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.

The Anti-Woke Message of Deadpool: It’s all about regeneration and healing

I always have learned a lot from young people.  Yes, adults have lived long lives and have much to teach based on experience.  But kids are freshly created and don’t have assumptions yet baked into their thought process.  So I listened when one of my grandsons wanted to see the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie doing big business at the theater.  It’s one of the rare movies these days to hit over one billion dollars, so that’s a significant financial triumph that is at least good for theater owners.  I want theater owners to survive all this World Economic Forum wokeness, so I was interested in why so many people liked Deadpool.  I’m not a Deadpool fan. I don’t want to see Marvel characters cursing and talking about sex and drugs, and the Deadpool movies are R-rated experiences filled with a lot of bad stuff.  So, up to now, I have had zero interest in anything Deadpool.  However, my policy with my children and grandchildren is to take the edge away of any forbidden fruits in society with guidance.  So when he asked me to take him to the movie theater to see the movie, I didn’t hesitate.  We made it a somewhat family affair, with my daughters going along to watch the film with us and make any commentary about it that needed to be made from an adult leadership perspective.  All the world needs is another kid out there speaking in a trashy way with F-bombs and drug references.  And this was a Disney production now, so here was Disney, who used to get criticized for making too many G-rated movies, putting out an R-rated horror of sin and indulgence.  However, after watching the movie, I noticed much worth seeing, which became apparent quickly.  And I could understand why my grandson liked Deadpool so much.   I have always liked Wolverine from the X-Men, so I thought I could at least like that much of it.  But in the end, I liked Deadpool & Wolverine for many unexpected reasons.

So here’s the lowdown I have talked about extensively throughout the previous decade: Disney is dead.  They have mismanaged the company and are only surviving now because they are too big to fail.  But they have lost their core audience.  They enjoy decades of brand building, and roughly 50% of all adults are willing to go into serious debt to take their kids to Disney World for a vacation.  That trend will not pass to the next generation, so once these current kids grow up and become adults themselves, they will not follow that path.  I am happy I could take my kids, their kids, and their husbands to Disney World last year, which was extraordinarily expensive.  At least my family had a chance to see Disney before it declined into oblivion, and the Deadpool character is very much a cultural symbol of that. Part of what makes Deadpool movies so funny is that Disney is aware of its decline, and that’s part of the strange joke in the film.  Deadpool used to be a 20th Century Fox thing, but after Bob Iger, as the CEO, bought up that media property, they acquired several Marvel characters, such as Spiderman, the X men, and, of course, Deadpool, among other things.  But it was like bringing in Kamala Harris for president over Joe Biden for Disney.  It was a sugar high at best and only delayed the inevitable decline of a media company that had gone global woke and lost its domestic audience toward family value.  It’s hard to become a leader of the global citizen movement as an anti-family provocateur of sexual grooming of children and still be the bastion of family values that it’s known for.  That is why theme parks still get so much respect from parents who want to give their children a good life and think a vacation there will do the trick.  But it can’t; once you lose that reputation, it’s gone forever. 

Yet that is the theme of the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie.  Both characters are about regeneration; when wounded, they heal almost like reptiles.  So, the movie and the characters are more about second chances than anything else.  And in a social context, that is the same thing the nation and world are going through.  Most people can relate to Deadpool and all his mistakes because, at his heart, he is a person who wants to do good and be respected.  Ultimately, Deadpool wants to become a respected Avenger and to be one of the good guys, which I found surprising given the R-rated nature of the content.  However, the movie is very self-aware of its situation in society; it is essentially an anti-woke movie in the style of an old 80s film that checks all the boxes of the World Economic Forum investors who require excessive wokeness to be produced.  There are a lot of gay references in the film and discussions about drugs, but not in a way that promotes them as much as Deadpool has to overcome them to be who he wants to be.  But yet, the plot is filled with overt references, which, of course, the wokesters out there love.  I don’t support any of that, but as a running commentary on our current social status and the position of Disney as a media company that is undoubtedly headed on hard times ahead, it is an interesting observation of itself. 

