The Mansions of Fairfax County: Understanding just how worthless the CIA is

Like most things surrounding Trump’s election and occupation of Washington, D.C., I like the government much more than I did prior, especially regarding the CIA, where Trump’s appointee for Director of the Central Intelligence Agency was sworn in on January 23, 2025, John Ratcliffe.  I still think the CIA is a ridiculous organization of unpatriotic losers who cause trouble in the world, lie to the American people without accountability too often, and blame their habit on “national security.”  However, I think Trump has a better handle on them than any other president, so as I did all around Washington D.C., my wife and I spent a lot of time checking out the CIA from the employees’ perspective.  I wanted to live where they lived and shop where they shopped; I tried to eat where they ate and see the world through their eyes as much as possible.  In general, because it always comes up regarding politics, I wanted to understand the politics of Fairfax County, where the CIA is located, and understand what being the wealthiest county in the United States looked like. Loudoun County just to the northwest of Fairfax, is the richest, but we wanted to be as close to the CIA headquarters in Langley as possible so my wife and I camped our RV at Fairfax Lake for over a week and used that as our base of operations for exploring Washington D.C., since it was so close by from that location.  These affluent areas are not from mass productivity and a diversity of economic output.  It comes from employees with high-paying but otherwise useless government jobs, especially at Langley and the Pentagon just down the road.  I can’t say enough about the benefits of RV camping to investigate areas like this, where you have all your stuff and resources, and can get far enough away from the topic to gain an objective opinion.

Every day, we would take the Washington Memorial Parkway into the city, so we got to see a lot of how Fairfax County lived from our base camp, essentially at Tyson’s Corner.  We shopped at that Walmart for our stay, visiting there several times, which I enjoyed as it was the first one in a skyscraper I had ever been to.  Walmarts are generally prominent places with big parking lots outside of cities.  So we expected a Tyson’s Corner Walmart to be one of the biggest and wealthiest stores in the country.  But this one was smashed into the first floor of a high rise, and all the parking was in a parking garage, so it was different.  I enjoyed going there to get our groceries, which prevented us from wasting a lot of time eating out during our stay, which is a giant time killer.  You don’t get to do nearly as much when you waste time on necessities like food.  On road trips, which we do frequently all over the country, we usually eat in the morning at our RV, in the comfort of our own space, and then again once we return to the camper that night.  Everything is much more comfortable than a hotel room, and it’s incredible how much you can get done when you decouple from excess human interaction.  But to feed that, you need access to a good grocery, so the Walmart at Tyson’s Corner took care of all our needs and gave us a nice window into the kind of people who lived there.  We were camped as close to the CIA headquarters as anybody could get, and I could begin to see what daily life was like for those employees. 

And let’s say I have never seen so many mansions in all my life, anywhere in the world.  The drive to Washington, D.C., from our campsite was under 20 miles, and it didn’t take long to go back and forth.  But if I had to compare it to a region, such as Indian Hill in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is the wealthiest area in that location, the mansions in Fairfax County went on for dozens of miles consistently, whereas Indian Hill is only a few miles with some hodge podge real estate here and there that was less than optimal.  In Fairfax County, the people were swimming in loot and had a skewed impression of life and the government’s role.  They were being paid a lot of money to be part of a big machine with questionable value.  You could see how much people would have been threatened by the proposal of President Trump and used the power of government to protect their jobs in the Deep State because they weren’t going to replace their careers with a private sector one of equal value because they were being paid way too much to do way too little.  Driving down their streets and seeing how they lived in very opulent settings, all that government power would and had gone to their head.  However, the area was also much smaller and less scary once you could see everything from a reasonable perspective.  I measured such things, for instance, by traveling from the Breitbart Embassy, where Steve Bannon and the gang do the WarRoom podcast, and driving back to our campsite, going right by the Pentagon and the CIA headquarters, and suddenly, some of the biggest influences of the world are put in perspective relative to each other. 

Yes, the Deep State was real.  But it comprised of people in big government jobs who had created a fourth Branch of government to protect their high incomes.  Not to take over the world so much.   But to maintain an illusion given to them by being brokers of the broken world of too much government power funded by looted tax money and not actual industrial enterprise. Prominent celebrities and ostentatious personalities did not own most of the mansions I saw in Fairfax County, as you might find in Beverly Hills—or even people you see reporting on the government with news coverage on television.  No, there were way too many mansions for that.  Most of the occupants were high-level employees at the CIA and Pentagon who were making a lot of money brokering in national security, and they were able to hide their worthless jobs behind a need for “national security.”  Whenever taxpayers questioned their worth, they would release another UFO story so that our fear of an alien attack would keep us from pulling support for the CIA, which was getting most of its money from black budgets without congressional oversight because of the need for “national security.”  However, they shop at Walmart just like everyone else, hoping nobody notices that what they do isn’t all that important.  And America could do wonderfully without them.  That was my perspective from our campsite and our RV, considering many hours of contemplation from our experiences.  It was a town built on looted money, and a branch of shadow government had formed to protect the illusion of value they were hiding from even themselves.  But the truth is all those government jobs could go away tomorrow, and the people throughout the rest of the country wouldn’t even notice.  So, to pave the way for their continued illusion, they spend their confiscated wealth on lavish furnishings and residences, hoping that reality never comes knocking on their door to tell them just how worthless they are.  Which is why they hate and despise the President and his supporters.

‘Serpent in Eden’: Whats really behind all the foreign meddling and partisan politics

I read a great book while on my recent trip to Washington D.C.  It wasn’t a book specific to Washington politics and history, and it is generally available by Tyson Reeder called Serpent in Eden.  I found it at Mt. Vernon, Washington’s home, and it seemed like something I’d be interested in since it dealt with foreign meddling and partisan politics in James Madison’s America, a kind of not much talked-about period between the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.  A lot of political activity during this period got lost in the various wars that essentially shaped America as a new nation that is worth discussing.  I think people assume that they know American history if they know the basics of the Revolutionary War, that the Constitution was signed soon thereafter, and that George Washington was the first president.  But that really doesn’t begin to cover it all.  The Serpent in Eden is a really remarkable, tightly packed book with a lot of detail and would take a general understanding of history before really absorbing it.  It views the world through the eyes of James Madison, the tiny man but brilliant mind who shaped the Constitution and served as the fourth president of the United States.  But he was writing the Constitution as America was trying to figure itself out, and Washington was trying to preside over everything as a country was trying to start from scratch on an idea of individual liberty, which was a completely foreign concept at that time.  In many ways, it is because of one straightforward term: “We the People.”  The world didn’t understand what that meant, so they didn’t have much respect for the new country.  They did respect George Washington, but they didn’t understand the idea of willfully giving up power and returning to the farm after service to the people was completed. 

To understand the problem we have today with foreign meddling, which George Soros would be a good example, and just one of many, this particular period at the start of the country is an interesting story.  Because America had its original 13 colonies that it was trying to make a country out of, but there were still French holdings along the Mississippi River, Spanish in Florida, and England smarting from their Revolutionary loss and plotting to retake its colonies once a few years wore down the rebels hanging out in Canada, where the French were still hostile and had alliances with the many Indian tribes.  All those forces were plotting and scheming to use America to leverage their enemies, specifically the French against the English, and all early politics centered around these factions of Anti-Federalists, who became Republicans against Federalists, the early version of the big government advocates.  The trick was how to have a big enough government to deal with all these hostile countries that weren’t too big to suppress the will of the people it was supposed to serve.  The English and French thought such a concept was hilarious, so they posed a constant threat by looming in the background attempting to tamper with elections to swing policy in a direction of their liking.  There are a lot of lessons in the truly remarkable story of how America survived all this tampering to win the War of 1812 with Madison in the White House and having to escape before the British burnt it from the inside out.  It was a tight walk on a razor’s edge to build the kind of government we see today, and given the ambitions of globalism and not wanting America to exist at all, you can understand the real problems of our day by seeing how people saw things from the very beginning.

