The Lords of Phony Money: A Dow Jones at over 40,000 is due to inflation, not actual wealth

It’s by logic more than choice that we have to look toward mobster activity as the playbook for modern tyranny.   It’s not just governments that get away from us that is the concern, which has happened.  However, the genuine concern is the behavior of organized crime and their ability to get away with making easy money at the expense of social peace.  People who are lazy but want to maximize their income through force seek collective associations, whether in unionized labor, elected office, or outright theft.  And this is a problem in any society, especially communism, where the government behaves like any organized crime family.  Only there isn’t a free society to dispute the actions.  In a free society, we can at least talk about it, which is what we do in the United States.  But organized crime goes back to when primitives conspired to bring down a woolly mammoth during a big game hunt for food.  When people realized they could work together to make labor more accessible, they naturally would head in that direction, no matter the endeavor.  Criminal thugs developed during Western expansion to rob trains and banks.  When the government became extensive and organized and started making rules people didn’t want, organized crime formed to meet the public demand at the expense of proper government, as a rival crime family, and the mobsters as we traditionally think of them were born.  But then, progressive society wanted a one-stop shop that would muscle out the crime families as Lords of Easy Money.  Of course, they had good intentions, but who could resist the temptation of money manipulation to satisfy the whims of the wicked and lazy?  And in that case, with an extensive criminal syndicate operating without the scrutiny of a free society, the illusions of power have become quite ostentatious.  And we see the level of corruption that is our present problem. 

Specifically, we’re talking about the money supply, and this is something that too many people, like pornography, enjoy the benefits of to criticize it properly.  However, this current scam of the Dow Jones closing at 40,000 is not good.  It’s a long series of mistakes and lousy policies catching up with us and being sold as a benefit when, in reality, it’s a massive crime no different than a classic bank robbery.  The government is playing the role of Jesse James and the gang of bank robbing barrons.  We shouldn’t expect the government to be anything less than an organized crime syndicate of collective-based losers seeking the easiest path to money and security through force as possible.  It’s human nature.  But here’s the gig on the Dow Jones, the 40,000 number that is preparing to break all records since the Dow opened first in 1885.  It’s an inflationary number propped up by an out-of-control money supply where too much money is chasing too few goods.  So it’s a record indicating a big problem, not an excellent report for everyone concerned about their 401Ks.  It’s like those classic bank robbers who break in and steal all the real money in gold and other assets, then leave behind a bunch of phony funds for the bank to give out to the public to keep them off the trail of the actual theft, and it’s a grave matter.  When Biden tries to claim credit for such a massive theft, done because of organized crime that moved from the local syndicates into the halls of government to commit just these kinds of crimes, he thinks he is throwing us off the trail of the truth. 

The Federal Reserve wasn’t a bad idea when it was first proposed in 1913, but under the best of conditions, it would require diligent management, and that just has not been the case.  The government learned it could print phony money with quantitative easing and apply that to a progressive Modern Monetary Theory, which is essentially the same as the transgender movement of claiming a man and a woman can be whatever sex they want any time they want to.  Modern Monetary Theory believes in debt maintenance by over-saturating the money supply by a government that doesn’t have to live by any rules but can make them up as they go.  This led to this crisis in 2008 with the too-big to fail in Housing that, failed.  So the Fed under Obama pumped a lot of fake money into the system and washed it like the crime families from the mob always did, through legitimate businesses, and pumped all that mess into the local economy.  In this case, the Fed printed a lot of money and dropped it into Wall Street to clean up, which was the role that Larry Fink, the political activist turned money manager for BlackRock, played.  And poof, just like that, a lot of money flowed into our economy, made up essentially on the back of a napkin and distributed as truthful.  But that game only works so long, as inflation is the direct result.  When President Trump took office in January 2017, the Dow was at 19,000 and had been going up since 2015, when it started to become evident that he might become president after years of stalled economic growth by the socialist actions of Obama’s administration.  The prospect of Trump did inspire a legitimate money movement in a positive direction.  But the number of 19,000 itself was phony as a carnival game on a hot July state fair. 

This is how BlackRock, Blackstone, Vanguard, and the rest of these popular money managers have gained so much power that they are buying up many companies with that phony money.  It’s a communist plan to make all property state-run, and this is one way that the organized crime elements of government-run enterprises can inflict a political philosophy into the money supply.  And don’t forget, Janet Yellen is Biden’s advisor on these things, and she is undoubtedly a communist sympathizer from the radical left.  She ran the Federal Reserve for a while and is a member of the World Economic Forum, behind the Covid release and centralized planning for a great reset.  This is all inconvenient to know, just as the porn hustling mobsters used to do behind the 22-year-old topless stripper in a peep show plaza.  People don’t want to think about why she is there and are putting twenty dollar bills in her G-string.  They want to enjoy the sights and sounds of sexual temptation.  Just as they want to believe that their 401K plans are making them a lot of money, but it’s all phony money, run by the Lords of Phony Money, the Fed, and its ties to globalism through international banking.  They have stolen real wealth and left us with fake bank notes and a fake economy propped up by a government that has fallen to the temptations of organized crime.  And to hide their efforts, they hope that full 401K accounts will keep the anger of pitchforks from coming after them until after this next election.  So before you get too excited about any economic news coming from government reporting, you must understand that the game is a crime and they are trying to get away with it.  Not profitability from the stock market participants.  The Lords of Easy Money have been hard at work robbing our wealth from our monetary system. They are not making it better.  And eventually, it’s all going to catch up to them.  Which, to my eyes, has already happened.

The War on Porn and the Hustler Store in Monroe, Ohio: How the political left lied about sex and sophistication–and economic development

Yes, they lied to you when they said that sex peddling was a victimless crime.  When the great argument between Simon Leis and Larry Flint in Cincinnati, Ohio, over smut in the country’s cleanest city became the talk of the world in the 1970s, the crazed owner of Hustler would go to jail for his industry of indecency.  The political left has always tried to use sex as a free speech topic, just as they are doing with pot and transgender issues now.  The radical sex education that we are now seeing in public schools started a long time ago, and the more we let them get away with it, the more they kept coming.  We ended up with a Hustler of Hollywood store in Butler County, Ohio, right down the road from my house.  Larry Flint wanted revenge for all that happened to him as he was prosecuted by Leis and driven in the media over the edge of existence by Charlie Keating.  Flint would do then as he did with President Trump and put out a bounty for any dirt he could get on political figures who stood against him.  And in the case of Keating, he put out publicly, with free speech, a bounty for the rape of Keating’s daughter, which occurred on April 12th, 1977, in Burnet Woods on the University of Cincinnati campus.  I had a front-row seat to all of it, and I remember why Flint said he wanted to put that Hustler of Hollywood at our Butler County Monroe exit.  It was to attack the morality of Cincinnati that they couldn’t stop the porn advocates under the banner of using the First Amendment to undermine our entire society.  And when people traveled down I-75 from the north into the Cincinnati city limits, the first thing they would see was a porn shop run by Larry Flint, which is still standing.