The Marvel films had a plan that started with a series of movies in the last decade that were very traditional heroic enterprises.  I loved the Captain America movies, and the Civil War between Captain America and Iron Man, with all the tag-alongs, was terrific cinema.  But then we entered the overt woke era of the most recent movies, and there are a lot of horrible decisions made, starting with Captain Marvel and moving into The Eternals, which I thought was a horrendously lousy movie with overt gay characters in it that just made the whole thing no fun to watch.  Disney continues to make horrible decisions, such as what they are doing with their Land of the Villains announcement for Disney World, their closing of Tom Sawyer’s Island, which is my favorite part, and embracing villains in their family offerings because these days, so many people see themselves as Deadpool sees himself.  They can’t relate with the good guys anymore.  But at least with Deadpool, he wants to be a good guy, even though he’s been essentially a bad guy.  Marvel is trying to do as the characters in Deadpool & Wolverine: regenerate themselves and heal.  Their new Marvel movies are trying to get back to the basics.  As America tries to make itself Great Again as a country, media companies are also trying to do the same.  Everyone is looking in the mirror and asking if this is where we want to be.  That is what the new Deadpool movie is all about, asking those essential questions.  So it was pretty good.  Too late to save Disney.  But it’s a good thing to talk about as a patient lays dying on an operating table as a last thought and sentiment.  There is a humanity in Deadpool that people are clinging to, which surprised me.  And I certainly understand why young people would be attracted to that message.  They want to have hope that their future can be better than the past.  Because for them, they don’t have any memory of the good ol’ days.  Just the days of woke losers and political hacks who have ruined the world with bad decisions and tried to sell the mess as redemption.

Why Thomas Hall is so Great: If only everyone was so lucky

Fight, fight, fight was the theme of the evening at the GOP tent at the VOA Country Music Festival, where several officeholders and some running for the first time gathered together ahead of the upcoming elections.  It was an excellent time to catch up with everyone. I could speak to many people in a way that I hadn’t done for a long time, which was good.  But what do we mean by fighting and winning in politics?  When I think of such a thing, I think of the young man Thomas Hall, who is the Ohio Representative in my district and is running to hold the seat he currently has.  But he wasn’t always in my district; he used to have the Middletown area, but now, in District 46, he represents Liberty Township and the surrounding areas, which I’m thrilled with.  I’ve seen Thomas Hall in the pressure cooker for a while now, and I supposed he’s not as much of a young man as when he first started in politics.  But I think a lot of him, and for good reason.  I have been meaning, and we didn’t quite get there during this event, to talk to him about his recent trip to Israel, which I am very interested in.  But behind the politics, Thomas Hall is just a good person, one of those cases where he’s better than the package you see.  He’s just a promising young man who has survived the fires of Hell and come out on top, and he looks poised to stay there.  This is a good thing for anybody he represents in the Ohio Statehouse.  He takes his job very seriously, and it shows.  I’ve seen him in Columbus work a room, and if he didn’t have a great foundation to work with, it would be easy to be swept away by lobbyists and other scandalous characters.  But with Thomas, you get the feeling with him that he’s always savvy and under control.  And that any malicious intent that comes his way can easily be handled. 

I’ve met his parents several times at some of these events, but we had more time to talk in August of 2024 than we have in the past.  In some of those previous times, things looked so dire that nobody was sure what would happen next.  Politics, as I have said, is a blood sport; things can and do get pretty wild.  Many people who came to the Country Music Festival at the VOA needed to talk to each other.  It’s been a tough four years since Trump left office, and people have lost focus in some respects.  It’s tough when you are trying to grow the tent of the party to accommodate more people, but those people don’t have the same foundations and strength; when the pressure of politics emerges and moral necessities come into play, it’s easy to drift into decay.  And as a political party, Southern Ohio Republicans needed to break some bread together.  A lot of people get into politics for different reasons, and it’s up to each person to find some reason to have common ground with others for the sake of party politics.  Authenticity can often get abused in such cases, but that was never the case with Thomas Hall, and in some of those times, I referred to his parents as good people who made a good kid.  Thomas’ dad was a former police officer, now a firefighter chief.  His mom is a wonderful enthusiast of the men in her life, her husband and son, and when I see them all together, it’s usually a big family affair.  Thomas has, of course, a love interest who I see around town a lot, and she is always supportive and doing the extra work it takes to run successful campaigns.  When you speak with them, you can tell that they all have good foundations that give them firm ground to stand on no matter what is happening in the world. 

