Yes, We Have to Impeach Joe Biden: Give Democrats worse for all the trouble they have caused

Wait, you know they are bluffing, right?  The Democrats don’t want Republicans to impeach their puppet president, Joe Biden.  Senators like Fetterman and his little hoodie are talking tough as if seeking the impeachment of the criminal Joe Biden would boost his public support and ensure he will be in the White House for another term.  They know better.  They count on you being so much of a sucker that you won’t figure it out.  But they don’t want you to know that.  What they fear most is that you’ll figure out the truth, that they are all paper tigers of Marxism intent to bluff their way into an overthrow of America.  And they want you to think they are daring you to conduct your own destruction.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Democrats know they can’t win elections unless they can rig them, like Brazil’s elections have been going on in Russia, China, and Venezuela.  The Marxists are trying the same thing in America, and so far, gullible Americans have let them have their way, and we are supposed to believe that we are a 50/50 country right down the middle.  But that’s not at all true, either.  That is how the uniparty of globalists wants you to believe things to be.  That is not the actuality.  Democrats have only gained power by bluffing their way to it, and Republicans have been played as suckers for most of the last two centuries.  And until they fight back, Democrats will continue to steal power through nefarious means and laugh about how they keep getting away with it.  Democrats will never wake up one day and apologize for what they’ve done.  They intend to destroy our country and us with it and they don’t care about your feelings.  They are ruthless.  Never forget that they are what John Fetterman, the goofy senator from Pennsylvania represents. 

The first reason we must impeach Joe Biden is because he deserves it.  He has been caught lying to everyone and selling his office to foreign and domestic enemies for much of his life.  He’s certainly not the only one, and yes, many politicians on all sides are guilty of precisely what Joe Biden has done.  But he’s president of our highest office in America, and we must protect its sanctity for our preservation.  That means Joe has to go through the wringer, and it has to be embarrassing.  We have to do it because it’s the right thing to do, not some political calculation where we worry it might hand him the next election.  First of all, it won’t.  But if it did, it wouldn’t matter.  When anybody does something wrong, they should be punished for it.  And the more powerful they are, the more public their embarrassment should be so that others might learn a lesson and not do as Joe did in the future.  History needs to remember Joe Biden in a salacious and horrendously corrupt way, because in America, we must continuously pursue justice, no matter where it takes us.  Our fear, because so many other people are also dishonest, keeps Joe Biden from being prosecuted, which should have happened long ago.  But now we’ve caught him and we can’t turn away.  Patriotism does nothing if we have loved ones die in foreign wars, but we can’t even secure an election, keep corruption out of public offices, and allow ourselves to be suckered by government gangs like the one Joe Biden has been running for decades. 

But secondly, look what they did to Trump, a rightly elected Republican president.  They impeached him, and who thinks we will move on in our country without revenge?  Democrats have it coming.  Forget all this stupid turn-the-other-cheek stuff.  Joe Biden and the government thugs running in his crowd must be punished severely.  They took the shot at our politicians, so they have it coming back at them.  They did not worry about going after Trump, even trying to jail him, because they were playing hardball.  All this taking the higher ground stuff is nonsense.  When political opponents come after you and your team members, you take them out.  You give them back everything they’ve given you and more.  And for what they did to Trump, they all deserve a good beating, everyone from Chuck Schumer to Fetterman.  They are disgraceful, and they don’t care even to be caught.  They have lied to our faces, jailed our supporters, and deliberately tried to take out our representative in the Executive Branch.  They are fair game for the worst we can do to them because they’ll do it again if we don’t.  It’s not like we are waiting for them to punch us in the mouth.  They already have done it.  They wanted a fight, they picked it.  And their aggression has been what it was because they think Republicans won’t fight back.  They believe Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals tells them so based on his history of studying mob behavior.  This is a government mob, and there is only one form of expression they understand: force.  Force for the sake of power to eradicate our political enemies.  In the end, there should be so little left of them that they won’t even exist well enough to have a Netflix account. 

So don’t cry for them. They did all this to themselves.  They chose to live the way they do and to break all the many crimes they have committed.  Republicans can’t just talk tough; they have to be tough.  And they have to earn respect.  Democrats need to fear Republicans, starting with a history of follow-through.  Democrats don’t respect Mitch McConnell or Kevin McCarthy, who is just being friends with people like Marjorie Taylor Green so that she can be controlled within the Freedom Movement.  McCarthy wouldn’t even speak to people like Margorie if not for that.  These are professional con artists, many of them who are drawn to government work because it’s a target-rich environment.  There is only one political calculation to consider regarding impeachment: the cost of not doing it when it’s so apparent that Joe Biden should be impeached.  We get criminals like Joe Biden because too many people in the past let him bully them into submission.  And he has brought a disgrace to our senate and Executive Branch.  Why do you think they want to drop the dress code in the Senate? Because they are trying to destroy it.  Not sustain it.  And do you think they care about integrity?  They are inspired to break the law because they want to overwhelm the law and destroy it and the country with it.  It’s too late to save them or to work with them in a bipartisan way.  Democrats declared war on America long ago, but people have been too slow to recognize it.  And that has empowered these domestic enemies to do their worst, and they have.  These are all the reasons and more that we must not only impeach Joe Biden but all those like him who have abused their offices at the expense of the public.  And to make it very painful in the process.

What to Know About the Ken Paxton Impeachment Trial: The old power of party politics wants to be in charge again, but it never will

What anybody needs to know about the Ken Paxton impeachment trial in Texas is that he’s a MAGA supporter who has been very influential.  At the outset of the 2020 election, as the Attorney General of Texas Paxton established one of the best cases for election fraud proof, which upset all those RINOs who wanted a clean break with Trump.  So, the old Bush power in Texas put a target on Paxton’s back right away.  And recently, Paxton was going after Google over privacy issues.  So, this trial in Texas, where the House has already impeached him from his position and now the Senate is going through the process of hearing the evidence cast against him, is an old game by the old forces who are clinging to their power from MAGA challenges to their established order.  It reminds me of a case in my county within the Republican Party, where legal warfare is regularly employed to destroy political rivals.  The core of the dispute is to resist the apparent changes that are part of the MAGA movement and the hope that if those challenges are destroyed, everything will snap back into the controls of the old days.  Where the Bush family was in charge, alliances with big companies like Google could occur under the radar, and election fraud could be conducted in the open, and nobody would question it.  It is interesting to watch, especially as RINO Republicans have attempted to shame Paxton with references to an affair he had that was well settled before any of these current issues emerged, which are being used to attack his character.  People see through it that it’s essentially the same type of case thrown at President Trump, and the results will be the same.

