Don’t Worry About the Moody’s Downgrade: A fight that has to happen

Don’t worry about the Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating.  Much of the problem starts with the Iranian apologist Mark Zandi and background anti-Trumpers like Warren Buffett using Berkshire Hathaway as a front for the story.  This is a game that has been ongoing in the background for a long time, and the concept is that you want them to want you.  Not where they want you to want them in the balance of power in a relationship, and the course Trump is taking with the American economy will force them to crawl like dogs into the Oval Office begging to be affiliated with the success story that is coming.  But for too long, a lot of weak, stupid people have groveled to these losers of finance who have giggled at the idea of American freedom in the background because they know they control everyone’s money.  And there has been peace, somewhat so, as long as the credit card works.  However, these are power-hungry entities, and this is a common strategy they employ in finance to exert control over domestic policy in favor of globalist intentions.  There are a lot of businesses that have been victims to just this kind of predatory lending and power struggle for control of those companies and what we are seeing applied to the Trump administration is a hatred for the America First policy of Trump and a refocus of their hatred for him and the MAGA movement in general.  The downgrade by Moody’s is not a surprise, and the result will be similar to everything the Never Trumpers have tried to do to Trump and those who support him.  They are attempting to regain control of the world, utilizing traditional financial tactics to achieve this.  And those tricks are baked into the system as it was built. 

This behavior from finance, not just by Moody’s but around the world, is a communist playbook that is precisely how China was set up as a communist country, propped up by these same financial, international monsters.  Their tongue-in-cheek statements about how countries should be run are that people can beat on their chest and declare independence all they want, but it would be central banking that would control people and their lives.  Like fish, they lure people into buying into their credit controls with the bait of easy money, then they snare them with a deep hook, allowing them to control every aspect of their lives.  And they make a lot of money from the debt of the countries to which they have loaned money.  And they believe that control has given them considerable power to override domestic policy on all fronts.  So they use credit ratings to control behavior.  It’s just another variation of the Chinese social media score.  If you exhibit behavior that the government dislikes, they will restrict your access to funds, which in a world where everything is paid for by credit card, could be devastating.  Which is why it has been set up that way, to get everyone addicted to easy cash at a low rate, so they could establish a deep-seated control hook in everyone’s life to run every aspect of their life.  And don’t kid yourself, they mean to do just that.  It’s a power trip that has always been a problem.  They are not our friends, these tyrants who work in finance.  They delude themselves about their actual value, and this impasse was always inevitable.  It has taken this long for a President to occupy the White House who truly represents the needs of the people, as the republic was designed. 

Moody’s cited the growing national debt, with projections exceeding $36 trillion, as one of its reasons, after it became apparent that Trump’s proposed budget would pass through Congress.  They also cited persistent fiscal deficits that are expected to worsen as government spending is outpacing revenue.  This is a shot at Trump’s tax cuts, aimed at extending the tax cuts from his previous term.  Moody’s people want more taxes on individuals, as they are unhappy about the lack of revenue.  They also don’t like that Trump plans to recover revenue by shifting it to tariffs, which has taken advantage of America’s economic power by reallocating wealth around the world to socialist and communist countries with unearned merit.  Moody’s wants that practice of unfairness to benefit them because globalism has set that system up to their advantage.  Moody’s also indicated that rising interest rates are crowding out other fiscal priorities.  However, those rates are directly tied to the Federal Reserve, which has painted itself into a corner with currency manipulation that it had counted on going in an entirely different direction.  Entitlement spending is expected to increase due to an aging population that lacks a sufficient birthrate to support the next generation, thereby requiring additional funding.  Most of what Moody’s indicated as justification for the downgrade are fears of what might happen.  But not so disguised is a hatred for Trump’s domestic policies that turn the power of the American economy back into a nationalist system that runs counter to all the manipulations of globalism have enacted to control all countries through fiscal policy.  It is the same communist controls they have in China and North Korea, even in Iran, where Marxism runs in the background of everything they do.  And in America, that was always the fate they intended for us, and they are angry that we aren’t doing what they expected us to do.

This fight goes back to even before the Presidency of Andrew Jackson, who I think was one of America’s greatest presidents.  The battle with the banks needed to happen, and all this time, there has been a kind of stalemate.  But in the finance industry, if you have had to work with them, there is an obvious power struggle that laughs at the Constitution and the premise that people can run themselves as a government.  Moody’s downgrade is essentially a social credit score designed to put pressure on Americans to comply with international expectations.  But Trump knows how to play this poker game, which essentially is what it is.  And the power of the American economy will force Moody’s to retract its position; it won’t be able to draw a hard line in the sand, as it hopes.  Because they will have a business need to affiliate themselves with success, don’t give a second thought to the Moody’s downgrade.  Those losers will have egg on their face in a much-deserved way for their pro-Communist China affiliation.  But remember that China would be nowhere if not for the money that has been stolen from the United States to prop it up as a communist state and example of the kind of government that central finance, with the option of a digital currency, always wanted.  They wanted to destroy the dollar, destroy American capitalism, and buy up all the debt so they could control all domestic policy around the world.  What these big banks have been doing is nothing short of a military incursion.  And they were out for blood, and Trump is taking all that away from them.  They are losing control, and all they have left is a downgrade to our credit rating.  But when you gain control of your economy so that revenue surpasses their fears, that power returns to the people who run the country.  And those banks and credit agencies will be forced to grovel at our feet.  And when they do, we’ll make a footstool of their cheesy haircuts and golf shirts.  They are going to lose control and there is nothing they can do to stop it.

Joe Biden’s Presidency Was Illegal: They are using the cancer diagnosis to hide the crime behind sympathy

Just remember, when people say that my topics are too wild to be believed, because lately I have been talking a lot about Atlantis and the origins of ancient civilizations, remember that most of the time, if not every single time, I am right about the things I say.  There is a reason by choice that I do not write for significant publications and flaunt academic credentials as part of a byline.  That is because I don’t trust institutionalism because of what I understand psychologically about the people who make it up, and the limits it places on society.  And I sometimes pick some of those complex and wild topics to stretch my legs.  Because when the rubber hits the road, I am always there to say, “I told you so.”  And that was certainly the case when it came to the origins of COVID-19.  I would say I was the very first person out of all the media in the world to call it what we now know it was, which includes some of the wildest so-called “right-winged media” out there.  And I was among the first to call the election fraud of 2020 what it was, and I turned out to be right about everything.  I have covered many very controversial, far-reaching topics that seem insane at the time, but once the facts all come in, I turn out to be right.  So I am having a little fun with the Joe Biden topic after the tapes captured by Robert Hur made their way into the mainstream media.  I found it astonishing that news commentators like Laura Ingraham were shocked by what they heard, which was that Joe Biden was utterly unable to function in a mental capacity and was essentially a Weekend at Bernie’s presidency, propped up by handlers to appear to be in charge.  It was all a complete deception, and once those tapes hit the news cycle, they announced that he had a ten-year-old prostate cancer diagnosis, hoping to use compassion to get the former president off the front pages.  The Hur tapes bring up a much more catastrophic problem that few people can handle.  But I will.

