Controlling Demons to Try to Destroy the Trump Administration: The Lesser Key of Solomon

Among many things, I am an expert on the occult, not a practitioner.  Long before the established religions we have today, there was a cult of planet worshippers who sought the help of supernatural aid frequently, and they had sacrificial cultures designed to appease them.  I don’t even pray to God for myself, let alone conduct magic ceremonies.  I see those types of people as weak and diabolical.  I have written a lot about the evil of Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons, one of the founders of NASA, and they believed in the help of supernatural aid to help them accomplish their desired tasks, and they were often successful.  When you study the Bible, there is a lot of communication with spirits, angels, and demons to help with earthly desires, so we should not assume that all that desire went away. Instead, I would say that the desire to have relationships with entities outside our terrestrial boundaries is as intense as ever.  If you’ve ever been to the Denver International Airport, you will start to get a good sense of it, and as is predictable, Democrat politics has festered into that specific area purposefully.  Like with Aleister Crowley and the Denver Airport, Masonic lodges are part of the story, and of course, with them, we are talking about their reverence for the ancient builders of King Solomon’s Temple, and specifically Hiram Aboff, of Tyre, who was said to be the architect of the famous temple.  And this is where I think we have to think about these supernatural entities when we ask the question about why so many evil things are happening now against the Trump administration, such as terrorist attacks, airplane accidents, and political upheaval.  To understand all those motivations, I think you can look to a simple book such as The Lesser Key of Solomon and remind yourself that many thousands of people turn to books like that in an attempt to conduct the armies of darkness against the forces of good and that many are putting curses on the Trump administration as we speak, to stop him.

This is a very ancient practice passed down over a very long period of time

Speaking of curses, just because someone intends harm on you, even from the spirit world, doesn’t mean they will succeed.  Take me, for example. I am speaking to you after four decades of ill intentions cast upon me by almost every malicious character you can imagine.  So, there are always countermeasures.  And I have studied the world’s occult practices to understand the enemy’s weapons.  But I would never use them myself.  To me, asking for help from anybody or anything is weak.  I don’t even ask for directions to a gas station from GPS.  So witchcraft or practicing magic is off the table.  I see them as just as foolish as ancient practices of demonic appeasement with human sacrifice.  But with all that said, my daughters were traveling recently and found themselves in Salem, Massachusetts, which is covered with reverence for witches and all those who think Harry Potter sorcery are a good idea.  They were in an excellent bookstore filled with books on the occult, so they took a picture and sent me an extensive sampling, asking if I wanted any of them while they were there.  I spotted one that I have had my eye on for a long time: The Lesser Key of Solomon, edited by Joseph H. Peterson.  I have read different versions of that book, allegedly written by King Solomon himself and transferred through time to the present through oral traditions and esoteric references.  So they picked it up for me, and it is quite an interesting book, to say the least.

I am working on a line of thought that I have on the Kofun tombs of Japan and how they connect to the empire of King Solomon.  These tombs are all over Osaka. I have seen them by the hundreds, and I think Solomon’s influence ended there at the Pacific Ocean along the Silk Road in ways that nobody has adequately studied or understood.  In Japan, they communicate with good and evil spirits all the time, on just about every street corner, and they call these spirits kami.  In Islam, they call them jinn.  In Western cultures, we call them angels and demons.  In Japan, it always amazes me how people openly seek to appease these spirits and help them in some way or another with incense and prayer.  So I think The Lesser Key of Solomon is one of the reasons that they built all those kofun tombs in the shape of a keyhole, as a way to lock away the people buried there from the evil menace of a hostile spirit world that might harass them in death.  You might recall, dear reader, that the story goes from the Apocrypha text removed from the Bible called The Testament of Solomon, for which The Lesser Key is an extension, that King Solomon was given by God a ring that could seal away demons and actually employed them to his wishes.  It’s an old take on the Arabian Nights stories of the Genie.  The story goes that Solomon captured all these demons to help him build King Solomon’s temple which is why Master Masons and people were so inclined to seek The Lesser Key of Solomon so that they could also command spirits like King Solomon did to build the temple and conduct his business of an empire that extended far away from ancient Israel.  That’s how Aleister Crowley and many like him from the occult practitioner sciences that predate the Hebrew people by many thousands of years get involved in all this demon worship by trying to command spirits as Solomon did for the perpetuation of some terrestrial cause. 

The critical point to remember here is not the conduct of morality attached to discussions like this but understanding the intent.  There are many people in the world, especially practicing Democrats, who seek supernatural aid to help them achieve some political cause.  And the demon world is hectic trying to grant their requests.  And I can assure everyone that all over Washington D.C., wannabe witches, and occult practitioners are trying to put a curse on everything that the Trump administration tries to touch.  So when we see all the crazy stuff in the news and wonder why so many people are doing so many bad things, it’s not always the CIA conducting some coup attempt or the FBI trying to do the same to keep Kash Patel from becoming their boss.  It goes even deeper than that to why people think what they do and how those thoughts pop into their minds.  To deal with this occult menace, we have to admit that it exists in the first place, which many are reluctant to do.  But when I see the kind of news stories that have been common since Trump was elected, I see occult attempts to stop the political tide that so many desire.  But many scandalous characters are seeking the aid of the spirit world to overthrow our political order with a lot of personal investment.  And I think it will get much worse. Yet that doesn’t mean that all these evil intentions will be successful.  All it does mean is that we must look at where the problems are and see the threats for what they truly are.  And not illusively of their origins.  And fight those fights at the doorstep of the enemy. 

What amazes me about all these images is that they look so much like Indian art, crop circles, and ancient mound construction

‘Conception Begins at Erection’: The rediculous communism of people like Represenative Anita Somani

To understand why the Ohio bill by Anita Somani is so stupid, “Conception Begins at Erection,” you have to understand that flower child Democrats who want the communist world of John Lennon’s “Imagine” are anti-family and have been working to dismantle it as the focus of their political platform from the beginning.  Their basic premise is that sex is their seductive tool to dismantle society and prevent good families from being created at any level.  So they need open, loose sex to perpetuate their intentions of social destruction, which is why they love abortion so much.  For a woman to be equal to a man and to have consequence-free sex, she must have access to abortions.  Nowhere in the Democrat platform does it question whether sex should be practiced at all without the institution of marriage being applied because sex itself is used as a tool of destruction, as introduced by the communists of Europe who migrated to America to bring down their rival generation by generation.  The communists of the hippie movement needed free love, free sex, and a lack of possession of a single-sex partner to usher in their concept of a no-possession world where nobody owned anything, especially each other.  And sex was their tool, a temptation that most human beings care a lot about and feel some urge to practice.  To achieve this hostile act, women needed to have the means to destroy the ramifications of a bad decision, whereas, in a healthy society, they would be gatekeepers of value.  If they didn’t want some scum bag, smelly dude crawling all over them jobless and with no future prospects, who was to judge.  Maybe he had tattoos, and some body piercings, and her dad wouldn’t like him, so in a flight of fancy, the young girl sleeps with the reckless despot.  Only to get pregnant and tied for the rest of her life to the mistake of a bad decision through pregnancy.  To promote further destructive social behavior, the communist left known as the Democrat Party in America needed abortion to implement their means of family destruction.

