Democrats Have a Major Engagement Problem: It’s all catching up to them

How sure am I about President Trump’s strength in this upcoming election?  Well, it’s a simple math problem.  The traditional way of looking at things is in a panic because they know.  And for all those people I have been telling for four years that there was massive election fraud in 2020 and that Biden was illegally put into office, making everything he has touched all this time completely illegal, the proof they have been looking for is about to take place.  Because they know, they know what they did.  And so do many others.  But you don’t have to take it from me.  The facts are the facts, and everyone knows it.  Democrats have an engagement problem, which is one of the many reasons they are scrambling for voters now at the last minute with illegal immigration.  They have lost the inner city vote.  They have lost the panicky suburbanite moms.  They have lost the immigrant vote.  Biden has been so bad. Obama was also horrible during his third term behind Biden that the Democrat brand is now associated with outright communism.  And people don’t want it or like it.  And they aren’t excited about voting for it.  So without massive election fraud, like they had when they took power in 2020 under the ruse of Covid, Democrats know they have significant problems.  The media has been trying to keep it close because they desperately want the ad revenue.  We don’t want everyone getting cocky and not participating in this 2024 election, assuming that everything will be alright.  But if voter engagement stays high, and Trump gets another 75 million votes, which he can easily do, the Democrats won’t be able to keep up in this one.  They are in for a very sharp punch in the stomach, much deserved.

But Trump is only up by 4 to 6 in the Battlegrounds?  You might say.  In some polls, Biden wins by a few.  No, that’s all smoke and mirrors designed to sell political ads and keep the race close so people pump their billions of dollars into the Fox News life stream, the horse race of politics.  If you go out and poll 1500 likely voters, you are expected to get close results.  But we aren’t dealing with potential voters in this presidential race.  This is all about those who usually don’t vote, who are willing to crawl through broken glass naked to vote for President Trump, which I think will be a number closer to 80 million people.  And the Democrats will be hard-pressed to break into the 60 million range.  It’s just math; they don’t have it on their side, even with isolated cheating.  And they won’t be able to duplicate the level of cheating that has kept it close for them this time because of how outrageous it was during the last.  When Obama was running during both terms, he could not break out of the 60 million range, and many of those voters now find themselves to blame for many things in the world.  So, they are not exactly excited to vote.  Biden has been so horrible even The Rock is pulling back his endorsement because this current monstrosity has been horrible for business, the Democrat platform.  Oh, how about those gas prices and those EV mandates?  People are still sick of COVID-19 vaccine mandates imposed by a Biden executive order.  The embarrassment on the world stage.  The projection of weakness.  The corruption of the Biden family in general.  Biden has been horrendous, but that’s what happens when someone cheats to win, gets put on the stage, and nobody remembers voting for him, so they are already critical.  Then, it all starts to add up. 

There are a lot of people who can’t wait to vote for President Trump again, especially after all these court cases.  Democrats have made it personal, and people want to punch them back.  And all these criminals in government should consider themselves very lucky that most Americans are so fair, willing to live within the confines of the Constitution and punch back with a vote rather than violence.  These news shows claim the opposite who are in a total meltdown know better.  They all have it coming because of what they did and conspired to do.  When they get paid back, they deserve it, and then some.  However, many people are ready to vote for Trump to get that vote.  Biden has many people hiding because of their guilt in a string of crimes they assume would never catch up to them.  But it has.  All these years, we have assumed that there was a 50/50 split in America, where both sides were happy about their person running for office and that they would equally show up and vote on election day, making polling somewhat relevant if you could get a statistical sampling of “likely” voters.  But not this time.  This election is all about engagement and which side has more of it.  And because of the way that Democrats have been caught lying, stealing, and cheating in every way that they could, they don’t have much support except for the toxic communists who know this is their chance at revolution.  Everyone else, the idealists, the college kids, the perpetually scared suburbanite housewives who won’t let their kid leave the driveway without a Band-Aid for every scratch, nick, and bruise, are not excited about putting their name next to Joe Biden.  Some might vote anyway, but they aren’t motivated to do so.

That’s usually how it is at sporting events, where all fans enter a stadium excited about how their team might play.  But at the end of the game, when the score is 35 to nothing, people either leave to go back to their cars, happy or sad.  And when your team loses, and you have blown $500 on snacks and souvenirs, you feel terrible.  That is how Democrats are feeling right now, deep in their gut.  They studied these communist revolutions worldwide and saw how they did it, and they have tried it here in the United States.  But too many people were free.  Too many people have guns.  Too many people run their own businesses.  Too many people have access to too much information.  And there has never been someone as self-made as President Trump willing to pledge his fame and fortune to the cause of freedom.  So, the whole house of cards that the Democrats have built for global communism has fallen apart.  And people can’t wait to see it.  They can’t wait to vote against Joe Biden and the third term of the domestic terrorist, Barack Obama.  If the polling does not favor Biden, then it will not get better when actual people vote.  Because there are a lot of elements that polling doesn’t capture that will come into play.  And that is essential engagement; for Republicans, it will be very high.  For Democrats, it is low because they are the losing team, and people are not excited about the brand.  All they have is fear; most people aren’t afraid of them.  So they don’t even have that to drive people to vote.  So, Democrats have a big, massive problem.  And they deserve all the punishment coming to them, and then some.

The Communist Left is in a Panic Because Trump Doubled His Wealth: Why capitalism always beats communism

In the rock, paper, scissors game of life, capitalism beats communism 100% of the time.  It doesn’t matter that the world has been taught communism in their universities, public schools, and government centers of inefficiency.  When in direct competition with capitalist elements of any society, communism always loses.  So, as we prepare to become a space-fairing species as if we ever stopped being one, capitalism should be at the center of every culture that participates.  And there was never a more obvious example of this than in the battle to destroy President Trump by the SWAMP gas of the communist left of the Washington D.C. beltway culture.  They planned to bankrupt Trump with a bunch of corrupt courts and leftist judges and keep him from being able to run for President of the United States by the fall of 2024.  In the minds of the “left,” the political affiliates of Karl Marx, Trump would be serving 700 years in jail, have all his vast assets confiscated by the state, and his family would be broke and begging on the street.  That was their American-hating fantasy.  But what ended up happening was that President Trump, to defend his right to free speech, started Truth Social, and his total wealth value doubled to a present level of over 6 billion dollars. This infused Trump with more cash to fight all these Marxist criminal cases and took the air completely out of the plans of his political enemies, who are also our political enemies, and they are pretty desperate now.  They bet everything on this plan, and now it’s falling apart in front of their faces, as I said all along that it would.  Even a few months ago, when people said that Trump was done for in politics, I reminded them that he was far from finished.  And that he was going to win and win big.  Because capitalism always beats communism, and by the time all this work against him was done, the communist left would bankrupt itself in a way they would never recover.  Everybody laughed.

