‘Melania’: A book review, the power behind the President

I said I couldn’t wait to read Melania Trump’s new book, so when it came out during the first week of October 2024, I read it just for pleasure.  Then, I reread it a few more times for the perspective it was trying to communicate because I think of it as something quite extraordinary.  Not just because it is the hottest-selling book in the world right now but also because it was a well-placed October surprise of its own from the Trump campaign, a brilliant strategy to soften Trump’s image to women and independents.  Without question, the purpose of the book Melania was to be a campaign platform from her perspective to say to the world, “Vote for Donald Trump; if things get a little too crazy, he listens to me.  And you can trust me.”  I believe he does listen to her more than anybody has been led to believe.  I’ve had a chance to meet Melania a few times and have wondered about her marriage to President Trump.  Melania is the same age as my wife, so I understand her background.  My wife was also a model, so I knew what that work was like.  Melania took the business to a new level in high society by modeling in Paris and New York, which put her in contact with one of the world’s most successful people, Donald Trump.  But Trump was the age of my wife’s parents, so it would be weird to have the in-laws over for dinner but to have them be the same age as the husband.  So I, along with everyone else, wondered what there could be for a woman like Melania to have a husband like Trump, given the age difference.  And I’d say that this book, Melania, answered all those questions quite well.  And it said a lot more.  However, she is very optimistic about why she married President Trump when she could have had access to just about any man on earth. What attracted her to Trump is that he is one of the best examples of the power of positive thinking in the world.  And as a couple, that is what brought them together.

When he met Melania, Trump collected beautiful women like baseball cards and lived his best life as a New York high society playboy.  However, at that time, Trump was going through a maturing phase.  That playboy life is good for telling your enemies what a magnificent person you are with beautiful women on your arm to convey the sentiment, but it doesn’t make a very good life partner.  In Melania, Trump saw in her a beautiful woman who was very smart and optimistic and who he could partner with.  She made him better, which is quite evident in the book, as what Melania got out of the relationship is a path to inner peace, as she is very private.  Trump also got someone who was very positive, had never been crushed in life before, and who he could bounce off of in positive ways.  She was not a drag on his active lifestyle but enhanced it.  And that relationship carried over into the White House in very positive ways.  President Trump’s White House was very classy, and because of Melania, she maintained an administration that allowed him to be everywhere all the time and still have a White House that broadcast excellence to all who visited and certainly raised the level of expectation as to what it meant to America. 

Here’s a poll for you. They can’t keep Melania’s book in stock at Target. But they can’t give away Kamala’s or Hillary’s. I took this picture the day of this article and watched this shelf all week. Melania’s has refilled several times. None of the other books moved.

Melania is an immigrant who is very proud to become an American citizen and achieve what she has in life.  What’s unique about a couple like Trump and Melania is that older relationships usually don’t center on the value of being bedmates but on actually helping each other achieve common goals.  Marriage has been so trashed by the vile elements of our present society that very few people in the modern media can relate to what a healthy relationship even looks like.  So they assumed Melania slept her way to the top because she was beautiful.  But that was not the case.  Melania Trump is not just another pretty face.  She’s very classy, sophisticated, independent (fiercely), and she’s brilliant.  And again, knowing she’s the same age as my wife, and I see it in her eyes, Melania is still a rebel fashion model from Slovenia who has always nurtured a spark of defiance that she never put away.  She has raised her son Barron and is now an empty nester with a husband who has been harassed and nearly killed many times now. After the FBI raided her home and invaded her privacy, she decided to be more of an active part of the campaign.  And with a fashion sense for the extraordinary, she waited until now to pitch herself for the White House, to finish what she started in her own right.  The book Melania is a job application, taking readers through her many experiences and asking voters to give her a chance to do much more in a second term, which she wants to do.  Trump isn’t dragging her along.  Melania Trump likes helping people, and now, with a grown son, she is ready to be a mother to America and bring health to a country that could use pure love and care. 

This book was distinctly different as I read Melania, which is put together like many books from former first ladies I have read over the years.  Because Melania is such a unique person, it was interesting to get her report of some of the world’s most extraordinary events, especially in the final year of their first term, from the perspective of the White House, the year of Covid and election fraud where Melania showed that rebel side of herself more than a few times.  By the time you add the assassination attempts against her husband, the lawfare, the impeachments, the January 6th incident, and her first-hand report on most of the influential people around the world, you come away from this book with a real sense of something extraordinary going on in the world.  And Melania Trump, through her good looks and grace, has been able to elevate the human race in ways never before.  It all points back to the power of positive thinking, as represented by Melania Trump’s Be Best initiative.  Melania wants to help the world be better and looks forward to President Trump’s second term in the White House.  She isn’t being drugged into it, but I would say that if not for Melania, President Trump would still be Donald Trump, the entertainment mogul and splashy media personality.  He’d be successful.  But he wouldn’t have ever been president.  Nor would he be trying to do it again.  Melania Trump is the secret sauce in the background with very high standards.  She wants those high standards returned to the United States because she genuinely loves America as an immigrant.  And she wants to bring that love to many people for all the right reasons. Her book, Melania, is an extraordinary collection of thoughts and a strategic necessity for the Trump campaign in the final weeks of a long election journey.  And I can’t recommend it enough.

Kamala Harris Couldn’t Dunk if She Were Standing On A Ladder: The Week Trump Won the Election

Polling always has a lagging effect by several days once something momentous by a political candidate does something, and once the patterns are studied of the 2024 election cycle, it will be the third week of September that will be remembered as the week that President Trump sealed the deal.  Kamala Harris had been showing better in the polling.  Obviously, their strategy has been to keep her from talking so that she could adopt any MAGA position and sell peace and harmony as a party in hopes of hoodwinking enough low-information people into being suckered along to vote for her.  And the Democrats and the globalist citizen network of Marxist radicals might get away with pushing her over the top on election day.  But they seriously underestimated the intelligence of people and their desire to have a successful country. With all their efforts at manipulating to keep away from inquisitive journalists, Trump responded with a very defining week, closing the deal on what people can expect with his second term in office.  Specifically, his town hall with Sarah Huckabee Sanders in Michigan was an all-access stroke of public relations genius that few people could have pulled off.  Then, a few nights later, while Harris was trying to interview with Oprah, Trump stopped by Greg Gutfeld on Fox News, who is the hottest ticket in comedy these days and did an hour-long show-off script in what defined the 2024 election cycle.  Trump was brilliant in talking to anybody about anything and being willing to do it as much as was required, and it threw cold water on the communists behind Harris.  A media-driven strategy of propping up some loser like Kamala Harris wasn’t going to be able to compete with a guy as good as Trump with the media to beat him in public opinion.  Trump is not the same old flat Republican that Democrats have dealt with in the past, and they had no way of overtaking him.

