Just How Good is Don Jr.: Don’t be surprised to see the campaign signs for 2024 saying “TRUMP/TRUMP”

Not that he needs to hear it, but one of the big topics I talk about in my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, is the concept of “ghosting.”  If you are valuable, do you need other people to know it?  It would be best if you were secure enough in yourself to be good at what you do, whether or not you get recognition for it.  And that is undoubtedly the kind of person Don Jr. is.  I don’t think he gets enough credit for just how good of a patriot he is, and how history will remember him.  His dad soaks up all the headlines, naturally.  But I’ve seen enough out of Don Jr. now to know that he’s doing the things he is for all the right reasons.  And he is certainly secure enough in himself to not be the headliner.  Donald Trump Jr. does things because they need to be done by somebody, and I would argue that without him, his dad, President Trump, probably wouldn’t be able to do what he has been doing.  But for the sake of fairness, I see it.  And so do many others.  When all the smoke clears from these turbulent times, and history is trying to figure out what happened, I think Don Jr.’s name will be one we talk about for many years to come, and how important he was to helping to make things right.  It would not surprise me at all if Don Jr. ends up being the VP pick because as I have said from the beginning.  It’s not enough to win in 2024.  We have to set up 2028 and 2032.  There are horrendous forces out there in the world who want us all dead so we have to get control of our government so it can do the job we need it to do.  And Don Jr. is in this game for keeps at this point.  And he would be perfect to take over and finish what his dad has started.  Don’t be surprised if the campaign signs for 2024 end up being TRUMP/Trump. 

I’ve had a chance to meet and see Don Jr. in person several times now, the latest at Lori’s Roadhouse in West Chester as he was campaigning for Bernie Moreno.  He is very good at what he does and interacting with the public.  But what’s missing from him is the usual pretentiousness of a person born with a silver spoon in their mouth.  Recently, a bunch of knuckle-dragging slugs questioned my judgment, asking me why I thought a person in the business world was worth as much as I said they were.  I didn’t talk about the many businesses this person had started and made much money at.  I didn’t talk about the many community affiliations they were members of.  I didn’t talk about the kind of car he drove or the size of his house.  I replied that he had raised eight children into adulthood, all good kids.  That was the most valuable thing he had done, which was why he succeeded.  You can’t cheat being a good person.  You have to be one.  And you can say the same about all of Trump’s kids.  I’ve met them all at some point, except for Tiffany and Barron.  But what you don’t see coming from Trump, even with all the marriages to different women, is him producing slack-jawed hippie slugs.  A lot of people these days follow the social mandates in parenting much to their detriment.  Don Jr. is undoubtedly his own person, but you know what, he’s a good person, sincerely.   And the MAGA movement is much better because he’s in it. 

Look at Joe Biden’s kids; they are all messes because their father was an idiot.  Many people look at their kids and blame their failures on something that the kids did.  But if you have crappy, no-good kids, it’s likely, (primarily likely,) that they are terrible because you did a lousy job as a parent.  That doesn’t mean that you have to be a perfect person.  Trump would never claim to be an ideal person.  But if you care and work healthily with kids, teaching them right from wrong, they can grow up and be fantastic, as Don Jr. is.  His brothers and sisters are, too, and Eric and Eric’s wife Lara are just wonderful people who are working hard to make the Republican Party better than it was.  And the public does not see much of what they have been doing.  There is very little pretentiousness in any of them.  You don’t hear from any of the Trump kids, “Do you know who I am?”  They show up at places and do the work year after year and have built an excellent network supporting their father, the frontman.  But when President Trump isn’t doing it anymore and finally retires, those kids’ work will resonate well into the future.  And I feel they will always be involved in politics because they want to Make America Great Again, whether in front of or hidden like ghosts in the pages of history.

