The White House Called Me: What I said

Ahead of Liberation Day, on April 2nd, the White House called me to ask my thoughts on how Trump’s tariffs would be beneficial.  They were compiling a list of names for people to attend Liberation Day, and at that time, they were thinking more in terms of a town hall presentation. However, what they ended up doing was more traditional Trump.  In that process, they called me as they were setting up for the day, and I was more than happy to share my thoughts, as always.  I usually don’t discuss those kinds of things when they happen, but this was an excellent conversation that I think is a fitting follow-up to what they ended up doing at the White House for Liberation Day.  And that is the discussion about supply chains, which is the number one issue hidden behind the noise of personal investments.  It’s one thing to complain as a company that has invested in globalism to be afraid of Trump setting tariffs to defend our values from a world built on socialism.  So many countries have completely sustained themselves off American capitalism, then throw all that money into a dumpster fire of losses caused by Marxist politics.  Many investors, to their shame, have invested a lot of money in bad ideas and hoped that somehow it would all work out.  And they’d make up for it patriotically on Memorial Day or the Fourth of July by cooking an extra hot dog on the grill for the holiday to celebrate American independence.  But many financial firms have been looting our system for years and hiding their treachery behind an American flag, hoping nobody would notice.  But we have, and that is precisely why Trump had to liberate America from the terrorist implementation that has been quite ostentatious in the background. 

The main problem I conveyed to the White House was that, with all the transfer of wealth, the world has become complacent with its supply chains, taking too many vacations, and has lost its sense of providing a service to customers due to the accumulation of unearned merit.  What I said specifically was that the world was now filled with a bunch of slack jawed losers who have gotten used to easy money given to them for wealth redistribution, stolen from the value of capitalism and given to the looting nature of Marxism, and they no longer feel like they have to compete to earn the money, because governments have given it to them for nothing.  When you need something in the world, given all this global trade and the numerous time zones, what you get more than ever now are excuses.  In France, I think they are only working about 20 minutes a week now, and they are always on vacation. Most people have 6 weeks of vacation, it seems, and are rarely in the office.  There is no expectation to even pick up the phone while on vacation; the world is suddenly allergic to all forms of work, and it is a global crisis.  As a result, if you need something from Malaysia, what used to take four or five days to arrive is now six months or more.  And in many cases, if you think you need something for manufacturing, you have to order it more than a year in advance. Even then, the supplier is likely to push out their schedule multiple times, without even having any expectation of fulfilling their timeline targets.  As I told the White House, this is the biggest crisis in the world that nobody is talking about: subsidized laziness and the perpetuation of lazy people to profit off the demise of the world.  Trump’s tariffs would immediately help that condition, and it couldn’t happen sooner. 

Now I understand, and we discussed it on the phone, that this kind of thing takes longer to explain than a typical media snippet on tariff talk.  Our media is why the White House has shifted its focus away from the traditional establishment and toward alternative media to convey its message.  We have a lot of people in the same category as the global slack-jawed losers who are lazy and have an expectation of not working nearly enough.  Many of these types now work in traditional media.  So they can’t delve deeply into the tangible benefits of the Trump tariff necessity for a Liberation Day.  A liberation from lazy, slack-jawed losers who order their lunch for the business day at 9 AM and by noon are already checking out and getting ready to pick up their kid at day care and thinking about how they can call off for the rest of the week and still get paid.  If you’ve ever dealt with government, and this is the case with all of Washington D.C., they are very eager in the morning to get to work and park in their parking garages between the hours of 8 and 9 AM.  But by 1 PM, the parking garages are mostly cleared out.  Government workers, if they go to work at all and aren’t working from home, are only putting in 4 or 5 hours of work per day and expecting to get paid a king’s ransom in wages.  This is the hidden cost of globalism, and it is a real problem.

I’ve said it a million times, and I’ve certainly discussed it with the White House, but supply chains before COVID and after are entirely different.  If you needed a fuse or a new alternator for your car, it was always readily available on the shelf before COVID-19.  However, it has taken months to obtain it afterwards.  If you wanted to have a special Corvette built from a dealer, it was usually on the lot, or you’d get it in a few weeks.  Now, it might take a year, and everyone seems to be okay with that, as if that’s the new normal.  No, that is not acceptable, and it has been detrimental to all economies worldwide.  And it all starts with globalism, rather than competitive nationalism, and these tariffs had to happen to reset the world order established after World War II.  People all over the world need to work harder, longer, and much, much faster.  And when you call them, they need to pick up the phone because they need the money.  Not to have an arrogant attitude, as they know their socialist government will compensate them anyway with the proceeds from the trade imbalances.  That’s certainly a more profound discussion than just talking about the price of eggs.  It’s more of a psychological problem of wealth redistribution, which, to Trump’s point, we have been getting ripped off.  And it has to stop; Liberation Day is the moment in history when it did.  And the world will thank us later for forcing them not to be a bunch of slack-jawed, entitled losers short on ambition and full of excuses as to why our supply chains are too slow and inefficient.  And for the Trump people at the White House, it was nice speaking to everyone.  I’m happy to do it anytime.  Trump is doing great, and if he needs anything, don’t hesitate to call.  Liberation Day was great, and very much needed!

Why ‘The Chosen’ is Successful and ‘Snow White’ is Not: Understanding basic ecnomics

I am a little bit baffled by some of the fear surrounding the Trump tariffs. What did anybody expect to happen?   While this is a topic in its own right, economic understanding in general appears to be lost entirely on ordinary people; they don’t understand basic concepts, let alone complex ones.  The same mentality also applies to movies.  It’s a different business, but it’s all about generating revenue within an economic system that provides entertainment to people.  This Snow White Disney story is a microcosm of the general global trade understanding.  What was Disney thinking in making that stupid live-action remake?  And spending so much money on it.  You could say the same about trade imbalances that favored China over American imports and exports.  Why did the world make the dumb decisions to push international wealth redistribution, which is unmistakably present in financial transactions?  Incentives for foreign trade versus domestic production have been in place for a long time, and they were costly and detrimental; now someone has to pay for all that foolishness.  Why is that so stunning to people? Surely, they can’t be that stupid?  Yet they are, and in incredible ways.  In the first week of April 2025, the streaming show The Chosen Season 5 was released to theaters and did so well that it came in third at the box office, just behind Snow White.  That says a couple of things: that The Chosen is doing really well, and that Snow White is doing really badly, because these are not apples-to-apples movies.  Snow White has a budget of around $ 300 million, whereas The Chosen is designed to be a streaming show that plays in theaters as a dedication to Easter, giving fans a big-screen experience during the Holiday.  It will have three theatrical releases leading up to the Easter Holiday with a total budget of around $45 million.  The Chosen is monstrously successful on paper, whereas Snow White from Disney is a dismal failure on every measure.

