The Horrible Report Card at Lakota Schools: Lynda O’Conner has become the Jack Smith of Butler County

If you ever wanted to know why Lakota schools had a terrible report card of 3.5 out of 5 when it should have been, as surrounding districts were, a perfect 5, the reason was sitting in a Butler County, Ohio courtroom on September 15th, 2023.  No, it wasn’t Isaac Adi trying to get a protection order against Darbi Boddy that was the problem; it was Lynda O’Conner, who was also present, who was behind everything.  Poor little Judge Lyons was there representing Isaac in such a ridiculous case.  That he was deceived into doing Lynda’s “Get Darbi at all cost” obsession said everything.  He’s a pretty nice guy, and wouldn’t have been there but out of obligation.  The drama and destruction at Lakota fell on one person’s shoulders, Lynda O’Conner.  Rather than playing politics and embarking on a campaign of personal destruction, she should have been managing the Lakota school system, which shows in the report card.  And I know precisely how Judge Lyons got involved in Lynda’s business, which is essentially just the same as Jack Smith’s case against President Trump, with Smith behaving just like Lynda and Darbi being our local version of President Trump.  I know because I’ve tried to help Lynda personally for years and I understand that look on Judge Lyon’s face, the “why am I here” look.  Lynda, over the last week, has personally been involved in so much destruction.  Her crusade against Darbi Boddy is well chronicled, but her fingerprints are all over the Jews against the West Chester Tea Party case, too, which blasted them all over the media needlessly, not caring at all who it might hurt.  It was vicious politics and really unacceptable, especially since it involved long-time friends. Having disagreements with friends is one thing. Trying to destroy them is quite another. The smoke is still clearing on that one, but guess who is at the center of all that destruction?  All because they didn’t endorse Lynda, and she didn’t want to do the “meet the candidate night?” So rather than going there to get asked tough questions, destroying the venue was the next best option? Those are my assumptions based on knowledge of the people involved. Give me a break. You don’t get to go out and try to personally destroy entire organizations, just as she has done with Darbi, just because they don’t do what you want them to do.  Then call up all these “powerful friends” to help you do it.  That is corrupt politics on steroids. 

Meanwhile, the previous superintendent, who had all the trouble and put Lakota in such a bad place, was hired by Lynda, and Lynda personally managed him.  Many of the legal fees that the district has suffered are because of her mismanagement of his time at Lakota; she was the school board president and had the gavel.  Based on the police reports, he was much more interested in maintaining a swinger life with area Lakota parents and strangers on Craigslist than in ensuring that Lakota schools was a great district.  That is probably, given the destruction in her wake, which I have personally gone way out of my way to help her avoid, was the dumbest thing she could have done.  I see the public education system as just a fancy babysitting service, and I put my personal beliefs on hold to help her enormously, including when she wanted my help to get Darbi and Isaac elected.  Then, what I witnessed in personal destruction up close regarding Darbi was bizarre and a serious waste of my time, which I’m pretty angry about.  I didn’t want to know everything I did that made up that poor report card for Lakota, which all these same losers want to blame on disruptions caused by Darbi.  Give me a break.  That is like the Democrat Party saying that the world would be so much better if not for President Trump.  This politics of personal destruction is a Democrat thing, culminating in that Butler County courtroom.  Lynda started the fights between Isaac and Darbi.  And she even managed to get an old friend in Judge Lyons drug into a mess she created.

A lot goes into public education report cards, but it comes down to one thing: the teacher’s union’s control over the education process.  It states simply, “Pay us more money, and you’ll get a better report card.”  All the report card people are aligned to that objective, and next year, Lakota has a teacher’s contract coming up where all these horrible employees will want raises.  And if they get them, the report card will suddenly be a four or a five.  The real solution to Lakota’s problems would be to have four more parents who care on the school board and to fire all the senior-level sticks in the mud who work at Lakota and hire young, fresh talent who you can get for half the pay because it’s payroll that is the problem and what they do.  We don’t need a bunch of radical Joe Biden supporters teaching kids Critical Race Theory and gender neutrality at a six-figure hit to the budget.  Then, ask the community to pass a tax increase when their taxes are already out of control, and the hidden inflation tax is destroying their basic lifestyles.  The Lakota school board is supposed to be like Darbi Boddy has been.  Not a lay down across the train tracks like Lynda O’Conner has done for over 16 years catering to the teacher’s union while playing Republican to everyone who doesn’t want their taxes to go up—but doing the exact opposite regarding actual policy.

I have spoken to hundreds of people about Lynda’s bizarre behavior toward fellow school board member Darbi Boddy, and I think it all comes down to one thing: Darbi doesn’t look like the bottom of a foot.  And the irrational crusade against her isn’t over policy or presentation, but it’s over classic female rivalries.  Which is pretty ridiculous when you think about what’s at stake.  Many people are worried about real estate values because of the continued report cards at Lakota, which are expected to be excellent.  But honestly, the real estate value fear tactic is old news now.  Schools are good because of the people who invest in real estate.  Schools aren’t the primary drivers; location and culture matter far more.  The public schools are just places where parents can drop their kids off while parents do “busy stuff.”  But in Lakota’s district, child-aged parents are a pretty small demographic.  Most people living in Lakota don’t have kids in the community.  So all this Lakota news is a waste of their time.  It’s not just Darbi; there are several young women who do not look like the bottom of a foot and don’t have to put on layers of caked make-up to go to the mailbox who want to run for the school board.  I have only seen this kind of bizarre behavior in situations where women are fighting each other over silly things, which is a pretty stupid thing for people who want to lead the district even to be concerned about.  Yet Judge Lyons was getting pulled into an even more foolish story, trying to validate Isaac’s fears of being harassed by Darbi.  It was like some dumb soccer game where a player is trying to draw a penalty, and a swift breeze comes along and ruffles the player’s hair, and they fall to the ground as if someone hit them.  When you see that kind of thing going on, well, it’s no wonder the report card for Lakota is a measly 3.5.  The situation that set up those conditions is older than when Darbi was on the board.  And like everything at Lakota and all the trouble dripping off it, Lynda O’Conner is at the center.  And she wants to be re-elected?  She owes a lot of people an apology, at the very least, Darbi, for one.  The West Chester Tea Party for another.  The Butler County Courts. And literally hundreds of people who have tried to help her, only to watch her essentially turn into the Jack Smith of our community.  And embarrass us all.