The Ken Paxton trial in Texas is an ongoing legal battle that has captured the attention of many across the United States. The problem centers around allegations of securities fraud against the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton. The case has been controversial, with many questioning the motives behind the investigation and subsequent charges. At the heart of the matter is the accusation that Ken Paxton committed securities fraud by encouraging investors to buy stock in a technology company without disclosing that he was receiving compensation for the recommendation. The case has been mired in legal battles and delays, with Paxton’s lawyers arguing that the charges should be dismissed due to a lack of evidence. As it is going, the case against Paxton has been weak at best, with the best parts of it involving going to the FBI with no evidence, just accusations. And if there were any merit to the case, the Biden DOJ would have picked it up because they want to take down Paxton for his election case against the federal handling of the 2020 election. But there was nothing there, leaving the entire issue to the flimsy holdovers of the Bush legacy control over Texas. So everything is coming out petty instead of having any good legal standing. As bad as it all is to attempt to impeach an attorney general by his party, over essentially, nothing but to get rid of a member of MAGA in the power politics of Texas, the attempt says far more than any of the evidence does that has been established against Paxton. We have uncovered a monster that we always knew was there but has emerged in the wake of Trump in the White House and the distinct fear that he will return, with people like Paxton gaining power.

I see these fights all over the country, and they are happening in just about every county.  As I have said about my county of Butler County, this is the number one issue challenging everyone.  Many supported Trump during his first term because he was in power then, but they held their nose and couldn’t wait for him to be removed from office, which they cheered for when they thought nobody was looking.  In the wake of one of the most massive crimes in world history, which was the stolen election of 2020, and the Covid release of a bioweapon against the public to allow for cheating to occur, no matter who was harmed in the process, you could see clearly where people were politically.  Many put on masks and surrendered everything to the health administrators, hoping that a superior power, more significant than Trump, would knock him out of office.  These are the same people who, just months before, would gut their mothers for a chance to get a VIP pass to a Trump event and stand next to him for a picture.  I watched all this action with curiosity.  And over the last three years, it has been obvious what they were up to all along: they wanted to go back to the regional powers, such as what the Bush family has over Texas.  And there is always some family like that all over the nation, and they were pleased to snap back into that control in the wake of Trump.  They wanted their power back, so anybody expressing Trump-like opinions now that Biden was in the White House were a target, and everyone expected Trump to be gone forever, in favor of some controlled asset like Ron DeSantis, they bet everything on that future.  And that isn’t what’s happening.

I tried to explain this to many people at our Lincoln Day dinner in Butler County, Ohio, after Ron DeSantis had just come and spoken to everyone.  Many were hoping that DeSantis was going to be the Trump killer.  I told them that Ron was going nowhere, which is precisely what has happened.  I found it surprising that nobody wanted to talk about Trump.  And those who did, and we saw this same kind of radicalism on the Lakota school board, where the former Trump supporters were quick to adjust to this new Biden world as if the former Republican president had never happened.  It was as if some great eraser would come along and put all the people who wanted power back in charge forever.  It was a bizarre exchange.  On that school board, the Lynda O’Conner’s of the world wanted to destroy the Darbi Boddys over essential political philosophy, establishment against MAGA.  And now there is panic in those groups because they have bet everything on the old forces destroying these new rivals.  All the political hits have not beaten their enemies; it has only made them stronger, just like what is happening with Trump.  And, of course, what is happening to Ken Paxton.  The frustration is that Paxton will emerge from this impeachment process with more political power, which is the case with all these traditional attacks.  The old games no longer work; people don’t like the kind of society that we have had with them in charge, such as the Bush family or the DeWine clan in Ohio.  People want better political parties to represent them, not those who make deals with Google to ruin our country, destroy our Constitution, and tell us that we’ll all be better after the compromises.  That them selling us out to foreign interests was to our advantage somehow.  But many have realized that the political parties, especially RINO Republicans, have not been good for us, and we want real change.  And we’re not going to accept sell-outs.  We’ve given them a chance in the past, and we are now forever against their further attempts.  And that they can get rid of Trump, Ken Paxton, or even regionally, Darbi Boddy or Roger Reynolds, and people will still be upset with the lackluster RINOs.  They will never regain their old power, and in the future, they will only be more and more resented.  That is the future of politics; we want more like Ken Paxton and fewer Jeb Bushes.  We want people who represent us, not some ruling-class aristocracy.  And those needs will only increase in the future; we will never go back to the old days that caused all these problems in the first place.

Meet Russ Loges for Lakota School Board: A great guy to help with some looming challenges

I liked Russ Loges the first time he ran for the Lakota school board.  I came to know of him during the last election as my focus was on the Republican-endorsed candidates in the previous election.  Russ wanted to remain independent as he was getting involved in the school board business then.  However, without any name recognition and much support outside of his efforts, he had an excellent showing, gaining several thousand votes with a noticeably conservative position.  I have since met Russ at a few events here and there, and each time, I found that I liked him quite a lot.  He’s a very likable person who has an excellent temperament.  And now that we are in September with the November election coming up quickly, one that will have a lot of Democrats voting because abortion and marijuana will be on the ballot, so there will be unusually high voter engagement during an off-year election, it’s time to get endorsements.  And Russ has already received an approval from some Central Committees around Butler County.  One of the two that are specific to Lakota schools.  So, he came to a meet the candidate night with the Liberty Township Central Committee to present himself with some questions and answers, which are shown here for those interested.  I’ve been to quite a lot of these over the years, and this one was unique.  I liked Russ Loges before the event, but after, I found my opinion of him had inflated quite a lot.  He answered many tough questions very well and cared a lot about what’s going on in Lakota and the specific challenges that are on the horizon.  Russ Loges is precisely the kind of person that the community would benefit from putting on the school board during the upcoming election, and he will win the support of many more Republicans for a party endorsement due to his excellent conservative positions. 

Yet what Russ Loges is not is a person trapped in ideology.  He’s a very even, measured person getting into the school board business from parental concerns.  We have seen over the years that, typically, the best school board candidates who become board members are passionate parents who want to make things better for everyone.  It’s a generally thankless job that doesn’t pay back any real fiscal compensation, but to play in that game, you must raise a substantial amount of money to become impactful in an election, especially in the Lakota school district, which has around 100,000 people within it.  When Russ ran before, he did it as a concerned parent who wanted to help.  This time, he has a broader approach that makes him well-positioned for much more support.  And given the crowd reaction at the Liberty Township Central Committee event, many more will become very eager to support his run for the Lakota school board.  Based on his answers, Russ is more than prepared for some of the complex challenges that are coming quickly on the horizon, and to deal with those challenges, Lakota will need people who care which was clearly expressed during the questions asked by Matt King during the event.  Russ has kids in the district and a wife who is a teacher.  Currently, he is a nurse and his bedside manner is instantly noticeable.  He’s personable, cares, and wants to help his community, so all those traits were very encouraging and made it easy for everyone who met him to get excited about it. 

