The Revenge of 2024 Will Be Delicious: We played by the rules, and now they will have no choice but to match it

We’re at that point where it’s time to benefit from many good decisions made under challenging circumstances.  And to pay ourselves back for sticking with the Constitution and not being drawn offside by truly malicious characters.  But we played by the rules, even in the face of massive crimes in 2020, election fraud, and the distribution for purposeful terrorism, Covid from a Wuhan lab in China that killed millions of people, we stood by due process; Trump got on his airplane after leaving the White House, and we stuck to the rule of law even though most of us knew that the law had been manipulated to benefit the cheaters.  It was rough, and we had to endure it gracefully.  It certainly was not easy.  But we had to set up this particular election year of 2024.  In the process, we have rooted out many malicious characters who would have otherwise remained hidden from our view.  What should have been Trump’s second term in office ended up being a terror that showed the world who has been running things behind the scenes because they had to show themselves to attempt to hold power.  And now that they have it, we have a real opportunity to make America great again with more than talk and campaign slogans.  But now the shoe is on the other foot.  The pendulum is swinging in the other direction.  And because we did everything right, it forced the other side to do the same, even though they knew they couldn’t afford anything but violence and chaos in protest.  Because they have cheated to stay in power, they don’t have a very deep bench, and the players they do have are all compromised beyond scrutiny.  And they won’t be able to hold up to what will happen next. 

I had to have some hard talks with many people in the cold early days of 2021 as Biden took office.  We all knew that there had been election fraud.  We had seen the precinct maps of the entire country and knew where the cheating had occurred with over counts on mail-in ballots.   You could see county by county all across the country, then there would be these sudden spikes in voter turnout and results for Biden in critical areas around metropolitan areas, such as Detroit, Phoenix, Philly, Milwaukee, and Atlanta, and everyone knew the cause.  And we watched the paid-for color revolutions before that, where leftist billionaires poured money into minority communities to inspire them to burn down buildings, desecrate historic monuments, and drive discontent all over the nation.  All this happened after the COVID lockdowns, where genuinely evil and malicious people walked into Trump’s office in the White House and urged him to shut down the entire economy to prevent the spread of COVID-19.  We were all justified in picking up arms and taking down the many criminals who had done America wrong in 2020 to steal an election and to unleash an artificial virus engineered for its task to create the opportunity for stolen power.  Many people didn’t want to see Trump leave office in those dark days but to call in the military to prevent the takeover of our country by these globalists advocating open communism, what else were we supposed to do?  It was like the communist revolution in St. Petersburg many years ago, which was now happening in America.  And our American media, including Fox News, was in on it all, and people were lost as to what to do, and they wanted to fight.

I think I stopped many small wars from breaking out that winter and it wasn’t easy.  I had to convince people to let the process play out even though I wanted to lash out myself.  Every movie and book we had ever consumed in entertainment culture told us that the only thing to do was to grab our guns and go hunting for bad guys who had infiltrated our government and to remove them violently.  But we talked against it because there was a bigger prize.  We had a perfect opportunity to exploit these losers for what they were, and we could stand by the rule of law in the face of great adversity and lead by example, which is what we did.  It was challenging and excruciating.  But we have endured it, and now here we are.  Our time for revenge is at hand, and the victory will taste delicious.  It’s our time to watch the other side wiggle in the trap they set for themselves, and there is no reason for us to feel sorry for them for what’s coming because they did it to themselves.  They can only blame themselves, the person who looks back at them in the mirror, for what they have become.  They hoped to provoke us into a mountain of mistakes, and because we didn’t take the bait, they had no choice but to play the game the same way.  And now, after all these years of treating Trump and the rest of us with every kind of abuse of the law that they could get by with, it’s time to pay for all those crimes, and no amount of crying will alleviate them from justice.  Now, they will face the same kind of decisions we had to make, but they aren’t as good as we are, so they don’t have the intellectual means to survive.  Their defeat this time around will crush them and their Marxist, globalist movement with it, and our victory will be better than if we had fought for it with guns and the points of knives. 

They will have no choice but to follow the rule of law, leave the White House, certify the election, and deal with all the policy changes Trump will make toward capitalism in the coming months.  And that is something I couldn’t have said we would have had with a typical Trump second term.  The world was on fire then, and the enemy was desperate.  And we had to play it out.  We needed these last four years to empty their weapons and expose them for what they were.  If Trump had been in the White House, it would have just been another term of a media circus.  People needed to see what Joe Biden and the gang were about, and the pressure forced them to reveal it all.  And since then, the World Economic Forum and their central bankers of doom have been exposed for the actual insurrection of our country that they had long planned and committed to.  And to hold power, they won’t be able to afford to live within the confines of the rule of law.  But they aren’t warranted to unleash their violence, which is their only means of achieving power because they don’t have any public support as a minority terrorist organization.  That is what the Democrat Party is, after all: a terrorist organization for globalists and insurrectionists who want America to be crushed off the world stage forever.  But because we didn’t take the bait, we exposed them in ways they weren’t prepared for.  And the revenge that is coming will be fantastic to witness.  We’ll achieve it because we stayed with the rule of law and did not allow ourselves to be pulled into a nation-ending battle, which we would have otherwise given them justification for violence and malice.  By sticking with the rule of law, they have no choice but to do the same, which they can’t afford to do.  It’s a wonderful paradox.

Trump is the Establishment: The old scam of making money off the government was never acceptable

This is a mystery that I thought was strange, even back in 2016.  We had an event in West Chester for Trump, and all the big players were invited, but many didn’t attend.  At the time, they were worried that John Kasich would be angry with them because he was running for president and he was from Ohio, and people thought he was going to be the guy.  I never thought Kasich would be the guy, neither Ted Cruz nor any others.  To understand why, you had to know what voters were looking for, and this was a trajectory that I remember well going back to the start of Barack Obama’s first term in 2008, after a feeble performance by John McCain.  The way Sarah Palin was treated by everyone back then started a chain reaction that led to Trump.  Another weak shot at the White House in 2012 by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan was particularly embarrassing; where they thought this high-brow approach of letting the opposition make fun of you, but that we were supposed to be like Christ and hang ourselves on a cross for crucifixion wasn’t going to cut the mustard.  People wanted to fight, and they wanted fighters in politics.  That has always been my position, and any time someone has tried to apply these woke rules to me, some social game like the rules of high school, where the popular kids wouldn’t like you if you didn’t do what they said, it hasn’t worked out well for them.  And that was the platform of the GOP before Trump, and people left that old way.  They embraced Trump as soon as possible and have not looked back ever since.  Because people just got tired of watching the Republican Party lose, and Trump promised wins, which he gave us in large amounts once elected.

