I know it from years of professionalism, and most people with common sense understand it, too; you don’t sacrifice effectiveness for niceness. Now in a leadership role, I think the most effective communication is with honey rather than vinegar. People are more willing to do things in their life of their own free will if given a chance. However, they often need leadership to help them figure out what that is. And they often need a kick in the pants to reside beyond their sense of laziness to aim for higher things in life. It is up to leadership to define the goals of an organization. How people get on board with that strategy is up to them. But complacency and drag assing are not options. Often there will be resistance to the goals established by a leader, and sometimes, they will have to employ methods of motivation that might be boisterous or otherwise. This is not the same as being a bully. Our culture understands this subtle nature well; we’ve seen it in movies like Back to the Future. We all have our Biffs in life and could cheer on George McFly when he punched the bully in the face at the end of the movie to win his future wife and start a good life for himself. We see it every year in The Christmas Story where Ralphie gets tired of getting picked on by a group of bullies coming home from school, and he beats the crap out of one of them, which solved that problem forever. In my own life, I poked a big-time bully in the eye with a pair of scissors when I was in the first grade. I had to, and yes, I got into a lot of trouble. But you can bet that it was worth it; it changed many things for me for the better. There are many bullies in the world, and the focus of our academia has been to avoid conflict, which has only empowered them. And it was the wrong approach. From his years of experience, Trump understood what leadership was supposed to look like, and we saw it daily in what was called “mean Tweets.” But look what happened in the world when he could no longer provide those mean Tweets; when Twitter took down his account and through election fraud, he was removed from office. How is the world doing now?
Even George McFly Learned His Lesson
We all had our stories of bullies when we were young, and we either dealt with it or looked for some protection in group behavior to hide from them. And yes, it’s that simple in the world. Those who never learned to fight back against their bullies joined groups such as political parties to do their dirty work for them. It is clear to all that the Democrat Party has offered a chance to be a bully on their behalf with collective salvation. We see it in our businesses when consensus-building exercises stifle any attempts to impose work standards by a strong leader. People who want to hide their timidity usually do so by hiding in groups, and from there, much evil is launched. Humans trying to avoid this reality have built every part of their civilization around the idea of a democracy for just this very reason, to hide their lack of courage, leadership, and zeal for day-to-day life. With a democracy, pack hunting, they believe they can hide their soft souls from the world and do OK, just as long as they are not exposed as phonies. They go to school to get pieces of paper that tell the world that they have proven their worth academically. They join clubs so that others will say they are notable within the context of the group. They do anything and everything to hide the fact that when they had a chance to punch their version of a bully in the face, they didn’t, and they grow up bowing to every kind of corruption that there is because they essentially are terrified of conflict.
But most people understand the value of leadership, so we put President Trump in office because he had a reputation of standing up to bullies and fighting back. We saw it on television and read about it in the media for several decades, so we gave him a chance, and it worked out great. America First was a plan people could rally behind. The world was not acting aggressively toward the United States in any way. Trump had brought peace to the world one mean Tweet at a time and survived what aggressions were thrown his way by an endless stream of media and activist groups. It didn’t matter, Trump was successful every day he was in office, and the world was better off for it. Many who didn’t like him felt the way they did because they were averse to conflict, not that Trump did anything wrong. People felt that Trump should have been more “presidential,” which is just short of saying, “we want to steal your lunch money, so let us do it.” It said more about the state of other people’s minds than it did of Trump. People showed by electing him twice that they wanted leadership in the world, not the collective shield of group-oriented behavior. People in America wanted to win at life, and to do that, leadership needs to be present to set the objectives. And once those objectives were set, people also needed to be pushed to achieve those goals. We had that type of President over the last four years, and America was winning. Look what happened in just seven months after it was taken away. The world is literally on fire from every quarter of it.
Ralphie Gets Its!
We could talk all day about the malcontents around the world who want a weak American president. Without leadership, the bullies from every quarter of existence emerged to push people around, and a kind of tribalism that is entirely destructive occurs. It is the most understudied aspect of liberalism that there has ever been, the need for individuals to stand up to bullies not to join groups to seek protection from them points to the ultimate failure of their plight. The world and everything in it needs leadership that pushes individuals toward greatness. Not where groups provide refuge only to become bullies themselves spreading evil upon the earth. There is nothing good or just about a Democrat Party who protects the weak and meek by allowing them to join the masses to become the bullies themselves. And there is nothing good about a Republican Party who lets them do it the way George McFly did in Back to the Future. Allowing evil to grow is just as bad as perpetrating it yourself. With that said, I do not doubt that we are learning our lesson right now. Even if they weren’t Trump supporters before, many people are craving the mean Tweets of the Trump administration. It was better to win in the world than cower in the corner and hope that something terrible didn’t happen. We have to stand up to the bullies of the world, and we can’t become bullies ourselves along the way. Being a leader is not the same as being a bully. Our academic system needs to learn that for future prosperity. But in the meantime, mean Tweets or whatever their replacement becomes will do just fine.

