They Call Them Lily Whites: How Assassins are created by drug funded organizations hell-bent on Political Radicalism

They call them Lily Whites, the kind of people that were put in place to kill President Trump.  That’s what the intelligence community calls them; it’s a technique they have used for years to assassinate people they want out of the way.  Find a kind of fringy white kid already off their rocker a bit and push him off with some gentle or not-so-gental nudging.  And soon, you have a young white male full of discontent, ready to throw their life away for some social cause, knowing full well that they won’t walk away from the matter alive.  I could get into all kind of evidence based details of how this kind of international mob works, but to simplify it, the CIA utilizes this technique all over the world, best known as Operation Gladio, which goes back to World War II and is funded by black budgets not connected to congress, or any voter based oversight, and they operate as a fourth branch of government and have been in the business of killing people for decades.  This kid who tried to kill Trump, Mathew Crooks, fits almost the exact profile and mode of behavior as Timothy McVeigh did in the Oklahoma City bombing.  McVeigh didn’t just wake up one day and decide to kill a bunch of innocent people with a rented truck filled with explosives.  He had help, a lot of help, starting with a bunch of Iraqi radicals all juiced up by the CIA living as a terrorist cell in Oklahoma City.  There was in the truck with McVeigh, and escaping from the scene of the crime that horrible day of April 19th, 1995, a Middle Eastern terrorist who was there all along.  After the killing, there were more than 22 sworn witnesses collected by television reporter Jayna Davis from Channel 4 Oklahoma City, who saw a Middle Eastern man with McVeigh before and after the most significant terrorist act to happen on American soil at that time.  And guess who decided not to pursue all those leads and instead harassed the reporter for asking questions about the official narrative?  The FBI, of course, is looking out for their friends in the intelligence community who have plenty of candy to sprinkle around to plenty of agents not happy with their already inflated government pensions.  There is a lot of drug money that the CIA uses to fund their activities, and for people who play ball with them, it’s a quick way to get a lifetime of security and a free condo in Florida. 

Oh, and yes, it’s not a question any longer about these same characters using the Lily White model to nudge the killers in 9/11 to do their deed.  Many of the same kind of people behind the Oklahoma City bombing were involved in that one as well.  Just find a few people willing to die for a cause and push them toward the target.  We’d see the same kind of coverups in subsequent years, the San Bernadino Christmas shooting and the Las Vegas shooter, which we still don’t know much about.  Most mass shootings can be traced back to this Lily White terrorist approach of weaponizing young radicals without a lot of parental support and casting them into a situation of terror where they are killed at the scene of the crime or quickly captured and disposed of in other ways.  That’s what they did with McVeigh, who went to his grave, not telling anybody about his Iraqi friends.  The FBI didn’t want to know and covered up the tracks.  And McVeigh was so anti-government that he thought he was sticking it to the man even up to the day of his lethal injection execution. 

Many people have asked me over the years what the difference is between Timothy McVeigh and someone like me, who has a lot of opinions about government and how the world should work.  Well, this is a common motivation for the creation of Lily Whites, which the CIA and FBI are very well aware of to the point where it’s an internal joke among them.  They are easy to make and use for committing crimes toward political activism they want to see happen.  But I could never be a Lily White or be anything like Timothy McVeigh.  McVeigh became radicalized during his Gulf War experience and began to sympathize with the people under the thumb of the American military, and he took that anger out on the government.  I see the government as representative of the American people and as needing reform to perform the task.  Lily Whites usually end up wanting some form of anarchy, and their controllers can then push their psychological buttons to shove them in the direction to make that happen.  So the FBI will say about Crooks that he was obsessed with Trump and saw that day in Butler, Pennsylvania, as a “target of opportunity,” and they can get away with it because that part is genuine.  They don’t tell anybody the rest of the story, the part they played in the effort.  Crooks was talking to people before the shooting, and it looked like they had foreign connections. Some of the cell phone pings trace to a character in Washington, D.C., near the FBI building.  There is a lot of circumstantial evidence there, but the FBI is investigating the case, so nobody in the CIA is worried about anything tracing back to them.  They’ve done this many times before and got away with it.  And they will continue to do it so long as nobody busts them for their domestic terrorism and political manipulation. 

No, of course not; this is not a conspiracy theory.  After 9/11, serious journalism looked at this story about Oklahoma City and tried to break it loose.  Even Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly did pieces on it, using the excellent work Jayna Davis had done as a reporter, which uncovered all kinds of stones.  However, the story died in predictable ways, especially after 9/11.  Jayna wrote a book called The Third Terrorist, laying the whole thing out for a court to prosecute.  But The New York Times corporation did what is now a familiar story all over America when it comes to radical communism and characters like Larry Fink, who happens to run Blackrock when all he wanted to do in his life was be in politics as a young hippie from California, is they have bought up most of the media companies.  The New York Times is a corporation, and they bought Channel 4 in Oklahoma City in the aftermath of all this, and they went woke before anybody knew what it was.  I have seen the same thing happen in Cincinnati with the Enquirer bought by Gannett, the same company running USA Today.  Jayna quit her job at that station after the corporate takeover, and there was a court battle over the evidence she had collected on the Oklahoma City bombing.  Which she eventually won, but six or seven years later, nobody cared or remembered.  The world had moved on.  They built a memorial there in Oklahoma City, just like in New York.  People mourned for the losses but never punished the perpetrators.  They lived in terrorist cells around the world funded by a CIA that has no civilian oversight and is primarily funded by the illegal drug trade across the globe, and they are desperate to keep Trump out of the White House.  So they found a Lily White in Mathew Crooks to kill Trump.  They tried to assassinate another president so they could control the White House through terrorism and political radicalism, which is the complete platform of the Communist Harris campaign.  But they missed Trump, and now they are exposed in ways they are unprepared to deal with.