Isaac Adi Loses His Man Card: Despite modern woke rules, people are still people

So they have drug Judge Lyons into all this? I love the Judge, and there he was in court serving as the stooge for a failed political figure, as Lynda is calling in all the favors, hoping to turn back the tides of reality like some crazy old woman seeks the fountain of youth before the grip of old age seals her doom. These political gymnastics can’t hide the terrible report card at Lakota. Lynda was in charge, and it’s on her, which will be the subject of tomorrow. But for now, man cards are still crucial in the world, despite the attempt to use new woke rules to remove such judgments from society. Men and women still have expectations from each other that have been relevant for many thousands of years, even millions. And that was something an old friend of mine, who ran WLW radio then, used to enjoy during his Saturday radio show from 9 a.m. until 11. Back before there was ever a YouTube, through the Obama first term, I used to do a lot of talk radio all over the country, and I had a good relationship, especially with Clear Channel Radio, who ran WLW, specifically through Darryl Parks when he was the big man at the station, setting all their programming priorities. He and I had similar politics, so I was a frequent guest with him and many other Marconi award-winning personalities, and we had a good time having fun with forbidden early woke social rules. It would be woke politics that would have Clear Channel remove most of the conservative talent (Bill Cunningham is not a real conservative; he only plays one on the radio), and Parks eventually lost his title. But while he had it, we had a lot of fun and did a lot of good radio making fun of ridiculous things, such as woke policies, well before anybody even knew what they were. We would often exploit that trait on his radio show, and one of the most popular mechanisms we would employ was removing people’s man cards when they showed weak behavior in a public setting, especially men who were not standing up for traditional masculine attributes. We would talk about them on the air during his show to hundreds of thousands of people and remove their man cards as a shame for their lack of courage and strength when it was needed most.

So in that fabulous and influential tradition, we must bring back the removal of man cards when they show they do not deserve them, and that is certainly the case with Isaac Adi, the Lakota school board member who attempted to have court protection from fellow school board member, Darbi Boddy.  He and Darbi were at a conference in Florida and had several arguments, which isn’t unusual.  They ran for school board together and have turned out to be quite different politically.  It didn’t look that way at first, but since Isaac won his seat, he has essentially become much more liberal, whereas Darbi is still the conservative mom that she ran herself as.  But unlike regular politicians, Darbi didn’t say one thing and then show herself to be something else.  And that is what the establishment types call a lack of “professionalism” when politicians do what they say they will do with the naive assumption that they might be able to change anything. For most politicians, you throw populist opinions to the public to get them to vote for you.  Then you say other things to those who donate money to political campaigns.  But when you are in executive session with other politicians, you are all friends; you talk about Bill’s cat and Sarah’s new dress, and no matter who they are, Republicans and Democrats, you enjoy a kind of silent membership to the club.  Darbi was always the same person: the campaign Darbi, the fundraising Darbi, and the daily school board member.  So when efforts were led by Lynda O’Conner, a supposed conservative school board member, to get control of these two new school board members a few years ago, Isaac and Darbi, only Isaac listened.  Darbi remained independently conservative, and since then, Isaac and Darbi have had a very contentious relationship, and they argue frequently for obvious reasons. If it’s anybody’s fault for destroying their relationship, it’s Lynda O’Conner who did it.

According to court testimony on September 15, 2023, because of this incident, Isaac was admitted to a hospital for two nights and three days, and he had a medical bill as evidence. That says everything.

But the only time they’ve been violent, that type of thing was initiated by Isaac. At least two times, I know where Isaac has punched at cameras recording him, and it was women holding those cameras. Isaac has a temper and has expressed it openly. He likes to be in control, and when he feels he’s losing control, he turns to physical aggression. I never thought it was a big deal, but under the definition of harassment that he expressed to a court on September 15th, 2023, then the smeller is the feller in this case. He’s the guy in the elevator passing gas and then looking at everyone else as if it were their fault. So it is ironic that after that Florida trip for school board business, he went to the courts to file a petition against Darbi, citing that he did not feel safe around her and that she had been “bullying” him. And that she carries a gun and he doesn’t feel “safe.” Jiminy Christmas, that is not how men talk! I understand that Darbi is tough, and she has a powerful personality. I have been to the firing range with her and her husband, and I can report that she does know how to handle herself with a gun. But what world is Isaac living in? Everyone carries a weapon, or at least they should. It’s like saying that a woman has earrings. Carrying guns is a common social enterprise, so it should not have been a big deal to Isaac. But he went to the courts to seek protection from her, which was pretty embarrassing, and he felt he needed to. The judge denied the request, as should have been understood from the start. Isaac failed to present evidence that an ex parte order is necessary for his safety and protection from imminent danger.

They should have never tried to knock Darbi off the school board. They just keep digging themselves deeper and deeper.

All that might be fine in the legal world of court talk and political discourse.  And to say it’s a dysfunctional relationship doesn’t go deep enough to the true heart of the matter.  What is the purpose of these frequent confrontations?  It comes down to acceptance of honest public discourse, and what I find valuable about Darbi is that as a genuine representative of the community and an unpolished political figure, she is a good gauge of how people feel in the district.  Yet the political trend is to be one way in public and another in private, which is an inherently dishonest position, and that understanding has led to healthy conflict.  But if you are a man, you don’t run to the courts looking for protection, for the “state” to protect you.  You handle your battles and don’t seek government help to resolve them.  That is why Isaac Adi must lose his man card.  By the woke rules of the modern world, it’s OK for men to cry and be emotional.  And to be afraid of guns.  But by the fundamental laws of manhood, those are all reprehensible traits that women classicly find destructive and unattractive.  And I think Darbi’s primary source of disappointment, knowing her pretty well as I do, is that Isaac has shown himself to be everything but the kind and conservative person she ran with on the campaign.  Darbi never wanted to be a political figure in the traditional sense.  She just wanted to be on the school board to help kids get access to a better life.  And she has had no desire to become what Isaac has, and that anger spills over into their conversations.  The Lakota school board’s dysfunction started when Isaac attempted to remove Darbi from the school board with many other hostile people, led by Lynda O’Conner, literally the moment that Darbi gave her the critical vote to make her president.  So, who in their right mind would expect Darbi to get along with them at this late date or that she’d want to join hands under a banner of peace now?  She can only hope that she gets more people on the school board who are better representatives of the community to work with, and until then, she is just holding her nose, like many people are.  But compromising with people without integrity is not an option, or dealing with people who have lost their man cards.

The West Chester Tea Party is Not Antisemitic: Trying to control the world through managed free speech established by institutionalism

It’s all About Politics and candidates who are afraid to let people see who they really are in a setting they can’t control

Supposedly, there was a meeting at the West Chester Tea Party at the St. Gertrude the Great Catholic Church on September 5th, where accused vitriolic hatred toward the Jewish people was expressed in antisemitic rhetoric, and it was a news story that gained much attention. And it was members of the “Republican Party” who tipped off the Cincinnati Jewish Community Relations Council, pressing them to denounce the West Chester Tea Party for its actions. Apparently, there was a guest at that September 5th meeting where topics about the Jewish people’s role in the world came up. This Jewish organization wanted to attach that discussion to a form of controlled speech that we see as such a strategy of the political left, where they determine what parameters of debate anybody is allowed to have. Anyone who dares to step outside those boundaries will then be attacked publicly, such as what is being attempted by the West Chester Tea Party. And if that was all it was, we could perhaps overlook it. However, I have a long affiliation with the West Chester Tea Party and Tea Party groups in general, and of course, as Paul Harvey used to say, “there’s the rest of the story.” This isn’t about hate speech being expressed over a controversial speaker. But I would say this is all about the West Chester Tea Party coming out and not endorsing Lynda O’Conner for the Lakota school board and ensuring people knew about it. I wrote an article that has been seen by many thousands of people on August 27th, 2023, establishing that the West Chester Tea Party would not endorse Lynda for her next run for the school board. So just a few days later, at this September 5th meeting, supporters of Lynda were looking for something to attempt to water down that lack of endorsement because Lynda has been affiliated with the West Chester Tea Party for over a decade. And the Tea Party just didn’t become an anti-semantic group a few weeks ago.