So Thomas always tells me he’s grateful to me for getting through some of these tough times of turmoil where rough campaigns got very heated.  My help pushed him over the top and put him in office so he could do the excellent work he is doing presently and, I hope, well into the future.  And I tell him that he’s the one who did all the hard work, and indeed, there are very few people who work as hard at politics as Thomas Hall.  He gets out and knocks on doors and is very tenacious.  And I’ve seen him working directly with Governor DeWine on legislation that was difficult to make happen, so the elbow-twisting part of politics takes a hard worker, and he has deserved all the success he has had and more.  He doesn’t have to throw appreciation my way.  What I have done for him, I do for many people. He’s referring to a lot that goes on behind the scenes, but I’m happy to do it because I like seeing good people get a chance to do good things in the world.  Like a gardener who pulls up the weeds of a garden to protect the good plants, you are trying to grow while preventing the parasites from destroying everything.  I do what I do because I like seeing the good stuff grow.  And Thomas Hall has grown into a lot of good things. 

So when his parents thanked me for all I have done for their son, I had to tell them what I thought of them, which shows up in Thomas, and I think about it a lot.  They were good parents to him.  Thomas Hall has a great foundation that other people in the world don’t have because they, as parents, gave him a great place to start.  If things get too hot, at least Thomas has a nice family that cares for him.  And it shows.  So, while they intended to thank me, which they did, I would give the credit to all of them.  Thomas is a sincerely good person who is not wasting his talent.  But to his parents for raising a good kid who has grown into a good man, a lot of people would love to be so lucky.  The sense of service that Thomas has picked up from his dad is being applied to Ohio positively.  I’m happy to defend and support anybody like that, and there are others.  Perhaps not as good as Thomas, but in my experience with these kinds of things, a lot of similar personality traits emerge in these kinds of people who get involved in politics and want to represent people in government.  Not everyone has the advantage of a good family on which they can rely.  But Thomas Hall does, and as I told his parents, if anybody should be thanking anybody, the world should be thanking them for producing such a nice young and honest man in the world.  I am personally very proud of Thomas Hall.  But I’m also very proud of his parents.  I wish there were more people in the world like them.  And maybe in the future, there will be.  There is hope in the world that people will follow their example and do better for themselves and others.  Usually, when you meet people who are as well put together as Thomas Hall, good parents at the foundation make it all possible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kamala Harris and Her Communist Democrats: Trying to escape the burden of what has been

One of the important things that Kamala Harris says repeatably in her public appearances is “what can be, unburdened by what has been.”  It is her most consistent statement and is the essential political platform of “progressives.”  They want change from their present condition, into what “can be.”  Usually, that consists of bad decisions that they have made and allows them to erase the implications of failure and replace it with some form of comfortable group acceptance. What Kamala is talking about is the summary of the Karl Marx book, The Communist Manifesto and has been the mantra of those types of people for well over a century now. Yet, in the most successful country in the world, which has empowered the most people over the longest period, why would we want all this change? Because what she is saying is that she and her kind want to change from the best country to the worst. That is what Barack Obama’s Hope and Change always was essentially, the hope of the communists of the world that America would change its practices and become just as bad as everyone else. When you are a loser, as Kamala Harris clearly has been, and made terrible decisions in life that are embarrassing, of course you would not want to be burdened with that memory for the rest of your life. So, for Democrats, this idea of not being burdened by what has been, is a chance to reinvent themselves away from all their mistakes. And that is what we are up against with the global Marxists, which Kamala Harris is their clear representative. What she is talking about in her radical political platform is an appeal to the losers of the world to hit a great reset and tear away the standards of success, so that she can make way for that unburdened judgment of social norms, such as not having reckless sex, and aborting the child as a result so that they can be unburdened from their mistakes.  Or using drugs to become unburdened by the impact of reality. Or going on welfare to be unburdened by the pressure of a need to produce income to support your family. That is the world of Kamala Harris and her Democrats of Doom in America.

It was not always easy for people to admit that there was a communist party platform in America that was seeking to undo all our lives. We always thought that the threat of invasion would be as it was presented in movies about war, such as The Longest Day with John Wayne. Or Red Dawn. But I have warned for years that much of what the Democrat party does is communist. And there has never been such an overt communist running for office than Kamala Harris and her VP pick the China loving Tim Walz. And yes, he loves China and has quite a long history with the communist country. These are not our friendly neighbors. These are hostile insurgents seeking to undo the American way of life, which is to say, a successful life of liberty and happiness for which we are all entitled to pursue under the freedom of self-assertion. I can say that I have seen a lot of stuff. And recently as part of an experience on a grand jury, I can say that I have seen a grotesque underbelly of what is really going on in society, and I will have a lot to say about it. But my opinions do not come from a vacuum of experiencing the world from the safety of my own peer groups. I have always stepped out of that comfort zone looking for added information and I can say that I have seen the worst of what people can do.

