The Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Vanessa Wells and Against Lakota Schools: Lawyers run these public enterprises and that has to end

I think the courts are a poor substitute for dueling.  We’ve tried to bring a civil discourse to conflict management, but it hasn’t worked, and that is undoubtedly the lesson at Lakota.  We tried to help that public school in Butler County, Ohio.  But they are infested with dangerous progressive policies and expensive legal advice, which they have been wasting money on for years.  And they got caught in a lot of mess over the last few years, which I think only goes in one direction.  Once President Trump is back in the White House, there will be significant reforms to how schools are funded and managed, starting with the Department of Education, and lots of things will change in the public school system and the lawyers who run them.  And to that point, a small window of that kind of change was seen when the Vanessa Wells case against Lakota schools was heard by the Supreme Court of Ohio and found that Lakota had been deceptive in their attempts to conceal information from the public and they awarded Vanessa her information request and legal fees reimbursed.  It’s a story many of us thought from the beginning Vanessa Wells would win.  She’s brilliant on legal matters and is more intelligent about attorney issues than most practicing lawyers.  So they weren’t prepared for her and a small army of diligent moms, one of which did get elected to the school board, which caused them all kinds of problems.  Because they weren’t prepared for opinions, they couldn’t control those opinions through their standard practice of restricted public disclosure.  The Supreme Court of Ohio found that Lakota had acted unlawfully in its desire to conceal public disclosure regarding the actions of their superintendent at the time, Matt Miller, who eventually resigned over his actions once his bizarre threats of lawsuits did not gain traction.

When it was learned through a police report the kind of life that the superintendent was living, many parents didn’t want to pay his salary.  This issue won’t go away; there will be a lot more of this in the future, especially now that the Supreme Court has ruled the way it has in this Wells case.  I happen to know Vanessa very well.  Interestingly, many of my personal friends are involved in Supreme Court cases, but this one was big, and the case law that spawns off it indicates the future of education.  Essentially, public entities do not get to conceal information important to managing their taxpayer-funded endeavors.  Lakota schools got caught trying to hide the bad behavior of its employees from the public, which was revealed clearly in the email correspondence that the superintendent’s lawyer tried to enforce on a community they didn’t respect.  There was a lot of talk at the time that Matt Miller was going to sue the Lakota school system as he was still employed as the superintendent over harassment by the school board led by Darbi Boddy.  To make a long story short, the school board is the management body represented by the community and is supposed to have control of all these radical lefty employees in these public schools.  But what was revealed through this process, and because Darbi Boddy pushed the issue in less than polite ways, was the level of manipulation that truly goes on in the background by lawyers who run the schools.  The school boards are only there, in all public school districts, to give the illusion of public disclosure, the issue of civilian oversight that I have been talking about recently a lot.  Because it is at the heart of the problem in just about everything we discuss regarding government.  Over the summer, I have been a foreman on a grand jury, and that is the same kind of case there.  All the lawyers involved play a game of respecting civilian oversight while they work in the background to completely rule as unelected bureaucrats at every level, with what they think are complicated legalisms that only they understand. 

Working with Vanessa and Darbi, along with many other people, many of them excellent legal minds, we learned a lot about where the actual costs at Lakota schools go and how they seek to protect a kind of Never Trumper political agenda with ruthless zeal. Significantly, what was done to Darbi Boddy to get her off the school board and defend themselves from what is an inevitable future of public disclosure.  But part of that process was this little game that was exploited by the letter Lakota tried to conceal from the public where the lawyers are showing they are really in charge of the school, and their defense of avoiding public scrutiny was to threaten to sue all of us involved, and ultimately the school itself by the sitting superintendent who mistakenly felt that he had a right to privacy as a public employee that he did not have.  Vanessa and I received a similar lawsuit letter, which played out over this period, as did several others who were involved in having an opinion about the lifestyle choices of the superintendent that we found objectionable and even dangerous to children.  Vanessa, Darbi, and many others have spent a lot of money on legal bills to defend themselves from this public school’s poor management practices.  I laughed off the threat as ridiculously stupid and handled my legal matters on my own.  I approach those kinds of things to treat it like I do when I fix my cars.  I wouldn’t say I like professional opinions; I want to do it myself when something breaks because nobody, in my opinion, can do it as well as I can.  I work with many lawyers; if I need to, I’ll use them as a bandwidth issue.  But this case was clear to me at the start, and the purposeful attack by the legal people involved in Lakota were obvious constitutional violations, and I knew any court challenge would fall apart at the first stages of review. 