My wife and I like The Chosen show. We’ve watched it on several streaming platforms over the years and look forward to every season, which I think is surprising.  It’s not as if people don’t know the story of Jesus; it’s very well-documented.  However, the director, Dallas Jenkins, and his wife, Amanda, have done a fantastic job with the show, telling the story of Jesus in a way that I have never seen or heard before.  They love the material, and they love each other, and it shows on screen, even on the big screen.  You can see The Chosen’s previous four seasons on Amazon Prime. I’ve also watched it on Roku.  And we liked it so much that we went to the theater to see Season 5, because we enjoy it that much.  There are planned 7 seasons in total, as this Season 5 is leading up to the crucifixion of Christ, and by Season 7, it will be the resurrection and an exploration of what happened in the years following Christ’s death.  The way they are presenting the material is well done.  I think it’s the best television in years, much better than anything else on the big screen or small.  It reminds me of Little House on the Prairie from the 1970s in many ways, with well-told stories that encompass all the things humans genuinely desire from the world, including goodness.  You would think that this would be obvious to more people and that more of these kinds of projects would have been made over the years, but Dallas Jenkins was pretty much ran out of Hollywood, as most faith based filmmakers have been forcing him to take his skills to the smallest venue possible, because he had been rejected from the business in Hollywood.

The Chosen began as a project for one of Dallas Jenkins’ friends, who wanted to create something for his church in St. Louis.  It was essentially a small film project that would be shown on a YouTube-like platform for a tiny audience.  And the project just grew from there, becoming the first season of The Chosen, which was produced on a minimal budget by a large group of people who were passionate about the project.  Nobody was getting rich off this material; they just did it because they loved it.  But ironically, even though everyone thinks they know everything about the life of Jesus and his disciples, The Chosen goes several steps further, and each season has grown in popularity and budget.  Season 5 was pretty big stuff, as much of it takes place on the Second Temple in Jerusalem and deals in great detail with all the politics behind the killing of Jesus in ways that have never been done before on such a scope.  Solomon’s Temple looks fantastic, as does everything else.  It is a stunningly good show with great acting.  A lot is happening with it that has tremendous social value, both politically and personally, and I am pleased with it.  I love seeing stories like this both in front of and behind the camera.  I want the world to have more people in it like Dallas Jenkins and his wife.  They are a good family who want to do good things and have the courage to do them without fear.  And if I had to put investment money behind something, those are the kind of people you want to invest in.  Those who took action early on are now seeing the benefits.

This Chosen project reminds me of the Atlas Shrugged movies from 2010.  People who have read me for a long time remember my involvement in that project.  I wanted to see John Aglialoro succeed in adapting that famous novel into a movie that Hollywood had rejected entirely.  The unions caused all kinds of problems, ensuring that each section of the movie’s releases never featured the same actors, which was brutal.  I thought the movies were pretty good and I talked them up as much as I could.  They tell the story quite well, based on the famous book.  The Chosen is similar in that it took a small budget approach that exceeded expectations in its delivery.  However, where Atlas Shrugged was unable to overcome production difficulties without being a bit resentful in the process, Dallas Jenkins gives viewers of his production no sense of trouble at all.  People can enjoy Jesus bringing the New Testament to life in all its glory on the screen, shot by shot.  Where John Aglialoro struggled to recover his massive investment in making the Atlas movies, The Chosen will likely turn out to be extremely profitable, a message that Hollywood cannot ignore, especially as Mel Gibson enters production on his Resurrection movie.  I tend to think that if Aglialoro had made the Atlas films more like Jenkins’ The Chosen, he would have been a lot more successful.  However, we’re dealing with the Trump years, as opposed to the Obama years, and things are pretty different now than they were then. People have a hunger for goodness that they didn’t have even back then, when they took a lot of things socially for granted.  But now with The Chosen, people are finding themselves again, almost as born-again Christians do.  And it’s showing up at the box office.  It’s not that the box office is failing because people aren’t going to see movies.  They don’t want the kind of movies Hollywood wants to show them, like woke adaptations of Snow White.  They want The Chosen, and those who provide that kind of content will be the ones who make the most money.  It’s not rocket science.

Working at the Supreme Court: District Courts do not have the authority to tamper with Trump’s Article II authority

I was having a nice lunch in the cafeteria of the Supreme Court recently, and I had a lot of books spread out across the table when some of the workers there took an interest in me, as I had been there for a while.  They were cleaning up around my table and were interested in what I was doing.  The U.S. Supreme Court is a brilliant institution, and an isolated one, considering its location in the heart of one of the world’s most important cities.  However, the Supreme Court is designed to give the people within that building a sense of intellectual remoteness intentionally.  And I enjoyed it. However, what I was doing was something that, even then, was unique in the employee’s observation.  I was working on several tables and had multiple books open, reading a wide range of material simultaneously.  So, they struck up a conversation, curious about my work there.  I hesitated, because talking to people usually takes time, and I often don’t have much time for small talk and gossip.  However, I had been wondering about something, so this was a good opportunity to ask about it.  So, I asked them how often the Supreme Court Justices came down to the cafeteria to eat, since their offices were right around the corner and down the hall.  The employees giggled and replied that they hardly ever saw the Supreme Court members, that the most common thing was to send their aides down to get lunch so they could eat it back at their desks.  And I get that if you are very busy, like I was, and didn’t want to get too wrapped up in useless conversation.  However, for the Supreme Court to remain relevant and in touch, it owes it to itself to stay somewhat informed about the rest of the world.  And given some of the obvious strategies of lawfare that we have seen and continue to see regarding these radical left-wing district judges, who make decisions that are often questionable, I couldn’t help but conclude that the Supreme Court Justices should be getting their lunch at the cafeteria.

I get it, but you must understand that the domestic enemies of this nation have been using our system against us, and that Trump is a unique moment in history to correct the situation, which should have never been allowed to get so far out of control.  The checks and balances of the three branches of government are part of the process of putting the brakes on an overactive Executive Branch or a legislature that allows power to go to its head. We count on the courts to put the brakes on such wild temperaments.  We don’t want a king in the Executive Branch, typically.  However, we also don’t like the government to be caught in needless red tape either.  I think enough of the Supreme Court gets the philosophy of the problem, and it was good for me to be at the Supreme Court for such an extended period to think about these problems in the scope for which they are presented. Neil Gorsuch certainly understands the situation, as does Clarence Thomas.  But I think Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts are stuck on the brakes function of the Supreme Court when the real solution is speed and support.  I can see how easy it would be to get lost on that idea once you put on the black robes and isolate yourself from the outside world a bit.  And that’s where I think Roberts and Barrett are on the issue of judicial activism from the District Court system, and they need to give themselves some context to the heart of the problem.