I was in the right mood to read Tyson’s new book, as it had just recently come out.  It was available at all the leading book outlets, but Mt. Vernon has a wonderful gift shop, as you would expect, and it was the kind of book you could get as a souvenir that captured the area and circumstances of America’s birth.  I was at Mt. Vernon trying to see the start of the country the way that George Washington would have seen it.  Not the way that historians with a very shallow grasp of history would have.  These were real problems that reside in the hands of our current Supreme Court as they try to keep our country as close to that razor’s edge as possible.  But it’s hard on a good day because America was never respected, and it still isn’t today.  What is respected is our version of capitalism, which produced a lot of wealth, and people around the world wanted a piece of that wealth.  But our system of government for the people was never understood.  Because nations were built around the concept of sovereignty, such as Napoleon Bonapart, who was Emperor of France, he could speak as a representative of the whole French people.  Or King George in England.  If George Washington was going to give power back after two terms in office, then who represented the government?  These fighting politicians in Adams, Hamilton, Jefferson, Madison, and others?  So, of course, in the chaos of all that political contemplation, the nations of the world plotted our demise, as they still do because they don’t understand how a government can serve the people rather than the people serving the government as one people who then dealt with the world.  It was not an easy idea to flush out.

So, the Serpent in the book is all these foreign whispers trying to steer America in a direction beneficial to them, just as the serpent tempted Eve to eat from the apple.  So, too, is the business of foreign lobbying, which is a big problem today and is at the heart of the tariff war Trump puts forth.  But there’s a secret in the background of all that, which really emerged from this period with Madison and the War of 1812.  And the Louisiana Purchase and Westward expansion in general.  The world does not know what to do with free people, who a regional monarch or emperor can’t control.  It hadn’t ever been done in the world, and it’s still perplexing to all nations.  And their only defense against it isn’t armies, but in political narrative.  They had infiltrated both political parties in America. As a result, essentially leaving “We the People” without any accurate representation, violating the Constitutional merits Madison and others worked so hard to perfect and for our Supreme Court to hold so tightly to the vest, as a matter of principle.  The defense against the various serpents in our political system of foreign meddling and influence was that the American concept was too big to alter.  That’s how Jefferson ended up with the Louisiana Purchase.  Napoleon never thought America would survive long enough to do anything with the land, so he thought it was a safe bet.  But he lost power before America fell.  The English were trying to push everyone into decline and never thought a country without a military could win a war against them, but Andrew Jackson ruined all their days, and the Spanish too.  All the hostile elements, including the conspiring Indians, were betting on America to fail, but it survived anyway.  Because the brilliance of the Constitution made us too big as a country to fall into such minor grabs of power.  The idea was more significant than the military plots of conspiring nations, which makes us more important than other nations.  Our ideas for personal freedom are more lofty than any other government on the face of the earth or in human history.  It is extraordinary and a big step for the human race.  And it was a real work of a miracle coming from human minds during a very tumultuous time.

The Hidden Menace Behind 16th Street: Marxist radicals behind labor unions

First, let me explain what is wrong with labor unions. They allow bad employees to hide behind good employees, and as a collective practice, they water down effectiveness. They view as work the entire enterprise of labor as being for the worker, not the work being done.  And it has been a disastrous experiment from the mind of Marxist thinkers.  I know in this new big tent MAGA movement that lots of union workers crossed over and voted for President Trump, so debate about labor unions is on the back burner these days, and Right To Work legislation in the states is less of a topic, even though its still a big deal for employers, because business enterprises don’t want to be stuck taking all the risks only to have a radical Marxist enterprise of low performing workers take control of labor management with a bunch of dumb, ineffective rules.  For Ohio to be a proper pro-business state, employers will need the assurance of a Right to Work state like Indiana has just to the west.  Otherwise, it’s not an apples-to-apples offering.  From my point of view, I don’t see anything good about labor unions.  They are the heart of the problem of school funding and have been a disaster since they were introduced in the middle of the 19th century, right along with Marxism.  The two things are tied together and have been horrible for the world.  So, with all that in mind, I wondered about the Black Lives Matters plaza painting on the ground on 16th Street in front of the White House before President Trump had it removed this past week.  I wanted to see it before it was gone forever, and what I found there was even worse than I had imagined.  The root cause of the problems was, of course, labor unions. 

During the hostile 2020 election year with all the Covid lockdowns and radical Soros backed color revolutions that were trying to burn down the church at the end of 16th Street, and vandalize Lafayette Square while the FBI, CIA, and many fourth branch of government Deep Staters plotted the destruction of the people’s pick for President, Trump, lunatics from the known Marxist group Black Lives Matters painted their logo on the street in giant letters to let the White House know that the aggressors of political destruction was on the doorstep of the White House.  All this activity was evident from inside the White House, and it was meant to intimidate Trump and his supporters into bowing down to a proposed fight that was highly aggressive.  Later, I learned that this was not just a painted road but that the letters “Black Lives Matter” were actually embedded into the blocks of the street itself, so just painting over it wouldn’t get rid of the message.  We also later learned that the taxpayers were on the hook for the vandalism that cost over 8 million dollars and was personally endorsed by the mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser.  The painting was an intended message of aggression attempting to hide actual terrorism behind some guilt-driven sentiment left over from the years of slavery, which were always a Democrat issue.  Republicans freed the enslaved people and do not harbor guilt in maintaining the institution.  One of the most excellent Republicans in the history of politics was Frederick Douglass, who was very well-known during President Grant’s reconstruction period after the Civil War, a very prominent person of color and proud Republican member of history’s politics.  Democrats have tried to capture the issue over the next hundred years to attempt to erase their guilt from it, creating many of the modern tensions we see today.

Republicans have learned a lot from the experience and are pushing back, led by President Trump.  As my wife and I visited the city recently, it is being cleaned up everywhere.  Trump has set a high bar that should have always been in place, and other Republicans, such as Representative Andrew Clyde, are pushing to withhold federal transportation funds unless Bowser gets rid of the Black Lives Matter painting and renames the plaza “Liberty Plaza.”  So, a lot is going on that I wanted to see for myself, and upon arriving, a clarity that had not been explained in the news reports became very clear.  Because all through this, my thoughts were, “What do these businesses in the area think about this stupid, Marxist painting?  I wouldn’t want to look out my windows down onto the street and see such a think with crazy radicals looming from the shadows to take over the city on a moment’s notice essentially.”  And that’s when I saw that there on 16th street were many of the big unions, the Labor’s International Union, the AFL-CIO union, and the Motion Picture’s Association of America.  These are all radical Marxist groups and the reason we haven’t heard about them is because many of the people who are in the news reporting industry belong to an entertainment union of some kind, especially the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, (AFTRA) which is part of SAG, (the Screen Actors Guild), so they can’t be too critical of labor union activity.  This allows these horrendously radical progressive groups- and when we say “progressive,” we mean “communist” in their sentiments to cause trouble in the background without recourse.  Now we know why nobody talked about the kind of businesses that allowed for that painting to be painted on the street in the first place. 