But news report after news report showed the anxiety of those who had bought into different levels of communism injected into American life, in a panic over their entire political philosophy falling apart right in front of their faces.  Where they thought the New York court cases were the end of Trump and that Trump Tower was going to be confiscated by the state, the opposite happened.  And there was plenty of desperation to go around on their part.  But America was set up so that people like President Trump could exist.  I gave an excellent little talk this past week to a group of people after I read the book about Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson, which I thought was astonishingly good, and I compared it to the Trump book The Art of the Comeback which I have been saying was the guidebook for the 2024 election.  If you want to know what Trump will do next, it’s all in that book published in the 1990s.  But the point of my talk, which I told them was likely the most crucial thing anybody would ever tell them, was that while how we measure wealth might change, the creation of it still has some essential ingredients that are important to the human race.  Wealth creation, specifically capitalist systems, requires the propensity of the human race to create new things out of risk.  To take chances.  And when you hit it big, the win may be celebrated differently.  Back in the 1990s, Trump was all about supermodels, fast cars, and tall buildings made of gold.  Elon Musk in 2024 has some compelling pictures of his most valued treasures on the covers of his book, one showing Starship stacking on SuperHeavy.  Then, on the back cover is a Tesla factory with a robot working in a nice, clean facility.  Both examples show the company’s success and how the people behind the enterprise measured that success.  But what made that success was always a risk and the ability to manage it for the betterment of all. 

Communist systems are all about averting risk.  They are the antithesis of creation.  It takes risk to do anything, so when you take the risk out of life, you take away the creation of things that are positive for the human race, which is why communist cultures, such as China, Cuba, Iran, and other places, are hellholes that depend on stealing from rich countries to sustain themselves.  That is why governments have to have massive taxes; they exist in at-risk environments that must be subsidized off the looted wealth of productive people who take many risks.  The more tolerance for risk a person had, and the better they managed it, the more successful they were.  Of course, those who don’t like risk and want a mother government to take it out of their lives will resent those who can handle it.  But what leverage can they inject into the world if they don’t bring any real value to an enterprise?  While the displays between the way Elon Musk displays his wealth as one of the world’s wealthiest people and President Trump may be different, it is similar to how they can handle more risk than others and use that trait to improve the world.

That was the swagger President Trump brought to his court cases.  When he was being hit from all sides by the communist left, he had the thought to use his money to start his own social media company, and I am proud to say that I was one of the first few hundred to sign up for it, which is how I was able to get my actual name in my username, @rhoffman.  And when Truth Social went public in March of 2024, it gave Trump access to plenty of cash to deal with all these pesky communists.   Trump could have spent these last few years working to be the wealthiest man in the world if he wanted to.  Instead, he doubled his billionaire status enough to stay alive for this presidential race, and the communists, because they count on systems to protect them from risk, were no match for someone very successful in managing risk and thrived in that environment.  This is why communism will never beat capitalism, even as much as the fantasy might wish such a condition to be so.  That’s why Karl Marx died broke.  That’s why the movement of Freemasonry in Europe failed to inject the entire world with socialism; group affiliations were intended to disguise people’s aversion to risk.  But it is always the risk-takers who succeed in life.  And there are always people who instead take risks to live the safe life of bootlicking their tribal leader in exchange for food from the confiscated wealth taken by mob rule.  It is that crucial designation that indicates why capitalism will always beat communism and why Trump has succeeded so well against these communist plots against him.  Most good things in life are created by risk, including asking out a pretty girl for a date.  Or driving a car that you just spent all day cleaning up for a night on the town, starting a new company, and making a profit.  People like Trump were successful because of their comfort with risk.  And what they create with that success makes the world a better place.  Which is why he’s winning, and the communist left is losing so spectacularly.

The Third Term of Obama: What a dumb fundraiser they had for Biden in New York

To add the ultimate failure to the Biden term we have been experiencing is to acknowledge it for what it is.  No, this was not a freely elected man who spent his life in public service and made good on the people of Pennsylvania to help them from the Executive Office. Instead, this is a crime lord put in office by conspirators who want to topple America and wanted a third term of Barack Obama, a continuation of the Weather Underground terrorism that gave us two terms of that communist insurgent, who was never qualified to be president in the first place.  But they got away with a lot with Barack Obama, and so, of course, they were going to steal an election and put Obama in place and use a compromised person and old fool in the White House so they could move his mouth and make him say anything they wanted him to.  They were willing to break the law for the good of their communist revolution, which they suckered so many into embracing, in a push for a global world order under the rule of China, the propped-up impoverished country that only gained wealth because it essentially became the 401K plan for the billionaires of America.  It’s been a sucker game all along, but you know what’s funny?  It hasn’t been working.  Biden is trying to run for president after trying to be Fidel Castro for his first term essentially, and people are sick of him.  So, at a fundraiser in New York, they brought out all the old tricks, Obama being one of them, and they looked like a bunch of out-of-touch fools.  Supposedly, they raised 26 million dollars at that fundraiser, as two former and one current president were raised dramatically out of the stage.  But in many ways, it was a perfect metaphor for what they had done to America and were now losing. 

Essentially, this has been Obama’s third term.  Hillary Clinton was supposed to carry the torch in 2016, but Trump won.  And the globalists who had put so much effort into the destruction of America were angry about it; after all, that was Obama’s first mission, to “remake” America.  To “transform” it into something else, from a capitalist country into a communist one.  That was why the newcomer Obama had his political career launched in the living room of the American terrorist Bill Ayers.  We were told to ignore that little news story; it was no big deal.  Neither were the problems with the Obama birth certificate, which turned out to be a digital fake made on a modern computer.  They got caught trying to fake one during Obama’s terms in office to shut up all the “truthers” out there who were onto the many problems with where Obama came from and who his daddy was.  Many still don’t know, but we do know that they lied to us about a lot of things.  But they got away with those lies, and the media, already taken over by this communist globalist plot, were willing to carry water for Obama and keep him propped up.  But they never wanted him to go, so they were angry with Trump for interrupting their communist takeover of America.  So they conspired and plotted and manipulated to extremes to destroy Trump, his supporters, and any notion of the Make America Great Again political platform.  Because for them, that was the worst thing in the world.  They wanted to destroy America.  Not make it great again.

