Throw the Gangs in Jail: Having the courage to prosecute criminals under 2923.42 in Ohio

It’s always good to be proactive, and I am thrilled with the police work I have seen lately in my community.  There are many reasons for it, but driving around the last couple of days, I saw many patrol cars with their lights on doing good police work.  Just this week alone, Sheriff Jones has had press conferences on some of the results of that good police work, and I am thrilled to see the nature of those contents without getting into specifics for reasons that are well justified but cryptic because the law demands such respect.  I know it’s a tough job to go out there and collect much evidence for multiple crimes that bad people are committing, only to have weak prosecutions through it all out before ever presenting it to a grand jury because socially our society has gone soft on crime as it has lost connection with a biblical context.  Fear not, for a lot of good reasons.  We don’t need to turn to vigilantes of fantasy, busting the wrong people without the support of law enforcement as rogue agents of justice, bringing chaos to the matter without the respect of an orderly society.  All we have to do is enforce the laws on the books, and if we do that, we will have a much better society.  And I say all this because one of my favorite books I carry around with me everywhere I go these days, the 2024-1 Ohio Criminal Law Handbook, has all the goodness of a prosperous society if only we had the courage to utilize it to full effect.  And to not care about the temperament of the courts who define a business day as 9 am to 3 pm, barely Monday through Friday.  Load them up.  Fill up the jails.  And keep the bad guys off the streets aggressively.  Stop being so permissive and accommodating of criminals and their dumb feelings. 

I say all that because of the proactive need to get control of the criminal elements out there ahead of the next election.  As we saw in 2020 especially, there were lots of “gangs” who harassed Trump supporters and other members of MAGA and shut down cities with communist revolts, such as we saw in Seattle and Portland, where mobs of anarchists took over actual sections of towns and started their own criminal zones.  This behavior is mainstream, as we saw with the new vice presidential pick of the communist Kamala Harris in Governor Tim Walz, who openly and gleefully let his cities burn in Minnesota over race riots provoked by criminals operating illegally in the United States under several laws.  But nobody did anything about it because they feared being accused of violating the “free speech” of the criminals, leaving our society paralyzed by indecision.  Well, we have learned many lessons since then, and knowing that Democrats are going to do anything to win this upcoming 2024 election and the globalists behind them have trillions and trillions of dollars invested in the outcome, we have to recognize that crime in our communities is not organic but provoked for a political battleground.  It’s not something that just happens; it is fueled by political behavior and investment and must be punished wherever we observe it.  To eliminate many problems before they occur, I recommend thoroughly enforcing 2923.41 (42) regarding criminal gangs in Ohio.  Most states have similar laws on the books, but they are not implemented because the scope of compliance is too broad, and socially, law enforcement fears that the public won’t support them.  And prosecutors are undoubtedly weary of such ramifications.  But we have allowed criminal gangs of thugs and misfits of all kinds to disturb our peace, and if we want to have a good society, we will dust off this revised code and put it to good use.

Ohio Law, 2923.41 defines criminal gangs as (A)(3) the persons in the organization, association, or group individually or collectively engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity.  Which essentially means conspiring to break any law in that excellent, wonderful book I mentioned.  We have a state legislature that has filled that book with all kinds of great options to maintain a civil society of individual property protection from the hands of criminal conduct, and we should use it to full effect.  Throw the violators in jail and destroy them every legal way possible, but do not put up with their horrendous behavior.  By enforcement of this one law in Ohio, people like the George Soros types could be prosecuted for their involvement in funding illegal gang behavior, which extends well beyond the typical drug dealer and peddler of smut.  Those politically active who conspire to use force to protest with hints at violence outside a judge’s home to inspire them into a particular judgment could be prosecuted as a member of a gang, which is defined further as involving three or more members intent on such criminal inspirations.  Further, in 2923.42 under “participating in criminal gang” activity, it states in (A) No person who actively participates in a criminal gang, with knowledge that the criminal gang engages in or has engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity, shall purposely promote further, or assist any criminal conduct as defined in division (C) of section 2923.41 of the Revised Code, or shall intentionally commit or engage in any act that constitutes criminal conduct, as defined in Division (C) of section 2923.41 of the Revised Code.  (B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of participating in a criminal gang, a felony of the second degree, which holds with it 2 to 8 years in prison.  Load those prisons up.

Many of the strategies that are essential parts of the Democrat playbook of harassment of civil society could be easily prosecuted under just 2023.41 (42) in Ohio.  Other states have similar definitions.  And the antagonizers who fund these gangs of all forms are betting that nobody will prosecute them, for lack of will, lack of jail space, and the lack of social support in the court system.  Many people are very wishy-washy these days regarding law and order.  But that isn’t because they are necessarily bad people. Instead, they have been inundated with so much bad social conduct that they have forgotten which way is up and down.  And even that is the result of various gang activities that have saturated society with criminal conduct so vast that people have grown numb to it.  But before we allow gangs of thugs such as Antifa to molest our streets in protest of Trump in the upcoming election to cause chaos and destruction, we should round them up and put them in jail.  And if we run out of prisons, let’s build more jails.  With the garbage we fund these days, don’t say we can’t afford more jails. Just in the amount of money lost to illegal immigration with bad Democrat policies, we could build more jails.  But first, we must be willing to fill them to the brim, and then some.  We must show a resolve to deal with criminal thugs in their gang associations at the root of their operations, which are often connected to political scandals and funded by hostile agents who must also be prosecuted at their root cause and done so ruthlessly, as is well deserved. The bad guys, criminal gangs of international communists, have taken over our system of law and order, and it’s time that we rip it away from them and bring justice to their doorsteps.  Ruthlessly!

