The Ohio Jim and Joe Show: For governor, in the May 2022 primary it’s all about Trump

Jim Renacci picks Joe Knopp as a Running Mate in Ohio

I didn’t know much about Joe Knopp when I attended the special press conference of Jim Renacci on Thursday, December 2nd, 2021.  I knew I liked Jim Renacci and supported him emphatically to run for governor of Ohio.  The current governor, Mike DeWine, had not shown that he was a conservative during his first term, and his Covid response was a disaster against the Constitution.  He was the first governor in all of the nation to attempt to alter election laws and shut down our economy, and we have all seen enough.  He had to go, and Jim was the best replacement.  But this particular event was a bit of a surprise.  Jim was going to announce his Lt. Governor.  Naturally, I was thinking of the apparent picks; it would have to be a conservative woman of some kind because that’s what everyone does these days.  But no, instead, Jim was thinking outside the box when he announced that he was putting Joe Knopp on the ticket, another privately successful person.  The more I thought about it and got a chance to meet Joe, the more I liked him.  He was, after all, the producer of the Trump movie, The Trump I Know.    

About halfway through the Joe Knopp introduction, I started putting everything together.  Joe was the guy who produced the movie showing all the great Trump women who came out right before the election in 2020.  It told the story that nobody covered about Trump, all the little things he does behind the scenes that made him such a great president, and how he treated women in his campaign and organizations.  It all came to an excellent little focus during the press conference, especially during the question and answer session where reporters asked what Renacci planned to do about Ohio being the number 1 state in all of America for corruption.  Sometimes we all start accepting dysfunction to such an extent that we think of it as reality.  But the reason the media hated Trump, as the Swamp itself does, was because of these independent business guys, people like Trump, and his friend Jim Renacci.  Joe Knopp wanted to eliminate the dark money cookies that all the Swamp creatures get to eat off of.  Columbus, Ohio was every bit as much of a swamp as Washington D.C., Just on a different scale, and essentially, Governor DeWine is like the Joe Biden in the executive branch.  A deeply compromised person who has become rich off dark money hated people who challenged that structure.  From the media to the politicians, it was all an addiction to dark money that they considered such a threat.  So much so that they would have destroyed President Trump if they could.  But the Trump women that Joe Knopp captured in his film so beautifully told the absolute truth, which is what voters saw.  And in Ohio, we were going to get to make the same kind of decision in favor of the Jim and Joe Show. 

This is a different kind of race for the governor.  As Renacci will say, he’s not running against Mike DeWine; he’s running for Ohio.  But this is a primary race that would generally be protected from challengers because they are typically low turnout elections. The people who show up are usually inspired by dark money. That’s how people like Mike DeWine get power and keep it.  And it’s everything that’s wrong with Ohio.  So to run against Mike DeWine is running for Ohio.  But we’re talking about swamp creatures who are the only benefactors.  We need in Ohio essentially what Trump was able to do at the federal level, and it takes people who are independent of that dark money to make it happen.  Playing a conventional game of politics that sets up a specific media narrative would not make Ohio any less corrupt.  It’s essentially the media that is in on it all, they set the parameters of the dark money game, and they all feed off each other.  No, what we want in Ohio is freedom from those kinds of people.  Jim Renacci is independently successful and is personal friends with President Trump.  And so is Jim’s pick for Lt. Governor. 

Of course, the media narrative of the Joe Knopp announcement was that he was a Christian filmmaker, which is true.  But that doesn’t begin to tell the whole story of who Joe Knopp is.  It’s like saying that Steven Spielberg is a liberal film director.  That may be an aspect of who Steven Spielberg is, but it can’t be argued that Spielberg films generally reach out to all audiences.  And that was certainly the case with Joe’s movie, The Trump I Know.  The media doesn’t like people who make Christian movies that are every bit as good as Academy Award-winning films made in Hollywood.  Joe is very much a product of Hollywood and a realization that the political left has, which makes them very uncomfortable, that they don’t control the entire movie-making industry.  So to emphasize that Joe is a Christian for them is an attempt to limit his reach not only in the primary but also in the general election.  Yet, all this conventional thinking forgets is that for the first time in the history of America, especially under the DeWine administration, churches were closed while abortion clinics were open.  And DeWine put the abortion activist Amy Acton on his staff to essentially run Ohio for an entire year.  Voters have had some cold water thrown in their faces, where the government interrupted their religion and showed the fangs of the state’s power.  Ohio voters are primed to vote for an honest Christian crusader who loves President Trump and pledges to attack corruption without becoming consumed himself.  Yes, picking Joe Knopp was an intelligent move for Jim Renacci.  It’s not business as usual, and that’s the point. 

I left the Renacci event happy.  Finally, we would have a positive choice in Ohio by a few really good people who were independently successful and beyond the corruption of dark money.  And to have a chance to remove DeWine and replace him with Renacci with such staff, people like Joe Knopp start to repair what has been broken in Ohio after the Covid shutdowns by DeWine.  The best justice for all the bad things DeWine did would be to replace his place in the Swamp with the drain of Renacci and Knopp.  These are people that real conservatives in Ohio can truly cheer for and feel good about voting for.  Many of the years in the past when the voter turnout has been low, partly because the candidates are always swamp creatures like DeWine, which nobody gets excited about, options like these didn’t seem possible.  But Renacci and Knopp, well, there’s something that people can get excited about.  It’s great to have a choice finally, and in meeting Knopp, I can only say that he is one of the nicest people I have met this year.  Such a good person, and such a nice family.  To have people like that to vote for in an election is truly a treasure, and I think Ohio will enjoy the option.  True, the dark money monster is out there, but I think these guys have a good chance of getting new voter turnout activated.  And for that to be an option is a huge opportunity that will make 2022 a year of justice to remember.

Dr. Fauci Has the Right to Remain Silent: After reading Kennedy’s book, he should

The Omicron is Here!

Well, the answer to Dr. Fauci’s statement to Ted Cruz about what happened on January 6th, 2021, when the senator advocated for the prosecution of the coronavirus government bureaucrat, is that nothing happened.  On January 6th, people were upset at the election fraud certification by lazy politicians who didn’t want to rattle the cage when the cage certainly needed to be rattled.  And if I were you, Dr. Fauci, I would advise that you have the right to remain silent, and you should do so because everything you say can and will be used against you.  After reading several books about Dr. Fauci’s career, especially this latest book by Robert F Kennedy Jr., I wouldn’t be poking anybody through the fence that he thinks protects him in the swamp.  The election fraud that happened was caused by his work with the Wuhan lab in China which made the virus, and he has a lot of explaining to do.  He probably shouldn’t be talking.  In fact, for lying to Congress, he should be in jail.  Not conducting interviews on progressive television news shows seeking to shield him from justice with new talk about some ridiculous Omicron variant of the Covid-19 virus that has been so damaging to the world. 