A lot of people didn’t realize that Marxism was so much in their lives, and we have not talked about the role that communism has played in our American politics, really, since the McCarthy hearings.  We wanted to pat ourselves on the back and say that Reagan defeated communism and call it a day.  However, the truth is that the works of Karl Marx have infiltrated nearly all our institutions to undermine and ultimately overthrow them. In this specific situation with the courts, we saw plenty of evidence to determine that the Bar Association itself is a functionary of Marxism in our culture that has been highly corrosive. Now that we acknowledge and accept this, we need to take prompt action to resolve the matter.  District judges do not have the authority to intrude on a President’s Executive Powers under Article II.  We elected Trump to make decisive decisions and to use his Executive authority to save America from the many parasites who have been acting as clear domestic enemies both in law and finance.  And part of their strategy is to run out the clock on temperament by stalling executive authority in the courts, where Justices like John Roberts get bogged down in the procedural aspects of court processing rather than focusing on the necessity for expediency.  And that comes with the place itself, the Supreme Court.  The building makes it a point to say to the world, ‘ Take a pause and consider things deeply. ‘  Which I love.  However, the strategy implemented against us is to conceal malice behind such a lofty concept, employing a Cloward and Piven strategy of overwhelming and collapsing. 

It would be all too easy for a Supreme Court Justice to go from their house to their office to the Supreme Court without talking to too many people.  They have private parking, and underground tunnels so they don’t have to go outside to move around and be molested by a sometimes-angry public, and they don’t even have to leave the building to get food.  They have pretty good food at the Supreme Court cafeteria.  Once they get into their offices, it would be very easy to send their aids down to get them lunch, and never to leave, getting lost in their books and thinking about the foundations of the rule of law and to be more concerned with judicial precedent, rather than the content of the decisions, such as district judge James Boasberg has been doing testing the waters to see if he can put checks on the power of an elected president.  From their perspective, it’s worth a shot, for radical leftists hell bent on Marxist ideology, which that judge is, it’s all they can do, so they are going to try.  Such an idea forces the Justices to remind themselves that the court’s purpose is not to engage in participation and compromise with other members.  It’s to be correct, and to stand by Constitutional law.  And you don’t compromise with the wrong political philosophy just so you don’t hurt the feelings of your friends on the court, who you bond with and want to be empathetic to, like Ketanji Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, or Elena Kagan.  The goal of the court is not to accommodate all viewpoints; it’s to be correct in its judgments, which was my answer to the cafeteria workers when they asked about my books.  You want to know the correct answer and to arrive at it in the arena of debate, for which the consideration exposes itself, which was why I was there.  The correct answer is that Trump has Article II rights, which lower courts do not have the authority to overrule.  Voters are the checks on power.  If people don’t like Executive overreach, they can vote those presidents out of office at the next election.  However, because the Supreme Court did not apply the same standard of judicial restraint to Obama, Clinton, and Biden, we now have a mess that needs to be rectified.  And now is not the time to get philosophical about checks on power. Instead, now would be a good time to visit the cafeteria and let the Justices get their own food for a change, ensuring they don’t lose touch with reality and engage with the people the Constitution protects.  And I think things will become a lot clearer for them.

Benefits of AI: Ways to get more productivity out of society and more than 70 hour work weeks

I think this would be a good opportunity to provide an update on AI technology and discuss its future.  I believe that when people discuss it, they worry that AI will become just as neurotic as human beings and start to become pretentious and controlling, that it will develop feelings and become manipulative, ultimately posing a danger.  However, I see quite the opposite happening: AI is useful because it’s not pretentious or emotional, and is eager to do work and enjoy it.  The other thing is how we measure work.  One of my biggest arguments with people is regarding work, and the ability to do it.  I tend to like work a lot.  And I certainly subscribe to the sentiment that you can’t make much of a difference in the world in a week unless you put in at least 70 hours of work to move the needle a little bit.  Why 70 hours?  Well, that seems to be a magic number encoded in human DNA, given our proximity to Earth and its mathematical applications of existence.  You have 24 hours in a day and 7 days a week to see what you can do with them.  And because of a lot of really dumb practices, especially established with labor unions and Marxism that is always working in the background of our lives in basic philosophy, we have emerged to this stupid idea that an 8-hour work day is something we can make a living with, and still be helpful in the world.  I think it needs to be almost double that per week for the average human and most of our ideas about work and leisure time, balancing out family time versus personal pleasure and divide them among elements of productivity, such as changing the oil in your car or going grocery shopping, and general stress management are some of our top considerations. 

For instance, I have been married to the same woman for nearly 40 years, so maintaining a relationship requires work.  If you don’t put any work into maintaining relationships, they don’t just magically work.  But then, when I say people should be working more than 70 hours per week, how can that be healthy?  One thing my wife and I enjoy doing together is going hot tubbing.  I would say it’s essential to us and our quality time together.  However, as I try to accomplish more in a 24-hour day than is possible, I argue with her that I need my hot tub time to be more productive.  These days, I use Apple AirPods to catch up on news, make phone calls, and lately, I have been having conversations with AI, specifically Elon Musk’s GROK program, which runs on his “X” platform. I think it is remarkably intelligent.  It has become for me more like a research assistant that can keep up with me and all my many topics of interest.   As I reflected on it, between my Apple AirPods and the “X” platform’s AI for discussion, I have been able to make myself much more productive so far in 2025.  As I thought about it, from AI reading legal documents and producing a general sentiment about their contents to travel destination calculations, I have found that AI has dramatically increased my productivity, and that utilizing it across human existence will undoubtedly lead to economic growth.  If people aren’t willing to do the extra work that it takes to make a productive society, we have invented AI to cover the gap, because it never sleeps, complains, or shudders away from complex tasks, and I like that.  I like that a lot.

What AI thinks of my life as it did a profile on me

Everyone asks me if AI generates the articles I write, because I do so much of it.  And the answer is no, and I never will.  I view writing as an expression of human enterprise, and it needs to be my stamp of approval.  However, I do utilize AI to edit a substantial amount of written material each day, ranging from emails to personal projects and scanning through trade periodicals to identify subjects of unique interest. But I do film all my videos and write so much personal content because it needs that human touch that I don’t see AI replacing, ever.  However, I am a very political creature, and I apply that interest to the management of people and resources to the best of my ability, which is why human beings frustrate me so much regarding work ethic. People have been taught not to work, and I don’t like it.  However, with AI, it doesn’t mind working at all, and I keep it busy all hours of the day doing things for me that I need done, because I never turn it off.  So it’s been a good employee to me on several fronts.  For instance, I was talking to GROK just the other day while my wife and I were in the hot tub, soaking and giving our bodies some much-needed human maintenance, and the discussion was about Eve and the role snakes played in the downfall of civilization.  The conversation evolved into the effects of ayahuasca and the spirit world on our living existence.  So, I asked another AI program that I was interacting with to turn our conversation into a short video, and the result is shown here. A young woman who needs perpetual security finds happiness, even ecstasy, in yielding to the nature and order of serpents.  The theme of this conversation centered on how Eve was always going to be tempted by a snake in her life because she sought security, and adherence to nature was seen as a means to achieve that security, given her weaker position in the marriage union, physically.  I thought AI saw the discussion remarkably well. 