But the story doesn’t end there.  What many people don’t know is that the mob bankrolled Larry Flint, the same crime families that had been running the sex shops and strip clubs in Newport, Ohio, and Covington across the river from Cincinnati.  I have talked about my employment by the mob before, from restaurants on Chester Rd in Sharonville to Mike Fink’s on the river of Ohio, and I can say that even in the 80s, the mob was still very active in cleaning their crime money through legitimate businesses.  The smut business was an easy cover for their other crimes because it attracted the attention of the public.  The FBI was in on the game, too; over time, the mobs became tired of running from the FBI, so they became the leaders, and it all went back to the first top cop, J. Edger Hoover, Bobby Kennedy, and the Beverly Hills Supper Club.  But what kept everyone from digging into the blood-soaked streets that might scare away convention businesses across the river in Cincinnati was that people like Larry Flint were valuable distractions so the mobs could operate without fear of prosecution.   It was just another form of a Cloward and Piven strategy that we see now happening on such a grand scale.  That’s because they learned it from the mobs in Cincinnati and the battles with Larry Flint during the early 70s, 80s, and 90s.  But as Clinton was in the White House, the smut kings felt untouchable.  The internet was coming along but was not yet the free porn provider that it is now, so another business moved in next to the Hustler property in Monroe with the same kind of intentions.  It was Bristol’s topless strip club that was right in the heart of Butler County, off the highway, and became an embarrassment that still permeates to this day. 

From around the mid-1990s until 2010, Bristol’s was a little strip club intent on destroying community values in one of the most family-friendly areas of the entire state, and it was an attack.  I knew many people who went there, and I knew people who worked there.  So, I know pretty explicitly what went on.  In the back of the place, there was a sizeable outside playground where clothing was optional, and anybody could play volleyball with topless young girls.  The place was a major blight on our community in Butler County, and it all started with Larry Flint wanting to desecrate the Cincinnati area’s family values purposely.  But even more so, behind all that was organized crime using porn and compromised men to control them politically.  Because who in their right mind could resist the temptation of 22-year-old girls and their boobies?  Not many, and to this day, most people drive by that location and pretend it’s not there.  Because they are ashamed of what they did there, and they’d love to forget about it; these days, with the government learning from the mob how to control mass populations with porn, it’s free and easy to get on the internet.  But that is another story of destruction that we haven’t yet dealt with.  But when we drive by the Hustler Store in Monroe, Ohio, it’s doing what Larry Flint wanted to do, and that reminds everyone that he was in charge because he was the provider of the forbidden fruit human beings couldn’t resist.  And ultimately, he could control society through their vices.  That’s why the mobsters put Larry Flint up as their front guy.  And he did his job well for them. 

By 2018, the Bristol property had closed and was torn down.  Despite being one of the country’s hottest commercial real estate properties, it remains empty.  Every time I look at it, I think it would be an excellent location for a Love’s Travel Center.  I have been everywhere in the country, and few highways stops are as great as that one in Monroe.  I think I have been to every exit up and down I-75 from Michigan to Florida, I-71, and many along I-70, I-80, and I-90.  And the old Bristol property next to the Hustler of Hollywood location is enormous.  There has been talk of a car dealership moving into the site, but there has not been much activity.  Why? Because it’s a scar from the past when strippers compromised many Butler County men away from their wives and families.  Most people now stop by that highway access port and avoid looking in that direction to avoid shame.  And that is the price of smut on economic activity.  What the political left sold as sophisticated free speech was just a mobster’s position of hiding their crime syndicates with vice and immorality.  And you always end up with a society that has fallen from grace and is empty of resolve, which ends up in a degraded state.  People like Larry Flint were purposefully evil and looking to turn the American Constitution on its head for the destruction of our country and to desecrate anybody who might try to save it from people like him.  And to this day, the effects of that war are still constant reminders of what happened in Monroe, Ohio.  Instead of being a thriving place, which Monroe deserves, it has a haze of guilt over it that makes it come across as just another truck stop exit catering to the needs of lonely truckers and their dirty need for unregulated sex.  And it’s messy, and Larry Flint stuck his sign of smut in the ground for us to forever see.  And he laughed at us as he did it while many men who might have stood against it snuck away from their homes to enjoy the temptations of misspent youth playing nude volleyball within view of the southbound ramp to I-75.  And there was nothing any moralist could do about it because it was a legally protected operation.  The mob had moved into the government, and before anybody could dig too deep, most people were compromised and could not stop it.  These guys played for keeps, and we have the kind of government we do today, primarily because of those efforts by Larry Flint and his Hustler enterprise.  There were a lot of casualties in that smut war, and the guilt of that war is still very much alive and well by the lack of good development at that Hustler site, which continues to hold back economic growth in Butler County that otherwise would have thrived.  Which, of course, answers the question about morality and economic activity.  The political left indeed lied, just as the Bible said they would.  But only too late did anybody realize just how much.

Oh, sure, we’ve all heard it before.  Mind your own business.  Don’t stick your nose of morality into my life.  It’s all about free speech and freedom of choice.  Well, I care about my community, and the decisions of these smut peddlers have lowered the value of property in my community, and I have always taken it personally.  As a legal premise, there is no legal “greater good” over “individual value.”  There is case law that leans away from individual value and favors the greater good, but those arguments are rooted in interpretive mistakes.  Because the same kind of thing is going to happen with pot legalization.  There are consequences for bad decisions, and porn was always a bad decision.  And we can see the results of that bad decision at that Monroe exit.  Sure, people own the property and have a right to do what they want with it.  Until they impact the lives of other people, which is what that history of porn in Monroe has left us all tarnished with.  And is a lesson we should all be learning from and applying to legislation and zoning in the future.

Merrick Garland Needs To Go To Jail: The organized crime of a government run by thugs, criminals, and murderers

Yes, Merrick Garland needs to go to jail.  This procedure to hold him in contempt is important, which Congress is going through now.  Or, however, things turn out, to hold him accountable for his actions in weaponizing the DOJ in favor of Biden, a criminal president in his own right.  The only defense that any of these characters have as a defense against jail is that their political position of anti-Constitutional sentiment seeks to move the goalposts out of the arena, so they are no longer applicable.  Marrick Garlan, Obama, Eric Holder, Hilary Clinton, Mayorkas, Wray, Fauci, Pelosi, Biden, under any premise of a law and orderly society, people like these should be punished in the harshest way possible for their lack of respect for the American voter.  And their purposeful participation in crimes against America and the way they have knowingly used the law as a weapon against their political enemies while daring people to apply those same standards to them.  There has been so much wrong and under normal conditions, especially in the pre-progressive era politics imported from Europe on banana boats and immigrants with Harvard degrees.  It doesn’t get much worse than what Merrick Garland has done against President Trump and against the rest of us who voted for Trump.  There must be punishment for those who commit crimes.  We can’t let criminals use the law to hide crimes, much like mobsters have done throughout history.  What the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, and many other three-letter agencies have done as controlled by modern Democrats in a manner we might point to and call the Deep State has been horrendously corrupt and manically vicious.  In the context of some history, it was purposefully exploited.  When a thug like Merrick Garland becomes the top cop in America, directs the law in a corrupt way, and gets caught.  Then, the law in every manner of justice must be thrown in his direction.