I’ve discussed polling, how Trump typically overperforms, and why.  And with all that considered, Trump is virtually tied with Harris up to this point.  But once this third week settled in, even the polling started to pull away from Harris.  Keep in mind that the goal of most of the sources reporting polling needs the results to look close.  They are in the business of selling advertising, and if it seems hopeless for the other candidates and the down ballots, then they will lose the valuable ad buys that they count on every election cycle to generate.  I wouldn’t say that they purposely lie and mislead.  Certainly, in some cases, they do, but the technique of acquiring polling data is the problem.   To mislead, a pollster can knowingly sample several voters who are known Democrats over Republicans if they want to make the results juicier toward their favorable outcome.  But in general, the issue isn’t statistically sampling as much as engagement, which is always hard to measure in any industry.  Voter engagement is the key to this particular decade in voting, and Trump is great at inspiring people to participate in the voting process, which polling struggles to understand because they can really only call known voters.  Not voters who are voting for the first time or switching parties and voting for someone else, like many Democrats, especially teamsters, are willing to do for Trump.  So the cable news sites can try to talk up the horse race of politics so they can get ad buys, but the truth of the matter is that a more significant number of people are excited to vote for Trump than are excited to vote for Harris and she is unable to do anything about it. 

A lot has changed since 2015, when Trump started running for president, especially on late-night television. The landscape has shifted significantly, with the late-night talk show hosts who were anti-Trump losing their market share as they turned people off. This shift has led to a change in people’s entertainment options, with many switching to other options, such as Greg Gutfeld, who has filled in the void left by the other late-night talk shows.  The modern equivalents don’t have it and come across as network-driven YouTubers.  They don’t have the same power as they all once did because the market has changed beyond technological innovations and access to it.  If the old game of keep away was what worked in the past, then this new way of Trump defined the new approach; the new decentralization of communication has made all candidates more accessible.  Many more people saw Trump on a night on Gutfeld than a traditional live broadcast, and the clips played from it resonated for weeks in one-minute to two-minute soundbites that were quickly passed around social media.  The Harris campaign could not match this with a traditional keep-away game where political advisors send press releases, and the network stars would take it from there.  Their approach to the 2024 campaign shows an arrogance and lack of knowledge of the true nature of media in the modern world.

Trump, as he did for network television on The Apprentice, does understand how to use these tools to his advantage, and in the rock, paper, scissors game of modern politics, he was able to beat the keep-away game with much more social engagement and was much better at doing it than anybody else in this decade long election cycle.  If the Harris people were vast and in the business of micromanaging every aspect of her campaign, then Trump was headed in the opposite direction; he did what he wanted without a lot of campaign advisor manipulation.  He could walk into a room and just dominate it with sheer charisma and fresh ideas shooting from the hip, and he could adapt to whatever was being said at spontaneous events.  Kamala returned from her night with Oprah weaker, looking unprepared for the world even with all the cheerleading that Oprah has done for people over the years.  She couldn’t even dunk the ball standing on a ladder.  But Trump, going on Gutfeld, pulled down the whole basket with such a vicious dunk that the backboard shattered with the force of it all.  And in the days after, a clear winner emerged: Trump.  I’m sure he isn’t done; he didn’t come all this way and put forth so much effort to lose.  He was always a closer in business and is proving himself to be a closer in politics.  Ultimately, it’s up to the voters if you can have an honest election.  So, a political person can only present their case; voters will decide who they want.  But in the wake of all this, the third week of September 2024 will always be the week Trump won the election.  He closed the deal on a long journey of political theater and showed the flaws in the traditional approach that the Harris people weren’t prepared for.  And it was good to see for a change.  Trump is the first candidate to run for the White House who is a true insider and representative of the people that America produces.  And the Democrats had no answer and miscalculated horrendously, as they were always poised to do.  They did not match the trajectory of history; instead, they tried to control it much to their detriment.

Dope-smoking, slack-jawed losers are Running the McDonald’s in Hamilton, Ohio: A workforce that has never recoverd from Covid safety protocals

Another benefit from my grand jury service over the summer of 2024, which became a running joke among the other jurors, was what I did each day when we took a lunch break.  I don’t usually spend that much time in court, so my daily routine was tremendously interrupted for weeks at a time and during lunch, we seldom ever had time to eat a packed lunch, so I got into the habit of going to the McDonald’s across the street from the courthouse in downtown Hamilton to get a large Coke and a large Fry for a snack.  It was easy for me to get that kind of food and quickly take it back up to my desk to eat while we listened to testimony and examined evidence.  It’s not the most healthy thing to do in the world, but it was a way for me to bring a little fun to my life when there was so much negativity.  And the other jurors got a kick out of it, even when some of the afternoon cases were horrendous murders, and we had to look at crime photos of the carnage and hear from people in testimony who had gone through likely the worst thing in their life.  I enjoyed my French Fries and a Coke each day.  But what I didn’t enjoy was getting the food.  I picked that dietary expression because I didn’t want a complicated order that involved overeating food; I wanted it easy and convenient because sometimes we had a half hour for lunch, an hour, but sometimes it was as short as 15 minutes, it depended on whatever was going on that day.  But I didn’t want to wait long for the food, so I made it easy.  The food I got couldn’t get my fingers all messy because I often ate it while writing things down and talking to others. 

So, speed was not fully displayed at the McDonald’s in downtown Hamilton.  Out of the weeks that I was on the grand jury, I went to that particular McDonald’s well more than twenty times, and there wasn’t a single day where they were prepared for a lunch rush as the primary food option across the street from the Butler County Courthouse.  Not only are all the employees who work at the courthouse, which includes police officers and security, tempted to get lunch at McDonald’s, but so are all the residents who have to interact with the court.  So it’s a jam-packed store that sometimes has to push out a lot of food.  Now I know something about fast food restaurants; for many years, like the first two decades of my adult life, I worked full-time second jobs to make extra money my family needed.  Some jobs were at McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Frisch’s.  I know what lunch and dinner rushes look like and how they must be staffed behind the scenes, away from the customer experience.  One of my offerings at these places was that I always handled pressure well and quickly.  I was often able to control two or three-line positions all by myself, which was an incredible benefit to them, and to say the least, I learned a lot.  One of these places was Wendy’s, known as “The Beach” location; it’s now a Mexican restaurant.  It was often understaffed because of the area.  There were many places for people to work, so this restaurant location was always in competition to acquire good employees.  The critical store was at the Fields Ertle location just south along I-71, which took up most of the prime labor, leaving The Beach to be perpetually understaffed but at times, one of the busiest stores in all of Cincinnati. 