It’s not there yet, but now you can see why actors and producers are concerned about AI potentially taking their jobs.  Who needs union rules on a set to drag a film production out for weeks, building props and taking up physical space on a sound stage, when you can generate a complete story with AI and make everything you want to shoot in a computer environment, which is much cheaper and far more effective?  And I think that is the case for AI across our entire economy, especially a Trump economy, which is just starting to show signs of increased productivity.  And with Elon Musk now part of the political process, utilizing AI to scan so much with DOGE, essentially auditing the government, which is the first time such a thing has been attempted in history, we are seeing massive improvements to our human potential that would not be possible without AI.  So I’m a fan.  I would never let it replace me, I don’t think it will ever be that smart or sound, even as it evolves with improvements.  What makes humans human is far more complicated than just intelligence.  But when it comes to thinking and productivity, I love that AI never turns off and enjoys working so much.  And for me, it has solved many time management problems that other people have been unwilling to address.  AI does it and doesn’t complain, and I only see that improving over time.  I can envision a near future where AI is running entire manufacturing facilities, and production will never stop because humans need breaks and time to make personal calls on their cell phones.  AI doesn’t need a break, and it is willing to work at infinite rates of production, which is a dream come true for me.  But the danger of something comes down to personal investment.  If, like Eve, the desire is to yield to the forces of nature, then corruption is blatant.  However, if nature serves humanity, then entirely different results emerge.  And that is where I see AI headed, with numerous benefits to follow.

More Kristi Noem Please: The best torture of drug cartel members is to have to look at the Secretary of Homeland Security in those tight pants

I was surprised by Megan Kelly’s obvious girl jealousy of Kristi Noem when the Secretary of Homeland Security went to the El Salvador Terrorism Confinement Center maximum security facility and stood before the recent prisoners there, just dropped off by Noem and the Trump administration for their terrorist connection to the government of Venezuela in the form of drug cartels.  I thought it was great; one of the reasons I wanted Kristi Noem to be Trump’s VP was that she has a great sense of style.  I will never forget how proud I was of her for riding her horse onstage at the town square in Deadwood, South Dakota, during the Sturgis motorcycle rally, carrying an American flag and waving it proudly in the air.  Kristi Noem gets it, and I am glad that President Trump put her in a position to utilize her talents for the security of America.  After all the controversies over those prisoners and whether or not a district judge had the power to intrude on President Trump’s Article II powers, Kristi Noem had the guts to visit the prison personally dressed in skin tight jeans, a very tight shirt to highlight her female attributes, while wearing a $50K Rolex and forced all those shirtless, tattooed drug gang members to look at her from behind knowing they weren’t going to have any female company for a long time, and listen to her spike the football right in front of their faces.  As I like to say, that is how you make spaghetti in the kitchen.  That’s the only kind of language that these violent drug cartel members understand, and it’s about time that we start playing the game better than them.  Kristi Noem was wearing lip gloss and had her hair nicely styled, further demonstrating her excessive femininity. As a result, the world came unglued, including Megan Kelly, the former Fox host and current podcast commentator. 

Let me go on to say that with all the talk about Noem’s costly Rolex watch, there is much more to that than anybody wants to admit.  The jealousy among various members of the media society, raised on Marxism, was overtly ostentatious.  Kristi Noem is a successful person who has survived numerous hardships, and she is now in her grandmother years, looking like a pretty hot tamale.  She hasn’t let herself go like many women of her age, and to all those who have, and look like rotting potatoes left two weeks too long in the cellar, Kristi Noem has exposed the heart of the problem.  That when we talk about girl power and all this equality nonsense, the real motivation isn’t for excellence, but it’s to bring down all the pretty women in the world to the level of most everyone else who don’t look so good.  It’s a communist assumption that expresses jealousy for those who have and the mob’s ability to take it and to destroy it, or redistribute it under the flag of equality.  Where everyone is equally ugly.  Megan Kelly’s reaction was the jealous socialite who is concerned that a woman like Noem might steal her man with expressions of feminine charms, so she thought she needed to pile on to all the left leaning media attacks, because as the head of Homeland Security Kristi Noem looked like too much of a woman and not enough of an authority figure.  Sure, Noem could have worn a baggy jacket to cover her body, but she wanted to show off a bit, just as she does at rodeos and public appearances like motorcycle rallies.  She knows what America likes, and they like women with very tight jeans, tight shirts, long hair, and lip gloss.  And to rub a little salt in the wound, Kristi wore her charming Rolex watch.

Who are we trying to impress with a less-than-excellent appearance anyway?  Playing down to the crowd and trying to look more “professional,” which in this case is the same as saying, “more average” lets other people know that you are just like them, butt ugly, lazy, and broke.  But that’s not the message here.  Kristi Noem is a good-looking woman who knows she’s attractive, and she took to the streets to lead raids against dangerous drug cartels, helping to make America safe again.  Most of the prisoners she was standing in front of are dangerous people.  It sounds like there were a few mistakes mixed into that prisoner population, but so what?  What matters is that we commit Homeland Security to get rid of drug cartels who are operating as a hostile foreign insurgent within our borders and openly trying to poison Americans for conquest.  Sheriff Jones once tried to get me to do an article to show just how bad the border violence is, where these drug cartel members are in open war with border property owners and openly cut off the heads of people who stand up to them and stick them on fence posts.  And if they see a woman they like, they take her and rape her and dare anybody in law enforcement to do something about it.  And it happens every day along the border.  That’s the kind of stuff that Megan Kelly should be worried about.  Not how good Kristi Noem looks as a very hot grandmother.  When I see Kristi Noem, I think of American pride.  When I see Megan Kelly, especially after her reaction to Noem, I see a woman who appears to be jealous and insecure about her ability to keep the men in her life interested in her, which is at the heart of the criticism.

I told the Sheriff that I couldn’t use the violent pictures he showed me, because they were just too horrible.  As a media contributor, that is my editorial judgment because it crosses the line.  I don’t mind writing about it, but the visuals are horrible and more people should see them.  There are ways to do so, but the media’s responsibility is to let people know that the border violence that happens with these drug cartels is open warfare.  And it’s not just on our borders anymore, it’s in the middle of America, in just about every city in North America.  They are a purposeful invasion of our country, and we should rub it in their faces when we catch them, deport them, and put them into maximum security prisons for containment and punishment.  And yes, for a bunch of dudes stuck in a rigorous prison system, having to bunch together with a bunch of shirtless dudes and stare at the back of Kristi Noem’s tight jeans is torture in a good way.  And I’m glad Kristi Noem had the guts to do it, and the showmanship.  The Secretary of Homeland Security has written best-selling books and achieved great success in life.  What else is she going to spend her money on?  A Rolex is a symbol of success, and she should wear it proudly and audaciously.  Especially if it makes lazy people jealous and insecure people reveal who they are. Which is what Megan Kelly revealed about herself.  Women, no matter who they are, tend to be very jealous of women they think are prettier than they are, and they adopt levels of Marxism in their lives to make things “fair” for them.  So they can go to the grocery store without makeup and dress in sweatpants and a dirty old T-shirt without feeling bad about themselves, until Kristi Noem walks by in a cowboy hat, tight jeans, long cowboy boots, and a perfumed body, complete with gleaming lip gloss.  And when their men look and admire how attractive Kristi Noem is, women like that punish their men for all the things they didn’t do, and want the world to be just a little bit lazier so they don’t have to feel bad about themselves.  Nope, that’s not how we make America great again.  More people like Kristi Noem do, however, and I am very proud of her for what she has done and plans to do in the immediate future.  More Kristi Noem, please!