But who are “they,” you might ask, dear reader?  Who are they?  Well, it’s the international finance community who were allowed into our money supply with that stupid Jekyll Island mess that created the Federal Reserve.  The secret societies of Europe have been plotting and scheming the decline of the West since it was essentially started.  The globalists have their people in the European Union and the United Nations.  It’s the billionaires who invest so much money into China-style communism for the entire world, using that paper tiger to look like the sales face of managed communism success by tying the hands of all the other countries in the world with ridiculous economic policy and climate change standards.  And “they” keep their politicians in office to destroy the world to their liking with massive election fraud, which they utilize all over the world.  Why do you think they were so upset that people were onto the scam with digital voting machines in the United States?  Because that was their most accessible means of election fraud.  That’s how they do it in communist countries like China, Russia, and South and Central America.  Don’t forget that Mexico and Cuba are socialist countries.  All of Europe are socialist countries.  The head of the United Nations is a socialist.  The head of the World Health Organization was a socialist.  Everything about COVID, created in a Chinese lab in Wuhan by human beings as a bioweapon, was about bringing socialism and communism to the world through mass manipulation of our health care system where they could get access to all people without the stigma of a political movement.  Oh, yes, “they” have been naughty, and they’ve killed a lot of people along the way.  And they didn’t care who it was or under what conditions.  They just wanted power and were willing to do anything to have it, including keeping Obama in the background and pulling the strings to Biden to keep their plans for globalism intact.

However, those efforts have spectacularly failed, and they are pretty well aware of it, which was apparent when they tapped into Obama and Clinton thinking that putting them on stage with Biden would help him.  The effort showed how tone-deaf many globalist consultants are to reality.  When forced to come out of the shadows and reveal who they are, they are bland, even out of touch.  Putting many old men on stage whom many Americans hate together shows how regional their thinking is and how little they respect ordinary American voters.  And that’s why they are losing any notion of a fair fight.  Without election fraud, they are desperately exposed.  And out of all that 26 million they raised, they couldn’t move the needle with a billion dollars.  The media might want that money wasted on them, so of course, their will whore themselves out to the Democrat Party, America’s version of the communist party in the West.  But people have been lied to, killed, harassed, abused, and manipulated in every way by both parties.  And “they” are sick of it.  Trump was never supposed to be in this position, the frontrunner as President once again.  I’ve been telling everyone since January of 2021 that he would be.  I understand the guy.  I knew he’d be back.  And he’s going to be president again, and many of us are going to aggressively undo all these communist plans that have been pressured upon us for many years, including all the terrorism that came from Barack Obama.  We will undo their corrupt world right in front of their faces, and they will deserve all the pain that comes with that.  And they should consider themselves lucky that their punishments won’t be more severe for all they have done to us.  In my mind, they are getting off too easily.

President Trump and the Lee Greenwood Bible: The Key to Making America Great Again

I have always had a relationship with the Bible, starting when I was very little.  I love to read books, and it is one of the world’s most essential books of literature. It has undoubtedly had a great impact as the foundation of Western Civilization.  But I’ve generally had a policy on religion not to impose it on other people because not everyone was fortunate enough to be born in America or under Christianity, so they are already starting in life with an impediment to success.  And I was willing to try the whole separation of church and state thing in the way that the destroyers of the world proposed it.  But due to the way the world is now, and what happened with COVID-19, the government coups around the world, and the general murder of innocent people, I began to explain things to people in a biblical context because that was what it took.  I’ve told the story before, and there have been many times since, but after Biden was put in office and Trump flew away for the last time, my wife and I headed into the desert and did some thinking.  A lot of thinking.  I bought a Lee Greenwood Bible shortly after because I thought he was onto something, and after reading it and sharing it with other people, a clear strategy became very obvious to me, which would defeat many of the villains in the world.  They were exposed, and a path to their destruction was clear to see.  And all it took for us, as Americans, was to reestablish a connection with the Bible.  That is why Lee Greenwood published a God Bless the USA version.  I have many Bibles, but this one was unique, and I thought upon receiving it, that every American should have one.  Within the text of the Bible is just about everything you need to know about building a successful society.  This Lee Greenwood Bible was a great place to start if America wanted to find its way again.

In 2024, President Trump is putting his name behind this effort and is partnering with Lee Greenwood to sell the God Bless the USA Bible, which comes in the back of it: the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and other patriotic documents.  I love all those things, so to have them all in one place makes perfect sense, as American law was formed around biblical principles.   For me what I had to overcome in the desert that year in 2021 was an answer to what the attackers of America were really after.  It’s one thing to talk about and write about, but admitting it to yourself at a fundamental level is something else.  Removing the Bible from our legal system as a basic foundation was the key to the plan of our attackers, the globalists looking for a one-world government rule through the United Nations.  These perpetrators were the socialist and communist heathens of Europe and Asia who wanted to make God the government, not a reference to a biblical past.  To achieve their victory over America, they had to change us from a Christian nation to a heathen one, something that had happened before in Israel when they had fallen from grace and turned back to the worship of Baal in the land of Canaan, and other places throughout the Near East.  Yahweh was just one competing God when the Bible was written, establishing himself as the creator of Western civilization, overcoming the pantheon of Greek gods, the Romans, and all the deities along the Silk Road.  Yahweh was older than many, but it was a long journey to work out social interaction correctly, which took many thousands of years to figure out. 

Then, in our modern times, the latest band of despots and global crime syndicates wanted to overthrow America and steal all its vast wealth by taking from us the basic morality of the Bible and splitting our legal system on its head for apparent destruction.  And we have seen over these past three or four years that this obvious strategy and its implications play out.  There is no longer guessing what these people were trying to do to us.  What has been challenging is to admit that people were willing to be that evil.  And they have been.  So, to understand that level of evil, a relationship with the Bible is essential in the context of the human race and its development.  The Bible has been the best at communicating those values, better than any country in the world, and the fact that America was built on that foundation was simply magnificent.  The concept of natural law and these ideas were, for me, the key to working all this out, so I was in Indian territory thinking about whether America had a right to impose its freedoms on the collectivist-based cultures that happened to be in North America at the time, and much like the reason God wanted the Hebrew people to inhabit Canaan, the same moral justification was present in the founding of America.  And people needed to understand that context.  The enemies of America wanted us to doubt that enterprise, so they sought to steal our reference point, our Bibles.  So, to beat them at their game put the Bible back into the center of American culture, and it would essentially be like Holy Water applied to the demons of existence.  So, it was brilliant for President Trump to get behind in selling this Lee Greenwood Bible.  It is also wise of him to make this upcoming election a resurgence of Christian Nationalism.  Not in the negative way that the enemies of America want to portray it as a derogatory position where we are supposed to give up our lives and lifestyles to accommodate the heathens of the world and all their dumb gods.  No, we only need to return to the basics and learn from history.  And use as a foundation for our civilization the tools that work, the rule of law built on the back of Biblical principles.  It’s one thing to have compassion for people who do not have the Bible as the backdrop of their entire culture and to be respectful of their beliefs.  But to destroy your belief system to make those heathens happy is not an intelligent idea, only to then have the United Nations redefine values based on a Karl Marx definition where communism makes government the new God and that the goal of our lives is to redistribute wealth using that new God as the arbitrator of justice.  And what the government gets is power and prestige, which has always been the downfall of civilizations, to repeat a cycle we know doesn’t work.  And to achieve that, they have to convince us to give up on the elements of society that do work.  President Trump getting behind the Lee Greenwood Bible is one of the most brilliant things he has done so far, and the media is melting down over it, like the Wicked Witch at the end of The Wizard of Oz.  I would recommend getting at least one Bible to pass out to friends and family.  The Bible is the battle plan to Make America Great Again, and we should not be shy about it.  This story has happened many times; the Bible captures those events well.  And for our present circumstances, we don’t have to reinvent the wheel.  We need to understand how to use it, and the Bible, especially the Lee Greenwood Bible in partnership with President Trump, is a great place to start.