How do I know all that? Well, because I know all the people involved and how it works. I know how phone calls are made and the favors from the media are granted. I understand that the West Chester Tea Party is an open, free-speech-oriented group and that the caricature created by an institutionalized religious group does not reflect who they are. Many tempers have flared in the background over their lack of endorsement. I’ve heard many of them myself and I just let it ride out. I can understand Lynda’s feelings being hurt, but she has brand damage that she did to herself. So getting mad at the West Chester Tea Party isn’t a rational expression of justice, but that has been the byproduct of their emphatic refusal to not endorse her. We keep hearing about how small the West Chester Tea Party is, yet so many people are concerned about what they say and when they say it as if they are rationalizing to themselves its importance in the community. But I like the Tea Party people quite a lot and know how they work, and they are as far from a hate group as you can get. But I do know they hate one thing I share with them. If hate is the correct expression, which I think it is, we all hate corruption, and this kind of story is dripping wet with just the sort of corruption that has targeted RINOs in the Republican Party, and that is the real essence of this story.

I write many articles, many of which are about religion.  Some of them, the West Chester Tea Party, has spread around their network, which is undoubtedly part of the criticism toward them by these institutionalized groups.  I’ve even specifically addressed the Jewish issue as conspiracy theorists think of it because it’s a natural part of modern politics.  I love the Jewish people and have said so many times.  Jesus was Jewish.  We wouldn’t have a Bible if not for the Jewish people.  I even recently wrote an article about why we should all participate in Jewish rituals such as eating unleavened bread.  Any criticism that was expressed falls under the general failures of institutionalism, which is a much larger issue.  And, of course, those who seek refuge in institutionalism to hide their levels of corruption are at the heart of the matter here, and the perpetrators of injustice are playing a dangerous game that is falling apart in this second decade of this new century.  The political game of controlled free speech.  To censor people based on what they say and do, as if institutionalism could control people’s thoughts through the act of peer acceptance.  This isn’t a new game; it’s an outdated one.  And the 2010s want their political games back.  Because in the increasing MAGA movement where President Trump continues to be the leader of the Republican Party, these games are exactly why there is a severe hatred of RINOs representing people in politics.  That is precisely why the West Chester Tea Party made sure to distance themselves from their long affiliation with Lynda O’Conner once they found out she was running again, because of the many mistakes she has made that they couldn’t endorse. 

We no longer live in a world where people care what the newspapers say or the television media in a city.  This idea of ruling over others with hurt feelings is what created the mess we are in presently, and what has given politics a bad name.  So, any hope that this story would destroy the West Chester Tea Party, by the established RINOs who want their party back, will only blow up in their faces.  The hope was to force anybody to crush free speech to stay within the parameters of institutionalized controls, which is expected of the West Chester Tea Party, to apologize, and condemn members with opinions.  Then, they minimize their message so that the RINO faction of the Republican Party can gain back some respect that they have lost.  Because of these games, the West Chester Tea Party is still around and a vital force that works in the background, especially for Central Committee members.  Party politics is never going back to what it used to be.  People are not happy with it.  And they certainly don’t appreciate being used by political figures to get elected, then to have those elected representatives turn away from the freedom movement, and align themselves with institutionalized politics.  And that is the merit of this entire West Chester Tea Party issue.  They have nothing to apologize for.  I think they will gain members with this news media coverage.  But more than anything, they will gain respect for their position against Lynda O’Conner and other political figures who have turned away from the Tea Party ways and hope to wipe their guilt away as Judas did after taking money to sell out Jesus.  When the responsibility doesn’t go away from the reflection in the mirror, getting rid of the mirror is all too tempting.  But the reflection comes in many forms, not just the bathroom mirror or a news media that is already a poor reflection of actuality.

Why We Should Eat Unleavened Bread: Keeping corruption out of society starting with food

It’s a good practice to have some mechanism in religion to remind you of important things, and as ridiculous as many might think, that eating leavened bread as the Jewish people have rituals against, remember one crucial thing, the descendants of the Hebrew people, of the inherited land of Israel have been around longer as a group of people on planet earth than any other groups.  They have been beaten up, killed, and spread all over the planet in displacement, but as a people, from one specific region of the world, they have remained so longer than anybody else.  So, their rituals have worked for them in many healthy ways, even if eating or not eating puffy bread is directly attributed.  In general, having some basic rules to live by from whatever religion you might happen to be is a good practice.  Not for the direct mechanisms but in that they get your mind focused on the real important things.  As it is stated often in the Bible, in consideration of many Jewish holidays, leavened bread or unleavened bread is an important ritual to invoke in their society an essential distinction between a healthy and unhealthy society.  This is certainly the case with the Jewish people and the Christian people who emerged from the kind of thinking that was quite in rebellion at the time, against the tides of the world which are playing out dramatically on the world stage today.  To surrender to the forces of nature and appeal to the sensibilities of corrupt gods and demons who plague our subconscious.  Or to rebel against those forces with deliberate laws, such as the Ten Commandments, the presentation of sexual organs, such as circumcision, and eating food at certain times of the day or year. 

Over time, in many societies, leaven came to signify corruption.  So, the feasts of unleavened bread were designed to remind people in the covenant community that they were supposed to purge sin as they celebrated redemption.  By the first century AD, the Passover and Unleavened Bread feasts were celebrated simultaneously, and their sustainability has helped the Jewish people stay organized as a community around the globe.  The actual health benefits of eating bread that has a rising agent in it or not are less the point than the psychological benefit from maintaining personal conduct with such commitments, which are obvious anywhere in the world where they are practiced.  When people from any place follow firm rules of conduct, they tend to be a much healthier society.  The question is not essential about whether God cares if we eat leavened or unleavened bread as much as we care about how we conduct ourselves and why we do what we do.  Making a purposeful decision not to do something or whether to do something has a direct connection to our success or failure as a species.  And even down to the kind of bread we eat, the proof has been observed over time that these Jewish rituals and overall, Christian views of the world have worked well against the heathen behavior of the pagan sense of sacrifice that permeates cultures that rebel against such rules and practices.  That is why we see ritual bread in religion as a little wafer, flat, and featureless consumed instead of a puffy sampling of bread.  The rising agent is supposed to represent our sense of ego.  The way to avoid corruption is to avoid applying lifting agents to the food we consume and to remind ourselves to function without such cosmetic utterances. 