The book I’m talking about, The Real Dr. Fauci by Kennedy, is hard to get, it’s selling like hotcakes, and it has the goods.  It talks extensively with significant research into the antics of Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates in creating Covid-19, to begin with, and it is the defining book on the matter.  Fauci shouldn’t even have a taxpayer-funded job after what was revealed in that book.  Was it all on purpose? I don’t think so.  Not at the level of Dr. Fauci.  It looks like China knew what it was doing when it released the virus, likely to knock Trump out of the White House.  They were losing the trade war, and China wanted to strike out at the West and take down the president.  Without question.  Fauci was working with China, but his role was more on the bioweapons side, as usual in his deeply involved pentagon work.  In working on bioweapons, Fauci could command funding wherever he wanted, which was his motivation.  It was a chance for such a little man to be the big man on campus, which is why such an old man is still working in that government job.  He would never get so much respect in the private sector.  It’s not about money for Fauci; it’s all about respect.  He was and is still high on power which his unelected office gives him.  Fauci got caught playing with fire with the Covid virus funding gain of function research, then letting it get out of hand and becoming a bioweapon for his partners, the Chinese.  As bad as all that is, what’s worse is the cover-up.  Fauci sees this Omicron variant the way the rest of the guilty see it as a much-needed cover for their massive crimes now that books are coming out like Kennedy’s.  Public opinion has been turning against all these characters, and they need some way to deflect attention away from what we are all learning. 

What Bill Gates did is actually worse than all that because, without his funding, nobody is listening to anybody on vaccines and pandemics.  Gates created this Covid-19 pandemic, and the world followed his funded plan revealed at Event 201 for how the world should react as they role-played the whole thing out in New York during October of 2019.  Everyone wanted a little of Bill Gates’ money, so they played along doing whatever he wanted to do.  Yet, for Gates, he treated people management worldwide the way he did with Microsoft programs.  Through vaccines, he intended to put everyone on an equal playing field to control mass populations to fulfill his desire for a zero-emission world.  Gates has been behaving as a Bond villain for a long time and was the power player behind Covid’s worldwide domination.  With all the costs of the lockdowns, Gates has responsibility for them all over the world.  He funded it, and he owns it.  Clearly, his goal was to tamper with the entire human race for what he thought was a good cause.  But that was the justification Hitler had when he went to war with the world to advance the cause of Germany.  All this and a lot more are in Kennedy’s book, and the number of references there leaves the guilt of Gates beyond dispute.  Gates is a bad guy who got caught tampering with the world, and you can understand why he is hoping for a sequel in the Omicron variant.  If he could deflect attention away from himself with a new pandemic, nothing could be better for him. 

Then there is the Great Reset by the United Nations.  They wanted to shut down the economies of the world, and how else were they going to get control of all of them?  Well, they were going to use the coronavirus as the excuse, of course.  This was particularly well planned in advance; Bill Gates was on board and funding it.  Amy Acton in Ohio, the abortion supporting health director who worked for Governor Mike DeWine and was quoting Joseph Campbell while she shut down Ohio, then all the other states that followed, indicating it was all for the greater good.  Dr. Fauci loved the attention, and as a lifelong Democrat, big government, centralized planning supporter, he was all on board.  This all gave him a chance to be a hero and to be more powerful than an elected president like Trump was.  That is why we caught him snickering behind Trump’s back on stage a few times.  Because he knew a lot about the big plans that Trump had no clue about, they stuck Trump on stage to be the fall guy for his undoing.  Yes, they all thought it was funny.  But they had to punish Trump for pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord.  They could not allow an America First policy to rule the world.  That was their job, so they were going to do anything to unleash the virus to cause chaos and havoc wherever it could, no matter what it cost. 

There are a lot of bad guys in this story; we could go on for days.  But at the center of it is Dr. Fauci because, without him, there wouldn’t have been a virus that jumped from a bat to humans without his NIH tampering with the process as a developing bioweapon.  We can see all the bad people who then used it for malice now as far as the eye can see deep over the horizon.  But it all started with Fauci.  And now that he’s in trouble and people are calling for his head, he hides behind the Omicron.  He and Bill Gates need a diversion.  Nobody is distracted by the Bill Gates divorce anymore or his connections to Jeffery Epstein even as James Comey’s daughter runs the trial that remains from that scandal, obviously to protect all those criminal scumbags who have always been involved.  They think they know something we don’t, so they commit these mass crimes thinking they are doing it for the greater good.  Yet the truth is that they are feeble people who have abused the resources they have in life, whether its money, political power, or just commercial influence; they all have it wrong in their own little ways, and to hide it from the public, they have given us the Omicron!

Liberals Only Want to Boss People Around: The mental illness of the Democrat Party

People Who are Obsessed with Bossing You Around Tend to be Democrats

Without question, especially after Thanksgiving dinner with family members, some that you may only see a few times a year, politics is always that unsatisfied topic that burns in the back of all our minds.  We have been taught that we shouldn’t talk about politics or religion even though both dominate our lives and thoughts almost exclusively.  And the losers who spread that bad advice to us were liberals who encouraged us to avoid a conflict at the dinner table or living rooms of our homes from people who may be liberal in our lives.  So in the same fashion that we see prosecutorial misconduct among liberal prosecutors or religious ideologies, like “climate change” coming at us with blinding speed, we are not supposed to engage it or talk about it. Instead, we are supposed to talk about Blue Pill stuff like sports or Black Friday sales and hope to avoid talking about supply chain problems caused by an illegal president Biden with a big-government approach that has crippled our economy and put China on a pedestal for world domination.  So in that way, we never talk about the solution to the world’s real problems; we just learn to put up with it, which has empowered them into all sorts of destructive behavior.  Yet, there is a reason we are uncomfortable with these political rules of our day because the rules themselves mask something we all know and feel about the matter, which demands a resolution.  And it all points back to what I always say about liberalism; it’s a mental illness that needs a psychological fix, not an understanding of fairness on the battlefield of ideas.  Liberalism, because of its severe disfunction in nature, shouldn’t even be on the battlefield. 