Good on the Ohio Senate: Getting DEI out of colleges

Good on Jerry Cirino in the Ohio Senate for introducing the SB1 Bill, which Governor DeWine just signed into law.  And good work to the GOP in both Houses at the Ohio Statehouse.  SB1 is the Enact Advanced Higher Education Act, which targets reform of higher education by banning diversity, equity, and inclusion programs (DEI), prohibiting faculty strikes, and implementing various other reforms at public colleges and universities.  DEI programs have been a disaster for our culture because they do not inspire greatness, but conformity to a standard that does not produce success in society.  This Bill is the first of many to come, which is necessary in public education in general because it has become so severe and out of control that there is no way to work with it any longer.  Equity and inclusion are not communist strategies, as clearly outlined in Marx’s written works, and do not inspire greatness in society.  It is a communist value system that does not belong in a competitive, capitalist culture.  What is disguised as fairness is a radical left-wing weapon designed to undermine our society from the inside out, and rot the minds of our children before they are ever able to fend for themselves as adults.  When this bill was first introduced, it naturally caused a lot of comment and protest. Therefore, it was good that the Senate stuck together and rallied behind Jerry Cirinio.  We need a lot more of these kind of bold bills in the Ohio Statehouse from both sides.  For too long, we let a small minority of communist oriented voices speak and cry for things because they were the only ones who showed up to the hearings, and politicians assumed that meant that they were in the majority.  And that the media would take up the cause and carry communist ideas that they would support by default.  But not this time.

To achieve the kind of competition that Vivek Ramaswamy aims to bring to Ohio through a merit-based pay system, we need significantly more of the 2025 version of SB1.  Most teachers, when you talk to them one on one, without the politics of a teacher’s union lingering in the background, agree with merit-based, competitive pay models.  They probably even vote for Republicans.  And increasingly they support Trump in the White House even if they don’t admit to it in public.  DEI programs have been horrible in the private sector, and they have slowed down the world horribly.  Everywhere we go these days, from drive-thru windows at McDonald’s to advanced manufacturing companies, we have a massive global society that can’t do much of anything right, especially hit a production target.  The quality of products in every industrial sector is declining, mainly because almost every HR department in the country has made DEI a priority, where compassion has become the standard, rather than practicality.  You can feel sorry for someone coming from a rough background, but do you want them making your hamburger at a drive-thru?  A society of broken people has given us production standards not focused on doing a good job, but on hiring people because of their skin color, sexual orientation, and even age status, rather than pushing employees to improve so they can compete for the best job and inspire great production.  Hard work has gone out of fashion mainly because DEI programs disguised as fairness have killed it, and Karl Marx is laughing in his grave at the poison he infected the world with, and many terrible people made into policy because they wanted to rule the means of production from behind a veil of control and influence.  DEI programs have been taught in schools for decades, and they have been horrible for the subsequent generations trying to make it in the adult world, and that compliance standard has been way off the mark. 

At a Lakota School Board meeting recently where they were complaining about just 9 million dollars in lost revenue due to charter schools providing options for kids to attend and to take their money with them, one of the new guys, Doug Horton said to the members of the meeting that he supports Ed Choice programs, but that he essentially didn’t, talking out of both sides of his mouth, because he didn’t think people were leaving the school due to a political exodus.  Parents concerned about Lakota’s support of DEI programs and Critical Race Theory did not believe these factors were the reason students were being pulled from the school to attend other educational options.  And as he said it, he said it with a straight face as if everyone was supposed to believe it.  That is precisely the kind of person that DEI has produced in the world, and why parents are growing increasingly dissatisfied with the public education environment.  I have heard for a long time at Lakota that school board members would deny that Critical Race Theory, which is a spawn of DEI programs, was even happening.  They would tell complaining parents that there was no evidence of Critical Race Theory.  You know why they said that?  Because they refused to look at it, and their public policy, established by many thousands of lawyers across the nation, has a standard policy when it comes to all DEI programs, which is to deny, deny, and deny, until you die.  And even then, continue the practice.  Lie to the parents.  Lie to the people who pay the tuition at these now worthless colleges, and make suckers out of them in public.  And when they talk about these things in public testimony, turn off their mic so there is no record of the exchange. 

School board people like Horton at Lakota know why parents are leaving the district, but what they say in public indicates an intent to mislead.  Just as they say that their purpose is to implement political DEI projects into the schools no matter what parents think about it, because that is their key to federal money, to build a management structure of DEI programs no matter what people really want, because as education institutions, they are all about money.  They don’t try to gain independence from federal mandates and state laws that are attached to funding because their teacher unions are primarily concerned with maintaining the lowest standard they can get away with to maximize their financial gain.  And DEI for them has been a massive cover story of corruption and deceit disguised as helpful fairness. It has been everything but fair, and it has made our students and our productive society much worse by bringing to our competitive workplaces communist ideas that have worked nowhere in the world, in any place.  They don’t work in China either, by the way.  The people there have a strong work ethic due to their culture, and they can afford to throw bodies at problems.  But communism as a DEI model doesn’t work anywhere, and any exchange program that partners with China should have never occurred in an education program.  China is a communist country, and there is nothing we need to learn from them.  The members of the Ohio Senate were wise not to take the bait and learn a valuable lesson from the Trump administration.  Stop listening to these communist fools, such as the dead weight protesting the signing of SBI in Ohio.  We don’t want losers like that setting the standards in Ohio, or anywhere.  Listening to them, as we have in the past, has not improved our world. Instead, they made it all, much, much, worse.

The CIA Found The Ark of the Covenant: Confirming that it is located in Axum, Ethiopia

Is remote viewing possible?  I have discussed this before about Dolores Cannon and a very interesting book she wrote about the Essenes, using regression hypnosis to investigate relationships with Jesus Christ from 2,000 years ago; however, in talking to them in real time, as if they were right in front of us.  I can understand the skepticism, but I think we are talking about conditions of quantum entanglement rather than improbable scientific accidents.  Until people explain to me how ancient people moved large rocks without machines, I will remain skeptical that we are examining the correct science for all conditions.  I think I have a pretty good idea what they are. However, just for fun for my upcoming birthday this year, we are planning to go ghost hunting as a family.  We purchased some paranormal equipment, including an EMF detector, a spirit box, and a voice recorder, designed to detect spirits that are otherwise unable to communicate.  There is a lot invisible to us, such as electricity and radio waves, that are flying around all over the place, interacting with us constantly.  Yet we use these things to advance our society.  So, when it comes to the spirit world, I think there are a lot of life forms roaming around without bodies, across time and space, that do not function according to our linear measure of time, and are interacting with us in dreams, through devices that can pick them up, and even through drug use and hallucinogenic enterprise.  Just because we haven’t figured out all those scientific methods of communication yet, I think Dolores Cannan, and many others, including the CIA, have been able to use remote viewing to learn things they otherwise wouldn’t and to shape events from a great distance without getting up out of their chair.  So yes, I believe the declassified story about the CIA discovering the Ark of the Covenant, and that its location was in Axum, Ethiopia. 

