The War on Porn and the Hustler Store in Monroe, Ohio: How the political left lied about sex and sophistication–and economic development

Yes, they lied to you when they said that sex peddling was a victimless crime.  When the great argument between Simon Leis and Larry Flint in Cincinnati, Ohio, over smut in the country’s cleanest city became the talk of the world in the 1970s, the crazed owner of Hustler would go to jail for his industry of indecency.  The political left has always tried to use sex as a free speech topic, just as they are doing with pot and transgender issues now.  The radical sex education that we are now seeing in public schools started a long time ago, and the more we let them get away with it, the more they kept coming.  We ended up with a Hustler of Hollywood store in Butler County, Ohio, right down the road from my house.  Larry Flint wanted revenge for all that happened to him as he was prosecuted by Leis and driven in the media over the edge of existence by Charlie Keating.  Flint would do then as he did with President Trump and put out a bounty for any dirt he could get on political figures who stood against him.  And in the case of Keating, he put out publicly, with free speech, a bounty for the rape of Keating’s daughter, which occurred on April 12th, 1977, in Burnet Woods on the University of Cincinnati campus.  I had a front-row seat to all of it, and I remember why Flint said he wanted to put that Hustler of Hollywood at our Butler County Monroe exit.  It was to attack the morality of Cincinnati that they couldn’t stop the porn advocates under the banner of using the First Amendment to undermine our entire society.  And when people traveled down I-75 from the north into the Cincinnati city limits, the first thing they would see was a porn shop run by Larry Flint, which is still standing.

But the story doesn’t end there.  What many people don’t know is that the mob bankrolled Larry Flint, the same crime families that had been running the sex shops and strip clubs in Newport, Ohio, and Covington across the river from Cincinnati.  I have talked about my employment by the mob before, from restaurants on Chester Rd in Sharonville to Mike Fink’s on the river of Ohio, and I can say that even in the 80s, the mob was still very active in cleaning their crime money through legitimate businesses.  The smut business was an easy cover for their other crimes because it attracted the attention of the public.  The FBI was in on the game, too; over time, the mobs became tired of running from the FBI, so they became the leaders, and it all went back to the first top cop, J. Edger Hoover, Bobby Kennedy, and the Beverly Hills Supper Club.  But what kept everyone from digging into the blood-soaked streets that might scare away convention businesses across the river in Cincinnati was that people like Larry Flint were valuable distractions so the mobs could operate without fear of prosecution.   It was just another form of a Cloward and Piven strategy that we see now happening on such a grand scale.  That’s because they learned it from the mobs in Cincinnati and the battles with Larry Flint during the early 70s, 80s, and 90s.  But as Clinton was in the White House, the smut kings felt untouchable.  The internet was coming along but was not yet the free porn provider that it is now, so another business moved in next to the Hustler property in Monroe with the same kind of intentions.  It was Bristol’s topless strip club that was right in the heart of Butler County, off the highway, and became an embarrassment that still permeates to this day. 

From around the mid-1990s until 2010, Bristol’s was a little strip club intent on destroying community values in one of the most family-friendly areas of the entire state, and it was an attack.  I knew many people who went there, and I knew people who worked there.  So, I know pretty explicitly what went on.  In the back of the place, there was a sizeable outside playground where clothing was optional, and anybody could play volleyball with topless young girls.  The place was a major blight on our community in Butler County, and it all started with Larry Flint wanting to desecrate the Cincinnati area’s family values purposely.  But even more so, behind all that was organized crime using porn and compromised men to control them politically.  Because who in their right mind could resist the temptation of 22-year-old girls and their boobies?  Not many, and to this day, most people drive by that location and pretend it’s not there.  Because they are ashamed of what they did there, and they’d love to forget about it; these days, with the government learning from the mob how to control mass populations with porn, it’s free and easy to get on the internet.  But that is another story of destruction that we haven’t yet dealt with.  But when we drive by the Hustler Store in Monroe, Ohio, it’s doing what Larry Flint wanted to do, and that reminds everyone that he was in charge because he was the provider of the forbidden fruit human beings couldn’t resist.  And ultimately, he could control society through their vices.  That’s why the mobsters put Larry Flint up as their front guy.  And he did his job well for them. 

By 2018, the Bristol property had closed and was torn down.  Despite being one of the country’s hottest commercial real estate properties, it remains empty.  Every time I look at it, I think it would be an excellent location for a Love’s Travel Center.  I have been everywhere in the country, and few highways stops are as great as that one in Monroe.  I think I have been to every exit up and down I-75 from Michigan to Florida, I-71, and many along I-70, I-80, and I-90.  And the old Bristol property next to the Hustler of Hollywood location is enormous.  There has been talk of a car dealership moving into the site, but there has not been much activity.  Why? Because it’s a scar from the past when strippers compromised many Butler County men away from their wives and families.  Most people now stop by that highway access port and avoid looking in that direction to avoid shame.  And that is the price of smut on economic activity.  What the political left sold as sophisticated free speech was just a mobster’s position of hiding their crime syndicates with vice and immorality.  And you always end up with a society that has fallen from grace and is empty of resolve, which ends up in a degraded state.  People like Larry Flint were purposefully evil and looking to turn the American Constitution on its head for the destruction of our country and to desecrate anybody who might try to save it from people like him.  And to this day, the effects of that war are still constant reminders of what happened in Monroe, Ohio.  Instead of being a thriving place, which Monroe deserves, it has a haze of guilt over it that makes it come across as just another truck stop exit catering to the needs of lonely truckers and their dirty need for unregulated sex.  And it’s messy, and Larry Flint stuck his sign of smut in the ground for us to forever see.  And he laughed at us as he did it while many men who might have stood against it snuck away from their homes to enjoy the temptations of misspent youth playing nude volleyball within view of the southbound ramp to I-75.  And there was nothing any moralist could do about it because it was a legally protected operation.  The mob had moved into the government, and before anybody could dig too deep, most people were compromised and could not stop it.  These guys played for keeps, and we have the kind of government we do today, primarily because of those efforts by Larry Flint and his Hustler enterprise.  There were a lot of casualties in that smut war, and the guilt of that war is still very much alive and well by the lack of good development at that Hustler site, which continues to hold back economic growth in Butler County that otherwise would have thrived.  Which, of course, answers the question about morality and economic activity.  The political left indeed lied, just as the Bible said they would.  But only too late did anybody realize just how much.

Oh, sure, we’ve all heard it before.  Mind your own business.  Don’t stick your nose of morality into my life.  It’s all about free speech and freedom of choice.  Well, I care about my community, and the decisions of these smut peddlers have lowered the value of property in my community, and I have always taken it personally.  As a legal premise, there is no legal “greater good” over “individual value.”  There is case law that leans away from individual value and favors the greater good, but those arguments are rooted in interpretive mistakes.  Because the same kind of thing is going to happen with pot legalization.  There are consequences for bad decisions, and porn was always a bad decision.  And we can see the results of that bad decision at that Monroe exit.  Sure, people own the property and have a right to do what they want with it.  Until they impact the lives of other people, which is what that history of porn in Monroe has left us all tarnished with.  And is a lesson we should all be learning from and applying to legislation and zoning in the future.