Here is a link to that Bible:   https://leegreenwood.com/product/god-bless-the-usa-bible/

Good to See the People of Fairfield Schools Aren’t Stupid: In Lakota, corruption put Christina French in a seat to protect the radical teacher’s union

I was happy to see that the people in the Fairfield school district, who just voted down their ridiculous school levy, were not stupid.  As I have always said and will continue to say, you are stupid if you vote for a school levy.  These public schools are cesspools of Democrat politics, and they rot the children from the inside out, purposely.  So, feeding those ridiculous Democrats incubation factories is stupid.  The schools are controlled by radicalized laborers who want to be paid too much to do too little and offer a community very little in return for the massive investment.  So, in the Fairfield schools just north of Cincinnati outside the I-275 loop, a community that is only a fraction of what it once was, they said no to their tax levy, which is a good sign of things to come.  People have learned a lot over the last few years, especially since all the Covid lockdowns exposed this clown game for what it truly is, and more people than ever are ready to admit that public schools are only a free babysitting service for parents too busy, to take their kids anywhere else because they are too poor to take their kids to a private school or find some other alternative.  Public schools are like public toilets; nobody cares about what happens inside until you have to use them.  And when you use them, they are always in a state of degradation.  I love education, but we don’t do nearly enough of it.  But public schools are not my idea of education.  They are more like prisons of social conditioning to feel all the wrong things and express all the wrong values.  I don’t believe public schools got it right, especially over the last few decades.  They have become propaganda factories for Democrat politics, and any good that was intended with them has long gone from social analysis.  Nothing says “I don’t love you, kid” more than sending them to the rat race public school attached to your zip code. 

With all that said, I have had many, many, many people ask me to run for school board in my community of Lakota.   And we’re not talking about slack-jawed losers but brilliant and influential people.  The game has always been evident to me, but for the sake of those people, I have tried to do whatever I can to make public education better for the scope of a community.  And in management, saying no is a significant first step to whatever Democrats think they need.  Even if they ask for an extra gallon of milk, inflated, wasteful people who look to the government to fill their bottomless pit needs must be told no.  That is certainly true regarding wage levels, which are directly associated with the inflated budgets that public schools utilize.  And to have someone say no often is why people have wanted me to be on the school board.  But I would never waste my time on such a fruitless enterprise, especially since the name of the game is to have closet Democrats running the school board to pave the way for the teacher unions to have easy contract negotiations.  And the whole game is set up like a parasite to a community’s property values, like a gun to the head of a robbery victim.  It’s just not a positive experience in any way, significantly once kids grow up beyond the fifth grade and stop having parent presentations to see the art their kids did in school pasted all over the wall as if to justify everything.  Once the kids get into middle and high school, where puberty is running away with logic, everything gets a lot less cute and useless for the dollar value.

However, I’ve tried to help put conservative school board members on the board in my school district of Lakota several times over the years.  But a pattern emerges that is quite obvious.  Rival school board members who don’t like the conservatives use woke laws to protect them from voter intentions, which is the case with Darbi Boddy in Lakota.  She was a Tea Party type conservative on the school board, and that group worked hard, just as they did Todd Parnell before her, to use woke rules to remove members they didn’t like, then the board would override the pick of the public and appoint their liberal members.  In this case, because of a legal technicality driven by a bunch of people who might otherwise call themselves conservatives, a court order kept Darbi from attending school board meetings, which, after 90 days, allowed the Lakota school board to vote her off the board and appoint a new member, without going to the taxpayers.  In this case, it ended up being Christina French after a long list of excessively liberal names offered themselves as options.  French is not a conservative, let’s just put it nicely.  But she represents the kind of people that the teacher union wants on the school board, and as the out-of-control costs stack up into chaos at Lakota, they try to do what Fairfield just tried to do, with tax increases in more overt liberalism as policy, don’t say I didn’t try to warn you.

The community Republicans should have stood behind Darbi better than they did.  Isaac Adi, who ran as a conservative for the board, voted to put French in Darbi’s seat, and he’s the one who caused all the trouble in the first place.  Darbi shouldn’t have let her temper get the better of her, just as Todd Parnell shouldn’t have, but these people can infuriate you.  And they can support child molesters and break all kinds of laws and get away with it because they are Democrats.  The rules are only there to control Republicans because we have allowed that system to manifest that way and make conservative politics, which is, in the majority, a passive role in the education business.  This is why public education is failing everywhere and why it costs so much to get so little.  Because there are so many RINOs, which was undoubtedly the case with Darbi, they didn’t back her, so they get to deal with Christina French, Julie Shaffer, and those other radical Democrats.  Many of them probably call themselves Republicans at wine tastings, but their behavior is overtly liberal, and it shows in their spending habits.  No matter who we put on the Lakota school board, this will always be the result.  Republicans have to walk around on egg shells while the Democrats are dancing on the tables naked and laying face down in the bathroom by the toilet at education conferences, and they get away with everything, because the teacher’s unions wants such fools in charge of their budget.  See why?  Which is why I say, and will continue to say, if you vote for a school levy you are stupid.  I can at least add to that that I’ve tried to help make school boards better, but the future of public education is to put the funding to the child, not the zip code, and make the schools earn their money, drive down their costs, and attract children to their enterprise through competition.  Of course, the public schools won’t be able to afford government union wage rates, but that’s the point.  That doesn’t benefit anybody but the parasites who have access to the next generation of children.  And if you want to fix education and help kids access learning, that’s the only next thing to do.  Everything else is nonsense.  More money doesn’t help the kids at all. It only increases corruption, as we have seen in Lakota over many years.  The more money, the more corruption, and the process that got rid of Darbi Boddy and put Christina French in her place is corrupt beyond repair.

The CIA Behind the Terrorist Attack in Moscow: ISIS was a creation of Barack Obama and his globalist friends

You know you have lost the public when the first thing everyone thought after ISIS claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack at a Russian entertainment venue in Moscow was that the CIA was behind it.  That’s not just conspiracy theories anymore, but ordinary people, and if you didn’t notice, the story died within a few days, leaving all these globalists reeling as a reaction.  The old games aren’t working anymore, and the CIA’s involvement in those games is resented by the taxpayers who fund them.  The CIA has not been working on behalf of The United States of America, but the Corporation of America, the globalists who have been trying to subdue the Constitution for well over a hundred years now.  The CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) brings very little to our nation, especially for what they cost.  After what they did to perform a coup against a popularly picked President Trump in 2020, along with activism from the FBI, people have been more open about their feelings about this secretive group.  Based on the evidence, if the CIA were disbanded today and every one of their employees picked up a job at the local McDonald’s, security of America’s borders would increase dramatically, and our local drive-thrus would get faster because the employees would be better served.  Because that’s about all they are suitable for.  The CIA causes trouble; they don’t solve problems.  And if there is danger in the world, it’s usually them causing it to drive social narratives in the direction of globalism everywhere.  The creation of the CIA occurred in post-war 1947, along with several other dumb, globalist ideas, and America has not been better off for it.  And the Moscow terrorist attack is just such an example.  It’s not that a terrorist attack occurred in Russia by Ukrainians trying to put an end to the war.   But it is really about if the CIA did not exist, would there be a war with Ukraine, let alone a terrorist attack?