One unmistakable thing is that if you get a chance to travel this summer as I have been doing, the National Parks are packed. They were filled way over capacity, everywhere. Park Rangers are perplexed with the number of people they are suddenly dealing with and are complaining that there needs to be a reservation system at the National Parks to help them manage the capacity. Now that is a very “government” thing to do; rather than embrace the surge in National Park interest, they are looking for ways to turn them into a BMV where visitors need to take a number before visiting to see their favorite tree. In the video above, I talk about the several parks my family visited recently and the news report about Zion in Utah. The story was from Idaho, which I saw on a television screen while staying there; the capacity problem was a direct byproduct of the government screw-up on Covid, where people were confined in their homes for a year. Now that they are free, they are doing all the things they wanted to do over that period, and the surge is the reaction, which government doesn’t know how to handle.
I tend to have a soft spot for park rangers and anybody who works in the park systems. We have an America the Beautiful pass, which I am very proud of. This year, we have used it a lot, which essentially waives the 35 dollar fee that it takes to get into all the parks. As this story about National Park capacity was breaking, we visited Yellowstone, one of the biggest ones. We were in the Tetons. We even went down into Dinosaur National Monument, and there are fees to get into all those parks covered by America The Beautiful passes. I am typically in a pretty good mood when I’m visiting a National Park, so I overlook more than often the apparent liberalism of the government employees, including park rangers. But I heard more bitching from them than I cared to. Even over at the Yellowstone lodges at Old Faithful, workers complained about the number of people at the park because I was there in a midweek setting, and the employees expected an easy day. Instead, at 9 AM, they had rushes of people that resembled 2 PM on a Saturday, and they were not happy about it.
I deal with these kinds of things by getting up at 6 AM and getting everywhere before everyone else does. The crowds didn’t bother me much until we were leaving. The crowds can be managed if you think out of the box. But if you think you’re going to wake up at noon and hit the parks, you can forget it, which is why Zion has already implemented an appointment system. They had an appointment system at Dinosaur National Monument as well, which irritated me. We were so early in the morning that it didn’t matter, but in the middle of Utah, they were seeing surges that the park rangers were having a hard time dealing with. It was both fun to watch and grossly sick because they were essentially upset that they had to work, which they aren’t used to. Other parks are feeling the pressure. Thankfully when we were there, Yellowstone hadn’t yet done such a thing as a reservation system. It defies the purpose of spontaneous adventure when you must check in with a park ranger to see a geyser. But these are new problems caused by the government that government is not prepared to deal with.
What I find interesting is the human reaction to the problem. The Covid lockdowns were pretty scary stuff. The idea that a government that didn’t want to control the virus that came from China could destroy the economy, lock people in their homes and expect some tame result at the end of it is unfathomably ignorant. There were solutions that were ignored, such as hydroxychloroquine and zinc. Covid-19 was a self-imposed stupidity because there were ways to solve the problem. The government ignored them, hoping to control people until this July 4th Holiday under the Biden administration. But the dam broke this spring as people pushed their governors to ignore the CDC rules and reopen their economies, and thus, out came this rush of interest in the National Parks. It looked for a time that the new standard would remain and that we would never return to a time in America without masks and social distancing. But much to our credit, people got sick of being lied to, and they just started to ignore the government, and now there is this massive surge in National Park attendance. People spent their time in isolation thinking about the things they’d like to do, like going to Yellowstone, and the moment they could, they did.
We saw the same thing at Jenny Lake in the Tetons. It was early in the morning when we arrived, and cars had already filled the parking lot and were piled up down the road toward Jackson for miles. Now Jenny Lake is very nice; they have great accommodations. Once we finally arrived in the little village, they have there like restrooms, a visitor center, and a gift shop at the foot of the magnificent mountains; it looked like Disney World with people occupying almost every bit of the available sidewalk. It was packed. The employees at those places had a kind of blasted look on their faces. I was glad to see it. I think it was good for people to get out and see such magnificent places. I think it’s also good for the employees to be challenged a bit. Maybe they got jobs with the National Park Service because they were liberal and didn’t want to work very hard, but this was a good reality check. Whatever the viewpoint, the only reason can come from people leaving their homes and seeing their national parks, even if they were crowded. I didn’t mind the crowds at all, but there were significant crowds that would have just been worse if there was a reservation system.