To understand a bit of history here, when mobsters got away with killing JFK and their primary target, Bobby Kennedy, with cold-blooded murders, a new standard was set for government partnerships where the mob essentially moved into government to control the prosecution of their many criminal enterprises.  Suppose you know how Bobby Kennedy went after mob bosses to prove his worth as an Attorney General, the exact role Merrick Garland has now. In that case, you will understand how personal crusades and power abused in that office can quickly get out of control.  Even though I agreed with what Bobby Kennedy was trying to do for his brother’s administration in cracking down on mob activity in America, the abuses of power were ostentatious and quite overt.  J. Edger Hoover, the cross-dressing FBI director who started it all, hated the Kennedys and denied that there was even organized crime occurring anywhere.  He wanted to fight communists, which the mob was happy to see because it got the government off their back.  But as history washed out the results, they were all the same kind of menace. China proved that organized crime hidden behind a communist government could take mob control to national levels, and that is what has been happening in America for most of the progressive political movement, starting with the turn of the last century.  When Hoover had to report to Bobby Kennedy as attorney general and had to go after criminal thugs in the mob, like labor union bosses and shadowy figures in Newport, Kentucky, he was targeted for assassination.  And yes, the FBI knew about it and helped facilitate the killers as a means to perform the task.

Now that we know that Biden’s White House, through Merrick Garland, had plans to invade Mar-a-Lago with deadly force, meaning they hoped that Trump and his people would fight back and be drawn into a shootout, we see years of this behavior culminating in a very modern way.  But when the mob burnt down the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Newport, as a result of all this mob behavior, the media carried the story as some faulty wiring, a playbook of criminal activity using the government and the mob control of the media to divert attention from an unsuspecting public was well underway.  The passive-aggressive position against voters and mob behavior started there, with the killing of the Kennedys, where the powers of government in the White House, where people picked their representative every four years, were manipulated by mob activity that evolved into government power acquired by organized crime.  What Joe Biden has done with his office in selling it, as we see in evidence through his children, is no different than the mob crime bosses known from the rough and tumble days of Newport, Kentucky, where so much mob behavior started.  People associate Chicago with mob mentality, but it was Newport, Kentucky, where much of the practice for the rest of the nation began.  And why it was wrapped up in the killing of President Kennedy and his brother, the Attorney General.  I used to work at the Mike Fink floating restaurant in Covington and the Islands in Newport, and I got to know some of the characters left over from that time.  Just because many people don’t know these stories and don’t want to admit that such corrupt monsters run their legal system doesn’t mean it isn’t happening and that it’s all a conspiracy.  It’s far worse than the conspiracies. The top floor of the FBI has always had a soft spot for organized crime, which the government has become against the wishes of tax-paying voters. 

Merrick Garland has abused his power to cover the crimes of this Biden White House in grotesque ways.  And it’s all been far worse than the killing of the Kennedys and the destruction of the Beverly Hills Supper Club in 1977, which killed many people and was done right out in the open.  Government and organized crime have been locked arm and arm all along.  And we are seeing the results of that relationship explode in front of us to this day, with just some of these characters mentioned.  And it will continue until we stop it.  Merrick Garland has done what he has because he knows this history and thinks he can get away with it because now, in 2024, the most prominent organized crime family are these national communist movements.  China is the largest.  And one trying to form in America which performed a coup against President Trump and is now being led, with the help of the FBI and CIA, by Merrick Garland and his Biden-controlled DOJ.  We know Bobby Kennedy abused the office of the Attorney General to prove to his brother that he was worthy of that lofty job. In that case, you can imagine what low-life characters like Garland, Obama, Biden, and the Clintons would do with all that power to their political enemies.  And knowing all that, we can’t permit it to persist. Otherwise, we have no country or premises from which they have already accepted and are operating.  While many of us still cling to classic notions about law and order and constitutional principles, most people seeking government power do it for the same reasons people joined the mob.  They wanted power and the lifestyle of easy money because they were generally lazy and didn’t want to work too hard at life, so they wanted power to steal money from other people.  And because of that conscious decision, people like Merrick Garland, once caught, and he has, must be punished severely and without remorse so that any concept of justice can live into the future.

Just How Good is Don Jr.: Don’t be surprised to see the campaign signs for 2024 saying “TRUMP/TRUMP”

Not that he needs to hear it, but one of the big topics I talk about in my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, is the concept of “ghosting.”  If you are valuable, do you need other people to know it?  It would be best if you were secure enough in yourself to be good at what you do, whether or not you get recognition for it.  And that is undoubtedly the kind of person Don Jr. is.  I don’t think he gets enough credit for just how good of a patriot he is, and how history will remember him.  His dad soaks up all the headlines, naturally.  But I’ve seen enough out of Don Jr. now to know that he’s doing the things he is for all the right reasons.  And he is certainly secure enough in himself to not be the headliner.  Donald Trump Jr. does things because they need to be done by somebody, and I would argue that without him, his dad, President Trump, probably wouldn’t be able to do what he has been doing.  But for the sake of fairness, I see it.  And so do many others.  When all the smoke clears from these turbulent times, and history is trying to figure out what happened, I think Don Jr.’s name will be one we talk about for many years to come, and how important he was to helping to make things right.  It would not surprise me at all if Don Jr. ends up being the VP pick because as I have said from the beginning.  It’s not enough to win in 2024.  We have to set up 2028 and 2032.  There are horrendous forces out there in the world who want us all dead so we have to get control of our government so it can do the job we need it to do.  And Don Jr. is in this game for keeps at this point.  And he would be perfect to take over and finish what his dad has started.  Don’t be surprised if the campaign signs for 2024 end up being TRUMP/Trump. 

I’ve had a chance to meet and see Don Jr. in person several times now, the latest at Lori’s Roadhouse in West Chester as he was campaigning for Bernie Moreno.  He is very good at what he does and interacting with the public.  But what’s missing from him is the usual pretentiousness of a person born with a silver spoon in their mouth.  Recently, a bunch of knuckle-dragging slugs questioned my judgment, asking me why I thought a person in the business world was worth as much as I said they were.  I didn’t talk about the many businesses this person had started and made much money at.  I didn’t talk about the many community affiliations they were members of.  I didn’t talk about the kind of car he drove or the size of his house.  I replied that he had raised eight children into adulthood, all good kids.  That was the most valuable thing he had done, which was why he succeeded.  You can’t cheat being a good person.  You have to be one.  And you can say the same about all of Trump’s kids.  I’ve met them all at some point, except for Tiffany and Barron.  But what you don’t see coming from Trump, even with all the marriages to different women, is him producing slack-jawed hippie slugs.  A lot of people these days follow the social mandates in parenting much to their detriment.  Don Jr. is undoubtedly his own person, but you know what, he’s a good person, sincerely.   And the MAGA movement is much better because he’s in it. 