The Phantom Menace of Jack Smith: Yes, you can indict a ham sandwich

It’s a question that comes up all the time, especially in regard to the federal prosecutor and United Nations lap dog, Jack Smith: can you indict a ham sandwich?  Well, I have much to say on this topic from many perspectives.  Recently, I received a card in the mail to report to jury duty.  So I went on the day it indicated and sat in a courtroom with about 100 other people.  I happened to know a lot of the people putting the whole thing on, and we had some discussions beforehand about what was happening and what everyone expected.  I went to court expecting the judge to let me go because honestly, my life is too busy for these kinds of things.  But during a conversation, I got a good measure of just how vital the grand jury was.  I had many questions about what happens on that side of the legal profession.  All the judge needed were 15 volunteers; they needed nine jury members, and the rest alternants, in case someone couldn’t attend one day, would be called in as a reserve for the proceedings.  During that process, I was made the foreman, which meant you had to swear everyone in and put your name on all the indictments and other paperwork that would be generated during the process.  Out of those 100 people, there were only 15 volunteers who put their hand up to commit to several weeks of grand jury activity.  The judge had a way of getting 15 jurors out of that group of 100.  But he had just enough volunteers, so he let everyone else go, much to their relief.  Throughout the process, the prosecutor, all the assistants, and everyone in the Butler County Courthouse went out of their way to make everyone feel important.  But a thin veil here took me a few days to sort through.  In that sorting, I learned a lot about our court system, which would allow people like Jack Smith to take advantage of it and make a weapon out of the law for pure political activism.  And to answer the question, yes, you can indict a ham sandwich.

I like Michael Gmoser, the Butler County Prosecutor, and all his assistant prosecutors, and I found things I liked about them all.  I would say that Butler County, Ohio, has a lot of good people working in it, especially in the criminal justice system.  We have an affluent county with many people in it, so we can afford to have jobs for the right people who want to do those jobs.  It’s not like the prosecutor’s office has a bunch of losers like Jack Smith working at it or the other radicals who have presented legal cases against President Trump.  The Butler County prosecutors were all good and engaging as if they wanted to do their jobs and work with a grand jury to put cases in a courtroom before a judge through the indictment process.  But the problem quickly presented itself, and I asked many questions to flush it all out.  The purpose of a grand jury is to provide civilian oversight over the government in the traditions of the American Constitution, which is to preserve the individual rights of people not proven guilty yet by the evidence presented to the court.  It was the grand jury’s job to ensure the government didn’t get out of control.  Now I know that Michael Gmoser believes in that process, politically and practically.  I see many politically active people attached to this law and order process believe the same thing.  But in the trenches of everyday activity, between the prosecutors and the cops working the streets, there is a lot of tired sentiment toward the process that is well deserved.

A grand jury is just a bunch of everyday people who suddenly have to jump into this legal world with people that work every day in that world and know their business.  A prosecutor or assistant can present just about anything they want to a grand jury, and the civilian oversight doesn’t know better than to scrutinize what the evidence tells them about the state’s revised code.  In my particular grand jury, we had all volunteers who wanted to be there, so we had engaged people who asked a lot of questions. When the door was closed for deliberations, we had good debates on the merits of the cases.  To ensure that the process went better, I went out and bought the legal book that the prosecutors were using so that we could flush out the crimes with accurate definitions in context.  And I would say our group was optimal because it had very engaged jurors.  If a judge had to drag people, kicking, and screaming to form a jury pool, as they often do, then the process for the prosecutors would be straightforward: have a jury rubber stamp their recommendations, which was the case in the cases against Trump.  A jury without much experience in law, or even a curiosity to get to know some law in a short grand jury gathering, will be entirely at the mercy of prosecutors who use the process of civilian oversight to impose government overreach against an unsuspecting public filled with lazy people who want to get back to watching television at home. 

So, for much of the summer, I had my criminal law handbook, and I have marked hundreds of laws that I think should be enforced but aren’t because the legal process works against justice by lots of invisible strings that have seeped into our society from a variety of scandalous characters over a vast period.  In Butler County, the prosecutors, as I said, are mostly good.  But in a community with fewer good characters, this process could quickly become a runaway train toward the slippery slopes of corruption. Not enough people know civics, and the prosecutors can manipulate them at will.  Looking through my book on criminal law, I see that if I were a prosecutor, I could prosecute thousands of laws on just about anybody on any given day.  And suppose I had to present evidence to a jury to overcome a defense attorney. In that case, I am sure I could do it successfully on almost anything, including prosecuting a ham sandwich.  The whole process opened my eyes to many more significant problems, but I am very grateful at this stage in my life to have had this experience.  Because it’s one thing to wonder about, it’s quite another to see it for yourself, and in my tenure, I learned a lot of valuable information that moved from the speculation category into fact.  I would say that being on a grand jury is one of the most important things a person could do in their community life.  It’s very much needed.  But it requires even more people to take that job very seriously because many lives depend on it to be done well.  But there are a lot of characters working now in criminal justice who do know how to take advantage of ordinary people on a jury and who don’t know which way is up or down.  And a slick, progressive prosecutor could easily have their way with such people.  In the case of Jack Smith, that makes him even more dangerous in my book, now that I’ve seen the process up close, and with the doors closed for weeks at a time.  I left my experience very proud of the work that was going on in Butler County, Ohio.  However, on a larger scale, these notions of United Nations world courts and Jack Smith’s role in them, openly working against our Constitution to subvert it for some globalist objective, became all too clear.  And for me, perhaps it was just the right thing at the right time to uncover this phantom menace while we still can.

Mental Health and Crime: Why what Jack Smith is doing is treason and sedition as viewed from Jolly’s Drive-In

I think the best thing that could have happened to me, given my unique role in life, is that I had an opportunity over the summer of 2024 to be the foreman for a grand jury in my community, and during that tenure of many weeks of service, I learned things from an essential perspective.  Before that experience, I had a very high exposure rate to the legal profession, so the neutrality of a grand jury experience where you get to interview a lot of law enforcement and get to know them from a civilian oversight position and speak with prosecutors over many days and lots of hours every day, I feel I have an excellent grasp on several important issues regarding our law and order society.  And I can speak on this federal case with Jack Smith and these new charges he has come up with from the perspective of a prosecutor for the United Nations, and now trying to impose some anti-free speech mess to President Trump with much more authority.  Not that there was any doubt, but now I know for sure that what Smith is doing is treason and sedition, and openly using a grand jury in Washington D.C. to attempt case law from a legal perspective that is anti-Constitutional.  That is why we have civilian oversight and grand juries: to keep people like Jack Smith from abusing the law the way he has been.  But grand juries are made up of people who do not have much exposure to the law, and I’ve now seen firsthand how that process works very intimately; I can see how these prosecutors play the game, and that is undoubtedly what Jack Smith is doing, and the others who have attacked Trump through legal lawfare.  What he has done, and what the general state of our legal society has experienced, is intolerable and worth the kind of civilian oversight that has been needed for far too long.  No United Nations court will rule over an American court, which Jack Smith and other progressives assume will be the case.  And I know how to fight this fight better than ever before, which, to say the least, what they have been doing will not be permitted.