Sadly, I have always loved Middletown, Ohio, where J.D. Vance is from. It is a shame what has happened to it. But it is what happens to cities that end up with leadership like what Kamala Harris proposes, where too much communism is brought in to manage what used to be a thriving community. In the case of Middletown, diversity was brought in where shared values were not normalized. And the well-paying jobs of their economy were shipped away through policy to the needs of globalism. And what’s left is an entire community that cannot go on vacation without the burdens of society wanting to accept people taking over your home. I can say that I have seen a multitude of examples in just Middletown of the worst that people can do to each other where social collapse has happened as a direct result of communist policy hidden behind the political party of Democrats. And there are homes where drug use is as common as eating cereal for breakfast. People come and go from these homes wondering aimlessly through life and they seek drugs to bury their pains of horrendous decisions made through life in great abundance. And the weight of their bad decisions, unpaid for, brings the world around them into a landscape of misery. That is precisely what Kamala Harris, who has been a drug user herself, means when she wants to be unburdened from the past to make way for what can be. Whenever a society is running from their past where they did not achieve success due to bad decisions, you end up with a result of failure compounded because behavior was never inspired to change for the better. They just ran from the results of their failure, which never fixes anything.

What Democrats leave in their wake is the kind of nightmares that you see in high crime areas, what Democrats have essentially done to California, and communities like Middletown, Ohio. The way people who seek to unburden themselves from the mistakes of the past live is incredibly detrimental and the world would be shocked if forced to look at it for too long. It is one thing to hear about sad things going on in the world, its quite another to see and hear the details of a criminal underbelly that is the net result of lives lived under the mantra that Kamala Harris is uttering for the entire country. To be unburdened by the past to make way for what can be. She is not talking about success, because America has been successful with the most opportunities for the most people that there are in the world. Rather, Democrats want people to fail in life, because their entire platform is to replace that failure with the stolen redistribution of value that they use the government to steal from good people, and to give to desperate people who have lived their lives in horrible ways. And they seek to spread their influence on every corner of the globe with communism, because through shared guilt and penalty, the burden of a life lived poorly can be shared, so that those most guilty don’t have to be crushed by the burden of bad decisions for the rest of their lives.  Kamala Harris and her communist Democrats want people to make mistakes because she is offering redemption from those errors which then gives centralized government more power. And a world of individuality is destroyed as a result, which is the change that communists want to evoke in the world, especially in America.

Mind Control Discouraging Voters Away From Trump: Don’t always assume your thoughts are your own

I’ve been doing this stuff for a very long time.  And it has only been in the last several weeks, I have heard some of the very organized talk about not voting in the upcoming election, hoping to discourage people from full engagement in the 2024 election.  It has always been the case that a few people here and there were frustrated with the voting process and didn’t like their options, so they would not be excited to vote and would stay home on election night.  And we all know that Democrats pushing communist causes want every mind-numb derelict to vote and vote often.  Because without election fraud, Democrats can’t win.  So they look to open the door to every disenfranchised person there is out there by extending the days you can vote, and by every means necessary because they want every opportunity to get a vote in their favor no matter where they come from.  So, with all that said, it is interesting that there has been so much talk thrown my way by people claiming that they aren’t going to vote in 2024 because they are just so frustrated with the process that they are giving up.  I don’t think it’s an accident but more of a strategy, and the science of frustrating people into or away from something is more well-known than many think.  And the bad guys out there are certainly willing to utilize such sinister methods for their cause.  And by the way people are talking; I don’t think they are all that aware of it.  Here in 2024, Republicans all up and down the ticket from Trump in the White House are poised to win everywhere.  So if Democrats can’t cheat, or rather more specifically, the Deep State can’t control elections as they have in the past, then what methods would they turn to to preserve their grips on power?  Lower voter engagement. 