On those times that I had met him, I wasn’t sure if he was the real deal.  So often, when it comes to political events and the people filling specific seats, you get images of people but not much knowledge of the person.  When I learned Russ Loges was a nurse, I instantly thought of a smart car driving, COVID mask-wearing big government type.  But I was able to meet Russ outside this event, getting out of a big truck, and he’s a good fit for the conservative base of Butler County, Ohio.  He’s outdoors-oriented and robustly presents himself.  He reminded me of many of my friends in the fast draw community, even down to the jokes.  Good, sincere people who love the American flag and the many who revere it with the pledge of allegiance.  He’s certainly not a political radical but more of an even-balanced family man who is proud of his country and wants to help it improve.  He’s a big guy with a warm personality who comes across as sincere without many pretenses.  As he shook my hand, he seemed ready to go fishing, or hunting more than anything.  He has a very natural leadership ability that is instantly noticeable.  So, it wasn’t a surprise to learn that he has already sat down with the Lakota superintendent to talk about improving test scores for the students and building a successful team that can tackle some of the challenges looming.  You could tell that he wasn’t just a nurse as an occupation, but that he was a leader as well.  He is used to managing other people because he has a balanced approach to communication that has been well-tested by experience. 

There are a lot of challenges on the horizon for Lakota and it will take outstanding leadership to meet them.  There is a teacher’s contract coming up that could be very contentious.  There is a facilities plan also emerging that will require a small fortune.  There are indications that the current school board is planning to seek a tax increase even as property value rate assessments will increase sharply due to state challenges.  So passing a levy will be even more challenging, especially in an environment where school choice will increasingly become the reality of tomorrow, regarding education.  It would be easy to sit on the sidelines and turn away from some of these community problems, especially for those who have grown kids.  But Russ and his wife plan to be in Lakota for a while.  He mentioned that he wanted Lakota to be good for his grandkids, so he’s planning to keep deep roots in the community, so this isn’t a fly-by-night endeavor for him.  He wants to help, and after meeting him, I am sure he is just the kind of person we need to work on some of these very difficult problems that are on the horizon, storm clouds coming in fast that will be painful.  Yet, those problems are manageable with the right kind of people to deal with them, and Russ Loges was very encouraging.  He could have easily won if more people had known him during the last race.  More people will know him this time so he should be able to get votes in the required numbers just by letting people get to know him.  I will certainly be voting for him, and I’ll be excited to do it.  Things don’t always go how you want them to in politics, but sometimes you get to meet good people, and if not for this school board race, I wouldn’t know Russ Loges any other way.  And after meeting him, I’m happy I did.

How to Make a Good Team in Sports and Politics: The point of everything is to give voters options

It will continue to be one of the universe’s great mysteries why people can look at sports teams and have opinions about what they should be doing, but they can’t apply those same methods to their lives.  This is a prominent issue every year in pre-season football with the mini camps as teams figure out which players they will cut and which will make their final roster.  Good teams figure out the right players and get them all pointed in the right direction for the success or failure of a season.  If the players are allowed to pick their fellow players, teams tend not to do so well.  It takes good leadership to figure it out and put people together who likely wouldn’t figure it out for themselves.  Good teams tend to have players playing together who wouldn’t otherwise be friends.  One of the mysterious qualities of leadership is to see things of value beyond the choice of friendships, and when it comes to sports, most people get it.  They understand what makes success and have many opinions about it.  But they can’t do it when it comes time to utilize those same skills in their lives.  That is certainly the situation in business.  And it is undoubtedly the case in politics.  The goal of all these endeavors is to figure out what success looks like, whether it be winning a Super Bowl, having a great business quarter, or providing a great political party to the voting public; once success is understood, then leadership needs to do what it must to give that result.  It’s not complicated.  Yet, it remains one of the least utilized factors in human interaction. 

There is only one correct measure to winning in politics; it is in a political party providing the voting public with good people they can vote for.  Any other action is missing the point.  If a political party is not focused on those attributes, then they aren’t trying to be a good political party.  I would say this is a problem all over America, in every aspect of county politics, no matter where we talk about it.  And that is certainly the case with the Butler County Republican Party in Ohio, where I live.  I can say that I know many people at that party, and I personally liked them all in some way or another.  If you sit down and talk to people, I can usually find something I like about just about anybody.  But the problem is, do they make an excellent political party just because you want them?  And in most cases, that is not the reality.  Politics should only aim to provide voters and taxpayers with good people to represent them best.  When political parties lose sight of that strategy, things go wrong.  And that is how RINOs in the Republican Party come to be.  Most people get into politics for ideological reasons.  However, the concessions they make to get along with other people become detrimental to their representation of the voter base, which is the value of the party brand.  If people have good representation in politics, then the brand of the party could be said to be good.  If voters don’t, they start to lose faith in the system, voter engagement lowers, and the direction of victory in politics changes dramatically.  When voters feel that the people they elect don’t represent them, we could say that politics has failed.

It’s just like the comparison with the sports team that desires to put a winning team on the field so people come to the games and feel good about the chances for a victory, so they buy beer and overpriced hot dogs at the concessions, which is really how the team makes their money, how they measure their value to the customer base.  If the team isn’t winning, there are fewer fans to buy hot dogs, to put it simply.  The same holds in politics.  I know many people who want to run for office within the Butler County Republican Party.  But, they do not feel they can remain people of integrity because of the restrictions of party politics.  So, we end up with the wrong people running for office while much better candidates that the public would love to have representing them are sitting on the sidelines.  This is a case where the players on the field pick people they like and are comfortable with, not the leadership of the voting public deciding how that team would shape out.  Too often, and this year of 2023 is undoubtedly a good example, many good people are not participating in the political process because they have learned that they aren’t in the cool kids club and will never be invited.  Because the party is picking the members, not the voters.  And instead of letting the voters shape the party, the players are forming the team; then they wonder why many fans are not supporting their losing effort.

Not everyone gets into politics for the same reasons.  I understand that some feel that getting into politics protects their business interests from a corrosive government and provides a barrier to their efforts to keep their businesses healthy.  These are not ideological people but practical ones who see government as dangerous to their interests in business, so they get involved in politics to protect their efforts.  And those people are trying to play nice in the sandbox with ideologically based people who enter politics for reasons of genuine philosophy.  And those kinds of people are scary to those looking for political stability.  I get it.  Just like a wide receiver on a football team being upset that a new tight end is playing the slot receiver role, the wide receiver might feel like the coaching staff is trampling on their turf.  But so what? Maybe that is the best way to become a winning team.  That doesn’t mean that the tight end should be run off the team to make the wide receiver feel like they have job security and aren’t threatened by challengers.  Challenges make the team better.  But then better for whom?  For the players or the fans?  That is what must be decided, and what I have seen from the GOP in general, especially since Trump has been out of office, is a party for the players, not for the voters.  It’s the players making the teams they want to play with.  They are not trying to give the voting public the best representatives they can get.  And if a political party isn’t doing that, they aren’t trying to be the best they can be for their communities.  While such a concept may not be complicated, it remains the biggest stumbling block to any successful venture within human endeavor.   And that is certainly the case in politics.  Some great people want to participate, but they have been told in so many words or less that politics is about maintaining friendships and that everyone needs to stay in their lane and behave.  But that is not what voters want, and until political parties listen, the public will continue to be let down by the result.