In that experience, as a foreman on a grand jury, I referred to a clear pattern that has emerged in the background of the foundations of our entire society, indicating what we must do to conduct a proper civilization.  Also, uniquely for a person like me, I travel a lot and speak to people from all over the world daily and weekly.  As I said, some of my kids are returning from Europe, where they have been visiting and sending pictures daily; that is usual for my family.  So, talking about cultures and how they do things in other places is not unusual.  I do not live in some social bubble of Appalachia in Hamilton, Ohio, where I only understand regional concerns, such as how long in the year will Jolly’s Drive-In be open, the little root beer stand that sits at the entrance to the city of Hamilton on Rt. 4.  Rather, I did go and get a footlong there the other day and had a friendly root beer while I listened to the news on the radio from around the world and let me tell you, that was sheer Heaven.  I know Heaven exists because of experiences like that.  But regarding perspective, I have plenty of it and can say with authority that the biggest problem in our criminal justice system is our level of sanity and how people from around the world are using social pressure to challenge people’s sanity into committing crimes that then benefit their social narrative with the specific strategy of toppling our nation from within. 

As I was eating that Jolly’s footlong and thinking about all the cases from my personal grand jury experience just a mile or so down the road at the courthouse, where I have now become all too familiar, most of the cases I had for consideration involved some level of insanity that reminded me of the fantastic board game Arkham Horror that I have referred to in the past.  Unlike a game like Monopoly or Life, Arkham Horror deals with sanity points.  As you start the game, you are given five brain tokens representing your mental health.  And as you experience tragedy throughout the game, you lose those brains.  When you no longer have any brain tokens, you are then considered insane and have to be committed to a mental institution.  I can say that this isn’t just a game in Arkham Horror; this is a deliberate strategy that the enemies of America have purposely imposed upon us as a country for the purposeful dismantling of it.  And you can see it clearly, if you know what to look for, in the charges Jack Smith is attempting to hang on the neck of President Trump.  Of course, it won’t work; there is nothing Constitutional about anything Jack Smith and the other prosecutors are doing to President Trump that is even remotely legal.  But their strategy isn’t in case law but in pushing society toward a level of insanity that makes a United Nations overthrow of our entire American legal system a strategic enterprise rooted in blatant treason and sedition. 

To fix many of the problems I heard from the perspective of a grand jury would be not just to commit ourselves to improved police coverage or jail space to put all the criminals but to deal with the social conditions that are causing so many people to lose their sanity.  Not that any of that explains criminal conduct; everyone has an obligation to the maintenance of their own mental health. Most of the cases I heard on a grand jury trace back to sanity maintenance, and many people who find themselves in criminal conduct are dealing with sanity problems.  Maybe they had lousy family experiences or are biologically disposed toward poor mental health.  However, there are many ways that humans need conditions to maintain their sanity, ultimately creating a much better society with much less crime.  But we have progressive social elements that are purposely trying to cause mental depletion to overload our criminal justice system and, in the end, topple the United States as a sovereign nation.  Where before, I might have just speculated on such a thought. I am sure it is happening now, and I understand how it occurs.  So, the solution to better mental health is what we need to think about as a society.   The movies we watch, the food we eat, the way we raise our families, and what values we have.  You can’t be a reckless person hell-bent on self-destruction and have many people who love you go through a busted-up life and expect everything to come out well.  We must all maintain our sanity points with care and understand how we impact other people in that process if we want a good, legal society.  But there are real bad guys, like Jack Smith, who are globalists and have embedded themselves in our highest levels of the legal profession, and they want to topple our legal system from a captured asset perspective.  After weeks of serving on a grand jury, it’s pretty straightforward and made more apparent while eating a footlong at Jolly’s Drive-In in Hamilton, Ohio.  Much of the social insanity we have been dealing with is a purposeful attack on our nation, and it is time we treat it that way and punish the real villains who think they have immunity as sovereigns of the United Nations and can’t be touched by domestic, American law.  They have another thing coming.

The Police of Butler County, Ohio: One of the most important jobs in the world

Many excellent experiences came from my grand jury tenure during the summer of 2024.  As the foreman, I had the additional benefit of swearing in all the witnesses, and because of that, I was able to get to know a lot of the police officers of Butler County, Ohio, and pick up on a few trends that are not so obvious unless you get a chance to talk to a lot of them at the same time.  I’ve known a lot of cops in the past, but it’s a different perspective when they are in their professional capacity and providing evidence and testimony under oath.  And there’s that radical concept again, an “oath” where a person’s integrity is weighed against the judgment of eternity and God’s wrath.  Without that, what worth is a swearing-in?  After doing it hundreds of times now, it made it pretty clear to me that the true value of our culture resides in the ability to derive honesty out of a temptation to provide fiction.  Yet, it was good to see police officers from all different backgrounds and working shifts show who they really are, and in the case of Butler County, I felt a lot of pride seeing that admirable traits among them were not unusual.  My feelings about police don’t mean that we can spend infinite amounts of money on their jobs through police levies and other increased taxes.  If society throws its values into bed with the teaching profession, I’ll have to take a pass because they are different.  Police work is dangerous and complicated.  It takes a special kind of person to do it.  Many would say that is the same argument for public school teachers, but I wouldn’t.  I value police in a much different way than teachers.  There are alternatives to public schools that can provide a child with a much better education method.  But with police, if you don’t have them, and good police at that, then society quickly drops into the gutter as the riff-raff becomes emboldened and strives to consume society with crime.