She knew, among many who did

Joe Biden was illegally inserted and was never in command of the White House, leaving unelected personalities running his presidency completely in the background, and now many of those people have been caught.  Now, the good thing is that this break in trust is healthy for people to experience.  Society has been suckered by a group that we call “elites” who hold the power in our offices outside of elected representation.  And it’s a hard learned lesson that will forever change the Democrat Party.  I think they are destroyed forever, but we’ll see.  I don’t see them ever returning from the damage they have inflicted on themselves over these last five years, starting with the Covid cover-up, and ending with the truth about the Biden presidency.  They lied about everything, including his cancer diagnosis.  It’s possible they even lied to Biden himself to keep him smiling for the cameras and standing at a podium with a stick up his backside to keep him from falling over.  We are witnessing a grand deception on an epic scale that was massively illegal in the process, and people will never forget it.  So as we hear the stories of the media sacrificing themselves now hoping to win back trust, and the Jake Tapper’s of the world come out with their books and are getting raked over the coals for what they knew but didn’t say about the matter, and Jim Comey is getting embarrassed in public at book signings by an angry public, and he smiles and takes it, because he has no other option, remember who told you first about all these things……….I did. 

Trump may want to give Biden a pass, but the former president played right along with the plan, knowing the people behind it.

I run the blog because it gives me a chance to express trustworthy independent journalism, and because of how I live my life, it is free of outside influence.  I can afford to do things almost no other journalist in the world can do.  And that is a very valuable asset in a free speech environment.  And people ask me all the time why I do it.  Well, it’s for cases like this, the Joe Biden case, that I do what I do, even though many of the things I said were ridiculed extensively right out of the gate.  Just as the things I am speaking about, like Atlantis, might seem too wild to seriously consider.  When something is so far outside of a mainstream narrative, people have a hard time with it.  But when that state of disbelief is part of the crime, to use that nature against people to perpetuate a knowing deception on the world, we should all have a significant problem with that type of conduct.  And I certainly do, and that’s why I choose to produce the kind of media I do, in the form that I decided to do it.  And the sum of the whole Biden story is that everything Biden signed as president is invalidated because of this massive cover-up, which is the real reason that the cancer diagnosis came out when it did, to use sympathy to hide the crime.  These people have been caught in a major crime against the United States of America, which is all of us who are citizens of this country, and there is no forgiveness for that transgression.  All the people involved in the Biden cover-up committed a significant crime that must now be punished. 

I had to remind a few good friends I have in the media, who are very close to the White House, when the story broke over a mid-May weekend in 2025 that Biden’s cancer story was a ruse, and not to fall for it.  He’s an old man, and most men will eventually get prostate cancer of some kind.  There is no surprise by that diagnosis, so don’t go soft on Biden because he’s a dying man.  I’ve been warning for a long time that when the crapola hit the fan with Biden, they would try to use a funeral to take people’s minds away from the seriousness of the crime.  And that’s what they tried to do with the cancer diagnosis.  Don’t be a sucker and fall for it.  The real story is that everything Biden touched was illegal, including his nomination of a Supreme Court member in Ketanji Brown Jackson, the extremely liberal trainwreck that should be nowhere near a courtroom.  But it wasn’t Biden who picked her, but rather Barack Obama, and Alex Soros, along with his terrorist father, George Soros.  People we did not elect and had no legal right to the office of the Executive Branch. That means every bill signed was signed under illegal conditions and is invalid.  Everything that Biden had been doing for four years was unlawful.  And how do we know? We know they put him in place with election fraud.  And if that story is too wild for you, then now you have the proof that the people behind Biden lied about his health.  He had this cancer before he was elected president, and they lied about it to put him in office so they could essentially run him as a puppet in the background.  They rigged the entire process to get a compromised puppet in the White House so that they could steal that power away from voters.  Just let that sink in.  This is a bigger story than most anybody could wrap their minds around.  But there it is.  And the damage from this will never allow things to return to what they were before.  And a lot of people are in deep trouble for it.  Jake Tapper and Jim Comey are just the tip of the tip of the iceberg.  And the Democrat Party has hit that iceberg, and is sinking very fast.

The Fate of Atlantis: Letting the CIA shape a narrative through federal money on college campuses–controlling what people know and believe

I have a mission in life that involves the mounds of Ohio, which was why I was reading the older book now by David Price, Weaponizing Anthropology. Price is a professor of anthropology at Sait Martin’s University in Lacy, Washington, and is well known to poke a stick at things.  Even though he is noticeably interested in the fictional concept of social justice and radical progressive causes, he is also a free speech advocate who was pen pals with Julian Assange during the heyday of WikiLeaks.  I was also interested in what he had to say about CIA penetration into the field of anthropology, which we are all very familiar with now as a problem in all sciences.  So I slugged through the anti-Bush diatribes, because he was also pretty hard on President Obama, as the book was published around 2011.  So it’s not exactly up-to-date current events, but it does show to what extent the danger of providing federal money to science has been, which can then be applied to just about anything.  Thinking about the pre-COVID world, the ability to purchase scientific opinion was a real problem that is essentially the caution of a book like this, so it was a bit odd to read about it now, knowing what we do about things.  But for me, I don’t like being lied to, and the mound culture analysts that have come from the fields of archaeology and anthropology are ripe for exposure, and I was interested to see just what extent my thoughts on the matter were relevant as it turns out, its far worse than I thought.  The problem is how a government can control the flow of information and how much it costs to purchase the truth.  The CIA has been very interested in doing just that, and when you get this kind of evidence, the magnitude of the problems comes into focus fast.

For instance, if you look at the coastline of Florida, well into the Gulf of America, now would have been a vast span of land that took up most of it, all the way over to where the Mississippi River is now, which would have all been above water 15,000 years ago.  And the real definition of Native American indigenous people is not what we found when Columbus came to America, but was the remains of a previous culture that was advanced and very organized, and had been around longer than the established Clovis assumptions of post-Ice Age habitation.  Ocean levels were more than 400 feet lower because ice displacement from the glaciers locked up massive amounts of moisture at the poles.  That means that North America had a very different coastline, and the evidence of people living in America is well preserved miles offshore of our current coast.  Divers have found all kinds of good things to research, so it’s not controversial to observe and prove.  As I said to an investigator the other day who explores these kinds of things, as a science, we have been looking for the car keys under a parking lot light at night, because that’s where we can see.  But we lost the keys in the bar, which is now closed.  So we look where we can, and conclude things based on that minimal vantage point.  This is the case for all the mound builders; thousands of sites exist in the United States.  In Ohio, you can’t go even today more than 10 to 14 miles in any direction and not find evidence of this previous culture.  To get to the point, I think that the last culture was ancient Atlantis, as reported by Plato in his famous writings on the matter, which were historical, not elements of fantastic fiction.  The proof is everywhere, but we don’t look at it.