Anita Somani is one of those radical medical professionals along the lines of people like Ohio’s Amy Acton, the lunatic who shut down the State during Covid, and Dr. Fauci, who is so well known for his disastrous social policies that harmed and killed many millions of people through horrendous healthcare advice.  Too many of these healthcare professionals who have radical communist ideas have shown themselves to be destructive, and that is certainly the case for Representative Anita Somani.  She is an old hippie chick who calls female rights the right to use sex as a torpedo for bad behavior and to destroy family creation through the temptations of loose sexual practice.  Traditionally, a woman might turn away a man who didn’t have their act together for sexual interaction, and she might get pregnant as a result, a mistake that would last the rest of her life; with abortion, those mistakes were promoted.  A woman could set the reset button and try to forget that the error ever happened.  She just might be tempted to make more mistakes, which would further erode the desire to start a family, and instead would enter the workforce and compete with men for jobs and head of household status socially.  Always in the back of their plans, and in the focus of people like the Ohio Democrat Anita Somani, is the notion that all people belong to each other, that children, if produced, belong to the Democrat-controlled state, and that families should be destroyed in favor of a communist commune of social, pot smoking, despots. 

We’re now at a point where this merging of social roles has been vastly accepted, so most people think such talk sounds almost Amish in tradition.  Equality was the priority, and to make women equal to men, they had to be slugs and even reckless.  How else would women be used to be instruments of destruction when traditionally, a man would have to work hard to win the affection of a woman, especially a pretty one?  There is another problem that arises: in such a merit-based system, pretty women have an advantage over those not so attractive, and Democrats couldn’t have that.  That would mean attractive people would merge to have beautiful babies, further causing the problems of equality that Democrats were so obsessed with, making equality impossible until everyone was equally ugly.  So, to further drive home the point of irresponsible behavior, the man-hating culture of Democrats like Anita Somani wants to punish men for bad sexual decisions just because they engage in activity that results in discharging semen without the intent to produce a baby with it.  Ohio isn’t the only place where these kinds of satirical legislative proposals are being introduced.  This is a pro-abortion movement that Democrats think is cute as Trump and Republicans settle in to dismantle everything that progressives have built over the last century.  And Democrats believe this is the way they are going to win people back to their party instead of watching them bleed away and become Republicans.  Anita Somani is so tone-deaf from communist propaganda over the years, the hippie vantage point of sexual utilization to form a borderless world where nobody owns any private property, that she can’t see how dumb this proposal is under any consideration.  People are turning away from this kind of thinking and are very open to more traditional views on sexual relationships because what we have been doing has left a lot of people miserable and unfulfilled.   Several generations of this destructive behavior have alarmed society to the point where they want to make some changes.  They are moving away from people like Anita Somani, not toward them, as might have been the case during the 1970s to 2000s. 

I’ve bumped into Representatives like Anita Somani in Columbus more than I’d like to.  They are all over the place, and when you talk to them, they are as stupid as you’d think.  They have those empty eyes of social propaganda that look at you with a kind of blank stare because they only have one gear of thinking: social destruction disguised as rights and equality.  And they just can’t be reasoned with.  They are so out of touch with people that they think political stunts like this ridiculous bill will rally people to their cause of more man-hating family destruction to perpetuate their communist political platforms.  They don’t understand that the world has been turning away from them for a long time, especially now that Trump is back in office.  People want standards.  There is no higher form of government than the management of individual families.  First comes a family, then comes your community, then your state, then your country.  Only after all other things are taken care of can we worry about the world.  Not the other way around.  When you dig into the lives of people like Anita Somani, you find miserable people with lots of unhappy spouses and kids because they put their efforts into everything but their families and it shows in their homes and careers.  To cover those mistakes, they dig even deeper into communism to disguise their mistakes with social restructuring because if the rules of good conduct are changed, nobody will judge them as losers.  Which, of course, they are, and that is why their political movement is falling apart as it was always destined to do.

The Healthcare Policy of Jesus Christ: Yes, you can reverse Type 2 Diabetes

It was another one of those very interesting meetings that I was in that is worth sharing.  I was talking to a group of really smart people who were trying to figure out healthcare policy in Ohio under the Trump administration and what it should be like under a much more free-market approach.  Now, these were people who make a living in that industry, and they wanted to improve healthcare the way it is traditionally defined, which I thought was ridiculously stupid, especially what we know today about the trajectory of the human race and what it will look like after the next four years of Trump.  That led them to ask me what I thought it should look like or would rather be.  I told them we should be talking about Jesus Christ, the best healthcare practitioner on earth at any point in history.  That left some people scratching their heads; they weren’t making the connection.  So, I elaborated.  I told them that Jesus could heal people just by being near them, that people could touch his cloak, and that they would have their health ailments wholly restored to a healthy condition.  These people told me, “Come on now, that’s just a story.  Surely you don’t believe in some magic healing power, do you?”  “Of course,” I replied.  “Cultures all over the world tell similar stories.  There are shamans right now in Peru who claim they can reach into the spirit world and heal people under the influence of ayahuasca.  And what about Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid?  Remember how he rubbed his hands together and could heal an injury just with a human hand? “  I received a lot of extraordinary looks that migrated into a perplexed state of ambiguity.

But I wasn’t kidding.  I explained to them that there was a science to the miracles of God and a very distinct reason that cultures worldwide could claim to heal people miraculously.  We have moved our culture into a pharmaceutical test lab that treats the pain, not the problem of a health issue.  So, we don’t see much in the way of treatments from unique people who have a knack for healing people just by being around them.  When it comes to Jesus, he would be the ideal kind of person we want our doctors to be.  We should be healing people as they did in the New Testament of the Bible.  Not in the way that we profit off the continued sickness of people, which is what we are doing now.  We talk about spending money to treat the pain of a declining condition.  Where if Jesus were here, he would just put his hand on the sick and cure them of what was bothering them, whether it was blindness, crippled conditions, or even resurrection from death itself.  I would say that the power of God was able through Jesus Christ to stimulate stem cell growth in the recipients, and the healing process would commence in people as if they were just in a fetal state, just starting their lives.  Most stem cell treatments work because they show a body’s current stem cells how to get off their butts and start healing the body again—a kind of capitalism of the human body kind of approach.  Injected stem cells help heal an immediate injury like a torn rotator cup or a busted knee.  However, the stem cells are flushed out of the body relatively quickly.  Long-term health treatment comes from resetting the condition of a person’s biological stem cells so that health can be restored and new tissue can be produced, as young people typically do. 