One undeniable thing is that most of the police officers I met in Butler County, Ohio, were under thirty and had a lot of tattoos, especially on their arms.  That was surprising, as it’s an obvious war code among cops, even with women.  All of them spoke very well while providing testimony.  People who want to be cops are wired differently; we should be thankful they are.  Whatever their private behavior has been when they let their hair down and converse among friends, their professional demeanor is more than respectable, and it gives hope that with such people maintaining that thin blue line, there is hope for social reform that is productive, normally when we experience police officers, it’s under some sort of tragedy.  It’s probably under the circumstances of one of the worst things to ever happen to us, even if it’s a minor traffic infraction.  But from the perspective of a grand jury, where the top sentiments of law and order are presented to be reviewed by civilian oversight, the value of a reasonable police force is unmistakably apparent.  You can appreciate that the world is much better because we have law enforcement as a job.  Without law enforcement, who is there to ensure a community’s laws are followed?  From the legislature that writes the law under civilian elections and representation to the prosecutor’s office, which has to take legal infractions and prosecute them in court.  Without the police there to do the work and separate the lawbreakers from the multitudes trying to function freely under the rule of law, chaos is quickly the outcome. 

I felt sorry for many police officers I heard that presented testimony and evidence.  The legal system has become a very fussy occupation due to an abundance of lawyers and political pressures that have migrated into the Bar Association, which is tied to many hostile political forces.  Police officers put themselves at risk when engaging with a public on the fringes of sanity and social order.  And under those conditions, they (the police) have to tiptoe around the individual rights of every citizen when it would be much easier to bust people because you know they are up to no good.  It’s a slippery slope in how evidence and cases go to court, and if a police officer slips up while collecting and witnessing proof, the case will be tossed out by a prosecutor’s office for lack of evidence.  Most prosecutors are people who get jaded about what can survive a jury trial, and crafty con artists’ defense attorneys will punch holes into any evidence gathered, even if it’s obvious.  I was able to deal with some cases where the police were put in danger of functioning as cops, only to have the prosecutors dispute how the evidence collected was submitted for further processing.  Maybe there was a glitch in the body cam footage. Perhaps the police officer didn’t think to pull the street cameras that verified a timestamp on criminal activity.  You quickly get a sense that there is a lot of crime out there, but the only stuff that makes it to a grand jury and the result of a lot of police work is the terrible cases where the evidence is obvious. 

I was able to meet a lot of investigators as well, people who are older and have been around a while.  A pattern quickly emerges: anybody over 40 is a bit tired; they have presented evidence to many prosecutors over the years, and there is a lot of civilian oversight that often has a lot of trouble separating emotion from the law.  And they are skeptical of the process. Yet they are very well-spoken and generally love the idea of an American Constitution protecting individual rights.  But, from their perspective, at what expense are those rights protected?  Why should a child molester, a drug dealer, or a murderer be given individual rights when it is obvious to the officer that people are up to no good?  People who don’t respect their authority should be punished. When people don’t respect the rule of police, additional charges of failure to respect a lawful investigation can put the case center stage. A prosecutor will be reluctant to move a case forward because it is obvious the police officer was upset at the lack of respect they were getting while interacting with the criminal community.  After seeing all that, I was glad to see we had enough people in society who wanted to do the job because it was crucial.  It may not pay that much, and they work many erratic hours.  And you don’t see too many old cops on the beat these days because it’s a young person’s game.  It takes a lot of tenacity not to become disgruntled with the process.  But it is a process we need, and police are crucial to maintaining a civil society.  And I can say now that I’ve met so many of them in Butler County, Ohio, that we have a lot of good ones.  And I am glad they do what they do.

Trump is the Best Salesman in the World: Unless the President is back in the White House, people will not accept the results of the election

So, to answer the question that I have been asked by many people, including people who work on the inside of several campaigns, including Trump’s, what can Trump do to beat the machine?  How does he answer the campaign of keep away that Harris is playing, knowing that the election is rigged and that the media is in the tank for the Democrats?  Should Trump put together the old 2016 team?  How should he answer the challenge, assuming free elections are still possible?  I would add to all that the essential problem is that the Deep State cannot afford to lose this election.  And what they are doing with Kamala is not enough to win.  The polling with rigged elements is trying to keep it close, but in reality, it’s not close.  I think Trump could walk to the finish line doing nothing and win this election.  But what can be done by Trump to help ensure he can win?  Well, my response is to dig back to his roots, at the Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale, and turn all the negatives into positives.  Kamala Harris is such an evil character who is trying to be overtly positive; their only option since they have such a terrible record comes out as phony.  And people are naturally repulsed by her.  The goal of the bad guys is to try and make it look close so they can cheat, which Merrick Garland has already started alluding to.  Unless it’s Trump winning the White House, people are not going to accept the results of this government-counted election where the Deep State is trying to protect itself from the massive reforms that are coming, whether they like it or not.  Those reforms will happen through peace, preferably an election, or force.  But they will happen.  The Deep State of global communism, which Kamala Harris represents, is only hanging on by a thread at this point.  People are not choosing them by default as they have in the past.  Now, people are on to the game.

Trump is one of the best salespeople in the world and is certainly the best in terms of his massive social brand.  When people talk about Trump as a con man and not an astute businessman, they are talking about his ability, which is a skill, to turn negatives into positives.  One thing that is very evident in Trump’s books, which I have collected for years, especially these new ones, such as Our Journey Together from Winning Team Publishing and this new one coming out, Save America, is the quality of everything that Trump does.  The Trump Organization, well before they were ever in politics, knew how to sell a good experience, which showed in their products.  Going through some of those Trump books recently, mainly Our Journey Together, sells American exceptionalism independently.  Trump doesn’t have to work very hard at it.  What this election will come down to, as they usually do, is the economy.  Do people have money to work with? In this case, everyone attached to the Biden administration in some way or another has been suppressing a depression, not just a recession.  Driving down gas prices here at the last minute isn’t enough to put juice back into people’s pockets.  The cost of inflation has already done the damage, and there is no way to hide it from people.  When it comes to voting, people want a change primarily due to money and the lack of it in people’s pockets. 