That ISIS claimed responsibility seems a little thin, considering that Russian authorities caught many of the terrorists trying to flee back over the border to Ukraine, where they wanted to be at least seen.  These were not your typical ISIS terrorist groups of Islamic radicalism functioning in the Near East.  My skepticism has its roots in my love of biblical archaeology, where political forces who want to use religion to control modern power distribution are preventing the excavation of essential landmarks from India to Egypt through terrorist discourse from creating just enough chaos that knowledge can’t take root in known history.  The same logic could be applied to this Ukraine situation where NATO provoked Russia into a baited attack to justify massive wealth redistribution in the region, and behind the scenes of this enormous taxpayer-funded scam is the CIA working their mechanisms of deceit behind every media propaganda distribution channel.  Much of the war with Ukraine could be blamed on CIA tampering in the region to lure Putin into attacking their former territory, as Biden had been briefed beforehand.  The days when Americans would accept the reports given by the CIA are long over, and for good reason.  They lost trust in them based on their behavior, and Americans did not want to be involved in another CIA-manipulated war.  After World War II, the CIA attempted to drag America into every national conflict as an excuse to advance globalism, as the United Nations views it, which was created in 1945.  Many things happened a few years after that War to End All Wars.  Israel, for instance, was created as a nation in 1948.  The Roswell event occurred in 1947 as well; see a pattern?  The late 1940s, going into the 1950s and the counter-culture 60s, were filled with political manipulations designed to destroy American sovereignty and a belief in ingenuity and compliance to forces more significant than even God. 

It’s been the CIA that is most thought of when we talk about UFOs, whether they exist or not, and what they intend to do.  UFO events didn’t just start in 1947 with Roswell; those events certainly shaped our reaction to them.  And behind it, all was the CIA trying to establish a perpetual nanny state of taxpayer government expansion because Americans would see the need for protection from all these mysterious forces.  And who wanted to fight in another war like World War II?  So, people hoped that the CIA might keep another Hitler from being cultivated by the secret societies of Europe for another international conflict.  Instead, we ended up fighting Korea and Vietnam to stop communism even as the KGB, in an apparent alliance with the CIA, let communism grow in our college campuses, and our music through groups like the Beatles, let drugs poison our youth and bring shame and scandal come to our nation so that people might give up their love of national borders, and become global citizens in service to the United Nations.  For many decades now, people have had to slug through the secretive effects of the CIA and their NATO creations to move the minds of the masses like cattle to a slaughterhouse.  And people have become numb to the tactics to the point where nothing the CIA says anymore is trusted. 

When Trump says that Obama created ISIS, that is based on historical knowledge.  That the CIA got caught yet again trying to tamper with global politics, prop up a threat of an Islamic caliphate that was ultimately the creation of the forces who propped up Barack Obama into the White House from the living room of Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground Terrorist.  ISIS was designed to make Americans feel less safe and to throw infinite resources toward the efforts of globalism for protection.  But without the CIA or Barack Obama, would there have been an ISIS to begin with?  Likely not.  And now that Biden is in office, we are supposed to believe they mysteriously rose to power again as a bunch of out-of-work assassins willing to do anything for a cup of coffee, which is what was revealed when the Russians captured these most recent terrorists in Moscow.  This was an apparent attempt to get Americans to send more money to Ukraine and to sympathize with an end to the war because appeasement and peer pressure work so well in the world.  Russia might be compelled through international pressure to end its border dispute with Ukraine because ISIS was mad at them.  So goes the logic of the fools at the CIA and their bureaucrats desperate for American money in NATO.  And the moment that Trump would be in office again, ISIS would disappear overnight because the CIA would lose presidential support, which is why they conspired to get rid of Trump during the first term.  Trump was never supposed to make friends with North Korea.  We were supposed to be infinitely afraid of the North Korean kid with the bowl haircut.  Instead, we learned that he’s just a kid who loves basketball and has been given a tyrannical rule over a group of people for diverting maniacal social policy from its neighbor, China.  Another propped-up creation of globalists looking for a communist New World Order with the CIA as their enforcement wing of chaos and destruction.  Whenever people caught onto the story, another UFO conspiracy would be floated into the news cycle to give cover for all the maniacal lunatics involved in truly menacing behavior, politically.  This is why nobody believes the CIA anymore, and they are worthless to even a dime of taxpayer funding.  They cause so much trouble because people would get along much better if they didn’t exist.  And they don’t want people getting along.  And with the Russia story cooling off in the world, they needed to remind people that there was still turmoil there, for the news to take notice of.  Even at the expense of innocent lives lost.

Bernie Sanders Dumb Idea for a 32-Hour Work Week: Socialists and Communists are Lazy, dope-smoking losers

This is a long-term gripe from me and one of the most significant reasons to never listen to socialists and communists.  Communists are lazy people by nature; that’s why they want big government to confiscate the wealth of others and redistribute that income to them while they sit around all day smoking pot and playing video games.  We can see socialists a mile away, and their work ethic exposes them.  Lazy people tend to favor the works of Karl Marx.  So it is unsurprising that Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator who has been in the news a lot over the last several years, has proposed a 32-hour work week.  I missed the news in a form I could comment on because I was traveling through many airports and happened to be in Japan waiting on a driver sent to pick me up when I heard the news.  I watched a video clip of this ridiculous proposal as my Japanese driver ran down the road to get our car.  He was running because he didn’t want me to wait an extra 15 to 20 seconds and to be guilty of giving me an inefficiency problem that day.  So, the news was particularly powerful at that moment because of the excessive contrasts.  They like to work in Japan, and they want to work hard.  So do I.  Out of a 24-hour day, 17 of them are dedicated to working.   I don’t have much time for silly chit-chat and wasting time on stupid things.  And I also work Saturdays and Sundays most weeks.  And I like it.  I love Mondays, I see Fridays as just another day in the week.  And I expect the people around me to work hard, too. Otherwise, I don’t get along with them.  No matter what people think about politics, sports teams, or religion, I can find common ground to build a relationship if a person likes to work hard. 