Don Jr. could be doing a lot of things with his life.  But he spends almost every hour of his day making America Great Again.  I catch him doing his podcast and giving interviews on other podcasts throughout the week at all hours of the day because his heart is really in it.  He’s not hoping to get his dad into the White House so he can become “richer.”  The good thing about the Trump family is that they have already tasted success in life.  Daddy Trump prepared his kids for life on top of the social pyramid, and they didn’t lose themselves the way so many other children of successful people did.  When success is the focus, not the family, it ends up screwing up the kids.  But when you are sincere in what you do, and success is the byproduct, the kids learn the right things along the way and can handle it.  And because of the way that President Trump raised his kids, we are fighting to save America today in ways that wouldn’t otherwise happen.  Don Jr. has quite a cast of characters working in the background while his dad draws all the cover fire.  And it’s not lost on me just how vital those background characters are to the future.  Democrats do not have such a network of characters.  They are hanging onto the past, while the Republican Party has all the new growth.  And a lot of that new growth can be attributed to Don Jr.  President Trump didn’t just roll out of bed and have all this great network of support that has pulled together in such a healthy way as we are seeing.  The most significant trait of a leader is to do as Don Jr. has done.  Whether or not you get the social credit for the action is irrelevant.  Who cares what some dumb fool thinks of you?  The question that must always be answered is, did you do what you did because it was right?  And Don Jr. can always say yes.  And his father taught his kids the difference, which good parents tend to.  But when kids go wrong, as Joe Biden and his kind often do, there is always a good reason.  It’s not a mystery.  It’s because they were terrible people.  And bad people make bad kids.  You can never cheat the results of a child who spends so much time with you in their life.  You can’t hide it from them if you suck.  When you look at Don Jr. and meet him, you learn a lot about how good his dad was.  And you naturally want America to have the same opportunity.  The ghost is always the most powerful position on the chessboard.  We play the pieces.  But the ghost plays the game.

Beating the Government Mob: It’s all about the down-ballot races

Yes, Trump is going into areas where typically Democrats have dominated, such as his massive rally in New Jersey.  Trump is going to do a rally in New York and other places Republicans gave up on a long time ago, not just as some vanity project, but because he’s working on a more significant issue, and going into those areas is how you bolster not just the Executive Branch, but the House and Senate too.  I verified it myself, as I have been saying since the last election.  I’ve been to heavy Democrat areas and do not see any enthusiasm about President Biden anywhere.  It’s one thing to say that there was election fraud.  It’s another to prove it, and there is no way to explain why a person who was supposed to get 81 million votes can’t be found to have any enthusiasm from the public.  Well, that’s because the public didn’t pick him.  Biden was picked for people, and they resent it even more now than they did in those cold first few months of 2021 when Biden replaced Trump in the White House.  Lots of people who count the votes and are hostile to America put Biden in place with election fraud, and to understand that, I will tell stories about Cincinnati in the weeks and months to come where the mob ran just about everything, specifically the battle between Simon Leis and Larry Flynt which come to mind.  The two men were military veterans, but in Leis, he was a patriot who bleeds red, white, and blue to this very day.  Flynt wanted to destroy America after his term in the military, and he spent his life on an openly destructive crusade to kill our nation in any way possible.  Living in Cincinnati, I had a front-row seat, but to understand election fraud and the forces that put Biden in office over Trump, the efforts are the same.  The only difference is the scale, and this is why Democrats want power and want to keep people off their turf.  And why Republicans typically don’t go into hostile territory.

Even though the mob-controlled much of the entertainment activity in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati through most of the war years, from the Red Scare of the 30s in post-prohibition times, and the government imposed Great Depression, through World War II and Vietnam, until the period where the mobsters got tired of fighting prosecutors like Simon Leis, and decided to move their operations into government, which is why you don’t hear about them in quite the same way now.  They permeate behind communist efforts and global socialism, but the concept is the same.  And this must be talked about to understand why nobody supports Biden, yet he’s in office and Trump isn’t.  When I think about the situation, I think of how Simon Leis stayed in office as a patriotic prune that the progressives who wanted global communism behind the hippie movement wanted to destroy completely.  That was because people understood that the mob was in control, and Leis was willing to fight the mob and win.  And it was the mob who bankrolled Larry Flynt as a front for their many other crime organizations.  In many ways, we are fighting the mob in a modern form as they have given up their turf wars and have now joined together within the context of our government.  But it’s the same game as it always was.  And where Simon Leis remains alive and well in Cincinnati going into his 9th decade, Trump has become the same kind of patriotic character for the entire nation.  And what we are up against is much worse than what was going on between Cincinnati and Newport, where even Bobby Kennedy targeted the Cleveland Four as his national crusade against the mob who certainly could care less about our right to self-rule and the rules of our Constitution.