Trump knows how to sell the brand of a better America through the Power of Positive Thinking.  He doesn’t have to answer Kamala Harris on anything.  Trump has set the stage and controls the message, which are all the key points any campaign wants.  The only question remains whether we can still choose representatives through our elections.  Trump knows the key to that is too big to rig approach where even with the manipulations of voting machine data and drop box stuffing, people know how they voted and they aren’t going to put up with a spike in the middle of the night of Biden drops while people were sleeping, then say, “presto, Biden won,” as they continued to count for weeks after that.  It’s kind of the situation at the end of Beetlejuice where he stole the number for the line wait from the shrunken head witch doctor.  Only for the doctor to notice and shrink Beetlejuice’s own head.  The criminal elements of our government do think we are all stupid, and like that Beetlejuice character, they are going to try to take advantage of us any way they think they can get by with.  But people are now looking out for the trouble in ways they never have before.  So, Trump doesn’t need to run a negative campaign.  He has his core base, and they get it.  Trump doesn’t need to be negative in any way possible.  He does not need to play the victim card.  All he needs to do is peel away the middle grounders, which is happening already with Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy, known democrats who are now joining Trump for a big-tent Republican Party. 

I am looking forward to Trump’s new book Save America, which features him being shot in the head on the cover and pumping his fist to the sky in defiance with blood running down his face, and it comes out on the first of September 2024.  As I said, Trump and his team understand what they are doing, and these books during his presidency are very high quality and have an extremely positive message.  These are the same Trumps that had Melania selling jewelry on late-night infomercials before any of them got involved in politics.  Selling a positive message as to how America can be Great Again is something they know how to do.  These books alone will not put Trump over the top in this election.  Melania Trump has a book coming out in October, which I will undoubtedly be one of the first to get and read, and I think it will sell her in a way she doesn’t usually give people access to.   What’s happening here is that Democrats who see the writing on the wall, such as Musk and Kennedy, are stepping toward Trump, as many others are also.  This is what was happening to the Trump administration during its last days before the Deep State launched COVID-19 to stop the bleeding.  Democrats were stepping over and joining Trump’s positive message.  So, Covid was released as a bioweapon.  Hey, don’t take my word for it; Bobby Kennedy and Rand Paul will tell you all about it.  It was the biggest crime in the world’s history, and many people still have to pay for it.  But Trump doesn’t need to cry and whine about it.  He has to stay positive, and that will make it too big for the bad guys to rig this election.   I didn’t just start loving Democrats, but we’re looking at a big picture here, and Trump gets it.  It’s in his books that he is bringing America together again no matter what the skin color, sex, or political affiliation is.  And it’s all about the Power of Positive Thinking.  The platform is in Trump’s books.  People are jumping on for their own self-preservation.  This is something Kamala Harris and her Deep State controllers could never do with any amount of money and propped up polling if they wanted to.  They just can’t, and people know it, which is why Trump is poised to win, even beyond the controls of cheating that are looming in the background.

Roger Reynolds is Found Not Guilty Again: But What’s Next, managing a big tent party

Yes, I am happy that the Ohio Supreme Court declined the state’s request to appeal former Butler County auditor Roger Reynolds’ appeal of the utterly unfair conviction thrown his way for the improper interest in a government contract.  What it all amounted to was a political squabble imposed on Reynolds, who was doing a great job as an auditor, and despite the charges tossed against him, he was still popularly elected.  However, while there was a conviction initially in court that had to be overturned, Roger Reynolds had to resign from his position.  It looked like he might have had to spend jail time over the charge at that time.  But Roger won his appeal, as I said he would.  I knew the facts of the case and the personalities involved, and my thoughts toward Roger’s innocence never wavered.  And neither did our mutual friend Nancy Nix, who had been treasurer and resigned from her position to fill the auditor position, being left open by Roger as he dealt with all these legal issues.  Nancy came to court most days while Roger was going through his ordeal to support her friend.  Her first thought about the whole matter was to ensure that the good policies utilized for the county’s people under Roger’s direction could be maintained in his honor, which she has done.  However, Nancy Nix is a good person for that job in her own right, and now, some time has passed since she has been doing the auditor job very well.  Her old treasurer’s job has been filled by another person doing an excellent job also.  Butler County, Ohio, is one of the few places in the world where the budget operates in the black, above water.   And that is a trend we want to continue now that Roger can serve again in a public office.  The most important thing is the quality of the government given to the people who need it and the viability of the big tent party of the Butler County GOP. 

I have been reminded how much I have liked Sheriff Jones recently, as we have talked on several occasions.  We’ve been on opposite sides on several issues, most recently this whole prosecution of Roger Reynolds, which cost Reynolds a lot of money and lost reputation over what I would consider a purely political issue that happens in the background more than it should.  It’s tough to run races in primaries and between presidential years, where a party tends to come together nicely if there is a strong personality at the top of the ticket.  And a few years ago, when the Butler County GOP was going through an identity crisis, nobody knew what was going to happen to Trump, if he’d even be back; a lot of Republicans strayed back to their corners of influence and placed their bets toward the political direction they thought would set priorities.  So everyone entered a kind of primary mode where Republicans battled Republicans for public attention, and brand damage to those candidates and the party in general occurred and, at times, got out of control.  Well, I knew where the politics were going, and I said so all along, and it’s shaping up just as I thought and said it would.  I wish more people listened.  But here we are, and people did what they did to each other. I want everyone to thrive.  I was happy to hear that Roger’s appeal on his conviction was held up under Supreme Court scrutiny.  I am proud and glad that Nancy Nix has been running Butler County as an auditor.  And I was thrilled to see Sheriff Jones with Hulk Hogan at the Liberty Township Kroger, bringing a lot of joy to people in Butler County who desperately needed it. 

The can was kicked down the road for a long time, and Nancy has had to deal with the hard stuff.

While all this was happening, I watched the speech at the Trump rally in Arizona, where Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed Trump in what I thought was a jaw-dropping speech.  But, again, I called that one almost two to three years ago when nobody in the nation saw that coming.  (I did!)  And I was enormously proud of Trump, who just survived an assassin’s bullet just a few weeks ago, making the Republican Party such a big tent that even an ultra-liberal Bobby Kennedy Jr could join our fight for what’s right.  Because I do like Bobby Kennedy, even though my typical position on Democrats is to destroy them, hook, line, and sinker.  Bobby Kennedy would be great for Trump’s administration in many ways, and it took guts to join Trump and for Trump to open up that tent to accommodate him.  Polling-wise, Trump didn’t need to.  However, Trump did what was best for the party and sought to bring in as many people as possible who could fit into the GOP tent, which is what the game should be about.  Thinking of a big tent, I couldn’t help but think of Nancy Nix, who I have watched go through the same challenge in Butler County.  It is hard to deal with so many strong personalities and be sincere to them all.  And while Roger was going through his horrible ordeal, Nancy never left his side.  She was genuinely loyal when, politically, it would have been better for her not to be.  It took real guts and sincerity. 