Merrick Garland Needs To Go To Jail: The organized crime of a government run by thugs, criminals, and murderers

Yes, Merrick Garland needs to go to jail.  This procedure to hold him in contempt is important, which Congress is going through now.  Or, however, things turn out, to hold him accountable for his actions in weaponizing the DOJ in favor of Biden, a criminal president in his own right.  The only defense that any of these characters have as a defense against jail is that their political position of anti-Constitutional sentiment seeks to move the goalposts out of the arena, so they are no longer applicable.  Marrick Garlan, Obama, Eric Holder, Hilary Clinton, Mayorkas, Wray, Fauci, Pelosi, Biden, under any premise of a law and orderly society, people like these should be punished in the harshest way possible for their lack of respect for the American voter.  And their purposeful participation in crimes against America and the way they have knowingly used the law as a weapon against their political enemies while daring people to apply those same standards to them.  There has been so much wrong and under normal conditions, especially in the pre-progressive era politics imported from Europe on banana boats and immigrants with Harvard degrees.  It doesn’t get much worse than what Merrick Garland has done against President Trump and against the rest of us who voted for Trump.  There must be punishment for those who commit crimes.  We can’t let criminals use the law to hide crimes, much like mobsters have done throughout history.  What the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, and many other three-letter agencies have done as controlled by modern Democrats in a manner we might point to and call the Deep State has been horrendously corrupt and manically vicious.  In the context of some history, it was purposefully exploited.  When a thug like Merrick Garland becomes the top cop in America, directs the law in a corrupt way, and gets caught.  Then, the law in every manner of justice must be thrown in his direction.

To understand a bit of history here, when mobsters got away with killing JFK and their primary target, Bobby Kennedy, with cold-blooded murders, a new standard was set for government partnerships where the mob essentially moved into government to control the prosecution of their many criminal enterprises.  Suppose you know how Bobby Kennedy went after mob bosses to prove his worth as an Attorney General, the exact role Merrick Garland has now. In that case, you will understand how personal crusades and power abused in that office can quickly get out of control.  Even though I agreed with what Bobby Kennedy was trying to do for his brother’s administration in cracking down on mob activity in America, the abuses of power were ostentatious and quite overt.  J. Edger Hoover, the cross-dressing FBI director who started it all, hated the Kennedys and denied that there was even organized crime occurring anywhere.  He wanted to fight communists, which the mob was happy to see because it got the government off their back.  But as history washed out the results, they were all the same kind of menace. China proved that organized crime hidden behind a communist government could take mob control to national levels, and that is what has been happening in America for most of the progressive political movement, starting with the turn of the last century.  When Hoover had to report to Bobby Kennedy as attorney general and had to go after criminal thugs in the mob, like labor union bosses and shadowy figures in Newport, Kentucky, he was targeted for assassination.  And yes, the FBI knew about it and helped facilitate the killers as a means to perform the task.

Now that we know that Biden’s White House, through Merrick Garland, had plans to invade Mar-a-Lago with deadly force, meaning they hoped that Trump and his people would fight back and be drawn into a shootout, we see years of this behavior culminating in a very modern way.  But when the mob burnt down the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Newport, as a result of all this mob behavior, the media carried the story as some faulty wiring, a playbook of criminal activity using the government and the mob control of the media to divert attention from an unsuspecting public was well underway.  The passive-aggressive position against voters and mob behavior started there, with the killing of the Kennedys, where the powers of government in the White House, where people picked their representative every four years, were manipulated by mob activity that evolved into government power acquired by organized crime.  What Joe Biden has done with his office in selling it, as we see in evidence through his children, is no different than the mob crime bosses known from the rough and tumble days of Newport, Kentucky, where so much mob behavior started.  People associate Chicago with mob mentality, but it was Newport, Kentucky, where much of the practice for the rest of the nation began.  And why it was wrapped up in the killing of President Kennedy and his brother, the Attorney General.  I used to work at the Mike Fink floating restaurant in Covington and the Islands in Newport, and I got to know some of the characters left over from that time.  Just because many people don’t know these stories and don’t want to admit that such corrupt monsters run their legal system doesn’t mean it isn’t happening and that it’s all a conspiracy.  It’s far worse than the conspiracies. The top floor of the FBI has always had a soft spot for organized crime, which the government has become against the wishes of tax-paying voters. 

Merrick Garland has abused his power to cover the crimes of this Biden White House in grotesque ways.  And it’s all been far worse than the killing of the Kennedys and the destruction of the Beverly Hills Supper Club in 1977, which killed many people and was done right out in the open.  Government and organized crime have been locked arm and arm all along.  And we are seeing the results of that relationship explode in front of us to this day, with just some of these characters mentioned.  And it will continue until we stop it.  Merrick Garland has done what he has because he knows this history and thinks he can get away with it because now, in 2024, the most prominent organized crime family are these national communist movements.  China is the largest.  And one trying to form in America which performed a coup against President Trump and is now being led, with the help of the FBI and CIA, by Merrick Garland and his Biden-controlled DOJ.  We know Bobby Kennedy abused the office of the Attorney General to prove to his brother that he was worthy of that lofty job. In that case, you can imagine what low-life characters like Garland, Obama, Biden, and the Clintons would do with all that power to their political enemies.  And knowing all that, we can’t permit it to persist. Otherwise, we have no country or premises from which they have already accepted and are operating.  While many of us still cling to classic notions about law and order and constitutional principles, most people seeking government power do it for the same reasons people joined the mob.  They wanted power and the lifestyle of easy money because they were generally lazy and didn’t want to work too hard at life, so they wanted power to steal money from other people.  And because of that conscious decision, people like Merrick Garland, once caught, and he has, must be punished severely and without remorse so that any concept of justice can live into the future.

Beating the Government Mob: It’s all about the down-ballot races

Yes, Trump is going into areas where typically Democrats have dominated, such as his massive rally in New Jersey.  Trump is going to do a rally in New York and other places Republicans gave up on a long time ago, not just as some vanity project, but because he’s working on a more significant issue, and going into those areas is how you bolster not just the Executive Branch, but the House and Senate too.  I verified it myself, as I have been saying since the last election.  I’ve been to heavy Democrat areas and do not see any enthusiasm about President Biden anywhere.  It’s one thing to say that there was election fraud.  It’s another to prove it, and there is no way to explain why a person who was supposed to get 81 million votes can’t be found to have any enthusiasm from the public.  Well, that’s because the public didn’t pick him.  Biden was picked for people, and they resent it even more now than they did in those cold first few months of 2021 when Biden replaced Trump in the White House.  Lots of people who count the votes and are hostile to America put Biden in place with election fraud, and to understand that, I will tell stories about Cincinnati in the weeks and months to come where the mob ran just about everything, specifically the battle between Simon Leis and Larry Flynt which come to mind.  The two men were military veterans, but in Leis, he was a patriot who bleeds red, white, and blue to this very day.  Flynt wanted to destroy America after his term in the military, and he spent his life on an openly destructive crusade to kill our nation in any way possible.  Living in Cincinnati, I had a front-row seat, but to understand election fraud and the forces that put Biden in office over Trump, the efforts are the same.  The only difference is the scale, and this is why Democrats want power and want to keep people off their turf.  And why Republicans typically don’t go into hostile territory.