One thing that all liberals have in common is that they like to boss people around.  We obviously have seen this with Covid and the government’s reaction to it.  Blue state governors have been the worst, and those who want to tell people what to do have heard the dog whistle.  They have acted like that big brother who is babysitting all of us and wants to essentially be the parent out of control with power telling us where to go, when to wash our hands, when to go to bed, when to eat, change clothes, even what to watch on television.  They are obsessed with telling us what to do about everything.  And now that they have captured through all types of political theater, they have the congress, the senate, and the White House at the federal level; they are out of control.  It’s not that the power went to their heads; it’s that they needed power so much that they were willing to do anything to get it.

Another thing I say all the time is that the number one thing that people are most concerned with in life is their status on the pecking order with their peers.  Adults, more than anything, want to climb the social ladder of power and prestige among their peers more to satisfy their insecurities about their meaning of life-based on how it was taught to them as children. You’re born, you do what your parents tell you, what society tells you, and you gain power so that you can acquire the ability to do that eventually to other members of society.  If you work hard, you might become a powerful politician or CEO of some company, and people will respect you and do what you tell them.  Really, when it comes down to it, liberalism, in varying degrees, is one of the most destructive elements of any society, and it can be measured based on how much people want to boss you around.  The more conservative a person truly is, the less they like to tell other people what to do.  The more liberal, the more they want to boss people around. 

But it doesn’t stop in politics such as “elected office.” Still, it extends into every aspect of our lives, such as the nosy neighbor who is always calling the neighborhood association about some flag you might be flying that might bring down property values.  Or the slow person in the fast lane on the highway who travels under the speed limit because they intend to slow you down for what they perceive as safe conduct.  We see it with the mask police now in stores.  We see it in the places we work where some ladder climber boss is always there to tell us when to use the restroom or take a break.   It’s not enough to call someone who thinks they are conservative a RINO if they claim to be Republicans but have the psychological problem of always wanting to tell people what to do all the time.  We have to identify the mental illness for what it is, some form of liberalism that has migrated in name to the current state of severe mental dysfunction. 

The real quandary for many of these people and why their psychological disorder is so destructive to the world around them is that the essence of their behavior is that they must live off the efforts of others.  That is why they want to boss people around because they actually need the efforts of others to survive. After all, deep inside, they lack the courage to do things on their own.  So they make themselves part of the world around them as a figure of authority to mask their own timidity.  And if they appear to be in charge of the pecking orders of our existence, they can hide their most profound insecurities.  So when we find ourselves at some social gathering and there are always these micromanagement types who start telling us we have to take our shoes off to enter a room, or to tell us where to sit, what to eat, how to dress, and so on, avoiding talking about politics only makes the problem worse.  It allows these loser people to live free of judgment while abusing the world with their psychological disorders.  By avoiding discussion about their ailment, it never gets fixed, which isn’t good for anybody.  One of the reasons I wrote The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business was to help people deal with the tyrants in their lives.  It may not be Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi who are the worst; it might be some nosy aunt or peeping neighbor going through your trash.  It might be a boss who goes out of their way to harass you so they can remind you that they are your means to a living, and you have to do what they say.  It might be the little Cartman mall cop or the latest local health department newly empowered by the CDC to ruin our lives in their effort to tell more people what to do.  But what it all amounts to is that the desire to boss people around is an illness of the mind, not something that should be respected or even dealt with as a legitimate manner of public conduct.  We don’t need to treat liberals with equality and understanding.  We need to get them help in insane asylums because that’s where they belong.  Not believing they are equal or above us on some invisible pecking order.  They are not our “betters.” They are malcontents and damaged people who need treatment, not a pass of the gravy and a tight lip uttered under sports scores.

Decertify Biden: There is a way out of this mess

Decertify Joe Biden and Fix America

I’m quite aware that I am inviting massive shadow banning by mentioning anything about election fraud in this article’s title.  But considering how much I write and broadcast, as a totality, I am one of the most shadow-banned people in the world, and I consider it an honor.  Even though the laws are murky about it right now, the Internet is essentially a public utility created by taxpayers for our society’s use.  All those who are manipulating access and use of it are breaking the law.  It’s no different than some pirate confiscating water in a public water line to your house or poisoning that water at the treatment plant.  Google, Twitter, Facebook, and many others do not own the Internet.  They have just used it to make their money, which our government created for our use.  They are lawbreakers just like any other thief, and knowing all that if they want to shadow ban something I do, I enjoy knowing that.  I write as much as I do over the years because, by nature, it gets out anyway, no matter what restrictions they put on my site.  It happens by sheer mass.  But it doesn’t change the circumstances of this article that is pointing out the obvious and inevitable.  That the solution to many of our problems in our country right now is to decertify Joe Biden and to remove him from The White House and thus, to destroy all the plans that the political left has planned with this global insurrection once and for all, and to let history measure the embers of the aftermath. 

I am proud to be affiliated with the America First Policy Institute, which is the group behind the Trump lawsuit against Big Tech. It’s a good move, but by the time it’s all resolved, the Internet will be viewed as a public utility, much the way water, roads, or electricity is used, and those doing the kind of censorship that Big Tech is guilty of will be known as criminals.  But for now, we will all just have to fight it out.   The truth is the truth, and the bad guys can’t make the truth what they want it to be.  Joe Biden did not win the election of 2020, which is why all these criminal conspirators feel they must shadow ban information and censor reality because they hope that the truth doesn’t get out.  Joe Biden likely didn’t get much more than 60 million votes.  Trump broke 75 million, and he’ll do it again.  Can you imagine if the next election is watched and the Post Office is prevented from destroying hundreds of thousands of votes by dumping them on the side of the road?  Trump may very well break 80 million votes by the end of the vote count, well beyond the Democrat’s ability to cheat in the election.  They only got away with it in 2020 because of all the goofy Covid rules.  They can’t cover the margin without that, and Trump will be back in the White House.  Nobody on the political left is ready for that; there is no plan in the liberal playbook to deal with that reality.  They are hiding from it now, hoping to run out the clock somehow, but the clock is not their friend.  Reality is knocking on the door, and they think that by not opening the door, they can avoid paying for what they’ve done. 