The real fight, clearly on display on 16th Street looming over the President’s house, that we put our representatives into, is that massive international unions are fighting for power and are proclaiming that they are in charge.  They used the George Floyd issue to blow into the Marxist minds of the fans to hide violence and intimidation behind a race war; they were trying to get Trump out of office and to remove any influence that voters had over the city of Washington, D.C.  The unions were in charge, and they let everyone know about it.  But the key to fighting them is not confronting them directly, as we have in the past.  Labor unions consume a considerable amount of tax money to exist.  So the way to beat them, which is why President Trump has not worried about them too much and even appeals to their members, is to take away their power, which is fed by confiscated taxpayer money.  That’s ultimately what got Muriel Bowser’s attention, pulling away her federal funds for sponsoring acts of terrorism disguised as race concerns.  Democrats caused race concerns in the first place.  That painting has been like a planted flag in front of our house for years and is only now being removed.  But before it was, I had to see it for myself, so my wife and I visited it a few days before the road crews came in and ripped it out of the ground.  But those labor unions are still hiding behind the public noise, waiting for another chance to strike.  They are the fuel in the background that stirs up these terrorist acts, just as they are all over the world.  And are the root cause of most of our problems of domestic terrorism in American society.  And to deal with them, we must remove their funding so they have nothing to work with.  Because the longer they exist, they will always be causing trouble toward America’s destruction, which is their objective.  They will never be our friends; as a general rule, they should be illegal in every form they present themselves in.

George Lang Tried to Tell Them: Woke politics is why Lakota is losing money

To answer the question that was asked at the March 12th special meeting of the Lakota school board, why were they losing around 9 million dollars out of their quarter of a billion dollar budget to Ed Choice vouchers and could they sue the state for money they assumed was guaranteed to them, a little fog has to be removed from the subject.  I was in Columbus for Governor DeWine’s State of the State speech, and there were education protesters in the rotunda making a lot of noise and looking horrible doing it.  Legislators were working on the new budget, and the fear was that public schools would lose money, which is the trend across the country.  Now, I warned everyone this day was coming, that Jimmy Carter’s Department of Education would be dismantled, and education funding would be built in a more competitive direction.  What we have been doing has not been working.  People worried about the future should be happy that Vivek Ramaswamy, who will be the next governor of Ohio, wants to pay teachers more.  He is a lot nicer on the issue than I am.  And for that matter, my personal friend Senator George Lang is too.  They believe that public education can be saved in some way, whereas I do not.  I think institutional learning is beyond help, but that’s why there are debates in government and education. Employees should at least be happy that Vivek and Lang are of like mind and want to preserve public education somehow.  Yet the protesters at the Statehouse were not the kind of people that made you want to dig deep into your pockets and give them more money.  They all looked pretty ragged and as though they needed to skip a few meals.  They sounded like entitled losers demanding more money in the budget from Ohio taxpayers who have not been given a good product that makes society better. 

So I was outside the Representative’s Chamber talking to several of our area politicians of Butler County and they were asking me if I was going to the emergency Lakota meeting where the plan was for them to join the Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding lawsuit against the state because Lakota was losing funding due to parents choosing to use the voucher programs already in place to give education options to their children.  When they asked me, I was already thinking about it; my phone had been lighting up for the previous 24 hours from people asking me to go because it was an emergency.  Lakota was already trying to build the foundations for a tax increase to pay for a facility project they were planning to vote for soon, for many millions of dollars for what was turning out to be a pretty crappy product.  And the kind of people who plan to work against that tax increase wanted me to see for myself just how ridiculous Lakota schools had become.  I was reluctant; I have not paid much attention to Lakota schools since they ran off just the latest conservative school board member the previous year.  I have worked to give Lakota a school board of reasonable people to deal with the coming education challenges, and their reaction was more radicalism like the idiots I saw in the rotunda, so I wasn’t too keen on the idea.  I was talking to Representative Jennifer Gross and Thomas Hall, among other people who were equally concerned about the invite they had to join in this special meeting.  And as we discussed in Columbus, my comment was that it was a hit job by the school board to set up our representatives so they could have an excuse to blame them for why they had to join the lawsuit.  I will credit them: Senator George Lang, Representative Thomas Hall, and Representative Jennifer Gross all attended the meeting by phone because they were either still in Columbus or, in George’s case, out of the state.  But they lent their voices in surprisingly effective ways.  I decided to return from Columbus and attend the meeting in person because it seemed like a good chance to see the new school board and administrators.  After all the mess over the former superintendent, Matt Miller and a purge of personnel since then my attitude toward public funding of schools was that Trump was going to be re-elected, he was going to dismantled the Department of Education and all education issues were going back to the states where people like Vivek Ramaswamy was going to have to figure out how to compete against other states.  The teacher’s union-run public education system was a thing of the past.  I tried to warn everyone, but they didn’t listen. 

And I was right about the meeting.  Our area representatives did a nice job providing comments about whether or not school vouchers were here to stay in public education or whether it was a fad that would fade away.  After the remarks were given, the school board did what they went there to do: they voted to join the lawsuit to get money from taxpayers they had not earned.  It’s the case that will lose in court a few years down the road because people can’t be compelled to purchase a bad product, and public education has shown itself to be deficient in every way it is measured.  The school board’s plan was to blame the politicians who had not secured funding for their bottomless pit approach to school budgets.  However, the representatives did so well that it wasn’t easy to blame them for the existence of school vouchers such as the Ed Choice program. 

George Lang told them that the cause of parents wanting to leave Lakota schools through a voucher was the fault of the school itself for accepting woke politics that those parents didn’t want their kids exposed to.  It was a blunt statement, but it was given with as much love as could be provided in that circumstance.  And the large audience attending, representing the teacher’s union mentality, the same kind of people protesting at the Statehouse rotunda earlier that day laughed and heckled George with boisterous sentiment.  As Doug Horton wanted to put on a show to fight George, as did another school board member and the new superintendent, the comment was the truth behind the matter.  Increasingly, Lakota schools would have to compete for every kid enrolled there, and their funding approach was dependent on their ability to be an education destination instead of funding attached to the zip code.  And the bottom line was that people who wanted to take their kids out of Lakota schools and drive them across town to another school was because more and more parents didn’t want to share space or time with the kind of people who were giggling at George Lang.  We just watched that same school board run off Darbi Bobby, the previous school board member representing a percentage of the Lakota population.  And she was just the recent.  This has been the practice of Lakota’s school board, to control the message by eliminating dissenting opinions because the system isn’t designed to deal with actual management.  And if only 4 to 12% of the total Lakota population found they didn’t want to deal with transgender politics, or essentially the Democrat party platform which comes with just about all public education enterprises, then given a choice, which is only going to expand under President Trump and future governor Vivek Ramaswamy, parents would take their kids out of Lakota so not to deal with people like Doug Horton and the rest of the school board.  Their desire to fight George Lang over the truth that he tried to give them, bluntly, was the same thing driving away the dollars they thought they were entitled to have in the form of a budget.  Just a preview of that court case: the courts will not favor these collective schools joined under the Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding lawsuit because you can’t compel people, such as taxpayers, to buy a bad product.  And public education has become a lousy product over time with gross mismanagement everywhere.  We also saw examples of bad management at that Lakota school board meeting with clueless people and their very liberal politics.  Parents don’t want to share space with people who don’t share their values, and they are picking up and moving to other options because of woke politics.  The blame for that falls on the people who dug in and retained that system, which never worked—and instead insisted on throwing more money at a failed approach.  Rather than looking in the mirror and taking responsibility for the issue, they tried to blame everyone else for why they were being rejected under a competitive approach.  And that of course, won’t solve the school funding problem.  You can’t pave over the problem with more money.  You have to actually solve the problem, which are the people in public education themselves.  Parents want to reject having to deal with people who don’t share their values.  And if Lakota wants to survive into the future, it is going to have to make itself more competitive in attracting dollars, like everyone else in the world has to.