Trump had to battle crime families and labor unions in New York, so he understands how to deal with this government mob.  And he knows that their power comes from turf control of regional areas where blue cities count the votes.  So the goal is to inject enough patriotism into those areas so that you take away the ability to cheat in those regions.  Looking at precinct maps of the previous election, the percentage spikes are obvious where election fraud occurred.   So, by disrupting those areas and their control over the regional population, Trump may not win those areas against Biden. Still, he can help the down ballots, where all the meat and potatoes are in this election.  We know there was election fraud, and the power of these government mobsters is in control of the regional areas, which is how they stack the deck.  However, the Trump and MAGA movement, in and of itself, is very similar to the fight between Simon Leis and Larry Flynt.  In that case, smut and pornography were used to hide the other criminal elements of the mass amount of normal mob business.  In this modern sense, it is progressive causes, such as racism, woke values, and trends of communism, as conducted by China through finance.  While many of us are looking at one thing, such as the unfairness applied to Trump by this far-left legal system, going all the way into the Bar Association, the real crimes of power occur in broad daylight, such as the fake war with Russia and Ukraine all to clean money through the effort toward the aims of territory control of those regions.  It’s the same game. 

Republicans could pick up at least ten seats in Congress in 2024.  And the Senate is a pretty wild ride.  It is leaning Democrat for now, but there are at least 5 or 6 races that could give a firm majority to MAGA Republicans.  But we need every last one to get those elected, like Bernie Moreno in Ohio and Kari Lake in Arizona.  That’s why it would not be wise to take a person who might otherwise be a good Republican senator, like J.D. Vance, and make them a VP pick, which takes them off the table for controlling the Senate.  We need to do more than elect Trump back into the Executive Branch.   We have to take control of the mobsters who run the Deep State.  Trump can best help himself in that effort by campaigning in areas controlled by that mob to free the people there in much the way Simon Leis did in Cincinnati in his smut war against Larry Flynt, which he mostly won.  Cincinnati is the model for how to save America from those same forces.  And in the coming months, I will spend a lot of time telling those stories so people can relate to the modern context.  The only difference is scale.  So, Trump’s campaigning in Democrat-controlled areas is more than a novelty.  It’s about overcoming the cheating machines in those areas to keep Democrats in office with high-engagement voters.  Trump has the personality to do that.  And in so doing, he will help take over the House and make a significant play for the Senate.  For those who think that voting doesn’t matter, the mob wants you to believe that.  That’s how they have continuously operated, taking hope away from innocent people who want to live their lives.  But they aren’t all-powerful, and their mechanisms can still be defeated, as they were in the past.  It just takes good people to stick up for themselves and to run these hoodlums back into the shadows to which they belong.

The Message Behind Putting Steve Bannon in Jail: Refusing to acknowledge that Trump was the official government, which he was

The real danger in the case against Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro from the January 6th Committee isn’t just in the jail time imposed on these former members of the Trump White House.  Of course, this is not the first in history where Congress pushed executive branch members to provide some testimony, and the claim of executive privilege was used to deny it.  Eric Holder was found in contempt of Congress.  So was Lois Lerner, along with many others.  It’s normal to claim executive privilege when another branch of government is seeking information from another.  But there is something far worse going on here; it’s not just an argument about executive privilege that is going on behind all the prosecutions of President Trump and the people who worked directly for him.  It’s a denial that President Trump ever had the right to be president and that anybody from his administration could never claim such a right because they never existed.  That is the essential legal premise that was upheld by the appeals court, which rejected the conviction of Steve Bannon, the former strategist for the White House and the current voice of the Warroom podcast, which is very popular.  We are learning how much our current government is like the mob and how large it is.  The premise of destruction that they are putting forth is arrogant and audacious.  Yet it is their political position to go all in and attack members of the Trump administration, which sets a precedent for all future presidents that will only lead to destruction one way or the other of the other side.  This is more than a political gamble; it’s a desperate attempt to show mass force by the power of government over the representatives of an elected government, and its menace has been overt, to say the least.