What gives strength to that story is a book I read several years ago by Graham Hancock, which is one of my all-time favorite books, The Sign and the Seal, published in 1992 and heavily inspired by the fictional adventures of Indiana Jones.  Graham Hancock was a beat writer for The Economist and Ethiopia was his territory and they had all these rumors there by the locals that the Jewish Ark was hidden there in Axum because the son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba had brought it there during his father’s lifetime, before the nations of the world moved against Israel to destroy it.  The story goes that Solomon wanted to preserve the Ark of the Covenant and the laws of Yahweh that were kept inside, the Ten Commandments, so he allowed his son and the Queen to hide them away with what is today a large contingent of Ethiopian Jews dedicated to protecting the Ark from the prying eyes of the world.  In his book, Graham Hancock conducted a tremendous amount of research that essentially led to the gates of a small church in Axum and a guard there who had given his life to protect the Ark from outsiders.  The guard there more or less displayed that at least he believed what he was guarding was the ancient Jewish relic, and he had radiation poisoning to prove it.  The guards at the Ark of Axum are elected to lifetime appointments by the town.  So, whoever gets the job gets it for life, and they typically become ill very quickly from their constant exposure to whatever it is they are guarding. When one dies, the next one is elected to a lifetime appointment, and they perform the service with a smile on their face, driven by the honor of it.  And they never leave their post. 

So to learn that the CIA had successfully confirmed through remote viewing that they discovered the Ark, not physically, not with their hands on it, but with the success of a telepathy practitioner, such as Delores Cannon was, I think only confirms what Graham Hancock, and many others have long said, that the Ark is in Axum Ethiopia and is still there to this day.  And I’ll go a little further as to the value of fantasy characters like Indiana Jones.  The value of those kinds of stories lies in getting people to think about such things, and if not for their popularity, Graham Hancock might have remained a beat writer and travel commentator for the rest of his life.  But because of Indiana Jones, the CIA was investigating the Ark, Graham Hancock wrote a book that changed his life, and many other people, and even now as there is a Trump administration declassifying many things, people are very excited to learn about what’s under the Giza plateau considering all this new news about mysterious objects under the Great Pyramid complex in Egypt, and this story about the Ark of the Covenant in Axum.  Fantasy fiction often drives us to scientific fact, and we are better off for the things we learn.  But as humans, we require some intellectual device that provokes us to ask questions we need to be asking; it’s how we acquire new information.  And there is still a lot we need to learn about the world, and I think the CIA has learned to do more with it than just view things remotely. 

A lot of times when you have a ghostly encounter, and a strange shadow man appears just outside your peripheral vision, I don’t always think it’s a ghost, but someone trying to interact with you, or spy on you from a remote viewing location.  And they might not even be living at the same time that you are.  They could be far in the past or way into the future, interacting with you through a dream, or a purposeful exploit of quantum entanglement.  And that these methods are scientific and can be used to communicate information just like a radio wave can now, or how electricity travels invisibly all around us, and we use it to power our entire civilization.  Even though those things are invisible to us, through our current senses, it doesn’t mean they aren’t real in and of themselves.  So, yes, I believe the CIA story, and I think there will be many more like it.  And I think it mainly because it confirms what Graham Hancock already figured out with hard reporting and boots on the ground regarding the actual location of The Ark of the Covenant and an adventure story that was inspired by Indiana Jones, but took on a life of its own that was even more interesting than the fictional account.  I’m not sure how much of the original Ark would be left, made out of wood and gold as it was.  It’s around 3,200 to 3,500 years old, and not much lasts that long, even when preserved.  However, I think what remains of it is in Axum, and the CIA confirmed this with a remote viewing method, which is exciting news.  However, it’s also just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what remains hidden from us using these same technological methods.  And the mysteries of science that we have yet to discover are still ahead of us, but have been seen through quantum entanglement, and it shows that we have a long way to go.

God Won’t Leave Me Alone: ‘The Politics of Heaven’

Absolutely, the number one question I get asked every week, without fail, is when I’m going to write another book.  And my answer is that I usually write them every seven or so years, which has been true throughout my adult life.  My two favorite things, reading and writing, are activities I spend a lot of time doing, so it’s natural that writing a book is something I tend to do.  But this one is different, because lately my answer has been that I’m writing one now.  It will take a few years, and I didn’t go into it with a publisher in mind or some means of distribution.  It’s currently in the raw writing stage, which is the most fun and where the quality of a project like this has the most impact.  And this one is different for me, as it’s a big project and will be a pretty big book. It’s called The Politics of Heaven. I feel I have to write it because God won’t leave me alone about it.  He talks to me constantly about writing this book and the urgency was certainly more frequent after a trip my wife and I recently took to Washington D.C.  We were on the fifth floor where they do their big presentations and enjoying the view of the Capitol and Mall in front of us when the urgency from God was nearly as loud as a screaming kid begging for a candy bar.  This project was one of those things I had planned to do in a few years, about on schedule with my usual 7-year pace between projects.  But this one couldn’t wait.  God wanted to express himself, and it just couldn’t linger.  So, we’ll see how things go and what options present themselves along the way.  However, for the sake of what I do, I am shifting my focus to this project, as well as several other urgent matters that have arisen in conjunction with it.

I saw this at the Museum of the Bible and remembered it from an article I read back in 2007.

Strategically speaking, I see an opportunity here that is unique, and it’s something I originally started thinking about heavily while I took my family to the Sainte Chapelle, with its high ceilings and magnificent stained glass windows, obviously mimicking Heaven and the human ascent into it.  Paris had been getting frequent attacks by Muslim radicals, and it was more than just a war going on over religion.  And I had been thinking that someone needs to write a book in a unique way that puts things in perspective with people.  What is excellent about Christian writers is that they produce a lot of material.  Some of the most prolific writers in the world are associated with Christian scholarship and have been in the business of analyzing scripture and its applications.  I enjoy them.  I look forward to every new addition to Biblical Archaeology Review that I get, and I hadn’t been thinking about it too much, just enjoying them.  But the problem is that this is a strategic necessity.  People with Trump in the White House are looking to fill a void that has been put in them, politically, and what I do that most don’t is deal with politics.  To me, politics is like baking a cake.  You make it, people eat it, then everyone sits down and watches a football game and falls asleep on the couch.  But these messages to me, and how do I know they are from God and not some random spiritual stranger like a homeless person begging for money, are urgent and time-driven.  I have some experience in this area, and this isn’t my first time.  And this time he certainly wasn’t shy about it, frustrated by the limited means that there are to communicate across dimensional time and space. 