We’ve also seen this same strategy play out in national politics. It is undoubtedly a progressive trend that has been floating around legal firms for decades, and it came unraveled at Lakota schools in ways that only confirmed my worst suspicions.  When the threat came to us, Vanessa and I talked about it while I was on vacation with my family in a really nice place as we bought everyone ice cream on a scenic waterfront.  I became furious because such a silly matter was disrupting my time with my family, so I made a point to ensure everyone was paid back for that incursion in my life.  But what was so audacious about the threats was their designs to keep the public out of their business, so bad things could happen without any civilian oversight.  And the Supreme Court saw it the way I knew it would that day, buying ice cream for my family.  But to the level that these lawyers have even hoodwinked the school board members, that was shocking, and I learned about all of them far more than I wanted to know in this process.  And that system won’t be allowed to continue, I can say that.  However, there is a process, and the Trump election is the next point of interest.  Electing more school board members only to have the legal people attack them and toss them off so they can avoid civilian oversight isn’t going to be tolerated.  And that is what this Supreme Court case of Ohio essentially means.  And the angry moms out there know it.

Civilian Oversight is the Key to Everything: Without it, corruption rules the world

So, what’s at the heart of the world’s trouble presently, and how do we fix it?  What is the meaning of a book like Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia?  What can we possibly do about it all? How can we hope to fight it?  Well, that’s an easy question to answer.  And it is the key to all the political turmoil we are experiencing presently.  It all comes down to a respect of civilian oversight over governments and authorities.  Those who do not want to be under the scrutiny of civilian oversight run to groups to protect themselves from the results of their ambitions, like the Vatican, the mob, and even in government jobs who use the power of collectivism to hide their menace from the public, like the CIA.  It’s far more complicated than all that, but in Operation Gladio by Paul Williams, we at least get a good view of the problem and its history.  Operation Gladio goes back to formation just after World War II, when many bad things happened, especially with the formation of the United Nations.  Because those European countries and other places in the world do not have a notion of civilian oversight in their cultures, as promised by the American Constitution.  What makes the American Constitution so powerful is its admission that authority figures, if given power over others, will abuse that power 100% of the time.  So, civilian oversight is always needed to preserve integrity.  Without that scrutiny, corruption always happens.  It is the conflict to eradicate civilian oversight that the world is most hungry for presently because of what was revealed by President Trump’s presidency.  Respect for the people who put you in power is the core debate.  Many in the world, especially in the United States Washington D.C. culture, want to believe they can rule over the masses like some classed aristocracy rather than a jury of their peers. 

China has tried to pressure America into following communism because they say it’s more efficient.  Look what a government can do when it doesn’t have to deal with civilian oversight, and instead, the power of government can take a house and destroy a family through communism.  And do whatever it wants for society’s general good, as determined by those running it.  If any civilian or other familiar person thinks it has power over the government, the government will have the power to show them otherwise.  At the core of that debate is the attempt to grab guns in America and eradicate concepts of free speech and gun rights to protect that speech from government oversight.  Governments that want to function as top-down communist centralized authority wish to define, for instance, what speech is acceptable and what truth is, and they expect not to be questioned about it by ordinary, everyday civilians.  However, in American culture, our legal system goes way out of its way, as demanded by our Constitutional rights, to put limits on what the government can do because history reports that if left alone to their own devices, power corrupts everyone at some point and civilian oversight is the key to managing that corruption and keeping it from harm’s way.  The massive expense of American law is needed because people with power can’t be trusted.  They must be managed through civilian oversight.  The entire foundation of America’s approach to government, society in general, and preserving personal liberty is implementing civilian oversight to keep the government big enough to function but not powerful enough to function as a tyrannical force.

At its core, this is why Trump is so hated.  He was elected and ran his entire presidential platform on the promise of civilian oversight.  People picked him over the machine of Beltway politics.  He does what people want of him.  He openly consults the Constitution to settle disputes, empowering civilian oversight rather than trying to crush it out of existence, which is the campaign platform of Democrats.  They, in essence, promise free stuff given to people who vote for them, and that free stuff comes from the confiscated wealth that Democrats steal through the power of government.  Lately, there have been a lot of cases where civilian oversight has been horrendously disrespected so that a government narrative could be established, such as these mass shootings, whether the killer who tried to assassinate President Trump or the school shootings that occur by transexual kids who fell off the rocker, we find at the heart of all these cases provocations and failures of the three lettered agencies, such as the FBI and the CIA.  When the CIA was created to help fight communism around the world, supposedly, they desired to function without congressional oversight at all so that they could operate without civilian oversight.  Because ultimately, members of Congress represent the people who vote for them, and the CIA should be reporting to Congress to get its funding.  Instead, the CIA was set up to fund a large part of its activities, according to books like Operation Gladio, with sales from the illegal drug trade, which makes sense.  It also explains a lot of problems in the world when these various groups, whether it be the Vatican, the mob, or the CIA, fight against any civilian oversight into their diabolical mechanisms of doom and mayhem. 