Yet, as we look around at the mess that Joe Biden’s illegal administration has created, we should not be surprised.  Afghanistan was just the start, of course.  When you cheat an election and put in place someone the people didn’t vote for, what did they expect would happen?  We don’t want this socialist infrastructure bill.  We don’t want social spending bills in the trillions.  We don’t want to be losers on the world stage.  We don’t want the fake science of climate change.  We don’t want the United Nations.  We don’t wish to have high gas prices.  We want our shelves stocked.  We want employees in our drive-thrus saying “yes sir, have a good day,” as they give us our fast food.  We want our stuff in 20 different colors in a few days, not weeks.  We want competency.  We want a secure border.  We want schools that honor the parent/child relationship.  We don’t want to bend the knee to China in any way.  We don’t want a liberalized Hollywood.  We don’t want a radical FBI who does political hits for the Democrat party.  We love our history, we want to teach it to our children, and we want an America First policy that the world can follow if they want to.  We don’t want Agenda 21 or Agenda 2030.  We don’t want to run and hide from viral outbreaks like the manufactured in a Wuhan lab coronavirus that Dr. Fauci was involved in creating.

We want to erase all these problems, and we can do it very simply by just following the law and decertifying the 2020 election results in Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.  And for good measure, Michigan.  We also need to perform audits in all the states to put to bed the actual numbers, which will show that Democrats are not competitive.  The country is not so evenly split down the middle.  That has been a lie, too, meant to make the horse race look closer than it really is for those who like to bet on horse races.  Just decertify the election and make all these problems go away by removing Biden from The White House.  They need to be taught a lesson, they need to be embarrassed, and they should have thought about the consequences before they pulled what they did against our Constitution and all of us who need to believe in the voting process.

Just think of how it will be when Trump runs again.  How will Fox News cover the Republican nominee when Trump talks about the election fraud of 2020 over and over again.  What will Facebook do and Twitter when they censor everything Trump says.  Before, in 2020 they thought Trump was done for and would never return because that’s how the Swamp works.  They never had a plan for Jonah to return from the belly of the whale.  History tells this story well; a leader in exile usually comes back to a triumphant return.  When Trump is back in the news every day, how are the censors who have broken the law through mass censorship through a public utility going to deal with it?  It will be a bloody mess, especially after the 2022 elections pretty much destroy the Democrat Party.  The Democrats took their shit shot and tried to destroy America before we caught on to what they were doing, and now they’ve been caught.  So we either deal with it directly on our terms, using the legal system to correct things, or the Democrat Party gets destroyed along with all their corporate conspirators.  What choice is there?  Either way, Joe Biden will be removed from office, and those who artificially propped him up will be exposed.  There are no assassinations or personal censorship that will stop that process by force and intimidation. Instead, the more that the Swamp lashes out at us for asking and stating the obvious questions, the madder we are getting.  And that is not a place that anybody on the political left really wants because they are not the majority.  They are the minority by a lot, and they damn well know it.

Everyone Understands Supply Chains Better than Joe Biden: When the government makes itself the problem, what we have is the result

Yes, Joe, We Understand Supply Chains, its You Who are Stupid to Them

If Joe Biden doesn’t understand supply chains, I’ll be happy to send the White House stacks of copies of my new book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, so he can learn how they work, as I said in the video above. I’ve wanted to cover this topic for over a week since Joe Biden stated that if you went to dinner and talked to someone at the next table over, that nobody understands supply chains.  That is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard a president say or anybody in high office.  If you don’t understand supply chains, you have no business being an adult.  Specifically, in my book, I deal with supply chain problems quite specifically.  Everyone knows what the problem is with the Biden people, and playing dumb won’t help.  Essentially, this is a topic we’ll talk about a lot in the months to come, but all progressives are broken on a failed concept that was first really expressed in the Edward Bellamy book Looking Backward, which came out in 1888.  That was one of the first times a creative author tried to put Karl Marks communism into the context of a socialist utopia by justifying the government takeover of all industry and labor.  It is the fantasy of most big-government types who fantasize that they can better manage businesses than at the local level.  When the government gets involved in supply chains, they find that they become the constraint, which is why we have problems now, because through policy, they have tampered with the free market, and now the blame is on their shoulders. 

I wrote The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business to take readers back to Edward Bellamy’s time and defend capitalism in one of its rawest forms.  The Bellemy types were in love with Karl Marx.  I think there will always be those types of people, and as I say in my book, they have a useful purpose.  But you cannot give control of anything in your life to them because they are what I call “Below-the-line thinkers.” Actually, that term comes from a book I like called The Oz Principle, a popular book on business.  But I feel that not enough people understand how business books can help their lives, so my Gunfighter’s Guide is intended for a broader audience curious how we arrived where we are in history and what they can do to fix it.  I propose that we have to go back to the ideas that worked before all these below-the-line types sought to use Karl Marx to cover their timidity in life and shape politics toward centralized authority to mask their weaknesses about everything.  After all, that is at the heart of all communism, socialism, and Marxism in general.  The Bellemy types never figured out what was wrong with their way of thinking; they made assumptions in Looking Backward about the government taking control of all production and assumed that corruption and human frailties would be removed from the supply chain process and everyone would live happily ever after.  I don’t think people understand how destructive this way of thinking has been and how much it has shaped the minds of the modern progressive. 

When Bellemy wrote his book, to be fair, nobody knew what would happen.  It was an ideological concept by Marx created by people who were naturally lazy and timid types.  So, of course, the dog-eat-dog world of capitalism seemed cruel to them.  The titans of industry were “evil.” That is their perspective, but it doesn’t mean it’s the correct perspective.  History has shown the value of capitalism over the many attempts since to utilize Marxism in any way. My Gunfighter’s Guide gives a perspective history of how we arrived where we are today and why America produced the most outstanding economy in the history of the world.  We have so many options in America with a relatively small workforce instead of China because of capitalism.  We can get anything in just about any color at any time of day, and that is a culture worth talking about.  But what the Biden people are talking about, and the global greenie weenies want, is a government take over of all means of production and to force the world to live under their constraints, their limited government hours at the office, their bureaucratic cubical culture of lazy, below the line thinkers, their discontent minds who want to make a lot of money, but not wanting to work for it.  Essentially, the government workers of today like school teachers, IRS workers, and even the FBI, people who want to get paid, but they don’t want to work for the value of the job.  The government can hide those values if they are the only employer. Biden’s administration follows the Bellamy concepts to the letter with vaccine mandates, government shutdowns of industry, and setting rules that essentially annex human resource departments into becoming state agents through enforcement and penalties.  Then they dare to declare that they don’t understand supply chains. 