To make matters even worse during these years, I was going through horrendous personal circumstances, including individual lawsuits against me, political problems that involved my stance against drug dealers that got me into a lot of trouble in my community as we lived in Mason, and some cops were making money running cover for drug dealing and I had taken a stance against that.  And my wife and I only had one car for several years because of all these problems.  So, I rode a bicycle everywhere so my wife could have a vehicle for our kids to get back and forth to school because we wouldn’t let them ride the bus with a bunch of loser kids with severe behavioral problems.  So I don’t want to hear about anybody’s problems.  I’ve been there and managed through them just fine and experienced the worst that can come to a human being.  However, the store by The Beach Water Park, closest to Kings Island, was busy during the summer months and required fast employees.  We had many call-offs, so I would typically cover the entire food line for the dining room and the drive-thru all by myself.  Nobody was faster than me in Cincinnati.  So, with that eye, I was very critical of McDonald’s in Hamilton, Ohio, which had a staff that never seemed too inclined to make sure the customers were serviced quickly and efficiently, or at times, even at all.  They gave off a pretentious feeling that we were lucky they were at work.  And it displayed several problems that I see in other places as well.  The service world has never recovered from the dumb protocols of Covid, and three years later, a fast food store like McDonald’s still had trouble recruiting employees to staff all their needed positions, and when they were short on labor, they would close their dining room and just put their efforts onto the drive-thru.  Something that no restaurant would have dared do leading up to COVID-19.  But after, it was a common practice. 

This labor problem holds in almost every field; many employees in large companies still work from home, or so they are trying.  Very progressive companies who are controlled by Democrats at BlackRock and other financial monstrosities have greatly empowered the slack-jawed losers of the world who are lazy and unambitious and have put them in charge of labor, and the effects are horrendous.  I usually don’t interact with fast food restaurants these days, as my wife usually gets us food from those places, but I’m too busy to get it myself.  So only because I was at court all those days did I see how this particular McDonald’s operated compared to what I have experienced in the past few decades through my efforts.  They had terrible management there, and the employees had a presentation of self-importance from the staff feeling lucky to have employees.  If I were ordering anything more complicated than French Fries and a Coke, the wheels of that place would entirely fall apart.  What had changed was the fast food approach to work, not the demand, and that happened because of the introduction of poor workplace conduct with the COVID protocols.   Like most industries, the pin-headed lazy losers of the world had made inefficiency normalized through a rules-based society, and the impact was a much less “capitalist” world.  It’s precisely what is happening with Elon Musk and the FAA.  The same types of people sink production in every industry, from space flight to getting fries during grand jury testimony.  And it’s a problem that has to be fixed for good with the prosecution of those who brought us COVID-19 and told us to socially distance, wear a mask, and work from home.  Those policies intentionally destroyed our economic viability, and people still need to pay for them three years later.   Because the Hamilton McDonald’s in Butler County, Ohio, has never recovered.  And the slow food by a bunch of dope-smoking, slack-jawed losers who work there is a crime against humanity and a treasonous attack against the sovereignty of the United States.  And can’t be endured.

Government Losers are Holding Up Starship 5: The trillions and trillions of dollars of lost opportunity that the Biden administration is costing American industry

For context, Starship 5 has not launched yet. This is the mission from SpaceX that will prove the landing of the booster rocket, Super Heavy with the Chopsticks in Texas upon reentry. The FAA has stalled the application for launch due to some ridiculous concerns over the water fire suppression system impacting the environment.  This is not unique to SpaceX and likely has more to do with why Elon Musk has become in 2024 a very fervent supporter of President Trump because he knows what a bunch of nonsense all this environmental talk is.  A year ago, he was a left-of-center World Economic Forum type who was the poster boy for “saving the earth.”  But trying to perform this Starship program, to which he has dedicated his life in partnership with the government, has proven to be a ridiculous proposal.  I can say with great authority that this is not unique to SpaceX.  But because they are such a great company, and they have done such a great job of engineering, this Starship 5 launch has exposed the government radicalism in ways that even bleeding heart liberals are now questioning.  And it’s why we are on the precipice of doing something very unique: for Trump to put Elon Musk on the efficiency board to make the government work better by cutting away all that fat that is getting in the way.  Starship 5 has been ready at StarBase in Boca Chica, Texas, for over three weeks and was set to launch at the start of September 2024.  All the mechanical issues are fixed; all that everyone is waiting on are a bunch of useless government pinheads from a Biden-led government that is upset that Elon Musk no longer supports the Democrats.  So, they are delaying the application process for purely political reasons by using the government’s power to impose political compliance on people at the expense of integrity. 

Yes!

Many people in government and behind the greenie weenie movement are not participating in environmentalism from a rational, scientific perspective.  Many were running around like drug-induced losers with their clothes off, acting like rabid animals at Woodstock just a month after man landed on the moon.  These people do not want humanity to go to space or to advance beyond their control.  They want as a government bureaucrat to preserve their useless jobs with fat pensions paid for by the taxpayer and to retire at age 55 and buy a condo in Florida so they can socialize with similar losers with a latte in the morning and a stiff mixed drink in the evening talking about nothing at a bar going nowhere.  They do not want people like Elon Musk changing their lives with all this going to space stuff.  They want a lovely, comfortable death after a long retirement to satisfy their lazy souls.  Because they are so lazy and worthless, they get jobs in government so they can have power over people like Elon Musk and others trying to do big things in the world.  We saw this conflict with the Woodstock music festival and its media coverage once Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins returned from the moon’s surface.  We could look at almost every industry and show this process of eroding innovation when it is asked why Boeing is struggling with its space program, as everyone is; it’s because of this essential desire of government types to expand government into this environmental religion and impose on the world its limits that have nothing to do with science, but the preservation of laziness by the bottom dwellers of the global economy. 

Most companies in the United States have overloaded their staffing with these compliance terrorists who serve no purpose at all but to stall out economic development, and President Trump has identified that he will be targeting this very aspect during his next term.  I think it is fair to say that this scam of government costs America trillions of dollars in opportunity costs each year and is bankrupting many companies, as we speak, from dried-up revenue waiting on the approval of application processes, which is what SpaceX is currently experiencing.  For years, there was a kind of polite cooperation between these two forces: those who wanted to go into space and invent and those who wanted a government job so they could take off their clothes like a bunch of animals and wallow in the mud like a pig, like what we saw with the Woodstock festival, and thousands like it since then.  The excuse of using unscientific environmentalism as a bureaucratic stoppage of work to control the pace of that work has been purposefully crippling and is one of the greatest dangers to our modern economy.   And I think putting Elon Musk in charge of dismantling that massive government machine would be the best thing that could be done, once and for all, in American business.  The rate of invention is critical to the survivability of the human race.  But of course, there are a lot of bottom feeders in government who could care less and are digging their graves happily, day after day, toward that latte sipped in early retirement.  I think the entire federal government needs to be cut down by 80%, just as Musk did with Twitter when he turned it into X, which works much better after he took over.  And that is one of the fears with Trump returning to the White House and putting people like Musk in charge of government efficiency.  Most of them will find they are out of jobs, which is terrifying.  But it’s what we have to do.