The Naked Communists of the Harris Ticket: Out of desperation, they have had to show themselves

Now we know, it’s certainly not a surprise.  But I have been telling everyone about this globalist communist movement for a long time now.  After the last election in 2020, I even sat down and read from the book The Naked Communist by Cleon Skousen to tell everyone what was happening.  This all didn’t happen overnight.  But when people wonder what’s going on and why Kamala was put at the top of the ticket pulling away old man Biden, you can tell that this plan was not a new one, but one that had been assembled over a great deal of time and is the fulfillment of a grand communist plan that extends well beyond the borders of the United States.  The ultimate answer to the foolish pick of Tim Walz for the Vice President is that it makes no logical sense if the decision was made to win a particular state through an honest election.  No, we are dealing with an institutional system at every level that has become a captured asset of the communist movement, including how elections are conducted.  And I read to everyone after that last election precisely what the 45 goals of communism were, which the former FBI agent Cleon Skousen was warning everyone about in the 40s and 50s.  Even a few months ago, people would laugh and giggle when they were told about this massive globalist plot that was intended to embed itself into every institution that humans have created, with the strategic aim to control all of society with one world government.  It was all confirmed by the election approach of Kamala Harris, who is hardly acting alone during this wild coup in America.  Not even Joe Biden was aware of what was going on; he was being used, like communists always do, and was well spelled out in that classic book.  Now, people are beginning to realize that the claims made in that book were not conspiracy theories.  If anything, it was way too nice about what was coming, which is now abundantly clear.

There is all kinds of talk about the big Trump-like rallies that the Harris/Walz team has been giving in Wisconsin, and many have been alarmed.  They thought only Trump could get so many people excited, but you have to remember when they aren’t forced to hide it, there are a lot of open communists in our society.  I define them best as lazy people who wish to hide that trait behind massive government to avoid social shame.   But it is the system that we are teaching kids in school these days, and these people have been terrified of Trump because those communist goals were promised to be stripped away.   But that’s what we are talking about, and that’s why all the hate.  Yes, there are lots of communists in the world, and they tend to be very lazy and look to the government to do what they won’t do for themselves, specifically making a living.  But thinking of Wisconsin, which is a battleground state that, like Minnesota, was a target for communist infiltration into the core of the country, is not a hard place to find them, as they are ubiquitous in those places.  I remember a radio show I did in Milwaukee during a business trip.  After a long day and dinner, I returned to my room to do a radio broadcast with a host who wanted to talk about Cleon Skousen.  This was in 2014, and people indeed weren’t ready to hear all this talk about communists.  But from the window of my hotel room on that night, as we did a radio broadcast that ended up all over the United States to a shocked crowd, I could see the bits of communism and socialism everywhere.  Obama was president then, and the Democrats were trying to claim that he wasn’t a socialist.  That it was racist to even think of him and the Democrats as socialists.  Well, time has proved it right to call him that.  And they have been gaining power in concealment for many decades now.  But fear not; it’s all in the open now out of desperation.  Trump winning the way he has been has forced them to show all their cards, which is good.

I was tired that night and promised myself that all my work with the media, where I used to do a lot of radio and television for different topics related to Tea Party concerns, was getting too complicated and to do still all that I do professionally.  So, I put more effort into my own media to instruct those who are in the business and always looking for content.  My goal wasn’t to reach the mass audiences but spoon feed all the producers and content creators who do, which I have done since that night in that hotel room.  I needed to be a source of what thousands of others would pick up and carry to mass audiences.  Because institutionally, communism had already taken over the broadcasting industry, and I was getting tired of all the FCC emails that were threatening to shut down the places I was appearing because of what we were talking about, specifically when we did that radio show reading the 45 goals of communism to audiences all over the United States.  It was a powerful bit of radio that lasted until late at night.  And a lot of people didn’t believe it.  Some did and have been preparing themselves over a long time for the world we are seeing now.

This is why, to comfort people, I did another video cast featuring The Naked Communist right after the election of 2020 because the stolen election, the release of COVID-19, and many other things were obvious communist strategies embraced by globalism to perform a communist coup right in front of our faces.  I knew the signs because I had talked about it for so long.  I heard about this communist plot implemented not so much by one person but by those who subscribe to the sets of communist ideas that Karl Marx created in his books, The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital.  Communism is attractive to lazy, dumb people, and it seeks to use them to give centralized power and control over institutional systems.  So when the emphasis on “democracy” is applied as Democrats often do, the intent is to indicate that the people are in control through popular elections.  This is not the process of a republic that has a democratic process of electing representatives who do government work so people can do other things, like make a living.  Those who don’t want to work want to create a government that has the power to take from those who do work and give it to those who don’t.  And it is shocking to see how many people there are like that.  And we are seeing them at the Harris rallies now, and that was the plan for putting her on the Biden ticket back in 2020, then hiding her until the time was right.  And now, out of desperation, they are showing their intentions all along, all the things that haven’t been said because they feared being rejected by the American public generally.  Because outside of certain Democrat areas, their communist policies don’t go over so well.  However, because of Trump and his strength, they have had no choice but to show what they always were, out in the open.  Now we see The Naked Communist without their disguise.  And it’s not a pretty site.  Clothes often make people look better and hide how ugly most people are once they have nothing to hide behind.  And that certainly is the case here.

J.D. Vance for Vice President: They tried to kill Trump, fight, fight, fight–what the hell does anybody expect–anything less?