And with the same understanding, I knew the Never Trumper movement would fall flat, and Paul Ryan has been at the center of that as an advisor to Fox News.  That he and his gang never understood the political base of the Republican Party, given all the resources they had to work with, is astonishing.  How could they not understand?  But they didn’t and somehow thought that if they kept putting people like Ron DeSantis out there, and Nikki Haley, people who sounded like Trump but weren’t Trump, that people would be stupid and pick who they selected for us.  They had so little understanding of what voters wanted that they didn’t see the frailty of their premise.   And I would talk to people about Trump and tell them that Trump would be the guy many times over the last three years, and people didn’t see it.  I told them people were tired of this shell game, where politicians said one thing to the public but became members of the uni-party as soon as they were elected; that wouldn’t cut it anymore.  It never did.  The problem was that people trusted in the past, but now that they’ve been let down, they were looking for representatives who would fight on their behalf against a system obviously rigged to take power and get rich off the results.  People were sick of it and Trump offered himself as that guy to fix it.  And in 2016, it was just him against the world, and a few people joined the fight early on to help him.  I was one of the early ones, as early as possible since before Trump went down the escalator at Trump Tower in New York. 

Paul Ryan apparently just figured all this out because he stated that MAGA Republicans are the new mainstream as if that is a news flash.  As if that just happened.  He and Mitch McConnell have been functioning all this time without understanding the details of what the Republican Party was.  People would not accept it being a captured asset of the political left.  It became apparent to me when my local congressman, John Boehner, became Speaker of the House, and we saw what he did with all that power.  We knew him and were perplexed that he didn’t seem able to do anything to help our country but go through cosmetic nonsense.  Obama was destroying our country, and Boehner was crying about it.  That became the face of the Republican establishment.  I remember I had a special invite to be with all those Republicans in a get-out-the-vote rally with Kid Rock back in 2012, where Romney, Ryan, Boehner, and Kasich were all going to be on stage together.  And I was given VIP access to all of them.  I politely declined because I was already done with all those losers, and now, ten years later, look just how right I was.  At the time, people looked at me with wide-eyed astonishment.  I knew those guys were not the Republican Party I wanted to be a part of.  They liked losing too much and were far too liberal for me.  As governor of Ohio, John Kasich was an idiot, a major letdown.  I was a fan when he first became the governor, but once he lost that public sector union debate in a 2012 election, he quickly turned away from Tea Party politics and snapped right into loser mode. 

So, it was never my option to pick anybody but Trump.  I thought George Bush, both of them, were too far to the left for me; I worked hard in 1992 to get Ross Perot elected, and even back then, people would tell me I was betraying the Republican Party.  No, I want business executives running the executive office, people who know what they are doing and understand how money works, and what a capitalist country is supposed to perform.  They are not a bunch of lying losers who tell us what we want to hear, then rob our tax money and sell us all out to globalists around the world in the realm of centralized banking.  Even this past Memorial Day, I was with many people at a remote location who were going on and on about Ron DeSantis, and I told them, “No, he’s not going to go anywhere.  People are tired of the lies.  Trump will be the nominee, and no jail or phony charges will stop him.”  All the trouble that has been thrown at Trump has only confirmed just how far down the rabbit hole we always were, and people like Paul Ryan, and other “establishment Republicans” were keeping us from solving the problem, which made people like me very, very angry.  And everything I told everyone about this Trump in 2024 situation has come true, just as I said it would.  So why did people like Paul Ryan still think they were the establishment, and all these highly paid people at Fox News and the Beltway culture fail to see the obvious?  How could they all be so stupid?  Well, it’s because they were corrupt, where they viewed government as a path to easy money, and if there were people like Trump in it, that easy money would be harder to get.  And that’s what the game has been for a long time.  Now, many more people are willing to admit that about their government and demand change.  But the Republican Party establishment was never with the thieves.  The people of the party always wanted results.  But that former establishment lied to them, and for some reason, they thought that behavior would continue forever.  Instead, people stopped listening to them, and Trump became the establishment, along with other MAGA candidates.  And that is the way of the future.  Losing is for losers, and Trump supporters aren’t losers.  They have been abused.  But they never accepted loss as the definition of their Republican Party.  And history will remember these important lessons for many thousands of years.

Yes, Trump Needs to Take America out of NATO: The heart of globalism and sinister centralized government

There are a lot of countermeasures being put in place by the current globalists to prevent a future President Trump from pulling out of NATO, of which he has said a lot.  When it comes to NATO, when people like Hillary Clinton are all for it, you know you need to run in the other direction.  NATO stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It is an intergovernmental military alliance established in 1949, comprising 30 North American and European countries. The organization is committed to the collective defense of its members, and its primary purpose is to safeguard the freedom and security of its member countries through political and military means.  NATO is all about globalism and nothing else, and it has been created and maintained because of America.  Without the wealth of the United States, there would be no European alliance of any kind.  So when Trump says that the other countries have to pay their own fair share, people get mad because they never intended to pay anything at all.  Their entire purpose was wealth redistribution, taking money away from America and giving it to people they decide need it more.  And when President Trump forced other countries to pay their part of the bargain, it upset the entire world order because none of them understood NATO to be as it was sold to the public. Instead, it’s a concept rooted in globalism.  For the United States to have such a great military and an incredible capitalist culture to generate so much wealth and have all these resources to work with, what good is any of it if all those crappy socialist European countries can be a member of NATO and get the protection of the United States without any financial compensation?  What is in it for the United States?  You see, there is the problem.

It’s not that America would propose to leave a bunch of European countries exposed to vulnerabilities from more aggressive countries like Russia or Iran.  But that’s not the proposal as it stands.  NATO is a soft disguise for socialism and communism, pointing toward the kind of cooperation that would be needed for a one-world government.  It’s not so much about security but globalism, which is why so many of those types of people, Democrats and RINO Republicans, want unlimited funding of NATO by the United States without ever questioning how much other countries contribute.  Remember what Karl Marx said, “each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”  That’s what NATO is: a mass wealth redistribution scheme disguised as a helpful preventative of war.  If you peel back the onion even more. In that case, you will find that social groups that operate behind government work, such as the Masonic order, are all behind globalism to arrive at worldwide communism; their invention provoked these modern times to control the world centrally.  They first overtook the European monarchies with the concept of free will, which developed in the United States, and then used that to topple all the kingdoms of Europe.  But once that was complete, they used the United States to fund the aftermath of destruction.  Then, they perpetuated many wars to justify the creation of a united band of European countries, supported by the United States, to defend themselves from aggressors.  But those aggressors were often drawn into war by those same bands of malcontents pulling tempers and strings behind the scenes.  It was never about protection but centralized government for the new global citizen that these groups were trying to create. 