Of course, it didn’t work very well in removing corruption from Jewish society; there was mass corruption from their political leaders and people in general over their long history, just as in any organization.  But the rituals at least force them to think about such things as opposed to hedonistic societies that never explore the problems that come from corruption.  A healthy culture that at least recognizes the dangerous nature of crime tends to function better than a society that ignores it, which is the entire point of unleavened bread.  Suppose there are a few times a year when an organization thinks about whether or not corruption is acceptable. In that case, it tends to impact a portion of civilization that may not fall to such temptations, and they might avoid some act of corruption when it is needed most.  And good moral conduct might save the day when other societies have no such restrictions.  Over time, the survivability of the Jewish people, no matter what anybody might think about their concept of good or life in general, can be said to have a world outlook that contributes to a prosperous society.  It may not stop evil from raiding and seeking to destroy them.  But it might keep them from killing themselves by having a way to remind their culture not to behave by embracing corruption, a lofty sense of self that can only be filled by the appeasement of others, which ultimately takes control of personal management from themselves and places it toward group consensus.  Corruption starts by seeking rising agents into your ego, a compliment from one person, or a gift from another, something that might sway you from making the best decision without inflationary considerations to alter your judgment. 

Once you can say no to unleavened bread, you can also start saying no to those who might want to bribe you or whisper sweet nothings to you to pull you away from good judgment and into self-governing, which is the key to American civilization.  In order to have self-government a person has to be able to do so, without outside forces blowing temptations that might alter the course of the individual.  The practice of not eating certain foods at certain times to keep on the top of their minds the dangers of corruption in society, in general, is an important, empowering mechanism to resist the temptations of darkness and social collapse. A community without an excellent governing philosophy will not stay a society for long, and that is certainly the mode of attack that we see being applied to America presently from lots of outside forces who want to exploit temptation for the benefit of social destruction.  Many of our current politicians, from school boards to the presidents of countries would do well to eat unleavened bread on purpose to remind themselves of the practice of avoiding corruption in their lives.  Such a position starts even with the kind of food you eat.  Once you’ve consciously made such a decision, then it becomes easier to resist that bribe from a co-worker, a donor, or a member of the media that throws enticements toward their egos to inflate them toward corruption and the appeasement of such forces at the expense of morality.  If such things could be utilized for the productive health of society in general, then we could say that things are good and value is at the core of what we do, from eating to management.  When we make purity a priority, we tend to get much better results than when such things are not recognized.  In such a fashion, any society that goes to such an extent as to eat unleavened bread to remind themselves not to fall to corruption in their lives is serious about maintaining themselves well into the future, which is where most people hope to go, but because of their personal decisions, find they too often, can’t.

What to Know About the Ken Paxton Impeachment Trial: The old power of party politics wants to be in charge again, but it never will

What anybody needs to know about the Ken Paxton impeachment trial in Texas is that he’s a MAGA supporter who has been very influential.  At the outset of the 2020 election, as the Attorney General of Texas Paxton established one of the best cases for election fraud proof, which upset all those RINOs who wanted a clean break with Trump.  So, the old Bush power in Texas put a target on Paxton’s back right away.  And recently, Paxton was going after Google over privacy issues.  So, this trial in Texas, where the House has already impeached him from his position and now the Senate is going through the process of hearing the evidence cast against him, is an old game by the old forces who are clinging to their power from MAGA challenges to their established order.  It reminds me of a case in my county within the Republican Party, where legal warfare is regularly employed to destroy political rivals.  The core of the dispute is to resist the apparent changes that are part of the MAGA movement and the hope that if those challenges are destroyed, everything will snap back into the controls of the old days.  Where the Bush family was in charge, alliances with big companies like Google could occur under the radar, and election fraud could be conducted in the open, and nobody would question it.  It is interesting to watch, especially as RINO Republicans have attempted to shame Paxton with references to an affair he had that was well settled before any of these current issues emerged, which are being used to attack his character.  People see through it that it’s essentially the same type of case thrown at President Trump, and the results will be the same.

The Ken Paxton trial in Texas is an ongoing legal battle that has captured the attention of many across the United States. The problem centers around allegations of securities fraud against the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton. The case has been controversial, with many questioning the motives behind the investigation and subsequent charges. At the heart of the matter is the accusation that Ken Paxton committed securities fraud by encouraging investors to buy stock in a technology company without disclosing that he was receiving compensation for the recommendation. The case has been mired in legal battles and delays, with Paxton’s lawyers arguing that the charges should be dismissed due to a lack of evidence. As it is going, the case against Paxton has been weak at best, with the best parts of it involving going to the FBI with no evidence, just accusations. And if there were any merit to the case, the Biden DOJ would have picked it up because they want to take down Paxton for his election case against the federal handling of the 2020 election. But there was nothing there, leaving the entire issue to the flimsy holdovers of the Bush legacy control over Texas. So everything is coming out petty instead of having any good legal standing. As bad as it all is to attempt to impeach an attorney general by his party, over essentially, nothing but to get rid of a member of MAGA in the power politics of Texas, the attempt says far more than any of the evidence does that has been established against Paxton. We have uncovered a monster that we always knew was there but has emerged in the wake of Trump in the White House and the distinct fear that he will return, with people like Paxton gaining power.

I see these fights all over the country, and they are happening in just about every county.  As I have said about my county of Butler County, this is the number one issue challenging everyone.  Many supported Trump during his first term because he was in power then, but they held their nose and couldn’t wait for him to be removed from office, which they cheered for when they thought nobody was looking.  In the wake of one of the most massive crimes in world history, which was the stolen election of 2020, and the Covid release of a bioweapon against the public to allow for cheating to occur, no matter who was harmed in the process, you could see clearly where people were politically.  Many put on masks and surrendered everything to the health administrators, hoping that a superior power, more significant than Trump, would knock him out of office.  These are the same people who, just months before, would gut their mothers for a chance to get a VIP pass to a Trump event and stand next to him for a picture.  I watched all this action with curiosity.  And over the last three years, it has been obvious what they were up to all along: they wanted to go back to the regional powers, such as what the Bush family has over Texas.  And there is always some family like that all over the nation, and they were pleased to snap back into that control in the wake of Trump.  They wanted their power back, so anybody expressing Trump-like opinions now that Biden was in the White House were a target, and everyone expected Trump to be gone forever, in favor of some controlled asset like Ron DeSantis, they bet everything on that future.  And that isn’t what’s happening.

I tried to explain this to many people at our Lincoln Day dinner in Butler County, Ohio, after Ron DeSantis had just come and spoken to everyone.  Many were hoping that DeSantis was going to be the Trump killer.  I told them that Ron was going nowhere, which is precisely what has happened.  I found it surprising that nobody wanted to talk about Trump.  And those who did, and we saw this same kind of radicalism on the Lakota school board, where the former Trump supporters were quick to adjust to this new Biden world as if the former Republican president had never happened.  It was as if some great eraser would come along and put all the people who wanted power back in charge forever.  It was a bizarre exchange.  On that school board, the Lynda O’Conner’s of the world wanted to destroy the Darbi Boddys over essential political philosophy, establishment against MAGA.  And now there is panic in those groups because they have bet everything on the old forces destroying these new rivals.  All the political hits have not beaten their enemies; it has only made them stronger, just like what is happening with Trump.  And, of course, what is happening to Ken Paxton.  The frustration is that Paxton will emerge from this impeachment process with more political power, which is the case with all these traditional attacks.  The old games no longer work; people don’t like the kind of society that we have had with them in charge, such as the Bush family or the DeWine clan in Ohio.  People want better political parties to represent them, not those who make deals with Google to ruin our country, destroy our Constitution, and tell us that we’ll all be better after the compromises.  That them selling us out to foreign interests was to our advantage somehow.  But many have realized that the political parties, especially RINO Republicans, have not been good for us, and we want real change.  And we’re not going to accept sell-outs.  We’ve given them a chance in the past, and we are now forever against their further attempts.  And that they can get rid of Trump, Ken Paxton, or even regionally, Darbi Boddy or Roger Reynolds, and people will still be upset with the lackluster RINOs.  They will never regain their old power, and in the future, they will only be more and more resented.  That is the future of politics; we want more like Ken Paxton and fewer Jeb Bushes.  We want people who represent us, not some ruling-class aristocracy.  And those needs will only increase in the future; we will never go back to the old days that caused all these problems in the first place.