Even though the mob-controlled much of the entertainment activity in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati through most of the war years, from the Red Scare of the 30s in post-prohibition times, and the government imposed Great Depression, through World War II and Vietnam, until the period where the mobsters got tired of fighting prosecutors like Simon Leis, and decided to move their operations into government, which is why you don’t hear about them in quite the same way now.  They permeate behind communist efforts and global socialism, but the concept is the same.  And this must be talked about to understand why nobody supports Biden, yet he’s in office and Trump isn’t.  When I think about the situation, I think of how Simon Leis stayed in office as a patriotic prune that the progressives who wanted global communism behind the hippie movement wanted to destroy completely.  That was because people understood that the mob was in control, and Leis was willing to fight the mob and win.  And it was the mob who bankrolled Larry Flynt as a front for their many other crime organizations.  In many ways, we are fighting the mob in a modern form as they have given up their turf wars and have now joined together within the context of our government.  But it’s the same game as it always was.  And where Simon Leis remains alive and well in Cincinnati going into his 9th decade, Trump has become the same kind of patriotic character for the entire nation.  And what we are up against is much worse than what was going on between Cincinnati and Newport, where even Bobby Kennedy targeted the Cleveland Four as his national crusade against the mob who certainly could care less about our right to self-rule and the rules of our Constitution.

Trump had to battle crime families and labor unions in New York, so he understands how to deal with this government mob.  And he knows that their power comes from turf control of regional areas where blue cities count the votes.  So the goal is to inject enough patriotism into those areas so that you take away the ability to cheat in those regions.  Looking at precinct maps of the previous election, the percentage spikes are obvious where election fraud occurred.   So, by disrupting those areas and their control over the regional population, Trump may not win those areas against Biden. Still, he can help the down ballots, where all the meat and potatoes are in this election.  We know there was election fraud, and the power of these government mobsters is in control of the regional areas, which is how they stack the deck.  However, the Trump and MAGA movement, in and of itself, is very similar to the fight between Simon Leis and Larry Flynt.  In that case, smut and pornography were used to hide the other criminal elements of the mass amount of normal mob business.  In this modern sense, it is progressive causes, such as racism, woke values, and trends of communism, as conducted by China through finance.  While many of us are looking at one thing, such as the unfairness applied to Trump by this far-left legal system, going all the way into the Bar Association, the real crimes of power occur in broad daylight, such as the fake war with Russia and Ukraine all to clean money through the effort toward the aims of territory control of those regions.  It’s the same game. 

Republicans could pick up at least ten seats in Congress in 2024.  And the Senate is a pretty wild ride.  It is leaning Democrat for now, but there are at least 5 or 6 races that could give a firm majority to MAGA Republicans.  But we need every last one to get those elected, like Bernie Moreno in Ohio and Kari Lake in Arizona.  That’s why it would not be wise to take a person who might otherwise be a good Republican senator, like J.D. Vance, and make them a VP pick, which takes them off the table for controlling the Senate.  We need to do more than elect Trump back into the Executive Branch.   We have to take control of the mobsters who run the Deep State.  Trump can best help himself in that effort by campaigning in areas controlled by that mob to free the people there in much the way Simon Leis did in Cincinnati in his smut war against Larry Flynt, which he mostly won.  Cincinnati is the model for how to save America from those same forces.  And in the coming months, I will spend a lot of time telling those stories so people can relate to the modern context.  The only difference is scale.  So, Trump’s campaigning in Democrat-controlled areas is more than a novelty.  It’s about overcoming the cheating machines in those areas to keep Democrats in office with high-engagement voters.  Trump has the personality to do that.  And in so doing, he will help take over the House and make a significant play for the Senate.  For those who think that voting doesn’t matter, the mob wants you to believe that.  That’s how they have continuously operated, taking hope away from innocent people who want to live their lives.  But they aren’t all-powerful, and their mechanisms can still be defeated, as they were in the past.  It just takes good people to stick up for themselves and to run these hoodlums back into the shadows to which they belong.

The Message Behind Putting Steve Bannon in Jail: Refusing to acknowledge that Trump was the official government, which he was

The real danger in the case against Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro from the January 6th Committee isn’t just in the jail time imposed on these former members of the Trump White House.  Of course, this is not the first in history where Congress pushed executive branch members to provide some testimony, and the claim of executive privilege was used to deny it.  Eric Holder was found in contempt of Congress.  So was Lois Lerner, along with many others.  It’s normal to claim executive privilege when another branch of government is seeking information from another.  But there is something far worse going on here; it’s not just an argument about executive privilege that is going on behind all the prosecutions of President Trump and the people who worked directly for him.  It’s a denial that President Trump ever had the right to be president and that anybody from his administration could never claim such a right because they never existed.  That is the essential legal premise that was upheld by the appeals court, which rejected the conviction of Steve Bannon, the former strategist for the White House and the current voice of the Warroom podcast, which is very popular.  We are learning how much our current government is like the mob and how large it is.  The premise of destruction that they are putting forth is arrogant and audacious.  Yet it is their political position to go all in and attack members of the Trump administration, which sets a precedent for all future presidents that will only lead to destruction one way or the other of the other side.  This is more than a political gamble; it’s a desperate attempt to show mass force by the power of government over the representatives of an elected government, and its menace has been overt, to say the least.

When the January 6th event occurred, and the Congressional committee of the same name was enacted to investigate the circumstances, it was a political event.  It had nothing to do with justice, just as the cases against Trump have nothing to do with crime, but in using political force to keep a rival from running for office.  For those doubters about election fraud in the 2020 election, just study the intent behind the January 6th Committee of Republicans and Democrats, and it will become clear that if they could cheat in the election, they certainly would.  And they certainly had the means to cheat massively, because of all the newly adopted Covid rules that were essentially written on the back of a napkin and had absolutely no Constitutional validity.  Democrats had been held in contempt of Congress many times, so when the shoe was on the other foot and Congress put together an investigation into President Trump’s role in what they were calling an insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro did what the established behavior was from the Executive Branch perspective and that is to refuse to testify.  If it had been me, I would have testified.  I think they should have testified.  I would have made a mess of their hearing with my testimony in ways that would have been far more destructive to them, the Committee members.  But I get it. Steve and Peter didn’t want to show any respect for a crooked court, and they used their Executive Privilege to protest that power over them as they had an established right to do so.  But, the committee representing the general sentiment of the Beltway culture refused to recognize that right, which is why these contempt charges were different and why Bannon is going to go to jail at a critical time in the election process of 2024, to get him off the table.  And Peter Navarro is already there. 