Without a NATO alliance to mask the many evils of globalism, then the apparent military strategy of open borders is exposed wide open.  But it is NATO membership that is the key to the Ukrainian conflict and the threat that unified bands pose to those in the world who are not members.  But without the United States, that threat dissipates quickly as toothless.  So, for the whole scam to work, the United States has to be drained of all its resources and open its borders all in the name of compassion so NATO members can use it as a club to conquer other countries with socialism and communism or else.  And if anybody doubted that, how many of the NATO countries who are members are capitalist?  Except for the United States?  Not very many; all the countries of NATO represent various degrees of countries suffering under the hard press of socialism, as Karl Marx expressed it.  Behind all those government entities are the many members of the Mason order who use the cross of Jesus to recruit not-so-smart people into their ranks with the intent of global control over all governments the way Karl Marx invented it.  But without the money of America, created through free enterprise, NATO has no leverage in the world and, therefore, no reason to change its economic platform.  By funding NATO, the goal is to topple America financially, eventually, just as open borders are meant to destroy the concept of nationalism through “compassion.”  In those Mason meetings, they never tell you until much later what God you are serving.  It’s not Yahweh or the articulation described in the Bible.  Yet when you pull back that mask of Europe, that’s what you get.  And ultimately, that is the goal of globalism. 

So, of course, Trump should pull out of NATO at the first opportunity to do so.  Knowing that Trump will likely be back in the White House, you don’t think that all this is part of why Mitch McConnell is finally leaving the Senate?  NATO is at the heart of globalism, and they are working hard to find some way that Trump will be stuck with NATO support well into the future through legal gymnastics.  But that there is so much panic about it tells the story quite clearly.  Trump never wanted to abandon NATO during his first term; he just wanted the other countries to pay for their portion.  But for those members, that wasn’t good because they didn’t have the financial means to contribute. After all, they had too much socialism and insufficient capitalism in their culture.  So they didn’t have the money, and Trump exposed that.  At the heart of that discussion was the assumption that they would never have to pay, that by the time it all caught up to them, the United States would fall financially, and the concept of borders would overwhelm all nationalities and a new world order ran by the United Nations would be well in place.  To cover the debt, a digital currency would be installed globally by the central banks, a Great Reset of all debt would occur, and all outstanding invoices would be settled with the push of a button.  So, there is a lot at stake for globalists if the United States suddenly closes its borders and demands that NATO pay its share because none of them ever intended to.  They were all patiently waiting for the collapse of the United States through the same political alliance that they had been funding for their destruction.  And now that plot has been exposed before it’s too late.  Which is the core of everything the elections of 2024 are all about.

Learning to Waste Time: Why public education doesn’t make smart people

As I always say, I wouldn’t send my kids to a public school for any amount of money.  If you have an option, you should always use it rather than send your child to such a horrible place.  I’m a big fan of homeschooling for many reasons, but one was most obvious due to several recent events involving one of my grandchildren.  My daughter always updates my wife and me on what she is teaching him, and they take frequent trips down to the Cincinnati Museum Center for education trips, so he’s what I would consider way out in front of other kids his age, which is almost 8.  In many ways, he is way ahead of many 25-year-olds.  He is brilliant, and I don’t just say that because he’s my grandchild.  But his interests are well above and beyond other kids his age.  For instance, this incident of notice was that he one day just painted a map of the known solar system, the inner and outer, and he had details in it regarding planet placement and other celestial bodies that people at NASA would struggle with.  It was very advanced and was a clear sign of a vastly deep interest in the subject of astronomy, and other sciences.  I reminded my daughter that Thomas Edison was homeschooled and if his mom had not taught him independently, he likely would have never developed the genius that he was known for.  I also told my daughter that if her son had painted a picture like that in public school, he would have gotten in trouble for it.  They wouldn’t want the other kids to feel bad for not knowing the same things, so they would have penalized my grandson for showing extraordinary ambition above and beyond. 

Public schools are not designed to create the next Albert Einsteins and Thomas Edisons; they are prone to make the next Karen fight with a welfare recipient over a shopping cart in a Walmart parking lot.  Public schools are not designed to produce intellect.  They are designed to make stupid, compliant people, and I see this all the time in dealing with people of all kinds of educational backgrounds.  The number one thing that public schools teach children is to waste time.  They certainly aren’t trying to get kids to become the next Thomas Edison, which is what my grandson reminds me of, and because he is being homeschooled, we can see the development in him without restriction.  I think most kids are intelligent, but we teach them as a civilization to be stupid.  Our government wants them to be stupid so they cannot challenge their power.  The globalists want stupid people because smart people would never put up with their nonsense.  But the most devastating attribute of government-run schools, and education in general, is that we teach people to waste time.  That wasting time is the priority, not learning.  Being compliant and waiting for someone to give you something, rather than waking up every morning, taking life by the horns, and using it to your advantage.  My grandson gets asked a lot when he goes shopping with my daughter, “Why isn’t he in school?”  Of course, the answer from my daughter is that he finished school at 11 AM.  He started around eight and finished around 11.  Now, he has the rest of the day to do other things, like draw pictures of the solar system, including the contents of the Kuiper Belt.  They do more learning in that four-hour span than most kids get all week, or all month in public school.  And that is sad to realize.

The typical kid wakes up and waits for the bus to pick them up or their parents to drop them off at school.  They then wait for the first class to begin.  They wait for the teacher to give instructions.  They wait for the next class.  They wait in line for lunch.  They wait to go to the bathroom and recess; they wait in line for the drinking fountain.  The primary thing that our education system teaches is for people to wait for things.  So, it should be no surprise that they grow into adults waiting for their tax returns and a pizza to be delivered. They were waiting for a text from a correspondence.  Waiting, waiting, waiting.  They were not taught to do things but to wait for things, so it goes for the rest of their adult lives.  And should we be surprised that we have a society of fools who don’t understand that the election in 2020 was stolen and that our current president is completely illegally inserted?  Or that COVID was a bioweapon built in a lab in Wuhan, China, and released to allow the governments of the world to cheat in elections and knock off rival powers like the United States, not with military weapons, which they don’t have but through the Administrative State.  They exploit their natural inclination to do what the teacher tells them to because they were raised to follow orders and wait for someone to tell them what to do next.  What else does anybody think will happen when society is taught to be compliant, not to think?  And that’s why we have a lot of the problems that we do have socially.  Our education systems have massively failed our society, and almost everyone is a victim of it somehow. 

I’m proud that my kids and their kids are learning not to operate on that ridiculous hamster wheel.  I grew up with most of my friends being honor students, so I’ve always known knowledgeable people.  One guy was so intelligent that he sold his honors robes at his graduation for a small fee to someone who wasn’t very smart, but their family expected to take pictures of them in those robes at graduation.  He sold the robes, and you know what we did with the money? We went to Perkins to have a couple of hamburgers and spend the rest of the day to ourselves while everyone else ran the rat race of wasting time created for them by public education.  I feel pretty strongly about this issue, but when I see a mind alive with excitement and genuine passion for learning, it just reminds me how many other young kids are being disabled for life because the dumb adults in their lives are teaching them to be compliant to the many fools who have acquired power, and they are learning the critical lesson of wasting time.  And they will grow into future employees who waste time.  Taxpayers that waste time.  And gullible fools who believe everything a corrupt government tells them because they are too lazy to ask the obvious questions.  And more concerned with wasting time than learning something new and doing something with that knowledge.  If you trace back many of our modern problems, the source goes back to our education system and its many failures.  Homeschooled kids, at least, aren’t typically taught to accept these failures.  So even if their parents aren’t brilliant, the child isn’t learning to accept such restrictions, making them far better off than their peers for critical thinking.  But unfortunately, this is rare in the world.  I’m happy to see explosive intelligence from my grandchildren because my kids teach them not to accept silly social restrictions to advanced intellectual concepts.  What are we trying to do if we aren’t trying to make the next genius in the world?   I don’t think it’s a mass conspiracy to make the world dumb.  But I think it’s what you get when you let dumb people make up the education system.  You don’t get intelligent people.  But you get people used to wasting time and doing whatever authority figures tell them.  Which, in almost every case, cripples them for life.