We have a great senator in Ohio

If you listen to the school board meeting from March 12, 2025, included here, you will hear the audience get into an uproar whenever George Lang spoke, as he became the target of the teacher union types due to his opening statements about wokeness in Lakota schools.  George was speaking his opinion on the matter, and those people in the audience, and some of the school board members themselves, fed into that communication.  So for Doug Horton and the rest of the mystified cast of characters at Lakota schools, that is your answer as to why parents are looking for School Choice options.  Think of the soccer mom who voted for Trump at a Friday night football game. Or a Republican is at an art show for their child at school, and they are interacting with these liberal radicals advocating for transgender bathrooms. Do you think they want to be made fun of like that audience did to George Lang?  Senator Lang is a professional who is used to that kind of thing and likes it. But does the average family attending schools at Lakota want to deal with people like this?  Of course not.  Do they want to fight with people like that?  They saw what they did, including that school board, to Darbi Boddy and other conservative school board members from the past.  Rather than fight those people, they look for a school voucher and take their kid to a school they think is nicer and better for them and their children.  That is why people are fleeing the Lakota district, and George was trying very nicely to tell the Lakota school board that to survive in the future, they need to make it so people want to attend Lakota.  But not that people who have different ideas about things are going to be beat over the head with Democrat politics and that they have to take it because there are no other education options.  Parents want options and don’t want to deal with political radicals who do not share their fundamental social values.  That’s why Lakota lost that 9 million dollars out of their budget and why they are projected to lose a lot more than that.  It’s because they have mismanaged the district with the assumption that the children were theirs and not managed by the parents who want the best opportunity for their children.  And by choice, parents have reasoned that Lakota is not it for them.  It’s Lakota’s job to convince them otherwise. Not to sue for money they did not earn. 

The trend of today, with D.O.G.E. and the massive cuts to the Department of Education, and the election of Trump and others to office positions, George Lang included, as well as the future of Vivek Ramaswamy, are because the employees of government, such as Lakota schools, failed.  Protesting against voters’ choices will not solve the problem of how people came to feel the way they did.  Government employees, including school teachers and administrators, did not provide a good product, and people have come to admit that their service was not worth the money.  That is the environment in which Lakota schools and many other school districts find themselves.  And it won’t get better for them.  They thought that the politics of guilt would last forever and the entire levy structure of using children to acquire more tax revenue to feed greedy, liberal unions would always continue.  But the truth is, as we know it today, public education is a thing of the past, and it’s never coming back.  People, if given a choice, will not choose to spend their time around people who are hostile to them.  The way these radicals shut down opposition at school board meetings in general is why the Trump administration is opening up School Choice options and sending their management back to the states.  The radicals had five decades to figure it out, and what they gave us is embarrassing at best and certainly not worth the money we’ve spent on it.  So, who is to blame?  Attend a school board meeting and witness the quality of the people screaming for more money, and the answer will quickly become apparent.  The current school structure, where money is attached to a zip code rather than the child, is like the Berlin Wall trying to kill people attempting to escape to the West.  The mentality is the same, and the more the teachers’ unions dig in, the more people want to be as far away from them as possible.  And the people they vote for in office are those who will give them options away from those radical government employees.

Trump is Pardoning Pete Rose: Rewarding risk takers in our society is part of Making America Great Again

Making America Great Again is about more than President Trump waving a magic wand and suddenly making everything better.  It’s about an attitude and how Americans should feel about themselves that matters most, and breaking this terrible spell given to the world through the administrative state through woke policy making.  To that point, there has been a very silent killer lurking in the background of all our lives that has been looming over the fine line between success and failure, and that is the management of risk and rewards in a society and understanding how important those things are to a healthy culture.  So, for me, especially living in Cincinnati, I was not surprised by President Trump’s statements about Pete Rose and how he planned to pardon him ahead of the 2025 baseball season.  Pete Rose died in the fall of 2024, just ahead of the Trump election, ending a long battle with Major League Baseball, who had banned him for life for breaking a few laws the commissioners thought were important.  Rose had been caught betting on baseball games and had some tax problems with the IRS. The combination of those things effectively pushed out of the game the most popular player, and certainly one of the best, the hit king, out of the MLB and out of the Hall of Fame.  But the problem is, if Rose wasn’t in the Hall of Fame, then who should be?  Over the last forty years, it has been argued that banning Rose from the Hall of Fame of baseball cheapened it for everyone because if the best players weren’t there, why even have it?  Of course, there is more to the story, which is why Trump is getting involved.

Pete Rose isn’t the only sports figure to have something like this happen to them.  One of my favorite all time coaches for the NFL was Jon Gruden, who was kicked out of the NFL because some leaked emails about him talking disparagingly about the commissioner and other people got out to the public and with the new woke rules that administrative minded people everywhere thought would protect them from critical analysis, the NFL and my favorite football team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took Gruden down off the Ring of Honor at Raymond James Stadium and the world was looking pretty grim.  Only this past week, at the start of March 2025, did the Buccaneers start to rethink things and put Gruden’s name back up.  I personally like the Glazers; they run a good football organization.  You can find head coaches and position coaches all over the NFL who got their start in Tampa Bay because they have a winning culture.  But they have been anti-Trump and pro-Joe Biden much like the Murdoch family at Fox News has been, and they thought they understood where the world was going when they jumped all over the commissioner’s desires to remove Gruden from the NFL as punishment for violating unsaid woke rules limiting free speech dramatically.  The same traits that made Jon Gruden a great coach, full of risk-taking and passion, were also the same kind of thing that was harming him off the football field among polite society where the incompetent were protected from critical judgments by unsaid rules of conduct that protected Roger Goodell from opposing opinions.  Gruden had called the commissioner a homosexual reference, and Goodell didn’t like it, so he used woke rules to punish the Superbowl-winning coach, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers followed like cowardly sheep, licking the boots of a corrupt shepherd. 

This is nearly identical to what happened to Pete Rose, the hit king of MLB Baseball.  It takes a unique mindset to be a great player like Rose, to take the kind of risks he did to stand in front of a crowd and hit a ball the pitcher is trying to keep you from making contact with.  Or stealing a base under pressure to score a run and diving into third base headfirst, as Pete Rose did, often obtaining the nickname, Charlie Hustle.  Pete Rose was rewarded for his risk-taking antics in sports, which is how people with such personalities are usually rewarded.  Fans love people like that in sports. It’s one of the best parts of cheering on a sports franchise because most audience members don’t have the guts to take big risks like we see in sports themselves.  So they enjoy watching sports heroes do it.  In the MLB, Pete Rose was getting old and was a manager of several teams, and he was fading, and it was hard for him not to be a player all the time.  So he transferred that energy into gambling, and he bet on himself when he did place bets.  It was a way for him to keep his player instincts alive and be an aggressive manager of his teams.  But that set up a revenge tour for the jealous administrators who had been watching Rose for years and looking for an opportunity to knock him down to size once his name was no longer filling the stands with fans.  So they used an early version of the woke rules to destroy Rose and throw away the key as a message to other players about who the King of Baseball was.