But why?  That’s where the CIA and other government forces come into the picture.  Why would the CIA want to create an official narrative within the field of social sciences to shape a domestic opinion?  Well, there is a political narrative of anti-American sentiment attached to the exploitation of indigenous people that shapes our political order, and any talk about Atlantis being destroyed, 50,000 years ago or even 10,000 years ago violates the narrative that the CIA has been able to inject into the official narrative to explain that Clovis people came into North America during the Ice Age and migrated as hunters and gathers as happy nature worshippers until the mean Europeans arrived and took their blissful life away from them with the exploits of capitalism. Instead, the Atlantis discussion shows the catastrophe of a failed government with advanced abilities that crumbled into nothingness for many detrimental reasons.  And we should understand, as a modern culture, what those reasons were, so we don’t make the same mistakes ourselves.   So, rather than deal with the facts, the CIA was able to capture the reporting of the facts through funding and penetration into campus scientists and force them to support a CIA-directed narrative, by controlling the nature of federal funding.  When the government can make loans for expensive educations available cheaply, they can control the terms of the education and, by clause of contract, force borrowers to say and do anything they want.  And it has been a massive problem that has massively compromised the field of anthropology.  We saw all the sciences exposed in raw form during COVID, where so many scientists said what the world governments wanted them to say.  In this way, David Price has been an insider whistleblower. 

The evidence of science should take us where the evidence goes.  And whatever it is, it is what it is.  I don’t talk about the Atlantis theory as a hope or wishful, and fanciful thinking, I say it because the evidence takes us there.  But hidden in front of that evidence is this government control of an official narrative installed by elements like the CIA, who have a massive desire to control the populations of the world, which is why they have been interested in anthropologists being on their payroll.  Through black budgets unregulated by Congress, these people have been able to shape the truth they want society to establish so they can control how people feel about it.  And there is an obvious political motivation behind the victimization narrative.  The CIA signed up for the globalist agenda at least since Kissinger was working to bring China into the fold.  A lot of history is hidden in plain sight all through China and Russia, and down into that vast territory in the Near East, to the familiar sites of Iraq and Iran.  And in all those areas, the same earth structures are seen in North America from a mound-building culture that came from somewhere and was everywhere, much deeper into history than we have been previously told.  And the motivation for these deceptions was control over the current population and what they know about history.  The Native American narrative is a Democrat plot against the creation of America to begin with.  And the forces of the world that currently want to be in power, as they showed during the self-made Covid crisis, are to erase the truth.  That, well before the Archaic period, there was a global civilization that suffered a catastrophe and fled to all corners of the world, resulting in the mound-building cultures that had with them a technology that was more occult than physical science.  And that society had failed long before Columbus discovered that ancient land.  Which, of course, would violate the narrative the modern CIA wanted to project.  And their ability to capture a version of the truth that the mass population would accept is the real result of government control over finance and the ability to know what the truth is and whether or not anybody can be trusted who accepts federal money, for anything.

The United Nations is Going Bankrupt: They never should have been created

I’m thrilled to hear it.  I used to go to meetings with my congressional representative, John Boehner, where he would do meet-and-greets, before he was Speaker of the House in 2010, and ask him to get the United States out of the United Nations.  Most of the time, he wasn’t there, but had assistants who would take notes for him, but they’d giggle about the crazy right-wing lunatic who they were embarrassed to have as a neighbor.  But I was serious.  I didn’t see anything good coming out of the United Nations.  Americans never wanted to be in the United Nations, even though President Woodrow Wilson wanted America to lead the League of Nations.  Americans finally caved after World War II because nobody wanted to see another Hitler in the world, so we ended up with the ridiculous United Nations, and things have gone downhill for America since then.  Americans want to be left alone and free from world problems.  But we have all these nosey politicians who like to drink tea with their pinky out, and sip wine of specific vintages, and they want to be respected by Europeans, so they have been trying to drag America into a marriage with the rest of the world for generations.  I would even argue that if not for sinister forces working in the background, we would never have had any World Wars, so it can be argued that the wars themselves were constructs meant to create a global government.  Not to prevent hostile characters that might plunge the world into war.  Hitler was a creation of a lot of bad people.  And the United Nations was never the solution. Instead, the solution to many of the world’s evils was more Bible reading and independence from the world’s villains. 

But finally, we have a President who gets it, and a political class that can at least understand what that President is up to and why.  People aren’t laughing when they say they want to be separated from the United Nations like it used to be.  Living in Liberty Township, Ohio, specifically Butler County, I think about the United Nations whenever I see a roundabout.  Most people don’t know it, but many of the sustainable living implements introduced socially have come from the United Nations Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 flowdown plans, and our colleges accepted these communist traps hook, line, and sinker for years.  When our township politicians hired people out of these colleges as community developers they brought Agenda 21 sustainable living priorities with them and we ended up with a bunch of sidewalks and roundabouts to adopt more European ideas of community building and environmental impact with the ultimate goal of keeping people in their homes more and driving cars less.  And the whole thing has made me sick every time I go through a roundabout, which are almost as common in Butler County, Ohio, these days as they are in socialist run Europe.  People argue about their worth; they say they are better at keeping cars moving, and they prevent accidents, which make insurance companies happy, who lobby politicians for ways to make society safer so that people will buy insurance but not have accidents to force payouts.  So for all the tyrannical micromanagers out there, Agenda 21 would make them a lot of money, but the goal was to limit freedoms so that stuffy bureaucrats could have an easy time at managing society with a growing centralized government and encourage through policy fewer people to leave their homes, but rather to take a sidewalk everywhere, and to ride bicycles instead of cars.  The roundabouts keep you moving, but also slow you down to go around those stupid circles.  I like long straightaways that we used to have in America, where you could go fast, and even quicker if you could beat the yellow light at an intersection.  Sure, there were more accidents, but life in general was better. 