Bernie Moreno, Don Jr, and Vivek Ramaswamy at Lori’s Roadhouse: Good people doing good things for all the right reasons

Don Jr Endorsing Bernie Moreno at Lori’s Roadhouse

A reporter for the Cleveland Plains Dealer wanted to talk to me after the Bernie Moreno rally at Lori’s Roadhouse in West Chester, Ohio, on February 28th, 2024.  It was an unusual rally in that Vivek Ramaswamy, Donald Trump Jr., and Kimberly Guilfoyle came with Bernie to support a President Trump endorsement ahead of the March primaries; these were all national figures campaigning for the second senate seat and had the full backing of J.D. Vance.  The reporter wanted to know when I knew I wanted to support Bernie Moreno instead of the two other guys, Frank LaRose and Matt Dolan, and I told him it was late August into September.  I said that Frank had screwed up the election in August for Issue 1, and that was going to hang around his neck for a long time because of what it cost us in Ohio, incredibly loose abortion laws from radical progressive outsiders, and the legalization of pot.  And with Matt Dolan, who owns the Cleveland Indians baseball team and allowed himself to be arm-twisted into changing the name to the Guardians, he was simply too soft.  If that’s all he could do to resist the woke mob of lefties who have taken over our government, then he would be no good as a senator.  As Don Jr pointed out during the Moreno rally, a sports team is a little thing that doesn’t matter much to people in the grand scheme.  If Dolan fell short of courage for that little issue, what would he do in the SWAMP, where things mattered quite a lot and the pressure was much more intense?  As I told the reporter, I know both Frank LaRose and Matt Dolan, and they would be nice, typical politicians under normal circumstances.  But they aren’t the kind of fighters needed these days, where we need MAGA Republicans to fit the Trump agenda once President Trump is back in office, and out of them all, only Bernie Moreno fits the need.

I’ve had the opportunity to meet Bernie Moreno several times now, including the private lunch we had back in September, and for me, it’s not even a question.  He is the right guy to go up against Sherrod Brown, which continued my reasoning to the reporter.  It’s not enough to win the Republican primary; once Trump endorses someone in the Republican Party, it seals it for whoever that is.  But to get elected into the Senate will be a brutal campaign against Brown, who is deeply entrenched, and it will take someone as likable as Moreno to pull it off.  Even with the Trump endorsement, it will be a steep haul, and the other guys have too much baggage.  They have brand damage that Brown will easily exploit in a general election, so it comes down to who can beat Sherrod Brown.  And Bernie is that person.  I knew it when I first met him, and now, in West Chester, Ohio, with the coveted Trump endorsement behind him and compelling personalities campaigning with him, it is pretty clear what the path forward is.  Ohio deserves some of the best possible senators we could get, and J.D. Vance has picked his partner in the act. Our task is to give him the tools he needs to succeed.  So, the picture was becoming quite clear at the Lori’s Roadhouse rally.  It was a packed venue for an afternoon event in the middle of the work week.  After the rally, everyone went up to a fundraiser at Wetherington, and the Republican Party was unifying behind a clear strategy, and it was great to see. 

Don Jr knows how to engage with a crowd

Seeing so many culminating aspects come together that I have watched uniquely over the last few years was very satisfying.  I enjoyed watching Vivek speak, Don Jr, Kimberly, and, of course, Bernie.  Don Jr. is such a good guy, especially in person.  I had some people with me, and Don signed the wallet of one of them, to have such a down-to-earth guy, the firstborn son of an ostentatious billionaire, is a real treasure.  Don Jr. balances celebrity with practicality amazingly well, and he’s funny.  I’ve seen him in person many times now, and he is always a fine line between comedy and serious political commentary.  And, of course, with Vivek Ramaswamy, I remember being invited to an event with him in Middletown where he essentially launched his political career.  The fabulous Nancy Nix was in front of me during the rally, proudly watching the events on stage at Lori’s, almost like a proud mother.  Many people don’t know it, but she has her hand in most of these things in Butler County.   She put Vivek and I together in a meeting ahead of the release of his book Woke, Inc., which I think will be the economic platform for American policy over the next ten years.  I felt it when I first read it, and I am very sure of it now, and Nancy knows it, too.  She was also very important to the launching of J.D. Vance, which I wasn’t convinced of initially.  But Nancy understood these personalities very well and worked hard behind the curtain to ensure everything worked and the right people got into the right jobs and met the right people along the way.

Lori Fisher and her husband Greg own Lori’s Roadhouse, and they certainly go above and beyond. A great place to save America!

I only mention Nancy because as I have come to know some of these people, and this is what I was thinking about while talking to the reporter for the Cleveland newspaper, there is some real magic going on with these events that defy conventional political thinking, and my articulation of the point struck the reporter.  These were not typical political considerations but a fight between the life and death of a country and the world’s economy.  And none of these people, including me, needed to do any of this stuff.  All the people traveling with Bernie are rich and powerful.  They don’t need to be in politics.  And I’ve been involved in Butler County politics in Ohio most of my life, and there aren’t that many good people like Nancy Nix who are not in love with name-dropping and power playing, who just do good things because they want to do good things.  There aren’t enough good people in the world doing good things for good reasons.  That includes Greg and Lori, who run Lori’s Roadhouse, they didn’t need to do what they were doing to support these kinds of events.  As I looked around the room at all the people present, Jim and Lee Redkey were standing next to me, T. C Rogers too, and Michael Ryan, along with many others who could have been doing a million other things with their time.  But they were there to support people who were going to great measure to do the right things for our country.  And it was wonderful to witness.  When you start to see the hidden hand of righteousness working over time toward a grand fortissimo of justice and history playing out before our eyes, it’s a magnificent spectacle that doesn’t quite fit the description in a typical newspaper commentary on politics.  It’s simple yet infinitely complex, as so many moving pieces starting many years ago have moved toward this moment as a destiny seeking to be fulfilled.  And so many people played their part, least not the people on the stage supporting Bernie Moreno.  A promise of great things yet to come because people who define greatness purely, not for the recognition they might get or the financial resources that follow, but because it was the right thing to do is a hope for a future that nobody has yet witnessed in the history of the world.  And it was at Lori’s Roadhouse in West Chester, Ohio, on an unusually warm day and a political onslaught yet to come that greatness peaked its head out for all to see.