Look at Joe Biden’s kids; they are all messes because their father was an idiot.  Many people look at their kids and blame their failures on something that the kids did.  But if you have crappy, no-good kids, it’s likely, (primarily likely,) that they are terrible because you did a lousy job as a parent.  That doesn’t mean that you have to be a perfect person.  Trump would never claim to be an ideal person.  But if you care and work healthily with kids, teaching them right from wrong, they can grow up and be fantastic, as Don Jr. is.  His brothers and sisters are, too, and Eric and Eric’s wife Lara are just wonderful people who are working hard to make the Republican Party better than it was.  And the public does not see much of what they have been doing.  There is very little pretentiousness in any of them.  You don’t hear from any of the Trump kids, “Do you know who I am?”  They show up at places and do the work year after year and have built an excellent network supporting their father, the frontman.  But when President Trump isn’t doing it anymore and finally retires, those kids’ work will resonate well into the future.  And I feel they will always be involved in politics because they want to Make America Great Again, whether in front of or hidden like ghosts in the pages of history.

Don Jr. could be doing a lot of things with his life.  But he spends almost every hour of his day making America Great Again.  I catch him doing his podcast and giving interviews on other podcasts throughout the week at all hours of the day because his heart is really in it.  He’s not hoping to get his dad into the White House so he can become “richer.”  The good thing about the Trump family is that they have already tasted success in life.  Daddy Trump prepared his kids for life on top of the social pyramid, and they didn’t lose themselves the way so many other children of successful people did.  When success is the focus, not the family, it ends up screwing up the kids.  But when you are sincere in what you do, and success is the byproduct, the kids learn the right things along the way and can handle it.  And because of the way that President Trump raised his kids, we are fighting to save America today in ways that wouldn’t otherwise happen.  Don Jr. has quite a cast of characters working in the background while his dad draws all the cover fire.  And it’s not lost on me just how vital those background characters are to the future.  Democrats do not have such a network of characters.  They are hanging onto the past, while the Republican Party has all the new growth.  And a lot of that new growth can be attributed to Don Jr.  President Trump didn’t just roll out of bed and have all this great network of support that has pulled together in such a healthy way as we are seeing.  The most significant trait of a leader is to do as Don Jr. has done.  Whether or not you get the social credit for the action is irrelevant.  Who cares what some dumb fool thinks of you?  The question that must always be answered is, did you do what you did because it was right?  And Don Jr. can always say yes.  And his father taught his kids the difference, which good parents tend to.  But when kids go wrong, as Joe Biden and his kind often do, there is always a good reason.  It’s not a mystery.  It’s because they were terrible people.  And bad people make bad kids.  You can never cheat the results of a child who spends so much time with you in their life.  You can’t hide it from them if you suck.  When you look at Don Jr. and meet him, you learn a lot about how good his dad was.  And you naturally want America to have the same opportunity.  The ghost is always the most powerful position on the chessboard.  We play the pieces.  But the ghost plays the game.

Beating the Government Mob: It’s all about the down-ballot races

Yes, Trump is going into areas where typically Democrats have dominated, such as his massive rally in New Jersey.  Trump is going to do a rally in New York and other places Republicans gave up on a long time ago, not just as some vanity project, but because he’s working on a more significant issue, and going into those areas is how you bolster not just the Executive Branch, but the House and Senate too.  I verified it myself, as I have been saying since the last election.  I’ve been to heavy Democrat areas and do not see any enthusiasm about President Biden anywhere.  It’s one thing to say that there was election fraud.  It’s another to prove it, and there is no way to explain why a person who was supposed to get 81 million votes can’t be found to have any enthusiasm from the public.  Well, that’s because the public didn’t pick him.  Biden was picked for people, and they resent it even more now than they did in those cold first few months of 2021 when Biden replaced Trump in the White House.  Lots of people who count the votes and are hostile to America put Biden in place with election fraud, and to understand that, I will tell stories about Cincinnati in the weeks and months to come where the mob ran just about everything, specifically the battle between Simon Leis and Larry Flynt which come to mind.  The two men were military veterans, but in Leis, he was a patriot who bleeds red, white, and blue to this very day.  Flynt wanted to destroy America after his term in the military, and he spent his life on an openly destructive crusade to kill our nation in any way possible.  Living in Cincinnati, I had a front-row seat, but to understand election fraud and the forces that put Biden in office over Trump, the efforts are the same.  The only difference is the scale, and this is why Democrats want power and want to keep people off their turf.  And why Republicans typically don’t go into hostile territory.

Even though the mob-controlled much of the entertainment activity in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati through most of the war years, from the Red Scare of the 30s in post-prohibition times, and the government imposed Great Depression, through World War II and Vietnam, until the period where the mobsters got tired of fighting prosecutors like Simon Leis, and decided to move their operations into government, which is why you don’t hear about them in quite the same way now.  They permeate behind communist efforts and global socialism, but the concept is the same.  And this must be talked about to understand why nobody supports Biden, yet he’s in office and Trump isn’t.  When I think about the situation, I think of how Simon Leis stayed in office as a patriotic prune that the progressives who wanted global communism behind the hippie movement wanted to destroy completely.  That was because people understood that the mob was in control, and Leis was willing to fight the mob and win.  And it was the mob who bankrolled Larry Flynt as a front for their many other crime organizations.  In many ways, we are fighting the mob in a modern form as they have given up their turf wars and have now joined together within the context of our government.  But it’s the same game as it always was.  And where Simon Leis remains alive and well in Cincinnati going into his 9th decade, Trump has become the same kind of patriotic character for the entire nation.  And what we are up against is much worse than what was going on between Cincinnati and Newport, where even Bobby Kennedy targeted the Cleveland Four as his national crusade against the mob who certainly could care less about our right to self-rule and the rules of our Constitution.

Trump had to battle crime families and labor unions in New York, so he understands how to deal with this government mob.  And he knows that their power comes from turf control of regional areas where blue cities count the votes.  So the goal is to inject enough patriotism into those areas so that you take away the ability to cheat in those regions.  Looking at precinct maps of the previous election, the percentage spikes are obvious where election fraud occurred.   So, by disrupting those areas and their control over the regional population, Trump may not win those areas against Biden. Still, he can help the down ballots, where all the meat and potatoes are in this election.  We know there was election fraud, and the power of these government mobsters is in control of the regional areas, which is how they stack the deck.  However, the Trump and MAGA movement, in and of itself, is very similar to the fight between Simon Leis and Larry Flynt.  In that case, smut and pornography were used to hide the other criminal elements of the mass amount of normal mob business.  In this modern sense, it is progressive causes, such as racism, woke values, and trends of communism, as conducted by China through finance.  While many of us are looking at one thing, such as the unfairness applied to Trump by this far-left legal system, going all the way into the Bar Association, the real crimes of power occur in broad daylight, such as the fake war with Russia and Ukraine all to clean money through the effort toward the aims of territory control of those regions.  It’s the same game. 

Republicans could pick up at least ten seats in Congress in 2024.  And the Senate is a pretty wild ride.  It is leaning Democrat for now, but there are at least 5 or 6 races that could give a firm majority to MAGA Republicans.  But we need every last one to get those elected, like Bernie Moreno in Ohio and Kari Lake in Arizona.  That’s why it would not be wise to take a person who might otherwise be a good Republican senator, like J.D. Vance, and make them a VP pick, which takes them off the table for controlling the Senate.  We need to do more than elect Trump back into the Executive Branch.   We have to take control of the mobsters who run the Deep State.  Trump can best help himself in that effort by campaigning in areas controlled by that mob to free the people there in much the way Simon Leis did in Cincinnati in his smut war against Larry Flynt, which he mostly won.  Cincinnati is the model for how to save America from those same forces.  And in the coming months, I will spend a lot of time telling those stories so people can relate to the modern context.  The only difference is scale.  So, Trump’s campaigning in Democrat-controlled areas is more than a novelty.  It’s about overcoming the cheating machines in those areas to keep Democrats in office with high-engagement voters.  Trump has the personality to do that.  And in so doing, he will help take over the House and make a significant play for the Senate.  For those who think that voting doesn’t matter, the mob wants you to believe that.  That’s how they have continuously operated, taking hope away from innocent people who want to live their lives.  But they aren’t all-powerful, and their mechanisms can still be defeated, as they were in the past.  It just takes good people to stick up for themselves and to run these hoodlums back into the shadows to which they belong.