However, by all legal parameters, and this is where things get very dangerous and will have lasting effects for the future, either way, that same Beltway culture is refusing to acknowledge that the Trump administration even existed.  The purpose of the January 6th event and the following committee was to provide a cover story for a stolen government.  Trump was the popularly elected government at the time and was the authority.  Trump couldn’t have an insurrection against himself.  It was the Beltway culture of lawyers, politicians, political pundits, investors, and globalists who refused to believe that they did not have power over the people and that people would elect someone to office in the White House that they did not have control over.  So, by prosecuting Bannon and Navarro, there is more than a contempt charge going on here.  There is a message to the public that this government that took over through election fraud, a previously established government, was in charge.  And if they, too, didn’t want to rot away in jail, they better get on board and do what they were told.  The message couldn’t be more precise.  This stolen government was asserting power over the previous government by denying its existence and justifying its actions through some fake insurrection accusation when the Biden administration, controlled by globalist interests, had performed the actual crime.  And the January 6th participants who rioted against the Capitol on that day were upset.  They had a right to be.  Their government had been taken from them, and they were given Joe Biden, but they weren’t OK with it.

As with all authoritarian governments, particularly communist ones, shows of force like this are common.  This is not an unusual playbook.  However, through our checks on power and divided government, we have an assumption in America that we can avoid these kinds of problems, which provides a stable platform for a constructive society that is financially viable.  However, the premise behind attacking members of Trump’s White House and Trump himself as he runs for President this third time is that the enemy is perfectly willing to throw the baby out with the bath water to get what they want out of it.  And if that means the destruction of America, that’s just as good for them.  These are evil people using the same audacious display of power and control as we saw among mobsters in American culture, and they have hijacked our legal system as a cover for their intent to commit crimes.  And on this stage, we are talking about crimes through the force and security of global communism.  They don’t care that throwing political rivals in jail might make people mad because they have already declared war against those who voted for the Trump administration.  Like the mob, putting Navarro and Bannon in jail and anybody else they can get their hands on is a warning.  They don’t care about the fairness of it.  Or the legality of it.  They only want to destroy their political opposition by any means.  And that is how we need to talk about this case, and we certainly can’t put up with it.  These are some of the most significant crimes in the history of the world, and we can’t just turn our back on them.  The bad guys have to be punished severely.  And the bad guys are not Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon.  But those who refuse to acknowledge that Trump was the legitimate government from 2016 to 2020.  2024, they will be more popular than ever because people want to pick their government.  They don’t like it selected for them by globalist forces who use the government as a cover for crimes against humanity, as evil people have always sought to do.

Fighting the Uniparty: Appeasing evil only makes it stronger

When Marjorie Taylor Green made a motion to vacate the Speaker seat in Congress, it was more than a cosmetic gesture.  The boos and hisses that commenced when she did so were what she indicated as the “uni party,” a combination of Republicans and Democrats who have joined together to benefit from the offices they were elected to for the power that comes with it and the money that can be made in its wake.  The bottom line is that Johnson has been getting pushed around, letting the Democrats run the House anyway, making Republican majorities just a token footnote.  Democrats want a pacifist like Johnson as Speaker because it allows the Democrats to hide their communist plots behind the responsibility of Republicans, which has been a trick of the “uni party” for many years now.  Remember what I did at the end of the 2020 election when I sat down with everyone and read the works of Cleon Skousen, the old FBI agent who wrote The 5000 Year Leap and The Naked Communist, and I showed you the plan to inject communism into both parties.  And that process became the uni party where Republicans and Democrats essentially divorced themselves from those who elected them and rolled like pigs in the mud to the power and money that came their way by matters of corporate communism.  I mean, what else are you going to call it?  Corporations wanted Chinese-style communism, adopted those measures, used the money to buy off crooked and corrupted politicians, and built a “uni party” to facilitate the Lords of Easy Money.  And poof, you get what we have in Washington, D.C., now.  The kind of people who conspired to get rid of Trump through a government coup.  And a way to keep the easy money flowing with ineffective government and a lack of voter representation. 

But Green had a point, and it was now that Republicans should be demanding authenticity of office, and if Johnson wasn’t going to be the guy, then Republicans needed to find out who it would be.  It doesn’t do any good to elect Trump and put him back in the White House only to have a uni party still in control of the House and Senate.  Sure, on paper, you might show a Republican majority, but that has been all an illusion.  They are not in office to do the people’s work, the way that Marjorie Taylor Green is, or other freedom caucus types.  They are there for the easy money and power from those positions.  And we have to smoke that out before we can even hope to have a government that legitimately works for us again if they ever did.  The other day, I told a good friend as we were talking about lofty things; he’s a powerful politician, and we were contemplating the universe.  I was reflecting on a book I have from the Statehouse of Ohio that I love and what I said about it, “People might fall short of the lofty expectations of government, but at least we try.”  Our government buildings are often better than those of us who fill them as elected officers.  But some do try to live up to those lofty expectations.  Yet many others fall for every temptation that comes their way and seek to make a lot of money off the chaos.  And in essence, that is what the uni party is.  In other ways of making a living, they are worthless.  But the power of government makes them somebodies.  And they exploit it without much coaxing. 

Not that Speaker Johnson is corrupt.  I think he’s a nice guy.  But surrounded by the kind of vipers he is, he’s too nice.  If you want to be the hand of God, you can’t be a wimp.  You have to fight like you want to bring Heaven to earth, not to appease the evil of Hell.  Playing to get along with evil only gives power to evil, and soon, you have a government out of control and running off the rails.   Of course, the media wants a corrupt government because it makes it spicy for them to work in.  Plenty of bread crumbs fall off the table, which they can enrich themselves with as well.  Most media members are lazy, and they are not fighting for the Constitution or God.  They, indeed, aren’t fighting for America.  At best, they are looking for a free drink and an easy bed partner under intoxicated circumstances in a hotel with a half-burnt-out neon light so they can tell the story on Facebook to a bunch of worthless people who could care less other than to gossip about.  The “uni party” is filled with these kinds of people who don’t care that they let down the people who voted for them.  They are missing their moral compass and are always on a quest for easy money, which comes from the various communist forces around the world who want to bring down our country with greed and laziness.  When money is easy, the courage to fight for our country is very low, evident in the creation of the uni party.   Because he’s weak and friendly, Speaker Johnson only facilitates the evil of the uni party as it exists now in Washington, D.C. 