The West Chester Tea Party Does Not Endorse Lynda O’Conner for the Lakota School Board: And neither do I

For clarity, the West Chester Tea Party has not, and will not endorse Lynda O’Conner for the Lakota School Board.  There has been some rattling around from several people that they would, but they have told me personally that those rumors were untrue and they do not support her.  And neither do I.  We all have long friendships with Lynda and other candidates who these days call themselves Republicans but have drifted way to the political left.  But friendships or past relationships don’t make a good candidate.  Whether or not they represent our values to earn a vote is the issue at hand.  Too often, endorsements are given out because of friendships, not actual performance.  Lynda O’Conner has been the school board president for a while now, and she has attended Tea Party meetings in West Chester for over a decade and has formed relationships with many of us over the years.  However, based on her performance and what she did to Darbi Boddy as she begged us all to give her a conservative school board, the moment she had it, she essentially turned into the progressive governor that Ohio had, John Kasich, and betrayed us openly, even recklessly.  I tend to move on when I experience people like that.  I’ll give them a chance once, and once they show who they are, I don’t get too kinked up about it.  It’s always worth a try to give someone a chance.  Then, once they show who they are, you make decisions and move on.  Knowing she has betrayed many people in the Liberty movement within the Lakota school district and is running again, she is seeking endorsements for the upcoming election.  I had some reason to believe the rumors that the West Chester Tea Party might endorse Lynda, but quickly, they set the record straight and wanted to make sure they screamed from the mountaintops that they would not support Lynda O’Connor for the Lakota School Board and based on what they have learned about her, they never would. 

I wouldn’t usually talk about something that happened that was confidential, but looking back on it as I have, those privileges are meant within the context of friendly trust.  Yet after what happened with the previous Lakota school superintendent and the behavior against free speech that Lynda led against the incoming school board member Darbi Boddy, it’s clear what was going on, and I’m still insulted that she thought so little of me to try it.  I mean, she should have known better.  I spent hours and hours with Lynda O’Conner on the phone, meeting her in person, trying to help her.  But from her side, all she was doing was consensus-building in the classic sense against someone she had targeted as a political rival in the community.  And that didn’t become clear until the days after a specific meeting in the basement of some of our mutual Tea Party friends in May of 2022.  I should know what she was up to because I have covered these modern versions of The Delphi Technique for years.  It’s one of the most corrosive tools used in all public schools.  After a contentious school board meeting where I spoke in favor of Darbi Boddy, it was clear Lynda was trying to run her off the school board over minor issues.  Lynda had recruited Darbi to give her a majority on the board, along with Isaac Adi, and I did what I could to smooth out the edges and give credibility from the freedom movement side of things.  If I were on board with the effort, it would help the conservative base. 

I didn’t see a need to be overly cautious with this relationship with Lynda.  She had just spent the previous decade trying to win my trust, so I figured getting a functional, conservative school board in charge of Lakota schools was worth a shot.  Even that day I met with her and several other people, it became pretty clear what she was doing; I still wanted to give the effort a chance at working.  But she was looking for compliance out of Darbi Boddy to some liberal view of authority that was shocking to many of us, especially the West Chester Tea Party.  We all found ourselves in the basement of one of the leading members, with Isaac Adi and some school board mentor of his from Monroe schools pushing a sheet of paper in front of me, asking me what I wanted out of Lakota schools, which made me angry because of the amateur effort.  It was an apparent consensus-building exercise, much like the Lakota community conversations had been trying to win over opposition to school policy for a while.  And Lynda sat across from me with a smile, thinking all this was acceptable.  She had surrounded me with people I had trusted, especially in the Tea Party, and she felt that the peer pressure might win me over and away from the continued support of Darbi Boddy.  After all the years and everything I had written over all the time we had known each other, she thought I was that stupid. 

The meeting didn’t go well.  My wife and I left that day, never to speak to any of them personally again, because, within a few months, we had all the drama over the school superintendent.  Everything got worse after much further erosion in the community led by Lynda’s tampering with everyone’s political sentiments and wanting to pull everyone to the left, and lawsuits became a significant issue.  I had to explain to the attorney for the superintendent that if he had just apologized to Darbi Boddy for his role in trying to do what Lynda wanted, which was to remove her from the school board after many of us had spent the previous year trying to get her elected, then a lot of the trouble he found himself in wouldn’t have been such an issue.  But now that people knew and learned how much Lynda knew about it all along, those were self-inflicted problems that ultimately cost a lot of money in the district.  Through it all, I hadn’t talked to any of them in that basement meeting, so when I heard that the West Chester Tea Party was thinking of endorsing Lynda, it wouldn’t have surprised me after all the other people who had fallen off the wagon over the last year.  But if there is anything good that did happen, as a result, they did let me know that they felt the same way about Lynda as I did and that they would not support her or any of the other candidates who have gone over to the dark side of politics.  That’s certainly the case with Ann Becker, who is running for another term as trustee in West Chester.  She used to be president of the Tea Party for both West Chester and Cincinnati, but she has moved well away from those good old days now, more toward the political left.  Watching that kind of thing is painful, but it always happens.  And when it does, you always must wonder what people believe.  But happily, it is good to see that the West Chester Tea Party has not waivered, as others have, and they will not be endorsing Lynda O’Conner for the Lakota School Board.  And neither will I.