Speaking from personal experience, getting patents from the patent office is not like it was back in Edison’s day when he was getting them approved every week for most of his life.  Most people at the patent office work banker hours and are highly inefficient throughout the day.  The process takes way too long, and it forces you to deal with losers who are terrified of the natural world and seek refuge behind a government job with all the excessive benefits.  As a company, you can hire the best people to do all the right things for new inventions, but eventually, because you have to deal with the government, you’ll have to deal with some slug along the way that is slow and cumbersome and to get through them, you’ll have to throw millions of dollars of inefficiency at them to get through their opposition to your project.  And that is essentially all SpaceX is experiencing: a complete shutdown of their Starship launch ability because of political activism and a strategy imposed on the human race that essentially goes back to the Woodstock response to the landing on the moon.  They let Elon Musk play at launching Starships into space, but after that fourth launch, SpaceX achieved most of its technical milestones, which meant that the human race was close to leaving Earth forever and colonizing the solar system.  That would put human beings out of the reach of the government, which would terrify them.  How can governments live off taxpayers if they can get into a Starship and fly off to Mars?  Who is going to fund their early retirement then?  But that’s what we are dealing with, and with the election of Trump, we can expect dramatic changes in this crazy environmental application process in many industries.  And it can’t happen fast enough at this point.  It has already cost us trillions of dollars in lost opportunity costs.  And suppose we don’t dismantle this government machine. In that case, it will bankrupt us all with trillions of dollars more shortly and keep humanity chained to a jealous Mother Earth like a bunch of slack-jawed losers, lacking enough ambition to get up out of bed in the morning and do anything bold than stuffing our faces with useless food to fuel a worthless life.

Why Thomas Hall is so Great: If only everyone was so lucky

Fight, fight, fight was the theme of the evening at the GOP tent at the VOA Country Music Festival, where several officeholders and some running for the first time gathered together ahead of the upcoming elections.  It was an excellent time to catch up with everyone. I could speak to many people in a way that I hadn’t done for a long time, which was good.  But what do we mean by fighting and winning in politics?  When I think of such a thing, I think of the young man Thomas Hall, who is the Ohio Representative in my district and is running to hold the seat he currently has.  But he wasn’t always in my district; he used to have the Middletown area, but now, in District 46, he represents Liberty Township and the surrounding areas, which I’m thrilled with.  I’ve seen Thomas Hall in the pressure cooker for a while now, and I supposed he’s not as much of a young man as when he first started in politics.  But I think a lot of him, and for good reason.  I have been meaning, and we didn’t quite get there during this event, to talk to him about his recent trip to Israel, which I am very interested in.  But behind the politics, Thomas Hall is just a good person, one of those cases where he’s better than the package you see.  He’s just a promising young man who has survived the fires of Hell and come out on top, and he looks poised to stay there.  This is a good thing for anybody he represents in the Ohio Statehouse.  He takes his job very seriously, and it shows.  I’ve seen him in Columbus work a room, and if he didn’t have a great foundation to work with, it would be easy to be swept away by lobbyists and other scandalous characters.  But with Thomas, you get the feeling with him that he’s always savvy and under control.  And that any malicious intent that comes his way can easily be handled. 

I’ve met his parents several times at some of these events, but we had more time to talk in August of 2024 than we have in the past.  In some of those previous times, things looked so dire that nobody was sure what would happen next.  Politics, as I have said, is a blood sport; things can and do get pretty wild.  Many people who came to the Country Music Festival at the VOA needed to talk to each other.  It’s been a tough four years since Trump left office, and people have lost focus in some respects.  It’s tough when you are trying to grow the tent of the party to accommodate more people, but those people don’t have the same foundations and strength; when the pressure of politics emerges and moral necessities come into play, it’s easy to drift into decay.  And as a political party, Southern Ohio Republicans needed to break some bread together.  A lot of people get into politics for different reasons, and it’s up to each person to find some reason to have common ground with others for the sake of party politics.  Authenticity can often get abused in such cases, but that was never the case with Thomas Hall, and in some of those times, I referred to his parents as good people who made a good kid.  Thomas’ dad was a former police officer, now a firefighter chief.  His mom is a wonderful enthusiast of the men in her life, her husband and son, and when I see them all together, it’s usually a big family affair.  Thomas has, of course, a love interest who I see around town a lot, and she is always supportive and doing the extra work it takes to run successful campaigns.  When you speak with them, you can tell that they all have good foundations that give them firm ground to stand on no matter what is happening in the world. 

So Thomas always tells me he’s grateful to me for getting through some of these tough times of turmoil where rough campaigns got very heated.  My help pushed him over the top and put him in office so he could do the excellent work he is doing presently and, I hope, well into the future.  And I tell him that he’s the one who did all the hard work, and indeed, there are very few people who work as hard at politics as Thomas Hall.  He gets out and knocks on doors and is very tenacious.  And I’ve seen him working directly with Governor DeWine on legislation that was difficult to make happen, so the elbow-twisting part of politics takes a hard worker, and he has deserved all the success he has had and more.  He doesn’t have to throw appreciation my way.  What I have done for him, I do for many people. He’s referring to a lot that goes on behind the scenes, but I’m happy to do it because I like seeing good people get a chance to do good things in the world.  Like a gardener who pulls up the weeds of a garden to protect the good plants, you are trying to grow while preventing the parasites from destroying everything.  I do what I do because I like seeing the good stuff grow.  And Thomas Hall has grown into a lot of good things. 

So when his parents thanked me for all I have done for their son, I had to tell them what I thought of them, which shows up in Thomas, and I think about it a lot.  They were good parents to him.  Thomas Hall has a great foundation that other people in the world don’t have because they, as parents, gave him a great place to start.  If things get too hot, at least Thomas has a nice family that cares for him.  And it shows.  So, while they intended to thank me, which they did, I would give the credit to all of them.  Thomas is a sincerely good person who is not wasting his talent.  But to his parents for raising a good kid who has grown into a good man, a lot of people would love to be so lucky.  The sense of service that Thomas has picked up from his dad is being applied to Ohio positively.  I’m happy to defend and support anybody like that, and there are others.  Perhaps not as good as Thomas, but in my experience with these kinds of things, a lot of similar personality traits emerge in these kinds of people who get involved in politics and want to represent people in government.  Not everyone has the advantage of a good family on which they can rely.  But Thomas Hall does, and as I told his parents, if anybody should be thanking anybody, the world should be thanking them for producing such a nice young and honest man in the world.  I am personally very proud of Thomas Hall.  But I’m also very proud of his parents.  I wish there were more people in the world like them.  And maybe in the future, there will be.  There is hope in the world that people will follow their example and do better for themselves and others.  Usually, when you meet people who are as well put together as Thomas Hall, good parents at the foundation make it all possible.