There is No Court Case Involving the 14th Amendment: Trump was the official government at the time, he couldn’t have an insurrection against himself

I’m happy to provide the ultimate reason that the 14th Amendment cannot be used against President Trump to keep him off the ballot for the 2024 election.  There has been a lot of legal opinion on this new strategy from the Marxist left because they’ve seen the internals and know that Trump is winning much more than what is being reported in the media.  That’s why they are panicking.  There was no alternative plan when the actual insurrection occurred in 2020, and Trump was removed from the White House by a government-sponsored coup.  And which one you might ask?  Pick one of the many, from the FBI actions of insurrection to the many provable occurrences of outright election fraud.  To the Russiagate manipulations.  There was plenty of very illegal activity that has yet to be prosecuted.  But they all are violations of the 14th Amendment that the political left and some RINOs from the right are trying to pin on Trump now to keep him from being able to run in 2024.  The real issue is that Trump was the established government at the time, so how could he have an insurrection against himself?  All Trump did was question the actions of an official insurrection that the opposing political party was coordinating.  And those types of coups were happening in other parts of the world where communism and socialism were trying to seize power.  So, out of desperation in America, and with the help of a complicit media that wanted Marxism in America, they tried the same thing.  Only it didn’t work quite the same way.  And this ultimately will result from all the cases established against Trump and his direct reports in the White House, such as Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon.  The assumption of all the charges filed as they have been assumes that Trump was the insurgent when it was the other way around. 

The desperation for turning to the 14th Amendment is quite telling, actually, and shows just how flimsy even the most astute legal minds have had to dig into attempting to give the Marxist radicals who want to continue to use the power of government for their global strategic plans, any leg to stand on.  My essential formula for solving most modern problems is straightforward: Guns, The Bible, The Constitution, and Trump.  Those four things will make America Great Again, again if used as intended.  And the desperation of using the Constitution to keep Trump from running in 2024 is ironic.  The people who are trying to overthrow all power in America are turning toward the rule of law as their weapon.  But that’s not what it says in the 14th Amendment Section 3.  The references to a political officeholder inspiring an insurrection have no place with Trump, as Trump was the government.  He was the one with his hands on the reigns of power.  The grand illusion being used against all Trump defendants is their attempt to ignore that Trump was ever in office and had government power under his complete control.  From January 2017 to January 2021, Trump was the third branch of government, the Executive Branch, popularly elected by the people of America, despite the many rigged elections that were clearly established to prevent him or anybody else from beating Hillary Clinton.  The actual insurrection was that the government forces who lost power when Trump was elected staged a coup which ultimately, with direct involvement from the intelligence community, tried to prevent the people’s will from being known.  They underestimated that enthusiasm the first time, in 2016.  And in 2020, they wouldn’t.

Under the cover of COVID-19, they changed the election laws that would allow them to cheat massively, and many tens of thousands of people were involved, knowingly.  And they openly plotted and schemed against the established government the entire time that Trump was in office.  They didn’t just say, “auh shucks, we’ll try next time.”  No, they worked to commit actual insurrection against Trump’s government to remove him from power the way we have seen occur worldwide with various communist takeovers, precisely the same way.  And with all of them, the assumption was that they would not recognize the Trump presidency as valid, nor any trace of executive privilege, because to do that, the Trump administration would have to be identified as the official government at the time.  And to pretend that it never happened.  That is the essential legal premise of all these cases against Trump.  And it can’t be that way because once you compromise for one point, all cases fall apart.  Which the communist insurgents who want to take over the American government might think is appealing until the same gets applied to them.  This is why the Constitution is such a powerful document.  What they say it says is not what it says.  They only hope that people are too stupid to read it for themselves, but to hold up in court, the case falls apart fast, which is good because it shows how weak all their attempts against Trump are going into 2024.  This is all they have everyone, a year away from the election, which isn’t good for them.  What is concerning is that so many people are letting them attempt such a thing, which means the hair in the drain of the swamp that Trump represents draining is much thicker and involves many more Republican RINOs than many of us are comfortable admitting. 

For all those legal people out there, you’re welcome.  I’m always happy to help.  The case’s merit is not whether Trump inspired an insurrection with his words to the public after the opposing government showed signs of a rigged election.  It was clear to many what happened, especially during that year with Covid driving the behavior and the still very uncomfortable evidence about the purposeful release of the virus as a bioweapon to commit election fraud and give more global power to the efforts of the Great Reset at the World Economic Forum, hiding behind the façade of the United Nations.  We were dealing with a worldwide insurrection, and Trump was in the way.  But regarding the official government of the United States, Trump was that figure when an “insurrection” occurred.  So, he couldn’t have had an insurrection against himself.  It came from those who opposed him, who are now the same people trying to prevent the people’s voices from being heard in another election.  They knew how to seize power in 2020 because the numbers were not with them.  And without COVID to hide behind this time, they are trying to take Trump away as an option to even vote for because that’s how desperate they are.  Their entire strategy is to ignore that Trump was ever the representative of the government and hope that they can perverse the wording of the 14th Amendment if only they threaten to firebomb the homes of Supreme Court members and intimidate them into seeing the law from the perspective of radical Marxists.  That is their entire game plan.  And it’s as flimsy as it sounds, even though media members don’t have enough confidence in their reading ability to understand the Constitution themselves.  There is nothing to the 14th Amendment case against Trump, and ironically, it opens up the Trump people to be able to pursue the insurgents who were the real problem.  Their legal counsel would serve them better if they started to look at things from that perspective instead of reacting off the back of their heels.  These are easy cases that are only puffed-up bluster from the actual government insurgents, who have seized power and now have the White House and are desperate to do anything to keep that power, which is what this entire case is all about.