And without that civilian oversight, corruption grows like weeds quickly because that’s a human condition.  The world needs its version of the American Constitution to manage the level of corruption it experiences as a society.  When the CIA is pressed for civilian oversight, they have played the “alien card” through the years, reports about alien spacecraft and the characters who fly them, to keep the public content behind a veil of secrecy, all for national security.  They say their need for black budgets is more critical than the need for civilian oversight.  That is why there is so much terror about Trump becoming president again because he has said he will release the actual report on the Kennedy assassination and that deregulation will take away the power of many government agencies to function without civilian oversight.  Yet, there has never been a society in the history of the world, anywhere, that was able to function without civilian oversight.  And the United States has been the best example, even at the tremendous cost of having it.  Checks on power are critical to the insanity, specific to those who get power and are tempted to use it in destructive ways.  And that is the problem with the CIA.  Without civilian oversight, which it has virtually none, not even in how it is funded, being funded by an illegal drug trade that feeds off the demise of the world’s population, the CIA has become a corrupt organization that can do whatever it wants to anybody it wants to, and if they make a mistake, there is nobody to correct them. And it has worked so well for them; every other three-letter agency has wanted to copy their example.  That is certainly the case with the FBI.  We are supposed to believe whatever they say, even though in all the mass shootings, there were red flags given to them that they did not act on, purposely or not.  Even Homeland Security, over the issue of President Trump’s security.  They didn’t understand why civilian oversight was so meaningful when they were drug before Congress to explain their failures, which ended in at least a significant resignation over office deficiencies.  The world fights against civilian oversight and the desire to rule over people, not to have people free of such constraints and to impose their judgment on their social betters.  The conspiracy against civilian oversight is the desire to rule over mass society and not to have ordinary people regulating government power for its own sake and creation.  And anything that does not have civilian oversight should be said to be abolished for good as useless and ineffective.  This then explains why people want power in the first place: to avoid oversight by those who might judge them and find their lives lacking in the opinions of civilian oversight.  The goal of those conspirators is to get rid of the judgments of the public and hide behind the power of government to conceal their worthless condition from the world.  And it really isn’t any more than that.

The Bible Will ‘Make America Great Again’: Our infrastructure is already in place, we just need to drop the experiment of secular society–it has been a disaster

You can’t do it, have a secular culture, and expect society to adhere to values.  Specifically, America was founded as a Christian nation.  Our laws were formed around Biblical ideals.  Without those values driving our decision-making process, the wheels fall off entirely.  This separation of church and state was an attack on the concept of American life, not a way to protect it from various ideas.  If we want to Make American Great Again, the Bible must be at our culture’s core.  We can be tolerant of other cultures and religious beliefs, but to have common footing and a value system people can believe in, we must turn to the Bible to establish a foundation that mass society can start with as a means of acquiring proper social behavior.  I have been saying this for a while now, and the evidence is obvious.  Without Biblical concepts to drive society, it flies apart quickly.  Regarding the Jewish traditions of the Ten Commandments, which are the foundation for our entire law and order society, we should look back now with the benefit of hindsight at the start of the problem, the removal of the Bible from our legislative process.  The people who wanted to do that understood what they were strategically doing.  They didn’t want America to survive or thrive.  They tried to destroy our country and our values, and the first place they started was with the religious foundation of the country, to begin with, and disguised their efforts as a “protection of free speech.”  To use free speech as a means to destroy free speech.  We have been dealing with some real bad guys up to substantial no good, and it’s time we go in the other direction.  If we want to establish law, order, and social value, the Bible is our best option as a mass society.

A lot of people have been mad at me for my statements about the Bible needing to be the center of our society.  I am probably more tolerant of other people’s religions and beliefs than most are.  I am sure the average person doesn’t interact with people from all over the world with as much diversity in belief as I do on a daily basis.  And I’ve heard all the atheist arguments regarding God from the Ayn Rand Objectivism, which is OK for specifying the value of money and how it measures worth in society.  Separating the element of God from those kinds of discussions helps make a point of what value is and how people should conduct themselves.  When the Bible was written, and before the idea of free people was contemplated as a reality, money was handled by those exerting power over others.  That still occurs around much of the world, but in America, the concept of wealth creation has a moral element that preserves individual liberty.  Money doesn’t usher in the roots of all evil into a people who should be worshipping Yahweh with sacrifices and a bent knee.  We’re not talking about subservience to a deity as much as we are expressing the values and lessons of the human race since the beginning of time, more than 10,000 years of evolution.  Once America was formed on Biblical concepts as a free nation fleeing the religious persecution of Europe, things started to work out very well with the human race.  Cleon Skousen’s 5000 Year Leap understands this concept very well.  Until those elements of Biblical value combined with individual freedom, the entire human race was in a desperate state that continued to rise and fall throughout history.  It’s not an accident that the Jewish people became the longest-lasting group to survive for such a long period.  Because the ideas about how to structure society, from judges to rulers to everyday conduct, worked as they were written in the Bible.  And our civilization flourished accordingly.