It was a mystery to many why commissioners like Bart Giamatti, Fay Vincent, Bud Selig, and Rob Manfred were so against Pete Rose when other players did far worse over their careers.  It all comes down to capitalism essentially and the goals of an administrative state to use Marxism to limit competitive enterprise.  Pete Rose had all the hot women, fame, and fortune and was celebrated wherever he went.  And administrators like the old and crusty Bart Giamatti could write and enforce rules to show that he has power over such characters which to his mind might bleed off some of that power and influence and get people to lick his boots the way many in a position like his hope for.  They hate people like Pete Rose and Jon Gruden, and I would even put Warren Sapp in there for good measure because of their risk-taking attitudes, which administrators like those mentioned commissioners don’t have.  How do you get the hot chicks to like you if you are afraid of risk?  Show them you have power over the people they like more, so that they’ll like you.  Administrative types adhere to rules to hide their timid natures and their lack of personal courage from the world.  So, they used the rules to destroy Pete Rose because they were jealous of him.  That is one prominent example of why regulations made by an administrative state have been, and are, so dangerous to society, even if we are talking about sports.  That same attitude could be said to be holding back significant industries in America right now, and Trump sees it from the front of the train.  And one way to break that spell is to reward Rose, even if he isn’t around anymore to see it.  Because the world sees it, we want to reward our risk takers in American society.  Even if it is just a baseball game, or stealing a base for just one game of the season that took a lot of guts and pain to attempt, risk takers are the key to Making America Great Again and taking away the power of the administrative state that might regulate them out of existence is a key part to our future success.  And now that times are changing, because we have another big risk taker in the White House that understands these things, worthless administrators who are timid of personal risk are losing power, and people who are good at risk, even addicted to it, are regaining respect.  This is the key to the future of our nation and a great sign of many good things to come.

Steve Hilton For Governor of California: With Trump, state competition is the key to Making America Great Again

It’s not just Vivek Ramaswamy, or Byron Donalds who are Trump endorsed candidates running for governor of their respective states in 2026, but I learned at Vivek’s West Chester event from Vivek himself that the Fox News personality Steve Hilton was also planning to run for governor of California once Gavin Newsom terms out after this current term.  Steve Hilton is best known for his show, The Next Generation, which he had on the 9 PM time slot on Sunday nights and was popular; it ran from 2017 to 2023.  But I hadn’t heard what Steve was doing since then, other than showing up here and there as a guest on various shows.  He’s a very positive person and is part of the next generation of political commentators that I have been talking about lately, and that is certainly the case here.  Once Vivek arrived at CTL Aerospace to speak about his announcement to run for governor, I learned that Steve Hilton was flying out from California to speak for two minutes to give Vivek Ramaswamy a warm announcement.   I realized that a very positive pattern was emerging, leading straight out of the Trump White House.  Trump was building a brand in politics that would carry others to succeed him, and once he put his name on that person, the Trump machine would get behind that person and take them to victory.  Steve Hilton has become good friends with Vivek Ramaswamy, and now that Vivek has put his hat in the ring, Steve told us all at that West Chester event that he was planning to do the same in California, which provoked a long conversation with me backstage after he concluded his speech for Vivek. 

If you haven’t noticed Fox News lately, even they can’t ignore the world trend that eluded them for the previous decade as they wanted to turn more to the center and not be known as a right-winged network once Roger Ailes died.  The Rupert Murdoch kids are not conservative at all, and the wives of the boys wanted to take the station toward New York high society politics rather than conservative populism that was put forth by personalities like Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, and Tucker Carlson, and it hurt them.  Then, their position against President Trump was outrageously radicalized.  Again, when discussing left/right politics, the “left” represents Karl Marx’s ideas.  The “right” represents capitalism.  So, being called one or the other is a more profound indication on the political scale of right and wrong, and Fox News was trying to move to the “left” while Roger Ailes had built the network toward the right.  It was not something Rupert Murdoch was politically inclined to, but it was popular, so he went with it as long as the channel made money.  But the kids don’t care so much about making money; they were more concerned with social status, so they made a bad business decision, parted ways with top talent at Fox News, and drove a wedge with Trump himself that they thought they could survive.  They falsely believed that they were the news, not that they reflected their audience, a common mistake everyone is learning from now that Trump is back in the White House.  Woke is out, and common sense is back in.  Even in NFL football, my favorite team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, have reinstated their old coach, Jon Gruden, back into their Ring of Honor.  They took him down after a fake scandal was invented to drive him out of football over leaked emails Gruden had written.  The whole premise was that Gruden could be kicked out of the NFL just for thinking and saying something, and that trend has gone the other way, leaving the Buccaneers under this Trump administration to get with the program and to reinstate Gruden to their Ring of Honor. 

That’s kind of what has happened with Fox News, many of the people who were frequently on Fox News are now in Trump’s cabinet and are doing very well, and it has been good for Fox as a business and they are having to make decisions to step away from their commitment to left winged politics.  The Trump family was pushed away from the network before the election, but now they can’t get enough of Trump, leaving Lara Trump to have her own show on the weekends like Steve Hilton did.  So Steve, always an upbeat personality, talked to me about all this as Vivek was speaking in West Chester, and we talked about this trend, the kind of people Trump was building to extend his government beyond the reach of any critics and to destroy conventional politics on its face.  And specifically with California, everyone thought that Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to be a good Republican governor, but he turned out to be a RINO loser who could never stand up to the unions and ended up disgraced.  And at that point, California turned radical left and is currently miserable.  A prime time for someone like Steve Hilton to run and win the state and bring the fifth largest economy in the world back to sensibility.  Trump had a plan to make America Great Again, and that started by decentralizing the presidency and moving things back to the states where his hand-picked people would be running those states two years into this current administration, and through state competition, Trump was going to change the political landscape forever.

Remember when NBC tried to replace Trump on The Apprentice with Schwarzenegger because they thought the whole success of that show was a tough guy telling people they were fired?  Well, Schwarzenegger bombed, just as he did as governor because he was an actor, not a leader.  Trump is a battle-hardened leader who learned how to be successful in show business.  And these picks for governor positions are similar; they were privately successful but have learned to master the media to convey authentic leadership.  And Steve Hilton could do what Schwarzenegger or Gavin Newsom could never do in California.  Those personalities knew how to manipulate an audience behind the camera but were paralyzed regarding real-world activities.  And Democrats don’t have any other personality that can step forward and explain the massive failures that the people of California have suffered under Gavin Newsom.  So, another endorsement of Steve Hilton by Trump could easily carry him into a win there, too.  The world is changing for the better, and as I told Steve, you can see a pattern emerging that he is undoubtedly a part of.  And he would be great in California.  Like Vivek Ramaswamy, Steve Hilton is an excellent public speaker who can convey a message.  But more than that, he understands how to identify problems, which he always did on his Fox show.  And like many of the successful personalities on Fox, they need a chance to show their stuff on a political stage.  So, California won’t be left behind in all the fun regarding governor races in 2026.  I think it’s excellent, and the radical political left of Karl Marx won’t have a way to deal with it.  Trump endorsements are a new brand in politics that Democrats have no plan for, especially in states they have ruined, like California.  Once he announces, Steve Hilton is poised to win there in a big way.