They work hard in Japan

But this idea of Bernie Sanders was one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.  America was trying to dig out of several years of bad economic policy during the third term of Obama’s presidency.  During Trump’s first term, America had three years of prosperity, but Biden quickly turned all that into a disaster, and America needs to work its way back to greatness.  And here is this idiot saying we must work a 32-hour workweek.  What will people do in all those other hours? Look out the window.  Have more leisure time.  How long must people sit on a beach and look at the water?  It reminded me of the many things that I don’t like about Europe.  They have too much vacation and have a daily expectation of doing too little.  It’s common in Europe to only work three days out of five and to have frequent breaks.  And to be honest, it disgusts me to my very soul.  What a wasteful existence.  America has been great in the past because the people weren’t afraid of hard work.  It was hard work that built a great country, and it was hard work that made any culture prosperous.  And here is an old hippie socialist advocating for Americans to work less.  It’s probably the dumbest idea in the history of dumb ideas.  It’s a general attitude you can easily observe in communist and socialist countries; their social centers are often crowded with people walking around aimlessly eating food and sitting anywhere available because they aren’t working enough.  And they wonder why they have poor GDP numbers. 

That isn’t unique; in my experience in Japan with the driver, it’s expected.  Japan has the third-largest economy in the world for a reason.  They work hard there, and they don’t complain about stupid things.  When there is work to be done, they pull together and get things done quickly, and they aren’t in love with the hours of the day.  If it takes longer to do a task than the usual hours of a business day, they stick around and finish it, making tomorrow always filled with completed work, waiting on new opportunities.  I am always impressed by even ordinary people on the street who are overtly ambitious and gratified for an opportunity to work.  Whether it’s a clerk at a convenience store or an attendant at the airport, when work is faced, or the chance to do business with another person presents itself, they honor that opportunity with a deep bow to revere the work and the opportunities that come with it.  You are in for a treat when you fly to Japan on any Japanese airline with an all-Japanese crew.  They work hard and treat everyone very respectfully.  They really care about the work and it shows as they enter the work zone, they bow to the public and bring real diligence to the effort.  But often, when you return home on Delta, United, or some other American airliner, you get a menagerie of lazy characters brought to you by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and they are ridiculous to deal with, especially on a long flight.  Even in premium seating, they make the experience miserable because they are usually lazy, overweight, and can barely fit between the seats, and you can tell they are always in a hurry to sit back down and waste their life away somewhere.  With the Japanese airlines, everyone is in a hurry, but for the opposite reason, so they can do more work. 

Bernie Sanders lists himself as an independent who caucuses with Democrats.  And he’s had a few good runs at the presidency, headed off by the Democrat’s cheating machine who would not let him near the White House.  But as a result, Democrats have steered hard left on Bernie Sanders types of communist policies.  Sanders is technically a socialist, and there are many like him in the Democrat Party; they don’t refer to themselves as such.  Much as in the Republican Party, there are Democrats who know they could never get elected if they called themselves what they were.  Socialists and communists in America have been changing their name to Democrats, trying to hide their real nature.  These days, they feel more comfortable revealing what that nature is than they were in the past.  And it’s communism that is behind the effort to have America work a 32-hour work week.  I think Americans need to work a 70-hour work week, at minimum.  I never have any compassion for someone who says they don’t have enough money when they are barely working 40 hours a week.  It was labor unions who gave us the stupid 40-hour work week, and that just isn’t enough when you have a productive culture filled with opportunity. What are people expecting to do with all that time off?  Why not work and make more money?  In my life, I have often worked two full-time jobs of 40 hours each, and held a part-time job on weekends, four or five hours a day on Saturdays and Sundays.  And I always spent time with my family.  I had time to play video games, read books, and watch movies.  People waste a lot of time in life, depending on the political philosophy that governs their society.  And if Americans want to Make America Great Again, they need to learn to work hard again.  And to stop listening to ridiculously stupid socialists, Marxists, and communists who just want to sit around smoking pot, living off welfare, and wasting their lives away with scratch-off lottery tickets, hoping to hit it big so they can work even less.  Those kinds of people are the slugs of society, and any culture that wants to be better needs to make fewer of them.

The Great Replacement Theory is Very Real: To understand it, just watch the classic film, ‘Scarface’

The Great Replacement Theory is not some politically driven rant; it’s a real political strategy that has been around for a long time, and it’s a heavily used communist tactic.  Even Elon Musk has come to see what the strategy is of Democrats in America, the purpose of the open border policy, which is well underway, and sending over 10 million undocumented migrants into the United States to essentially saturate their voting base.  For them to deny that is what they are doing is to deny history, and one of the best examples of this kind of thing in history was captured in the great Brian DePalma movie Scarface with Al Pacino.  The plot of that movie, which had a historical backdrop supporting a fictional storyline but one based on reality, was that Fidel Castro had let all the criminals out of their prisons to flood the border in Florida in order to saturate a red state with illegal immigrants and convert them to Democrat voters.  It was a Jimmy Carter policy to take them all in, just as Biden is now doing on a much more massive scale.  But the point of the communist regime and the Democrats in America was to take in all the criminals from those prisons and have them infiltrate America, mix in with a lot of other people, and overrun Miami and other Florida cities with massive crime and drugs.  It was a military maneuver, and the movie Scarface did a nice job of showing all the different layers of politics involved and how those decisions impacted people at all levels of society.  The root cause of the problem was the strategy of Castro to offload the criminals of his country to bring down his rival in the United States with poison.  This tactic is clearly behind the modern open-border movement.

People who don’t believe this is happening aren’t very good at geography and politics and don’t understand the characters at play.  Of all the countries that people are fleeing from, such as Venezuela, Mexico, Central America, and even Canada, they are all run by socialists.  Even in Brazil, you might recall they let a communist out of prison to overthrow their own populist leader there.  Everywhere you look behind this open border policy are advocates who want a strong centralized government in the style of Chinese communism, and their method of delivery is to overwhelm countries with immigration to change them into socialist and communist countries by migration.  In the process, they destabilize the economies of their targets with chaos and crime.  We don’t have to speculate about whether such things are happening because we can see them with our own eyes.  But we also now have historical context.  We saw what happened in Cuba when Scarface hit the movie theaters.  The whole point of the movie was to show how criminals were let out of jails only to become members of crime syndicates to push drugs into Miami, Florida, and other places in the United States.  The antics of Tony Montana became legendary in movie history as it was one of the first movies to almost be rated X because of hard language and violence.  But that was back in the early 80s and history remembers what happened.  People were so outraged by the communist insurgency at the time that they elected Ronald Reagan, and America survived even if the character of illegal immigration purposely changed the kind of people associated with Florida demographics.  There is no doubt that the same kind of strategy is being employed now, and behind all the impoverished areas are communist and socialist-led countries that people are fleeing from. They purposely antagonized innocent people to make them want to leave and overwhelm the border of the communist target, America. 