I’ve tried accommodating people’s secular sentiments, but it doesn’t work.  I’ve been there for a while, especially in watching how angry so many people who are rooting for the failure of America to happen have been toward President Trump.  I wouldn’t say that Trump has been over his life an example of moral compunction.  Like many people, he came to it through experience and necessity.  Trump was very much living the life of a Hugh Hefner Playboy type.  It only took him a few wives to start figuring it out, and Melania has been good for him.  It probably took a few years to work out that lifestyle of not being a playboy, and as a result, a more biblical perspective became an increasing part of his life.  But as he ran for president, the resistance to him pushed him in that direction for the better, and he has turned out to be a pretty good person as a result.  If you have looked at his books written since he was president, books from Winning Team Publishing like ‘Our Journey Together’ “Letters to Trump, and this latest one, which is fantastic, ‘Save America,’ you will see more than the journey of a presidency from campaign status to fulfillment and a real representative of the American lifestyle in a moral way.  A person’s journey growing into actual Biblical value, like a character from the Bible called to do God’s work. 

I was thinking about all this while serving as a foreman for a grand jury.  It was my job to swear in all the witnesses, and they gave me a card that said on one side, “So help me God.”  On the other, it removed God from the sentence and was intended for more secular types.  After hearing from hundreds of witnesses over several weeks and listening to the many criminal cases presented, it was obvious the root cause of much of it was the lack of biblical value in our society that was put there with progressive politics.  Only a few months before my grand jury service, I had just traveled to Japan for the second time in six months. I was exposed to the nightlife of Kyoto, complete with the traditional dress they have there. I saw a lot of temples and the burning of incense where people openly worshipped the religion of Shinto, which involves the worship of kami, spirits that inhabit everything.  There isn’t much crime in Japan, and they thrive. Much of that is caused by their understanding of the social values provided by the Shinto religion.  There are shrines everywhere; it’s impossible to walk around too far in Japan and not have exposure to Shinto worship.  It reminded me that much of our infrastructure for religious value is already in place in America.  You can hardly go anywhere in America without seeing a church.  During my grand jury service, I didn’t have to use the back of the card to swear people in.  Everyone I swore in seemed to like how I said, “So help you, God.”  That’s why we traditionally have people put their hand on a Bible to swear them in, it’s a testament to the values contained within it.  Based on what we know now and what we have learned from other cultures that have not embraced some ridiculous concept of secular law and order, a biblical foundation is crucial to Making America Great Again.  All we need to do is accept what we have learned about social order and apply it accordingly, and things will restore to proper conduct quickly.

Australia’s Dumb New Law: Right to Disconnect

In the spirit of Labor Day, which is the holiday I hate the most, we need to have a talk about the ridiculously dumb Australian law, Right to Disconnect which they just passed there at the end of August 2024.  The world needs to be working more, not less.  And this socialist trend of encouraging people to sit around looking at the walls all day is a terribly destructive one.  The world doesn’t need more dumb laws like this one that enables the world to be lazier.  Labor Day, to me, is essentially a celebration of laziness, a union concept of work stoppages holding productivity hostage unless management recognizes the workers’ limits to performing tasks.  It is poison to the human race to think such things, and at the core of all these ridiculous laws are horrible people fighting for the right to be unproductive. Instead, I think we need to be going in the opposite direction.  We need to work harder and more often.  We need to extend our work day hours and work more days of the week than we do now because productive enterprise is very much needed.  Additionally, I think our five-day workweek is ridiculously short.  And I think people should work more than 8 hours per day.  I have always worked more than 8 hours per day.  I often work seven days a week, so let me say I am a happy person.  Leaving work undone is what makes me unhappy.  So, I can’t imagine a happy world restricting itself in productivity.  It’s the wrong message, and anybody suggesting such a lazy life should be ridiculed.  The Australians proposing this Marxist trend of disconnecting from work to produce a sane society shows just how out of touch they are with the needs of the world. 

What to tell lazy people using Marxism to get out of hard work.

As usual, free market enterprise should be at play here.  Those who work more often and spread out among the population should be rewarded appropriately.  If people want to work more, they should be rewarded with more stuff.  And again, this idea that “stuff” can’t make you happy is more communism and Marxist ideas from people who are at their heart lazy and not the kind of people anybody should be listening to.  It’s essentially the government restricting their productivity through mass collective effort.  Whenever workers propose less work or else, we see a terrorist incursion to our means of production, and the intention is to manage all such rights under the power of collective government to restrict output.  And if people want output, then demands under collective bargaining must be met.  However, not all people are the same.  Some people get tired of sitting around looking at the walls doing nothing, and they want to do more work.  They want to go out and earn money.  Because they want more stuff, they want to pay off their house.  They want a nice car.  They may want a more attractive spouse.  Who wants to be married to a slug?  Someone who would rather play video games all day rather than work and make money?  People need to work more so that a country can have a better GDP.  However, this Australian strategy encourages the world to work less so everyone can be less productive.  That’s the spirit of their new legislation.  No wonder they are an armpit down there and only have any population on the east coast.  What a waste of good land and space. 