Trump is only part of the puzzle in eradicating that uni party.  We don’t want Democrats and Republicans working together if the Democrats are working for communism and the destruction of our country.  That may not have been what Democrats were over 50 years ago.  But it’s what they are now, and I would say that most Republicans aren’t too far behind.  The 45 Planks of Communism showed in that referred book, The Naked Communist, are very real.  They are motivated by globalist forces to destroy the concept of America, and they exploit weak-minded people to facilitate their aims.  So yes, the “Uniparty,” as it exists, is something we should actively eliminate.  And if we have to have the motion to vacate the Speaker seat yet again, then so be it.  We don’t just need a token Republican majority that will work with Democrats to help destroy our country one policy at a time.  We need people fighting for it and working with Trump to form an America First Policy.  And to take away the power of the Lords of Easy Money, starting with our out-of-control Federal Reserve and its maniacal connection to international finance.  I can promise those bankers are not walking around with copies of our American Constitution that they intend to preserve at all costs. Instead, they have a lift pass for a ski slope in Switzerland on their mind, and as 50-year-old men, they have 22-year-old girlfriends hanging on their every word, perfectly willing to trade sex for an easy life, all hours of the day.  That is the world of the “uni party.”  That is what Speaker Johnson is trying to appease with his soft manner and gentle ways, hoping God will throw him a bone.  No, you must fight for things in this life and stand by good in defeating evil, especially in government and the Uniparty.   They can’t be reasoned with.  They must be destroyed and nothing else.

Democrats are Planning Not to Certify President Trump’s Victory: The domestic enemies of America are vicious and daring us to fight them

Let me explain something to you fools out there: that little show of solidarity that Speaker Johnston and others from Washington showed behind President Trump on May 14th, 2024, is about three years too late.  Sure, it’s better late than never.  But it clearly shows that many people don’t understand the fight we are fighting.  The Democrats are viciously evil.  They are not your friends.  Even as we speak, they are already making plans not to certify the election for President Trump should they win enough seats in Congress to take back the House.  Or, they are counting on enough RINO Republicans to get squishy and vote their way to not certify the election once Trump wins this November, which he is poised to do, and then some.   Yes, remember all that nonsense about Mike Pence doing the right thing, and certifying the 2020 election with the deciding vote, which put Trump out of the White House and gave us this stupid fool, the criminal Joe Biden, who just this week, his daughter proclaimed that the contents of her diary were true, and that she did shower with her dad as a young girl.  This was not a conspiracy theory.  These are bad, horrendous people, and they are playing for keeps.  And they are not planning to give back the reigns of power over a silly little ol’ election where the people pick their favorite representatives.  No, they are plotting and scheming our destruction moment by moment, and they think you are all suckers.  Even as people from the Trump White House are in jail or going to jail, and now, after many years, there are still many January 6th prisoners rotting away with no prospect at being released.  While Republicans sit around looking for fairness.  They play by the rules while the entire Democrat Party platform exists to break them. 

There are a lot of conservatives who have known for a long time that the game is rigged against us, and we are tired of it.  This placating evil thing has not worked out well, and think about what I’m saying here.  With all the spectacle that there was about getting Trump out of the White House, how Democrats used the rules to essentially establish a coup against a popularly elected President.  Knowing that they will lose power by that same voting system, they will attempt to block that certification process at every step of the way.  When Trump wins in November, the election, Democrats are not going to do what Mike Pence did and go through the routine of certifying the electors toward the politician who received the most votes in the electoral college.  They are going to attempt to burn down cities and send illegal immigrants home to home with a show of violence, hoping to cause as much chaos as possible to punish people for not voting for them.  Democrats are like the mobsters of old.  That’s why we don’t hear about the mob anymore; they went from illegal businesses into government, instead of fearing prosecutors.  They became the prosecutors.  They became the members of the House.  They became the President.  And if you don’t obey them, they will cut off a horse’s head and put it in your bed if they think they can get away with it.  They are ruthless, vicious, and plotting maniacal fools.  They are bloodthirsty.  And they have no intention of giving back power over a silly election.  That power will have to be ripped away from them.  And they will have to be punished tenaciously.

They aren’t intimidated by any Republican solidarity that was shown to President Trump forty years too late; they aren’t shaking in their boots.  They are laughing, because they know what they are willing to do, and they know Republicans won’t do it.  You watch.  It will be the day after the election in November of 2024 and the story will be that Democrats are planning not to certify the election of Trump for a number of reasons.  But it will be their only play after all the court attempts to destroy him have failed.  And all the attempts by the media to disparage him will have shown that Trump even won in heavily Democrat areas and that Joe Biden lost the election so badly that Jimmy Carter will have finally lost that title to the word “landslide.”  Everything will have failed for them, and they will have nothing else but to attempt not to certify Trump to the White House.  They will try to tie it up as much as possible, and in many ways nobody has ever seen before.  Because that is their nature.  They are vicious.  And they have every intention of showing their teeth and doing to us what they accused us of thinking of doing when we had the power not to certify the election and send it back to the states to keep Trump in office.  Democrats won’t just talk about it.  They’ll do it.  And they won’t feel one bit guilty about it as they do.  They will force us to fight them in the streets.  They will be happy to destroy our Constitution because they don’t like it anyway.  They are globalists.  They are communists.  They are thugs, liars, cutthroats, and, on a good day, criminals.  And they have no respect for Republicans because they have observed us for a long time and think they can get away with anything.

Way back in 2015, when people laughed about Trump entering the presidential race when he made the now-famous descent down the escalator at Trump Tower, I would explain all this to them, and they would look at me like I was just a disgruntled rebel who wanted a fight.  That our political system was sophisticated and righteous.  And I explained how far gone everything was to anybody who would listen, and they just giggled under their breaths and thought they knew better.  Well, it had to be Trump for all the reasons we have been seeing, and only now do people seem to understand these domestic enemies that we know as Democrats, finally.  Only now did Republicans show up to show support for President Trump during his New York trial with Fat Alvin and the gang of communist thugs who are running our judicial system there.  Punishment for the crimes that Democrats put forth and intend to utilize in the months to come can only go one way.  It has to be ruthless.  You can’t sit around crying about it, about unfairness, and how sad it is.  You have to get tough.  And you have to be willing to fight it out.  And when Democrats try to steal this election, too, as they did in 2020 when dumb Republicans thought that the real value was in following the rules and preserving our system of a peaceful transfer of power.  When Democrats refuse to leave the White House and all the other power positions they’ve managed to capture, they will dare us into violence, knowing we don’t have the stomach for it.  Which is why it will be likely that it will be our only option.  They’ll make it that way, and as we contemplate that inevitability, they are plotting our destruction with every breath of every word of insurrection that can be applied against the United States of America.  Because they don’t care about the country or its survival.  They only want more power so they can commit more crimes.  That is what we are dealing with, and that’s probably too nice.

Roger Reynolds Has His Conviction Overturned on Appeals: When people like Fat Alvin use the power of government to destroy political rivals

It was a rigged, political case in Butler County. And the prosecutors wasted a lot of tax money on a personal hit job.