The evidence suggests that person-to-person contact can influence stem cell growth in a person suffering from an ailment, not just with Jesus but with village shamans and those in Eastern cultures who have different ways of treating health conditions, such as in Japan.  And that if we wanted to treat the sick, we would be looking at that science, taking it out of speculation and turning it into policy.  The Bible is full of paranormal observations where God was in contact with people through other people, and healing was one of the big themes of demonstrating the power of God to those who could not otherwise see it.  And our modern healthcare policy, like so much else that’s wrong, was built to show the power of government, of the power of bureaucracy, and has an element of sacrifice to it for some Marxist greater good.  We seek to profit off the demise of people, to make them pay pharmaceutical companies to ease their pain, while we allow them to die to sacrifice them to some deity, whether it’s Mother Earth or some other supernatural force.  In the end, our current healthcare policy was much dumber than believing in fantasy stories like Jesus healing the sick and being a caretaker to the poor.  The goal of a sound healthcare system would be or should be, freeing people from sickness and dependency on the government or a company seeking to profit from their condition.  Not to build the whole thing around the opposite direction.  “You guys know that type 2 diabetes is a completely reversible condition.  If you change your diet and relieve your pancreas, the beta cells within it will return to life and restore it to a healthy condition.  Beta cells don’t die as many have thought was the terminal condition of diabetes.  They go into shock when they are inundated with either unhealthy lifestyles or genetic conditions that predispose them to retreat to a paralyzed state under trauma.  They can be inspired to return to function with a healthy lifestyle commitment.  That is the kind of real healing that isn’t just a miracle from the Bible.  It’s real.”

The table I was sitting at was quiet with disbelief.  I had touched a nerve.  These people spent many hours a week, very passionate about healthcare, and what I said about stem cells, or diabetes was not part of their daily considerations.  So, I elaborated on the real cure for cancer.  “You guys know that the real cure for cancer is to recalibrate your immune system because the T-cells get lazy and stop seeing dangerous cancer cells for what they are.  It’s like letting too many Democrats run a school board or a county commission.  Of course, they’ll bring sickness in their wake.  The way to supercharge an immune system so that a body kills off cancer cells like people typically do when they are younger, is to reset the immune system back to its calibrated state when it was younger.  All this chemotherapy stuff was as dumb as starting a fire with a rock.  “Fix the T lymphocytes among the white cell count, and you kill off most of the cancers known to us now,” I said.  “And people like Jesus, through the power of God, chronicled in the ancient text of the Bible, observed that these kinds of treatments were possible.  Now, we have the science to understand how and why these things were observed.  And if you guys want a good healthcare system that doesn’t cost much money, then adopt the healthcare policy of Jesus Christ.”  Anything less would just be stupid.  The Bible, especially the New Testament, should be our healthcare policy.  It is not that we are talking about miracles but that God was trying to tell us about the science of healing.  It was possible for unique people with very vibrant personalities to influence the cell structure of a sick person and provoke healing in them.  If we want to be free and healthy in the future, we should recognize the science of those relationships.  And to me, the answer is clear: restoring a person’s stem cells to a calibrated condition that heals them from within instead of treating the pain of a declining condition.  Yes, type 2 diabetes is reversible if we allow our body to heal itself.  Just as many things are if we lean in that direction instead of crippling a body’s ambition to do so with drugs that only make the situation worse.

If you get caught by aliens, say Jesus Christ, and they’ll disappear…………..Yes, I’m serious.

Let the Bengals Leave: They cost too much, lose all the time, and they aren’t worth the money in Cincinnati

I enjoy the NFL product more than most do from the perspective of the premium seats.  Several times a year, I get a chance to watch a football game from the Club section or a private box, and I do like it.  I like the Club Seats at Bengals games, from Paycor Stadium, as they call it today.  I like having the Cincinnati Bengals in town and think it’s great for Ohio to have two NFL teams.  But let’s not forget who does what and for whom here.  Both Ohio NFL teams are complaining about their stadium accommodations.  The Cleveland Browns want to move from their current waterfront Dog Pound and out into the suburbs which seems like a really dumb idea.  Their stadium is right on the Lake Erie waterfront and is really nice.  Most NFL teams have received new stadiums that are exotic domes, such as the new ones in Las Angeles and Las Vegas.  Or they are complaining about getting one.  My favorite team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has a very nice stadium I’ve visited several times. I think they do a really nice job in their community, tying everything together, engaging in community activity, and providing entertainment through sports.  I was never happy with how Raymond James Stadium was publicly funded, as they all are.  But with the Glazer family in Tampa, they built a nice stadium with a big Disney-like pirate ship in it, and it gave fans something fun to enjoy.  And there are events at Raymond James Stadium that go on all year.  They don’t just play NFL football there.  Compared to the Bengals, the Bucs go to the playoffs a lot, and they have won a few Super Bowls.  But the Bengals just don’t win much.  Their season is usually over by December, and they have lost when they have had a chance at the big game.  So, the Brown family in Cincinnati have not been nearly as good of owners as the Glazers in Tampa.  All things have not been equal regarding the NFL experience and the owners who run them.

It was very contentious for taxpayers when the Bengals pushed to get the current stadium they play in, what was called Paul Brown Stadium for a while.  It was not that long ago that it was built; Paycor Stadium is very nice and is one of the big features of the Cincinnati skyline.  And as I said, I attend several games yearly as part of the Club experience.  I’m not a stand-in-line kind of person.  If I can’t get out of my car and go straight into the stadium security and to my seat with a private food service option, I will probably not go to a professional sports venue.  And I’ve been to Paycor stadium in the nice summer months and in the snowy cold days of winter.  And I think it’s great.  But it’s not worth infinite amounts of money.   The Bengals are coming up on the last year of their lease agreement with the county of Hamilton, and they want a better deal.  They threaten to move to a different city if the Hamilton County commissioners don’t lay down and cave to their every demand.  Currently, the Bengals want the taxpayers of Hamilton County to pay $150 million in 2024 and another $150 million in 2025 on stadium repairs, with the team contributing $50 million in exchange for a five-year extension through 2030. However, the county has only committed to $39 million in renovations for 2024 going into 2025 with a sort of blank check mentality. 

So here’s where I’m at with the whole thing: let the Bengals go.  See if another city wants to deal with their crybaby NFL antics.  I’d say the same thing to the Cleveland Browns, too.  While I like the NFL experience, it is a nice thing to have, but Cincinnati, Cleveland, and the state of Ohio generally do more for the NFL than the professional football teams do for those cities.  Good luck, Bengals. Have fun moving to Chattanooga or some other secondary city.  It wouldn’t take long for them to regret the move.  We all remember what happened in Cleveland when Art Modell moved the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore only to call them the Ravens.  Then Bernie Kosar, who used to be a quarterback, lobbied with others to bring an expansion team to Cleveland to become the new Browns, named after the Bengals’ owners.  In the end, the NFL, which is more the way I think of the product than I used to, is an entertainment option closer to big-time wrestling.  It’s something for people to talk about on Monday morning around the water cooler.  But not good for much else.  I think the referees tip the scales to favor betting odds, and they do it through play calls at critical times to get one team to win over another in a close game.  (Buffalo clearly converted that 4th down over the Chiefs in that recent big game)  There is too much money involved for the NFL not to be rigged in some fashion, so the whole product’s value is purely entertainment.  And there is a limit to how much money anybody should spend on entertainment.  I think these NFL teams should pay their own way, especially in the Bengals’ case; they should pay Cincinnati for the privilege to play.  It should not fall on the county to pay the expenses of a private enterprise.  The NFL everywhere has a broken financial model that double dips the taxpayers.  But when teams don’t win now and then, a team like the Bengals abuses their relationship with the public.