The lesson is that this is what happens when government tampers with the will of the people. Unforeseen circumstances are bound to arise. This built-up serge of interest in National Parks was not planned. The reaction by the public has taken the government quite by shock; they were very flat-footed in dealing with the market needs. And since the government does not make decisions based on market forces but bureaucratic sentiment, they were clueless about the outcome. But that problem isn’t for us, the visitors. They’re going to have to figure it all out, the government. They’ll have to complain to someone else because we don’t want to hear it. In the future, when they think of shutting down society and the economy that fuels it, they need to think of these mistakes. These surges may last for years. Things may never get back to normal for the National Parks as the lockdowns look to have triggered people’s desire to do something in their life they used to put off. I suspect that the new normal that everyone has been talking about isn’t accepting lockdowns and more government regulations on personal behavior. Instead, an increase in people not putting off what they could do today might have otherwise been inclined to wait until tomorrow. Because with government, they may screw up everything tomorrow, leaving today as the only choice to do something.
I’m not the biggest Amazon.com fan these days. So much so that after what they did to Parler, I removed my upcoming book from their Bookbaby Publishing business and went somewhere else. They are using their power to try to steer political theater into a direction favorable to them. But they are a business, and they do an excellent job at what they do, so it burns me up that there are accident reports that are starting to come out against them recently announcing that their workplace injuries have doubled. I explain the details in the video above, but the essence of this story is a large part of how government turns allies toward them through threats of activism by their compliance culture is one of the biggest problems of our modern time. Government makes activists out of companies like Amazon with a gun to their head to work against us, and we all must deal with this problem eventually.
Mike Lindell has certainly put it all out on the line. His new video on the election fraud issue has been out for a few weeks, and it has some very compelling information in it. Now I’ve said my position on the matter; I think Biden and his Democrats need to choke on the election fraud by being forced to stay in office. It’s hard to govern a country when you didn’t win it fair and square, and it is rather entertaining to watch these idiots squirm, knowing how guilty they are. I mean, that press conference from Harris in Mexico City was probably the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen in a public office. But in Lindell’s video called Absolutely 9-0, he shows how China and other hostile countries tampered with the 2020 presidential election through digital machines, which has opened up a whole can of worms. However, as I explain in the video above, this crime was intended to be beyond our Supreme Court. It was committed as a dare to prosecute with a world court because the perpetrators are daring war and have no respect for our judicial system. And that’s why they committed the crime because they are betting that we won’t call them on it.
There are many late to the game regarding China. And many still don’t know why Trump’s idea for charging them 10 trillion dollars for what they cost America during the Covid-19 Plandemic is a great idea. Remember, the National Debt in the United States was right around 17 trillion dollars at the end of December 2019, right before Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates told us we needed to shut down the economy during an election year. After just a year and a half, the national debt is now around 30 trillion dollars, and we have proof that the coronavirus was born and released from a lab in Wuhan, China. Dr. Fauci was helping develop the virus with American tax money. So why wouldn’t we demand China pay for our damages for a tragedy they caused? Well, when Trump is president again, it looks like that’s one of the ways we’ll get our national debt back under control. Make those responsible for the cost incursion pay!
Even Trump is making a video appearance, and all the talk at that event is in 6 weeks. It’s going to hit the fan in a big way. The Supreme Court will review these audit findings from the various states and the legal analysis because it will make this Wuhan lab story look like a small thing when it breaks. And we are going to have a situation where legal precedents will be forced upon us. The Biden presidency will have to be recalled. If he stays in office, everything he does over the next three years will have to be undone or ignored. He is functioning without any authority to do anything due to the election fraud being so bad and noticeable. It’s going to be messy, very messy. But the big question regardless is how long Joe Biden can stay in office with all this scrutiny? How long can the media continue to push the narrative that this was a regular election in 2020 and that the results should be accepted even though we know they are wrong. And what the hell are we going to do as a country with these facts given to us? Stay tuned!