And never forget that COVID was the ultimate creation of the United Nations to implement their Agenda 21 projects and to set the world on the same page with 2030 priorities.  And yes, COVID was a created virus meant to kill people to force acceptance of these ridiculous stay-at-home policies and conformity to centralized government rules.  If people didn’t die, nobody would listen to an overstuffed government, so through the World Health Organization, a division of the United Nations, a virus was created that would set the world on a Great Reset, much of which still hasn’t recovered.  COVID was planned and implemented using the Chinese system.  The virus was leaked out of a lab in China under very nefarious circumstances.  And immediately, the United Nations had the world on lockdown, micromanaging the economy globally, including America, and they thought that people would fall in line better than they did.  Instead, we had significant pushback and a world angry at the policies of the United Nations, and now we have a President willing to push back against them.  And to cut the money confiscated from Americans and redistribute it to the United Nations, to work against the nature of Americans themselves. Finally, we have politicians willing to stand up to that global tyranny and not play the game, which is great. 

What’s better is the recent report that the United Nations is running out of money because, without the United States, that motley band of socialists, communists, and Marxists has no money.  They can only loot cash from the only capitalist country in the world, America, to sustain themselves.  And now, because we elected Trump, they have essentially been cut off.  And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of people.  So I’m pretty happy about their trajectory toward financial ruin.  I have never liked the United Nations.  I have never liked politicians who support them and wanted to join them.  And I would say that without their desire to be created in the first place, we never would have had a World War.  Those wars were created as a reaction to the globalist push that followed the Jekyll Island meetings that started the Federal Reserve, and if you trace all the money and influence to their sources, you will find that it all goes to centralized monetary policy, especially the banks of Europe.  So, there was never anything good about any of this, and what upset them the most was that even after all this time, they never found a way to get Americans to comply with the United Nations willingly.  Sure, we built some roundabouts and sidewalks.  However, people have never embraced the United Nations’ globalist priorities.  Instead, we elected people like President Trump to say no to the United Nations.  And now they struggle to survive because they have nothing without American money.  Because they are rotten, stinking, Marxist countries with bad leadership and horrible economic policies.  And micromanagers without a clue.  But they can name a wine from France in a dinner conversation.  And they will drink it with their pinky out.  I would say that the United Nations types and their supporters are worthless people in life, and I am glad to see them finally rejected for the losers they have always been.  And the more miserable they are, the happier I am.

The Attack on Ohio’s Energy Grid: The Lawfare that put Householder in jail was an assult, not justice

To remind everyone, Larry Householder, the former Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, is serving a jail term of 20 years.  And knowing now what I said then, the case was purely about politics and nothing about justice.  The same courts that have been trying to put Trump in jail are what’s at work here.  When you are in the Speaker position and you have to raise money for your party, what are you supposed to do when a company that supplies power to the energy grid in the form of two nuclear power plants in northern Ohio are being pushed out of business by that same government, the case from top to bottom was as dirty as it gets.  And it wasn’t Householder who was the dirty dealer.  The entire FirstEnergy case is about Democrats who were jealous of the power Republicans have in Columbus, and they used lawfare to attempt to break up that control and wrestle power back in their favor.  And they targeted Householder because he was trying to save an energy company that was targeted by the Obama administration for destruction as a progressive war against energy, which we saw during the Biden administration was purposeful and malicious.  Democrats and progressives wanted to reduce the power grid away from its known levels and shove everyone into solar and wind without having any real means to supply the demand that consumers needed.  Instead, the plan was to reduce the supply and force people to cut back on their needs.  The federal government targeted FirstEnergy to go out of business so that the Ohio power grid could not sustain the needs of consumers, and that was always the real story.  I wouldn’t call what Householder was doing to try to save the company bribery, a kind of pay-to-play scheme, politics.  The real problem was the attack on Ohio’s energy grid, which was the real menace in the story.

That’s not to say that Larry Householder and others in the Republican Party were squeaky clean.  There is a way to handle a situation like that correctly, and they did not handle the pressure or the temptations well.  Calling Householder a mob boss as if he were Al Capone or some other mobster is disingenuous, and only reflects that Democrats don’t have similar personality types in their party that can take control in Columbus.  However, when it comes to Republicans, taking Householder off the map only allowed other characters to fill the void, and that’s not a bad thing.  When we elect these people, we expect to get things done, and we expect the party we elect into power to keep that power, and sometimes the game can get messy.  But we want our people to win the game by whatever means necessary.  Where the line gets crossed is when you start accepting gifts and vacations, even if well-intentioned.  For people like Householder, the power can go to their heads, and they can get lost in the process.  But the forced lapse in judgment wasn’t caused by some power-hungry maniac as much as it came from a desperate power company under attack by the government itself, seeking help from the Republican Party to stay viable.  It wasn’t mismanagement that was causing FirstEnergy to go out of business and need a bailout, it was the purposeful government rules and regulations that were intent to destroy them so that all people would be forced to turn away from their power needs and manage a shortfall, just like what California has seen with its brownouts and the push to force them to run their air conditioners less in the summer, and make concessions to their power consumption.  The attack on the American energy grid is the real story and is what is hiding behind the optics of throwing the Speaker in Ohio in jail over pure politics.

This is a war by radical communists disguising themselves as “progressives” attempting to torpedo the American economy with regulatory policy meant to destroy our energy infrastructure, and it’s no different than if planes from China had attacked our homes with a bombing campaign.  If you trace the money in the way that the federal case against Householder was conducted, you would see George Soros’s money funneling into the Ohio Democrat Party by all kinds of back-door means, and many hostile agents against America like him.  Many of the Democrats who were crying foul in the Householder case, hoping to gain political power in the vacuum of leadership during the trial, are doing the business of countries hostile to America and seeking its destruction.  When you are against the American power grid and trying to make the intent to destroy it with a feel-good environmental concern, you are doing far worse than what the Speaker was accused of.  But the complicit media played along, hung a politician they didn’t like who was a leader in a party they wanted out of power, and they used the levers of corruption of our court system to perform the task of putting someone in jail to hide their complicity in destroying the power grid of Ohio.  I hear it every time I go to Columbus, where attorneys and lawyers brag about their role in implementing solar farms, such as the one outside Chillicothe, Ohio.  And strong-arming companies into EPA compliance that could come straight out of the Karl Marx playbook. No, the real bad guys didn’t go to jail.  They jailed the people standing in their way. 