It will be a very interesting book. Probably nothing like it in the world.

The Bible is selling very well, with a spike in sales directly tied to the expanding economy and the politics behind it.  For what people have witnessed over these last three decades, who could expect otherwise?  People want goodness in their lives, or at least the pursuit of it.  People were hungry to understand how to extract goodness from something, which, in most cases, is a relationship with the most essential piece of literature the world has ever known —the Bible.  But for most, these are very purposeful excursions into the battle for good over evil, and people usually keep it all to themselves.  But the time we’re in now is different; this is a political enterprise, and it involves a spiritual realm at war with each other, and we’re reflections of that war, where individual battles are erupting all over the landscape.  And politics is kind of my unique thing that is different from what anybody else writes.  Specifically I want to deal with the political problem of the spirit world constantly trying to attack God and his creation from the border of the firmament and to chronical the attack vector of many demonic entities as they were captured by the Apocryphal book The Testament of Solomon which I argue should have been one of the Books of the Bible where God gave him a ring to control the demons of earth and force them to build his temple.  I think this is more than a fantasy story by post-Second Temple early Christians.  I believe there is compelling evidence to support this story, which is very relevant to our present time. Many of the evils we have been witnessing can be firmly attributed to the influence of occult magic and the yearning for it, with numerous factions now working against us.  And is best captured in the Bible in Ephesians 6:12. 

It was stunning to see this in person. God was talking to me in a very literal way.

One of my favorite books in the history of the world is Graham Hancock’s “Sign and the Seal,” which is about the purported discovery of the actual Ark of the Covenant, allegedly located in Ethiopia at Axum.  I will have more to say on the recent revelations from the CIA on this topic soon, but needless to say, I think that book is one of the most fantastic adventure books I’ve ever read, and I’ve read a lot of them.  However, there is much more to the story, and I believe several steps can be taken beyond the adventure part of these stories. We know enough to peek behind the veil at a real war that has taken place and to understand our role in that war.  And part of that strategy is to enable people to form a relationship with the Bible and to continue gaining perspective on how it can improve their lives by helping them win battles they may not even be aware of.  It is my intention for them to figure it out, which is why this urging from me is so timely.  It’s a project that can’t wait.  Of course, I will continue to do all the other many things that I do.  This will be just another project to add to all the others.  However, due to the timing and necessity, I’m doing it now rather than five or more years from now, when I’ll be well into my sixties.  This is an effort that requires a voice that understands politics and can put it into perspective, so people can fight the battle that needs to be won by the forces of good.  And for that to happen, context is in short supply and needs to be made much more abundant. 

Very big stuff

Rachel Zegler is Only Part of the Problem: The live action Snow White is a disaster on every level

As I said many times, Disney should have listened.  I wasn’t planning to discuss the new Snow White film, but there is just too much to discuss to ignore.  The Disney stock is never coming back, guys.  Bad decisions lead to failed companies, and Disney has made numerous poor decisions, which it can’t afford.  Sure, out of all the movies released last year, they were the only studio to get a few movies in the billion-dollar club.  But for them these days, as opposed to just a few years ago, their business approach was reckless, and they lost respect for their audience and instead put them in an abusive relationship.  And that is the only thing that can be determined about the horrible decision to cast Rachel Zegler into a live-action remake of the Disney classic, Snow White.  And it pains me to say all this, because I have liked Disney, as a company.  As a vacation destination.  I enjoyed Disney as a company and as a family.  I have wanted nothing more than to see Disney succeed, and my intentions in that direction can be traced back for decades. I have put it in writing.  However, as a large company and an easy target for left-wing politics, they have adopted an extreme political stance, becoming increasingly arrogant, and have inadvertently made people like Rachel Zegler possible.  Zegler is essentially the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of Hollywood actresses, and she has sunk herself with this one before the Snow White remake could even get out of the box with feminist diatribes and anti-Israel messaging in support of Palestinian terrorism.  She is one of the worst members of the radical left, and she didn’t do anything to keep it off people’s minds.  Instead, like an entitled brat, she thought for some reason that she could use her platform to advance her personal beliefs, which at her young age of 23 years old, nobody wants to hear.   What could she possibly know?

Disney spent well more than $300 million on a remake of Snow White that nobody wanted.  It’s a beloved classic that, if you were to remake it, audiences would likely want to see how a cartoon looks in live-action, rather than using live-action to reinterpret classic themes as modern social commentary.  And then to write a script and put it on the screen by committee, the way many studios do these days.  Someone should have pulled Disney aside as a company well before they cast Zegler in the film to play the pure, white Snow White.  There were numerous mistakes made well before the cameras started rolling.  However, Disney, like Zegler, started this process by targeting Rosanne Barr for her political beliefs, and most notably, the actress Gina Carano, who appeared in the Star Wars: The Mandalorian show.  Of course, Rachel Zegler thought she should discuss her radical left-wing politics while doing press for Snow White, as the company itself was promoting that kind of activism.  She’s just a dumb, inexperienced kid, copying the adults around her.  What did she know?  Or what could she be expected to know?  Disney attempted to part ways with Johnny Depp regarding the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, which was a terrible mistake.  Not that Johnny Depp is a good person.  He did call for the killing of President Trump by assassination.  But when it comes to the Hollywood community, most people can agree that he is the character people want to see in any Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and Disney tried to push him out because of the anti-white male stereotypes.  Now that they are in deep financial trouble, they are trying to repair that relationship.  But it’s too late.

The math is obvious: movies like Snow White need to be in the billion-dollar range for box office viability.  However, Snow White only grossed around $43 million in its opening weekend, projecting the film to be a massive loss.  But Rachel Zegler is only part of the problem.  She’s the face of it, and she opened her mouth way too much even a year before the film came out.  Disney re-shot the movie and attempted to address some seriously problematic plot points.  For lots of ridiculous reasons, Disney thinks it needs to reprogram what little girls want to see in a movie, anti-romance stories, and feminist power where the evil witches are made sympathetic, rather than hated.  And that is because these goofy feminists are now running these studios, and they bring their broken politics to these projects and hire a cast that represents their radicalism as if these career movies will hide what’s ruined inside them.  But that’s not what people want to see.  People go to the movies to see hope and a positive reflection of their concerns.  They want to leave a movie feeling good about things, not being lectured to about how they need to change their minds.  Little girls hope that someday they will have a prince who comes and sweeps them off their feet, and that they can produce a nice family and live happily ever after.  The original Snow White was all about love’s first kiss and defeating the evil queen.  Not coming to terms with evil which is ultimately where Disney has fallen short.