Considering the size of the payrolls, some of these repairs that the Bengals want to be made at the stadium, whether it’s 30 million for some new paint or 300 million for structural improvements and general maintenance, the money should come out of the Bengals, and they should be happy to pay it to be treated as well as they are in the city of Cincinnati.  Instead, and this is expected in all NFL cities, the expectation is that the public pays once in taxes to build stadiums for these entertainment options, and then they have to pay again to go to the stadium.  And it costs a lot of money.  Nothing is cheap at an NFL game.   So, the NFL product is a pretty bad financial model, and they treat the cities they play in as if they are doing everyone a favor by watching them play football.  As I said, I think the Glazer family in Tampa does a good job building a relationship with the community that pays taxes for a stadium that is much more friendly to the community than what the Bengals do.  Or the Browns.  And the Bengals, for all the trouble and cost they impose on the community, can’t win enough even to justify themselves.  Everyone knew at the start of the 2024 season that the Bengals were in trouble.  Sure, they had a great quarterback and some great receivers.  But the coaching staff was lazy, disengaged, and lackluster.  And the defense was horrendous.  And that was game one of the season.  Going to games during that entire season was like buying an expensive hot dog so the grandkids could listen to loud music and watch losers lose.  The Bengals have not been good owners; they take, take, take from the community, and they don’t know how to win or give the community something to be proud of.  And my advice to the county of Hamilton would be just to let them go.  Call their bluff and let them leave.  One or two playoff games could have generated more than enough money to pay for the stadium repairs.  When you have several players with multi-million dollar contracts in the hundreds of millions, this money they want from the county is chump change.  The Bengals should pay for everything.  And they should pay for the right to play in Cincinnati.  If they’re going to leave, let them.  See how they like the next place they go.  Cincinnati would do just fine without them and their losing ways.

I’m Very Proud of J.D. Vance: Why he’s the best pick for 2028

It’s fair to say that I am very proud of J.D. Vance.  Now that he’s the Vice President in the White House, I can’t help but think of the various interactions I’ve had with him leading up to this opportunity, and I can’t help but think of it all in some divinely inspired way. It’s one of those things that you knew in the back of your mind, but conscious reality had no clue, and when those things come together, it’s just nice to look at, such as the Grand Canyon, Mt Rushmore, or the Washington Monument.  I like thinking about Washington, D.C. more these days since Trump is back in the White House. I think my wife and I are actually going to visit it soon and enjoy it with a fresh perspective.  But what’s different this time, and when I first met him, J.D. Vance already had celebrity status because of his book and Netflix movie, The Hillbilly Elegy, but to watch J.D. move up through obscurity and into the White House the way I remember it was quite a story and I have been reflecting a lot, almost as though I witnessed the hand of God move him as a chess piece through a wild and dark time.  And it took a lot of good people to make that chess move happen, and it’s a miracle.  But also an important lesson.  As I said well before Trump was re-elected, and back in July, a few days after being shot in the head from an assassination attempt, I said that people were going to be so happy with Trump that when his term was up in four years that nobody would want him to leave.  But J.D. Vance was a promising young man who would best be able to pick up the administration and continue it for another 8 years.  There will be many good people in the Republican Party who will run and offer themselves for the job.  But as J.D. Vance said to Maria Bartiromo on the first Sunday of February 2025, nobody has a front-row seat on how to be Trump in the White House other than this current Vice President.  He’ll be the best and most apparent pick to carry on what Trump started, and I’m just proud of him.

I first met J.D. Vance in the back of Nancy Nix’s yard, by her pool.  During the primaries, I was most supportive of that new senate seat for Josh Mandel because I knew he was a Tea Party kind of guy, and I was tired of RINOs in the Republican Party and didn’t want to support one more.  J.D. Vance back then had said bad things about Trump, and I wasn’t about to forget about them.  But Nancy was lobbying me to support the young man because, in a tight primary, I could have some critical things to say that might get people to vote one way or another.  So she called me and told me she would have J.D. Vance over at her house, and I should meet him.  I wasn’t excited because my wife and I were swamped then.  However, I always give Nancy time when she brings something up because she has excellent political instincts, so I went to her house to hear out J.D. Vance.  By her pool, I had a chance to talk to the future Vice President and communicated my reluctance to him and why.  I asked him why he thought he could be a good senator and withstand the temptations of all the corruption that goes on in Washington, D.C., for which he explained to me that he just wasn’t that kind of guy and that he would fight hard to represent us all well in that high office.  My first thought was that everyone says that.  But with J.D. Vance, it took on a bit more meaning, and I believed him and decided to support him.  It’s more for Nancy Nix than anything else.  But that would soon change into a life of its own.

Once J.D. Vance won, I saw him many times and always treated those times without much shock.  He was just another politician doing the work we needed him to do in Ohio, and I was happy with him.  But he was very accessible.  I was involved in a side event that involved many people for J.D. Vance to tour as part of his role as senator to bring attention to some crucial topics.  While I was talking to these people, we were talking about shared interests in the upcoming Lincoln Day Dinner, where Ron DeSantis would be the featured speaker.  I thought it might be a good idea to talk to J.D. Vance personally about other off-site things, but his people told me that Vance wouldn’t be going to the popular Butler County dinner because he didn’t want Trump to think he was endorsing the Florida Governor for President.  At that time, many people were pushing DeSantis to replace Trump in the 2024 election.  I admired that J.D. Vance was that much loyal to Trump when just about nobody else was.  And, of course, it would pay off later, down the stretch.  When it mattered most, Trump picked J.D. Vance as his VP because, under tremendous pressure, the future VP showed what he was made of when just about everyone, except for Nancy Nix, thought otherwise.