Covid Part 2 is Coming: Government is desperate to protect 2030 objectives and they don’t care who gets hurt in that process

You must understand what’s at stake here to grasp why Covid is coming back, these radical communists and socialists throughout the world have set gigantic social targets for the year 2030, and the re-election of Trump in 2024 will destroy those plans.  So, they will do everything to stop him, including returning to the playbook that worked before, releasing another version of Covid from one of the many bioweapon labs around the world, as they did in 2020.  But this one will be deadlier because the criticism from the first time was that Covid wasn’t deadly enough.  So, this one will kill more people, and they will do it because they got away with it before, four years ago.  That’s right, Covid, as I have said repeatably since that time, was a manufactured crisis, which the government seems to be doing a lot these days.  It was a “plandemic” not some act of nature.  These are bioweapons by a hostile regime of global communists who will do anything to get power and stay in control.  Anything.  And they’ve thrown everything at President Trump to stop him from running for President Again, and he keeps getting more popular, and they are in a bit of a panic now.  Joe Biden is just their representative in the White House.  He will do whatever they say, but Joe Biden is not in charge.  The script has already been written and leaked from several government sources.  Covid is coming back because they have no other choice, and it’s coming in September of 2023.  And by December of 2023, ahead of the election year, just as it was done in 2020, there will be new lockdowns and isolation rules much worse than before because it’s their only chess move, and you can bet they will make it, no matter who dies in the process.  These people should have been punished after what they did in 2020, but they weren’t.  And now that they got away with it, they are coming back.

Alex Jones has a reputation as a conspiracy theorist, but he’s often very right when he says something; it comes true eventually. I explain Alex Jones and myself, for that matter, with Robert Persig’s concept of the “Metaphysics of Quality.” Some people in life, the best leaders for that part, are those making decisions in the front of the train. But most people like to make decisions in the back of the train, where it’s safe. To justify why they are too chicken to live at the front, they call those who aren’t afraid conspiracy theorists to explain their cowardness. It’s a psychological problem, not an indicator of truth. So even though people might not like the big-time wrestling type of delivery that Alex Jones does when reporting the news, that doesn’t make his content any less relevant. And he has been told by a TSA contact that he has, as well as others, that the timeline for the Covid protocols has already been floated down through the ranks as led by the Biden administration. At the same time, these reports hit the marketplace, it was reported that the Biden administration will gear up for a return to the vaccine policies in September. Consistent with the timeline released by the TSA agent. Like before, everything related to Covid, or whatever they call this one, has been preplanned and politically motivated. It has nothing to do with health or nature. It’s all about instilling global communism as it rolls out to the door of origin, the World Economic Forum. And Trump threatens their agenda, as do his supporters, who they know are a majority in America because they also know what they did to commit election fraud under the guise of Covid to steal that 2020 election. And they are willing to do it again.

For those involved with state legislatures who thought that Covid was never coming back, here it is, so they’ll have to start working to get in front of the story. Not to stop the virus. Like a nuclear bomb, it’s out once Covid is released as the bioweapon it is. People are going to be harmed, and they will die. There will be no social distancing to stop it. There will be no masking that will prevent the spread. The only thing that the masks will do is show submission to those who control the virus outbreak. And this will always be a danger until those people are punished. Until then, we’ll have to live our lives and prevent panicky governors like Mike DeWine in Ohio from trying to shut down our states again with ridiculous rules of voodoo science. The goal is to disrupt the election of 2024 just as they did in 2020 by keeping people home and using mail-in ballots because people would be unable to vote in person. These bad guys know there is no way they can keep Joe Biden in power unless they change how people vote. Too many people now understand how the election of 2020 was stolen, and that information is much talked about as more and more evidence is stacking up. Joe Biden and his family are in trouble with corruption. The economy is horrendously bad. There isn’t anything that the Biden team can claim a victory on going into a critical election year in which they have tried to stop their political rival, Trump, in every way but physical assassination by all the powers of government, and Trump is still poised to win most of the states if Democrats don’t get control of the election counting process. So, they are going all in on Covid as their 2024 strategy.

There are no plans to put Biden on the campaign trail.  He’s going to hide in his basement like they did before.  The media will do most of his heavy lifting, and they need an excuse why their old man can’t stay awake for more than a few hours a day, so Covid is their only option.  We never had free and fair elections, at least not in a modern sense, and now that people are waking up to that situation, the only way to control elections is behind a massive crisis, a manufactured bioweapon made in a lab with government money to keep the government in power.  And the World Health Organization is already printing the press releases using Covid Part 2 as that weapon.  So the most essential thing that can be done now is to take away centralized power from the health directors in the various states to keep the economy and people constitutionally free.  If there are court cases that need to happen to challenge state power, we need to be ready to launch them early instead of a year into it like last time, after so much destruction had already taken place.  The constitution is not suspended during a crisis; otherwise, the government will continue manufacturing a problem to perform illegal acts.  And going into 2024, that is the only way to approach it constitutionally.  People must be able to vote, and the vote counters must be monitored carefully.  And no amount of death and mayhem caused by these globalist powers, under World Health Organization communist crises management, can be allowed to alter that process because they fully intend to for their survival.  You have been warned, use it to your advantage.

The Tyranny of Digital Monitoring: There is no greater threat to freedom than centralized bank’s control over your digital footprint

There have been videos showing a young woman either buying goods at a market, such as a shelf check out, who has a chip in her hand, or the reader is scanning her palm print and using that to approve her transaction in her account.  And she’s smiling and is excited about it, as if it’s the next great thing for the human race.  The belief is that the technology is terrific and can be trusted. We should all put our faith in centralized bankers committed to communism, who will then gain power over us regarding whether we are allowed to have a business transaction.  I have been on the other side of the world more than once, where my account was turned off because someone at the credit card company flagged me for “unusual behavior.” After all, I didn’t notify them of my travels the way they wanted me to.  It’s a real problem putting our lives in the hands of these pinheaded bureaucrats, especially as a cash supply.  Turning off our access to the things we need and converting everything to digital is dangerous.  It might appear convenient, but the goal of the centralized financial institutions and the communist governments behind them, such as the intentions of the World Economic Forum, is to get us hooked on convenience so that they can gain power over us.  Some easy ones that come to mind are calibrations on the stupid smart meters on our homes that can be cranked up to read more usage than is happening, jacking up your price because they tag some ESG requirement onto your bill that you don’t support.  Because the reader is not mechanically driven but is digital, it can be changed at will, just like they want to do with a digital currency, where they can decrease or increase the value of it depending on who is using it. 

I recently had a significant problem with the monopoly company that supplies water to my home.  It’s so bad that I’m about to dig a well and get off the grid.  Whenever you call them, they give you nonsense and act like you are wasting their time.  There is no customer service because they don’t have to; they are a government monopoly, essentially just like Duke Energy is.  I had some $200 water bills because the meter misrepresented my usage.  Since they converted to a digital water meter, it has been a problem and a constant fight.  Technology did not improve my life; it has wasted vast amounts of time talking to stupid people who could care less and has surrendered thoughts to technology.  This is not “smart” technology; it is bringing us tyranny.  It is giving people power over us who don’t deserve it, and they want more of it.  Letting them see what we are doing all the time and trusting them to give us access to things like power, water, or currency, which they can turn off if we don’t behave the way the ruling government wants us to, is a horrendous mistake.  In all the examples I have provided, the honest answer is never to trust technology and to use a more traditional form of exchange, such as in some faraway countries where your credit cards get turned off.  Good ol’ fashion cash is still the best option and is what I used to get out of that situation until the stupid banks in New York figured out that the problem was on their end. 