Oh, I’ve heard it before: ” If not for the labor unions, those big mean companies would work people to death.”  Wrong. What kills people and society is less work, not more of it. People need to be productive to truly feel good about themselves. This notion that people need all this downtime is ridiculous.  I often love traveling in Japan; people there work hard.  Even when you have a taxi pick you up at the airport, the drivers universally run to open the door for you and make sure you get where you are going without much delay.  Because they appreciate hard work there, which is common in Asian cultures, don’t mind working hard, and usually, they have strong families as well because they work at it.  And that is never going to go away.  When people in the West profess to work less, they are cutting their throats, and the Marxists, I would say, are well aware of it.  Most still hope the globalist union movement will put them on top of world management and central government.  But what will end up happening is that they will end up behind as a result, and Asian cultures, through wealth redistribution, will fill the market void with actual hard work.  The human need for work can be filled with robots and AI, but the demand for things to happen will always be present.  The most successful cultures will be those who do the most work and can maintain their sanity best. Presently, especially in the West, there are too many lazy people playing video games and smoking pot, which is the point where we should consider it a national security risk under every definition.  Who needs a military invasion of a country when you can destroy it from within with more laws against work?  The primary reason America conquered other nations in World War II was that we could out produce against the rest of the world.  And that is still the reason America has the top GDP of any country, even though there are fewer people to do that work. 

I mentioned video games a few times here. I have been playing a lot of Call of Duty lately because I have grandchildren who like to interact with my wife and me through video games.  And I take time to play them to spend time with them.  But it’s evident to me how dangerous this modern video game culture is; we’re not talking about Pac-Man or Space Invaders here, where you play the game for 15 or 20 minutes.  Then you go back to your life.  No, these are all-day excursions, and people work hard to level up on these modern games.  People are taking the effort very seriously.  And I can’t help but think how misapplied it all is.  The natural state of the human being is to be thoughtful and productive.  Whenever you repress those notions about life, you find unhappy people who develop all kinds of emotional problems.  This video game culture represents the need for hard work in every human being’s life, which has replaced effort with waste.  Some people get good at these video games, but to what end?  Will they be able to buy a new house or a new car?  Put savings in the bank?  Of course not.  And for a government to tell its people to work less.  We will penalize employers for providing opportunities beyond eight hours of need per day or more than five days of working per week.  And when people go home, you can’t call them to harass them over work matters.  I’ve been on vacation in exotic places and always took the time to have a business call.  If my family was with me, they could do some shopping while I worked through issues.  After 20 minutes, we’d be back to our vacation and happy.  And work was done.  This idea that people should disconnect from work to be satisfied is insane.  But it’s what the Australians are proposing for their life.  And I would say in response that it’s no wonder they are such losers.  They don’t want to work, and no wonder they are an armpit of a country that is last in just about every category of human endeavor.  They need to be working more, not less, as is the case with most of the human race, except the Asian cultures, who aren’t going to pass “right to disconnect” legislation any time soon.  Likely for them, never.

Sheriff Jones is Right about Security at Liberty Center: The Mall needs to hire big, tough guys to bust scum bags and criminal losers

Before we get too far along on this one, just remember the management of the Liberty Center complex in Butler County, Ohio—you had to be told to reopen the playground after COVID.  You didn’t do it alone; you had to be talked to.  There were a lot of moms who wanted to take their kids out to the mall, and there were lots of moms who wanted to talk to other moms and enjoy the benefits of the excellent food court there.  But for almost a year too long, after the rest of the world came back on after all the dumb Covid lockdowns, Liberty Center still had the lights out at the playground and marked it off as closed because of fear of the local health agencies getting angry over it.  So, the management of the Liberty Center Mall complex is not the brightest in the world; they are following the same destructive woke policies as everyone else.  What makes Liberty Center great is its location, and the people who have fled all the blue-run areas in Cincinnati settled in the region around Liberty Center because they don’t want to be impacted by a bloated, intrusive government.  I love Liberty Center; we always go there as a family.  I think it’s a wonderful thing to have in our community.  But it could be vastly improved if management was better.  Just think of how much lost money occurred because they were too slow to open the playground.  I didn’t say anything about it at the time or my role in it because I didn’t want to embarrass them.  However, regarding this recent Sheriff Jones story, there is some history of woke management practices from corporate firms getting their marching orders outside of our community, and that is a problem we need to discuss. 

You might have heard, and I agree with him absolutely on this one, Sheriff Jones is charging Liberty Center for the reward money that ended up capturing a couple of shoplifters who were caught by some excellent police work done at Dick’s Sporting Goods.  Based on the evidence presented, a couple of women look to have taken several thousands of dollars in theft.  And this is a national trend everywhere these days, especially in communities particularly impacted by the rhetoric of Marxism that believes private property should be abolished, and one of their methods of social destruction is to find suckers who will then turn to the streets and rob property owners of their goods and services.  Sheriff Jones has to send a message that Butler County is not open for crime because it isn’t.  I have noticed that there are a lot of gang bangers and criminal thugs who have been flocking from regions around to the glory and sentiment of Butler and Warren Counties due to this same Marxist trend.  These criminal-minded types believe that if affluent people have something, then they have a right to take it.  So, if we don’t crack down on even the most minor infraction, word will get out that Butler County is an excellent place to go and commit crime.  And we can’t have that.  So these women had to be arrested for being caught doing what they did at Dick’s Sporting Goods.  Sheriff Jones needed to make an example of them.  And he knows it because I’ve told him.  It’s not because we don’t have enough police to cover the job.  We do, and then some.  But if he needs help, I have my hand way up.  There was a gun store near my home that was recently hit with a break-in, and I would like to see that kind of behavior discouraged intensely.  Civilian oversight is the ultimate backstop on these kinds of things.  So it’s not just this recent theft at Liberty Center; there is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes that indicates a larger crime spree brewing by the actions of Democrat policies from everywhere.  And we have to meet it with aggression; otherwise, it will just get worse.