While all this was going on with Householder, the same federal court system was trying to put Trump in jail. It was destroying Rudy Giuliani’s law practice for defending Trump.  And the now-famous mug shot of Trump was broadcast around the world as the real threats to America were showing their control over our court system.  So, Householder going to jail is nothing short of an exhibition of that abuse of power.  It is tough to stay completely clean in anything when so much money is involved, and you have to give Trump credit for running about as clean a ship as anybody in his position could, because nothing stuck to him.  But if he had not won the presidency again in 2024, he would have had similar charges thrown at him as Householder saw.  And Trump would have been sentenced to not just 20 years, but over 100.   And Big Tish James would be free of any scandals of her own, which she is now wonderfully drowning in.  It’s not enough to say that they are all dirty and that corruption should be cleaned up.  The real game is that the federal government thinks it can pick winners and losers, and it picked FirstEnergy to be a loser because they were trying to supply power to a state in need.  And the government run by Obama, then by Biden, wanted to destroy that power supply to force people closer to a zero-emission world with untested clean energy they knew wasn’t ready to replace the state’s energy needs.  And they used political power through the courts they control to remove their political opponents from the battlefield, and to put them in jail to warn others away from standing in front of them.  That’s the truth about Larry Householder’s case.  And not enough people defended him when they should have, because the next victim could be anybody.

The Jesse Watters DOGE Interview: A change that will last

It was an excellent interview with Jesse Watters, DOGE, and Elon Musk.  I think we are seeing something here that will stick around, and I couldn’t be happier, reflecting over the years to the early part of the Tea Party movement, when fiscal responsibility was our main concern.  It seemed inconceivable at the time that something like a DOGE would ever happen.  But here we are in 2025 having serious discussions about the massive government waste that taxpayers are funding, and it’s not just a campaign issue that comes up every four years.  As Elon Musk has set it up, DOGE has emerged as something that can stick around long after he’s gone, which is what good CEOs do for their companies: you set the table and make it so that you build a culture that can run on its own.  And I’m sure Elon Musk will stick around and be a figurehead of DOGE for a long time.  But what he has created and what the members are doing will last and become a part of government oversight that will last even as the political tides might change.  The Jesse Watters interview captured well what DOGE really is, which I’m sure they had no idea it would be.  One thing that was certainly obvious was that the people doing DOGE are brilliant and well-intentioned, and what Elon Musk has done as the head of the effort is set a standard that can now cascade into a culture of scrutiny that should have been present from the beginning.  Whenever you have money involved, there will be people looking to exploit the system so they can steal some of it.  And when you have a government this big and powerful, that can confiscate so much wealth from people, abuse was a certainty.  But to what extent can people only imagine, until now?

I don’t think Elon Musk needs to be there every day to run DOGE.  It’s nice that he is still doing it even as the government’s activism against him has sought to ruin his car company, Tesla.  Elon Musk might be the wealthiest person in the world, but this commitment to DOGE has cost him dearly.  And I think from here on out, all that needs to be done is to empower people like the current DOGE members into doing the work and to let it take on a life of its own.  What they ended up with differs from what they set out to do in saving trillions of dollars off the top of the budget.  Most of the savings they have extracted aren’t the obvious things like entitlement payments and program-driven budgets, but the day-to-day abuses that get hidden behind all the chaos.  Most of the savings coming from DOGE are in saved opportunity cost, which is usually very hard to measure.  Elon Musk’s way of thinking when running his other companies was just what was needed.  The government has required this oversight since it started collecting taxes, and what Elon Musk has done in this very short time deserves great recognition and gratitude because he could have done what most everyone does, and just ignored the problem.  When you are as wealthy as he is, he could have easily turned his back on the issue and moved offshore to live a fun life.  But to sink his teeth into this project took guts, and because of it, we’ll be talking about DOGE, I think, permanently. 

People can’t be trusted to do the right things on their own, and one thing that came out of the DOGE interview on Fox News was how many people have been abusing the system dramatically.  I saw much of this firsthand when my wife and I traveled to Washington, D.C. for an extended period and lived in Fairfax County to see how most of those communities entirely existed off the waste scraped off the top of government.  Many of the programs that have so much waste in them were created with the best of intentions, but when you involve people who are always looking for the easiest way to do things, a scandal is bound to happen, and many people are professional con artists, even to themselves.  They can look in the mirror and even lie to what looks back and feel okay with it.  Those are the kind of people drawn to government work, and the many spoils come from a largely unregulated system.  The stories of abuse that DOGE is telling are just the tip of the iceberg.  And, astonishingly, we are talking about it now.  I thought from the Tea Party perspective that we’d have to have another Revolutionary War-type engagement to get control of government spending and waste.  I never thought that President Trump, one of the wealthiest men in the world, would be in the White House, which meant he was personally free of the typical social constraints that even keep the questions from being asked.  Or that the wealthiest and most innovative CEO in the world would personally create a department to oversee waste management and root out the perpetrators like a gunslinging sheriff in a wild and hostile old west town full of criminals. 

I think Elon Musk has done enough, and if he did nothing else with DOGE, he has given us something that will last well into the future.  I do not think that Democrats will be back in the White House anytime soon, if ever.  I do not see them retaking power in the House and Senate and gaining the ability to stop DOGE politically.  No, I think DOGE is here to stay and will run fine because it has good people in it, and it started because of Elon Musk.  But it has emerged into its own thing, and now there is a level of expectation for it to continue.  The public will never not want a DOGE to look out for waste on their behalf.  Going back to the system where looters were free to steal all they could from the government system will never be what it was.  In a lot of ways, creating DOGE is what people looked through all the smoke to elect Trump in the first place was all about.  This is precisely why we wanted Trump.  Elon Musk wouldn’t be able to participate in our government if not for how Trump runs things.  This kind of CEO management style has taken this government waste problem and brought it out of the box for us to fix, instead of the continued policies of hiding the issue from the world and hoping that nobody notices.  DOGE has been so successful that the expectation will be that it will always be a part of government and that its role will expand with time to unleash enterprising people to protect government systems from the parasitic nature of most human beings.  Only the threat of getting caught will keep people in line.  And without DOGE, there was nothing to give criminals pause.  But now there is, and we are far better off for it.

The Wall Street Casino: Never build an economy off slot machines

I’ve heard a lot of dumb talk about the state of the economy at the end of Trump’s first 100 days in office, but people who have been profiting off the chaos for a long time expect it to continue.  Specifically, the condition of the stock market and GDP growth are at a very slow 1.7%.  I would say to everyone, don’t be a sucker, all the economic reporting over the last several years has been phony bologna built on a house of wet cards.  We’ve been in depression territory most of the Biden years, and it was never reported that way because of the Fed’s Modern Monetary Theory of printing fake money to prop up our entire monetary system artificially.  And because they don’t like Trump, they are turning off the faucet to make him look bad.  But real value, where things matter, is improving dramatically, especially on the energy front.  There is a lot of opportunity for massive economic growth, but the control over the usual measures has been ripped away from the bad guys, who aren’t happy about it.  So don’t be a sucker and listen to their cries for help.  And certainly don’t think the stock market is a good measure of economic growth.  At best, the stock market is a gambling casino.  It is designed so the house always wins; sometimes, they let out enough money to encourage people to play.  But you can’t build a policy based on it.  Just as nobody in their right mind would call spending money and reporting winnings from a casino or horse racing as real value, other than in just getting lucky.  You cannot build a national monetary policy around the casino game of stock market investments.  And if anybody thought that the stock market provided guarantees on investments, then they are the victims of a sucker’s game meant to take advantage of the gullible. 