When People Insist on Doing Evil: Lobbyists in Washington D.C., who really run everything

One of the problems of government is that it is unreasonable to expect humanity to follow the laws of other men if they don’t follow the rules of God.  If the basic Ten Commandments and the idea of a God Yahweh don’t bring people together toward a common cause, then what would?  And why would anybody be expected to behave themselves without some moral foundation formed by anything but fear?  How can you build a society out of fear of punishment from a centralized society of totalitarian monsters?  And when you have a society without such moral parameters, why do people fail to work against their essential intellect?  I’ve told this story about K-Street before, but it’s worth a few new shiny observations relative to where we are in 2024 politics.  But essentially, I think it was in 1997 when I was invited as a VIP to be a part of a literary conference at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. for the Joseph Campbell Foundation.  But I had two young kids then, and my wife didn’t want to go.  But I dragged them along anyway because it was an important event, and we arrived at our Days Inn hotel at 2:30 AM on a Friday.  When you arrive anywhere in the world, you see what kind of society you are interacting with, by the people’s behavior, with any assumptions of goodness stripped away.  How do people behave when they think that people aren’t looking or will judge them?  At that time and place, I learned a hard lesson about the human race that nobody had warned me about.  But I did understand the nature of the problem in Washington D.C.  It is filled with people away from their lives, wives, and public scrutiny, and they couldn’t resist the temptations of a modern Sodom and Gomorrah.  Just as humans have always fallen from grace, they could not provide proper management to achieve a society where justice was the axis on which everything rode around. 

Those old Bible stories are more than cautionary tales passed down through Western Civilization to impose capitalism on a world trying to steer their societies toward communism.  They are vital observations of time and what works toward a productive society and what doesn’t and are essential to building a prosperous society.  When America did so without globalist ideas of corruption contaminating our legislative system, it worked best, and the Bible was a great reference point to learn and build such a moral and correct society.  And so it was, we arrived in Washington D.C. just a few blocks from the White House.  Bill Clinton was still the president, and my wife and I hated him.  Let me clarify that.  We considered Bill Clinton Hell on earth in moral depravity.  And we liked Hillary Clinton even less.  The Lewinsky scandal was heating up at that time, but we were already anti-Clinton supporters because of Paula Jones and the Whitewater deal.  So that’s where we were politically.  Back home, we were in a major turf war with local drug dealers who were working with the Mason police department to sell drugs in a home across the street from our house, and I had the mayor involved, and the FBI, and all kinds of crazy characters that was getting very ugly.  It was a rough period in our lives, so when we arrived in Washington, D.C., we had no compunction for nonsense, and what we saw immediately was nothing but.  We expected a lot more from our capital, even with what we knew about the Clinton administration. 

All up and down K-Street, pimps and hookers were working vigorously.  I had to try to convince the hotel staff to let us in the garage because, essentially, K-Street was a war zone, and they did not permit people in and out of their garage after 10:30 PM because they encouraged their residents to be in their rooms and safe by then.  We arrived late because I had to work that day, and we left for Washington after my completed workday; we arrived late after their regular operating hours.  So there were my kids and a furious wife, and I mean furrriiiioooouuuusssssssss, sitting in the car waiting for me to convince the hotel guy to open the parking garage under the hotel below street level.  As all this was going on, women, mostly nude, were working the street and getting in and out of cars every few minutes.  Sex acts were as common as snowflakes in a blizzard.  The people in the cars picking up the girls were lobbyists, attorneys, and political figures in nice clothes, cars, and public decorum.  These were not heroin addicts.  But ordinary, everyday people who were away from their families and acting like there was no tomorrow when faced with the seduction of temptations of the flesh.  The police drove up and down the street like this was a typical day.  I had thought that prostitution was illegal, but obviously, not.  It reminded me of the same kind of characters back home in Mason, Ohio, where I was involved in a drug war.  People wanted drugs, and I was in the way, and it got very hairy.  And here we were in Washington, D.C., at what was supposed to be a respected forum at the Smithsonian, and it was the opposite of good in every way.  Once we got to our rooms, we found out there wasn’t any milk for my kids to be found, and at 3:30 AM, they needed it to get to sleep.  So I went out on the town to find some milk and to say it nicely, it was a war zone with overturned cars, gangs, thugs of every kind hanging out everywhere.  And all this was just a few blocks away from the Capitol Building.

I returned with the milk, but my wife was upset because all I could find was vitamin D milk, and not the usual 2% my kids expected.  So it was a rough trip and a really hard night.  The store where I bought everything looked like a warzone from Beirut.  The thugs outside ran the street and items inside the store were thrown all over the ground.  I couldn’t believe I actually found a gallon of milk of any kind at that hour of the morning when the thieves and scum bags had not yet looted it.  And the cashier at the counter was used to all this.  It was just another night for him.  A few hours later, just after 7 AM, as we headed over to the Smithsonian to meet with the people I was there to see, everything had returned to normal, and the professional class had retaken over the city.  All the thugs were gone and the people looked sharp and witty, like everything looks on TV.  It was a grand delusion run by vast evil at the expense of sanity.  And I have never forgotten it.  But, what was most disgusting was that you realized the entire town ran on evil because they wanted to do evil.  They tried to break the law and given just a little chance to do so, they were more than willing to do it.  And if the people who ran and lived in that vile city were willing to do such horrendous things because the prostitutes and pimps were not there on their own, then what evil were they all capable of?  The drug dealers, the strip joints, the open crime that was everywhere, they weren’t the cause of the crimes.  They just facilitated the desire of our society’s various lobbyists and cutthroats.  If they were so willing to break any laws, let alone God’s laws, there was no way to manage proper behavior.  And society would fall apart every single time.  That is a particular problem with Democrats who do not believe in God, generally.  And think they can replace the idea of god with government.  But then, what keeps their society obeying laws without the fear of punishment that comes from everlasting damnation?  And what keeps lobbyists from running our political system with the promise of easy money sprinkled into polite society?  Most people pick easy money every time because they abandon the concept of law and order due to the lure of temptation.  And their entire lives then become compromised in every way that they exist, and there is no hope for them.  Then, until a society realizes that it needs to construct a morality based on an eternal view of existence, there is no other means to regulate a society intent on justice, fairness, and productivity.