Supply chains work because they are created creatively by people who want to make a little money in the process.  They aren’t going to go out and risk themselves creating a new company if there isn’t a little “something something” in it for them.  And the government isn’t going to figure out what they need to fill a supply chain under a government takeover of the industry because they don’t have it in them.   The progressives and Marxists who loved Bellamy’s book never figured out why; they just insisted that the world would be a better place if they did.  So many of the same stupid things the world governments have done over the years have not changed since Karl Marx wrote his books in the mid-1850s, which provoked the labor strikes that Bellamy writes about in Looking Backward.  They created the labor problems with Marxism then proposed to correct them with a government takeover of the means of production.  They made their own mess, and history has shown the guilt.  I propose in my book to go back to before Bellamy, to attack Karl Marx, and to unleash capitalism with boldness.  Not the other way around. 

If Biden doesn’t understand supply chains, I would be happy to give him a class on the subject; I could speak infinitely.  I understand supply chains, and I know literally hundreds of people, many very smart people who also understand supply chains.  They are not a mystery to anybody who works and understands the wonderful concept of capitalism.  But for those who are into Marxism, below-the-line thinking, government socialism, well, that’s where they are trying to force a square peg into an undersized circle.  It’s never going to work, even if you try to hammer the thing into place with force.  Marxism was broken as Marx wrote it, and for all those big-government types who want to be important in the world without the risk associated with effort, it was always just a fantasy.  It was never going to be a thing, yet the world, what we call “elites,” is still in love with the ideas set up by Edward Bellamy in 1888.  The answers I will always say lay before that ridiculous book.  Once you understand that, supply chains are not a mystery.  But the real problem shows itself, which Joe Biden and his United Nations friends never figured out and are in complete denial.

How the Vaccine Mandate Falls Apart in Court: The Government is guilty of what happens by their decisions

The Holes in the Government Vaccine Mandate Case

So, these two lawyers have been disturbed about my position on the vaccine mandates for employers, and to settle some of our ongoing disputes, we met for lunch.  I essentially left that meeting and filmed the above video, so it was fresh on my mind how ridiculous they were in their assumptions that the same government that made and spread Covid-19 is the same government that is deciding what’s safe and not safe and that they can suspend constitutional rights, rights we have that protect us from government, based on their advice alone.  For me, this is one of the most obvious legal cases in the history of the world, and it’s quite clear, without a pause of contemplation.  There is no scientific evidence that the vaccines work; it’s all a Dumbo’s feather sentiment, not based on any actual science.  Yet, we have allowed our government to believe that it can enforce or even enact a mass vaccine policy that decides whether or not people can work or not work or whether businesses close or stay open based on government tampering.  They considered all those arguments conspiracy theory until we talked for a half-hour over a few hamburgers.  I can say that they did change their mind by the end of our talk, at least until they went back to their offices and mingled with people of their own kind, members of the BAR Association who have injected themselves into our fights of the day with sissy slapping and wordplay instead of the gun duels we used to rely on to settle disputes.  More and more these days, I’d rather just dual it out with adversaries.  There is something much more honest about the exchange that seems much more appropriate for these kinds of times.  But that’s beside the point. 

At the heart of the argument, which I guess they had to meet with me in public to gather the gravity of it, was that the biggest problem with the vaccine mandates that set up the government with serious litigious anxiety for years to come, is that they know the vaccine is dangerous to some people. Yet, they forced that danger on people by calling it safety which is not the case.  We all know people by now who have gotten the shot.  When you get it, they tell you to sit somewhere they can observe you for 10 minutes. I’ve been present when many people have obtained the shot, and before they get it, they are fine.  After they get it, they get sick because their bodies recognize the hostile agent that has been introduced into their bodies to attack it, so the immune system goes to work. It’s a strain on a body under any condition, but some people get very sick for a few days after and have to miss work anyway.  Some people are wiped out entirely for a few days because of the violent reaction to the vaccine.  It’s kind of the problem with the wordplay in a document that says you “will” do something as opposed to “shall.” When the government commands you “will” or “must” get the vaccine, they put themselves on the hook for the results.  They are responsible for what happens next.  If a person gets sick and loses time, they are responsible for the cost of that lost time because they caused the occurrence.  And that is certainly the case when someone who might be bordering on a heart attack anyway gets this vaccine and finds themselves violently sick, and the heart attack goes off.  The government just killed someone.  It doesn’t matter if the intentions were good or bad; it was the government’s decision that caused the death.  They interrupted the health of the person who had a heart attack by introducing a hostile element to their lives. That decision caused death if the heart attack victim dies, which reports indicate is often happening, not in every circumstance, but more cases than in “some” circumstances.  When the government makes itself the responsible party, it is then their responsibility to deal with whatever happens. 

What is astonishing in this whole vaccine mandate case, which has not been adequately challenged by any court yet because lawyers like these guys who went to lunch with me haven’t had a chance to wrap their minds around it yet, is how the government doesn’t want guilt for actions it committed.  That certainly has been on purpose by the government to take advantage of a shock and awe campaign to keep the legal system on its heels.  They use social status within the BAR Association to keep everyone in line and keep them from asking the proper questions.  Ultimately, that’s why these guys wanted to win me over to their version of reality was because they were more concerned about their peer review, which wants to punt their opinions to the conspiracy theory side of things rather than consider the culpability of the government in responsibility for knowingly making people sick with the vaccine mandate.  They might have a case if we knew that Covid was dangerous right out of the gate, and they were trying to save people, as they say, they are.  But we’ve been dealing with Covid for a few years now, and we know a lot about it.  Not many people are dying from it, and those who get sick get over it within a few days.  As it stands now, the way lawyers should look at this case, or prosecutors, at all the work the CDC did to create new quarantine laws for Covid, all the new things that were done that have made all our lives so miserable in the process, and that those actions were to cover up what the government knew about the virus, what role they had in making it, and what role they had in releasing it to the public.  I would refer to the Peter Navarro book In Trump Time, where the Dr. Fauci case showed that the NIH was funding and tampering with coronavirus, which led to the creation of Covid-19.  That is the answer we all need to understand before we do anything on a mass scale, especially knowingly putting people in harm by the aftereffects of getting the vaccine.