So what happens now, with Roger Reynolds able to run for public office again, is that he wants to be vindicated and restore his name to righteousness.  And I have wanted to see that happen for several years now.  I want to help him do that personally.  As I have talked to everyone about these issues privately, to me, it comes out as the kind of family scabbles that have to be resolved ahead of a Thanksgiving dinner where everyone is arguing about the football teams playing between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers, who is better, who should go to the playoffs, and which team will win that day.  It’s all the NFL as far as I’m concerned, and nobody should try to kill each other over the outcome.  But those kinds of conversations get heated when people start arguing, especially when millions of dollars are at stake and the personal reputations of so many people.  Ultimately, what matters in politics is that people get good government from people willing to do the job.  I see a path for Roger going forward, but he can’t reset the table and have Nancy move back to the treasurer job, and he just slides back into his old auditor job.  There must be a primary process where he could challenge Nancy for that seat in the next term.  The people of Butler County are getting excellent work out of that auditor position, and Nancy made a productive tag team effort to make sure they didn’t miss a beat.  But we don’t need more personal destruction, especially with the great opportunities coming from a second Trump term.  I would encourage everyone to look at the big picture and play the cards they have, and not the ones you wished you had.  Play the hand you’re dealt and do good things with them.  And in the scheme of things, I love Nancy Nix.  Especially when things are not hunky dory, Nancy has shown that she is a good person even when it doesn’t pay to be, and I like that in people.  In my way of thinking, she is the kind of person around whom you build a political party.  Everyone needs to find their way to the kitchen table she sets and get along for the good of Butler County, Ohio, and an excellent Republican Party that people can and should be very proud of.  And it would be my advice not to fall in love with job titles.  But in the good work that needs to be done, no matter what it is.

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 Epic Vision of George Lang: What government can and do best

The Country Music Festival at the Voice of America Park in West Chester, Ohio, in August of 2024, turned out well.  Obviously, many people had a lot of fun, and it was a very positive experience for tens of thousands of people.  I have a special relationship with that park that goes back a long way because of Senator George Lang, which is worth discussing.  I appreciated the use of that particular park for a lot of sentimental reasons, and it was a very nice evening on the Friday night that Jason Aldean and other country music acts were performing from the vantage point of the Butler County GOP tent.  I had a rare moment to consider that all was right in the world as I looked out over the vast crowd enjoying themselves under a setting sun and a wonderful evening under the stars as the moon peaked out and hung in the sky to listen to the music.  I reflected on similar events around the country, and few could come close to the benefits of the VOA Park in West Chester, Ohio, because of its amenities and commercial access to the outside world.  It’s a huge space to set up something like that Country Music Festival, but still close to the highway and major commercial enterprises, complete with double lane roads and a well-managed civilian population.  I considered it the best that a society could offer and was a great example of what the world everywhere should be like.  But what a lot of people don’t know is the history of the park, and I’m not talking about its location being the site of the Voice of America, which would broadcast anti-communist propaganda to every corner of the world and bring down many authoritarian regimes.  Hitler referred to the site as the Cincinnati Liars because of the effectiveness of the VOA broadcasting station, which is still there and was part of the festival environment all these years later.  It was an excellent place to have a nice night for a community that deserves nice things to happen to it.  It’s been a rough couple of years, so there were plenty of reasons to celebrate. 

One thing about my life is that there aren’t many moments to enjoy a few hours of anything.  Usually, I have packed into every moment of every day many lifetimes of events.  So I don’t leave much time to enjoy life for a few hours.  But under the invite of George Lang and his lovely wife Debbie, my wife and I had a nice date night at the Country Music Festival under the added comforts of the Butler County Republican Party tent that was right off the main stage and had a great view of all the events of the weekend.  Many people tell me that I’m burning the candle at both ends and that I should take more time to do things like that, which I wouldn’t have done without the invite.  But I don’t think so. I do what I do, and I enjoy doing it, including long days of work where my life has a lot going on.  While my wife could complain, she doesn’t.  She understands.  But with all that said, the chance to take a deep breath and have some well-catered food in an air-conditioned tent with so many friends was very well received by my family. 

And speaking about George Lang, as I’ve said before, well, after he’s done with politics, I will likely still be friends with him and his wife.  We’ve all known each other for many years now, starting during his trial, where he was a target of Democrat activism as they were making a move to harm the GOP in Butler County over essentially a turf war.  Can you indict a ham sandwich in grand juries?  Yes, I have much experience with that side of the fence now and will have much to say about it.  Regardless, I thought what Democrats tried to do to George Lang over his relationship with the future Speaker of the House, John Boehner, at that time was horrible.  It was a window into what the courts have been trying to do to Trump now; only George was an early victim of it, and it was scary as he went through it in court.  I tend to like to help people like that in any way I can when they are being picked on by some cruel elements of the outside world, which, at this point, I have done for many people over the years.  But with George and his family, we have stayed friends ever since and have developed some great respect over a long period.  All this occurred when George was a trustee in West Chester before he ever went to Columbus as a state representative.  So, I remember the conditions that helped build the foundation for the VOA Park because the nice park where the Country Music Festival was happening was not always there. 