The Fake Kamala Harris Campaign: Getting caught using AI to look more like Trump

One thing about communist cultures, no matter where they are, is that they always must resort to copying their competition because they don’t have any fundamental ideas of their own.  That’s certainly how it is in China, and that is certainly what’s happening with the Kamala Harris campaign.  That has been the joke recently with Kamala Harris essentially trying to steal all of Trump’s political platforms to escape her dismal past, especially in regard to No Tax on Tips.  But it was pretty audacious when the Harris campaign tried to launch a few campaign events in Wisconsin, and they got caught trying to hide her actual numbers of public support.  I don’t know what they were thinking.  Did they think people wouldn’t notice in this day and age?  But they got caught using AI to try and make her crowds look bigger.  To look more like President Trump’s crowds, especially in Wisconsin and Las Vegas.  There were several methods used, but the bottom line was that to make the crowds look bigger, they used AI to fill in the vast gaps where there weren’t any people.  And especially at that airport rally in Wisconsin, there were no reflections of people in the plane’s paint, where the photo showed a sea of people for as far as the eye could see.  It looked like a Trump rally, but we were supposed to believe that it was massive support for Harris.  It looked good at first, but they got caught, and now the story of Harris is that she is a copycat with no new ideas of her own, and that’s not going to be enough to move the needle for Democrats.  And this is the best that they are going to do.  It will never get better from here.

So, in the news flash, there were thousands of people who knew those photos were fake, including the Kamala Harris campaign itself, and they put them out anyway as a fact.  Well, now you can see what they did with the election of 2020; that was fake, with fake votes closing the gap between reality and fantasy in just the same fashion.  And many of these polls that we are seeing with Harris surging out in front of Trump are just as fake and by the same type of methods.  We have a very organized effort to hide reality, to win people over because they think we are all stupid.  They know they can’t win honestly, so they aren’t even trying now.  When in doubt, they are turning to technology to push them over the top, which is what AI can do these days so easily.  But you can’t fake the real thing, where people wait for days to see a Trump rally.  Harris doesn’t have anything close to that kind of support because she and Biden were put in office by completely fake pretense.  The attempt to sell away doctored-up pictures as a reality is where it really gets embarrassing.  When people like me have been saying all that I have about how Democrats perform election fraud, and even how the liberal media conducts polling to make lipstick on a pig look appealing.  They still can’t get past their communist problem of propaganda that free people will consume on their own volition.  It is their only option, and it’s not very good.  The cracks in the walls showed when they pushed Joe Biden aside due to his age and tried to slide Kamala Harris under the door and prop her up with complete propaganda that they couldn’t sustain with reality.  And they really thought that was their best option.

You are the leader when you are copied, which Trump is the standard now in politics.  You are the one to beat.  I always tell people my story about the gunfighter at the bar with his back to the room.  That’s the same thing here; when you are Trump, you don’t look at what other people are doing.  You do your thing and let all the copycats chase after you.  Even with this copycat scandal of AI-generated images, and you can do the same with video these days, Trump did a Spaces interview on “X” with Elon Musk that went on for hours, talking about various topics.  Kamala Harris could never do that, because she doesn’t really have anything on her mind.  She’s a fake in every way that a person can be fake.  And this idea that a person lacking authenticity can project their way into high office without merit or scrutiny is a thing of the past.  It worked back when people trusted each other more.  When people were in Elks memberships or belonged to Masonic lodges as extensions of their community presence.  Or went to church on Sunday.  When there was some foundation of trust to work with, people were more vulnerable to exploitations of that trust.  But these days, with all those social elements letting us down, people spot quickly a fraud, and Harris got caught right out of the gate.  And what’s worse, that was her entire campaign strategy.  If they can’t manipulate the images, she has no chance; she can’t give speeches.  She can’t talk to reporters.  She can’t interact with anybody off-script.  The people behind Harris believe she can be completely propped up and driven into office by the choice of a mass population because they think so little of people that they don’t think authenticity is part of the process.  Obviously, it is.

Harris has such a bad past with so many radical leftist policies that she is running from all those now trying to sell essentially a Trump platform just to get elected.  She has switched her positions on economics, border security, and even regulatory policy.  She is not talking about wild lefty ideas now because they know people are supporting Trump.  So, like the AI photos of her rallies, her fake poll numbers, and the fake enthusiasm for her Democrat base, they are trying to steal Trump’s policy ideas to hide her own radical past, hoping just enough people are suckered into voting for her.  But when you look at the polling crosstabs, all Democrats have big problems.  And they won’t be able to fake their way out of it.  Like the lessons of all communist countries who have run into this same problem, there is no way for Kamala Harris to hide reality.  The arrogance of even trying is audacious enough.  It’s all they have.  And remember, we have had the last four years of a bad economy because people were suckered into believing that Biden and Harris were elected correctly.  The same effort that has been putting out these fake pictures and policy positions are the same people who told you that electronic voting machines could be trusted and mail-in ballots validated and that we could trust those counting implicitly.  Somehow, in a free culture, they thought nobody would ever find out.  Which is why the First Amendment is so important.  With people having the ability to scrutinize others, we have a communist assumption that is falling on its face, just as it has everywhere else in the world where it has been tried.  And that Democrats have tried to copy the enthusiasm for Trump in their campaigns tells you all you need to know about reality.  AI can’t change people’s minds.  It can just trick you into thinking the truth you are seeing is authentic.  And when people figure out it isn’t, the wheels come off quickly, as it is now for Harris.

The Gift of Debbie Lang: Americana to fill the hearts of free people crawling across the finish line of a tough political period

The flag at the GOP tent during the VOA Country Music Festival of 2024
Big stuff at a wonderfully patriotic night in Butler County, Ohio
This is the map of the election as it stands in August of 2024. The media wants everyone to think Harris has a better chance. She doesn’t have a path to victory.

I know there are a lot of scared people out there, and they are apprehensive about Kamala Harris and the Democrats of Doom.  And I keep telling people the truth behind the scenes so they don’t have to worry.  Yet, there is danger in that because while you’re trying to make everyone feel assured, you might take the energy out of the need we all have for them to show up and vote, to make this upcoming election too big to rig.  Most people live their lives daily and hope some decent people end up in the office to tend to their affairs.  But I am more than just a little involved in how things go on behind the scenes, and even I get a little tired of the constant pressure always to overcome some tyrant trying to take over the world, or as we have in the case of the Kamala Harris campaign, many tyrants who want communist all over the world to destroy our country and everything it stands for.  So I get a lot out of events like in West Chester, Ohio, in August of 2024 because it was undoubtedly a recharge as we head into these final days of the 2024 season.  Politics is complex, and it is a blood sport.  It’s tough to go out and raise money for all it takes to run for office and still be authentic to yourself and your promises to voters.  And it’s even more challenging when you have Central Committee appeasements to make, and you are in a primary with other Republicans running for the same office.  Things can get a little hot.  But let me just say this: it has been a challenging period from the time that Trump left the White House and the terror of a communist invasion into all our lives from the impending Biden administration, which Kamala Harris was a created sleeper cell terrorist nurtured along in that environment.  But I was very proud to see so many Butler County Republicans, several from Warren County, and many other places from all over the state, come together under a giant American flag to lead the way during the VOA Country Music Festival, where the entire weekend was packed with top musical artists putting on their best show to a massive crowd hungry for patriotism under the flag of the red, white and blue.

The front of the GOP tent for Butler County. A foundation for the entire country.