I get so tired of hearing stories about “national security,” whether it’s China spying on us, Trump taking home souvenirs from his time in the White House, or some justification for giving money to Ukraine for corrupt politicians to money launder their interactions with illegal activity.  Or aliens landing on Earth and threatening to take over the world.  Nothing is more critical to national security than digital currency, smart meters, and centralized control over our digital accounts without other options to provide freedom from companies that suddenly have more power over us than they ever should.  What they did to gain that power, in using Covid as a bioweapon that killed people and harmed many others to steer society in this digital control direction, should be part of a war crimes commission, and people must be prosecuted.  These are people assaulting free people worldwide, and their dangerous partnerships with our representative governments are diabolical and highly illegal.  But most people haven’t caught on to just how bad all this is.  Forget about sending troops off to some faraway place to fight a war that governments told us was important, killing innocent people and saying they are doing it for “freedom” when they are allowing these communist corporations to have so much power over our daily lives, and letting them get away with murder.  No wonder support for military action is declining everywhere.  We can’t trust the government that starts these wars, and we certainly can’t trust them to defend our rights and freedoms from the real enemy, these terrorists in finance who control these companies who then control our digital footprint. 

I always find some alternative to these companies, even the monopolies.  The way to hurt them most is to get off their grid–financial system, power, water, and internet networks.  I can live quite happily without any of their stuff.  I remember life before the internet; the world was much better.  Convenience is not worth surrendering freedom to; that is the deal all these companies want to make with you.  That’s why they want a chip in your hand to complete every transaction, so they can track you with AI and develop an account that gives them ultimate control over you no matter where you are.  And if you don’t behave as they want, they’ll turn you off.  I am grateful that I could live just fine without their stuff.  Camping a lot has shown me that plenty of technology, such as solar-powered generators and water purifiers, can still give you the comforts of modern life without being a part of their digital controls.  I can live a great everyday life in my RV without being a part of any government-controlled grid. I recommend that everyone use that competitive option whenever possible to fight against all this tech tyranny.  The way to hurt them most is to take away their power over you.  There are plenty of options, and you should use them whenever possible.  In truth, this is one of the reasons I have traveled so much in 2023.  I have wanted to be off the internet grid, away from the water supply, and away from all the hidden ESG penalties with Duke Energy and other companies that BlackRock has hijacked to impose climate change standards.  All while a bunch of dumb politicians cheers on some war with Ukraine like some brain-dead seal clapping for a fish.  I like to get away from their grid and read many books not connected to the internet.  It is an excellent vacation to be away from incompetent people who have suddenly been given too much control over our lives with digital monitoring that will eventually be completely controlled by Artificial Intelligence programmed to do the bidding of communist governments like China.  Digital monitoring is the greatest threat to national security, and until people start dealing with it in that regard, they’ll keep getting away with it.

Of Course, There Will Be Revenge: The Government crossed the line and justice must be utilized

What did they think was going to happen? Did they feel a criminal government of thugs would take over America as communists did in Russia, China, Cuba, and many other places without a fight?  Apparently, they aren’t brilliant in government, which was evident by the actions of Jack Smith and the Biden Department of Justice hit team.  Just because Trump said in a statement that if they came after him, he would go after them.  That’s a fair statement.  They won’t be able to hold power forever, especially illegally acquired power.  People still trust elections, and if elections don’t work, they will turn to something more brutal.  But accepting the dominance of some centralized government power isn’t part of the discussion.  It’s not going to happen.  And no, to answer many people’s daily questions, “Don’t you worry about being assassinated?”  No, I don’t worry about that kind of thing.  I see those types of events as opportunities for that kind of behavior to flow the other way.  Much the way Trump views it.  And that’s fair.  Intentions don’t equal results, and these loser leftists have many ideas about how the world should work.  But they cannot perform those intentions.  Their only success has been hiding their true strategies, which more people can now see for what they always were.  I’ve warned about them for many decades, and now people realize what I have been saying is more accurate than they wanted to believe.  But that’s OK.  I’m good; however, they all want to play in the sandbox.  But accepting tyranny and communism is not one of the outcomes.  And they should have done their homework and realized that before they went down this very dark path.  If they wanted a fight, which they do, they have one now. 

Of course, there is going to be revenge.  It can come from a second Trump term where the Democrats and their minions in the FBI take their long-deserved licks, or it will come in another form.  But punishment is coming, and it must.  Otherwise, there is no country.  There is no more significant threat to national security than the Democrat Party, filled with communists who want to take over America.  There is no threat in China from any world power that is more a threat to America than these insurgents in the American government who openly support communism.  Think of all the poor young people who have fought in wars in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan.  Any of them, wars where people have died and had their arms and legs blown off for some fight for freedom only to find out that the Biden administration represents a global insurrection toward communism that was planned all along, under the disguise of fighting for freedom.  Ukraine was finally the war that revealed the plan and the international money laundering operation it is.  Meanwhile, there are members of the House and Senate who are still cheerleading more war for all the same dumb reasons when everyone knows it’s not freedom we are fighting for.  It’s tyranny.  Then we peacefully elected President Trump to fix this government disconnect and see what they are doing to him now, using court cases to keep him from being on the campaign trail during the primary season starting on January 2nd, 2024.  That is a bit too obvious, but that’s what we are dealing with.  And they think they will get away with these massive abuses of power.  No way.  They have crossed the line with some truly nasty stuff. 

Hey, conservatives didn’t start it.  For way too long, we have been playing nice, getting pushed around by these losers in the Democrat party, getting suckered by the stupid Saul Alinsky book, apply mobster tactics to politics in genuinely destructive ways.  Communists have been backdooring our American government unchecked for many decades now, really over 100 years, and now it’s time to put a stop to it.  We weren’t the ones who started any of this.  But it is our task to finish it and to send a message to future generations.  When Mitch McConnell said that he didn’t think it was good for the country to impeach Biden, where was that sentiment when Congress was impeaching Trump twice?  But when it’s his partner in the Swamp from the senate, they’ve all taken money, much of it from the enemy itself, China.  It’s a kind of Senate club, so suddenly McConnell thinks it’s terrible to impeach a president because he would be exposed as a crook.  Many of them would be.  Likely, most of the Beltway culture is all in on the bad stuff, and they all have it coming.  They must be punished for their terrible actions, and they hope desperately to kick the can down the road just a bit longer.  They forget that the government is not in charge in America.  They are representatives.  They represent us.  They don’t rule over us.  And they certainly don’t get to come to our homes and assassinate people who disagree with them or arrest them in violation of the Bill of Rights.  No, no, no, the government is not in charge, and they aren’t going to be.  They have overplayed their hand, and Trump is the result.  And that is as good as it will ever get for them.