Sheriff Jones is sending the bill for his police work to Liberty Center to pay, and I think that is a good idea, given the situation.  I would advise the Liberty Center management to drop all the woke garbage and get on to the Make America Great Again plan.  That’s where the rest of the world is heading after this next election, and it will be very costly to cling to any form of wokeness very shortly.  I would get rid of the skinny pants mall cops who are allowing too much riff-raff to form there.  The Mall is private property, so they can tell people to leave.  Failure to do that will result in the same fate as Tri-County Mall to the south and Forest Fair Mall to the west along I-275.  People stopped going to those malls because of the thugs and crime that occurred.  Mall management was slow and reluctant to draw the line because they didn’t want to end up in court over profiling issues, which is not something that will hold up to legal scrutiny.  If the security at Liberty Center intends to break up a group of three or more dangerous-looking teenage kids from just looking stupid, they can.  And they should.  If Liberty Center security does not protect the moms who like to go to the mall with their children, then what happened to other malls in the country will occur to Liberty Center, too. 

I would suggest hiring the kind of security guards at the GOP Lincoln Day Dinner a year or so ago when Ron DeSantis came to speak.  To get into the event, they had huge, muscle-bound tough guys between 6’2” to 6’5”.  They were huge and menacing, which I thought was too much for that kind of event.  But they were trying to make a point for a person running for president.  Anthony Munoz from the Cincinnati Bengals was right behind me, and he looked like a baby being patted down by these guys to go through security.  They were too much for that event, but I would hire them to do the same security at Liberty Center.  They may cost more for wages, but they will more than make up their worth in added lease space and dollars generated.  If people don’t feel safe, they won’t go to the mall, and moms set the family schedule.  To avoid criminal scum bags and those looking like they want to be those types, moms will stay home with their kids and order from Amazon.  So mall security must protect those who go on a limb to invest in a brick-and-mortar store.  That is their first and most important function, not in being fair to everyone and not profiling losers and bums but creating an atmosphere that makes moms feel safe.  I would hire serious, tough guys who project confidence and will back it up with action.  And if Liberty Center Mall security punts to the local police departments, then they should pay for the cost of good police work.  I would encourage Sheriff Jones to get rich by doing so because it is worth the money to crack down on crime.  Otherwise, and this is the Marxist political plan by encouraging all these dumb people to commit crimes in the first place, there won’t be any money left to steal.  Petty crimes and significant crimes need to be prosecuted aggressively.  Otherwise, society will fall apart quickly, especially at Liberty Center in Butler County, Ohio.  It’s OK to be mean to scum bags and criminals.  And I’d suggest that Liberty Center listen to Sheriff Jones and do their jobs as required.

The Establishment Failed: And they can only blame themselves for what happens next

Eventually, you become the establishment, so I wouldn’t say that what is happening in the world is an anti-establishment movement.  I would say it’s a rejection of the current establishment.  Beyond speculation, we see what globalism has presented to us, and that was the establishment offering for most of our lives.  It has proved itself to be a massive failure, down to how we educate children, how we maintain border security, and how central banks manage money.  People have watched what the establishment presented to them as an offering to manage life, and they don’t like it.  That is essentially what is happening with even Democrats crossing over and supporting Trump.  And you can bet beyond the polling that the media tells you about, which is not good for Kamala Harris, who hasn’t yet caught up to this new reality.  Even the most dedicated Democrat political pundits admit that Harris is lucky to have one electoral path to victory at this stage, going into September of 2024, with the election only a few months out.  With Democrats endorsing Trump, from RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and now significant celebrities who sat out in the last election, the trend toward an anti-establishment desire is clear.  I would consider Elon Musk a Democrat, and if you haven’t been paying attention, he sounds like me lately, me over the years.  He’s one of the wealthiest people in the world, running one of the most profitable car companies, and has been quoting the Second Amendment and The Constitution as if he were in the Tea Party from 2010.  That’s the same guy who stood in line for many hours to meet Barack Obama.   So, we are discussing a very different world going into the 2024 election.  And the establishment’s panic is starting to show that they are being rejected everywhere.  Not just in America.