I’ve seen J.D. Vance quite a lot with Don Jr. and Bernie Moreno and had a nice front-row seat to see his political capital rise.  Looking back at all the hard work and the people who helped him along the way, with the best of intentions, he seemed pretty crazy at times to be so loyal to Trump and not appear at a very popular Butler County event to make sure his support was evident.  Nobody, except for me, thought Trump had a chance of returning to office.  But now that he has, I am pretty sure nobody will ever want to go back to the stuffy politics of a Republican in the White House again in the ways they were before Trump came along.  They will wish for Trump II, and right now, J.D. Vance is being personally trained to do that job.  And he has been doing it all the right way.  He’s from my area, there was always something special about him, even when everyone talked in their shorts under the hot summer sun in the back of Nancy Nix’s house by her pool.  And when I watch Vance on TV now and think of all the steps it took to get there because I was able to see many of them up close, it does display the hand of God reaching in and molding politics to build on earth the intentions of Heaven and to grant upon America the best that God can give to people he has picked to represent him.  So, it’s not too early to discuss J.D. Vance for 2028.  As we do, I have to say that I am proud of J.D. Vance for having the courage to accept God’s hand and not waiver when it would have been easy to do so.  He never did; he is as true to our cause as anyone on Earth.  I am proud to see him as a direct member of the Trump White House.  And the future looks very bright, and for all those reasons that he arrived there and more.

The Tariff’s on Mexico, Canada, and China: Stopping the looting of Marxist countries and their unearned merit

Let’s do some basic math to understand the genius of Trump’s economic proposals of using tariffs to replace internal taxation, and to put the wealth that America generates back to the people who make it, not the leeching socialists, communists, and Marxists who have been living off America for over a century with unearned merit.  President Trump is talking about getting rid of the ridiculous Jekyll Island progressive income tax system that was devised in 1913, which generates around 2.4 trillion dollars a year.  The new proposed tariffs for Mexico and Canada are around 25% to deal with a trade deficit of around 200 billion dollars for each country.  DOGE is discussing cutting around one trillion dollars from the budget, which I think is a very conservative start.  There is much more to get, but it’s a good beginning.   And with China, Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on top of an already maintained limit of roughly 10.1%.  So there is a long way to go to get all these countries up and over 20%.  And we haven’t even started talking about Europe, specifically the EU, and the lack of support they all have poured into NATO, which we have almost funded at 100%.  Socialist economists, just about everyone coming out of the university system, can’t get their minds around this.  But essentially, enough money would be generated to take America back to wealth levels before the creation of the Fed and the Internal Revenue Service.  Enough money will be generated to create an External Revenue Service, allowing us to eliminate the federal income tax and replace it with better revenue generators. 

The problem with Jekyll Island was that it was created by very wealthy people who were globalists in their assumption about where the world was headed, and it essentially planned to use the United States to fund a one-world government off the backs of Americans.  And even if America were left a carcass in the end, it would be, from the socialist point of view, for the greater good.  And that’s where we find ourselves today.  Only, they never planned for Americans to ever put someone like President Trump in office with a promised platform to undo it all.   I think the Jekyll Island participants were trying to do what they thought was right when they came up with the Federal Reserve and the Progressive Income Tax system.  But most murderers could also justify their crimes in the same way.  It sounded like a good idea then, but upon reflection, over a century later, it was a disaster.  And we’re tired of it.  What Trump is talking about doing is brilliant and well-needed.  It will be earth-shattering for the world.  It will cause some short-term disruptions in the supply chain and profit margins.  It will drive up prices a bit, but that’s OK.  There are a lot of costs that will snap into shape quickly, and people will be pleased with the result.  We have needed as a nation to cut ties with all these socialist and communist countries who, by design, were set up to loot and pillage American capitalism to choke it off and destroy it and call it good, friendly international relations. 

Watching Justin Trudeau speaking from Canada about the pending tariffs was quite a spectacle.  That Canadians would cry over tariffs from America, which would undoubtedly be painful for them, indicates how out of touch they have always been.  They have existed off the good work that America has produced, which has allowed them to spread Marxism to every corner of the planet while not paying the price for too much-centralized government.  In many ways, Mexico has enjoyed the same liberties, which is why the country is run essentially by drug cartels.  Their trade imbalance with the United States has allowed them to make bad economic decisions because if they stumbled and fell, it was the United States that always picked them back up.  It is through the theft and looting that China has gained superpower status from emerging as essentially a third-world backwater armpit of a country, as it was during World War II and would have easily been conquered by Japan if America had not intervened.  The same people who put together the plan for Jekyll Island are the same type of investors who propped up China to become a world power of dominant communism and the global, centralized government model.  And these efforts are over a century old, but they didn’t just start there.  They emerged with the Marxist movement as soon as transportation allowed for easy travel and communication from country to country.  Globalism planned to loot off the success of America, steal American wealth, and redistribute it through centralized government to every corner of the world.  That is the hard fact of centralized banking and their intentions at Jekyll Island.  It was an early form of predatory lending to destroy the host for some lofty investment in social construct.  China didn’t earn its wealth; it was created by the very same global investors who purposely tried to destroy America without firing a single shot in a military campaign.  And President Trump is doing as he promised he would upon re-election; he’s stopping the carnage. 

America’s best years were around 1870 to 1913.  After that Jekyll Island mess, everything started going downhill from there.  And it is back to those policies that President Trump is proposing to return.  This is the period of western expansion, gold coming out of the west, railroads, and great optimism.  It’s why progressives want us to think of that period as an imposition on the American Indian.  At that time, boatloads of Marxists were stepping off ships in New York from Europe and trying to convince everyone what a brilliant idea Karl Marx had.  Because Americans were personally wealthy, compared to other places in the world, they could afford to listen, and the poison was injected into our political system, which has stayed there for more than a century now.  However, President Trump is finally starting to remove that poisoning from our political and economic systems.  And it will happen quickly because the value of what is made in the world primarily comes from America—and consumed.  So goes America, so goes the world.  It might take a minute to untangle the mess given to us.  However, Trump’s tariffs are the first step toward a much more excellent economic recovery package.  Not one that looks at the 80s and wants to replicate Ronald Reagan.  However, one that steps back to the 1870s, the period of Reconstruction, where more people of all places and colors could elevate their lives through personal wealth than had occurred at any point in history.  The economy Trump is proposing to build and do it quickly will be the greatest that history has ever seen anywhere in the world at any time.  But best of all, these countries getting tariffs to cover trade imbalances are all losers who have adopted Karl Marx’s thoughts about economic development.  America is turning away from that garbage, and it will force those other countries to do the same, or they won’t be able to compete.  They have avoided that fate up until now because America funded their communist fantasies.  But with Trump’s moves, that isn’t happening anymore.  And that is great news ahead of an exciting future.

When Stupidity and a Lack of Skill are Deliberate Acts of Terrorism: The radicalism of federal employees

We may see significant accidents like the one in Philadelphia every day, and we should look at them all as acts of terrorism, purposeful attacks on our American culture.  That plane was registered in Mexico, and we are seeing the effects of DEI policies and globalism in general everywhere, which is likely a massive contributor to this most recent plane crash in Pennsylvania, unskilled pilots from another country getting lost in the clouds, or having their vehicles taken over due to too much automation by a third party for the act of sabotage and destruction to push a political agenda, such as trying to stop the Trump administration with PR nightmares that consume all their time and resources.  But let’s not forget about the strange plane crash in Washington D.C., where a military helicopter ran straight into a landing commercial airliner over the Potomac, killing all on board, for no good reason at all.  The aircraft should not have been at that flight altitude of 400 feet.  It should have been much lower.  There is a lot wrong with the military helicopter because even if the air traffic control people messed everything up in managing all the aircraft in the air over Ronald Reagan International that night, the pilots would have clear visibility at the 11 o’clock positions of the passenger jet, and could have stopped well in advance.   They flew right into the plane and did nothing to try to swerve out of the way, leaving many to suspect that the helicopter was being flown remotely.  And the passengers flying it may not have been conscious.  That the voice heard talking to the air traffic controllers was A.I. driven because it did not lend credence to the observed reality.  There would be no way the pilots wouldn’t have seen what they were about to face. 