The Definition of War: Yes, there are many enemies at war with America, and us

Before you can fix something, you must admit there is a problem.  One of the concealment strategies utilized against our nation is the reality of what has been done to us.  No matter what level of evil we are talking about, which I would say is innate and subconscious, well beyond the scope of human interaction, reality is well-defined if you apply the correct definitions to things.  And that is that America has been at war with many characters who run various groups intent on our destruction, and it’s been that way from the beginning.  And like the Trojan Horse of Troy, the villains purposefully disguised their efforts to catch us all off guard, and they have done that by hiding their malice behind polite society.  And the war they have declared on us resided beyond our social definitions of human behavior.  But yes, we have to understand what’s been happening to us with definitions that matter, and that is grappling with the concept of war and the fact that our enemies are numerous and vicious.  And they are plotting our doom moment by moment and quickly if they can’t make a lot of money off us.  They seek to destroy us for all we’re worth.  Classically, the definition of war is “to overcome the enemy’s will to resist.”  As I saw the stock market results for the second week of May 2024, I didn’t see good news for 401Ks and family planning.  I saw a strategy to put people back to sleep because Joe Biden is losing in the upcoming election, and the enemies of America are attacking our culture with a clear strategy to remove our desire to resist what it is they want to do to America, and that is to convert our entire culture to globalism, Chinese communism style.  And the stock market is just one of their many weapons in the ways that the world is at war with America, and us as its caretakers. 

This is money created through inflation. Not the actual profit of true value. Fake money printed by the Fed to protect Biden from the reality of horrendous fiscal policy in an election year.

Now I get it; people just walking their dog and thinking of a two-for-one special at their local smorgasbord think of war as our involvement in Vietnam.  Or, Iraq.  War involves military action by governments intent on that purpose.  In the past, a general representing a nation or some other sovereignty directed soldiers on a battlefield toward suppressing the enemy and designing victory from a surrender once an overwhelming force had been established and utilized toward victory parameters. Upon such wins, people fly their flags and feel good about their nation’s victory against other countries, much the way we think about sports teams that we cheer on who win.  In that way, war is thought of as something that happens “over there” and is done by “other people.”  We don’t think of ourselves and our lives as being at war because our enemies use the concealment of the true definitions of things to perform their malice.  One way to do so is to subdue people away from their defense of a nation by changing their definitions of what war actually is and why people would be or would not be interested in having war to defend something they value.  The enemies of America, as we have seen often recently, overtly out in the open, is to destroy our desire to resist anything, such as in the transgender movement where even the concept of a boy and a girl is in dispute.  To our enemies, it’s not the sexuality involved that is the issue but the ability to corrupt even simple definitions so that significant attacks are never seen by a society that has lost its ability to have a conceptual faculty.

For instance, the good news that is not such good news on the Dow Jones closing at over 40,000 for the first time in history is a kind of Trojan Horse intent to sneak the enemy deeper into our culture while disguising it as something beneficial to us.  Many people do not realize how powerful BlackRock as a financial institution is in the performance of this scandal, which is relatively simple.  The Federal Reserve, through monetary easing using a clear strategy of Modern Monetary Theory, is doing precisely what crime syndicates have done since the beginning of time, and what is happening now with the war machine pumping large amounts of money into Ukraine behind a fake, and provoked war effort with Russia, and that is to wash illegal money through a legitimate business to give it the illusion of validity.  Not to mention that this practice is the cause of inflation, which is too much money chasing too few goods, and that even with more money in your pockets, it is worth less in what it can buy.  The sudden jump of the Dow over 40,000 isn’t about making money but printing more to represent the same value at a much lower value.  But it’s all disguised to give the illusion of profit by hiding the inflation behind a historic milestone.  In this case, the Fed dumped money into BlackRock and other Wall Street firms to have them distribute the money as if it were real into the economy through person-to-personal investments in the form of 401Ks and other financial strategies to prop up the economy with fake numbers to help Biden not take the blame for the impact that globalism has had on American sovereignty. 

This financial game is just one way in which the enemies have sought to suppress American understanding of the war that has been conducted against them.  Another means of such vile menace is in pornography.  Through the internet, porn has been made accessible to the public to weaken our resolve toward a just and moral society.  By attacking those values and the family creation that often comes from successful family relationships and the production of children who are healthy and independent, the governments of the world have purposely sought to corrupt our intellects so that we wouldn’t be able to resist them in war.  But would instead be addicted to vices of destruction meant to take away our will to resist their intentions.  When you understand how “they” are attacking us, you can know that much of what we do and what happens to us is the result of war, and the intentions of our enemies are pretty vicious and maniacal.  Most of what we experience daily is an act of war against us hidden behind definitions meant to conceal their strategy and keep us from seeing what they have been up to.  And we are stopping them from doing it.  For them, the best thing to do is take away even the reality of seeing what had to happen to resist their desires, which is our destruction, after they have made a lot of money off us in the process.  This has been going on for a long time, and it’s certainly not just a current thing.  Only the plot has been revealed in ways they have lost control of the narrative, and people are talking about it in ways they never dared to before.  But war is our reality, and it’s not something we can hide behind some soldier’s ethical code of battlefield conduct.  This is coming into our homes and neighborhoods disguised in ways we don’t think of as threats of war.  But you can bet they are every bit as such and worse.

Roger Reynolds Has His Conviction Overturned on Appeals: When people like Fat Alvin use the power of government to destroy political rivals

It was a rigged, political case in Butler County. And the prosecutors wasted a lot of tax money on a personal hit job.

I wish people would listen.  I feel like that frustrated parent who has all the answers but has to stand by and watch their kids make dumb mistakes that cause them much pain and suffering anyway.  And if you care about everyone, it can be a harrowing experience.  But essentially, from the beginning, the prosecution against Roger Reynolds, the popular Butler County Auditor, was as flimsy of a case and motivated by the same intentions as the Fat Alvin case in New York against President Trump.  These are purely political cases where the prosecutors are trying to use legal warfare to take out political rivals.  In this case, it was elements of the Republican Party in Butler County, even extending into the Attorney General of Ohio to exert power and position within the party.  It had nothing to do with any actual crimes committed.  Roger Reynolds found himself having the law used against him in a weaponized format, something that happens more often than people would like to think, over disagreements regarding family connections and how tax money is spent, just theorizing on such spending.  And for that Roger Reynolds has had to pay a fortune in legal bills, lose over three years of his life professionally, during his prime income-building years, and was popularly elected into a very powerful auditor position only to be removed from office because of a conviction on a last minute charge tossed over the fence to attempt to get anything to stick against him to get a jury to put him in jail for 30 days and ruin his political career for the rest of his life.  The case had nothing to do with justice but everything to do with power, who controls the legal system, and how they can then use it to take out political rivals.  And nothing more.

On Monday, May 13th, 2024 after many years of fighting for his innocence, a 10th District Court of Appeals in Columbus reversed the conviction against Roger Reynolds from a few years earlier, bringing somewhat to an end the long ordeal that started for him back during Covid when some of the people from Roger’s office as auditor stopped coming to work over Covid rules.  Now I get Roger’s position. I’ve talked to him about it, and I am even more traditional regarding the COVID rules for employment.  Doctors don’t run our economy and when they stuck their noses into our business with all these new globalist Covid rules, they were way over the line.  It was the job of science to figure out how to stop COVID-19 and its spread with science.  Not to shut the world down with a bunch of new rules to establish a new normal.  And some of these kids then, and now, thought that meant they could all work from home to avoid spreading the virus.  When Roger had to deal with that trend in his office, he let people go for not coming to work, and that made people mad.  People then promised their family members that they had the power of the law at their back and could get revenge on Roger.  At that point, an attendance issue then became a big labor one where communist policies seep into the assumptions of a government workforce, and the power of government is then weaponized against that assumption. 