I wish people would listen.  I feel like that frustrated parent who has all the answers but has to stand by and watch their kids make dumb mistakes that cause them much pain and suffering anyway.  And if you care about everyone, it can be a harrowing experience.  But essentially, from the beginning, the prosecution against Roger Reynolds, the popular Butler County Auditor, was as flimsy of a case and motivated by the same intentions as the Fat Alvin case in New York against President Trump.  These are purely political cases where the prosecutors are trying to use legal warfare to take out political rivals.  In this case, it was elements of the Republican Party in Butler County, even extending into the Attorney General of Ohio to exert power and position within the party.  It had nothing to do with any actual crimes committed.  Roger Reynolds found himself having the law used against him in a weaponized format, something that happens more often than people would like to think, over disagreements regarding family connections and how tax money is spent, just theorizing on such spending.  And for that Roger Reynolds has had to pay a fortune in legal bills, lose over three years of his life professionally, during his prime income-building years, and was popularly elected into a very powerful auditor position only to be removed from office because of a conviction on a last minute charge tossed over the fence to attempt to get anything to stick against him to get a jury to put him in jail for 30 days and ruin his political career for the rest of his life.  The case had nothing to do with justice but everything to do with power, who controls the legal system, and how they can then use it to take out political rivals.  And nothing more.

On Monday, May 13th, 2024 after many years of fighting for his innocence, a 10th District Court of Appeals in Columbus reversed the conviction against Roger Reynolds from a few years earlier, bringing somewhat to an end the long ordeal that started for him back during Covid when some of the people from Roger’s office as auditor stopped coming to work over Covid rules.  Now I get Roger’s position. I’ve talked to him about it, and I am even more traditional regarding the COVID rules for employment.  Doctors don’t run our economy and when they stuck their noses into our business with all these new globalist Covid rules, they were way over the line.  It was the job of science to figure out how to stop COVID-19 and its spread with science.  Not to shut the world down with a bunch of new rules to establish a new normal.  And some of these kids then, and now, thought that meant they could all work from home to avoid spreading the virus.  When Roger had to deal with that trend in his office, he let people go for not coming to work, and that made people mad.  People then promised their family members that they had the power of the law at their back and could get revenge on Roger.  At that point, an attendance issue then became a big labor one where communist policies seep into the assumptions of a government workforce, and the power of government is then weaponized against that assumption. 

At that point, Sheriff Jones made it his mission to go after Roger Reynolds, spend money on investigations, and waste a lot of money in court proceedings to destroy Roger Reynolds’s life in court.  Many different charges were thrown in Roger’s way, with the power of the Attorney General being added to the mix, trying to make the former auditor look like a corrupt official who had abused his power of office for personal gain.  But nothing was sticking, and Roger was found innocent of all charges.  At the last minute, this issue with Lakota schools and a country club golf connection came up, and Roger suggested to the treasurer that some tax money being returned to the school be applied to a venture that he thought would be a good idea.  It was just a discussion about how to spend tax money.  But Sheriff Jones and the prosecutors threw the weight of their office to destroy the life of Roger Reynolds in precisely the same way that Fat Alvin has been doing to Trump.  Over the last few years, we’ve seen it happening more and more as these same tactics have been used nationwide.  It has been the collision of why people pursue big government jobs to have immense power over innocent people, which is the problem.  When government is sought and used to give power to people who otherwise wouldn’t have it, abuse of government then becomes the subject, and the warning of why we never want to give any people, no matter who they are, too much power through government to abuse others over a quest for power.  In most cases, even if the prosecutors get a conviction, they are being overturned on appeals.  But by the time a defendant spends years trying to prove their innocence, their lives are destroyed in the process.  So, even if they don’t go to jail, they are destroyed in the process.  Now that Roger Reynolds has had his conviction overturned, where does he go to get his reputation back?

I am proud to call Roger Reynolds a friend through all this.  I’ve told him this when I’ve seen him throughout this process.  I am proud of how tough he has stayed in proving his innocence.  I want to see him get back into elected office and do good work because when political enemies see you as that much of a threat, I want to see people like Roger sticking it to those powers to keep things honest.  I would hire Roger Reynolds before and after this appeals ruling because Roger is one of the good guys.  And in a world run by evil and malicious people, like Fat Alvin in New York is against Trump, they are the ones who need to be punished and be fired from government work whenever possible.  I remember the day the indictments came down against Roger and the people who called me to talk about it, very haughtily.  These were small-government conservatives who were impressed with Sheriff Jones’s power to drum up charges to essentially take down a rival within the Republican Party.  And I was surprised how many people played along with it because it was wrong.  I knew it was a crooked case from the beginning because I knew all the people involved and understood the rivalry in ways that weren’t reported in the media.  But what surprised me was how vicious the ordeal became, where the lawyers were the only ones who profited.  They are pleased to have millions of dollars wasted on their services over an issue that essentially was just a family rivalry within a political party.  And this is why we must always watch how people use government power, and why we can’t give too much of it to any one person.  Because they can’t handle the temptation to abuse it.  However, in the case of Roger Reynolds, he was always innocent of those ridiculous charges.  And it’s fantastic that the appeals court saw the case for what it was and reversed the conviction.  Justice still works, even if it takes a while, and a lot of money has to be spent on it to get it.  Let’s go back to dueling, as I say more often.  It was a lot cheaper, and the real bad guys usually went away, saving taxpayers a lot of money in the future.

Process Efficiency Through Fast Draw Shooting Sports: How to eliminate communism from any culture

There is a root cause of big government and communism in general, and it essentially all comes down to laziness.  The best hedge a country could have to protect itself from communism is an emphasis on hard work and personal improvement.  If you have an efficient society where personal conduct is rewarded, you will have a better society generally.  And they will not vote for communism and all the various follies of Marxism.  I have figured out that over time by participating in Cowboy Fast Draw, particularly a great group of people I have known for quite a while, many years before I started shooting with them, The Ohio Fast Draw Association.  I think of it as one of the best sports that the human race has come up with, but in making it an actual sport that has very rigid rules and regulations, as most shooting sports do that involve real guns and ammunition, the drive toward speed and accuracy has created a window into the purity of human intellect that I find endlessly fascinating.  And that’s what was on my mind as my wife and I had a wonderful meal at the Punderson Manor overlooking one of the deepest lakes formed by glaciation near downtown Cleveland, Ohio.  We were camping across the lake and preparing for one of the first Fast Draw competitions of the year just a few miles to the north, and economic systems and process efficiencies were most on my mind as I thought about current events over pork covered in honey and garlic sauce.  Out of all the educational institutions and means of human intellect, I think the best representation of efficiency matched with risk formed out of Cowboy Fast Draw and America’s fascination with Western arts and entertainment. 

It was something most obviously revealed during Covid, which we all know now was created in a Wuhan lab and released by China and a lot of other nefarious governments for a Great Reset by the World Economic Forum to spread communist-style government micromanaged by a massive, leftist, Administrative State.  And so many companies and governments were ready to jump on and sign us all up for it by a media poised to spread the news as fast as television broadcasts could put up death graphs on the side of their visuals.  This was the theme of my 2021 book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, which I wrote and published during the first year of the Biden presidency, on the heels of the most ostentatious takeover by governments over private industry using Covid as their excuse.  But I wasn’t happy just pointing it out; I wanted to understand why human beings did this to themselves because that is where the real answers to life are.  That is why people were so quick to wear masks during the Covid crises, which were artificially created.  More specifically, when you look at a process for a big company, you will find that they have too many administrative employees and entirely too many rules.  Incompetent people use rules and large administrative practices to hide their incompetency from the eyes of a competitive world.  And you really don’t see that in people until you hang around people addicted to speed like there are in Cowboy Fast Draw events.  Human beings create a lot of rules and drag on any innovation system because they are timid and weak as personalities who look to shield themselves from risk through legislation.  And it is those kinds of people who make governments restrictive and crave communism and the security of a perpetual nanny state.

