealt with the Covid rules.  Biden was a disaster, and I couldn’t watch the news with him as the president.  So, I did some major soul-searching and read a lot.  I usually read a few books a week, every week of the year.  But I was reading 3 to 5 books a week during this period.  I couldn’t get enough or read enough as I was thinking about how to get Trump back in the White House, punish all the bad people involved, and set the country right again from my perspective.  Justice had to be done, but what did justice look like?  So, I planned a massive trip with most of my family, kids, and grandkids.  We even traveled on some of these big trips with my wife’s sister, their parents, and all their kids.  It was quite a large traveling party that took on a kind of Cannon Ball Run feel to it as we traveled all over the west, out to Utah and Idaho, and we saw a lot of classic stops over several weeks at a breakneck pace.  But the best place for me was our visit to Mt. Rushmore along the way. 

One of the happiest days of my life

We stayed in Rapid City, South Dakota, for three wonderful days and could see all the sites of that area over that period.  We were traveling by RV trailers, so we had our own community of campers at our campsite that resembled a mini traveling village.  This allowed us to travel nearby Mt. Rushmore freely without pressure and return to talk about all our adventures by nightfall.  After three days in Rapid City, we picked up the entire traveling campsite and migrated to Cody, Wyoming, for another three days at Yellowstone and the surrounding areas.  So it was quite an adventure that involved a chance at a lifetime family event because we all felt the same thing.  The world had been turned upside down by the Biden administration, and we all just wanted to get off the grid for a while and see America, which we thought was worth fighting for.  We had some real life-changing memories around the Mt. Rushmore area; we saw everything, even down into Custer State Park, where we stopped on the road and had a herd of buffalo surround our car and greet us with a lot of affection.  My grandkids will never forget that experience, and looming in the distance, all the while, were the faces of Mt. Rushmore.  It was pretty spectacular.  If you have never been, I would highly suggest going.

The big rock above is where I think a full torso statue of Trump should go. With a full observation park of his own. We need a modern version of Gutzon Borglum to take lead on this

My oldest daughter and I had a particularly special moment at the park bookstore at Mt. Rushmore.  While the rest of our family went to get some snacks and see some of the museum pieces, we bought books.  Lots and lots of books.  I loaded up for road reading at the subsequent campsites I knew we would visit, especially in the desert.  And as I was buying those books, there was a big window that looked out and onto the statues of the presidents, and it was just incredible.  But as I was standing there buying nearly 50 books from the bookstore, so many of them they had to give me boxes to put in so I could get them back to my car, I kept thinking Trump needed to be on that stone mountain.  And it could happen if the complex migrated around to the backside of that current face to make it part of an expansion project.  But without a doubt, Trump would have to be on Mt. Rushmore.  If I were you, I would plan to visit it at your next opportunity.  They will do the fireworks again in 2025, and Trump is all about it.  And just in the first few months of his second term, he has done enough to justify his own monument.  But he deserved that after the first term.  And after all he’s been through, he’s not just one of the greatest presidents ever.  He is the greatest president and deserves his display in that same region so that people of all time can go there as I did and see what America truly is, which is unmistakable once you visit the area.  More people should go there to see the monuments.  If they did, they would understand what we are working to do now and why America must be defended and sold to the rest of the world for their next best option.  It did give me what I needed at a time when the world was a very dark place.  And to see what is happening now with Trump’s second term is a dream come true.  But the question is an unmistakable yes, Trump needs to be on Mt. Rushmore in his own unique way.  It just has to happen.