The essence of the ridiculous case against Trump on this latest Washington D.C. indictment involving January 6th, 2021, is that President Trump and everyone else has a legal obligation to accept what the government tells us about its election results and that we had a duty to get those results without question, or we run the risk of persecution.  The Marxist prosecutors intend for a liberal D.C. court to provide a caselaw as a continuation of the Alex Jones Sandy Hook case that went against the media personality last year, a clear violation of free speech.  And if it were to go against Trump, it would indeed be overturned in the Supreme Court.  But by then, the communists of the Biden administration hope to eradicate that court in the next rigged election of Joe Biden.  So these guys are playing for keeps, but our side has not matched their aggressiveness out of kindness.  But there certainly isn’t anything wrong with what Trump said about getting revenge.  Trump is the revenge candidate, and many Americans want it.  And if they can strike back against these corrupt government officials through a peaceful election, they certainly will.  But as I did say, after January 6th, I did not see what the rest of the world did, an insurrection.  To my eyes, the government got off lucky.  People were generally well-behaved.  What did they think people would do when a corrupt government stoked the fires of injustice?  And what do they think will happen in the future with continued abuse?  People have a right to be upset, and they are.  The miscalculation that people in America will fall into a docile state is another miscalculation by some dumb people who have mistaken kindness for complicity.  Revenge is on many American minds, and they will get it, one way or another.  The government needs to come clean if they want to sit at the table in the future.  It is a privilege for the government.  Not a divine right.  And understand the game, especially regarding the special counselor assigned to Hunter Biden.  They know they went too far and are looking for a slow walk to show fairness.  But they have no intention of doing anything about it.  They only intend to hide their activism through a mask of fairness because they know how angry people are.

The Rich Hoffman Definition of Good and Evil: How to Make Heaven on Earth and Defeat the Bad Guys

It’s that time again; over the next year or so, many things will make you question life itself and whether or not all this is even worth it.  The temptations of evil are and will be overwhelming, as they always have been, and many people will fail to arrive intact to their eternal satisfactions.  I talk about good and evil a lot, which I am very interested in discussing.  And I always intend to stay true to do good in the world, no matter the temptations.  Yet to do that, you have to have a perfect definition of what evil is and what it isn’t so that the good work of good can be done.  To that point, the old movie The Never Ending Story, I have always thought, did the best job of talking about the nature of evil.  Because without good definitions for things, it is easy to become lost in chaos, and evil proliferates under those conditions.  So, what is it, and why should we not like evil and fight for good?  What’s the purpose of any of it, especially since it’s so hard.  Well, the eater of everything in the movie Never Ending Story was the “Nothing,” sort of an all-encompassing consumer of everything, like a black hole in the imagination.  Something that “doesn’t exist.”  At all.  And the Bible is nearly entirely dedicated to this examination, the fight for good against the temptations of evil.  The pantheon of gods that Yahweh is fighting and trying to save humanity from is quite a vicious struggle that often gets lost after the opening pages of Genesis.  Why was god so furious with Baal and the gang of Mesopotamian deities who inhabited the land of Canaan explicitly?  An even better question is, why should people care if a public school board turns the other way when pedophilia is on the minds of the administrators and other employees?  Or care about the massive crimes of the Biden administration?  Without a good definition of evil, evil grows and consumes everything, which of course, it wants to do.  The only thing that can stop it is righteousness rooted in a desire to do good.  And the first thing evil does to destroy good is to destroy the definitions of goodness, which is undoubtedly the problem of our modern times.  But to put it simply, evil cannot exist without good to suck off of for its own sustenance.  In the beginning, there was no evil.  Evil only arrives as a byproduct of free will and the decisions of thought to produce or destroy.  Something has to exist first to have any consideration, so evil will always be a parasite of good.  Not an entity onto itself. 

So I’m happy to provide the Rich Hoffman definitions of evil because it works and will do quite a lot to destroy evil in the world, which is a hobby of mine.  I don’t think I enjoy anything more than destroying evil.  I do sincerely love it.  I wouldn’t want to do anything else.  But that is because of my definitions of good and evil and the nature of evil.  So essentially, going back to the Book of Genesis, God said let there be light, so there was, and our story begins.  Something was created, and it was good.  Good, by definition, is a value judgment given to something that is created.  The intentions of the powers of creation in human culture could be said to be good.  Now relative to other people, they may not like the product or have different opinions on its value.  But in essence, creating something with the imagination of human intellect, we could say, is to mimic the acts of God at the beginning of creation, and the universe views the process as “good.”  Evil is committed when something attempts to undo that creation or hinder that creative process.  Evil is all about destruction; it is the anti-creative force.  Something that tries to destroy that which is created. 

The ultimate form of evil in the world is laziness.  Someone who doesn’t want to create and desires to destroy the creations of others because they don’t want to live up to a high measure set by the excellent work of others.  To me, it is evil to do bad work or not work at all because they deny the world the acts of creation from the human intellect.  Drug use is wrong because it seeks to blunt the effects of human thought.  Financial scams are bad because they seek productive enterprise rewards without the actual effort of wealth creation.  And AI is wrong because it seeks to think for people who otherwise should be performing the work of a feeling being.  When someone wants to cheat because they are too lazy to do something, under my definition, they are committing evil because they don’t want to do the work of thinking.  And at the most primal stage of existence, the review was the purpose of creating human beings in God’s image.  We were meant to do on earth what was in heaven.  We were told to make heaven in the world and expand God’s kingdom.  The fall in the Garden of Eden was a tragedy more about the nature of free will than what the temptations of a snake could provide through eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.  To do so was to be like the Gods, and that was not the point; the various forces that conspired to work against Yahweh in the Divine Council since before the beginning of time itself, which was a creation in and of itself to the excellent work of good in the universe, against the forces of nothingness too lazy to do anything else but consume the world around them for their sustenance.  Adam and Eve were supposed to know better and maintain heaven on earth to continue good.

With that definition in mind, then why am I against public schools?  Isn’t that trying to destroy something made by the government to educate children?  That is the mask of evil in how it tries to contort reality.  Public schools are designed to eliminate the mind of children and make their natural ambitions toward goodness unachievable, and, hinders their creative process making them agents of evil by the time they grow up.  Which I consider reprehensible.  And along that line of thought, why should we care about pedophilia, especially in public schools?  It is a very evil thing to do to a new and growing mind to rob it of its individual will toward goodness, to grow up to be productive and creative, and to expand the fruitful nature of the universe through heavenly output.  A ruined person in the form of an adult who has made many mistakes in their life has no right to rob a young person of their full potential.  Evil has no right to destroy the efforts of creation from the mind of the good. Suitable as a product might be relative to the beholder, but the process itself is good by the needs of an ever-expanding universe and is the point of all existence.  And the lazy way out of a troubled life is to consume from others what they couldn’t do for themselves, either by stealing virtue or innocence before a mind is fully formed and can act on its own accord.  That is why pedophilia is evil, public schools are wrong, drug dealers are horrendously bad, and a lazy employee is detrimental to all existence.  That is why we should all fight for good and destroy evil wherever it presents itself.  Then, of course, the world will be a much better place.