I have been saying this for a long time, and have cautioned Trump people to attach their name to any stock market increases.  The stock market has exploded since Trump was in office the first time, but that isn’t because of Trump’s economic policies, it as a move by the Fed to wash printed money into Wall Street so that firms like BlackRock could gain purchasing power to leverage debt and produce buyouts of companies so that radical leftist boards full of woke politics could take over and manage American companies and they were controlled by the direct CEO letters that Larry Fink would send out to the market, and people would listen because people’s 401K plans were used to hide the ruse.  People would not question this insurrection of America’s monetary policy if they thought they were making a lot of money on the stock market.  But in truth, it was an artificial bubble created by deceit to gain control of American industry and to implement DEI policies to control their management systems.  I have had a front row seat to all this, and I can say that what I’m saying is that I’m putting it nicely.  Maybe too nicely.  But I am sympathetic to all the suckers out there who have fallen for this trick.  If everyone had just thought of the stock market for what it is, a casino, there would be a lot fewer broken hearts now.  I’m not against casinos or the stock market.  But know the game we are playing.  The system is not designed to make people wealthy,  Only to convince them to play the game so they can wash all that phony money injected into the market with real value from the suckers who play the slot machines in the casino, where the house always wins.  And in this case, the home is the Fed. 

Trump would do better to separate himself from the Stock Exchange and stick to tangible assets, such as drilling for oil and an energy policy that can be exported and has real value.  But the liberal media reporting has cooked the books for a long time and isn’t suddenly going to print the truth.  They didn’t suddenly become honest with Trump’s first 100 days in his second term, after Biden was pushed out of office with a massive election victory.  The financial media need suckers from their gambling tables, and BlackRock and the other money managers need real value to wash the money of the fake stuff the Fed has been printing.  They don’t want the GDP to grow without their fingers on that growth so that they can manipulate the results.  And they certainly don’t want their scam to end.  I would recommend that Trump’s White House separate itself as much as possible from Wall Street because a massive correction is coming, and many people will be very upset.  But a lot of real wealth will also be created.  But not from the casino of Wall Street.  Real value in housing, energy, defense, technology, and health will emerge under the capitalism of the Trump administration, and a hateful media culture will not like it.  And they will try to steer people away from Trump’s policies because they know they will lose control of the process during this next Trump term.  The stock market was always a house of cards that would fall at the slightest gust of wind. 

Andrew Jackson warned of this condition when he was president in the early part of the 19th Century and had his famous war with the banks.  We are in a battle for who controls our finances.  Financial people have been happy to let Tea Party types who have grown into MAGA supporters talk about free speech and fiscal responsibility, so long as they continued to seek value for their money from their casinos.  But there isn’t a single money manager out there who is selling investments that do not attempt to take advantage of the short gains of the casino slot machines that come in the form of quarterly reports in industries propped up with phony Fed money, while in reality, socialist policies have capped off our markets in detrimental, and truly destructive ways.  The flashy lights keep everyone from seeing the drunks playing the game with free alcohol provided by the house to numb our senses, and convince us to be easy suckers with prostitutes on our arms posing to be future wives so long as they continued to hit it big.  And to do that, you had to keep playing the game.  No, that game is for idiots; if you have been one of them, that’s on you.  We are taking control of our monetary system, and the casinos aren’t going to be happy about it, and don’t expect them to be.  But don’t expect the United States to build its economy on a gambling platform only.  You can’t make a society off a policy meant to protect stock market gains that were purely fictitious.  And the Fed has dumped so much phony money into the system, they fear people finding out about it.  So, for Trump’s part, let them learn the hard way and don’t attach any part of the administration to the stock market.  It was always a bad measure that bad people controlled for manipulations that have been bad for America.  And it’s time to stop playing that corrupt game rooted in dishonesty and villainy.

The Collapsing Birth Rates in America: There just aren’t enough good men for women who want kids

Let’s face it: one of the biggest crisis issues today is that there are just not enough good men out there. Our society is not producing them, and much of that is purposeful. But we have to talk about it, and the prospect of collapsing birthrates. If you think we have financial problems now, with Social Security and the legacy costs of government employment, then just add to that the prospect of a generation in 20 years where there are fewer people in your economy to work and pay taxes to keep those benefits going. The problem is even more serious than that, but to put it mildly, we need an expanding birthing population, not a declining one. I would argue that the average birthrate per family should be much higher than that of two children. Elon Musk and President Trump are good examples of a nontraditional family approach where each man has produced many kids with multiple women, which is not what I would recommend. I like the idea of romantic love as the troubadours proposed it. But out of necessity, women who want children turn to nontraditional ways of getting there and redefining what a family is. And to understand that, we have to look for historical examples of how the Bible dealt with these problems in the past. Romantic love was an excessive luxury from a culture that could afford it. Most of the time, and in most regions of the world even to this very day, arranged marriages to secure the production of children in a family unit was the primary concern. The happiness of the participants was a distant priority. So, this notion of picking a soulmate and bonding with that person for life is a very new one. And maintaining a sexual union with that one person is an evolutionary idea, not a foundational concern. And sadly, we are seeing too many people these days having to face the music on what all that means to them.


The story of Jacob, father of the Israeli people, is a good example and the center of a lot of controversy, especially when we talk about Mormons practicing polygamy. To avoid the legal stigma of having more than one wife, people are turning to loose sexual associations within the context of mature relationships to produce children by multiple women, which is what Elon Musk has been doing. And women, if they want children from stable and good men, they have to make severe concessions to their expectations in life. And that’s how it was when Jacob met Rachel by a well and fell in love with her. Real troubadour love. And she was excited and went home to tell her family about it. But her father was having a hard time marrying off his oldest daughter, Leah. So he tricked the young Jacob by telling him to labor for him for 7 years to win Rachel’s hand in marriage. Then on the wedding night, he put a veil on his oldest daughter and sent her to Jacob to consummate the marriage. In the morning, Jacob was upset that he had not slept with Rachel, but her older sister, Leah. So Jacob complained to the father, and they made a deal. Jacob would work for the father for another 7 years to win Rachel’s hand, too. Because he really loved Rachel, he did not love Leah. But he ended up, after fourteen years of labor, having two legal wives and two concubines, one coming with each of the daughters. The women had to make all kinds of concessions to earn their way under Jacob’s roof because the value system of that time was the production of children.