My lunch guests could see the point, but as they said, “who is going to take this to court?” I, of course, told them that they should be doing it.  I reminded them that this is the same government that is sending the FBI to raid the home of James O’Keefe from Project Veritas over information directly related to President Biden.  The Department of Justice is holding Steve Bannon in contempt of court for inciting a riot on January 6th, 2020, after George Soros spent millions of dollars paying rioters to burn down American cities trying to start a race war in America entirely politically motivated.  And that same government has their hands all over this; we know what Dr. Fauci knew and when he knew it.  He personally approved gain of function research behind President Trump’s back in 2017. He knew that is where Covid came from as he lied on television for many months after bringing our entire global economy to a crippling stop.  This government is conducting terrorism, and if the BAR Association and its lawyers won’t fight the court battle that must be fought, who will?  The government is counting on those guys to attack me as the path to what they think is the least resistance.  I might have changed their minds for that day, and they know the case’s merits fall as a burden on the government.  This government is not too big to prosecute, and eventually, it will be.  They have to be. Otherwise, there is no law and order in our society.  Anybody who knowingly causes harm to someone else is guilty of the result. The government, through these mandates, is guilty of what happens to those who have adverse reactions to the vaccination process.  It is irrelevant as to whether or not the government had good intentions in doing so. I’d argue they are doing it to cover up their much worse crime of making the virus and spreading it for political reasons.  But ultimately, the smoking gun, in this case, is the burden of responsibility.  It falls on the government what happens as a result of things they mandate.  And when those things cause death, that is squarely on them, and how they need to be attacked in legal cases from now on.

Republicans Can Always Win: It’s all about turnout, not issues–people don’t vote issues, they vote for a winner

Republicans Can ALways Win

Maybe a year ago, I would have been quiet about this little secret, but now I think it’s safe to let it out of the bag.  When Steve Bannon on the popular podcast War Room says that “we” are two-thirds of the country, he is right. I’ve been out in the world and verified it for myself.  Democrats can try to play games with election fraud, and illegal immigration voting is a form of election fraud to skew the popular vote, but the truth is, there are a lot more red areas in America than blue.  Democrats have only survived with a bit of trickery in high population areas. Keeping voter suppression down to something that lets them win and every community has a magic number.  But if they can keep voters home on election night while activating their radicals with early voting, and keep the overall participation rate down to around 20%, then they can have a chance.  Much as I knew it would happen in a local election in my area with a school board race, and several trustee races, I knew that the limit for the liberals was under 18%.  If Republicans showed up and voted with more than 18% or higher, all conservative candidates would win, just by simple math.  There are more conservatives in most areas than liberals, and if voter participation rates are higher than average, conservatives could theoretically always win.  So one of the tactics Democrats use to keep Republicans home on election night is to make the whole thing seem pointless, which works with a certain percentage of the population.  But when you get a Trump in a race, or a Glenn Younkin who can make voters want to get up and out on election night, then there is always a chance to win.  It’s not some magic trick. It’s just simple math. 

As bad as it is now under the Biden administration, I hate to say it, but it’s a positive thing for people to see.  People like me have been warning about the cost of progressivism for a long time, and always progressives loomed with their socialist agenda in the background of “what ifs,” daring Americans to give them a try.  They were like the seductress tempting greener grass if only you might give them a try, only to find out how toxic they are once you are deep in the arms of a homewrecker.  Sometimes if you don’t find out for yourself, you will spend your life wondering about it, making it all that much more appealing.  Now, with people stuck with Joe Biden and his Democrats of global conquest and communism for all, people are finding out for themselves what we were always warning about.  Every day that Democrats have power, the worse their brand for the future is.  By the time a few more months go by, people likely will hate them so much that they may never vote for one again.  And I see a tremendous opportunity for the political scale in America to be reset to something more appropriate, an America where Trump is a Democrat, and someone more conservative would represent the Republican Party.  Years ago, I said on a radio show that I saw an end to the Democrat Party around 2021.  I think Trump accelerated those plans in many ways, and here we are with Democrats showing all their ugly cards.  And people who thought they were getting a moderate in Biden have had to learn a hard lesson.  To me, it’s good for people to see just how bad Democrats are, especially when the contrast to the Trump administration was so good just a few months prior. It’s not like Biden inherited a bunch of problems.  It was all set up for him to do great things off the coattails of the Trump administration, and they blew it fast. 

So I wasn’t at all surprised that Glenn Younkin won in Virginia to be the next governor. I’ve been to Virginia a lot, and it’s not a purple state.  It takes on a blue hue when you get near Washington D.C., which certainly isn’t fair to the rest of the state, which is a hard red.  But really, it’s a numbers game, and Glenn Younkin was a nice enough candidate that he was able to get people out to vote on election night and show just how many conservatives there indeed were.  The education scandal certainly was an issue that provoked voters in an off-year to get off the couch and vote when they might have otherwise stayed home.  But what was bizarre was the Democrats kept using President Trump’s name in their campaign as if hate for him would give them the win.  News flash, President Trump was very popular, especially outside of cities, all over America.  County by county all across North America Trump is a name that activates voters to action.  It showed in the last election, voter fraud aside.  Trump managed over 75 million votes, actual votes.  Reminding people about Trump is not a good way to keep voters on their couches on election night.  By reminding voters of the progressive education problems and that Trump was still out there, Democrats never had a chance. 

And that is the little trick that could be used anywhere, even in California.  It’s all a numbers game.  Republicans lose because they typically play by invisible rules of engagement that Democrats have set up, like woke issues that voters glaze over when they hear them.  When voters hear Republicans, we call RINOs talking about the issues Democrats establish as important; all they do is keep their voters from getting excited and going out to vote for them. In the local race I mentioned, many brilliant political people were worried about the labor union influencing the voters toward the incumbents with the school board.  But I knew there were only so many voters out there of the 100,000 or so that were available that would vote for the liberals.  In a race under 18% voter participation, the liberals win.  If the vote count is over 18%, the Republicans will always win because statistically, there are many more Republicans in my county than Democrats.  And that is generally the case everywhere.  If you can get candidates who can activate a more significant percentage of the voting population, you will always have a chance for Republicans to win.  Democrats have to keep Republicans home and stretch out their window to get the small percentage who support them.  They make it always look close, but that’s not the actual condition of the country.  It’s a reflection of the actual voter turnout.  Because of all the nonsense, too many Republicans throw up their hands and order a pizza on election night.  They don’t participate.  Glenn Younkin was a good candidate, so people voted.