I am unusually patriotic regarding the VOA park, where the Voice of America radio towers once stood.  As a kid, I could see them from my front yard about five or six miles west, and I loved that they broadcast American ideas to the world meant to topple communism and tyranny wherever they put their initiative forth.  Still, if truth be told, I go to the VOA Park almost every day for lunch and have read countless books on its park benches.  It has been my base of operations for this blog site for many years now, including right after Trump was removed from office, and I read from the Cleon Skousen book The Naked Communist the plots of what was happening in the world from a bench there in the park.  Running this blog from the VOA Park essentially was my way of keeping the spirit of that place alive for continued vigilance.  So I did not need much convincing to be invited to attend a GOP event under a nice airconditioned tent in the VIP area of such a magnificent occurrence.  At one end of a massive concert venue was the old broadcast building, which is now a wonderful museum where people can learn all there is to know about the magnificent Voice of America.  However, at the other end, where over 20,000 people had filled the space, was a large stage for several top country music acts that turned out to be an extraordinary reverence of Americana at its absolute best.  And I had a glimpse of what Making America Great Again could look like after these last several decades of political hell. 

The GOP tent attached to VIP access to the main stage
A great way to see everything behind the scenes and good people hard at work

To get a feel for the quality of the event, I have included lots of videos and pictures for those who didn’t get that opportunity to give people an idea of just how good the Butler County Republican Party is and the people in it who make everything happen.  Any disputes that we may have had during the primary season are now behind everyone.  The GOP tent was under a giant American flag hanging high with a spotlight on it all night.  I was there well past midnight, and that flag never stopped flying, and in the end, that’s what everyone at that event, and specifically under that flag in the Butler County GOP tent, were fighting for and fighting in every way that people have fought for that flag since its creation.  And I can say to everyone who is wondering.  Are the members of the GOP as committed to the cause of preserving American freedom as the people outside that VIP area who were there to watch great country music performances under a setting sun umbrellaed by a magnificent starry sky?  The answer is yes.  I spent the entire evening talking to almost everyone, and I can report that their heart is in it to win it, and the goal of their existence is to Make America Great Again with a second Trump presidency that is right there for us to win and benefit from. 

A very large crowd under a setting sun
MAGA America is growing. These are not Kamala voters

I’m not going to lie; I certainly do love George and Debbie Lang, who were the hosts of the Butler County GOP experience at the VOA Country Music Festival.  If Debbie asked me to be a part of anything, I would do it because it’s her and I think a lot of her family.  They are just good people, and the public doesn’t get to see them the way I do.  So, the public might not understand.  Our friendship started when George was going through a phony perjury trial due to his relationship with John Boehner during his Speaker of the House period.  George was targeted as a way to get to Boehner, and I thought George was tough through the whole experience.  He stood tough when most Republicans hadn’t learned how to yet.  So, I have had a great relationship with the Langs out of that respect for many years now.  And George gave an excellent speech at the tent that I think people will benefit from and I wanted to share it.  I included many others from people many voters may not get a chance to see without the fancy politics masking who they are, as everyday people are just as concerned about tomorrow as everyone else.  George wasn’t lost on the significance of the Voice of America, and his wife Debbie understood it, too.  And they put on a fantastic event that restored the spirit of many people as they were struggling to gasp for a bit more air ahead of a finish line in Ohio that would set a course for the rest of the country in the years to come.  I took a minute in the ambitions of the evening to stand under that big flag in the comfort of the VIP area because you could get away from the crowd a bit to think, and I could see clearly what we had all been fighting for.  Sheriff Jones was there and feeling it, too, and I had a chance to catch up to him before he went onto the big stage to address the crowd with some patriotic flair that everyone was hungry for.  And I could see victory for everyone coming in a way that we could only dream of a few years ago.  Yet there it was, right in front of our face, for us to grab and take to preserve the future.  And it took a lot of vision and tenacity to capture it in a bottle for all to see, which is a unique gift that Debbie Lang has.  She has been through a lot with her husband, and that they can host such an event with all that stood in the way was truly magnificent and worth the most challenging endeavors that could only be unleashed under a free people fighting to keep that American flag held high, for all to see as it was epically at the VOA Country Music Festival in Butler County, Ohio in August of 2024—a benchmark in American history.

We went on until after midnight. Talked to a lot of good people about many positive things coming in the months to come

The Truth About Feminism: Destroying the concept of the American family through the currency of sex

At least we are getting to the truth of the matter of communism, finally, after decades of debate.  Communism was never a political ideology of fairness, but it was a military strategy by globalists who sought to weaponize disenfranchisement to topple governments into one world rule.  It has been going on all over the world for the last century in abundance, which is the theme of the new book by Jack Posobiec called Unhumans.  Of course, I recommend the book; it’s a good read and very educational.  There wasn’t much new for me because I have studied this subject extensively over the years.  But I think most people who haven’t been thinking about communism much will be shocked.  I’m the one who, early in my life, said that communists built our public education system for communism, and it has taken everyone three decades to catch up.  The fact isn’t any truer now than it has been.  All that has changed is that people are finally admitting to it.  And that is the same thing regarding feminism, all aspects of it, which I was reminded of while reading Jack’s book recently.  What communists do is they find some topic of contention, such as the right to vote or the ability to own property as the gateway to undermine it completely in social structure.   Such as, with women’s rights, the goal for communists was never to free women or enslaved people but to weaponize them in a way that topples the social structure of the nation they wished to bring down.  Communists don’t fight with troops; they fight by corrupting ideas and destroying society.  That was what they had in mind when they designed feminism.  And their target was the American family home-to-home.  Why would communists ever need a military force when they could destroy every family door to door without firing a shot?  Don’t forget, China is a communist state that is the model for all globalism.  They don’t call it out by name in America.  But that’s what we have been dealing with.

And to the point of feminism and women’s rights, we need to understand Karl Marx himself when he proposed the role of women in society, which was reflected in the free love hippie movement in America and even in every music concert we see where women show their breasts to the mass crowd in rebellion to the standard norm.  Those are communist influences that have migrated into our thought process starting in the mid-1850s.  And it was all purposeful poisoning meant to destroy our nation, our borders, and our sense of self.  So that a global, centralized government could rule us.  And back to the point of Karl Marx, who started this process by spending countless hours at the British Museum writing his books on communism, his wife and children rotted away in poverty at home.  I would know that, because I visited the spots in London where Marx did his work for my perspective on the matter, to put myself in his shoes so I could understand what he was thinking and why.  As a lazy person, Marx hated people who did work, which was much of the fuel behind his concept of abolishing private property and, therefore, the value of nations themselves.  And like every pervert male who is tired of their wife and kids, he built an ideology of justification to cheat on them with other women.  So, masking carefully his thoughts on private property was the desire to sleep with other women outside of his marriage, which was a goal of the communist movement. 