Obviously, this isn’t from Joe, but one of his 25 year old interns at Chipotle’s

Personally, I think Senator Lang was too nice. After all, he is a nice guy. But he’s not immune to human emotions, for sure. For some context, there was quite a lot of controversy when Senator George Lang came to the Middletown High School, where J.D. Vance was making his first solo speech in his hometown once President Trump picked him for Vice President, and George spoke about civil war.  All the big media outlets picked it up and ran with it as if George said something wrong, indicating that if Trump and Vance were not elected this November, there would be a civil war in this country.  Immediately, as George is a political representative who endeavors to represent as many constituents in his district as possible, many people are just not up to current events and thought George had said too much in the heat of the moment.  They are more worried about picking their kids up from soccer practice than their country’s fate.  But when people think there is something wrong with me because I like George Lang so much as a personal friend, well, as I say to them, I know George.  I know what’s in his heart.  He is a good politician.  I don’t think he needed to send out an apology for what he said.  We aren’t living in that woke world anymore.  The communist left doesn’t get to regulate us like cattle through violations of our free speech, where we get in trouble for saying outlandish things while they do much, much worse and get away with it. That is part of why President Trump picked J.D. Vance as his vice president. He is a young man we have all come to know well, and we were proud of him for giving his speech in Middletown.  He’s a Butler County Republican, and our emotions are encouraged by his involvement in high office.  But George is right about the civil war.  People, now that they know what the game is, are not going to sit around being dictated to by a bunch of globalists who run our media and our elections and strive to manipulate every part of our lives. 

J.D. Vance alluded to what George was talking about in a special interview with Jesse Watters, where he stated that if that assassin’s bullet had struck Trump in Pennsylvania, it would have taken our country half a century to get over.  God stepped in, and Trump is OK, but the intent cannot be ignored.  The radical communist left is lucky that we are a nation of laws and that we have hope that Trump can fix everything without violence and bloodshed.  But as I have been saying for years now, take that hope away, as the communist left has been trying to do, and bad things are going to happen.  The intentions of Democrats in political America, if that hope in Trump is removed, then we will end up with a much worse situation than anything that happened on January 6th.  Trying to shame people into some controlled speech that favors the position of domestic enemies in America is water well under the bridge.  George Lang had a right to be passionate when he spoke to the crowd to warm them up for J.D. Vance.  And he didn’t need to apologize for anything.  If anything, he was probably too accomidating. The panic from the left on comments like that is the realization that they don’t have control over the mass population the way they fantasize they do.  And if Senator Lang is talking about civil war, then what are people not so well connected thinking?  That scares them and, why they tried to make a big deal out of what George said.  I’ve known George for a few decades now, and I would call him a very good friend, along with his family.  And I know most of the people in the audience that were behind J.D. Vance that day.  I know what they are thinking, too.  And I’ll just say it: Americans expect personal freedom that a globalist insurrection has violated, and there is a thin line between outright violence and properly held elections.  People are hoping to resolve the issue through elections and without violence.  But if the elections don’t work, then it won’t be a favorable outcome for the radical, communist left who work on behalf of international globalism.  And shaming people into correct speech won’t make the sentiment go away.  Communists worldwide should be very happy that Trump is ahead in the polls and that he picked a nice young man to be his vice president, who is very level-headed and intellectual.  Most people have difficulty containing their emotions and are preparing their minds for war.  Trust me…………….

I remember when I was first talked into supporting J.D. Vance in the backyard of another friend, the very wonderful Nancy Nix.  She had been telling me about this great young kid who wrote the Hillbilly Elegy and that he was running for senate.  I wasn’t keen on him then, but she insisted I give him a chance and meet him at an event she was hosting.  So I did, and J.D. Vance impressed me as the future of the MAGA movement.  He has been a great senator, and I have met him many times since then.  And all this was talk we had in that same backyard with the same people as we were working on getting Bernie Moreno elected into the other senate seat, fresh off everyone coming back from the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin where J.D. Vance had just been named as Trump’s VP.  I told hundreds of people over the past several days that I don’t see the situation as desperate.  But everyone comes to me and asks what I think about a potential civil war, a war between the assumption of personal freedom in America as opposed to the financial monsters of international globalism.  And I say the best way to fight that battle is to put Trump in office and set up the future with someone like J.D. Vance.  When we say fight, fight, fight, we have a right because we’re not going to sit around and take the crap we have been taking from the communist left.   And it was only a week ago that radicals, from what the evidence indicates from within our own government, tried to kill President Trump.  The assassin wasn’t just some transgender kid who decided to shoot the president one day.  He missed, so let’s return to picking our kids up from soccer practice and forget about it.  No, we almost had our hopes for a peaceful resolution to this mess removed from us, and I don’t think the communist media understands that there is no negotiation on the personal freedom front.  Shaming people with January 6th, or something that Senator Lang had said, is a tactic that created this mess, and people have regrets about being too nice to our domestic enemies.  But the communist left is our enemy, and we are transparent about that now.  We are not all in this together.  We are going to Make America Great Again, and we are going to defeat globalism now that we have seen the game plan displayed to us over the last four or five years.  Surrendering our country so that we can have peace with our attackers is not on the menu.  And it’s not just George Lang feeling it.  It’s everyone.  Much, much more than anyone in the media wants to admit. 