Of course, the sport of fast draw, especially The Ohio Fast Draw Association that I shoot with several times a year, is to shoot at a target when a light flashes on it and to draw a .45 caliber single action pistol with a wax bullet, as fast as you can from a holster at various distances.  What I like about the Ohio Fast Draw guys is that they have a variety of combat scenarios that are part of their competitions, and it forces you to find the fastest means to achieve the objective within some rigid rules that are always part of shooting sports.  The endeavor aims to manage risk and competence toward the stated goal.  Not to run and hide from it, as most organizations do where this problem of individual merit isn’t addressed.  In my real life, outside of shooting sports, which I consider a real vacation from the sluggish minds of bureaucracy and considerable government inefficiency, I would say that most people have some element of timidity in them that is open to government expansion over improved processing, I see how a lack of management over personal risk drags the world down in unhealthy ways.  People love their rules, their regulations, and their slow rate of completion in things because they are terrified of the actual responsibility of accomplishment.  At Cowboy Fast Draw events, all people generally agree that the goal is to shoot fast, hit the target, and find the most efficient process to perform the task.  That means drawing the gun from my holster in fractions of a second and shooting as soon as the barrel clears the leather.  There is no hiding the intent behind process rules disguised to protect the incompetent from the expectations of performance.  And I never get enough of it.  There are usually six or more events per year, and I always get a lot out of all of them, but what I get most is time away from the sluggish people of the world and their slow obsessions with administrative practices that hide their grotesque lives from competitive expectations. 

Since my last competitive event with these Ohio Fast Draw guys, I have been to Japan twice to deal with real-world issues of efficiency and competence necessity.  In Japan, they do not run from competitive expectations; they fully embrace them as a mass culture.  They are not in love with the process flow that protects themselves from competitive expectations, which is part of their samurai culture that is still alive and well there.  As my wife and I ate our meal and looked out over that lake, this was May of 2024, and my last competition was September of 2023. During that time, I had a chance to observe Japanese culture up close and personal, including how they eat.  Many lights came on for me as to the cause of human society leaning toward communist governments and why corporations of all kinds were so quick to do so.  Those elements of the fast draw and Japanese society painted across the current events of our times revealed a nasty sentiment holding back the human race for many years.  But the sport of fast draw had purged it out and away from its hiding places, and I have found myself obsessed with the results.  It was the root cause behind all the Lean work that had been developed in Japan with the Toyota efficiency standards, into why people behaved the way they did when work was presented to them, and responsibility for success fell on their shoulders.  It would take America’s gun culture to match up with the most successful economy in the world to evolve the sentiment, which I always cherish at competitive shooting events that tell more than just the story of American tradition.  But peel back the veil to the most wonderful elements of human intellect, the ability to use risk to produce efficiency and innovation that otherwise would never come to be.

The Lies of the Biden Economy: Claiming Covid jobs as economic credit for a Marxist government

Calling someone a liar and a typical political thief is one thing.  But in the case of Joe Biden and his Marxist handlers, to have proof of it is something else.   The economic numbers for Biden are not good and, in many ways, getting worse because not even the communist media will carry water for him as they have.  When they try to tell us that he was legitimately elected, remember what I did as the very first thing.  My wife and I packed up in our RV and went out into the desert to think and get some perspective, which I needed.  I remembered some of this as recently, my wife and I traveled to Cleveland for a fast-draw competitive event and lived out of our RV for an extended period.  We were watching Trump’s speech in New Jersey, where he indicated that he would make a play to win some of those heavy Democrat areas.  It was raining outside, and we had an exceptionally cozy evening together.  We were talking about Trump returning to office and thinking of the first few months of the horrendous Biden presidency, where the shoe was on the other foot.  Since we were so political, we were among the hundred ones, which had been made clear to me.  So we went to the desert of New Mexico to consider what to do next.  I made some adjustments to my life as a result, and then there we were, watching Trump from that same RV a few years later with the rain pouring down outside after a day of shooting and lots of gunsmoke, and the truth was all coming out on Biden.  We knew Biden didn’t win the election with 81 million votes because we had traveled extensively, and they were nowhere to be found.  The Biden people had lied about their election and their presidency, and we were the first to see it.   Now, it was obvious to everyone. 

That same process occurred with Biden’s economic numbers.  We all know we had a much better economy with Trump until the Covid virus was created in a Wuhan lab and released to the world by not only the Chinese but the global communists at the World Economic Forum who wanted to distribute the China model of communism to the world with a Great Reset had wanted to stop that excellent Trump economy hurting him during an election year.  According to Department of Defense reports now, COVID was a bioweapon, and they released it during that year, as they had been planning to destroy Trump’s economy and make their power move for global domination.  Things didn’t work out as they had imagined, and world domination wasn’t happening. All those lunatic billionaires retreated to their hiding places in Davos, and the world tried to somewhat return to normal, hoping everyone would forget about it, even though millions of people had died along the way.  We are all still coming to grips with that tragedy and our government’s role in the scamdemic.  The contents of that contemplation are still considered a massive conspiracy theory, even though the proof is all around us and was all along.   Those same forces wanted a puppet president and found one in Biden. They put him in place with massive election fraud done behind the veil of COVID-19, which allowed them to do so.  This is an element they would not have in 2024, as people are just waking up to deal with all this terrible news, most evident by the Biden economy, which was harming people at every level of society.

Oh, I know, these are hard to think about for people who want to take their kids to soccer practice and buy their next steak dinner off Amazon.  I had a front-row seat, and I think about these things in ways others don’t, so it doesn’t matter when people realize that they have been scammed by a massive government conspiracy centered around the United Nations trying to push Chinese communism to every corner of the world through corporate influence and international finance.  But the truth is easy in this case: the Biden administration has been lying about their economic recovery, saying they had created more jobs than any president in the history of the world, and even skeptical people have been scratching their heads, wondering where they were.  Well, they were the jobs destroyed during Covid, when these same con people convinced President Trump to turn off the economy to save lives, which he did—resulting in the biggest con job the world had ever seen.  And once Trump was out of office, and all the political rivals of Biden had been hunted down, prosecuted, or thrown in jail, the Biden people had to finally give up on Covid as a cover story because the world was coming apart in anger over the issue.  If the Biden people could have, Covid lockdowns would still be happening, with the “new normal,” as they used to say.  But people realized there was a thing called the Constitution, and the lockdowns were illegal.  And the governors across the country were losing their cases and had to reopen the economy. 