In my local case, there were good candidates, and people could feel good about them, so they went out and voted.  Trump will run again and win again because he can activate the vote.  He can get people off the couch, out from in front of the TV, and out into the night air to vote. That’s why he is still around.  It’s not about mean Tweets.  It’s not about policy.  It’s not about playing nice.  It’s about, and it’s always about, winning and convincing voters that you’re worth getting up and supporting because nobody wants to do any work for a loser.

It’s Time to Punish Governor Mike DeWine: Renacci for Ohio and a better tomorrow

Getting Rid of Governor Mike DeWine

It’s been nothing but good news since the election of 2021.  All the good guys are happy, and the bad guys are crying; that’s when you know the world is doing great things.  That has left many asking me what’s next?  They feel good about the success of the local elections around Cincinnati’s north suburbs and Ohio in general, and they want more of it.  Many thought they’d have to wait until 2022’s fall to have more good feelings, but I reminded them that was a bit too far out to look.  That is one of the best elections for Governor DeWine and his direct challenger, Jim Renacci.  I haven’t said much about this race because I wanted to stay focused on all the other races that were much more locally important for the election of 2021.  But now that those successes are done, it’s time to go for one I’ve been looking forward to for a long time.  For me, it’s personal.  Dummy DeWine’s wrong and deliberate decisions during the Covid year of 2020 cost me personally a lot of money and hard, hard work.  Life was pretty good before Dummy Mike DeWine came along and screwed everything up in Ohio, but we always knew that was a risk by him.  So early in 2022, May, to be specific, there will be a primary election to knock him out of his re-election bid for Governor and to replace him with a guy I know a bit, Jim Renacci, and I’m excited about it. 

I will forever call Mike DeWine “Dummy DeWine” because of the way he essentially destroyed Ohio during his term in office.  Many Tea Party types, myself included, held our nose and voted for him in the last governor election.  He won the primary and beat out several good candidates.  After the Kasich administration, Ohio looked for a purple governor because Kasich himself was very purple, essentially a Democrat with an “R” next to his name.  Mary Tayler would have been my pick, but her association with Kasich knocked her out of consideration, so it was establishment placeholder Mike DeWine who won the primary and then went on to win the state.  We all regretted it after his first year, primarily how foolishly he acted after a radical leftwing extremist shot up a nightspot in Dayton, and he partnered with the Democrat mayor there to embrace gun control legislation.  We eventually did get Stand Your Ground laws passed by DeWine, but only because he screwed up so badly during his next year in office, 2020, when he turned into King Tyrant over Covid-19.  What he did during that year will forever be unforgivable. 

Now Dummy DeWine is “dumb” because he genuinely thought it was his right and obligation to decide what was safe for all kinds of people, many of who are not afraid of risk the way he is.  He thought he had a right to interpret what was good for Ohio based on his own risk aversion like it was his right as some kind of king or emperor.  Once the ten days to slow the spread initiative came out as a response to Covid-19 from Dr. Fauci’s advice to the White House, DeWine went several steps further in Ohio by cuddling up with radical abortion activist and climate change lunatic in Amy Acton. The latter was close to the Fauci group. Together they destroyed businesses, altered elections, and made life in Ohio miserable for the next year until the state legislature finally ripped away his powers in June of 2021.  Finally, ding, dong, the Wicked Witch was dead, but not before billions and billions of dollars were destroyed in Ohio, and politics in the state would become the most corrupt in the nation.  DeWine set the pace for what many blue-state governors across America would eventually do, beating New York to the radicalism none of them dared attempt on the public before DeWine started the process.   He illegally stopped the primary election of 2020 in March that certainly impacted many races when he stopped in-person voting just hours before the election was to occur. 

Because Mike DeWine showed other governors how they could essentially become kings, they went overboard violating constitutional laws without concern for the implications. All the cases that challenged DeWine in court he ended up losing. Eventually, like a screaming child, his power was ripped away from him by the Ohio senate. After many months of radical power grabs finally forced Ohioans to say enough was enough.  DeWine doesn’t know it by I was on conference calls with him several times during all this, and I heard how we spoke to people.  He was trying to intimidate people into not going against him on his power grabs, and many people in very high positions were terrified of him.  It was an abuse of authority in every way you can measure it.  The Mike DeWine I heard on these phone calls was not the guy we heard at 2 PM every day with his girlfriend Amy Acton giving us the latest Covid updates telling us all in the name of safety what rights we were losing that day.  This went on for months, by the way.  The Mike DeWine on those calls was not the guy we heard on WLW with Bill Cunningham, DeWine’s long-time friend.  Well, one time, we did hear the real DeWine on Willie’s program, and that was when it was getting out that Amy Acton had DeWine wrapped around her finger.  He showed he wasn’t such an anti-abortion activist when it came to the flowing hair of the radical Democrat and national celebrity Amy Acton.  He, by all accounts, seemed to have a childish crush on the liberal lunatic, and it was destroying Ohio.

Dummy DeWine often showed bad judgment during his first term, and many said when we voted for him that if he didn’t work out, we’d then primary him. We’d give him a chance, and what we learned was that he didn’t deserve the opportunity.  We would have had minor damage to Ohio if we had elected the Democrat.  What made it worse was that we might expect the behavior we saw out of a Democrat. Still, because DeWine was a Republican, by title, then we were caught off guard by the massive display of his hunger for all-out tyranny, blaming it on safety to mask his true intentions.  DeWine was a disaster in every way a person can be one.  Based on his bad character and terrible record, there isn’t one good reason to support him that I can think of.  He was a disaster.

I had a chance to sit down with Jim Renacci at a nice restaurant a few months ago and talk about his strategy to win the seat.  We were talking like a couple of guys about some upcoming sports matchup; only we knew it was a lot more severe than that.  But Renacci has a good plan. He’s the right guy to beat a long, deep-rooted RINO like DeWine, but it won’t be easy.  I first met Renacci when he was with President Trump and Melania at an event.  I got to know his private pilot a bit there, so that relationship carried over into our talk, which allowed us to talk openly.  For Republicans to knock DeWine out of that governor seat, the GOP will need to focus and rally behind Renacci.  Renacci will have to hit DeWine harder than the GOP typically likes to play.  And there will likely be a need for Trump to get involved, which Renacci can do.  He has the President on a speed dial on his phone if needed.  So there you have it, that is the next big thing, and all the big reasons to make it an essential next step.  I would vote for Renacci for just about anything; he’s a great guy.  But this is about getting rid of DeWine for all that he has done.  He needs to be punished and made an example of for all future tyrants in our political system.  And we can’t show him any mercy in the process.