Let’s Talk About God: Understanding the Politics of Heaven

For further conversations, it’s time to talk seriously about God and the politics of Heaven and, in general, everlasting life.  A lot of people think that death is the end of it all, but I would argue that it’s just the beginning, and part of the point of life is to grow into something that can function well in the existence of a multidimensional political universe, because as it is in Heaven, so it is on Earth.  The original sin was that God created man in his image because he wanted a family who would rule on his behalf over the Earth in ways that always had the eternal perspective in mind, and in that way, humanity was created to be over angels and demons relative to the Divine Council as it is talked about in the Bible many places, especially Psalm 82.  This is important because to understand the fight we have today, politically, we have to get our minds around the concept of God and not think of him as a solitary figure sitting on a thrown in everlasting life waiting for everyone to go to Heaven and sit around in the pearly gates to do “something” for the rest of eternity.  We tend to view Heaven as a destination at the end of the tunnel of life.  But I think that’s just where the battles begin, and what we see on earth are reflections of that eternal life, and God, Yahweh, has always been under pressure to manage the vast populations of eternal existence.  And that is why the Fall in the Garden was such a tragic occasion for him, which he has spent many thousands of years trying to resolve to his satisfaction.  That might seem strange for an entity that created the universe and everything in it.  But there is more to the story regarding the challenge of free will that is ultimately the point. 

We all know the story of the Garden of Eden, where the snake tempted Eve to eat from the Tree of Good and Evil.  This is the fruit of the lesser Gods, those in the pantheon at that time, for which Yahweh managed within this universal spectrum but constantly tried to undermine his authority.  Those Gods would be characters who had been around for many tens of thousands of years before the biblical period we are talking about here, gods like Baal, Moloch, Ishtar, Marduk, and a long list of the same names that would be called other names in other countries such as Greece, Egypt, and the Americas, but would be the same essential characters.  Yahweh was trying to do something different, and the rebellion on the Divine Council was certainly intent to challenge his authority, just as we see in our political order, which we can say reflects the actions of eternal life.  Of course, once God’s creation had eaten from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and become like “them,” the gods of the Divine Council, they had to be cast away for God to try again and again to make the human experiment work by comprehending the aspects of Eternal Life that God intended for humanity.  Not the kind of stuff they teach you in Sunday school or Church.  But if you dig into scripture and read what it tells us from thousands of years of interpretation and analysis, things start to appear much more as they indeed are. In that case, the world opens up much differently for those with the courage to eat from that Tree of Eternal Life. 

Humans couldn’t handle such a task, so they were thrown out of the Garden guarded now by Cherubim, creatures that have a recurring theme in ancient times.  And eventually, because they fell from grace and were now functioning in the politics of the lesser Gods, such as Baal, God wiped them all away with the flood story, which is very much the same story we find in the Epic of Gilgamesh.  Noah and his family are God’s chosen people, and they try to start the Garden story once more.  Only to fail when people attempted to build the Tower of Babel, again setting their sights on the kind of mistakes the Divine Council had made for thousands of years.  God came along and scrambled their speech so they could no longer build the Tower of Babel to reach Heaven.  And Yahweh sent them to the corners of the earth to separate them politically from one another.  But God doesn’t give up on this experiment with humans. Instead, he turns to Abraham and decides to make a new people from his line, which becomes the generations of Israel, Moses, King David, King Solomon, and the like.  But again, once Solomon died, his children fell to the temptations of Baal and the gang, so God allowed Nebuchadnezzar to raid his people and punish them for their discourse, which was their political alignment and worship of the lesser gods of the Divine Council.  Understanding that Divine Council, it helps to read from the ancient literature that comes out of Syria and modern-day Iraq.  No wonder those areas are war-torn today; the conflict is a mask of the truth.  Governments always want to think they are in charge as they completely are creatures eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.  From there, after 70 years, God allows the people of Israel to rebuild and continue again, but of course, they fail, so he sends Jesus, his representation on earth, to be sacrificed like just another lamb out of Nazareth to solve the political problem with that Divine Council once and for all.

God’s problem, which is eternal, is how to get people to do the right thing of their own free will.  God could undoubtedly punish them and impose his desires through force.  But the divine experiment and the intentions of God’s purpose, and therefore, the meaning of life, is to create religious partners who can function for what’s right as interpreted by an eternal perspective.  Not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, the political world of the Divine Council.  But the infinite aspects of all existence, as the universe knows and understands it.  God was looking for reflections of him and his intent to do on Earth as it is in Heaven and to share rule with such creations.  To say God has struggled with the Divine Council might seem odd, but the problem is free will, whether talking about people or angels, demons, and the pantheon of maniacal characters of eternal existence.  Life and death is not the goal of these considerations, but free will is.  And it is free will that is at the core of the American experiment, and it is the suppression of that free will that the world is attempting to stop presently in our political world.  But the root cause of the problem is an ancient one, considering the fall in the garden and why it was so tragic to God.  Because the politics of the Divine Council sought to corrupt the effort from the beginning, those characters would not allow God to create beings superior to them, such as humans were designed to be.  To hatch from life into death as reflections of God himself and to rule over the Divine Council.  And once that is understood, much of the trouble of our current time can be comprehended more fully.

Why I Won’t Support Lynda O’Conner for the Lakota School Board: There is a storm coming and it won’t be pretty

Of course, we are going to have this fight in Butler County, Ohio. It’s happening globally, nationally, statewide, and regionally. Look what Ken Paxten is going through with the Bush political machine in Texas right now. We find the same kind of problem regarding issues on the Lakota school board: populism as opposed to machine politics. The main reason I can’t support Lynda O’Conner for the school board is due to her performance, which has been rooted in machine politics that has stood against the kind of reforms education needs.  She has her role in the nasty storm that is about to hit, and rather than trying to destroy fellow school board member Darbi Boddy personally, she should have been preparing the community for what’s about to happen.  I know many people are getting caught up in the Rs and the Ds, even though school board people are supposed to be nonpartisan.  We know from experience that such a concept is far from the truth.  And based on partisanship, I don’t see any difference between Lynda O’Conner, Julie Shaffer, or Doug Horton.  They all would fit nicely in Kathy Wyenandt’s living room as like-minded Democrats.  Lynda has called herself a conservative, and she has a network that leans in that direction, but her behavior has been more on the side of Kathy Wyenandt’s pro-government school posse of progressive insurgents and far from small government and fiscally conservative values of the GOP.  All the intimidating phone calls, going through people’s garbage, messing with their utilities, or property ownership with useless bureaucracy attempting to show power over the anti-Lynda forces can’t change what she has done.  She has told me what I wanted to hear in the past, yet she has behaved in the opposite direction, and those are not traits that can be endorsed.  She brought us Darbi Boddy, then immediately, as soon as she was sworn in, turned on Darbi in excessively unhealthy ways, not showing good leadership at all.  And now Lakota has a lot of problems looming on the horizon, and because of the time she has been on the board and what she has chosen to do with her time over the last two years, any rational mind would be crazy to endorse her.  I was hoping she wouldn’t run and that she would point her interests in a different direction, such as a trustee position.  But she has done the worst thing possible: running again when strategically it makes no sense, so now we must have a difficult conversation. 