Steve Bannon Pleads Guilty to Fraud: Why people like outlaws, but not criminals

It can get pretty murky whenever money is involved as to the final outcome, which to me was the case with Steve Bannon, the popular WarRoom podcaster and former strategic advisor to President Trump.  He recently pleaded guilty to defrauding investors on a private effort to fund the southern border wall in the U.S.  The hitching point for prosecutors was that the investors believed that 100% of the money was to go to construct the wall, so if some of that money goes to buying a pack of gum for instance, or some administrative cost such as buying paper for a copier, then that could and would be considered fraudulent behavior and a political enemy could then use that technicality to call the behavior fraudulent.  It can get pretty wild and scary with all the emails that start dealing with money.  I have a standard policy of keeping any money out of it when I do something with others to avoid the pitfalls Bannon found himself in.  When you find yourself a prominent national figure, some people will always seek to sink you on any technicality.  So, of course, the radical leftists think this admission of guilt from Bannon is going to hurt him in the eyes of his very vast podcasting public, and I hate to break it to everyone, but America likes bandits and outlaws, so long as they are not bad guys themselves and are seen as fighting against a corrupt system.  In that case, people will find the criminal behavior to be good and will punish the bad guys who attempt to get control of the law so they can define good and bad behavior.  People still have a sense of justice that extends beyond what some central authority tries to impose, which is exactly how President Trump ended up back in the White House and where the mug shot he received from the Fulton County Jail over the case there regarding overturning the election of 2020 is now seen hanging outside the Oval Office in the White House.  People are pretty smart and not just compliant followers, and they could smell a rat in that case; the more Trump’s political enemies dug in, the more they supported Trump and, of course, people like Steve Bannon.

A good soundboard on this strange mystery can be seen in my favorite steak house in Cincinnati.  I think it’s the best steak house in the Midwest, and it is certainly on par with any restaurant, wherever they are, in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, London, or anywhere else.  It’s called Son of a Butcher in Liberty Township, Ohio.  Growing up in Liberty Township, I never imagined in my wildest fantasy that something like Son of a Butcher would be located where it would be and that some of what went on in that location would be some of the most essential things in the business and political world.  But we’re talking about bad guys here and can’t stray too far off the mark.  If you have ever been to Son of a Butcher, it is known for its very wild interior decorating with lots of art painted all over the walls and crazy chandeliers hanging from the ceiling everywhere.  Every room in the restaurant has a kind of artistic expression reflecting contemporary pop culture.  For instance, in one room looming over what they call the Godfather table, indicated so from the popular movie series, is a painting of the Joker from the Batman movies.  Another room is filled with paintings of books from popular literature.  It’s a wild place artistically and looks more like a kind of dive bar in New York than something you’d find anywhere in Cincinnati, let alone Liberty Township, Ohio. 

Of course, the food is even better than the decorations, as they know how to pack a punch for food preparation.  They have some very expensive steaks at the S.O.B., as it’s known, and a couple of people eating there could very easily spend 1K per couple.  Some of the food items are moderately priced, but they are on the high end of the menu offerings and is often one of the most interesting places I find myself in routinely. It’s the perfect place to meet people for complicated conversations, to say things appropriately.  When I am there, I am usually put into a back room, which is my favorite place, that seats about 8 to 10 people, has crystal skulls all over the place and is pretty wild in a place of wild rooms.  They call this place the Criminal Room, and it has pictures of famous outlaws popularly known.  Painted on those walls is a large mural of Bonnie and Clyde.  Around the circumference of the room are two large paintings of very well-known pop culture icons, Marylin Monroe and the other Snoop Dogg.  Marylin Monroe was arrested several times for driving without a license and driving too slow in one instance.  Another time, it was for a peaceful protest.  The room paints her with a mug shot, illustrating that just about anybody can be seen as an outlaw if people dig far enough. Then there is Snoop Dogg, who lately has been trying to change his image into something more kid-friendly and popular rather than the thug gangster rapper who advocated for lots of recreational pot use.  Snoop Dogg was arrested for his role in a murder investigation, the details of which have just been sealed from public record in 2024, about the time that the popular rap star and Corona beer commercial spokesman started to change his image to a broader audience.  The murder was a 1993 case that didn’t quite get to prosecute him for extended jail time, but the charges were severe.

The point of the matter is that even with the murder charge hanging over Snoop Dogg’s head, the public didn’t care.  They bought his records anyway, turning him into one of the world’s superstars in music.  And I probably wouldn’t know much of that story if he wasn’t painted on the Son of the Butcher walls that I see at least once a month.  That is certainly the case with Steve Bannon and even President Trump.  Republicans have been harming themselves with their brand by trying to push out the bad boys that all the women like and put in place all the embarrassing stiff pencil necks that they think adhere to the law, but when they get pushed around by the political left, they end up being seen as George McFly from the Back to the Future movies.  Steve Bannon sees himself more like John Paul Jones, the popular pirate from the Revolution, so he understood all this well before others did in the GOP.  But the lesson is, if you want to win people over to your point of view, a background as an outlaw only helps you.  Being a criminal, however, hurts you, so there is a very fine line to walk. The difference is public judgment; if the public sees lawfare occurring, they will support the victim if they stick up for themselves, which is why having those celebrities in that room at the S.O.B. is so artistically revealing. We love people who challenge the law that corrupt people use to hold back our society.  But people do not love criminals who unfairly seek to exploit people in a weakened position.  And the more that the bad guys have tried to prosecute Steve Bannon, who just stepped out of a jail term right before the election of 2024.  The more popular and influential they have made him.

The Evendale Nazis: Occult attempts to get leverage over political rivals hidden behind historical perspective

I know a lot of people, so I think I would know somebody who would be connected to the Nazi group that tried to cause some trouble in Evendale, Ohio, displaying swastikas and other Nazi imagery in an attempt to ignite a race war.  With their masked faces and an apparent effort to look like Hitler’s followers with nicely pressed clothes that looked fresh off the rack from Party City, my very first thought was that these were a bunch of government workers, probably public school teachers trying to inspire hatred by stirring up people of color to rise and fight against the daily barrage of change from the Trump administration.  It was a pathetic attempt by people who don’t know their history or understand why America is turning away from all this name-calling control and back toward tradition, to cause the kind of social unrest that the national news would cover and convince people to go in a different political direction.  It’s not working; the Marxist left is trying to portray the Trump administration and his conservative supporters as racist Nazi lovers.  The Nazis were always convenient bad guys as established in our culture, and they were, by European standards, socialists and certainly weren’t freedom-loving patriots of small government as the Tea Party movement emerged, and from that, MAGA, which put Trump in office.  These were people who didn’t know their history and who were trying to take the shame of Nazi imagery and control the public narrative of that ignorance.  There is a lot more going on with the Nazis and the administrative state population control behind the memory of that occult-based military takeover of the world that runs much deeper than modern politics.  The swastika, for instance, is one of the oldest occult symbols in the world and has been seen in just about every culture at a time when people weren’t supposed even to be able to build boats large enough to cross an ocean.  The oldest known swastika in the world so far that we have found has come out of Ukraine, 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, in the village of Mizyn.  So there was a lot more going on with these Evandale Nazis than just some government workers trying to cause a media dispute to stop the Trump administration.  It was older, occult-driven, and much more sinister but every bit as stupid.