Do Not Fear the ‘Metaverse’: Remember Facebook cheated in the 2020 election the old fashioned way, they aren’t that powerful

Do Not Fear Meta, They are More Bark than Bite

I’m not going to say that we shouldn’t worry about this new “Metaverse” concept that Facebook has changed its name to.  But I will say that it’s not going to work out the way they have planned.  Of course, this is referencing the rebranding of Facebook after they have been caught in election fraud, as outlined in the Molly Hemmingway book Rigged, and have undergone a significant name change that they say will incorporate virtual reality.  There has been a lot of talk about this move and fear about it because the tech companies, in general, have acquired entirely too much power in our lives, which we’ve given to them willingly.  They have made communication with other people over vast distances possible.  I remember not that long ago where long-distance phone calls were a very real thing, so to go to what we have now, where you can speak to anybody anywhere in the world free of charge over the internet, it’s quite astonishing.  Then to have what we can see coming on the horizon, to engage other people in virtual environments all hours of the day, anywhere in the world is attractive.  But we all knew that the villains of the world would attack us from that front at some point.  The definitions are still dripping wet, so much of what we have seen over this last decade caught many by surprise.  Tyranny was always going to attempt to attack from that sector of the economy through all this new technology, and to date, many think it has won. 

Yet, I have different thoughts about the nature of technology and the technocrats who have looked to use it to become the new masters of the universe.  Mark Zuckerberg and his Facebook company were always about information collection, and that is undoubtedly what they are hoping to do with this new move toward a “Metaverse.” They want you in it because they want to control as much of your life as possible, as any company would who want to make the consumer relationship easier on themselves.  I noticed the start of this concept of being everywhere anytime actually, the last time I was at Disney World a few years ago, and used their bracelet system to get into all the parks and take care of purchases along the way.  Obviously, this concept was sold to us out of convenience. Still, the companies using the technology wanted out of it to be the biggest brother in our lives they could get away with so they could control the customer experience well outside the jurisdiction of the amusement parks themselves. Facebook’s Metaverse looks to take their wall platform where you can talk to all the people in your life that you’ve ever known and carry it over to an all-encompassing virtual environment that will embody artificial intelligence and the future of bioengineering.  It sounds big and scary at first, but there are significant limits associated with technology that many aren’t considering, even if it did get away from us the way many fear and become the plot of some Terminator movie.  The problem with technology is that it’s soulless and will continue to be.  And to fulfill that gap, companies like Facebook and Disney expect to trade-off convenience for the lack of customer experience that ultimately will follow. 

The great fear is that we are moving behind the human experience of existence. Soon, computers and programs, in general, will be so advanced that they will exceed human intellect and rule us all without our control.  Many within Facebook’s Metaverse and Google’s many data collection platforms believe they have successfully mapped out the behavior of human beings to the point where artificial intelligence will take over the world.  But let me remind everyone that they, even with all their ability to map out the human experience with “like” buttons and comments on their homepages, have been analyzed to scrutiny beyond reason, were not able to stop people from voting for Donald Trump for president.  Or to stop the MAGA movement and populism in general around the world with all their technology.  Facebook, in fact, out of a promise to its employees, ensured the 2020 election would be taken from President Trump and that the tech companies themselves held all the power now over elections.  Of course, the young millennials lacking experience in the world believed Zuckerberg and the climate freaks at Google.  It still took half a billion Zuckerbucks to buy off voters on the ground one carload at a time to stuff ballots and tamper with paper votes.  Facebook didn’t have near the influence over the population they had been selling to the public, and much of what they were doing for shareholders was smoke and mirrors.  What we learned was that people liked to send pictures of themselves to grandma halfway across the country on Facebook and that they might hit the like button on her recently baked pie. Still, there is much about human beings that they hide from these data collection devices.  As it turns out, all Google, Facebook, Twitter, and many others could muster was inspiring the animal instincts of human beings and nothing more. Indeed not the eternal aspects of human behavior, their hopes, and dreams beyond their desires for food, sex, and economic fulfillment. 

I love video games, and I love virtual reality, but I have to say, and this is undoubtedly the case on popular multiplayer games like Call of Duty, which I play a lot; it always feels like a condom as opposed to an authentic experience.  Programers and the artificial reality that results from massive computers analyzing all our online moves only capture what a programmer thought to identify as a value.  And the artificial intelligence that follows only builds its perception of the world based on those limits.  I can move a lot better in real life than in Call of Duty.  It’s an exciting environment worth the technology, but it does not account for many human attributes such as imagination which has connections to many-dimensional aspects of experience.  The soul of a human exists way beyond the life of the body we inhabit, and this is still a mystery to the tech dictators at Google and Facebook.  Therefore, behavior still is and will continue to be a problem for them well into the future.  All their data collection only helps them understand the consumer experience. It has no way of understanding such things as to why people voted for Donald Trump despite their efforts to stop him or us from voting for a populist movement.  Much of the reason they had to conduct so much censorship during the last election and the use of medicines to fight off Covid-19 was that they had to hide from the world their limits because investors were watching.  Zuckerberg and Facebook already had this Metaverse all mapped out as part of their future, but as it turned out, it had severe limits and would continue to because it was soulless.  It lacked the elements that the soul of human beings truly desires, and that little secret only expands as the math problem of artificial intelligence programming expounds. If you get intelligence wrong at its birthplace, it only exacerbates the situation the more you use it.  So instead of artificial intelligence taking over the world as the newest power-hungry dictator, what you end up with is a nuisance.

The power of technology will be in its computing power, in being a beneficial, powerful calculator. It will not be the next excellent football star who can throw a ball down the field between two defenders for a touchdown with only seconds to think.  Because humanity has imagination, and artificial intelligence requires humans to explain imagination and the soul before writing a program to make it.   Yet, the humans programming these things don’t understand it themselves even though they may experience it.  They can’t identify it or its value.  So it doesn’t get measured and programmed, leaving all technology woefully dull and limited in what it can do.  So before you panic over artificial intelligence taking over the world, remember, they couldn’t stop Trump or us from voting for him.  They had to cheat like Democrats have been doing the old-fashioned way for over a hundred years, and for Mark Zuckerberg and the other tech dictators, they know that’s their ultimate weakness.