The decision to let Metoparks manage the property started with George Lang as a trustee, who had in mind a minimal government approach, which is why that particular park is so unique in the world. Typically, a large park with such a significant footprint in the community would be run by the city nearest it.  But George and several other local politicians have fought to keep West Chester as big as it is, as small of a government as it can be, which is a lesson that every community, not just in America, should learn from.  As George and I watched the setting sun over the festivities of that evening and remembered all the years, I had to remind him of his role in all this from a policy standpoint.  If he weren’t such a small government guy, the VOA Park would be another over-managed failure.  However, the decision to let the best at park maintenance manage the park paved the way for its current use.  Which, for me, is a continuation of it being the Voice of America.  I run this blog site essentially from there as a tip of the hat to its historic use as the Voice of America.  I have written many millions of words and read many, many books from that park over the years because it’s where I like to visit to get my thoughts about lofty concepts worked out.  Essentially, that’s because of my friendship with George and his wife, knowing the backstory of the park and how it could only exist with a small government approach to big things.  And that’s what made that Country Music Festival so unusual, something you could drive all over the country and not see so well done as it was in West Chester, Ohio, one of the best places to live anywhere.  And that’s not just me saying that.  It’s known throughout the real estate world.  And that is because it has stayed a small government and resisted the temptation to become a city with mayors and city council members screwing everything up with too much bureaucracy.  It took vision to have the view of government that George Lang has expressed, and what a lot of people don’t know is that his epic vision that helped create that magnificent park is being applied to the state of Ohio right now in ways that will benefit it for many decades to come.  For all those reasons and more, being at that festival that evening, I could only think of how proud I am of him and all the excellent work that goes on behind the scenes that nobody will ever know or understand.  But that ultimately makes the world a much, much, better place.  Good government is the kind of government you never see, but that makes all the possibilities of human existence happen under its power by removing the barriers that would otherwise prevent it.  George Lang is a master of that, and many millions of people are enjoying the efforts he has put forward for their benefit, which was on full display at the Country Music Festival at the VOA Park in West Chester, Ohio, during the exciting year of 2024.

Kamala the Communist: Why the radical left-leaning lunatic can’t answer questions from the media

Yes, Kamala Harris is a communist by all definitions that communists are.  Just because they call themselves something else, doesn’t mean that they aren’t what they are.  A child molester is not a benefactor to children.  They are criminals who rob children of their innocence.  And communists are leeches off economic systems that destroy wealth and opportunity from free people.  And the more people learn about Kamala Harris, a radical politician from California who, like many of them from that region of the world, adopted far-left China policies years ago to the detriment of many people.  And now they want to export their tyranny to the rest of the country instead of just Commie California.  For many years, we have fought communism in the United States, and supposedly, our FBI and CIA have been hard at work trying to protect the United States from the jealous motivations of communist parties around the world.  But the more we have learned about actual history and real terrorist organizations, we find out that many in our government have been opening the door to the house, letting communist sneak into our country by disguising their intentions until it was too late.  And Kamala Harris is just that kind of created politician.  Looking back on it now, it seems like many people in the Democrat party were in on the scandal which is how communism came into our country in the first place, hiding behind what they pretended was their outrage over the McCarthy hearings.  However, as it turned out, Joseph McCarthy was more than correct.  If anything, he didn’t do enough to uncover the secret menace of communism seeping into America.  But now we all know and can see it clearly.  They have been plotting the demise of Joe Biden all along and planned to put Kamala Harris and her communist governor from Minnesota, Tim Walz, into contention at the last minute, hoping nobody would have time to understand what they were doing.  And now people are learning what I’ve been saying all along.  These are outright communists and an open attack against the American way of life.

Did you notice how many of these modern communists are school teachers?  Think about that for a second: what makes people who are inclined to teach children sympathize with communism?  Tim Walz, for example, was a school teacher.  So is “Dr.” Jill Biden.  Communism and the teaching profession are a bad combo, but when we study the patterns of left-leaning teachers in all our public schools, we find many of them are outright communist sympathizers and likely would have a Harris sign in their yards.  That’s what we are dealing with; it didn’t happen overnight. Instead, many modern people probably don’t even know the difference; they have grown up trusting their teachers with a revised history given to them by this Trojan Horse communist invasion, starting with California, then spreading to the rest of the country behind victimization politics over a long period.  But I was alive before they learned to conceal their motives so carefully.  I remember when the Berlin Wall was up, and its politics were on the nightly news.  I also remember Cuba, how the Castro brothers took over a prospering country and turned it into a hell hole right off the coast of America.  It was a global military objective, and many of our people in America helped it destroy our economy and way of life from the inside out.  People these days taught by communists to conceal their natural history wouldn’t know better.  But I happened to have been alive and remember how it was.

East Berlin was set up after World War II to accommodate the Soviets, who were communists.  So, a similar political conflict between West Berlin and East Berlin during the 80s highlighted the global conflict poised to begin at any time.  People wanting to flee to the freedom of West Berlin were shot and killed for trying to get to freedom, just as people fled Cuba trying to get away from the Castro communism there.  By the way, Barack Obama and even Biden are very friendly with the Castro’s.  Or they were, anyway.  When we hear so much about Nelson Mandela in South Africa, he was a communist.  When we hear about China, it’s all communist.  When we hear about the Palestinians, they are all Marxists, which is worse than communism.  The Iranian revolution was all Marxist.  And instead of Europe turning to the West, as in the example of West Berlin, they turned to socialism, as represented by the modern European Union.  Of course, the United Nations is handled by known socialists.  An open socialist runs Canada.  So is Mexico.  They don’t talk about that on the nightly news, but Kamala Harris is the candidate for the Marxist global enterprise.  East Berlin was their mode of operation, clearly showing their conflict with the rest of the world.  So, of course, the Harris campaign behaved as East Berlin did at the height of their power.  They maintained complete control of their political narrative, and part of their enforcement was to keep people from escaping their terror and learning about the outside world by climbing over the Berlin Wall to escape.