I know more about the Marge Schott story than I would otherwise care to.  When in 1996, the owner of the baseball team The Cincinnati Reds at that time, Schott, said during an ESPN interview that “Hitler was good at the beginning, but he just went too far,” a crusade to remove her from society began, and all rational thought went out the window.  A decade before she made these comments, I knew Marge Schott through a guy who claimed to be her grandson so that he could try to date my wife, which was a whole story of its own.  Well, Marge didn’t have any kids, and in those days, I knew many people in Marge Schott’s circle of influence, so I could root the guy out for the fraud he turned out to be.  Not that he was any competition to me, but he certainly wanted my wife, and the best way to show what a deceitful liar he was, was for me to show that he was lying about who he was and connect him to a more extensive network of con artists who were pretending to be connected to powerful, wealthy, Cincinnati families to take advantage of innocent, beautiful young girls in the modeling profession.  Through all this crazy activity, I got to know Marge Schott a bit, and I always felt bad for her after the comments she made were used to essentially destroy her publicly and force the sale of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team to a different owner.  It was a clear early sign of woke behavior in using controversy to make public opinion adhere to a political message meant to control the mass population.  Marge said some things that were her genuine opinion, which were being used to control social politics and status in society in general. 

The truth is that many people supported Adolph Hitler, including the royal family of England.  After World War I, after the Treaty of Versailles, the powers that wanted to form an alliance against sovereign nations tried to use the League of Nations to rally everyone to the cause of globalism, and they went too far with the German people.  And that gave rise to Hitler, and many people followed him as a pushback against the first attempt at globalism, just as many of those same forces have tried to do with modern-day Putin and even Trump.  Not that any of these people are alike, other than they run the countries they come from, but the sticking point is that they all received public support for supporting national sovereignty over globalist trends.  When Hitler went “too far,” as Marge Schott meant, he had moved toward mass extermination of the Jewish people, for a whole list of new bad ideas that came from the power that had gone to his head. 

But what is most concerning about the Nazis and Hitler was how they connected the political party to occult practices.  This is why I have been talking a lot over the years about how much of the occult is wrapped into our modern politics, even to the point where the Elohim who work against God are political assets for modern-day Marxist incursions into an otherwise peaceful, and successful society.  The occult use of ancient symbols, such as swastikas, is an attempt to cover up just how much of a relationship many people in the world try to use from the spirit world to invoke their menace on the face of the earth.  Imagine the Genie from the popular Disney movie Aladdin being able to serve whoever rubs the magic lamp and grant wishes to the master.  To occult practitioners, that is a secret weapon they seek diligently. You find it all over modern political movements, a desire to use occult efforts to get leverage over political opponents, and the Nazis showed success in this alliance. Still, because it all went bad, the nature of that relationship was being pushed underground, so general people wouldn’t make the connection.  That’s when things start falling apart socially; in the past, these types of people have been able to invoke Nazi imagery to steer people toward some emotional catastrophe and manipulate society toward those sentiments rather than reveal their true intentions of occult concealment for mass social control.  I saw this happen up close with Marge Schott more than twenty years ago, and now well-ironed cosplay Nazis were running around Evendale trying to start a race war ahead of Trump closing down The Department of Education.  This trick had worked in the past, but people were growing tired of it because the historical references of swastika use were very shallow in the scheme of things.  The Nazis were only the most recent to use them for a relationship with something much more significant and terrifying, the religions of the world that predated human civilization as we know it today, to a time before the earth began, and the ramifications of that are horrendous to those with shallow intellects.  As I say all the time, look where there is war, such as in Ukraine, with many hidden secrets of the past that are there, and you will find people trying to hide that past through violence and emotional diatribes.  And in the case of the Evendale Nazis, we are seeing terrified radical Marxists trying to use events of the past to conceal the real problem that has been exposed by the light of day.

‘Conception Begins at Erection’: The rediculous communism of people like Represenative Anita Somani

To understand why the Ohio bill by Anita Somani is so stupid, “Conception Begins at Erection,” you have to understand that flower child Democrats who want the communist world of John Lennon’s “Imagine” are anti-family and have been working to dismantle it as the focus of their political platform from the beginning.  Their basic premise is that sex is their seductive tool to dismantle society and prevent good families from being created at any level.  So they need open, loose sex to perpetuate their intentions of social destruction, which is why they love abortion so much.  For a woman to be equal to a man and to have consequence-free sex, she must have access to abortions.  Nowhere in the Democrat platform does it question whether sex should be practiced at all without the institution of marriage being applied because sex itself is used as a tool of destruction, as introduced by the communists of Europe who migrated to America to bring down their rival generation by generation.  The communists of the hippie movement needed free love, free sex, and a lack of possession of a single-sex partner to usher in their concept of a no-possession world where nobody owned anything, especially each other.  And sex was their tool, a temptation that most human beings care a lot about and feel some urge to practice.  To achieve this hostile act, women needed to have the means to destroy the ramifications of a bad decision, whereas, in a healthy society, they would be gatekeepers of value.  If they didn’t want some scum bag, smelly dude crawling all over them jobless and with no future prospects, who was to judge.  Maybe he had tattoos, and some body piercings, and her dad wouldn’t like him, so in a flight of fancy, the young girl sleeps with the reckless despot.  Only to get pregnant and tied for the rest of her life to the mistake of a bad decision through pregnancy.  To promote further destructive social behavior, the communist left known as the Democrat Party in America needed abortion to implement their means of family destruction.

Anita Somani is one of those radical medical professionals along the lines of people like Ohio’s Amy Acton, the lunatic who shut down the State during Covid, and Dr. Fauci, who is so well known for his disastrous social policies that harmed and killed many millions of people through horrendous healthcare advice.  Too many of these healthcare professionals who have radical communist ideas have shown themselves to be destructive, and that is certainly the case for Representative Anita Somani.  She is an old hippie chick who calls female rights the right to use sex as a torpedo for bad behavior and to destroy family creation through the temptations of loose sexual practice.  Traditionally, a woman might turn away a man who didn’t have their act together for sexual interaction, and she might get pregnant as a result, a mistake that would last the rest of her life; with abortion, those mistakes were promoted.  A woman could set the reset button and try to forget that the error ever happened.  She just might be tempted to make more mistakes, which would further erode the desire to start a family, and instead would enter the workforce and compete with men for jobs and head of household status socially.  Always in the back of their plans, and in the focus of people like the Ohio Democrat Anita Somani, is the notion that all people belong to each other, that children, if produced, belong to the Democrat-controlled state, and that families should be destroyed in favor of a communist commune of social, pot smoking, despots. 

We’re now at a point where this merging of social roles has been vastly accepted, so most people think such talk sounds almost Amish in tradition.  Equality was the priority, and to make women equal to men, they had to be slugs and even reckless.  How else would women be used to be instruments of destruction when traditionally, a man would have to work hard to win the affection of a woman, especially a pretty one?  There is another problem that arises: in such a merit-based system, pretty women have an advantage over those not so attractive, and Democrats couldn’t have that.  That would mean attractive people would merge to have beautiful babies, further causing the problems of equality that Democrats were so obsessed with, making equality impossible until everyone was equally ugly.  So, to further drive home the point of irresponsible behavior, the man-hating culture of Democrats like Anita Somani wants to punish men for bad sexual decisions just because they engage in activity that results in discharging semen without the intent to produce a baby with it.  Ohio isn’t the only place where these kinds of satirical legislative proposals are being introduced.  This is a pro-abortion movement that Democrats think is cute as Trump and Republicans settle in to dismantle everything that progressives have built over the last century.  And Democrats believe this is the way they are going to win people back to their party instead of watching them bleed away and become Republicans.  Anita Somani is so tone-deaf from communist propaganda over the years, the hippie vantage point of sexual utilization to form a borderless world where nobody owns any private property, that she can’t see how dumb this proposal is under any consideration.  People are turning away from this kind of thinking and are very open to more traditional views on sexual relationships because what we have been doing has left a lot of people miserable and unfulfilled.   Several generations of this destructive behavior have alarmed society to the point where they want to make some changes.  They are moving away from people like Anita Somani, not toward them, as might have been the case during the 1970s to 2000s. 