I don’t want to get too in the weeds, but this past week, I was at court when the John Carter sentencing was happening.  I had a break from my work there and went across the street from the Hamilton courthouse to grab a Big Mac from McDonald’s.  But in so doing, I had to go through the media that was set up outside to report on the fate of the murderer who killed Katelyn Markham.  I saw many media people I have known over the years, so I know the type of people who tried to make a big deal out of George’s comments.  They are friendly people, but they are clueless about what’s going on in people’s minds.  That Carter case is old, and yet they were stuck on it as if people out there were still clinging to a sense of justice that allowed a young person like Katelyn to be murdered, then expending a decade to see that murderer get three additional years in prison on a plea deal.  Many media personalities outside the courthouse, as I was eating my Big Mac and talking to them about the case, have no idea what’s happening in the world.  The old rules of name-shaming high school politics of international communism are criteria that America is abandoning.  And everyone should be very grateful that a local guy in J.D. Vance is headed to the White House to bring a peaceful transition of power and sanity to our system of government because polite society has had enough of Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Klaus Schwab to last a lifetime.  And if votes don’t work, then fighting it is.

They have to prove they can do the job. If they can’t, they have to explain, why.

‘Not in Our Town’: Standing against evil as it intends our complete destruction

Sometimes, you run into something special, which continues to be the case with the books from Chilidog Press, following what I considered a wonderful experience with the book by Karen Holcomb on the Ruppert Murders.  That might not sound like good reading, but it was because it captured a time that now seems like a long-forgotten period, only captured by literature.  I had a chance to talk to Michael Gmoser recently, who is the prosecutor for Butler County now and worked on the case back then, which was so obvious, and I have a lot of respect for what a conservative prosecutor has to go through to get a case to court, let alone successfully prosecuted.  It’s not easy; evil has been working in the background for a long time and continues to this day, the forked tongue of many devils, and they have been attacking us over a long period at a rate that human lifetimes typically don’t measure.  Yet their impediment is no less ruthless, and prosecutors have their work cut out for them.  I liked the book on the Rupert Murders so much that I turned to another one that had long been on my list, that also turned out to be a dramatic treasure, and that is Not in Our Town: The Queen City vs. The King of Smut by Peter Bronson.  I don’t think a lot of people realize how important Cincinnati has been in fighting evil on a national stage, but this book by the former Cincinnati Enquirer reporter and editor captured it all very well, from the mob infestation that started a dark path for one of the world’s cleanest cities, to what it is today, a borderland haven of cutthroats and nefarious criminals unleashed by progressive politics for the destruction of all civilization, as presented in the efforts of modern prosecutors Joe Deters and his assistant at the time, the very excellent Juvenile Court Judge Melissa Powers.  And the superb work of another famous prosecutor and sheriff, Simon Leis. 

We’re talking about the beginning attacks from a global progressive movement that hid behind organized crime and moved through policy and our courts into polite society as a menace always lurking in the background, and the efforts of reporters, police, and prosecutors to stop it as it thrived in Newport, Kentucky and migrated over into the clean image of Cincinnati to destroy the concept of families and conservative politics essentially.  There was a lot of money to be made off evil and the destruction of good community values, so there were many groups that sprang up to take advantage of such an imposition over time, whether it be outright organized crime, or corrupt government officials organizing the killing of American presidents and destroying the lives of media figures like Charlie Keating because they were all American poster boys and had to be brought down.  Just as they tried to with the former NFL star turned sheriff, George Ratterman when they drugged him and tried to ruin his squeaky clean image by drugging him and taking pictures of him in compromising positions with a hooker.  What worked and didn’t work became a playbook of the political left over the years, and much of it happened in Cincinnati, Ohio, because that was the target of much mischief.  And behind all the efforts was a mob-placed hit man of a different killer nature, Larry Flint, who was so evil and vile that he meant to lead a personal crusade of destruction against family values as he draped himself in the First Amendment to temp us all into abandoning the Constitution, just to stop him.  He went so far as to devise plans to blow up the Supreme Court. 

But Cincinnati stopped many of these attacks, which I see as the template for what is happening nationally against the same evil.  It’s not the classic mobs that we know now from movies, but globalists who have taken over, only on a much larger scale.  I always liked Peter Bronson as a reporter, but I’ll admit that I stopped reading it after their hit piece against me in 2012, and I determined to do my reporting for people to take the place of what classic newspapers used to provide with editorials and opinion pages with letters to the editor.  But Peter’s book answered many questions for me regarding what happened to The Enquirer after it was purchased by the Gannett group and lost its local flavor.  It makes a lot more sense to me now what happened, as I had a front-row seat to all this over the last forty years.  Peter Bronson managed to capture it all in that excellent book Not In Our Town, which was quite a trip down memory lane and a perspective that defines the fights of our current age.  Evil is at work in the world in all the ways that it was in the land of Canaan under biblical consideration.  And Cincinnati was the battleground that remains a hedge against its vile menace.  Cities like San Francisco, New York, and Chicago have long fallen to progressivism.  But Cincinnati has resisted thanks to prosecutors like Simon Leis and many others and a public who saw through the smoke and kept electing those kinds of representatives to fight those fights. 