It’s Not About Unity in the Community or the Power of a Vocal Minority: But entirely a standard of right and wrong

This will be a nice yard sign for Trump supporters who can’t wait for next year to vote for, or against some anti-American political enemy.

Because I, like many people involved, I must at least provide fair warning. Enjoying people is one thing; agreeing with them is an entirely different matter. This was grotesquely obvious while driving by Lakota West in West Chester, Ohio, on August 8th, 2023, where the special election was a significant focus. As far as the eye could see from the road were Vote No signs, a blatant reminder that the progressive government school there is a factory of liberal politics intent to convert confiscated wealth from property owners and to turn it into Democrat activism. And many Republican-leaning people have been suckered into the game, even to support it against conservative, traditional values. Even on issues like Issue 1, which would have made it more difficult to change the Ohio Constitution, Lakota schools are aggressive in favor of change. That’s the purpose of their existence, to change our traditional American culture into some monstrosity of liberalism. And that election day was just a reminder of that sentiment and the genuine catastrophe of the upcoming fall election in November. Lynda O’Conner is up for re-election, and many people close to the matter have been hoping that she wouldn’t run because the opposition against her is on a crusade that has not been seen at Lakota in all the years of its existence. Before things get too messy here, I would call to mind a few monumental memories of the past, such as when the Tea Party had to take a stand against John Kasich after he turned into a progressive after his loss with the state labor unions. They turned him into a progressive pretzel, and many of us worked hard to destroy him because we had to. In a few short years, you don’t see him around anymore. And many of the people who are now pushing for Lynda O’Conner to be re-elected this fall, after all that’s happened, went after Speaker of the House John Boehner and essentially knocked him out of the Republican Party because he was too much of a RINO.

The plan is for these to be everywhere

It’s an old game; we all get it. Friendships are made with people who are politically dangerous so that they can be controlled and perhaps worked against their original positions. And that certainly has been the case with the Butler County Republican Party. It’s always tempting to be invited to the cool kids’ table just so they can control you, not because they really like you. I just spoke about an excellent event with Nancy Nix where some of us have had some cantankerous hostilities toward each other. But at that event, we put a lot of that aside and had a nice evening together and enjoyed the comedians who were performing. It was a nice story. But all that is about to go sideways with Lynda O’Conner, which is fine. But the belief that friendships and private meetings would turn the resistance against her into captured assets of compliance with party sentiments was ill-advised and has only stirred up the hornet’s nest. The people involved with this next generation’s fight against the progressive objectives of Lakota schools will not be enamored with the shiny keys of friendship and gaining a seat at the table with the cool kids of power. The people I know standing against Lynda O’Conner for this upcoming election have a moral problem with her. It goes far beyond even calling her a RINO. They are not interested in Unity for the Community or coming together as a Republican party; this is all about right and wrong and standing up to the intrusions of a progressive political machine that works against conservative values in every way possible. And the passion is much greater than in those days of Governor Kasich and John Boehner. Many of the people involved in those old battles are now part of the cool kid’s club, and they like it, and they are supporting Lynda for the upcoming election and have been whispering in her ear and thinking that little secret meetings and emails of consensus building might work as it had on them in the past. I heard about some of these attempts while driving by Lakota West on that August election day, and I feel compelled to warn everyone that this is different, and there will be severe brand damage in the aftermath. This is unlike anything yet experienced in politics, which says a lot. And I don’t think many people understand.

There is a really graphic version of this one that will be used later

The advice that I have been giving to people is that this is a throw-away election. If a new school board will not work with a three to two majority to eliminate excessive administrators to save runaway cost losses at the government schools, then what’s the point of any of it? Cutting 20 or 30 equity and inclusion administrative hires could save many millions of dollars, which Lakota needs to do. But there are a lot of soft-shelled tacos out there, some in the GOP who would be running as Democrats if it wasn’t Butler County who want to feel good about themselves by supporting a big government school. The trans issue has been a challenge forcing people’s real politics to emerge along those lines. I would say that because of the way everyone has treated Darbi Boddy as a school board member to let them choke on it. Let the rope go and let Lakota destroy itself; let the liberals have their way. Let them do what Biden has done to the country because then and only then will people wake up. The campaign to fight them will become more apparent when people see what they are about and can’t focus their union efforts of progressivism against someone like Darbi. And for the soft-shelled types who want to support Lakota under Lynda’s leadership, the tax levy they have in mind will change their sentiments quickly. And we’ll be back to fighting tax increases instead of legitimately trying to control the costs.

The people I have been talking to who are thinking of running and don’t think they have much of a chance, I have told them the same thing I’ve said to Lynda in the past. The union threshold is around 7000 voters. That is a baked-in number. If you want to beat them, you must get over 8000 voters, however possible. Lynda hopes to blend that a bit with GOP support, and enough RINO types are willing to cross that line because they don’t want more of a fight than what we have seen so far with Darbi on the board. Yet Lynda’s role against Darbi has woken up something new in the Lakota school district that goes far beyond typical political disagreements. Something that traditional politics has no way of dealing with. This is a battle over ethics and the essence of right and wrong, and the way Lynda handled the superintendent issue and the protection of children at Lakota is a deeply emotional issue that there is no compromise on. This isn’t like the days when the Tea Party wanted John Boehner out, and a more Tea Party type like Warren Davidson was put in, and everyone shook hands and ate a sandwich together. This is more of a civil war, casualties included. Many Lyin’ Lynda types have been waiting for this opportunity, and it’s only fair to warn everyone involved. Because I generally like everyone involved. But right and wrong are not negotiable. That’s certainly always been my position. If people wanted to be friends, okay, I’ve been willing. But I’ve never been willing to compromise right and wrong as determined by conservative, Republican politics. I’ve never been some dope-smoking libertarian. I’ve always been a traditional Republican party supporter. However, some of this new generation are perfectly willing to abandon any pretense of friendship to defend traditional, conservative values. And they are far more interested in doing what is suitable than compromising with what’s wrong to have unity in the community and an intact Republican party. And I provide that warning with sincerity for the good things in the past that have been done and the good memory of them.

These are the kind of teachers Lynda, Julie and Doug want teaching your kids at Lakota. Here is a recently hired teacher at Endeavor Elementary