I’ve bumped into Representatives like Anita Somani in Columbus more than I’d like to.  They are all over the place, and when you talk to them, they are as stupid as you’d think.  They have those empty eyes of social propaganda that look at you with a kind of blank stare because they only have one gear of thinking: social destruction disguised as rights and equality.  And they just can’t be reasoned with.  They are so out of touch with people that they think political stunts like this ridiculous bill will rally people to their cause of more man-hating family destruction to perpetuate their communist political platforms.  They don’t understand that the world has been turning away from them for a long time, especially now that Trump is back in office.  People want standards.  There is no higher form of government than the management of individual families.  First comes a family, then comes your community, then your state, then your country.  Only after all other things are taken care of can we worry about the world.  Not the other way around.  When you dig into the lives of people like Anita Somani, you find miserable people with lots of unhappy spouses and kids because they put their efforts into everything but their families and it shows in their homes and careers.  To cover those mistakes, they dig even deeper into communism to disguise their mistakes with social restructuring because if the rules of good conduct are changed, nobody will judge them as losers.  Which, of course, they are, and that is why their political movement is falling apart as it was always destined to do.

The Bible Says Earth is Roughly 6000 Years Old: Understanding water displacment

I really like people like Mel Gibson and Ken Ham, one the famous actor, the other the creator of The Ark Encounter just south of Cincinnati.  However, both believe in the scriptural understanding of the earth’s history, that it is roughly 6000 years old.  I would argue that they aren’t wrong if you measure years differently than we do on Earth, but that is an entirely different discussion.  Regarding earth sciences, it says that life on Earth is billions of years old and is at apparent odds with scriptural timelines.  Within these kinds of debates, the truth gets concealed from people, which is partly on purpose and other parts unfortunate.  It’s challenging to put science into a belief system, just as it’s hard for people who build a belief system in science to alter a previous assumption because of their emotional investment.  I don’t hold it over Mel Gibson in any way; I can’t wait for his new movie on the Resurrection of Christ.  That will be a life-changing movement for all human history and change the world.  I believe God’s hand has pointed his life in the direction of making this movie the whole time.  So I can’t wait for it in 2026 or 2027 when they finally finish the movie which is a sequel to The Passion.  Because I love the Bible and have had a relationship with it all my life, it comes up a lot more now. How can you love the Bible and love science? The two are incompatible.  I hear all the time that Earth is only 6000 years old and that Charles Darwin was an absolute idiot.  I also hear a lot that we never landed on the moon.  But I think there is compelling evidence in both categories that will erase any doubt very soon, so people believe what they believe, and if it holds them together as people, that is the important thing.  But that doesn’t make everything a fact.  

Mel Gibson is a very smart person who is very passionate about many things, making him a great actor and creative director.  But he has lived a very rocky life, living hard and going through many women.  For a period in the 80s and 90s, he was the sexiest man alive by many considerations, and it was hard for him to maintain his sanity, I think, being a hand of God and having every woman in the world throwing themselves at his feet already undressed.  So, I don’t blame him at all for holding onto scripture like a disabled person holds on to the handrail while going down the steps.  But he recently said something on the Joe Rogan Podcast that was very interesting and part of the movement of trying to fit science into scripture, which is popular these days.  However, I argue differently because I see science trying to force understanding into the same problem, where new evidence is ignored to maintain a scientific narrative.  I’m just going to say it; everyone is going to be screwed up in a few years once we get out into space to discover that humans came from out there, not through Darwin’s evolution, and that many of the things we believe are going to be shattered with new evidence.  That doesn’t make scripture any less relevant or some scientific method.  It just means that discovery gives new evidence and that we must let that evidence tell the story.  Not to make the story fit our assumptions. 

I think these tunnels under the Temple Mount are older than when Abraham went there to sacrifice Isaac to God. And is why the politics of religions are designed to make real excavation impossible.

Anyway, Mel Gibson was telling Joe Rogan that he doesn’t believe the idea that the ocean levels weren’t lower during the Ice Age, as I have been saying, 400 feet lower.  Mel Gibson said that if you put ice in a glass of water when the ice melts, the water doesn’t displace itself over the rim of the glass.  The level of the water doesn’t change.  And from the point of view of mass and how we measure it, he’s got a point.  But he was missing that during the Ice Age, massive amounts of Earth’s water were tied up in glaciers, and those giant blocks of ice were coming down over both poles and were mostly over land.  The weight of the ice itself is what caused the Great Lakes in North America.  The weight was so great that it flattened the earth’s crust in that location, which is still rising back up to a circumference, pushing the water out and into the St. Lawrence Seaway and, ultimately, the Atlantic Ocean.  Another several thousand years, and the Great Lakes won’t even be there.  So because of this massive effect of glaciers displacing large amounts of water over the land masses, the world’s sea levels were 400 feet lower.  At that time, you could have walked from England to France without getting your feet wet, except for a few ancient rivers.  And the Persian Gulf was above water all the way down to Dubai.  Most of Florida extended well into the Bahamas, Cuba, and the Yucatan Peninsula.  If you have read the Book of Morman, there were old civilizations in North and South America that the Nephites and Lamanites interacted with when they migrated from Jerusalem around 600 B.C.  Even then, it looks like land mass was lost to the sea. 

I would further offer that if you look at the previous shorelines of water levels that were oceanfront during the Ice Age, we will discover a lot of ancient civilizations and that the assumption science has of linear technical development is ridiculous.  Rather, we are dealing with the Vico Cycle here, where human civilization has started and stopped throughout history.  And that history goes back millions of years.  Not just 10 thousand years.  And likely goes out into space.  I think there is compelling evidence that Jerusalem goes back to settlement with a cave system under Mt. Moriah and that the Temple Platform that King Solomon built his temple on, and the current Dome of the Rock was significant, perhaps even millions of years ago.  And many of the world’s religions have purposely been put at each other’s throats to conceal the truth, which we’ll likely figure out once we start colonizing Mars.  Much of what we know now about everything will change with new evidence, and we have to be willing to look at that evidence without losing the importance of our belief systems.  It can be tricky business, but it’s not impossible.  Everyone must understand that the bad guys out there purposely seek to pit people’s beliefs against each other to conceal or use the truth to their advantage.  So, because Mel Gibson doesn’t quite understand water displacement concepts and how they relate to ocean levels, that doesn’t mean that what he says in his movies, especially the upcoming Resurrection, is false.  It’s just perspective.  The art says what it says.  And that is the same whether we are talking about the Bible, the Book of Morman, or the Quran.  I find them all very fascinating, and there are certain truths there.  But there is a lot else that science is unpacking, and our scope will increase with new information.  We must have the guts to look at that information and not hide from it, which is the case with science and what we look at regarding previous ocean levels.  And what we will discover under the water, especially off the coast of Cuba, India, Japan, and the Persian Gulf.  It’s going to be a mind-bending few years of upcoming adventure.  And we will all be better off for it.