When the January 6th event occurred, and the Congressional committee of the same name was enacted to investigate the circumstances, it was a political event.  It had nothing to do with justice, just as the cases against Trump have nothing to do with crime, but in using political force to keep a rival from running for office.  For those doubters about election fraud in the 2020 election, just study the intent behind the January 6th Committee of Republicans and Democrats, and it will become clear that if they could cheat in the election, they certainly would.  And they certainly had the means to cheat massively, because of all the newly adopted Covid rules that were essentially written on the back of a napkin and had absolutely no Constitutional validity.  Democrats had been held in contempt of Congress many times, so when the shoe was on the other foot and Congress put together an investigation into President Trump’s role in what they were calling an insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro did what the established behavior was from the Executive Branch perspective and that is to refuse to testify.  If it had been me, I would have testified.  I think they should have testified.  I would have made a mess of their hearing with my testimony in ways that would have been far more destructive to them, the Committee members.  But I get it. Steve and Peter didn’t want to show any respect for a crooked court, and they used their Executive Privilege to protest that power over them as they had an established right to do so.  But, the committee representing the general sentiment of the Beltway culture refused to recognize that right, which is why these contempt charges were different and why Bannon is going to go to jail at a critical time in the election process of 2024, to get him off the table.  And Peter Navarro is already there. 

However, by all legal parameters, and this is where things get very dangerous and will have lasting effects for the future, either way, that same Beltway culture is refusing to acknowledge that the Trump administration even existed.  The purpose of the January 6th event and the following committee was to provide a cover story for a stolen government.  Trump was the popularly elected government at the time and was the authority.  Trump couldn’t have an insurrection against himself.  It was the Beltway culture of lawyers, politicians, political pundits, investors, and globalists who refused to believe that they did not have power over the people and that people would elect someone to office in the White House that they did not have control over.  So, by prosecuting Bannon and Navarro, there is more than a contempt charge going on here.  There is a message to the public that this government that took over through election fraud, a previously established government, was in charge.  And if they, too, didn’t want to rot away in jail, they better get on board and do what they were told.  The message couldn’t be more precise.  This stolen government was asserting power over the previous government by denying its existence and justifying its actions through some fake insurrection accusation when the Biden administration, controlled by globalist interests, had performed the actual crime.  And the January 6th participants who rioted against the Capitol on that day were upset.  They had a right to be.  Their government had been taken from them, and they were given Joe Biden, but they weren’t OK with it.

As with all authoritarian governments, particularly communist ones, shows of force like this are common.  This is not an unusual playbook.  However, through our checks on power and divided government, we have an assumption in America that we can avoid these kinds of problems, which provides a stable platform for a constructive society that is financially viable.  However, the premise behind attacking members of Trump’s White House and Trump himself as he runs for President this third time is that the enemy is perfectly willing to throw the baby out with the bath water to get what they want out of it.  And if that means the destruction of America, that’s just as good for them.  These are evil people using the same audacious display of power and control as we saw among mobsters in American culture, and they have hijacked our legal system as a cover for their intent to commit crimes.  And on this stage, we are talking about crimes through the force and security of global communism.  They don’t care that throwing political rivals in jail might make people mad because they have already declared war against those who voted for the Trump administration.  Like the mob, putting Navarro and Bannon in jail and anybody else they can get their hands on is a warning.  They don’t care about the fairness of it.  Or the legality of it.  They only want to destroy their political opposition by any means.  And that is how we need to talk about this case, and we certainly can’t put up with it.  These are some of the most significant crimes in the history of the world, and we can’t just turn our back on them.  The bad guys have to be punished severely.  And the bad guys are not Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon.  But those who refuse to acknowledge that Trump was the legitimate government from 2016 to 2020.  2024, they will be more popular than ever because people want to pick their government.  They don’t like it selected for them by globalist forces who use the government as a cover for crimes against humanity, as evil people have always sought to do.