One woman can only produce so many kids in her lifetime, so in families like Jacob’s, which was common in the near east and is even a common practice to this day in that region if a man can afford multiple wives, the institution of marriage is not to preserve the troubadour concept of individual love and its fulfilment to a personal journey, but the production of a large family with lots of children to populate the earth and multiply proportionally. Out of those four women, the 12 tribes of Israel were made, which created all of the Jewish people we think of now. It was complicated; the older sister, Leah, was scorned because she was unloved. She did her duty but wasn’t the sister Jacob wanted, so it was far from a happy home. And out of necessity, because there aren’t many good men today, women are finding themselves in situations similar to Leah’s. They want children, but they may not be able to afford a man of their own in the troubadour sense of romantic love, because our society has pushed that concept aside in favor of a depopulation agenda that has targeted the human race for disposal, and a biological terrorist to the sustenance of nature on earth. And that failure has left a lot of broken hearts and desperate women who have found that a career servicing the state did not fill the hole in their hearts of producing children in the context of a family they could believe in. So we are seeing the remnants of a massive social experiment that has failed grotesquely and left many people wanting, even to the point where President Trump’s three wives and children, who came from all of them, appear normal by today’s standards.


The Bible is about a lot of things, but there is a lot of sex in it. One of the more dramatic ones is the story of Abraham and Sarah, who had the son Isaac late in life. But before that, because Sarah couldn’t produce children, she wanted her husband to sleep with her handmaid Hagar, who made the son Ishmael. Isaac became the father of the Jewish and Christian people. Ishmael, the scorned son cast away once born by the jealous and regretful wife, became the father of Islam. We see how that went; the world is fighting with each other like brothers fight over a father’s love and respect. However, the root cause of the problem was that not enough good men and women were willing to make concessions to have children and build a family. And that is where many women are now, and it’s a shame. But it’s something we have to deal with to solve our birthrate problem. We need to produce more children for all kinds of reasons. And we need to do it in this generation. There was a reason that during western expansion, Americans produced big families with many children, and the Bible was a motivating factor for that belief system. And the production of children was the primary concern. The idea of romantic love and dedication came to those who could afford such an idea. But the first thing we must deal with is that we need more men who are worth building a family with. And that is the significant crisis of our time. There aren’t enough good men for women to produce children with. And that needs to change, dramatically. Oh, there are a lot of men, for the most part, one for every woman. But most of them aren’t worth the trouble, leaving women desperately struggling to make concessions that they shouldn’t have to make.

Yes, We Are Going to Arrest Judges and Put Them in Jail: “Imagine” a world where law breakers actually get punished

Yes, to answer the question, we will put judges in jail.  If they break the law, they will be arrested and thrown in jail with everyone else.  And that is a lesson that Judge Dugan in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, learned in late April of 2025 as she was trying to help an illegal alien escape as agents were in her courtroom to deport the guy.  We have been talking about the radicalism of our judiciary, who have come to believe that they don’t have to live by the same rules that the rest of society does, but that they have gained king like powers to resist temporary challenges to social order by elected representatives, like Trump in the White House.  So their goal is to put on the brakes and use the process to stall out temperaments.  Their commitment to the hostile policies of the Open Border movement, which is globalist in nature, was never more evident than in their resistance to the Trump movement.  During the last term, we saw that resistance to the popularly elected Trump came from the FBI and other forces at the Department of Justice.  Now the shoe is on the other foot, and Trump has control of those arms of government.  Because people gave him that power through an election, and now we see as a last line of defense these radical leftist judges who always think they could make up the law from the bench and build the kind of society that they’d like as liberals.  This has been a tactic that has emerged more from the background, the longer Trump has been in politics, because the radicalism was always hidden behind polite society.  And to expose it, Trump needed to make society less polite.  We were dealing with a “screw you over with a smile on our faces” culture that was very manipulative and malicious. 

But Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the Pam Bondi Justice Department, with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino working on the FBI side, and we suddenly have many different government agencies we can feel good about.  Before Trump was elected back to office, the FBI was helping judicial radicalism, which is why all these sanctuary cities thought they were going to be able to defy Trump.  But now that cover story has been stripped away, the judges are all alone and exposed.  A former ex-judge in New Mexico was also arrested with his wife for essentially doing the same thing as Judge Dugan. Retired Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife Nancy were arrested at their home by Homeland Security, now ran by the great Kristi Noem, for tampering with evidence by destroying the cell phone of his wife as they were harboring Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, a 23-year old Venezuelan national and suspected member of the Tren de Aragua gang.  When they say, “but there is no evidence,” they say stupid things like that because they know their role in destroying evidence and think we’ll never figure it out.  These old judges who think they are in command of the legal system know that to get convictions, you have to have evidence.  So we have a whole subculture of radical, Marxist liberals who think that if they destroy the evidence, our judicial system will never prosecute and get a conviction.  I have seen this process up close, so it’s a huge problem.  Marxists have been playing on the gullibility of good Christian people for many years, and honestly, we’re tired of it.  That’s why people voted for Trump: to give us these new government agencies that had been corrupted by indecision in the past, but now will enforce the law, even when we know that people like Hillary Clinton are destroying the evidence of her email correspondence.  Or that proof of election fraud was wiped out by the courts, which wanted to certify someone they politically support.  Or in the case of illegal immigration, this judicial couple felt they had the power to change immigration law with a protest by using the system against itself.  And now with Kristi Noem, that shell game is no longer working.

And that is the real fear, the radical left’s observation about arresting judges for getting in the way of Trump’s deportation policies.  Before Trump was elected, he made it clear that he was going to go to war with the drug cartels.  And now we see who has been helping them ruin our country, all these radical leftist judges who are sympathetic to the destruction of our country.   Go through the musical libraries of couples like that one in New Mexico. You’ll find a lot of hippie music and progressive artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan, and they are probably in love with John Lennon’s communist song, “Imagine.”  These are not flag-waving Constitutional patriots.  These are hostile hippies now aged and abusing the power they were given as legal professionals to articulate their politics as senior citizens.  And whatever Judge Dugan thought she was doing by trying to sneak off an illegal immigrant in her courtroom through her private chambers only indicates how deep this problem has been for decades.  These judges have been trying to cripple America with soft on crime policies and to change the nature of the American people with open border policies written while pot smoking losers who now run public policy sit around and listen to that stupid John Lennon song, “Imagine.” 