Back to Elon Musk, you might have heard about the corrupt judge in Brazil, Alexandre de Moraes, who is behind the election fraud there putting jail inmate Lula as the China installed president over Bolsonaro; Moraes wants to jail Musk over the free speech platform “X,” just as they have been doing in France and wanting to do in England.  The global tyrants are showing their cards because they have to, and it was too soon for their plans.  The people of the world have now been stirred up, and the wheels are coming off all their establishment plans for global communism run by the World Economic Forum through the United Nations.  And they thought that they could put an East Berlin style approach to the world, into submission.  That was their entire plan.  They have no plan B.  People didn’t usually talk about these things; they wanted to think well of other political points of view.  But the Establishment did it to themselves.  They have nobody else to blame and shouldn’t be angry about it.  They certainly shouldn’t feel like they have a right to be abusive and intimidating.  We are not, and never were, going to be suckered into globalism and live under the thumb of the United Nations and their stupid laws.  As we speak, there are massive hoards of motorcycle gangs headed to Aurora, Colorado, to deal with the thugs who are taking over apartment complexes by force and intimidating innocent people.  If our Department of Justice isn’t going to do its job and want to be a part of this Establishment, then we’ll take matters into our own hands.  The FBI, Homeland Security, the corrupt CIA, all of them, if they are going to let criminals molest our free society, then there will be punishment for the incursion.  Don’t get mad; they all should have known better.

And ultimately, that’s what nobody took into account.  Even though Brazil, the European Union, China, really most of the world have nothing in their culture like our Constitution, the plotters of this failed Establishment didn’t read it.  That was clear during the created COVID crisis when even Bill Gates had not bothered to study the purpose of all American law articulated in the American Constitution.  It puts limits on the powers of government.  Not subservience to government.  All the cases that went to court regarding the government versus the People of the United States fell in favor of the people.  The Constitution limits the government from imposing itself on free people.  And that is the end of the story.  And if the government doesn’t do its job and protect people, then free people will do the job instead of them, which is why the Hell’s Angels are headed to Colorado.  And I’m glad they are.  The criminal thugs and scumbags of international border crossings intent to bring crime and injustice to our neighborhoods will not be permitted to impose on us unmolested.  Even Elon Musk now sees things clearly, and more than anybody in the world, he has done more for free speech, which the world is responding to with this rejection of the Established order.  Musk and his companies have brought open communication to every corner of the world with the Star Link internet network.  “X” is Brazil’s number one news platform, which is why the establishment there is suddenly upset about Musk.  Their imposed tyrannies are not working there, or anywhere for that matter.

I would suggest to the world, especially Americans, that nobody needs to panic.  It’s all right there in the Constitution.  The government has to prove to you that they have the authority to do anything, and most of the time, they don’t have it.  You can challenge them, and they will lose. And that is, in America how the ball bounces.  No World Courts or other countries can file a petition against America or its people.  And if America wants to shut down their little armpit countries, it can be done in a fraction of a second, which is one of the policy positions of the incoming Trump White House.  We are the only ones in the world with any real money and value.  The central banks know it.  The United Nations knows it.  And the World Economic Forum needed a lot more suckers like Bill Gates to implement their plans, and not even Gates understood our own Constitution.  Covid was a test, and the panic after that was that it failed to capture people’s minds toward the goals of the Establishment.  Instead, it turned them against it and going into an election where the Establishment is counting on Kamala Harris to be inserted into the American presidency, just as Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was put into office in Brazil, Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, and Macron in France barely survived a challenge to his authority this year.  Add that to the radical socialist in Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, who is now president, Justin Trudeau in Canada, and many other places, and the battleplan was obvious, but before they could pull it off in America, they forgot that we have a Constitution that protects people from its government and that we have all the real money in the world and can use it against these tyrannies much to their detriment.  And don’t forget, Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, its leader, is a devout socialist.  So these people are the Established order that has been pushing the world in the wrong direction for a long time, and finally, people are starting to see the picture, and just in time.  It has all been exposed because of Trump running for president and all these characters trying to stop him; it has exposed their hiding places where ordinary people could see them.  And now we are living in a completely different world.  The establishment has given rise to an anti-establishment sentiment, and they can only blame themselves for what is coming their way.

The CIA Funds Itself Through Illegal Drugs: Without civilian oversight, corruption always occurs

The first problem I had with the world after the first Trump White House administration was that so many characters, including many domestic conspirators, were not at all concerned about breaking the laws of our Constitution.  And our legal system, led by our three letter agencies, was working against it, as clearly, the FBI did in its work to perform a coup against a sitting American president.  Then, there was the CIA, which was actively involved in many controversies.  But what sealed it all for me was when I had a chance to talk to Mike Pompeo, who ran the CIA under Trump, and I had him alone for a moment to ask him what he thought about the 51 intelligence officers who had come out and dismissed the Biden laptop and called it Russian disinformation.  He was careful with his answer.  I think he did an excellent job as the CIA Director.  I was a kid who used to have a CIA ball cap that I wore everywhere.  I love law and order and the idea of a protective agency that is out there in the world fighting the bad guys.  But the more I learned about the CIA and the rest of the intelligence agencies, the more obvious it was that they “were” the bad guys.  They weren’t patriotic Americans fighting to do what’s right.  With all these elements in my mind, I allowed myself to ask the question about their integrity because it was a long process; the evidence had to take me to the answer because I wasn’t looking for it to be so sinister.  I wanted to think that reform of the CIA was possible and that if only we had the right kind of leadership, they could be salvageable. 