At that point, Sheriff Jones made it his mission to go after Roger Reynolds, spend money on investigations, and waste a lot of money in court proceedings to destroy Roger Reynolds’s life in court.  Many different charges were thrown in Roger’s way, with the power of the Attorney General being added to the mix, trying to make the former auditor look like a corrupt official who had abused his power of office for personal gain.  But nothing was sticking, and Roger was found innocent of all charges.  At the last minute, this issue with Lakota schools and a country club golf connection came up, and Roger suggested to the treasurer that some tax money being returned to the school be applied to a venture that he thought would be a good idea.  It was just a discussion about how to spend tax money.  But Sheriff Jones and the prosecutors threw the weight of their office to destroy the life of Roger Reynolds in precisely the same way that Fat Alvin has been doing to Trump.  Over the last few years, we’ve seen it happening more and more as these same tactics have been used nationwide.  It has been the collision of why people pursue big government jobs to have immense power over innocent people, which is the problem.  When government is sought and used to give power to people who otherwise wouldn’t have it, abuse of government then becomes the subject, and the warning of why we never want to give any people, no matter who they are, too much power through government to abuse others over a quest for power.  In most cases, even if the prosecutors get a conviction, they are being overturned on appeals.  But by the time a defendant spends years trying to prove their innocence, their lives are destroyed in the process.  So, even if they don’t go to jail, they are destroyed in the process.  Now that Roger Reynolds has had his conviction overturned, where does he go to get his reputation back?

I am proud to call Roger Reynolds a friend through all this.  I’ve told him this when I’ve seen him throughout this process.  I am proud of how tough he has stayed in proving his innocence.  I want to see him get back into elected office and do good work because when political enemies see you as that much of a threat, I want to see people like Roger sticking it to those powers to keep things honest.  I would hire Roger Reynolds before and after this appeals ruling because Roger is one of the good guys.  And in a world run by evil and malicious people, like Fat Alvin in New York is against Trump, they are the ones who need to be punished and be fired from government work whenever possible.  I remember the day the indictments came down against Roger and the people who called me to talk about it, very haughtily.  These were small-government conservatives who were impressed with Sheriff Jones’s power to drum up charges to essentially take down a rival within the Republican Party.  And I was surprised how many people played along with it because it was wrong.  I knew it was a crooked case from the beginning because I knew all the people involved and understood the rivalry in ways that weren’t reported in the media.  But what surprised me was how vicious the ordeal became, where the lawyers were the only ones who profited.  They are pleased to have millions of dollars wasted on their services over an issue that essentially was just a family rivalry within a political party.  And this is why we must always watch how people use government power, and why we can’t give too much of it to any one person.  Because they can’t handle the temptation to abuse it.  However, in the case of Roger Reynolds, he was always innocent of those ridiculous charges.  And it’s fantastic that the appeals court saw the case for what it was and reversed the conviction.  Justice still works, even if it takes a while, and a lot of money has to be spent on it to get it.  Let’s go back to dueling, as I say more often.  It was a lot cheaper, and the real bad guys usually went away, saving taxpayers a lot of money in the future.

A Love Letter to America: Season 5 of ‘Yellowstone’

Now that I have watched the Yellowstone series it has confirmed something that I had suspected, which made it a more urgent project.  There is a lot more going on with it than just an entertaining television show.  Taylor Sheridan and the gang are making a point and they know who their audience is, which was obvious at the start of Season 5 if you know what you are looking for.  Of course, Yellowstone is the popular television show for Paramount Plus, which many have called a love letter to the MAGA political movement.  Over the various seasons, Sheridan and the gang obviously struggled with this impression.  After all, they are Hollywood lefties and they didn’t want to be viewed by their peers as a bunch of radical right-winged lunatics.  However, the show has become increasingly popular over the five seasons because the topic of a modern Western has captured the hearts and minds of an audience hungry for content that represents their concerns.  Taylor Sheridan has become a scorching commodity since all the shows he’s producing suddenly are doing very well, not just with Yellowstone, but also the spin-off shows like 1883, 1923, and Bass Reeves.  There are more in the works, but these are all excellent shows, and in my wildest dreams, I never thought I’d see them on television.  They remind me of the old westerns I grew up with, like Gunsmoke and Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie, and I didn’t think Hollywood could produce anything like that ever again.  However, with Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner, along with others, there is a revolt against Hollywood that has been going on in Montana and Texas, which has its own kinetic energy that is giving voice to America, which is crying out for its own existence. 

If you’ve ever dealt with Hollywood types you will know that they are cosmetically, outright Marxists.  But around the catering truck, they are like everyone else.  They are mostly Marxists because they have to be to get work, and the financiers of their projects want global communism; otherwise, their projects don’t get greenlit.  But on rare occasions, sometimes you can flip the script on that process, and when someone like Taylor Sheridan is successful, the greed factor takes over, and the finance people forget about Marxism and turn to the glitter and glory of massive profit, which is one of the great attributes of capitalism.  Yellowstone is not a show that could have been made for state-run television.  It is a love letter to the foundation of America, and it is oozing in patriotism.  With the success that Taylor Sheridan has found with these projects, he is moving in a more obvious direction politically, which is similar to what we’ve seen with Elon Musk, President Trump, and Joe Rogan, all people who voted Democrat but have changed over time, based on what they have seen.  At the beginning of Season 5, when John Dutton becomes governor of Montana to essentially save his ranch from developers who want to build an airport, during the swearing-in scene, there is a long pause before putting his hand on the Bible, where Kevin Costner is throwing obvious red meat to the Hollywood community.  The purpose of the scene was to show that the Yellowstone production had not gone native and thrown their lot in with God, even though Kevin Costner does end up doing so and swearing to protect the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic.  But the scene’s purpose, even if Taylor Sheridan will never admit to it, was to throw the Hollywood Reporter types into a tailspin of doubt.  Because the rest of the season, the next eight episodes are a love letter to American life that I never thought I’d see in a Hollywood production again. 

In real life, Sheridan and much of the cast have found themselves enamored by the majesty of the flyover states, which has rarely happened to famous Hollywood personalities.  And rather than hiding from it, they have embraced it more.  In the case of Sheridan, he has bought ranches and is desperately trying to tell the story of everyday Americans in this struggle with a true phantom menace of Marxism without calling it that.  There are many parts of Season 5 in Yellowstone where Beth Dutton, the daughter of John Dutton and the apparent future of the show, delivers some of the best pro-American lines that have ever been done in entertainment, on the level of Clint Eastwood and John Wayne.  And they were possible because of that setup of ambiguity at the start of the season with the Bible.  Usually, with these kinds of projects and the success that comes with them, any romantic notions that a producer like Taylor Sheridan receives take the ambition out of the projects, and they become more corporate as more people are interested in attaching themselves to the success.  But not here; Yellowstone has become more authentic.  And even though they probably find the idea repulsive, Yellowstone is more MAGA in the notion of Make America Great Again.  They may not want to admit that they like President Trump.  However, they are after the same things Trump and his supporters wish for in life.  We want our country, and we want to love it.  America is speaking and doing so loudly at the heart of the Yellowstone series and all the Taylor Sheridan projects. 