But all these things now, these purposeful terrorist actions of sabotaging flights to make them crash, just ahead of President Trump’s executive orders forcing all federal workers back to work, are more than a coincidence.  I listened to the news outlets talking about these crashes with wall-to-wall coverage, shaking my head at all they were missing.  This is the kind of Saul Alinsky strategy that the radical left globalists expect out of good, loving, everyday people.  They think we are gullible, even stupid, and we won’t see the truth behind all this evil because we cannot process it.  There is a lot more to the story of the air traffic control tower at Reagan International that needed to be staffed with 30 people, and only 19 were working that night.  The quality of the people working in all these jobs were DEI hires, meaning that the priority for employment was their skin color or handicap condition, which gave them priority over other qualified applicants.  Being understaffed is not an excuse when your work’s policies make it so that everyone is dealing with an utterly artificial constraint of only hiring certain people, broken people, under the disguise of fairness when the intent is genuinely sabotage.  To sabotage the merit-based society of America and to have it fall apart with the push of a button.  Yes, when you have so many automated systems that do not require skilled people to do the jobs, don’t be surprised when it all goes wrong.  But why now, and why almost every night?  Well, for that answer, you have to understand the radicalism of the average federal worker, including those at the FBI and CIA who belong to radical labor unions and have gained way too much power and, when pressed, are perfectly capable of abusing it.

As I watched the various clips of all these crashes, especially the one in Washington, D.C., it looked very similar to the Tesla Cybertruck bombing in front of Trump Tower in Las Vegas.  Notice how that story disappeared?  Or the massacre by the Islamic radicals in New Orleans at almost the same time on New Year’s Day.  In the Tesla case, these vehicles can drive themselves.  So you could kill the driver and put him in the seat so that the body gets the blame when the explosion happens, and all the investigators are happy to have at least found some believable evidence of the culprit.  Only in the Cybertruck case did we see the driver moving right before the explosion, which brings up a whole new layer of problems.  Can people be remotely controlled? The answer is yes, especially if they have military backgrounds where mental conditioning can turn them into compliant soldiers incapable of free thought with the flick of a mental switch.  All these characters have the same characteristics as the Las Vegas shooter at the concert venue during the first Trump term.  When the military is involved, as it was in the Washington D.C. plane crash, or we are dealing with open borders and exchanges with globalism, as was certainly the case with the crash in Philadelphia, we are seeing terrorism purposefully concealed within systems of trust so that we can never know the intent hidden behind assumption.  The assumption is that equality is more important than skill, which then leaves always a back door open for the terrorists to exploit the unskilled and unleash terror.  While everyone is trying to figure out what happened and are looking at control towers understaffed, the real terrorists stay hidden behind their push-button concealments and get away with the crime. 

To find these terrorists, we need only to look at the conditions for which these tragedies are presented and to know what federal workers are motivated by.  The traditional action behind a tragedy is to throw more workers at a problem, but the attack against this Trump administration that is firing people in massive amounts is to create a crisis that indicates that fewer federal workers will lead to more tragedy.  And that the more federal workers we fire, the more these kinds of accidents will happen.  Leaving everyone to consider whether or not such an evil proposition is even possible.  And I would say, based on lots and lots of experience, that yes, this is very possible and highly likely.  If we were to look beyond the investigative veil of the dead pilots in the seats of crashed aircraft, cars, and control towers, we would most likely find angry, radicalized leftist Trump haters who are using automated systems to hack into them and cause accidents hoping to stop Trump and his crusade to remove such employees from our federal government.  Yes, crazy people will kill the innocent for what they think is the greater good.  And too often, by these types of people, the greater good is defined by John Lennon’s song “Imagine.”  When you have millions of federal employees, there are always a percent or two who are off their rocker, especially when the Biden administration prioritized hiring practices through DEI.   The current number of incompetent, radicalized workers is much higher.  Terrorism was always baked into those politics so that if they ever needed push button terrorism, they would have it.  And I think that’s what we are seeing, push button terrorism driven to stop Trump’s policy and panic the public into a sense of unease.  As we strive to make America Great Again, we will increasingly see the people who want to prevent that from happening conduct an open war on our trust and try to bomb us back into the stone age through the embedded DEI policies and excessive reliance on automated systems to make DEI even remotely possible, but taking skill out of consideration and making it easy to exploit the stupid for acts of terror.  To see all that, it only requires the next layer of questions of the observable reality to be noticed.  It’s not a coincidence; it’s an attack.

The Evil Avatar of Bishop at the National Cathedral: Fighting back and taking our country away from them

When Bishop Marianan Edgar Budde from the Episcopal Diocese of Washington lectured Trump about progressive causes during the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral, the only explanation for it was that a vast evil was at work and revealing itself through its earthly avatars.  For which people like her are.  This evil knows that people no longer respect it or are willing to give it a seat at the table in America and that it is losing power.  And it was upset about it.  It reminded me of what happened to Mike Pence at the Broadway play Hamilton after the 2016 election, where the cast there felt they had a right to lecture the incoming Trump administration to keep itself in the dirt and not to get any funny ideas about elevating humanity to any assumption of greatness, and otherwise to scare people away from following God’s commandments to a better life.  Mike Pence himself has shown a tendency to be one of these avatars of evil and it’s always the same demonic voice that pops up in different people.  Evil is not the same entity, but it spawns from the same type of voice that has always loomed in the background.  Only this time, there was a kind of Wicked Witch of the North sort of panic in it, and it came out that day in front of the nice and wonderful Trump family sitting there to have a national prayer before the Inauguration Day ceremonies.  Yes, Melania’s big hat that day was appropriate for the evil we are all fighting, but now, instead of hiding in the background, it shows itself with a sort of desperation we knew was always there.  It was utterly inappropriate but not unexpected.