For those new to the class, communism is a term from The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and others.  As I said, China is the kind of communism that the world and financial markets have been proposing to the rest of us presently.  When discussing Marxism, we discuss various degrees of socialism and communism.  The president of Mexico is a socialist.  So is the president of Canada.  They just had elections in Venezuela, and that guy, Moduro, is a socialist.  So is the new president of Brazil.  Socialism and communism are all over Europe, most represented by the Labour Party in England.  Communism has spread all over Africa, and when you hear about anything Palestinian behind their movement, it’s all about Marxism.  So we’re not talking about speculation here; it’s a reality and poison behind our times.  In America, communism is represented by the Democrat Party.  They changed the name to avoid the historical stigma and make it so Americans won’t reject it at the door.  Feminism was proposed to erode the Christian institution of marriage.  Marx proposed a community of women who would serve male needs without any ownership of the sexual privilege of a woman to a man.  The proposal of this community of women was masked as a means to free women, but the truth was to destroy value so that a pretty woman could no longer encourage an aggressive man to achieve more in the world through sexual rights because everyone would have a right to the same sexual privileges.  You can see every day what a mess this concept has brought to our society.  But it was by design and was a military action against our nation disguised as free rights when the truth was tyranny and social collapse. 

By taking all women, pretty and not pretty, and taking away their powers of sexual currency, for instance, a beautiful woman wouldn’t be able to drive successful men to work hard and marry them over the advantages of not-so-pretty women, which would take away the incentive to be a capitalist.  In frustration, the state would gain control of production because the main motivating factors of sex would be removed from society. After all, all men, lazy and hard-working, attractive and ugly, wealthy or not, would have access to the same women as everyone else.  That was the purpose of feminism.  Not to free women, but to take away any advantages they might have had in life by marrying men who might beat other men in capital markets for the exclusivity rights to sex with a woman.  In so doing, the idea of creating a family was destroyed, allowing for complete devotion to the state, which is common worldwide, except in the United States.  So, for all those feminists out there, that is the history of your movement, and it was never about freeing people from men.  But in destroying the structure of a family to serve centralized authorities.  And for all the ugly and lazy men out there who suddenly would have easy access to sex with anybody anywhere, anytime, the motivations for success in life were taken away for communist strategies.  And it’s been going on since the late 1840s and into the 1850s, ahead of the American Civil War.  It grew as a movement after Reconstruction and the Civil War, as usually happens after most wars and the chaos that follows.  It was introduced as a forward-thinking concept, but the goal was destruction, which is what we see happening today.  If anybody needs a reminder or more facts, I suggest starting with Jack’s book, Unhumans.  It’s an excellent, well-researched book, and it’s the truth behind most of our global misery today.

What Senator Lang Means by a Modern Civil War: American isolationism is a great thing, but the thieves and looters of the world want to steal our lives

We’re not done talking about what Senator Lang said in Middletown, Ohio when he was introducing J.D. Vance to the crowd, where even the Biden White House has taken notice and tried to exploit it for their purposes.  When Lang spoke about a civil war in America, he was not talking about a race war or a war between the haves and the have-nots.  He’s talking about a war that has continuously been operating in the background of American life, as a natural production of capitalism, the desire to remain an isolationist nation or part of the collectivist world order.  And that temptation toward globalism was never more alluring than in the last 100 years when thieves from around the world looked toward the wealth of America and wanted a piece of it.  And most of the wars over that same period were to pull America into world affairs, to create a League of Nations, then a United Nations and put all of us into the global room with people we’d rather not deal with, and steal our money through our political sell-outs.  Modern civil war is essentially playing out now, and it is unclear whether America can make itself great again and tend toward its isolationist tendencies or be turned toward collectivism and be part of a global community.  Or, as Bob Iger has said, as the CEO of Disney, part of the global citizen movement.  We’re all in this together; it’s a small world.  These temptations have always been with us, and Americans, at their heart, have always been isolationists, like most people with value are.  A person with a nice, big house does not open their front door to every migrant on the street. Otherwise, something nice will stop being nice.  So our entire society is built around the premise of value and property rights and protecting those rights from the greedy hands of a desperate mob, which is precisely what the world is offering through global collectivism.  The fight is upon us now: Can we protect the value of our property rights, or should we surrender everything to the global citizen movement?

I have some perspective on this that I think about a lot as I travel around the world.  When I go to Japan, there is a hotel I stay at that caters specifically to Western tastes because Japanese culture can be a bit overwhelming, especially for extended stays.  This hotel is very American in that it has big rooms, big beds, huge bathrooms, and access to abundant Western-style food.  It has comforted me to write, read, and think about the differences between the Western world and the vast perspectives of Asia and East Asia, along with Africa and Central and South America, which are overwhelmingly collectivist, when I stay there.  If you walk into a movie theater in America, people will sit as far from others as possible.  However, in other countries, people do not have the same expectations of personal space and possession of individual integrity.  A crowded bus is typical in Asian countries; they do not have precise expectations for personal enjoyment.  And that is what globalism has always been offering, to convert the American range dweller who fled Europe for independence in distant lands, at significant cost to themselves in the process, and to once and for all wrap them up into the parental blanket of global government, removing from those people any sense of isolationism.  It has, after all, been since the war with Mexico with President Polk pushing for ever more expanding US borders southward that this crisis hit a melting point.  America was best when it moved its borders against global collectivism and preserved individual integrity over the village life of shared resources of communist thought.  After the Mexican War for establishing a southern border to the Rio Grande, Marxist ideas began to infect the world with ideas of abolishing private property that could reach all ears in every region of the world.  And they were always eyeing America as a prosperous nation to steal from and rot from the inside out as they have in all their countries of origin.

This is important to know because just as was the case during both World Wars, American presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt did just as Polk had done with Mexico, and that was to push the buttons of other nations, provoking them to attack America, which would make Americans angry, and drag them into the global war effort through a sense of patriotism, to overcome their natural trend toward isolationism.  We have seen this strategy most recently between Ukraine and Russia for much the same purposes.  Then, in the wake, we would all be thrown together with Americans carrying the bills for building the political platform of globalism.  Americans never wanted it, but European-loving politicians who saw no problem with selling out America toward globalism put us in debt to international banking and Marxist interests of all kinds recklessly, leaving us over time in the condition we are in now, with a world telling us we can’t have property rights or a sense of self.  And that we must adopt a more globalist view.  I often think of this with the obvious example of IKEA, where I often meet my family for a meatball lunch.  The products they sell at IKEA can be excellent for an apartment or flat in a busy city with limited space and very constrained incomes.  IKEA is what globalism offers the world: a lack of space, cheap furniture, and a severe loss of personal freedom.  I have always liked the taste of the food at IKEA.  But I am always weary of the cafeteria dining accommodations.  I’d rather have a private room at Jags myself. 