But when Cuba had their mass immigration into Florida, the Democrats didn’t get exactly what they expected.  That is because the way to beat communist countries in policy is to destroy them with capital and wealth generation.  And the capitalist government of America gave all those communist despots somewhere to work and a way to secure a decent life for their families.  And what we have seen over the last twenty to thirty years is a failure of the Democrat playbook to win the immigrants over as Democrats.  The Democrat party is so anti-family that they are unattractive to migrants who are very much pro-family and enjoy their family lineage.  2024 polling is showing that illegal immigrants and their immigrant families already in the United States are leaning toward Trump and the Make America Great platform.  After all, that’s why they migrated to the United States.  They didn’t want to be a part of the communist hellholes they ran from.  And the terrible ordeals they had to endure along the way, the disgraceful conduct, especially among their women.  Behind the manipulators of policy, the consultants, the financiers, and the despots of doom who purposely cause trouble among innocent people to inspire them into mass migrations to overthrow countries, many of their plans have backfired.  But that doesn’t mean their intent shouldn’t be punished.  What they planned to do and what they did do ended up harming many millions of innocent people on all sides, and all that tampering is catching up to them.  What might have been overlooked in the 80s because reporting was slower, and we hadn’t seen what was happening before is no longer hidden.   People understand this game now better than at any other point in history.

You might have heard what Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said recently, the president of Mexico about his role in protecting the American border from the drug cartels who essentially run his country.  He claimed it wasn’t his responsibility, that Americans want drugs, and they make the market for his drug cartels to do their business.  And that was very much the policy when the movie Scarface took place.  How do you attack a free market by injecting poison into that market and letting people die in it?  In that way, the resistance to the communist invasion destroys themselves with gratuitous sex and drug abuse, founded in a lack of morality by the destruction of the modern family unit that would otherwise disgrace such detrimental behavior.  The open border policies in America sponsored by Democrats and their RINO Republican conspirators are an attack against American sovereignty meant to destroy the country in ways that no military on earth could otherwise.  And we know that because it is straight out of the communist playbook that Castro in Cuba historically has shown the world, and the after-effects are still evident during any trip to Florida.  Even if the results failed to make Florida a blue state, as it’s a red state that still votes Republican, the intent can’t be ignored.  And it must be understood that what we are seeing now, with all the open borders with socialist countries, like Canada and especially Mexico is open warfare where people are used as weapons of war to convert capitalism to communism.  It’s certainly not a conspiracy theory.  It’s a malicious attack on our country and all of us, and it’s the only way to understand what is happening today.  It’s not like this is the first time we’ve seen it.

Banning TikTok from China: Morality is the best policy for protecting society from its enemies

I’m generally not for the government getting into the banning business, such as all this talk about banning TikTok from American consumption.  It might make everyone feel good, but at this point, it’s not nearly enough.  I think what they do in Florida with age restrictions is the right way for all social media.  The introduction of the internet to kids in puberty has been horrendous, culturally, so they are headed down the right road in Florida by identifying that fundamental use problem.  Strengthen the family; you solve a lot of these problems.  The government is a poor substitute for parental guidance.  But that doesn’t change what TikTok is and China’s intentions with it.  Yes, they are all about propaganda, and TikTok was invented as a social media platform to empower stupidity to destroy our culture by making it more mainstream.  When President Trump wanted to ban TikTok during his first presidency, he had the right idea in identifying a threat to our American youth.  China wants to make them dumb and to pursue the destruction of the next generation.  I was just in Japan studying how Kobe Beef is produced by tampering with cattle growth in ways that make the meat taste better.  TikTok was invented and utilized to be different from other forms of social media, more appealing to youth, and more addictive than YouTube or Facebook.  As a result, it is the critical platform millions of Americans use to share videos and opinions about a whole array of matters.  But residing behind that effort is a menace to destroy the mind of the consumer with addiction and short thinking, sexual obsession, and low intellect manipulations.  That could be said of most social media, but when it comes to TikTok, owned by the Chinese, the level of deceit is in a category of its own. 

The more general threat behind TikTok is the ability of foreign governments, hostile to the United States to own American assets.  Not just social media companies, but movie companies, land acquisition, and all other forms of investment.  America advertises itself as an open society; we allow foreign investment into our culture under the banner of “free trade,” only to see those hostile cultures use that weakness as leverage for our destruction.  Who needs a military when you can destroy the culture that produces the military?  By now, even the most dense person should understand that’s what we are dealing with.  When you look at all fronts, the poisoning of our youth with drugs, the teaching of communism in public schools, the destruction of the American family with feminism, and other methods, it should be obvious to everyone what’s going on.  Globalism wasn’t about bringing different countries into a capitalist society.  Globalism was about destroying the only real capitalist culture left on earth and eroding it from within, much the way TikTok was used as a kind of Trojan Horse.  But the troops don’t sneak in under the cover of night to slit everyone’s throats while they sleep.  They do it in the day, while everyone is awake.  But they get the people to slit their own throats and giggle about it like it’s a rebellion against convention.  The openness of American culture has been used against the kindness it was intended to project to the world’s less fortunate.  Rather than be thankful, those countries have plotted our destruction and then boasted about how weak we are for allowing them to do it.  So the TikTok problem won’t just disappear because politicians create a new ban on a social media platform.  The effort will just pack up and move to the next technological thing. 

My solution is to keep the government out of it and raise the expectations of social behavior through free market enterprise.  I agree with Trump, who has changed his mind on TikTok over time and with some perspective.  As long as we are allowing criminal syndicates, like China, and hostile billionaires like Bill Gates, to buy up massive amounts of American property and to use it in a hostile way against us, whether it be farmland or social media platforms, we open ourselves to the hostilities of those antagonizers, and there a lot of them.  Of course, those types of people want open borders; they want to suck off the merit of a capitalist country with lots of people to exploit in the process.  The government was supposed to protect us, but many of them are just as bad as the criminals, not being able to resist the many temptations in Washington D.C., from the easy money, the gratuitous sex, and the compromised lifestyles.  The way to beat all these characters is not with more government rules enforced by corrupt government officials but by increasing society’s morality in general.  We don’t have to put up with such low standards as the Chinese have offered us to make us fat, dumb, and easily manipulated toward their military objectives.  We are expected to express our feelings about things and to maintain standards that are difficult for lowlifes to live up to.  And in that way, who needs a ban on TikTok when a social stigma behind the platform permeates through market conditions?  The best way to deal with these hostilities from foreign governments is not to allow foreign investment to be so easy and to use a good moral code to regulate the amount of stupidity a culture is willing to put up with. 