We didn’t see the clips until later, the next couple of days after the National Prayer, and Trump had to call her what she was and dismiss her radicalism essentially, but I kept thinking of my favorite Akira Kurosawa movie, Dreams when thinking about that day.  It is something I’ve mentioned to my audience before, and I talk about it a lot when appropriate, but there is a fantastic scene in that movie that Japanese people seem to understand better than almost any culture in the world, and that is the nature of evil and how to manage it.  Three mountain climbers are lost during a snowstorm, and they can’t find their camp, and they are dying.  An angel comes to whisper in their ears to let go of this life and to join her in the next.  She is very beautiful and convincing, and to escape the pain of the storm, the leader of the group is tempted to follow her to death.  But while she gently nudges him, he remembers who he is and decides to fight back, so he begins to resist.  The angel starts to panic because she intends to take him away into the realm of death.  After several minutes of this struggle, the demon gives up, and its face reveals what it always was: the face of a skull, not a beautiful woman; it evaporates into the storm, and shortly, the skies clear, and it is revealed to the three dying climbers that they had found their camp.  It was always there, but evil kept them from seeing it.  It’s an excellent scene from a fantastic movie by an outstanding film director.  And it applied to that Bishop that day who thought she had a right and obligation to lecture Trump on how he needed to run his administration. 

Evil has been working through DEI and many other left-leaning practices to deplete our culture and send us all back into the realm of Hell, where they rule through broken people and low ambition.  When we notice in the Bible that the Hebrews have many rules against a dirty life, it is essentially to push back against this desecration of human achievement, and the cheerleaders are always these weak people who seem to have lost their minds because, in truth, they are being controlled by a vast evil that uses them for their magical practices.  In many ways, our country turned away from that evil by electing Trump, and we decided to push back against these evil creatures, one of which showed itself as a Bishop in a Church that the radical left tried to burn down just four years ago.  This is how people like this Bishop even get into those jobs to begin with, as the people who run the church feel they need to appease evil by giving them one of their own so that the vast evil that is always lurking in the shadows won’t try to destroy them again.  Appeasement is the game; we have been playing it as a country for far too long.  We are pushing back against their influence, and they aren’t happy about it.  They hide their intentions behind good causes, just as this bishop was hiding within the safety of the Church.  So, how many of these other evil creatures have been hiding behind DEI policies that mean to kill us all and convince us to give up a good life and follow manipulative demons into the world of death and destruction? 

Trump was right to demand an apology and not to accept her nonsense just because she was evil hiding behind the role of a church bishop.  Like those mountain climbers in that Akira Kurasawa story, Trump was pushing back at evil, representing us so that we could drive many of these evil characters out of the White House and our government in general.  To Make America Great Again means we must embrace the concept of greatness and not lower ourselves to assumptions of guilt and futility.  We are not going to build our society around the seductions of evil, to take advantage of our compassion for those less fortunate, and to be tricked into building our entire culture around weakness disguised as compassion while destroying, in the process, everything that is good.  And maybe for the first time from such a public person, Trump pushed back when otherwise everyone would have just shut their mouths because the person speaking was a bishop, and from an evil point of view, nobody in their right mind would criticize a person of God.  Except it’s all been a trick, and Trump, like that mountain climber, pushed back at evil and sent it on its way in frustration, which came out in the voice of the Bishop.  She was, like the seductress demon, rejected and now displaced.  The demons of Hell are confused as to what can be done now that people are aware of them and want to fight back instead of appeasing them with unearned guilt.  Saul Alinsky understood how to usher in this vast evil by the good nature of Christian people.  And it had been working; evil has been having its way with all of us.  Until now…………

When Police Break the Law, They Have to be Punished: The J6 prisoners never should have spent one day in jail

I said it right after the event; everyone can look up all the videos and see what I wrote then.  I always said that the January 6th incident in 2021, when people were upset at election fraud and stormed the Capitol Building, had to happen.  I didn’t understand why everyone made such a big deal about it.  After all, there was a government that just stole an election to perform a coup against President Trump, and they thought they were going to get away with it like some backwoods third-world armpit of a country.  A certain percentage of the population needed to express their anger in some way, and in this case, it was by letting the government know that the people’s house was theirs and that they could take it back if they wanted to.  Now, there are all kinds of things wrong with that day, especially among the 26 FBI agents who spread out through the massive crowd around the Capitol to bait people to break the law so that they could call the whole thing an insurrection so that they could blame Trump for it and in the process, destroy his political life from then on.  When a massive crowd showed up to hear with some hope, Trump’s last speech to them ahead of certifying the election results, the FBI, in coordination with Nancy Pelosi and others, plotted with some bait to push these angry people into a collective action that they could use to club the MAGA movement over the head and deter any further protests against the government coup.  And some people broke windows and acted in a manner that I would never do.  And a few people died and got hurt.  But my attitude about it all then and now was, what did anybody expect to happen?  The government stole an election and took away a president people liked.  They were lucky that was all that happened, “they” being the government.

So it had to happen that Trump pardoned all the poor people who were thrown in jail for the last four years just over a government trying hard to stay in power through intimidation and force.  When the government breaks the law and controls how the law is interpreted, you cannot have a civil society if law enforcement doesn’t enforce the law but provokes themselves into breaking the law and uses the law to cover up their crimes, which was what happened on January 6th, 2021.  We have a Constitution that limits the power that government has, especially specified in the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, and the January 6th prisoners had all those rights violated unjustly.  Their due process was deliberately violated, and what was done to them was completely unforgivable.  Law enforcement should expect people to fight back if they violate the protections people have from an out-of-control government.  Democrats have been saying that Trump should have never released with a pardon most of the J6 prisoners because they assaulted police officers.  But when police officers break the law or the enemy captures your legal society, what are you supposed to do?  The plan by the government was to capture our legal system and then break laws by controlling the enforcement.  And they thought nothing of using the January 6th incident to put people in jail to send a message to the rest of the country that if they were thought to be involved, even remotely, in a plot against the corrupt government, they would have their rights taken away from them and would be jailed as a message to the rest of the world.  It was nasty stuff.

I would never do anything like the J6 protestors did.  I would fight it out in court.  As much as it is fun to fight back and even justified, I do much better with my mouth than any other method, and I would use it instead of violence.  I’ve been in enough of those things to know that my mouth is the best weapon against corrupt people who aren’t nearly as smart.  I had a lot of talks with people who wanted a lot more violence that day.  I even took serious steps to join the Proud Boys after the stolen election in 2020, so I know those guys pretty well.  It didn’t work out; I’m too cerebral to march around in a pack of volunteer ground troops. I wanted to join to help to lead them to good things.  Not to be just another face in the crowd.  So it didn’t come together, me joining the Proud Boys.  But that’s how it was after the election, and I had to explain to many people that the best way to club these people over the head is with lawfare of their own.  Trump understood that even if he knew what the government was doing was wrong, he had to follow the rules to later enforce the rules.  A lot of the reason things are working so well now is because Trump played by the rules, and the people elected him back to office.   We all had to thread the needle pretty well to get to this period because there were a lot of people who wanted open violence and another Civil War against the government, and I can say I did all I could to maintain peace during this challenging time.  But many people were ready to fight, so the government was lucky that all that happened was all that happened. 