I’ve heard it all before: We must have Republicans on the school board, and these conversations have occurred in name only.  Like some sports player who wears any team’s jersey, they are told to play against, without true loyalty to any team.  The brand damage associated with Lynda will be very damaging in the months and years to come.  I was at an event recently where some very smart political people were talking, and one of these particular people was right about this “perfect storm” that is about to hit.  But we disagree on what role Lynda should play in it as an endorsed candidate of the Republican Party.  I would advise that the GOP doesn’t touch this one with a 50-foot pole and let the Democrats choke on it because the storm is an act of their creation, and Lakota can do nothing to avoid it.  I’m not against the GOP endorsing candidates.  A GOP endorsement is powerful enough to do as it has in the past, but with two more good Republicans on the school board; otherwise, we’ll end up with union stooges.  But for one of those two endorsements to be Lynda is a problem because the candidate might as well be one of the many liberals of Butler County who know they would never otherwise get elected to anything unless they were affiliated with the Republican Party. 

The time to deal with this story would have been over the last few years when Lynda picked a fight with Darbi over, essentially, political power, and now the kicking the can down the road is leading to catastrophic circumstances.  Obviously, it would have been better for Lynda not to be near a school board when these things hit the fan.  But nobody listened, so the brand damage is going to be devastating.  Nobody will be able to say I didn’t warn them.   The best thing to do would be to throw this election to the Democrats.  That doesn’t change any positive support for Russ Loges, who I think will be a great school board member.  Darbi could use help, and Isaac can decide whatever he wants to do.  But a teacher’s contract is coming, and they will want more money.  There is a facilities plan that looks like it will legitimately cost a billion dollars over the next 20 years.  Of course, that is attractive to people in construction, but it’s a vast, expensive commitment to a school system that is changing rapidly with school choice options that will become more dominant soon.  This isn’t something that just occurred; the school board has been discussing this facility plan since Brad Lovell was president of the school board, and Lynda was looking for help dealing with him.  It’s been a long time; meanwhile, Lakota has burned through its surplus and worked up the community toward a tax increase.  The problem is that property value assessments are increasing significantly due to state auditor complications.  So, the amount of taxation from those increased property value assessments will be significant.  Not the environment that makes for a healthy community passing tax increases to support a government school.  Then, of course, the national political challenges with inflation, supply chain issues at the grocery, and general temperament have brought pain to everyday people.  These next few years are going to be rough. 

I would have advised Lynda to ride off into the sunset after 16 years.  Instead of digging in and picking a fight with Darbi Boddy because she didn’t fall under the control of the school board president like other members did in the past.  And now there is a whole political faction within the Republican Party that is very angry at Lynda.  And with all the intimidation techniques employed, it has only dug them in deeper.  And they will continue to make their voices heard.  Instead of working to solve those genuine problems, we have significant fractures that will be very destructive.  Things would have been different if anybody was willing to play a little chess.  The blame for this would be much better placed where it belongs, around the neck of Julie Shaffer or Doug Horton.  But if Lynda is the endorsed candidate, it will likely end up around her neck, which isn’t good for her.  And everyone supporting her will end up with eggs on their faces during a crisis period that will need a lot of leadership.  This happens when you mix political philosophies in the way things have been done at Lakota.  It is far better to have apparent political disagreements and to let the losing side be obvious than to let a GOP member burn at the stake with everyone else.  And that is what kicking the can down the road financially for over twenty years will cost, which won’t be good for anybody.  Lakota is not a quarter of a billion-dollar business with Lynda running it.  It’s instead a quarter of a billion-dollar lottery ticket for the unions that have the power to distribute that pile of money collected by property tax owners that is spent on liberal political issues.  And as all that hits the fan, it would have been best to have distance politically from the destruction that will follow.  That is why I won’t support Lynda O’Conner for the Lakota school board.  I would have supported her for trustee or some other position.  But not for this mess, which occurred on her watch, actions she did not provide the leadership necessary when it was needed most.

The Need for Speed in American Management: Fast Draw is the perfect sport to understand the benefits of capitalism

I had a good shooting season this year, as is usually the case.  Over the Labor Day weekend, there was one that I look forward to each year specifically.  I go all over the region to attend these gun-fighting competitions and meet many different people to satisfy my obsession with speed, which has been with me for a lifetime.  Cowboy Fast Draw is a unique sport that is very popular, and it should get a lot more news coverage.  But since it’s guns and a deliberate reverence toward a specifically American lifestyle, many woke media won’t touch it in even casual ways.  But not doing so is very disingenuous to American culture, which is the point of social rejection.  It would be like avoiding discussing knighthood in Europe or the samurai in Japan.  Gunfighting in America is one of those core elements that almost everyone can relate to, but the forces hostile to our country want desperately to remove it from people’s minds.  So we have these competitions all over the United States that are very well attended and increasing in popularity, yet many people don’t even know about them.  The shooting season occurs mainly during the warm months, from April to around October.  For me, the one over Labor Day in Darke County, Ohio, is usually the last, so it has a special meaning.  There are a few more in October and November, but I’m often too busy to get to them.  My reason for getting to as many as possible is that they are very positive experiences.  I think about many things that don’t make much sense in everyday life, but all the pieces come together nicely at Fast Draw events.  In the Labor Day of 2023 competition, I received a very hard-won award with significant meaning, and you can read the faces.  A lot is going on with these kinds of things. 

I see Fast Draw as a lot like golf; you get together with friends and see how low your score can be over some time. Gunfights usually last all day, so it’s not a one-and-done endeavor. It requires long, sustained skill that is repeatable. But unlike golf, this is a timed sport. You are forced to react as quickly as possible to the target, making this kind of competition very unusual and American. I like many things, including golf, but there are many things extraordinary about Fast Draw that I find very beneficial personally. Particularly when it comes to metaphors for speed, in regular life, where people don’t show up for gunfights with their guns on their hips and all the special equipment you get to mess around with to play the sport, there are lots of excuses for why things don’t happen or can’t. I find the typical labor position that has come out of the Department of Labor in government particularly repulsive, and since COVID was introduced to liberals, and they have used the potential for sickness not to do any work, my frustrations with the world have only increased dramatically. I do not look for excuses for anything. I think production is beautiful, but most of the world is looking for reasons, and the more liberalism in a culture, the more excuses that culture has for things that they think cannot be done. The attitude is, “If you want to do something right, you should take your time,” assumes that the faster you go at something, the worse the quality of the endeavor. In that way, the labor market that has evolved with lots of Marxism has sought to do less work and do it slower, rather than the classic American approach, which is faster and more accurate.

The reason that gunfighters in classic American Westerns were so obsessed with being faster than the other fighter is the proper metaphor for American culture, where the expectations for everything was tight. Capitalism evolved in America under the premise of speed. And, of course, the speed wasn’t of much value if accuracy wasn’t a part of the story. Of all the sports out there, Fast Draw is the fastest sport. It has elements of many popular sports, mainly drag racing. But there is nothing faster than Fast Draw, where the main objective is drawing a gun and hitting a target with a wax bullet in under half a second. And what I learn from watching different shooters from different places around the country is fascinating. And very refreshing. In the business world, slowness has been embraced because of all the socialist, communist, and under-all philosophies of Marxism running in the background, dripping wet in the compliance culture. Those who make the rules that human resource departments must follow load assumptions against the speed that a company can operate, and too often, people unthinkingly follow without pushing back against the essential premise. And it can be very frustrating to deal with, especially if you think about it, which most people avoid. In golf, you can take your time with the game and are often rewarded for going slower, so many people in business assume that slower is better and that success means making that adjustment. But from the perspective of my favorite sport, Fast Draw faster is better, and the management of speed and accuracy measures success and failure.