And that’s the Civil War that Senator Lang is talking about; it’s always been in the background of American life, and we have fought every war since the Civil War.  People think that the Civil War was about slavery, and on one level, it was.  But under the economy of it was the European economy that had its hooks in southern cotton and a North that had its industry that was divorcing itself from European aristocracy.  European practices had inherited slavery, and the abolitionists in America from the north were seeking to put an end to all forms of enslavement to individual lives, no matter what color they were.  So, our Civil War in history, just a few years after the war with Mexico, was about establishing American borders, preserving individual rights, and removing foreign fingers from tampering with our daily expectations.  And that is the war we are in now, preserving American isolationism from the plundering of a desperate, hungry world jealous of America’s space and expectations.  Even people with low incomes in America have a much higher standard of living than most of the world.  There will never be enough resources to make everyone in the world happy, so American isolationism is critical to advancing any human culture because wealth, space, and comfort are necessary for productive thought and an independent perspective from the chaos of globalism.  And the world right now expects to have relief by globalism, to take our wealth and plunder it among their needs.  And we are tired of having our country stripped away from us for the efforts of globalism that have long resided in the background of our lives.  And we want to stop it, once and for all.  We are talking about this when we say we are on the brink of another Civil War.  That war is being fought by those who support individual American rights against those who want to steal those rights for collective Marxism and the lack of privacy that comes with being a global citizen infected with plots of doom for the good of nobody.  And that sets the stage for why there must be a Make America Great Again movement, and who is standing in the way, and why.

They Tried to Kill Trump: Wearing the Armor of God for the fight of our times

I was watching the assassination attempt of President Trump live, and when I saw him go down to the floor as the Secret Service piled around him after he grabbed the side of his head, I thought that was it.  I admired Trump a lot as he got to his feet with bodies and hands trying to cover him from more gunfire that was coming from a nearby roof, where a young kid let off eight rounds toward Trump and the crowd at a Pennsylvania rally, killing innocent people while also striking Trump.  When Trump stood up with blood running down the side of his head and pumped his fist to the crowd, yelling, “Fight,” I thought he had about 15 seconds to live.  Because a bullet had hit him, and it wouldn’t take but a few seconds for him to bleed out.  At that moment, he knew he had been shot, and if it was the last thing on earth that he could do, he was telling the crowd to “Fight.”  I was very proud of Trump.  He didn’t have to be doing any of this.  He didn’t need all this trouble.  He’s one of the wealthiest people in the world; he didn’t need to be at that rally on a nice July day running for President.  But there he was, shot by some kid named Thomas Matthew Crooks just moments away from possibly his lights going out forever, and he was back on his feet telling the crowd to fight.  And my first thought was, “That is a man.  That’s what presidents should all look like.  And he has been great for America.”  As sad as that event was, because there were real casualties from the gunfire that hit innocent people behind Trump, I was thrilled to see that the bullet had just grazed Trump in the ear, about as close as possible without being lethal, and that Trump was going to live to fight another day. 

When she heard the news live, my wife was out getting gas and snacks at Kroger with my grandchildren.  The cashier and a customer discussed it as she stepped up to pay.  My wife lost it when she heard that Trump had been shot, and she essentially went into a conscious coma.  Crying because she had met Trump and dearly loves Trump, she came home to see if I knew what was happening and wanted me to do something about it.  Then my wife realized that she paid for the gas but never got it; she left again to go and get it, as she was still upset and staggering, looking for answers.  By the time she went back to get the gas, we knew then that the bullet didn’t kill Trump and that he was just grazed.  And he would live to fight on.  But it certainly provided context to the world we are living in, which is at war.  I’m honestly surprised that there haven’t been more assassination attempts against Trump, but this was a desperate attempt by a failing left political party.  The big question was how alone this kid was, and how much did a more significant plot play in the background to provoke such a person into action to go to that rally with an AR-15, climb onto the roof of a building outside the security parameter, and shoot at people knowing the ramifications for doing so would end his life, one way or the other.  The next thought I had was that the CIA was involved as tools of the deep state, just as they did with JFK, and that they had found a way to push this kid through psychological manipulation into taking a step they desired but couldn’t afford to do themselves.  The kid was killed, so we likely will never know, and there are a lot of creepy circumstances pointing to that thought process in the aftermath.  But for the moment, all that mattered was learning that Trump would live and be fine. 

After all they have thrown at Trump, and even the other day Biden made references to targeting Trump further as the election drew nearer, the ominous reality of just how bad things are came into sharp focus for many people.  As the events unfolded, Steve Bannon emailed from jail, where he and Peter Navarro were serving time by the crooked January 6th Commission who did not honor their Executive Immunity as White House staff.  Steve Bannon, before he had to report to jail on July 1st, predicted there would be assassination attempts against Trump, and he was right.  It’s been a while since people have seen one, but just remember it was recently that the Prime Minister of Japan was shot to death in a very similar way.  And Bolsonaro in Brazil was stabbed in public, obviously intending to kill him with assassination.  Around the world, where the communist infusion of global politics has gone hard at work to develop radical young kids like this Trump shooter to do their dirty work, this is a widespread problem.  It is much more common than people have been willing to admit to.  And now a purposeful attempt against Trump’s life had been discharged, and it terrified people to just how bad the situation is and has been.  They, being the organization of the Administrative State, have literally thrown everything they have at Trump and his immediate supporters like Bannon, jailing them, bankrupting them, prosecuting them in every way possible, and, of course, literally trying to kill them.  That kid in Pennsylvania killed people, and when he pulled the trigger to that rifle while lying on the roof, he meant to kill the President.  Why would a 20-year-old kid ever want to do such a thing? 

There is a lot to learn from all this, but the main thing is to admire Trump for the courage he showed while under fire.  And for the cool state of mind, he maintained while literal death was at his doorstep.  I am very proud that Trump is running for president.  That is the kind of attitude I expect from people in general, but especially from someone who wants to lead America.  As reports came from Trump himself on Truth Social minutes after this assassination attempt that he was going to be okay, and he acknowledged the members of the family of the Trump supporter who had been killed, I thought of the assassination of President Lincoln.  It’s always Democrats who are trying to kill Republicans.  When Democrats don’t get their way, they always seem to turn to violence.  And that was the case with this Trump assassination attempt, the ultimate form of election fraud.  The hate is very real, and our public schools breed this mentality of hate into our youth. we saw an example of their activity in the deadliest way that it can be presented.  And it showed in the aftermath an absolute evil working in the background.  I found it ironic that people quickly were turning to the Bible to explain what they were feeling, and they saw as a point of comfort the Ephesians quote from chapter 6 that I like so much on the Armour of God.  Yes, what happened to Trump is consistent with that Bible verse.  God does tend to protect those who are doing his work.   And Trump is, and he does enjoy a level of protection, and the hand of God was evident on this otherwise horrendous day, protected.  God saved Trump, and Trump dared to continue to fight for what was right with that armor of God.  And people had a wake-up call that was probably necessary, and very much needed.  God does work in mysterious ways to our eyes.  But on the big picture, everything is moving along as required.  And fighting for that future is very much our present concern regardless of the risks or consequences.

This is the 2024 election in a photo! What a cool dude!