This is why Kamala Harris cannot do live events or answer media questions.  And since much of the media leans toward Marxism by nature of being leftists, they don’t want to push Kamala too hard so as not to expose her.  They all hope to see America surprised by this soft sell of communism poised by the Harris campaign for a brutal leftist takeover of the American political system.   Not to hide communism anymore but to unleash it and overtake our system and convert it over to what China has as a political system today.  When we talk about left-winged politics, we are talking about China-style communism.  It’s what our teachers teach in school, so many people think that’s the way to go.  But they have lost touch with history, with the killings at the Berlin Wall, and the significance of that wall to begin with after World War II and the Allied Powers led by the newly created United Nations divided up the spoils of Germany as represented by that city.  But they got away with it by never discussing what they were really up to.  And that’s why Kamala Harris can’t answer any questions in public.  And is also her greatest weakness.  She hopes to hide who she is by not answering questions, as do her supporters and puppet masters of global politics.  But her campaign represents nothing less than a communist insurrection.  It didn’t just start with the demise of Biden but has been brewing in the background since before Barack Obama hit the scene.  And they have been careful and manipulative.  But in 2024, out of desperation, they are making their long-planned move.  And they hope the media will be able to give them cover fire for an outright communist insurrection.  Yet their old tricks of denying that they are communists have expired.  History shows their footsteps, and they can no longer hide the truth about their movement.  But when everyone wonders why Kamala Harris can’t answer questions from the press, it’s because they are trying to sneak communism under the door, and nobody will notice until it’s too late.  But they have been discovered well in advance.

Getting Rid of the Departments of Uselessness: Neil Gorsuch’s new book and the need to get rid of too many rules and regulations

I usually don’t learn much from mainstreamers, and Niel Gorsuch from our current Supreme Court is undoubtedly a mainstream kind of guy.  When he wrote a new book that came out at the beginning of August 2024, Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law, I wasn’t sure it was worth my time.  However, I am very concerned about legal issues these days, and there aren’t too many people with better authority on that subject than Gorsuch, as he is a reasonably recent President Trump pick for the Supreme Court.  So I wanted to hear what he had to say on the matter, hoping to get some unusual perspective because of who he is.  And I was more than a little impressed with Gorsuch’s book.    He is bringing up an important point that I think is the key to the future for at least a decade or two, and that is the problem of over-regulation—a society with too many rules.  I would say that I have very intimate knowledge of regulatory environments; at this rate, they threaten to collapse society, not help it flourish.  I think the rule of law is crucial to human happiness and invention.  But the environment we have these days is a runaway train of bureaucratic lunacy that is bringing great harm to our society.  And Neil Gorsuch gets it, even for a mainstreamer.  I define mainstreamers as those who care about sports scores at BW3s.  Or are more concerned with taking their kids to soccer practice than the strategic future of human civilization.  Usually, mainstreamers don’t have much to say that I think is interesting, and I don’t spend much time talking to them.  I may be nice to them, but they have little to offer me.  I consume vast amounts of information every week, and usually, mainstreamers are too far behind the learning curve to be engaging in any way to me. 

However, this topic of over-regulation is good, and being a mainstreamer is a benefit in this case because it lets me know that general people are concerned about this issue, not just people on the fringe of society.  When discussing fringe people, we talk about people well outside the social norms.  The movie The Matrix refers to those types of people as Red Pillers, people who want the truth for the sake of the fact without all the mechanisms of comfort that are part of the social tapestry.  These kinds of people are more concerned with the effects of 5G information waves and how they might scramble the brain than going out of their way to be seen at little Timmy’s birthday party who happens to be a next-door neighbor of parents who just bought a new Tesla and thinks the world is coming to an end with climate change.  Many people are so worried about the dumb little things in life that they don’t have room for the big stuff, which is precisely how this horror of too much regulation came about in the first place.  We didn’t watch it grow with hands on the brakes, so now we have a society with so many laws that we are all probably breaking them just by getting out of bed in the morning.  Our legal system is supposed to be representative, where our elected officeholders create and maintain laws to serve our individual needs.  But we have ended up with many laws made by unelected bureaucrats who are personally terrified people who get through the power of government the ability to be in their minds significant, what I call the Mall Cop Syndrome. 

President Trump’s policy on regulation, which stipulated that for every new regulation created, the government had to eliminate two, was a step in the right direction. This policy was successful, and the immediate stimulation of our economy was noticeable.  The Trump years were good for our society’s growth and undoubtedly beneficial to the concept of Making America Great Again.  One of the critical features of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, is that risk is the essential ingredient to economic growth, so the kind of people who manage risk well and are very attracted to risk tend to be very successful and create the most jobs for people who are not so inclined.  So you want a society that encourages risk by those most inclined to it but limits people from becoming tyrants over others who are more mainstream and less inclined to risky lives and hazardous behavior.  You want to encourage risk, not discourage it.  And the way the government has grown over the last few decades of globalism that seeks to hide risk behind the power of ever more government expansion, then you end up with the condition we have now, which is too much law and regulation being created by too many people for all the wrong reasons.  We have too many Departments of Uselessness that need to be eliminated, defunded, and have their rules and regulations go with them into oblivion.  Because they are not suitable for us, which is the essential point of Neil Gorsuch’s book Over Ruled, we must start over with what we expect the government to do for us in many respects.  If elected representatives do not manage our rules and regulations, then we must eliminate them as a matter of practice.

We saw the attempt, which continues to be the mode of conduct from the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, to use experts to manage our society.  In the case of America, we had our Doctor Doom—Dr. Fauci regarding Covid.  Some people, mainly on the Democrat side of thinking, wanted to believe that members of the expert class could and should have our best interests in mind when they create new rules on the back of a napkin as they did with social distancing mandates, air travel restrictions, and mask-wearing policy.  And that we were all supposed to obey them without question.  The quest for power that gives members of these government agencies, such as the Department of Health, so much control over their peers was too tempting not to abuse, and we saw that nightmare scenario clearly during the COVID crisis.  The assumption was that these global experts had legislative power over our American law and order under Constitutional consideration.  When pressed through the lens of American courts, Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates seemed perplexed that people were even arguing Constitutional limits on experts-created laws we were all supposed to follow.  But of course, once challenged, all the silly rules that global bureaucrats were issuing were not Constitutionally viable, and they were losing in court, as they will continue to.  But under those policies are many hundreds of thousands of others just as ridiculous, and a lack of simplicity weighs down our court system, causing the cost of all those silly rules to rob our economy many trillions of lost revenue by lost opportunity cost.  If we want to save our society from collapsing under the weight of the timid Mall Cop types who wish to use the power of government to do what they do not dare to do themselves because they are afraid of too much risk, then we need to go in the other direction, toward deregulation as much as possible. In that case, we will massively deregulate, allowing only elected officials to create our society’s laws.  The unelected experts of the world have nearly destroyed our very existence, and now that we’ve learned our lesson, it’s time to give them something else to do.