There are properties that Disney still owns that are generating a little money, such as the Marvel films, Star Wars, and Avatar, with a few projects on the horizon.  There will still be a few movies here and there that do somewhat well, relative to the rest of the Hollywood industry.  But that is only a shadow of its former self, and once that trust is broken with audiences, it will be lost forever.  There is no way to repair it now.  Disney has made itself an anti-Trump, anti-family entertainment company, and I can say that after just visiting there with my family recently.  I wanted to love the Disney experience.  I had just returned from a week-long trip to Japan and then spent a week with my whole family at Disney World, staying at the wonderful Fort Wilderness resort.  I wanted to like it.  But it was like being in love with a ghost.  The magic had gone from the park; it was obvious to me.  All my kids enjoyed themselves, but to be honest, their favorite part of the entire trip and all the fantastic things we did was the swimming pool at the resort.  I spent a small fortune to give my granddaughter a Disney princess experience, complete with a dress and opportunities at the famous castle, and she thoroughly enjoyed it.  She still talks about it all the time and I spent the money because I wanted her to have a taste of an elevated female experience, as a little girl, of what life might be for her, as opposed to the doubts that are so persistent in little girls worried that they might not be pretty enough, or smart enough to get what they want in life.  Disney’s answer to that is to attack the expectations so that nobody fails.  And that is not what people want, which is why the parks are not as full as they used to be, and why people have stopped seeing Disney movies, are canceling their Disney+ memberships, and are turning to other entertainment options.  Rachel Zegler is a creation of Disney, and their support of people like her is precisely why they are failing now.  And why their stock will never bounce back, which I hate to say.

Trump’s Executive Order ‘Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections’: The size of AOC’s caboose

They have no choice, and this is always the case when it comes to unearned merit.  The best way to root out bad behavior is to prevent it from being masked by good conduct.  And that is what the Democrat party has been doing for many years.  People didn’t know what Democrats believed since they hid the Bernie Sanders types behind people like Hillary Clinton, who were every bit as radical, but they knew how to put on a little show to con people into thinking they weren’t what they were.  There have been some alarming concerns that large crowds have been attending Fight the Oligarchy rallies, which Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been holding in various college towns, and whether these gatherings will inspire a similar movement among Democrats.  The answer is no.  They do not have the numbers.  What they are doing is smoke and mirrors by carefully picking sites where lots of broken people and college kids are concentrated with their overtly socialist message.  They couldn’t get those kinds of crowds outside of very specific areas, but it looks good for the cameras.  And it has alarmed some Republicans who keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, and for the pendulum to swing the other way.  But that is loser thinking.  The facts of the matter are that Democrats had no choice, and this has only further uncovered them in ways that they have been trying to hide.  Their party is a radical branch of European communism, a left-wing form of populism they tried to hide from the public, just as Republicans tried to hide the pro-capitalism of their party by resisting Trump.  Bernie Sanders was their form of populism, which they wanted to control and conceal, as they needed the illusion to trick voters into supporting them.  But now the cat is out of the bag, and everyday people can see what they have always been, all along.

The only thing I have learned recently regarding these Bernie Sanders rallies is just how big the caboose is for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  I thought she was thinner than that, but she is carrying too many potatoes in her rump, to put it nicely.  And if she is the best that they have, they have some real problems.  But that’s where they find themselves.  When they had a chance, they turned away from Bernie, who had been drawing good crowds during his two recent runs for President, along with Trump.  And the Democrat machine turned away from him and instead invested the party brand behind Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris because they thought sex and skin color were enough to convince people to vote for socialism, that Americans could be guilted into supporting overt communism.  And that turned out to be completely the wrong strategy.  I could have told them otherwise.  I did tell them.  But nobody listened, and they arrogantly did what they did, and Democrats, finding they didn’t have a home any longer, peeled away and joined Trump and the MAGA movement.  I said as much during Bernie’s first run for office when the Democrats rigged the primary in favor of Hillary Clinton and pushed Bernie aside.  Those same disjointed crowds support Bernie, but the problem they have is one of math.  They don’t have the numbers.  If they had stuck with Bernie in 2016 and 2020, they might have done better, but even then, they didn’t have the numbers.  However, what has happened since the 2024 election is party-destroying numbers, which is why there is so much theatrical presentation by them that comes across as so phony.  Because of Trump unifying the Republican party so resoundingly over the last 9 years and essentially three terms as an American President, Democrats had no response, and it has essentially destroyed them as a political party.

What we are seeing in these crowds are the communists and overall Marxists, who have always been there.  College campuses teach Marxism, so there are a lot of confused kids with weak relationships with their parents who are easy to sell socialism, communism, and Marxism to.  Kids are not very confident in their life skills and are prone to being misled by a victimization cycle message.  But one thing that happens to people as they get older is generally, they become much less Marxist and much more Republican because as they work in life and have to run their families with responsibility, their political views come back to reality and they vote more conservatively.  We observe a pattern among school levy supporters in local districts: young parents tend to vote yes for higher taxes because they are uninformed.  They aren’t yet very sophisticated about how the world works, and they want to believe in a massive social safety net, especially since that’s what they were taught in school.  But the older they get, the less that sounds like a good idea, so they peel away and move to the political right with each year that goes by.  And if a community has a large number of people over 50, then school levy issues tend to fail.  That is the same condition with general political sympathies.  The crowds Bernie is attracting are those who have had their safety net disrupted, so they seek the comfort of a crowd to validate their feelings.  Not to show support for a more independent and self-initiating capitalist government, the way it is with the MAGA crowd. 

The solution is straightforward, and President Trump is already addressing it. On March 25, 2025, he signed an executive order titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.”  This order aims to overhaul election processes in the United States, focusing on tightening voting regulations through the implementation of Proof of Citizenship, Election Day Ballot Deadlines, Federal Oversight of Funding Conditions, Prosecutions of Election Crimes, and Voting System Standards.  Democrats, especially those embedded in the Bar Association of lawyers, such as Marc Elias and organizations like the ACLU, will try to sue citing this order as an unconstitutional power grab, because they know, as everyone has come to figure out, that Democrats can’t win if they don’t cheat in elections.  Just like Bernie and the gang have had to try and use smoke and mirrors to make their numbers look better with rallies on college campuses.  The truth is, Democrats never had the numbers, and now they have had stripped away from them, polite society they can no longer hide behind.  Reasonably moderate Democrats who could win a few votes to the Marxism of their foundation without scaring people off.  Now they don’t have that, and they can’t hide it from the public.  And Democrats know, because they have been trying to hide it for years, if they can’t create so many opportunities to cheat elections, they will likely never win another one, and their party is done.  So Trump’s executive order gets to the point.  And that is why Democrats are suddenly so desperate, and it will only get worse for them.  They have to put out to the public the best that they have, and for them, that is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, the old man who is a sympathizer of the Soviet Union and a socialist.  And they can’t even hide from the public any longer, the size of AOC’s caboose, because they can’t afford to.