Years ago, I wrote a book called The Symposium of Justice that featured a plotline of a massive globalist system of government called “The System” that controlled people through radio signals in water towers, which stimulated the pituitary gland in human beings into impulse decision-making.  It was a science fiction plot that has since been fully explored in various conspiracy theories, such as contrails, fluoride in the water, and even very manipulative subliminal messaging.  Lately the belief that 5G service is doing much of what I talked about from that book I wrote 20 years ago is happening as we speak.  The classic John Carpenter movie They Live comes to mind.  I wrote my book based on my experiences in life, so for me, it wasn’t quite science fiction but a more stated, factual summary of a complex, multi-dimensional problem of life influences that are not always four-dimensional terrestrial.  We have many dimensions of life forms that interact with us all the time, and we may not always understand them based on the reality of our current senses.  I have to remind people that the radio waves you hear in your car radio, or whatever device, have unrivaled messaging in it through your interaction unit.  But we really don’t understand how the human brain picks up signals, or not.  Yet they are passing through us and around us all the time.  Even the wireless internet you use to get this message is passing through the air, going through people without hesitation.  And our world is flooded with signals and messaging that can and does impact our sanity levels.  Some people can filter out all the noise.  Some people have their minds collapse, especially under conditions of intoxication or drug impairment.  What might seem like a utopian hallucination could very well be the same demonic entities that the blood sacrifices from the land of Canaan were killing their firstborn children to in order to appease them and their lunacy. They were brought to us through the corridors of time on the backs of insanity and speculation. 

But more than that, I also know from personal experience that advertising and public relations work is intended to uncover your intellectual resistance to persuasion for the effects of convincing you to do things you otherwise wouldn’t do.  How a font is presented and what color schemes are used for advertising are known sciences that intend to manipulate people into action.  The way something looks, sounds, and behaves can have a dramatic impact on our decision-making.  Even just browsing the internet, those advertisements that appear in your sidebar and email are meant to push you into pursuing something intended just for you.  Not a mass audience.  Now, with Artificial Intelligence, there are massive databases that know everywhere your eyes have been looking on the internet, so they know what you like and dislike for specificity in directing products and services to you as much as possible.  The only time you can escape it is to turn off the computer as much as possible and get away from all the signals carrying messages, whether they are from the internet or radio waves broadcast in the traditional way.  Of course, the CIA understands all this and has for a long time; usually, when we talk about them, it’s the MK-Ultra programs that involve some level of mind control.  But can they get people to do what they want without people realizing that the voices in their heads are coming from some human manipulator or even an A.I. source?  Of course, they can, and they do it often.  Very often. 

So when I see that a lot of people, many more than usual, profess that they are sitting out on this election this time because they are too tired and don’t feel enough passion to cast a vote, I would warn them that their opinion is a strategy, not coming from them, but from the enemy.  I would say that such people are victims of manipulation overdose, and they have lost their defense mechanisms to such intentions.  But you better believe it’s happening, and it’s occurring because the bad guys of the world know that Trump is poised to win this election, and their best hope to cheat in this one is to convince people to have less engagement as voters.  In the last election, Trump had 75 million voters, and that was after a massive effort to destroy votes for him by various means.  The real number is likely much, much, higher.  And to the control freaks of the world, we have seen some of their work recently in Great Britain and the despots in the European Union who are just now learning that the United States has a Constitution that prevents them from tampering with American affairs.  The last thing they want is an even more decentralized government with Trump back in the White House.  So they are hard at work using every means available to them, through international banking and corporate influence, to discourage you from voting in this election.  And yes, it is a massive plot of conspiracy.  And while you come to terms with all that, remember that these are not new tactics.  I wrote my book when I did and about what so that people could start thinking about why they believe what they do.  People assume that their thoughts are their own and are private.  But my experience says otherwise.  And people are more manipulated into foolish behavior than they are willing to admit.  And those manipulating are good at their task because people assume that none of it is possible.  But remember, be careful of your thoughts; they are not always yours.  And when those thoughts tell you not to vote for your own good, you must override those anxieties with logic and make sure to vote anyway because your life depends on it—especially this year.

The Armor of God: Facing danger with coolness and tenacity

In many ways, it was a gift to President Trump to have that assassin attempt to kill him.  Watching him in that rally in Montana, it’s good to see Trump having fun with the issue instead of doing what globalists have been trying to advocate in our culture for a long time now.  This ridiculous Beta male approach to problems, crying about their feelings and destroying the concept of masculinity, to surrender to some child-like dependence on the government to be a perpetual parent has not been good.  As a man, it feels good to face a bullet and an attempt on your life from those who are jealous of you and want to destroy you.  Trump has spent his life building a tough guy image, and he has been challenged in business, of course, and has survived many things that have made him very successful.  But until death has come knocking on your door the way it did in Butler, Pennsylvania, you never really know how you will deal with it.  It’s a similar anxiety that young boys face when they worry about how they will do in their first fight.  And yes, that is a genuine problem for boys.  Girls don’t have those same challenges.  They have other challenges, but winning fights is something that young men worry about a lot.  And men worry even more about facing death with boldness.  And Trump, after a lifetime of building his tough-guy brand, was given the ultimate test with an assassin’s bullet.  And he passed, surviving and throwing his fists in the air triumphantly.  He will go down in history with some of the greatest presidents who have survived such a thing, which positions him well for the kind of leadership most needed now.