I Love Private Planes: Public transportation is garbage, more people should have access to more personalized transportation

There are few things better in the world than getting where you want to go to see people you need to see and not wasting a lot of time doing it so that you can do more of other kinds of things.  So you will never hear any complaints about corporate jets and other luxury modes of transportation from me.  I think it’s OK if extreme liberals like Taylor Swift and the mega communist John Kerry or the global terrorist Bill Gates use private jets to fly around the world attending meetings.  I think it’s great that President Trump has his own 757 to fly around in.  This goofy talk about fossil fuels destroying planet Earth is a scam.  We understand how to terraform entire planets; we can undoubtedly maintain CO2 levels on Earth to sustain clean air artificially.  The entire climate change debate is a hoax designed to change political sentiment from capitalism to communism and is ridiculous.  So you will never hear me complain about private jets or corporate planes.  As a matter of fact, I am looking at the new Piper M700 Fury for many personal reasons.  Anytime I can make my life more efficient, it is a good idea to do so.  And time management is the key to that process.  The new Piper plane is a very good way to get groups of people around the United States quickly.  It costs around $5 million and around $1,200 per hour to operate, but when you have to travel a lot, it is cheaper and more reliable than commercial air travel, which takes too long to fly domestically these days because of all the big government TSA cumbersome security.  When it comes to private planes, you show up to the airport and fly off on time.  Commercial air travel is just a big fancy bus, whereas private planes are like cars, and in our American capitalist economy, we all need more planes to do things faster and more efficiently. 

A great innovation for personal transportation

This isn’t a new thing for me, for years, long before I started this blog site, I worked hard to bring Paul Moller’s M400 Sky Car into some kind of public recognition.  The trouble with that was, during the 90s, the engine development wasn’t there to provide the kind of controlled flight needed for a skycar to float like a hummingbird, the way drone technology today allows.  But in the ’90s, I was working out the details and trying to connect them to private delivery travel, with companies like FedEx and UPS to have point-to-point delivery.  We should have already had a kind of Jetson’s future where everyone had sky cars flying out of their driveways and landing at wherever they worked.  The only reason we don’t is that social governments have slowed down the rate of innovation.  And, of course, their whole plot for the world was revealed during COVID-19, the “work from home” culture.  Communists and central planners have been using climate change as an excuse to reduce the freedom of personal transportation and force people onto public options, such as trains and Uber vehicles.  The Administrative State represents tyrannical centralized governments, and their Deep State partners want less freedom for people and for them to exist in a kind of aristocratic bubble, which is where the whole present mentality has emerged in the private jet culture.  They want to fly them because they are busy saving the world from the masses of people they’d love to kill off to save the planet.  So when people fall into the trap of making the reverse argument, such as Taylor Swift, Bill Gates, and John Kerry are hypocrites for flying private jets, then the trap is set for the argument to support that climate change is real, which it isn’t.  So by criticizing celebrities for flying private planes, the argument for climate change is sustained in public debate, when in actuality, the reverse is true.

One of the most advanced concepts revealed in the Bible, as we know it, is the concept of having dominion over the earth.  Before the Bible and the creation of Western Civilization, humanity was in servitude to nature, which is precisely where progressives want to regress politically in our current time.  By having dominion over nature, capitalism formed to fuel the imagination of the people of Earth to innovate.  And that rate of innovation is essential to the universe’s natural state.  As far as micromanaging finite resources, technical innovation easily solves the problem, especially as we become a space emerging culture.  The argument over private planes, private cars, and even space travel is to take away options from people and force them into micromanaged centralized governments, which stunts GDP growth.  But to maintain control over populations, that is a perfectly acceptable attribute.  Most of those types of people don’t want a population of innovation from free people.  They want control, which means making people dependent, and as a byproduct, they innovate less, and society stifles in reaction.  Which is why we don’t have our own version of Jetson cars.  By now, we should.  Private flight is the ultimate way to get around; more people should have it. I’d like to see it moving away from airports altogether and becoming an option in our driveways, just as easy as getting into our cars as we do now.  We need more options, not less, for independent, remote travel.

The ultimate way to travel

It’s the same argument we have with the RV culture, which I am very supportive of.  Why should people be allowed to pack up a part of their house and take it thousands of miles away when gas mileage consumes about 8 miles per gallon?  You could otherwise fly and stay at a hotel when you arrive.  From experience, I can say that there is nothing like having your own bed while traveling and your own kitchen and dining area.  When you stay at a hotel, you never feel at home, but in your RV, you are always home.  When we travel with our grandkids, they prefer to use the RV restroom instead of going to gas stations that are almost always too dirty.  It is much better not to share space if you can help it.  And to that same effect, it would be good for me to have a new Piper M700 Fury so that I could fly somewhere and back on the same day and not even worry about the sleeping over part when you can fly 5 or 6 people comfortably and quickly somewhere that has far more value than in saving the planet from fuel consumption.  Consume the fuel, achieve the task of intellect, and if the earth needs some resource management, apply terraform technology to maintain stability.  Burn the gas to feed the human intellect because the process of thought and meeting other people to do so is more critical than fake preservation of the planet to serve the needs of micromanagers and centralized authority types.  I love private planes and if more people had them, the cost could come down, and they’d be much more common.  I would like to see a lot more personalized transportation in the sky than restricting travel to the ground as the future evolves.  Humans were made to create; to do so, they need personal freedom.  And private planes provide that kind of freedom in wonderful ways, ways we need to advance and support in a much better way.  We should have a world where everyone could have a Piper M700 Fury or a sky car in every driveway that anybody could fly with the push of a button.

War and Mashed Potatoes: Open borders are an act of war, and the aggressors must be punished as such

There is more to the border problems of the world than just attracting voting demographics.  In the United States, the assumption is that Democrats want new voters because they are losing their old ones, with reckless border security, and they intend to turn red states like Texas into blue states like Illinois and Minnesota.  And that is undoubtedly a surface-level concern.  But this isn’t just a problem in the United States.  I feel very fortunate to have seen with my family Notre Dame before it was burnt down by terrorists in Paris.  They are about to reopen it, although it will forever be damaged because of the history it contained; the cause of the destruction was globalism and the deliberate military intention to provoke open borders all around the world so that new ideas and cultures would burden the old cultures of nationalism and in that way, take down all notions of borders and achieve what progressives have always wanted, a borderless world ran by a one world government that identifies as global citizens.  With that known, all the attempts at such a cause must be viewed as a military objective as hostile agents, no different than when an Emperor of the past sent troops to conquer some foreign land so that they could acquire the resources of that territory.  That is how the Greek, Roman, and British empires and countless others were established.  Genghis Khan comes to mind.  What is happening with open border policies around the world is no different, it’s just being done on a scale we usually don’t consider, which is one of their strategies for aggression.   To override our cultures before we figure out what has always been the intention.  Which is to destroy all concepts of nationalism in the world and to replace it with globalism. 