When People Insist on Doing Evil: Lobbyists in Washington D.C., who really run everything

One of the problems of government is that it is unreasonable to expect humanity to follow the laws of other men if they don’t follow the rules of God.  If the basic Ten Commandments and the idea of a God Yahweh don’t bring people together toward a common cause, then what would?  And why would anybody be expected to behave themselves without some moral foundation formed by anything but fear?  How can you build a society out of fear of punishment from a centralized society of totalitarian monsters?  And when you have a society without such moral parameters, why do people fail to work against their essential intellect?  I’ve told this story about K-Street before, but it’s worth a few new shiny observations relative to where we are in 2024 politics.  But essentially, I think it was in 1997 when I was invited as a VIP to be a part of a literary conference at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. for the Joseph Campbell Foundation.  But I had two young kids then, and my wife didn’t want to go.  But I dragged them along anyway because it was an important event, and we arrived at our Days Inn hotel at 2:30 AM on a Friday.  When you arrive anywhere in the world, you see what kind of society you are interacting with, by the people’s behavior, with any assumptions of goodness stripped away.  How do people behave when they think that people aren’t looking or will judge them?  At that time and place, I learned a hard lesson about the human race that nobody had warned me about.  But I did understand the nature of the problem in Washington D.C.  It is filled with people away from their lives, wives, and public scrutiny, and they couldn’t resist the temptations of a modern Sodom and Gomorrah.  Just as humans have always fallen from grace, they could not provide proper management to achieve a society where justice was the axis on which everything rode around. 

Those old Bible stories are more than cautionary tales passed down through Western Civilization to impose capitalism on a world trying to steer their societies toward communism.  They are vital observations of time and what works toward a productive society and what doesn’t and are essential to building a prosperous society.  When America did so without globalist ideas of corruption contaminating our legislative system, it worked best, and the Bible was a great reference point to learn and build such a moral and correct society.  And so it was, we arrived in Washington D.C. just a few blocks from the White House.  Bill Clinton was still the president, and my wife and I hated him.  Let me clarify that.  We considered Bill Clinton Hell on earth in moral depravity.  And we liked Hillary Clinton even less.  The Lewinsky scandal was heating up at that time, but we were already anti-Clinton supporters because of Paula Jones and the Whitewater deal.  So that’s where we were politically.  Back home, we were in a major turf war with local drug dealers who were working with the Mason police department to sell drugs in a home across the street from our house, and I had the mayor involved, and the FBI, and all kinds of crazy characters that was getting very ugly.  It was a rough period in our lives, so when we arrived in Washington, D.C., we had no compunction for nonsense, and what we saw immediately was nothing but.  We expected a lot more from our capital, even with what we knew about the Clinton administration. 

All up and down K-Street, pimps and hookers were working vigorously.  I had to try to convince the hotel staff to let us in the garage because, essentially, K-Street was a war zone, and they did not permit people in and out of their garage after 10:30 PM because they encouraged their residents to be in their rooms and safe by then.  We arrived late because I had to work that day, and we left for Washington after my completed workday; we arrived late after their regular operating hours.  So there were my kids and a furious wife, and I mean furrriiiioooouuuusssssssss, sitting in the car waiting for me to convince the hotel guy to open the parking garage under the hotel below street level.  As all this was going on, women, mostly nude, were working the street and getting in and out of cars every few minutes.  Sex acts were as common as snowflakes in a blizzard.  The people in the cars picking up the girls were lobbyists, attorneys, and political figures in nice clothes, cars, and public decorum.  These were not heroin addicts.  But ordinary, everyday people who were away from their families and acting like there was no tomorrow when faced with the seduction of temptations of the flesh.  The police drove up and down the street like this was a typical day.  I had thought that prostitution was illegal, but obviously, not.  It reminded me of the same kind of characters back home in Mason, Ohio, where I was involved in a drug war.  People wanted drugs, and I was in the way, and it got very hairy.  And here we were in Washington, D.C., at what was supposed to be a respected forum at the Smithsonian, and it was the opposite of good in every way.  Once we got to our rooms, we found out there wasn’t any milk for my kids to be found, and at 3:30 AM, they needed it to get to sleep.  So I went out on the town to find some milk and to say it nicely, it was a war zone with overturned cars, gangs, thugs of every kind hanging out everywhere.  And all this was just a few blocks away from the Capitol Building.