Along the way of that reopening, the jobs that the COVID lockdowns had destroyed became open again, and those are the massive job creations that Biden is now claiming his administration has created.  They are saying all this with a straight face and expect the public to accept it without question.  That’s how stupid they think we all are.  And how malicious they are and how much they have lied to everyone.  Even with all the scrutiny, they believe they will get away with lying about their job numbers without the context of a pre-Covid lockdown reality that returned to normal in the years following during the Biden administration.  The Biden economy has been a disaster, as any socialist economy would be, and that has been their policy, and the measures have been obvious.  Their lies about the job reports are much worse because people know better.  But think that if they will lie about these job numbers, what else they have been lying about that is that much harder to prove?  The only thing preventing people from seeing the truth is that they won’t believe it because they can’t imagine that people are that evil and malicious.  Yet, they are, the Biden people.  They are cruel and malicious.  And slowly, people are realizing it.  That’s why people were camped out in New Jersey to see Trump give the same speech over and over, and even Fox News carried the whole thing from beginning to end.  There were over 100,000 people at that Trump event, and it did terrify the political left and the uniparty.  Even with all the crazy court trials, nothing was stopping Trump, and the writing was on the wall.  People knew they had been lied to about Trump and many other things.  And they wanted a change; they wanted their good economy back.  And they were done with Biden and his con artist lies.  They have started to admit to this, which was the first step in solving the problem for good.

A Love Letter to America: Season 5 of ‘Yellowstone’

Now that I have watched the Yellowstone series it has confirmed something that I had suspected, which made it a more urgent project.  There is a lot more going on with it than just an entertaining television show.  Taylor Sheridan and the gang are making a point and they know who their audience is, which was obvious at the start of Season 5 if you know what you are looking for.  Of course, Yellowstone is the popular television show for Paramount Plus, which many have called a love letter to the MAGA political movement.  Over the various seasons, Sheridan and the gang obviously struggled with this impression.  After all, they are Hollywood lefties and they didn’t want to be viewed by their peers as a bunch of radical right-winged lunatics.  However, the show has become increasingly popular over the five seasons because the topic of a modern Western has captured the hearts and minds of an audience hungry for content that represents their concerns.  Taylor Sheridan has become a scorching commodity since all the shows he’s producing suddenly are doing very well, not just with Yellowstone, but also the spin-off shows like 1883, 1923, and Bass Reeves.  There are more in the works, but these are all excellent shows, and in my wildest dreams, I never thought I’d see them on television.  They remind me of the old westerns I grew up with, like Gunsmoke and Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie, and I didn’t think Hollywood could produce anything like that ever again.  However, with Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner, along with others, there is a revolt against Hollywood that has been going on in Montana and Texas, which has its own kinetic energy that is giving voice to America, which is crying out for its own existence. 

If you’ve ever dealt with Hollywood types you will know that they are cosmetically, outright Marxists.  But around the catering truck, they are like everyone else.  They are mostly Marxists because they have to be to get work, and the financiers of their projects want global communism; otherwise, their projects don’t get greenlit.  But on rare occasions, sometimes you can flip the script on that process, and when someone like Taylor Sheridan is successful, the greed factor takes over, and the finance people forget about Marxism and turn to the glitter and glory of massive profit, which is one of the great attributes of capitalism.  Yellowstone is not a show that could have been made for state-run television.  It is a love letter to the foundation of America, and it is oozing in patriotism.  With the success that Taylor Sheridan has found with these projects, he is moving in a more obvious direction politically, which is similar to what we’ve seen with Elon Musk, President Trump, and Joe Rogan, all people who voted Democrat but have changed over time, based on what they have seen.  At the beginning of Season 5, when John Dutton becomes governor of Montana to essentially save his ranch from developers who want to build an airport, during the swearing-in scene, there is a long pause before putting his hand on the Bible, where Kevin Costner is throwing obvious red meat to the Hollywood community.  The purpose of the scene was to show that the Yellowstone production had not gone native and thrown their lot in with God, even though Kevin Costner does end up doing so and swearing to protect the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic.  But the scene’s purpose, even if Taylor Sheridan will never admit to it, was to throw the Hollywood Reporter types into a tailspin of doubt.  Because the rest of the season, the next eight episodes are a love letter to American life that I never thought I’d see in a Hollywood production again. 

In real life, Sheridan and much of the cast have found themselves enamored by the majesty of the flyover states, which has rarely happened to famous Hollywood personalities.  And rather than hiding from it, they have embraced it more.  In the case of Sheridan, he has bought ranches and is desperately trying to tell the story of everyday Americans in this struggle with a true phantom menace of Marxism without calling it that.  There are many parts of Season 5 in Yellowstone where Beth Dutton, the daughter of John Dutton and the apparent future of the show, delivers some of the best pro-American lines that have ever been done in entertainment, on the level of Clint Eastwood and John Wayne.  And they were possible because of that setup of ambiguity at the start of the season with the Bible.  Usually, with these kinds of projects and the success that comes with them, any romantic notions that a producer like Taylor Sheridan receives take the ambition out of the projects, and they become more corporate as more people are interested in attaching themselves to the success.  But not here; Yellowstone has become more authentic.  And even though they probably find the idea repulsive, Yellowstone is more MAGA in the notion of Make America Great Again.  They may not want to admit that they like President Trump.  However, they are after the same things Trump and his supporters wish for in life.  We want our country, and we want to love it.  America is speaking and doing so loudly at the heart of the Yellowstone series and all the Taylor Sheridan projects. 

I don’t think Yellowstone planned to be this way from the beginning.  But what it has ended up becoming, and Taylor Sheridan himself, is an authentic love letter to the creation of America.  As I became more interested in these Taylor Sheridan shows, I caught him on a podcast with Joe Rogan talking about the western 1883 and the genuine plight of a new nation needing to fulfill the needs of Manifest Destiny, where advertisements around the world were begging people to come and settle America for a piece of it.  And much of the world, under various forms of tyranny and the early versions of Marxism, wanted more than anything to have a piece of their own life, even if it meant having to come and fight Indians to the death just for the opportunity.  Taylor Sheridan, throughout his various television series, is grappling with this problem, and it all leans toward the reasons America needed to exist in the first place and is stepping away from the Hollywood Marxism that has so ruined entertainment to its present condition.  And because of all that, people love Yellowstone and the other Taylor Sheridan projects.  I am indeed a fan.  There is some real heart in what is being produced around the Yellowstone series, much better than The Godfather or Dallas, which it has been compared to.  Yellowstone is a love letter to America that has needed to happen for a long time.  And it’s a story told by people going through their own transformation into patriotism.  I have always been conservative.  But I am happy to see more people becoming that way as they learn the real history of America, even if it takes success to free them enough to have that point of view.  Watching Yellowstone is worth the effort to get to Season 5.  And whatever happens in the future with the show, what has happened up to this point can’t be undone.  It’s part of America’s story now; and many people will be better because of it.