Then, I heard the root cause of the problem from a prosecutor while serving on a grand jury.  We were talking about the Constitution and the typical visits they make in Butler County to the local jail to see how criminals live and are processed because many of the decisions we had to make would impact that system.  It was one of those let your hair down kind of discussions, and he let it slip that we did that with grand juries in Butler County, Ohio because we were still old-fashioned regarding the law and wanted to pay tribute to the concept of civilian oversight.  That hit me because, to my mind, that was the whole point of what we were doing on the grand jury.  But then I looked over the weeks of cases we had been judging, and many were not the significant, serious crimes out there.  Many of those were left unresolved because the Feds were usually involved in those and took over once the borders of our community were imposed upon by outside elements, which, when it comes to significant crimes, is just about everywhere when it comes to drug cartels.  My experience on the grand jury was frustrating regarding drugs because I have a profound hatred of all mind-numbing intoxicants, even those prescribed by doctors.  To say I don’t like drugs is not severe enough to describe how I feel about them.  Hate isn’t a strong enough word.  But a pattern was emerging that was at the root cause of all this bad behavior, and I did a lot of research to uncover what I had been learning about the process of law and order from the perspective of prosecutors and why these drug cases weren’t being punished enough, and why the big dealers were never messed with. 

The problem with the CIA is that they do not have civilian oversight.  And they have been working against voter-picked White House occupants for many decades now and have involved themselves domestically in election fraud, just as they do around the world when they set up governments to topple countries considered enemies of America.  At least, that’s what we’ve been told.  Instead, what has happened is that they have formed their fourth branch of government that does not have any elected representative oversight.  They do not report to Congress, where the American people have their representatives overseeing their government.  And if they do a terrible job, we can elect new representatives.  Just as the Butler County prosecutor let it slip that they have to pay reverence to the concept of the American Constitution and the idea that the whole point of a grand jury was to have the community oversee the behavior of law enforcement to make sure they weren’t getting too big for their britches.  Because most of the world doesn’t respect America anymore due to the open border movement, they certainly don’t respect our legal system domestically and have no problem breaking laws with immunity.  In addition to all the experiences with various people that I mentioned, in my youth, I had experience with mob crime families, and I always wondered why the police and FBI never seemed to bust them.   I knew where they were and who they were.  But unless it was a rival crime element, the feds and police never seemed to arrest them.  Why were all these things happening?

The answer for me was a long one, but an excellent package of the truth can be found in the book by Paul Williams called Operation Gladio, which gives a history of the creation of the CIA after World War II and how it interacts with the sovereign government of the Vatican and the Italian crime families.  It’s much more complicated than all that. It involves banking families with their hands in all kinds of global activity, but it all points to one essential problem.  There is a tendency toward corruption in any organization that does not have to be accountable to the people it is supposed to serve.  That was the key ingredient to the American Constitution; that was the purpose of our grand jury and jury system.  But even our prosecutors see that our legal society has been washed away into globalism concepts without respect for American policy.  They don’t even respect our borders, let alone our laws.  Prosecutors know all this and only go after the kind of crimes they are allowed to prosecute, allowed by the presumption of global politics, not domestic management.  The reason that the CIA has always been rumored and confirmed to allow the drug trade to flourish was that it has funded its budgets, which keeps them from getting money from Congress and avoiding that need for civilian oversight, with illegal activity in the drug trade.  And that was a mistake, assuming they could operate in secrecy and not lose themselves to corruption.  And, of course, they would not allow a President elected by vote to diminish their power even if they had to kill to do it, which they have been willing to do, as the Kennedy assassination displays with history in hindsight.  We have a government agency that operates on its own and is funded by illegal activity, a global drug trade that started in China during World War II but has migrated into a worldwide enterprise connected directly to international mobs and religious organizations that ran a cover story, for which the entire purpose was to have all the power of a government without any oversight.  The point of all the crime was to fund their activities without having to beg Congress for funding and report to them the value of their work.  When pressed, they would point to nuclear threats and declare any oversight could result in World War III.  Or that aliens might come down and kill all of us, so we had to support the secrecy of the CIA and FBI for our own good.  Otherwise, we might all die if we ask too many questions.  And sadly, that’s why we have to get rid of them. They don’t have civilian oversight and are willing to fight to maintain that status, which makes them very dangerous and is the greatest threat America faces as a nation.  It’s not other countries that we have to worry about.  Without any civilian oversight that controls its government agencies the process is doomed to fail from the start and that is the story of the CIA.  They are guilty of working against the Constitutional parameters set up to prevent them from becoming just what they are today: a fourth branch of unaccountable and dangerous government that has turned to illegal activities for their sustenance and intentions for a global government that is corrupt beyond measure and a menace to us all. And they can’t be allowed to continue as they have been.  They kill, they steal, and they corrupt in ways that are dangerous to the human race and we can’t ignore their destructive behavior any longer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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