Well, “Imagine this,” a world where lawbreakers go to jail.  And those in charge of judgeships are arrested for using their bench as a political weapon to undo law and order, rather than preserving it.  Finally, we have a Justice Department, an FBI, and a Homeland Security willing to do the job as needed.  And this is just the beginning.  So yes, we will be throwing more judges in jail and prosecuting the radicals regarding judicial review.  If they want to be relevant in co-equal branches of government, they better be willing to work as hard as Trump does to do a good job.  Up to this point, the people we have had in the White House had too many advisors, and they enjoyed the ceremonial aspects of the job too much, but they weren’t in love with the work.  These judges don’t work very much; they drink too much wine and listen to too much old hippie music, which corrupts their minds about the task.  And they aren’t going to stop Trump with weak political positions and a 9-to-noon daily work schedule.  The world isn’t going to slow down to the political sentiments of the Marxist left.  They will have to compete with capitalism, with value, and with laws that protect those values, rather than being an insurgent trying always to undermine them from their benches.  And regarding evidence, action is some of the best evidence of what people get caught doing.  And Judge Dugan was caught tampering with the arrest and deportation of an illegal immigrant.  But she’s not alone.  We need many of these people to clean up our system.  And it’s good to see that we finally have people willing to do the work.  One arrest at a time.  Put them all in jail.  And if we need bigger jails, let’s build them off the money we save by destroying the drug cartels!

The Roger Reynolds Story: Politcal Revenge is a target rich environment

I supported Roger Reynolds, the old Butler County Auditor, when it wasn’t cool to do so.  And I must remind everyone that the story initially broke when Fox 19 in Cincinnati, Ohio, was looking to do a hit piece against the Republican Party of Butler County that started the whole mess.  So don’t be so surprised that they carried Roger’s story about a bloody dispute with the very popular Sheriff Jones and State Attorney General David Yost.  I get where Roger is; he wants to clear his name of any wrongdoing.  He wants to be back in politics.  I get the hurt feelings.  Many people did terrible things to each other, and the abuse of power that was on display is embarrassing and gives politics a bad name.  When David Yost, with the help of Sheriff Jones, tried to put Roger in jail for an improper interest in a public contract, we all knew that there was a lot more going on, and Roger found himself outside of a political party looking to cut him out of it.  And I was there for Roger in the worst of that.  But he wants revenge; they almost put him in jail and cost him a fortune to defend himself in court.  But changing people for who they are just isn’t going to happen.  If you want to be in politics, then you have to beat your enemies in politics, and don’t turn toward the courts, which those in power control, to do your business.  Get back on the horse, ride it, and play politics the way the game is played. 

But as far as I’m concerned, this story ended when Roger was cleared of wrongdoing in the courts.  No political apparatus should be able to destroy other people with the court system, but we’ve seen several instances of that happening in Butler County over the last couple of years, and it wasn’t good on any measure.  But crying about its unfairness and hoping that public sentiment will restore your good fortune is not the way to solve these problems.  And spitting in the face of people who were most supportive of you along the way is a good way to make political enemies.  And by how things work, Roger Reynolds has made himself a political enemy to my way of thinking because of his actions in the wake of this mess, so he’s not doing himself any favors.  Regarding Butler County politics, from my perspective, if you get sideways with Nancy Nix, the new auditor, then I won’t have a lot of sympathy for you.  Nancy, I think, is what all politicians should aspire to be.  She’s a sincerely good person in a very cutthroat profession, and she manages to still be very good at her job.  And she is doing a great job in Butler County as she moved to fill in that auditor seat that Roger had to vacate due to the criminal prosecutions he had to endure.  Roger went immediately to try to get his old job back, which would have been damaging to Nancy Nix personally and the team she has built at the auditor’s office, to make Roger happy, and that’s not a good way to go about things.  And in the upcoming elections, Roger wants to either run against Nancy for his old job back, which puts him against the person who went to court for him in a supporting role and helped him get back on his feet during all this, and was a very loyal friend until he turned on her after these court proceedings.  Or he wants to run for Butler County Commissioner, which will put him against Michael Ryan, the person I have already endorsed, so that will make it so I have to campaign against Roger, which won’t be a good thing for anybody. 

But don’t think that the media of Fox 19 and Channel 5 with Karen Johnson are suddenly pro Roger Reynolds.  I was surprised they picked up his story where he did his article on what had happened to him.  I had done it before for him over the past couple of years and talked about who did what to whom.  But this was the mainstream media getting Roger’s story out from his own lips, which they caused to happen in the first place.  So they aren’t suddenly anybody’s friends.  They are the same malcontents that they always were.  But they see blood in the water of Butler County politics, and if they can use Roger to harm Sheriff Jones, or David Yost, they will undoubtedly do it, and they did during the first week of April of 2025.  I read Roger’s story about the political hit job against him, where he named names and got specific.  But to what end?  Sheriff Jones is getting up there in age and has been vulnerable, especially in this last election season, where he didn’t get a warm endorsement from the Central Committee, because of stories like this one.  He’s good with the immigration issue now that Trump is back in office, and I agree with him on many things.  But politically, if Roger wanted to be a tough guy, he’d go right for the horse and not turn on his once very good friend, Nancy Nix, for his political comeback. 

Then there is Attorney General David Yost.  He wants to run for Governor against Vivek Ramaswamy, the Trump-endorsed candidate.  Yost is very vulnerable to having his entire political career destroyed, especially after what he did to Roger.  If I wanted revenge by the game of politics, you attack where people most want to be, and that is where he should focus.  They are trying to get Roger back in the ring as opposition who wish to divide up whatever party unity has been built now that Trump has been re-elected.  He is only hurting himself by splitting the party into either supporting him over Nancy Nix, or attacking a good commissioner candidate, which would drain away votes for both of them, opening the door for a third-party Christian conservative to win with their typical 35 to 40%.  Meanwhile, these liberal media hacks, like Karen Johnson and Fox 19 in general, get what they want: a damaged Republican Party.  So that’s why I didn’t pick up the phone immediately when Roger called with his story.  I wasn’t ignoring him.  I like him still.  I’ve even met with him a few times to see if there was a way I could help him out.  But once he got sideways with Nancy Nix, that’s the line for me.  And that’s a shame, because if he wants to get tough in politics, we are dealing with a target-rich environment.  And if you wish to take revenge, there are many political ways to get it.  But we all know how politics works, you have to build teams.  You don’t destroy them.  And the media coverage of his story wasn’t for his benefit.  It was to harm the Republican Party using him as the vehicle to do it.  And if you don’t love the Party for what it can do for people, then why do anything?  And why destroy friendships that were very real?  Nancy Nix could only harm herself by going to court to support Roger during all this.  But she did it because she’s the real deal and didn’t want to see something terrible happen to her friend.  And that friend turned against her because he didn’t want to go after the bigger fish that brought him harm in the first place, which does not come out well in a primary consideration, that could become bloody for no good reason.  In these kinds of things, you have to fight the right fight, not the one that you think is easiest, and turning on friends isn’t very enduring.