I was able to see Sheriff Jones at a recent event where Attorney General Yost was there putting together a run for the next governor of Ohio shortly after I was able to read these excellent books with regional intentions, but very much defined the fight we are fighting nationally and internationally and I was feeling very reverent.  Not just in Peter Bronson for doing what he couldn’t do at the Enquirer, and that is reporting this whole truth in this battle against Larry Flynt and the way sex and pornography are used as weapons against our Constitution to destroy American society, but in the thin line that prosecutors and sheriffs utilize to fight on behalf of those who elected them.  We might not always agree on every little thing and personal issues creep in and erode the trust it takes to fight crime and prevent an insurrection against our values by vile characters always lurking in the background.  Larry Flynt was a solitary character put in place by the mob to use sex businesses to provide cover for their many other crimes, and to use that cover to keep law enforcement busy while organized crime made a killing with the results.  It worked so well that they took the game internationally, and it’s the mess we see today.  But that doesn’t mean we have to put up with it.  We can and should fight it.  We should put our differences aside and find what does join us, and that is a fight for America to be great because the people who make it up strive to be so.  And are not lured away from the task of pornography and acceptance of crime from a lawless bunch of losers who want to corrupt the world with their evil menace.  It’s the same temptation that was captured in the Bible, to fight for God or not and yield to the forces of evil whenever they corrupt, whether it be Sodom and Gomorrah or the Land of Canaan in general.  The book Not in My Town by Peter Bronson tells the authentic story of how good people fought to keep Cincinnati clean and accessible—and stood against evil when it counted most, which is a blueprint for the world to follow.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lessons From George Lang’s Primary Win in Butler County: Political terrorism isn’t the way to win people over

It was not surprising to me that George Lang won in the primary for the 4th District Senate seat.  He was the best person for the job and is an integral part of the MAGA movement in Ohio politics.  And I like the guy quite a lot.  However, some things happened in this primary that need to be discussed, particularly concerning Candice Keller, who ran against him.  I thought it was a huge mistake when I first heard that she would.  I personally like Candice, her husband, and her supporters.  However, my relationship with George was founded on years of built-up trust, so everyone should know where my support would go.  But I did get some nasty campaign utterances against George, which I could care less about.  But I heard from people who questioned me because they wanted to say that George Lang was a RINO just because they lacked the extra gear he has in politics.  I think there are all kinds of people needed in political efforts; there are people who throw rocks.  And some people make deals, and all sorts of people in between.  Just because a politician like George has skills that other people don’t have, it doesn’t make him a RINO.  As I said on election day, George Lang never ran away from Trump, where many people in Ohio did; he even put a picture of himself next to Trump on the slate card in Butler County.  I have known George for a long time, and his support of Trump goes back as long as mine does, well before many of the modern tag-alongs saw the light.  I’ve been involved in many scenarios with George Lang where I know better than most what kind of person he is, so my endorsement of him came with that knowledge, which should have been the end of the story.

Always stand by your people, and never let the mob impact your opinions

Yet, right before the election, another friend of mine, Jennifer Gross, a representative from the 45th District, had called George to let him know that she couldn’t publicly endorse him because all the Candice Keller people were giving her a rough time.  In general, some kid running against her got ahold of the recording and published it to embarrass her.  Jennifer is of the rock thrower variety in Columbus and tends to have much of the same support as Candice Keller.  By talking in a friendly way to George and not being antagonistic toward him, she somehow betrayed Candice.  By default, if you wanted to prove you weren’t a RINO, you had to support Candice Keller.  Jennifer should have been able to help George Lang with an endorsement and to do so without fear.  But that she did fear the Candice Keller people says a lot about what’s wrong in politics.  If one politician has a better platform than another, then that is a free market appeal toward politics.  But forcing people to vote for someone else is the same kind of garbage that the radical left communists do.  That came from the Candice Keller people, mainly as it was applied to Jennifer Gross.  This is precisely why Candice Keller lost her previous seat where she was in the State House.  It takes guts to get into the arena but more skills than that to stay in it.  She got into trouble and didn’t work to build the right alliances, and she soon found herself on the out.  Which is her fault, and hers alone. 

George Lang never turned away from Trump, while many others have

I like the kind of trouble Candice Keller gets herself into as a rock thrower.  She was the one who caught Cindy Carpenter campaigning for Democrats in Middletown, so her brand of politics has its place, which keeps everyone healthy.  Regarding George Lang, she doesn’t know him like I do.  And it was her choice to run against him, and if she wanted to be in the arena of politics, there were other positions she could have picked.  Instead, she tends to want to run against George Lang and see how much power she has within the evangelical community to pull votes away from one of the top Republicans in Southern Ohio.  That’s a choice she made that isn’t rooted in good tactics.  It might be interesting.  But the effort isn’t serious beyond rock throwing, with all things considered.  If we didn’t have George Lang to pick from, I would happily vote for Candice.  But when there is a George Lang in a race, George is better in many categories and would get the vote and public support.  Jennifer Gross should have felt she could publicly support anyone without harassment.  But she was harassed, which led to that phone call to George, and was recorded by political rivals trying to make a name for themselves.  When it comes to party politics, everyone either wants to win, or they want to make noise.  In this case, support for President Trump should be the establishing criteria.  Everyone should be able to agree on that as a baseline in politics and work from there. 

Just because someone is successful or has more skills in a field than other people doesn’t mean they are wrong.  George Lang, in my experience with him, is far from a RINO.  He might be able to work with RINOs and Chamber people.  But he’s always the same guy at the end of the day, and I know his politics.  Making deals and getting along with people is only bad if you compromise who you are, and George doesn’t.  There is a lot of evil in the world, and just taking a hard line about a progressive topic such as transgenderism might make sense from a biblical perspective, but in general politics, not everyone is driven by such motivations.  And at that point, politics is not an evangelical enterprise.  If the goal is to use politics to enforce scripture, then you will lose support from the public, not gain it.  Whereas, if you are accommodating people’s viewpoints, even if they are evil, you might end up with a few more people in the pews on Sunday looking for leadership in their otherwise rudderless lives.  Trying to intimidate people into submission isn’t going to do the work for God.  God sells himself.  Doing an excellent job for people who need it, politically, is the way to go, and we should always pick the best people to perform those tasks.  And not try to intimidate people into support through fear of peer pressure.  There were a lot of primary positions that didn’t have challenges, such as Sheriff Jones’ seat, which I think he’s very vulnerable.  It was a choice to go after George Lang, so there will always be costs in the aftermath.  However, people should be able to express their opinions for or against candidates in a free market way.  Otherwise, the tactics are the same as the terrorists from the Karl Marx left.  And we should all be able to agree on how we feel about them.  Yet the harassment of Jennifer Gross shows a deeper problem that, until fixed, will continue to keep us from winning the way we need to, where the evil truly resides, in collectivism that both sides utilize to cover a lack of political skill whenever they are at wit’s end.