Anybody in law enforcement has to understand that if they take orders from the bad guys, we don’t have a blank check society that is going to take it.  We give law enforcement the authority to be treated with respect.  But it’s on them if they lose that respect through improper behavior.  I can say this: I served this past year as a Forman of a Grand Jury, and we did a couple of cases where the police abused their authority in collecting evidence for an arrest.  I could see from the testimony that the police officers were frustrated with their investigation into a drug house.  They knew the criminals were dirty, so they pulled a couple of them over for an improperly functioning turn signal.  And in the process, they found all the drugs and evidence they needed to make the arrest.  Well, most of the members of the grand jury did not agree with me, and they moved not to indict because they didn’t like to see an abuse of authority by the cops to use a traffic stop to make a significant drug bust.  I was disappointed, but I understood their reasoning.  Respect for the law is the only way to keep our society functioning.  But when the bad guys capture your law and order society and attempt to hide crimes behind their control of the system, don’t expect people to put up with it.  And that was undoubtedly the plan behind J6.  I would say that the government was lucky they got away with not having more violence applied to them.  If law enforcement seeks to abuse the law, they should expect the public to get angry and respond.  We don’t expect to respect the law and authority no matter what.  However, we give away that privilege to law enforcement on a conditional basis, and that contract is to keep their powers limited by the Constitution.  Suppose they violate that contract, as they did over the stolen election in 2020? In that case, people will take action to restore those limited powers to the theater of expectation.  And the government should be happy that more people didn’t lash out than they did.  I would do it differently, but I understood their reasoning, like those grand jury members I mentioned.  And that is certainly the case with the J6 prisoners.  They should have never spent one day in jail.  Who is going to give them back their lives?  President Trump was very correct in getting them out of jail.  Because if he didn’t, our legal system would be much less effective if we let such an injustice loose to maintain a polite society.  No, we must do what’s right, even if things get a little pushy.  The J6 prisoners had every right in the world and an expectation to do what they did.  The government broke the law and used it to hide major, massive crimes.  And they are lucky that they are still around to have a legal discussion.  It could have been much worse.

Rich People In Trump’s Administration is a Great Thing: Government serves us, not the other way around

I don’t see any problem with all the wealthy people now involved with Trump’s White House.  The anxiety people feel is misplaced because you must remember that the government has limited powers for a reason.  People in government do not rule us.  They are there to serve us.  So, from my perspective, if a bunch of rich people want to serve us through government in some way, then that can only be a good thing.  When I hear people worry about all these rich people who are suddenly eating out of Trump’s hand when they have been very hostile to him, it’s important to remember what the government is supposed to be doing.  I will never trust Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerbucks, Larry Ellison, or any of those guys.  Bill Gates should be in jail for his role in COVID-19 and the cover-up of where it all came from.  But I’m not surprised that Trump has sat down with him and listened to him.  And I’m certainly not surprised they suddenly want to be Trump’s friend.  Everyone must remember that this is why you want a government that represents you, and you want people like Trump, who have achieved a unique place in life, to represent us freely.  The government is purposefully limited so that wealth and power can’t be captured and used against people like a king might do.  So all this oligarchy talk is a lot to do about nothing.  The more, the better, from my perspective.  Wealth gives people freedom, which is part of the American system and the ultimate resume.  This is proof of a successful life, and when we put people in positions to do great things for us in government, there is no way to fake the credentials of a very public and wealthy person.  The proof is in their life. 

If Trump hadn’t been wealthy, he would not have been able to become president.  It took massive wealth to fight back against a system that was designed to abandon our Constitution and impose tyranny, just as has been the case since the beginning of time.  I know people’s suspicions about wealthy people only increase from a biblical perspective.  Only recently in the West has the idea of self-government been created and imposed through revolution.  Much of that revolution was caused by wealthy people who had acquired a perspective of freedom that comes best from wealth.  So, rich people had to be well connected to the powers of tyranny to have anything during the biblical era.  They couldn’t be trusted.  Yet it’s a much different reference point under the American system where wealth is gained through innovation and hard work.  Wealth in itself isn’t merit.  But it reflects a life of good decisions and social victory as a measure in a free market economy.  However, that measure is very new on the world stage, and many hostile agents worldwide want things to be as they were for centuries, where wealth gained meant to rule over the many.  And Democrats have been playing on those fears for a long time to gain power in that very traditional sense.  However, as is Elon Musk, Trump is different, and many people have attached themselves to Trump’s efforts.  I know from Vivek Ramaswamy because he’s from my area, and I’ve been able to talk to him about it, that as a young and wealthy person, he is attracted to helping people with the money he has gained.  So, he finds himself attached to the Trump administration in many ways.  And I think that’s what we are seeing a lot of now that Trump is the President.

Many of those same names had been attaching themselves to the old measures of wealth understanding.  People were suspicious of rich people because history gave them a lot of reason to be so.  The Bible reflects this fear dramatically.  Rich people like Jeff Bezos, who wanted to go out and use his money to buy a trophy wife and lots of cool toys to play with, wanted to prove that they weren’t bad people, even if, in some ways, they were terrible people living a life of sin and scandal.  However, they gained wealth under the free market system because they did something really well that made them a lot of money.  Like in Jeff Bezos’s situation, he made Amazon the best online retailer in the world, making my life infinitely better.  I would argue that the books sold under Amazon have been a tremendous part of the freedom movement in America.  Even though Amazon tried to become part of the censorship movement in some cases, the freedom of access to information through Amazon has given voice to free market ideas, ultimately leading to President Trump’s election.  Even if Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post as a blog to destroy Trump essentially, the total sum of all the work made people more accessible to consider uniquely American ideas about wealth representation in government.  In the market of ideas, Trump was picked by the public regardless of what the static order had to say about it.  And Bezos’ actions speak louder than his words because his words were shaped by a kind of deceit formed by a biblical view of the world where he aligned himself with Democrat politics to prove that he wasn’t just another rich guy who wanted to rule the world.  That he was with the people as a social order defined it then.

Rich people have a freedom that we all would like to have, and it is part of the fantasy of the American style of government to provide the best and brightest to the world of merit.  When Biden warns of a Trump administration of oligarchs, that comes from a person who would otherwise be poor if he did not sell his offices to enrich his family, as many people have done in government for a long time, it’s been a running joke in politics.  However, that kind of wealth is not the same kind that someone like Trump has produced.  They might all be rich, but their money came from different places.  Trump didn’t get rich by cozying up to the powerful.  He became rich and powerful by doing a good job.  And we love America because its economic system gives us a chance at just such a life.  So we want to support those who do make it and then decide to use the wealth and freedom they have gained to help others have a shot at the same.  Or at least make life better for people in any way possible.  And that’s what I see happening around Trump.  These aren’t rich people as we traditionally and biblically know them.  These people have had the pretense of wealth socially stripped away and are now free to use that wealth to do extraordinary things with it.  And Trump is giving them access to do just that.   Suspicion of them is natural.  And they are not suddenly good people just because they have money.  But part of what makes America great is that wealth is a scoreboard of success and that it’s always a good thing to have successful people making decisions that can make a country better and improve the world’s condition.  Trump is making that happen for the first time in history, which is ultimately a very good thing for everyone.