One of the things that made General Grant such a great battlefield commander was his coolness under fire.  All through the Civil War, he rode his horse through gunfire with projectiles flashing all around him, cannon fire nearly missing his head by inches, and surviving detriments that would have killed most people.  The Union Army won the Civil War because of General Grant’s tenacity and coolness under fire.  The same could be said of General George Washington, who had displayed similar traits of boldness on the battlefield, especially early in his life during the French and Indian War at Fort Duquesne, also in Pennsylvania.  Then, President Jackson engaged in many duels that could have killed him many times.  He was shot at and hit many times, sometimes to the point of nearly being killed.  And I think of Teddy Roosevelt, who wanted to go to Cuba with the Rough Riders to have an opportunity to shoot another man and to be shot at. It was very important to him to test his valor or to be killed doing it.  Later in life, after his first eight years as president, he was running for president again and was shot by an assassin.  He finished his whole speech before seeking treatment.  This is the kind of behavior that men endeavor to be in.  And I understand it very well.  I have lived my life in such a way. I have had many guns pointed at me and I know what bullets feel like as they pass near you.  And yes, it’s a great feeling to survive those occasions, better than life itself.  It’s even better to know that you can be calm under the pressure of fire and face death boldly.  You don’t feel like you’re living like a man until you do that a few times. 

It is essentially the problem that the Israelites had when God told them to leave the wilderness and attack the Promised Land, the land of Canaan, which is still a point of contention.  At first, the spies seeking a path into battle saw that Canaan was filled with giants, and they refused to attack because they feared what might happen to them against such a superior force.  So they turned away from the task as cowards.  And God punished them with 40 years in exile until a new generation would head into battle with the trust that God had their back.  That is expected in America, with masculinity displayed among the best of our leaders.  They did so when given the opportunity to put on the Armor of God and fight in the face of death boldly.  Washington did, Jackson, Grant, Teddy Roosevelt, Reagan, and now Trump.  By not cowering in fear, which is the point of the exile story in the Bible of the Hebrew people, it points to an alignment toward God’s purposes, and a trust that you are there to do his work.  And you are not afraid for your own preservation.  Because God has your back.  For Trump, surviving that bullet gave him the assurance he needed to know that he was on the right path and that he dared to stand up to it.  And I’m sure he slept very well that night and ever since.  Because those are the fundamental rules of the universe.  Not this woke garbage of manhood that the progressive, communist, left has been trying to sell to the world.  For all the same reasons, Israel turned away from the challenge of attacking the land of Canaan the first time when God told them to. 

Behind a coward is to say that a person, especially a man, did not trust to put on the Armor of God and proceed with destiny boldly and without fear.  We should not be afraid because to fear is to say that you do not trust that God is with you and will let you perish before you accomplish your task of divine intervention.  The gunslingers of history, leaders such as Grant, Washington, and Jackson, threw caution to the wind often and faced down gunfire without blinking an eye for self-preservation.  We love the stories of Wyatt Earp and the OK Corral because he faced gunfire without fear and brought justice to the bad guys.  That’s why we like stories of Wild Bill Hickok, who often was the last to shoot in a gun duel but was the one who hit his target cooly and under tremendous pressure.  We don’t like men who cry like babies when danger is near.  Or who looks at their mother’s skirt for shelter from danger?  Or to a skirt of mother government.  We like bold, unshakable men, who will look down a bullet without fear and know that their destiny is in boldness.  And that they can face down fear without reservation and show great tenacity when challenges come knocking at their door.  They don’t sip on lattes and eat pastries when trouble shows itself.  They meet those challenges with courage and persistence.  The way that Trump did at Butler, Pennsylvania.  And in many ways, he shook off a dark cloud hanging over America for many years.  God’s plan was working; he trusted in it, and many people witnessed it in a way that would bring us all out of exile and meet the danger before us in ways that the world has never seen.  And when it’s over, we’ll all feel better about our place in history.