There are a lot of essential lessons in Fast Draw that should be directly applied to the business world, which is why I wrote a book on the subject, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business.  You must remove as much nonsense from the process to get the speed you need in the sport.  The more motion, the more steps, and the more variables there are, the slower your time will be.  And under pressure, you still must be able to hit the target.  You don’t have time to be casual.  Most of the winning times in the sport are around a quarter of a second to a half a second.  So, the pressure to achieve speed will expose anything unnecessary.  And that’s how it should be in business, whether it’s a drive-through window at a fast-food restaurant or selling a new car to a customer.  You might have noticed that since COVID-19 and the Biden administration has been in the White House, things have slowed down significantly in America.  The business world expects to go slower and blame the supply chain upstream for failure.  This is a very un-American concept, one of the biggest problems of the modern age.  And it’s very different in 2023 than in 2019 before Covid came along.  Yet, without measuring things with speed and accuracy, people might not notice that the value system was slow and, ultimately, communism with low-performance expectations.  The more Fast Draw events I go to, the more hope I have for the world because I can see people who know how vital speed is to modern culture.  Not just dressing up in gunfighter garments and paying reverence to the Old West.  I appreciate the shooters I meet and their “need for speed,” which is specifically American.  And it certainly gives me hope for the future when I see how hungry people are to win at Fast Draw.  Because if they can figure out that balance in that sport, they may do well in real life in ways that capitalism best reflects.

The World Economic Forum Stepped Over the Line: Trust is hard to win and easy to lose, and they have lost it

Something significant is happening that is very obvious, but little has been made of it; people are generally waking up to the malicious intentions of Bill Gates and his friends in the World Economic Forum.  People are now looking for the sideshow games where crimes against humanity have been committed, and Klaus Schwab and the economic Marxist terrorists of the world are not prepared for the wrath that is coming their way, which was most evident in the wake of the Maui wildfires.  Well, at this point, we should call it the Maui arson that destroyed a town that had been discussed as a satellite city for the World Economic Forum’s 15-minute cities.  The best way to build one is to destroy the old one, which looks to be the case here.  A few years ago, nobody would have asked any questions.  Conspiracy theorists would have voiced their opinions, but the mainstream media would have poured cold water on them, and the public would have accepted the controlled narrative.  But not any longer, not since Covid ruined the trust of public officials, and now three years of Biden have shocked people into observing the obvious.  The World Economic Forum has gone too far, and the shock to the world has been a degraded impression.  I noticed something similar when Microsoft, run by Bill Gates, released Windows 95, which was not as well received as Windows 3.1.  And ever since, Microsoft has been further scrutinized to the point it is today.  A necessary evil that people generally don’t trust.  Just as they no longer trust Bill Gates.  That is the case with everyone connected to the World Economic Forum.  People are onto the games and now see them being played everywhere, not conspiratorial, but in the logical way the bad guys have always tried to hide from the public. 

I said that the truth about the Maui fires would emerge in the aftermath as we watched what people did.  As it turns out, the power company had been trying to maintain its infrastructure, but the emphasis was on woke policies for renewables, straight from the World Economic Forum’s radical agenda.  And the power company had turned off the power hours before the fire started, so how could a spark from them set off the blaze?  There are a lot of unanswered questions that only point to terrorist activity, not a natural occurrence or an accident from the power company due to infrastructure failure.  I have seen that same radicalism in my state of Ohio regarding FirstEnergy.  On the one hand, they have adopted all these woke rules to appease the climate terrorists, making them the target of a hostile public upset at the changes.  But then the climate terrorists are trying to set up the power companies for complete failure and are looking to drive them out of business.  It’s the classic gun-to-the-head robber who forces someone they are holding up to do what they are told, only to be shot dead after they’ve handed over all their money.  These climate terrorists doing their deeds for the World Economic Forum behind the efforts of the United Nations are playing for keeps, which looks to be the kind of set-up job in Maui.  But the public is aware of the game, and they instantly rejected the official narratives for the fire and went straight for the developers who have promised to rebuild as a “city of tomorrow” as the instigators of so much death and destruction.  If it can happen in Maui, then it could happen everywhere. 

The bad guys in the world have been doing these things for a long time, destroying the planet and rebuilding it in their version of “Build Back Better.”  That kind of terminology was already being stamped on liberal t-shirts before there was a Joe Biden in the White House, but after Covid was a major overstep by Bill Gates and the gang, they didn’t seem to realize that it was a step too far.  And now people have lost trust in the officials that the World Economic Forum has worked so hard to capture.  But now that they have the power, they have lost the public’s faith and don’t seem to understand why.  Their entire plan, just like every version of Windows ever released that was supposed to be better than the first, has consistently failed in some way because they could never quite get it right.  Power is hard; it’s easy to make a misstep, and that is what we are dealing with now.  Climate terrorists were just caught starting fires in Greece to attempt to evoke an environmental message, and now that fires are breaking out all over the world frequently, it’s not a natural occurrence that people expect.  The first thought is climate terrorism by these radical Marxists inspired by the members of the World Economic Forum who plan to profit off the carnage and then build what they want.  There’s one sure way to overcome the kind of city opposition that building a 15-minute city would typically involve.  Just burn it down and kill all the people who would oppose it.  Then blame the power company you are also trying to put out of business because they use fossil fuels in capitalist markets.  That game has been going on for too long, and many people have suffered.

The public outrage is very energetic on social media.  How much of it gets outside the algorithms tightly controlled by the Deep State is an issue for debate.  Typically, discussions against the administrators of the Deep State and the members of the World Economic Forum who have a lot of money that they think buys their governments don’t get outside of the circular firing squad of specific groups that are easily monitored by the powerful forces who think they are in charge.  But the word is getting out anyway, and ordinary people now see the obvious.  They are asking the right questions that are no longer conspiracies but honest observations that have lingered in the background.  People might have been shy about expressing those opinions, but now they are open.  And regarding the Maui fires, there is actual hostility that is well-founded.  People don’t like to be suckered, and they feel suckered.  Bill Gates has shown the same kind of stupidity with his climate change activism that he did with Windows releases.  Everything worked for him as long as he had a monopoly on opinion.  But once people could think for themselves, which started happening with Windows 95, the value of their Microsoft products began to diminish.  People would put up with it to get along, but they weren’t suddenly yearning for the product.  And that same thing has happened to the losers in the World Economic Forum.  They thought people would want what they were selling: globalism, climate change, a godless, overly sexualized heathen society of sweaty losers looking to them as gods.  But, what they have been caught doing was acting as the latest terrorists, no different from the old hippie Weather Underground radicals.  Instead of operating out of the back of a pot-filled, rusting van playing Beatles eight-track tapes, they are billionaires like Bill Gates who have lost their minds, if they ever really had them.