Just imagine making mashed potatoes for your Thanksgiving meals.  The decision to isolate a potato and serve it as it takes work distinguishes it from the rest of the contents on the plate.  If you are looking for uniformity, you don’t want to isolate the ingredients when cooking; you want to mess them all together, like a stir fry or a mashed potato serving complete with a lot of gravy.  For those in the world at the World Economic Forum who want global communism and a centralized authority run by the United Nations but don’t have a military of their own, how else would they perform their task?  They have sponsored open border policies desiring to move migrants from one part of the world to the next to mix all the ingredients of the world so that the concept of identity is destroyed, and the newly displaced people, even in formally strong countries, will be thrown together looking for a new leader to unify them, and define new rules of conduct.  This was always the risk when transportation and communication worldwide made it possible; the temptation for the next tyrant to conquer everyone would prove too much.  But in this case, all the tyrants of the world have united under a common cause and set globalism as their means to achieve their tyrannies in a shared way under the banner of communism.  Because they at least share all that intention in “common.”  So there is only one way to view open border policies, as a military threat and an intentional world war against all nationalist concepts, nations that intend to maintain their identities and resist a global world order of centralized government.  The attack is no different than Pearl Harbor or any other aggression against American soil.  But since it’s innocent people being used as weapons, and not tanks and troops, people have been slow to realize what’s happening. 

This is clear to me as I travel around the world.  I visit Japan relatively often, so I see the dramatic contrast in apparent manifestations.  Japan is an island nation that is difficult to get to.  You can’t just have an open border; you must fly in or arrive by boat.  And it’s small enough of a nation to cover the borders easily by water.  Nobody is getting into Japan without them knowing about it.  So, they have maintained their culture in a very traditional way.  They are friendly to foreigners and are always nice to me, but they don’t give up their culture for anybody.  It is also why they are one of the top economies in the world despite the challenges of their remote location and lack of resources to work with on their island.  One striking thing about their culture is how little crime they have and how well their cities operate.  That is because they are mainly free of the manipulations of foreign hostilities, such as the World Economic Forum. Because Japan is isolated, the World Economic Forum has a hard time using policy to overthrow the country and to destroy its concept of nationalism.  The world has bigger fish to fry, and that is where the World Economic Forum is focused.  They will worry about Japan later once the rest of the world is under their thumb.  Currently, the game is to prop up China with phony money and then use the communist model to overthrow America and Europe.  The war with Russia is meant to degrade their concept of nationalism, and then once the domino falls, countries like Japan can be targeted.  But for now, the vulnerable countries are those who tolerate diversity so that open borders can destroy the concept of sovereignty. 

But for all those fools who say, “It’s for national security,” when you have open borders, your national security is gone.  And for all the money we spend on the military, what good is it if the real war is moving people all around the world with fake hostilities to provoke globalism in a kind of mashed potatoes presentation?  As I said what I did about Japan, I could say the opposite about England and France, obvious targets of globalism to weaken the former empires of Europe and beat them with incoming migrants from formally conquered territories.  Rather than fight them directly, the goal is to undermine their cultures.  And I have had a chance to see the progress over the previous decade.  The hostilities between cultures are purposeful.  Race relations were weaponized to achieve this goal of globalism.  And the only way to deal with it is to recognize it for what it is: war.  An attack against sovereign nations to overthrow them and, in the wreckage, create new laws centered around globalism.  Knowing all this, then we should be applying our military to these hostile actors and punishing them for their attack against our country.  Like Japan, a country is a set of ideas that produce good or bad results as they are applied to the world.  Japan is booming, and America has been.  Europe has been.  But this is just another attack on financial values, such as capitalism by communism.  It’s only that the approach has not directly involved military hostility.  However, hostility is different between races, sexes, and regional values.  Putting them all together as mashed potatoes to be served up to the lords of globalism is what the goals have been.  People have been slow to realize what the game is, and how to play it, by calling it what it really is, war.

Ramaswamy, Vance and Musk All in One Place: The future looks bright after Trump finally leaves office

I am glad that a brilliant person invited me to an unusual online town hall on the X platform with Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, and Vivek Ramaswamy, along with others, talking about political events.  It reminded me of just how much power new media has, but more than that, it was a glimpse into the future.  Of life after President Trump.  We spend so much time talking about getting Trump back in office that the more significant issue of what kind of future comes after Trump often gets ignored where it shouldn’t.  We know what Trump will do in office; he has done it before, and history will remember him as one of the greatest presidents in the history of the world.  And because of all Joe Biden’s radical executive orders, many of the terrible things happening to America right now will be able to be undone quickly, and fiscal and social policy that has been detrimental will have quick solutions to them.  And Trump will be able to do great things fast over the next four years.  But then what?  Does the pendulum swing back in the other direction as it is about to do against Democrats, who have grown way too big for their britches and need a righteous ass-kicking?  I have already stated my position, which I think is becoming more apparent to everyone else by the day; my pick for the Vice President of Vivek Ramaswamy is an investment into the future.  I have met him a few times, as well as J.D. Vance, and there is a deep bench of Republicans who are ready to offer themselves in leadership positions.  They are brilliant and personally wealthy, which makes them least tempted toward corruption, and they are willing to follow a blueprint established by Trump that will last for many decades.  So, more and more, the VP picked by Trump for his next term is more important than any other factor.

But there is a wild card in Elon Musk that is new.  Four years ago, even a year ago, Elon Musk was flirting with the idea of a Ron DeSantis candidacy, but he was very reluctant to commit to political discussion as he has been a kind of global citizen as that movement spawned out of the World Economic Forum.  He was their poster boy for the future and, as the world’s richest man, their greatest asset.  So, people were slow to trust anything Elon Musk had to say about anything.  But he did buy Twitter and turned it over to X.  I’m a big fan of SpaceX, and I like Tesla vehicles for what they are: significant innovations in the field of fancy golf carts.  I admire the ambitions of Musk, and I think I understand him pretty well because we are both fans of Douglas Adams, which establishes an intelligence that I can indeed find common ground.  But the person I heard on that podcast with Vivek and Vance at the same time was a person noticeably interested in politics and, I would dare say, supportive of the MAGA agenda.  And I came away from that broadcast very happy that the future was going to be covered and be perhaps even better than with Trump in the White House. Because we saw a blueprint with those personalities that could change the world in a very positive way, all three of them have done great work lately to contribute to a capitalist world and know how to defend it from the global socialists, and that is something new.

While there are people who have been justifiably reluctant to trust Musk on anything, I do have personal experience with some of these people and understand that politically, they are all people who were not necessarily born Republican.  In J.D. Vance’s situation, he was very anti-Trump in 2016 after making a movie about his life with Ron Howard, one of the biggest anti-Trumpers on planet earth.  But as most intelligent people do, they gather information and figure out what’s best, so now, in 2024, even 2022, when he was running for the senate, J.D. Vance has become one of the most excellent MAGA representatives that there is on the world stage, and he has had a significant impact.  He has not let me down, that’s for sure.  I asked him some very specific questions in the backyard of Nancy Nix’s house about this exact time, and he has more than lived up to his answer.  He’s the real deal.  And I’ve told similar stories about Vivek Ramaswamy.  He has grown into his role as Mr. MAGA, but he didn’t start that way.  Like any intelligent person, he has observed the world’s conditions and adjusted his politics to meet them.  Along the way, new friendships have been formed, and I certainly like having these guys on the right side. That’s how you get to be a big tent party, and there is undoubtedly nothing phony about their commitment to a better political world.  With minds like theirs in politics, as they are both still under 40, the future looks very bright after Trump finally leaves office and is out of politics for good.  We may see several decades of prosperity with personalities like this leading the way. 