The Proof of 2020 Election Fraud: How will Biden explain the lack of support in 2024

I’ve heard all the excuses about election fraud in 2020 and the denial that it happened at all.  But as I have said all along, don’t sweat it, because the proof is right in front of everyone.  And the Biden administration knows they have a problem.  Because here it is, another election four years later, and it’s the same two guys.  But they won’t be able to fake it this time, and they know it because COVID-19 was their cover story for insurrection in 2020.  But they won’t have that opportunity in 2024.  They might want that opportunity, but they aren’t going to get it.  So now they have a problem which will be evident to everyone on the day after the election of 2024.  Why didn’t old man Joe Biden get 81 million votes this time?  But instead, performed only in the 60 million range?  Well, that’s because they cheated in 2020 and made up all those fake votes with dead people, illegal immigrants, counting some mail-in ballots several times, and many other scandals to get Biden up to that ridiculously high number because they knew they had to cheat under the cover of a global pandemic to suppress the Trump vote.  In 2024, they won’t be able to duplicate the results because cheating will be much more complicated.  And that will be the ultimate proof of the massive election fraud of 2020, the inability to replicate the results even as the same conditions were presented.  So when you hear stories about panic in the White House, now you have some context.  It’s not just about trying to win an election and staying in office.  But it’s about covering up one of the biggest crimes in the history of the world, the massive election fraud of 2020 that inserted Biden in office against the will of the American people. 

I told everyone after the last election, and this was before we knew all the stories about the 51 intelligence agents who lied to the American people hoping to commit election fraud, knowingly, when they associated the Biden laptop with Russia disinformation, or the outrageous discrepancies on counting mail-in ballots for days after the election until Biden had the number he needed, and election officials were not allowed to monitor the results.  There are also many problems with digital machines that had votes switched due to algorithm settings that were not even conducted in the United States.  Or that Facebook spent half a billion dollars on their own version of voter activism in favor of Joe Biden.  As I said then, and continue to say, I traveled all over the United States over those next couple of years and personally verified that there weren’t 81 million voters for Joe Biden.  They just weren’t there, and that was before he had four years of horrendous results.  The economy is horrible.  The world doesn’t respect America the way it should.  The open border policies by Biden are an obvious Cloward and Piven collapse strategy meant to overthrow our nation.  So due to being a bad president, Biden has bled away support.  He hasn’t gained them.  So their problem is, how will they show competitive results in this upcoming election, knowing all that?  The answer is, they won’t be able to.  They planned that lawfare would destroy Trump, preventing a direct matchup; that was how they planned to suppress the results this time and avoid exposure.  But since Trump is the Republican nominee, the sweetest revenge possible is now before us.  A direct head-to-head matchup to prove that the results from 2020 were always wrong, showing that a major crime had been committed and now punishment would be more than justified. 

We have hit a kind of threshold in the rhetoric, and the Democrats and other anti-American forces know they have stepped in it and are making a lot of noise to attempt to cover it up.  They have gotten away with crimes before by kicking and screaming like a bunch of babies in the past, which prevented the questions from even being asked.  But this is different.  Nobody could have survived what Trump had to return back to the exact same ballot matchup, so nobody was prepared to explain this problem on the day after the 2024 election.  If Biden had 81 million voters in 2020, then where did they all go?  By around 20 million lost voters?  Without question, the Democrats will cheat as they always cheat, and have been cheating for decades.  But those efforts only keep the races close and make it look like we are a 50/50 country, while we actually aren’t.  To win in 2020, they had to perform the task under the cover of COVID protocols and all the dumb social distancing and unconstitutional laws to allow theft to occur on a kind of one-time basis.  They never thought they’d have to face Trump again because he would be destroyed, so they went all in on the effort and thought they’d be able to legally control the results and never have to explain the discrepancy.  However, a head-to-head match-up under the same conditions will more than show that election fraud occurred in 2020 because the Democrat Party will not be able to generate that same level of support just in voting numbers.  Because they never had them to begin with.

So what happens then?  Once everyone has to admit that the only reason Joe Biden was in office over the last four years was because of election fraud.   Meaning, every bill he signed, every executive order he issued, every policy that was done, including the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal that killed innocent people, they were all the result of election fraud, an office acquired illegally under a massive criminal enterprise?  And this same criminal enterprise just used its Justice Department in an attempt to put in jail their primary political opponent.  They did put in jail members of the previous administration, such as Peter Navarro, who went to jail on the same day as the primary election in Ohio and other states in 2024.  It has all been unbelievably evil, so evil that most people haven’t believed it possible.  Yet the election results in 2024 will be all the proof needed because Biden will not get close to 81 million votes.  He’ll be lucky to get 60 million votes.  So how is anybody going to explain that?  Not only will they lose the power of the White House, but their crime will be revealed to the world.  Even the doubters will take notice.  So what will happen then?  We won’t be able to turn away and forget about it all.  We won’t be able to turn the page and wash our hands of what happened.  Many thousands of people were involved in that massive election fraud, and they all had to be punished for what they did.  Because the election results will be the proof everyone has been avoiding talking about, and once that election happens and Biden loses badly, there won’t be any way to explain the results except to admit the obvious, which will then compel us to deal with the matter the way we should have four years ago.  But we haven’t had the guts until now; irrefutable evidence is placed before us and can’t be ignored.