I’m sure Rochelle Walensk is a nice lady who would be a friendly backyard barbecue host in Georgetown. She might even be quite good at picking brackets for March Madness. She looks like the kind of gal who knows something about college sports. But when it comes to the role she plays as Director of the CDC, she has become quite a villain when covering for her buddy, Dr. Fauci, and his funding of “gain of function” research in the now-famous Wuhan lab in China. It is pretty clear Covid-19 was tampered with at the Wuhan lab, and much of that has been blamed on the Chinese government. But now that the smoke is clearing, we see what direct role Dr. Fauci played in unleashing that virus to the world. And why he has become the leading voice promoting the pandemic status to the world, which has ended up costing us all trillions and trillions of dollars and has killed many people. While Fauci has been posing for a picture beside his pool, becoming an international celebrity, it’s pretty known now that Covid would never have happened if not for Fauci’s tampering, to begin with. And, of course, Rochelle Walensk knows about it all and covers the government-industry that unleashed Covid-19 in such a destructive way.
One question that comes up with all this, if China is so rich, why aren’t they funding their own Wuhan lab. Why is Bill Gates so involved? And why is Fauci funneling taxpayer money into a Chinese lab to produce a super virus that spreads so quickly? Who came up with the story that someone ate a bat, and that’s how the virus got out? I mean, the whole thing was telegraphed in November of 2019 at Event 201. Rochelle Walensk knew about that event and what the pre-planning pandemic outbreak was simulating. Bill Gates was trying to cover up his bad sexual deeds in his marriage to keep Malinda happy and quiet about his Jeffery Epstein adventures with little kids. Nothing like saving the world from a made-up Wuhan virus to shut everyone up. Fighting climate change was an excellent way to keep the escapades of failing marriage off the front pages and using Dr. Fauci’s gain of function virus to do so. It’s all coming together. We can see the puzzle pattern because we’ve found the edges. And like a nice lady, Rochelle Walensk at the CDC ran a cover story for the entire crime by attempting to backtrack everything now that the case is all falling apart.
She must really, Walensk at the CDC sees the writing on the wall. States all over America are stopping their compliance with the government mandates. I started to see this trend over the winter as I traveled from one end of the country to another. People were taking off their masks, ignoring the social distancing guidelines, and they were getting back to life as usual. I noticed it when we went to the movies to see Godzilla vs. Kong (a pretty good film, by the way), and people were sick and tired of this stupid Covid crap. I saw it as the zoo when we visited recently. Even the zoo filled with liberal employees was tired of masks and social distancing. I talked a bit to the girl who ran the train at the zoo and asked her how she felt about cleaning the seats after every train ride. She was expressing readiness for disobedience. Those stories are everywhere. Now the government is losing its ability to control the population with fear, so Walensk has no choice but to reverse the mask policy, cover for Dr. Fauci and cooperate to get the country back open again. The gig is up, and the CDC either gets with it, or the world will see that they have lost control of the population and will have lost it forever. Yielding now gives the government types hope that all is not yet lost.
But I would say for them that they blew it. Any trust we had in the CDC or government in general over a possibility of a pandemic is gone. We were fooled once, and it won’t happen again. We suspended our Constitutional limits on government for over a year, and that was devastating. The government abused its power, and we all suffered for it. And worse yet, we allowed this Covid virus to tamper with our elections. If the government hadn’t gotten involved, we would have likely had very different election results up and down the tickets. We do not have the proper representation in our government as a result. The government used Covid to tamper with our elections, which is a crime on a massive scale. Without question, the CDC Director knows all about it; she knows that Fauci was involved with the Wuhan lab that unleased this disaster of a virus. She knows that he is lying about it all on the news every night, using chaos to divert attention away from his crimes. She knows that the government used CDC guidelines to steal an election. To crippling the economy. To kill people in nursing homes so that the government could point to actual deaths.
All serious stuff, and now the story is breaking, so what is she supposed to do? States are opening regardless of what the CDC has to say about it. Florida opening all the way put a nail in the coffin of Covid. After that, other states followed. Even Ohio, where many of the lockdowns started under Mike DeWine, is opening again on June 2nd. If they somehow fail to do so, the state legislature will do it for him on June 23rd. The emergency powers that the Governor has have been taken from him. The same story could be said to be happening in many other states as well.