I don’t think Yellowstone planned to be this way from the beginning.  But what it has ended up becoming, and Taylor Sheridan himself, is an authentic love letter to the creation of America.  As I became more interested in these Taylor Sheridan shows, I caught him on a podcast with Joe Rogan talking about the western 1883 and the genuine plight of a new nation needing to fulfill the needs of Manifest Destiny, where advertisements around the world were begging people to come and settle America for a piece of it.  And much of the world, under various forms of tyranny and the early versions of Marxism, wanted more than anything to have a piece of their own life, even if it meant having to come and fight Indians to the death just for the opportunity.  Taylor Sheridan, throughout his various television series, is grappling with this problem, and it all leans toward the reasons America needed to exist in the first place and is stepping away from the Hollywood Marxism that has so ruined entertainment to its present condition.  And because of all that, people love Yellowstone and the other Taylor Sheridan projects.  I am indeed a fan.  There is some real heart in what is being produced around the Yellowstone series, much better than The Godfather or Dallas, which it has been compared to.  Yellowstone is a love letter to America that has needed to happen for a long time.  And it’s a story told by people going through their own transformation into patriotism.  I have always been conservative.  But I am happy to see more people becoming that way as they learn the real history of America, even if it takes success to free them enough to have that point of view.  Watching Yellowstone is worth the effort to get to Season 5.  And whatever happens in the future with the show, what has happened up to this point can’t be undone.  It’s part of America’s story now; and many people will be better because of it.

It Shouldn’t Take Kristi Noem to Teach America How to be a Man: The future will be far tougher than just shooting a sick dog

The story about Kristi Noem’s dog doesn’t change anything for me regarding her qualifications to be the Vice President with President Trump.  There are two main things that a VP will need to do for Trump: defend his plan for MAGA, which she has been doing.  And to establish a continuity culture that will continue for another eight years after Trump leaves the White House this next time.  Someone will need to work with the Trump family for the future of politics and everyone out there with the right brand to do so; it is Kristi Noem who is the best for that need and its fulfillment.  The Guardian newspaper in England is aware of where Kristi’s name is on the selection list, so they read her new book No Going Back and twisted the story around about the dog that she had shot many years ago, hoping it would have an adverse reaction from the public and steer Trump away from picking her.  Based on everyone’s response to that story, I think Trump should pick Kristi Noem more than ever.  Reading that section of the book myself and comparing it to what the radical leftists out there think about it, it’s clear that Kristi Noem is just the right person for the VP job, and this character assassination thing against her needs to backfire in a spectacular way.  I personally like Kristi Noem.  And I like the idea of Kristi Noem being close to the White House and having the potential to be the first woman president.  We know someone will be the first, and the way that Kristi Noem represents America, she would be a great opportunity.  She has been a fantastic governor in South Dakota.  And she knows how to present herself on a national, even an international stage. 

People’s reaction to the Noem story about the dog was most astonishing, though.  Kristi had a dog that was out of his mind and not getting better.  That happens sometimes, especially on farm life, where many animals come and go, and sometimes you get a dog that just doesn’t get it.  And you have to get rid of the dog.  Both of my grandparents were farmers, so I understand farm life better than other people; I know what it’s like to bale hey and what it feels like to get a call in the middle of the night to give birth to a calf.  And I’ve seen many hundreds if not thousands of animals killed either for food or to prevent them from eating the products of a farm.  But farmers are some of the best conservationists in the world, and many animals have a far better life on a farm than they would in the wild, so in the context of farm life, Kristi Noem’s story about her problem causing dog is consistent with all of rural America.  And that America is part of Making America Great Again, which is why Kristi told that story.  The dog was killing other animals and biting people, so she had to do what was done at the end of the movie Old Yeller, and that was to take the dog out back and shoot it.  It used to be people could watch the movie Old Yeller, produced by Disney, and they could relate.  But now, there are lots of these urban dwellers who have grown up as dependent Democrats who have just lost touch with reality, and that Guardian story was intended for their ears as much of the American media picked it up and ran with it.  I’d say that what happened only proved a point I have been making about the differences in those who support Trump are far different from those who have global communism in mind, and the Trump supporters far outnumber those who want big daddy government communism to rule their life from top to bottom.

But it was Clay Travis who had the most surprising reaction to the Noem story for me.  Here is a guy who was picked to fill in the radio void of Rush Limbaugh and lives in Nashville, well outside the media loop culture of Fox News, where he is very well respected as a voice of the future. He loves sports and is a classic man by today’s standards.  But he was really emotional about this dog story.  For him, it was a deal killer.  I listened to him talk about dogs and his love of them, and I was shocked that he was such a beta man.  Not that shooting dogs prove your manhood, but it’s an urban context.  Don’t people realize how cruel the world is for dogs?  How many dogs end up in shelters?  I have picked many dogs from the pound over the years; some worked out great, and some did not.  But I have had to put a lot of dogs to sleep.  Now I live in an area where putting dogs to sleep is easy.  It’s more preferred than shooting a dog when they get sick beyond repair or go bad mentally, which happens as it did in the Old Yeller movie.  But when you live in rural America, as Kristi Noem has on her ranch, and the nearest medical facility for dogs is an hour or more away, shooting the dog on the farm is the most humane way to deal with it. 

Clay Travis, as a modern man, didn’t know that.  He thought that if Kristi couldn’t make the dog work out, she should have given the dog to someone else.  As if dogs were a precious resource.  Hey, there are a lot of dogs in the world, and most of them are not in good homes.  Most of them are being abused to some degree or another.  And there are lots of poor dogs at the pound being put to sleep every day because nobody wants to care for them.  And you know what’s worse? There aren’t enough homeowners these days to even give dogs a proper home because too many people are renting.  And the more that the United Nations gets its way with its Agenda 21 policies that every trustee in America has to deal with, where communities are more urbanized, there are fewer homes for dogs, so many more of them will be killed as communism runs our communities as they have been.  It is not a dog-friendly world, and Clay Travis, out of all people, should understand that.  But the modern left and manhood have shaped his perspective and been defined in new ways that are far from classic American farm life.  And I would say that was Kristi Noem’s point with the dog story.  She certainly set herself apart from the rest of the pack.  Many would say not in a good way.  But based on the reaction of so many people like Clay Travis, I think it was good.  Especially men, need to find a way to be Great Again.  Not by shooting dogs, but it shouldn’t take a woman to tell you how to be a man, and that is a problem in our modern times.  People have lost a connection to the harsh realities of where their food comes from, and how hard farm life can be, which is one of the backbones of American life.  To get too emotional over a dog is to be too emotional to save America from the communist losers who are far worse than that dog Kristi Noem shot on her ranch.  There are a lot of decisions over these coming years that will be far harder.  And people are going to have to have the stomach to do the hard things when required.  Kristi Noem gets it.  But many people need to learn to be tougher, especially those like Clay Travis.