There has been a lot of consternation locally where a new representative for the 47th District in Ohio beat out an entrenched Republican who is well known to be a RINO because she happens to be a pastor for a large church.  RINOs are dangerous because they believe in compromise and are willing to work with evil to make things happen, which is how we end up with things like TikTok in our culture.  The consternation comes from the endorsement of Diane Mullins from churches to become a political representative because the argument is that it’s supposed to be illegal, separation of church and state kind of issue. The left commits a lot of unlawful acts, such as cheating in elections and conducting open borders.  I don’t think a church endorsing a pastor for a political position is a problem at all.  And those who want to think so obviously have the destruction of America in mind because the entire debate about the separation of church and state was to make sure morality wasn’t provided to sustain a healthy culture with biblical guideposts.  The goal of removing such considerations was to make it easier to destroy the youth of America, which was a military strategy disguised as social policy.  But it is in affirming those moral values, a society protects itself best from intrusions like TikTok and other intentions from hostile foreign governments.  And we’d do much more good by not apologizing for upholding moral virtue than in a newly created government ban.  I would rather have a government ban than have a rudderless society, such as bans on drugs, abortion, and general bad conduct.  However, the best way to enforce moral policy is to have a society that isn’t afraid to make judgments against bad behavior.  And that is what most of these characters fear: people and politicians are not afraid to judge; which was the most effective means of social control ever invented by human beings?

Sara Carruthers Loses to Diane Mullins in the 47th District: Don’t work against the Central Committees and new media

It was wonderful to see Diane Mullins win the Representative seat for the 47th District, beating out Sara Carruthers in the primary who had held that seat.  I think Diane will do a great job, bring some fresh perspective to that seat, and represent the people of Hamilton and the surrounding area very well.  But this is a cautionary tale that deserves some thought because it was Sara Carruthers who had come out after the election of November 2023 and referred to Tea Party types in the Republican Party as radicals, as she was alluding to the assumption that party politics existed in some moderate relationship with communism and that she knew better than everyone else how to navigate those choppy waters.  Her crime was one of the Blue 22 coalition to put the moderate Speaker Stephens into power and undercut the much more Republican presence that had been planned.  So she was a declared RINO and made herself known to everyone as such, leaving the Central Committee to pull her endorsement and support Diane Mullins as a replacement, a much more conservative Republican.  And I said so much then and put my support behind the Republican slate card.  In that same exchange, Sheriff Jones became frustrated and went out on his own not seeking a party endorsement.  Things are getting hot in politics, and for good reason.  Who needs Democrats when our representatives are like Sara Carruthers?  Or Cindy Carpenter, for that matter.  And like Sara, many in Ohio went on to support Matt Dolan over the party pick of Bernie Moreno for the senate seat.  Even after the Central Committee of Ohio had put their support behind Bernie, there were many establishment Republican types who refused to deal with reality and instead supported Matt Dolan. 

More views on this site than most any other media platform. The power of new media. This stat from 3/25/24. That is much more than most best selling novels and cable news programs.

The approach was arrogant, and the money people continued to support Sara Carruthers even after she was rejected by the Central Committee, which carried over into several state races, most notably with Moreno.  Arrogance comes from an assumption that they have more of a right to pick people who are good for them than the average voter because they put more money into politics and deserve it.  Sara Carruthers had much more money to win in the 47th District than Diane Mullins.  I also heard a lot from people during this campaign that George Lang was just like Sara Carruthers and had donated money to each other’s campaign.  They were both RINOs, so how could I support George, not Sara?  Once a RINO, always a RINO, according to these opinions.  However, my distinction falls under the actual representation of voters and how a candidate views that role.  Obviously, with Carruthers, she was not happy with the political tide from the MAGA movement, and she was not pleased to see Lynda O’Conner lose her seat on the Lakota school board in November of 2023.  Many manipulations went on with the Central Committee in that case where Lynda received a party endorsement by tampering with the vote.  There were some games going on between West Chester and Liberty Township that forced Lynda through her endorsement process, and people responded by not voting for her, defeating her soundly at that next election.  So perhaps Sara Carruthers thought that money would win out in her election and that the party endorsement wouldn’t matter much.  And Sheriff Jones went through a similar process.  He was vulnerable if someone wanted to run against him.  However, the respect between the Central Committee and Party Establishment types had been tested, and there was apparent ambiguity on the matter, which was quite simple. 

I think it’s great that Pastor Diane has been so widely endorsed. As to the church and state separations, that has been a terrible experiment. It’s against the law to conduct election fraud, have open borders. And to traffic drugs. If the churches support Diane, the world is a better place for it.

Money does not buy what people think it does.  Traditional media is not the way to win campaigns, and disrespecting Central Committees is a bad trait in state politics, especially in Ohio.  More donors providing a larger war chest does not work like it used to, with new media being the primary way people get their news.  Some of my articles for endorsed candidates saw individually more than 35,000 hits in the week leading up to the primary election in March, which is typical for me.  The newspapers never say much about political candidates, so as voters are curious about the names they see on yard signs, they look them up and usually find my articles because they are longer and are more opinionated than what they get from traditional media.  As a result, my endorsements usually impact my pick because it is one of the best information platforms for people who don’t already have a firm pick in mind during elections.  And I knew when I did my piece against Sara Carruthers that it would offset the money she had in her war chest because radio ads, television, and yard signs didn’t work.  That’s not where voters are getting their information anymore.  It might be a launching point, but it isn’t the destination.  Voters want opinions about their candidates, and vlogs, blogs, and podcasts are the best ways to inform voters who they are voting for.  And those are much less expensive ways to communicate, but they also demand more personal authenticity than just a static one-page ad in the newspaper used to provide.  This has made it harder for RINOs to hide their liberalism, which ultimately was the downfall of Sara Carruthers.

At the heart of the matter was respect.  Chairman Todd Hall addressed that issue to the Butler County Republican Party with an obvious tone that supported Trump’s nomination for 2024 to run for president.  Any fantasies that RINOs would have had in dumping party endorsements in favor of donor sentiment or shoving through endorsements that the Central Committee did not adequately pick had diminished, as they should.  Plotting and scheming against the voters is not a good way for a political party to validate themselves because if that’s how it is, then they aren’t worth the trouble.  Over these past few elections, new media and the power of the Central Committee had been tested, but the results were noticeable.  The political parties were not in charge.  Donors couldn’t buy support with unfair leverage as they had in the past.  And Republicans who acted like Democrats were going to be punished and cast aside.  No matter how long they had been in office or how well-liked they were by the establishment.  All the schemes to eliminate Trump are based on the same logic.  And back to George Lang, he never betrayed Trump.  He might associate with people like Matt Dolan and others who are obvious RINOs.  But he never stepped away from MAGA’s ideas of making America First.  But Sara Carruthers did, and her sin was in being one of the Blue 22, which set Republicans back severely in Ohio from the Speaker seat.  And she had to pay.  Just as others who join her in deceit and betrayal, thinking they know better than the average voter what needs to happen in politics and to mask it, can spend money on more yard signs to stay in power.  That’s not what happened with Sara; her story should be a lesson to all.  Don’t betray the Central Committee by playing games.  Representing their wishes will make things a lot better for everyone involved.  And that’s how the ball bounces in politics from now on.