That leaves the CDC in the precarious position of backtracking for their survival. The parade of mistakes and maliciousness that led to this moment can’t be taken back, and nobody can afford to dig the hole even deeper. Wisely, Rochelle Walensk knows that it’s time to fold. Possibly to even win back some support by playing along. But one thing is relatively straightforward, people, voters, are done with Covid-19. The government abused the trust that most people have in government. Too many people see the crimes that were committed in the process. And now it’s time to pay. Dr. Fauci played with fire, and he got burnt. The CDC overplayed its hand to help cover crimes, and now it’s coming back on them. This is the reason for all the confusion, where the CDC said so much about wearing the masks to fight a virus, which is about as unscientific as anybody could get, to now saying take the masks off, and have a good life. Forget anything that happened. Sorry. Well, that’s not going to fly; people will be talking about this case for decades. It will still be written about 100 years from now regarding what not to do. And all the names that are contained in that story will live on in history as some of the biggest buffoons ever to roam the earth. And Rochelle Walensk knows now that her name will be on that list.
My wife was getting some items for our family New Year’s Eve Party, as she proudly showed me a bottle of bourbon called Old Dan Tucker distilled in Kentucky. She told me she had gotten it because it reminded her of Mr. Edwards from her favorite television show, Little House on the Prairie when she was a little girl. That brought to my mind the thought of Mr. Edwards in that old show about westward expansion and remembered that Mr. Edwards used to sing the song Old Dan Tucker whenever he was happy:
Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man He washed his face in the frying pan He combed his hair with a wagon wheel And died of the toothache in his heel
My wife showed me the bottle and read off the list of menu items she planned to prepare then went delightfully back into the kitchen to begin cooking. She had a pop to her step that was fun to watch and I realized that it was part of her personal culture from her childhood that had put her in such a good mood. Thinking of Old Dan Tucker requires me to explain a bit further what I alluded to yesterday in my declaration of the difference between a producer of wealth and a simple whore. Not that Old Dan Tucker was either one, but rather it’s that spirit behind such characters that can either create a person of self-reliance or a social parasite. The video below best exemplifies what I have been saying for quite some time regarding the real solution to most problems that exist all around us right here, right now, and that most of the peril the human race faces is self-induced and rather silly. To review my article from yesterday click here:
The hold up of this wealth is what triggers massive conspiracies like the Bilderberg Group and the Illuminati and pawns like Communist Party USA leader Jarvis Tyner to play right into the hands of these speculative conspiracies by executing their designed role. Tyner stated over the recent Christmas break that he draws a clear right/left battle line and the communist’s commitment to Party ‘friend’ President Barack Obama and to the Democratic Party cause by saying:
“2012 is a big election year and as we know the stakes are very high. The right-wing Republican opposition unashamedly defends the wealth and privilege of the 1% over the 99% that includes tens of millions who are struggling to survive. These self-proclaimed patriots are willing to wreck our country in order to defeat Barack Obama in 2012 elections. Our party and youth league are an active part of the great democratic mass that is standing”
You can read the rest of that article for yourself at this link:
This sort of control isn’t isolated to small countries in Africa, but are easily seen in places like North Korea as the death of Kim Jong Il spawned worldwide concern over what kind of “leader” the son would be, who is not yet 30 years of age.
What makes people stand along those snow packed roads mourning the loss of a man who controlled every aspect of their lives? What keeps them in line while just a few soldiers guard the funeral procession? What prevents the people from overrunning the government from the communist elite and taking their freedoms back? The answer is the static pattern of culture. The people you have seen in Ethipoia and the people of North Korea are a beaten people because their culture was taken from them and is controlled by their rulers.
And as to Old Man Tucker—oh he’s alive as Bruce Springsteen will show you here from a 2007 concert in Italy. Listen to the audience, they know the song……and I think it’s about time America stop apologizing for being good and focus on playing Old Man Tucker to the people of Ethiopia, North Korea, and the girls on K-Street and hang the tyrants of communism, progressivism, and the political class atop a flag pole by their pant legs.
Why does any school system need a Public Relations Director? That was the question Doc Thompson and I discussed on 700 WLW December 27, 2011 on the heels of a mysterious payout from the Lakota School District to their public relations director Laura Kursman of $90,000. Since the announcement of this payout Lakota has been mysteriously quiet about the situation even as they are trying to show fiscal responsibility after their third levy defeat. This has led to an enormous amount of speculation and I have personally received several emails explaining to me the details of the payout, which are unofficial, but are all the public has to go on since neither Kursman nor Lakota Schools have offered any clarification on the matter. Listen to that broadcast by clicking on the video below:

Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over. 32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc. 33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus. 34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities. 35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI. 36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions. 37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business. 38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat. 39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals. 40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity, masturbation and easy divorce. 41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents. 42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to solve economic, political or social problems. 43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government. 44. Internationalize the Panama Canal. 45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