How Corruption Begins: When the power of government is used for personal gain

Everyone has different ideas about corruption, its appearance, how it was born, and the cost of it to civilization.  But I did get a clear view of it recently while at an event involving Don Jr. at Lori’s Roadhouse for a campaign event with Bernie Moreno, supporting him for senate.  At those kinds of positive events, there are always political people who show up, and as I arrived, I ran into Darbi Boddy, who wanted to attend and show support for the people there.  But, as this is a story that has all kinds of bad elements to it, Isaac Adi, the other school board member that I had been involved with to put conservatives on the board at Lakota schools; there has been a restraining order put in place keeping Darbi from being 500 feet from Isaac, essentially preventing her from attending school board meetings, because a bunch of political people want to get rid of Darbi off the school board and they are using Isaac to challenge her in court over a dispute the two of them have had where he claimed he was concerned for his safety.  This has resulted in Darbi losing her CCW and being unable to attend any event where Isaac was also present.  So when Isaac shows up at some political event that Darbi is at, she has to get up and leave, by the court order.  It’s an entirely ridiculous notion that a woman the size of Darbi was going to be some physical threat to Isaac Adi, who is a reasonably good-sized person, but that is what happens when your courts are corrupt and politics takes over logic.  As it stood, Darbi wanted to see Bernie Moreno, so I met her in the parking lot and scouted out the venue to make sure Isaac wasn’t there, which he wasn’t, so she entered and talked to people as she normally would.

About twenty minutes later, Isaac arrived, and as I watched him enter the building, I saw him walking in a way I had not seen before.  I’ve known him for a while and tried to help Isaac on several occasions, so I came to know him as a compassionate, nice Christian man.  This person he has become during his first two years on the school board was surprising to me.  I was most disappointed in him when he joined the labor union in laughing at my name when it was brought up in a school board meeting, as he joined the crowd in a mob-like free-for-all.  The criticism didn’t bother me; I expected that.  But that he played a part in it bothered me because I thought he was a better person than that and would not participate in those kinds of things.  But it wouldn’t be the first time someone like this let me down.  So I took note of it and moved on.  I have talked to Isaac occasionally, but I gave up on him over a year ago as he was politically useless.  It was an experiment that was tried, but when Lynda O’Connor went off-script, Isaac’s political future was tossed out the window.  So any interaction I had with him was minimal.  I had not seen enough of him to reveal the person he had become since he got caught up in this lawyer scam against Darbi, and the power of the courts had gone to his head in genuinely destructive ways.  He entered the building to sign in like Connor McGregor entering an MMA fight; he was slinging his arms out, counterbalancing his large belly in a very theatrical way, which was interesting.

Upon seeing this, I went to find Darbi to tell her that Isaac had arrived.  She immediately gathered her things to leave.  I offered to give her my hat and jacket so she could sit on the opposite side of the room, far away from Isaac, and attend the political rally anyway.  Nobody would have known the two of them were even close.  She declined the offer and said she had to honor the court order, so she left.  The whole thing was ridiculous; this court order put upon her for purely political reasons was taking away her liberty senselessly, and people weren’t doing anything about it to defend her, and all that power that Isaac suddenly had over her had gone to his head.  And he was enjoying that power way too much.  For something that was legally questionable, to begin with, it now was a power that a person like Isaac had over people in his community, a political rival, that was the most concerning.  And since I had not interacted with him much over the last few years, the corruption was evident.  What he was now was built by the corruption of politics and was a good lesson of everything that can go wrong and often does.  I knew him when the effort at elected office was full of good intentions, and he was promising.  And I can think of hundreds of people I have known, just like Isaac, who all started the same way.  But thousands of compromises later, and their shelf life near expiration, most of them fail and become corrupt to some level or another, and it was shocking to see how far Isaac had fallen in such a short time. 

When people stop doing what they know to be right or even think to be correct and serve institutional concerns, the process of corruption begins.  Then, corruption takes root when people like Isaac learn the kind of power they can have over other people given to them by the power of politics.  Soon after, they become one of the many who learn that institutional power compensates people who lack private power, so they seek the power of government to do what they lack the courage to do themselves.  And that is clearly what happened with Darbi and Isaac on the Lakota school board.  He lacked personal courage and was quickly swept away by the corrosive forces that enjoy making vast amounts of money off an institution that collects taxes from the public and distributes it for power, using children to extort the villainy.  And once he learned that he could have a lot of power from appeasing the institution over his values and peer groups, he knew what that power could give him.  In this case, he was able to meet celebrity political figures, and he could force Darbi to leave and deny her the same enjoyment through the power of the courts, which was given to him for other reasons, all corrupt in their own way.  We say corrupt because the relationship intends to abuse government power for personal gain.  Isaac might be a pawn in that game, but the seduction of the abuse of it was something he was enjoying, which encouraged more of the same behavior.  When the law is used to support personal power and punish other people who challenge that power, it is corrupt.  And when you look at the many millions of other such cases nationwide for many of the same reasons, you can see how our political landscape has become so corrupted.  The temptations to fall to corruption are too much for most people, and that is the case with the Lakota school board and the reason that Darbi Boddy had to leave that event.  Not because it was the right thing to do, but because political power had been abused to give power to private people they otherwise would have never had, if not for the power that government offers people willing to abuse it.