But I’ve said of Musk before, while others have been very reluctant to support him, that eventually he would figure out that there was no way that Earth could become a space-faring society with the current globalist plans toward communism.  And Musk has undoubtedly become more vocal, which I thought was stunning during that political podcast, to hear all three of those guys and others joining in talking about the future of the world.  Listening in with the rest of the audience, it was clear that Trump was just the point guard in this effort, a way to distribute the ball of capitalism to this next generation, which Musk would play a massive part in.  For the new economy of space to flourish the way Musk wants it to, and so do I, there had to be a regime change across the entire world, and these guys understood it.  I thought it was one of the most remarkable broadcasts I have ever heard and wouldn’t have happened before Elon Musk bought up X as a communication platform.  It’s not so much in the obvious things that the improvements will come.  It’s far more significant than President Trump returning to the White House, tearing up the horrendous Executive Orders from Joe Biden, and making America Great Again.  It’s what comes after that we should all be excited about.  And yes, there is an after.  By electing Trump, we get minds like Vance, Ramaswamy, and Musk on the world stage to build genuinely remarkable economic opportunities that will make it possible to have a whole new market economy on the frontiers of space.  And as bad as things have been, things have real potential to improve.  There is no point in history where such minds have pulled together for the good of the future, but in the wake of President Trump and his bold tenacity poised to save humanity from certain doom with optimism and intelligence unleashed perhaps for the first time in the history of all lifeforms in the universe.  And that makes today a pretty good one.

George Lang’s Business Ratio: The New Bass Pro in West Chester, Ohio

Over the last several weeks, it has been interesting to hear from so many people upset that I support George Lang, the current State Senator in the 4th District in Ohio, and will continue to do so.  They think he is a RINO and that somehow I can’t tell the difference between a rhino and an elephant.  And the concern continues because I know many politicians, and I like many of them, and I’ve been very open about it.  People new to politics or who don’t have an excellent understanding of what the government is supposed to do for all of us get wrapped up in the horse race criteria that the media creates for them, so supporting candidates for various positions becomes a kind of football game where some people in Ohio support the Cincinnati Bengals because they happen to live south of Columbus while people in the north support the Cleveland Browns.  Those in Columbus fight over which is the better, depending on the record.  But in the end, it’s all rigged, and they are all the same guys and corporate products designed to sell advertising to people.  Politics is much the same kind of thing, and what we usually end up with are people who don’t do a very good job once in office.  They talk the talk but never walk the walk.  And the people I tend to support do so on merit-based standards.  I judge them more on what they actually do than what they say, and when it comes to George Lang, who doesn’t say much about himself too often, he does a lot in the background that is very successful.  And one of these, there was undoubtedly a topic of conversation ahead of the March primary; I had the good fortune to attend the opening of Bass Pro for a unique sneak peek ahead of the crowds with George.  And we geeked out by what we saw.  But as we enjoyed a private tour and I did a scouting report on some of my hard-to-find .500 magnum ammunition and acquire much-needed 209 shotgun primers, I was reminded of why I like George so much.  Not that it’s a struggle, but when I say he’s a great politician and has done all of us such a great job, I look at Bass Pro moving to West Chester as part of the great free enterprise initiatives that George Lang has built over the years, things that operate in the background, and the case for George Lang makes itself quite clear. 

I remember when George and I were friends as he was a trustee in West Chester 15 years ago, and he struggled to fight to keep the trend of the area toward small government and generate much economic wealth, as a township instead of a city.  I have a rule I talk about all the time, which I discuss in great detail in my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, which people worldwide have been enjoying because the balance of government is the key to a country’s success.  Just as it was set up to do in America, the government needs to be big enough to support the needs of a country or a community but not too big to become authority figures, which is tricky business among anybody in the human race, anywhere in the world.  But few places have done it better than West Chester, Ohio.  I have been a part of it since the beginning, starting when we used to call it Union Township, and it was mostly farmland and open fields.  It was strange to stand in the new Bass Pro parking lot with my wife a few days later during the grand opening when she remembered me racing cars against other rival people in that area.  Things have changed quite a lot.  However, the form of government formed around the growth of West Chester Township is a success story that traces back to George Lang.  To have such a community run by three trustees is unusual in the world, where so much wealth is generated among so many people, and to have such a high standard of living is almost unheard of.  But George established much of that in those early days, and the trustees there now have continued those policies and resisted the temptation to turn West Chester into a city with a mayor and city councils running everything.  The success in West Chester is that George Lang and future trustees have embraced the capitalist concept of free enterprise and kept government as small as possible to allow businesses to grow, and as a result, West Chester has been, and continues to be, one of the best places in the world, not just the country.  I’ve been all over the world several times.  And I’ve been all over the United States and seen a lot of very nice communities.  There are few places as good as West Chester, Ohio.  I would argue that no place is better.  The reasoning is that the government ratio has been figured out and maintained in West Chester mainly because of George Lang’s precedent.

The Bass Pro story is a good one.  We have been fortunate to have a Bass Pro in Forest Park and a Cabela’s in West Chester by Liberty Center.  Since Bass Pro bought Cabela’s over the last decade, I have mixed feelings about them combining resources to make this new Bass Pro in West Chester, which opened on February 21st, 2024.  I liked both previous stores and hated to see them go.  But the property for the new one was established over a decade ago, and once they were planning to move to the new location, Forest Park made them an excellent deal on their lease, so they stuck around while the market settled down and the agreement with Cabela’s matured.  The giant outdoor store market has found its balancing act, as Field and Stream have discovered.  How big can you be and still be small enough to survive?    I tend to judge all Bass Pro stores based on my favorite, the one in Springfield, Missouri, the headquarters of a vast store, as I have discussed before.  As George and I stepped into the new Bass Pro, it was more Cabela’s in its presentation than Bass Pro, but it’s a fantastic size and filled with everything anybody could ever hope to have regarding outdoor life.  My family spends a lot of time exploring and traveling, so a store like this is a wonderful addition to our life.  The new West Chester store is enormous.  It is noticeably different from the one in Forest Park, but it is right-sized to fill the needs of the current outdoor market.  Having the ground on the Streets of West Chester is far better for them than in any of the other two previous locations. 