If you Vote for the Fairfield School Levy, You’re Stupid: What really causes communities to fail

I’ve said it for years, and it’s just as relevant today as it ever was, perhaps more so.  If you vote for a school levy, you’re stupid.  That’s what Darryl Parks and I always said on WLW radio when I was a frequent guest.  Many of our old interviews are still on my YouTube site, where we talked about why in a thousand different ways.  When he was the program director for Clear Channel Radio, we spent many hours discussing what had come true in public education today, well before anybody else realized it, and nobody can’t say that they weren’t told.  It was just an inconvenient truth that nobody wanted to admit to.  When they thought of public school, they thought about school jackets, class rings, homecoming dances, and the social aspects of being around other kids.  But public school designed by socialists, Marxists, and outright communists under John Dewey was never intended to teach anybody anything useful.  It was always about social controls that would last the duration of people’s lives with liberalized sentiment and submission to authority, which served the notion of big centralized governments.  And the entire system has collapsed on itself.  Finally, people have admitted that sending their kids to public schools was something they’d instead not do if they could get away with it. Suppose they could afford a private school or some other alternative.  And that is the state now where there are massive waiting lists for alternative schools to the government school option at the center of everyone’s community.  It’s taken many years, and COVID was the final straw, but people have finally admitted that the public school option is one they’d love to get away from for the benefit of their children.  Based on what we know now, if you are choosing to send your kid to public school, it’s more for your convenience than that you love them.  Nobody would choose to send a kid to a public school and, in the same sentence, mean it when you said to them, “I love you.”  Those things do not go together.

And so it goes; knowing all that, my wife and I were shopping at Bridgewater Falls in Fairfield, and we noticed all the yard signs advocating for a new tax levy for Fairfield Schools.  Fairfield is a school district neighboring Lakota, where I live, and they have been flirting with a new levy in Lakota for several years.  Public schools were designed to burden a community, so everyone has to go through a kind of divorce with their government schools where property values are perceived to be directly connected.  For years, it has been thought that people move into or out of a community based on the quality of the schools.  That’s what real estate people will tell you anyway, but that has, too, been a lazy way to manage school districts.  Government schools that are controlled by radical leftist teacher unions with consistently high wage rates in mind have no means to generate more money to pay their staff but ever-increasing burdens on their property taxes.  So the game continued; home values would increase, making more taxable revenue available for the government schools to confiscate.  That money is then used to program the next generation of children into the ways of Democrat politics, anti-God sentiments, transgender bathrooms, and racial politics, making for much of their youth, future Democrat voters.  Public schools are essentially teaching anti-family and a replacement of domestic concerns with obedience to centralized government. 

So the longer a community survives this process, the more burden and expensive those government schools become before there is a collapse, and the following community with the next shiny thing becomes the new destination, leaving the old community behind and used up.  That has been the story of several communities around Butler County, especially Fairfield, where I have much experience.  My wife and I were married and went to church there for many years when it was a destination community for many people all over the country.  I have watched this government school game for a long time, and behind it all is the communist intention to attack private ownership.  We are seeing this trend in Liberty Township, within the Lakota district now, where apartments and lower-cost living seek to attract lower-income people who don’t own so much private property.  It’s not a massive conspiracy; I know all the trustees involved.  They are nice enough guys.  But it’s in the handbook of community development, written by the same dumb people from the United Nations who designed these horrible public schools.  What could go wrong with a community entirely of apartments and people who vote but don’t own property?  Then, people who own property are squeezed out of their homes with high taxes, and before you know it, the tax rates are too high and unmanageable, and people move away once their children grow up and start lives of their own somewhere else.  In the background of all these apartments and condos is the hope that the children will stay in the community when they grow up if only affordable options exist.  But what you end up with is Democrat voters until they grow up and take on more responsibility by starting a family of their own.  So they vote for school levies, but their landlords end up having to pay the taxes, and the schools achieve one of Karl Marx’s goals: the destruction of all private property.  We have seen this cycle everywhere, and Fairfield has suffered from it.  Most of their best companies picked up and left because the taxes were too high, the same story that could be told in every community around Butler County, Ohio, for the last four or five decades.  The Lakota schools are watching if any of these levies pass so they can try independently for their own.  We have managed to keep the taxes low in Lakota because plenty of people have a hostile reaction to the prospect of higher property taxes.  However, the system was built to fail in every way, providing a tempting lure to busy parents, free babysitting while they work, and dual income lives to pay for all this mess. 

However, changes are coming with another Trump administration; serious reforms to public education will happen by eliminating the Department of Education, which should have occurred during the Reagan administration.  But the communists fought to prevent it with the standard fear tactics, which Reagan listened to.  And so we have had this uncompetitive socialist model ever since, and Trump is poised to change it.  And to that point, the most apparent change will be that any federal dollars will follow the child, not the zip code.  That will mean that Fairfield, Lakota, Mason, and several other government schools along the outer loop of I-275 will have to fight to have children in their schools to access the funds that come with them.  And their cost structure will be challenged severely, which would be great.  Many teachers at Lakota schools make over six figures, which is a big part of their quarter of a billion-dollar yearly budget. If you have attended a school event anywhere lately, you will see many of these teachers can afford to miss a sandwich or two.  They are not specimens of excellent health, let’s just put it nicely.  The entire system is poised to fail, whether levies are approved or not.  And knowing all that, if you vote for a school levy, as I have said for several decades, you are stupid.  It’s silly to vote for any public school for more money that they are just going to waste on radical Democrat teachers.  And until we change that, it’s stupid to give them even a penny more.