And that’s the trick: why did Bass Pro select that location in West Chester instead of other regional places?   The Forest Park site was failing because the community failed, as has Fairfield, Springdale, and Sharonville around the area.  All those places have moved in the city direction and have added government in the form of mayors and city councils that slowed down the growth rate because they started looting off their businesses to support the government.  West Chester is very business-friendly, and the tax structure is not penalizing.  If you keep your government small, they don’t have the ability to loot off the community.  And additionally, we have kept the government school of Lakota under check for well over a decade now, so they haven’t been able to suck the life out of West Chester and Liberty Township the way the schools do in other parts of the world.  The result is that investments like those that take a Bass Pro Shop to build and develop can happen, where different communities would choke off the opportunity at the development phase.  Working in the background as one of Ohio’s most powerful senators, George Lang is bringing those same sensibilities to the entire state of Ohio.  And he’s doing a great job.  Whenever I go to Columbus to talk politics, the word about George is that he stays focused on his Business First Caucus and doesn’t get wrapped up in much else.  He is applying the West Chester model, which he helped to build from the start to Ohio in general.  The Ohio Senate listens to him, as does the House, and he has the ear of the governor in a healthy way.  You don’t see George running for every microphone to broadcast everything he does.  When I took a few pictures of him at the opening of the new Bass Pro, he was a little shy about taking credit.  But I know the details behind the scenes, and he deserves much credit.  And that’s also why I’m so supportive of him over these many years and continue to be.  George understands how to support just enough government to make it functional.  And takes away the flash of temptation for it to grow into a monster.  And everywhere George has been, his fight has been to keep government small and manageable.  Bass Pro is just a recent but obvious example.  And it was great to see it happen.

Lawyers Are Usually Too Dumb and Worthless: The scam that leans to the political left to corrupt our entire soceity

I’ve never liked lawyers.  For me, they were always con artists who overly complicated the legal system so that they could take money away from innocent people.  The law should be so clear that ordinary people can represent themselves in court.  But courts have been horrendous substitutes for dueling as it was classically conducted in America.  When we say these days, “See you in court,” it’s a poor substitute for “pistols at dawn.”  But we wanted to consider ourselves a civilized society and that we were a nation of laws, not lawlessness.  So, we have replaced those classic gun duels with a bunch of pinheaded fools who use the legal system to conduct justice in unsatisfying ways, enriching themselves in the process.  I would instead just shoot the bad guys.  It would be more honorable, and cheaper.  But saying all that, I have been to court a lot more than I’ve been in shootouts with people, so I know the lawyer type extremely well.  And I’ve hated them to such an extent that I have represented myself in court on more than one occasion and done just fine.  And when I think of these things I have a friend who once had so much legal trouble that he had a bedroom in his house filled with unpaid bills and legal notices that was over one foot deep from wall to wall.  He used to let his kid swim in that room like it was the ball pit at Chucky Cheeses and she would bury herself under them when playing hide and seek, and nobody would find her.  He did end up going to jail eventually for disputes with an ex-girlfriend that he couldn’t outsmart the lawyers in that case because he was technically in the wrong.  But on the many cases worth many, many, many millions of dollars in judgments against him, there wasn’t a lawyer in Ohio or Kentucky who could move him off a mountain of superior intellectual positioning. 

Most lawyers are pretty dumb.  They get into the legal profession because they never stand up to their parents and get used to being told what to do early in life.  When we look at these court cases against Trump and see how dumb Fani Willis and Letitia James are, people are stunned that these are people who have passed a Bar exam.  In my experience, these are common people in the legal profession.  It’s the same scam as the snake oil salesman selling whiskey to cure colds and snake bites in the same bottle.  Lawyers have been propped up to be considered standard bearers of righteous knowledge.  But the truth is they are mostly pretty dumb.  As I say all that, I can think of more than twenty I know whom I wouldn’t pay five cents for.  My first reaction is always to represent myself, and I have argued detailed legal matters with multiple people of high intellect as recently as yesterday.  I think anybody with average reading comprehension should be able to represent themselves better and more appropriately than any lawyer.  Lawyers get into the profession because they are compliant people who do what their parents want them to.   Then, as adults, they have the same weakness: they do what political parties tell them to, what judges ask them to, and what corrupt elements instruct them to.  In the case of Lakota schools, if you peel back the orange, the root cause of so much corruption comes down to lawyers running the school and taking their orders from the local teacher’s union.  I have found that most lawyers lean to the political left.  And those who do call themselves Republicans tend to be RINOs because they believe in big institutions to hide the ruse of their con game.  They make their money because of big government, not by freeing people from it. 

I’m a person who reads from the law every single day, and it starts with the Ohio Constitution.  For fun, I read The Federalist Papers and The Anti-Federalist Papers, and I love them.  There are legal minds in those pages who are magnificently brilliant.  Those are not the modern lawyers talking, and out of many thousands of people that I know, a lot of them legal types, we don’t produce people like those Founding Fathers today.  So when I say I would rather have a duel in the street with someone I disagree with, I mean it in that context.  We were a better society when people settled their differences directly and quickly.   These legal courtroom battles with third-party arbiters have been ridiculously dumb, significantly weakening our nation.  Lawyers are lazy, weak, and not able to properly represent strong, individualized Americans in the concept of a free people.  I’ve been on the stand interviewed by lawyers for testimony many times and given a lot of depositions, and in many cases, the lawyers were the best available at the time, and I’ve never been impressed with any of their intellects.  When dealing with them I often think of my friend who ran them in circles for years in a game of cat and mouse, including big federal cases, and they were too dumb to touch him.  He easily beat them in court every time because they were too stupid to argue with him.  With that guy, what ended up bringing him down was the same as with most men: a woman.  Not the law. 

Lawyers have made our system of justice far worse.  The only people who benefit from it are the legal people.  The people who get drug into court to be represented by lawyers end up losing everything while the same lawyers who battle it out in court end up going to lunch together after the case.  It’s not skin off their back what happens to their clients.  The judges and lawyers are often golf buddies, and the client pays for the corrupt access their lawyer has to judges.  That is not how our legal system was supposed to be and as I say all the time, it would be better and more righteous if we just shot the bad guys instead of making all these lawyers rich off the pursuit of justice that never comes.  We have too many lawyers chasing too few needs, so they often end up in politics looking to write laws or broker deals that put money in their pocket for their investment in the law practice.  So when we talk about the corruption in our political system, it becomes obvious that the primary cause is that it is filled with too many lawyers who find private practice too hard to manage, so politics becomes a good destination for them, and they hardly bring ethical behavior to our representative government.  Just as in the Lakota case in my neighborhood, it all comes down to keeping dumb people on the school board to make it easy for the lawyers to throw money at the leftist teacher’s union because they are too lazy to argue on behalf of justice.  And what’s more important to them is a nice dinner at a wine-tasting ceremony than strengthening our republic with legal wisdom.  No, most lawyers are just like Fani Willis and Letitia James.  Fortunately, many people who don’t deal with lawyers have had the illusion of what kind of people are in the legal world ripped away from them on national television.  And they are disappointed with what they see.  But it’s indeed no surprise to me.  We should drop the courtrooms and get back to dueling.  We would be a far better society.