I returned with the milk, but my wife was upset because all I could find was vitamin D milk, and not the usual 2% my kids expected.  So it was a rough trip and a really hard night.  The store where I bought everything looked like a warzone from Beirut.  The thugs outside ran the street and items inside the store were thrown all over the ground.  I couldn’t believe I actually found a gallon of milk of any kind at that hour of the morning when the thieves and scum bags had not yet looted it.  And the cashier at the counter was used to all this.  It was just another night for him.  A few hours later, just after 7 AM, as we headed over to the Smithsonian to meet with the people I was there to see, everything had returned to normal, and the professional class had retaken over the city.  All the thugs were gone and the people looked sharp and witty, like everything looks on TV.  It was a grand delusion run by vast evil at the expense of sanity.  And I have never forgotten it.  But, what was most disgusting was that you realized the entire town ran on evil because they wanted to do evil.  They tried to break the law and given just a little chance to do so, they were more than willing to do it.  And if the people who ran and lived in that vile city were willing to do such horrendous things because the prostitutes and pimps were not there on their own, then what evil were they all capable of?  The drug dealers, the strip joints, the open crime that was everywhere, they weren’t the cause of the crimes.  They just facilitated the desire of our society’s various lobbyists and cutthroats.  If they were so willing to break any laws, let alone God’s laws, there was no way to manage proper behavior.  And society would fall apart every single time.  That is a particular problem with Democrats who do not believe in God, generally.  And think they can replace the idea of god with government.  But then, what keeps their society obeying laws without the fear of punishment that comes from everlasting damnation?  And what keeps lobbyists from running our political system with the promise of easy money sprinkled into polite society?  Most people pick easy money every time because they abandon the concept of law and order due to the lure of temptation.  And their entire lives then become compromised in every way that they exist, and there is no hope for them.  Then, until a society realizes that it needs to construct a morality based on an eternal view of existence, there is no other means to regulate a society intent on justice, fairness, and productivity.

The Definition of War: Yes, there are many enemies at war with America, and us

Before you can fix something, you must admit there is a problem.  One of the concealment strategies utilized against our nation is the reality of what has been done to us.  No matter what level of evil we are talking about, which I would say is innate and subconscious, well beyond the scope of human interaction, reality is well-defined if you apply the correct definitions to things.  And that is that America has been at war with many characters who run various groups intent on our destruction, and it’s been that way from the beginning.  And like the Trojan Horse of Troy, the villains purposefully disguised their efforts to catch us all off guard, and they have done that by hiding their malice behind polite society.  And the war they have declared on us resided beyond our social definitions of human behavior.  But yes, we have to understand what’s been happening to us with definitions that matter, and that is grappling with the concept of war and the fact that our enemies are numerous and vicious.  And they are plotting our doom moment by moment and quickly if they can’t make a lot of money off us.  They seek to destroy us for all we’re worth.  Classically, the definition of war is “to overcome the enemy’s will to resist.”  As I saw the stock market results for the second week of May 2024, I didn’t see good news for 401Ks and family planning.  I saw a strategy to put people back to sleep because Joe Biden is losing in the upcoming election, and the enemies of America are attacking our culture with a clear strategy to remove our desire to resist what it is they want to do to America, and that is to convert our entire culture to globalism, Chinese communism style.  And the stock market is just one of their many weapons in the ways that the world is at war with America, and us as its caretakers. 

This is money created through inflation. Not the actual profit of true value. Fake money printed by the Fed to protect Biden from the reality of horrendous fiscal policy in an election year.

Now I get it; people just walking their dog and thinking of a two-for-one special at their local smorgasbord think of war as our involvement in Vietnam.  Or, Iraq.  War involves military action by governments intent on that purpose.  In the past, a general representing a nation or some other sovereignty directed soldiers on a battlefield toward suppressing the enemy and designing victory from a surrender once an overwhelming force had been established and utilized toward victory parameters. Upon such wins, people fly their flags and feel good about their nation’s victory against other countries, much the way we think about sports teams that we cheer on who win.  In that way, war is thought of as something that happens “over there” and is done by “other people.”  We don’t think of ourselves and our lives as being at war because our enemies use the concealment of the true definitions of things to perform their malice.  One way to do so is to subdue people away from their defense of a nation by changing their definitions of what war actually is and why people would be or would not be interested in having war to defend something they value.  The enemies of America, as we have seen often recently, overtly out in the open, is to destroy our desire to resist anything, such as in the transgender movement where even the concept of a boy and a girl is in dispute.  To our enemies, it’s not the sexuality involved that is the issue but the ability to corrupt even simple definitions so that significant attacks are never seen by a society that has lost its ability to have a conceptual faculty.

For instance, the good news that is not such good news on the Dow Jones closing at over 40,000 for the first time in history is a kind of Trojan Horse intent to sneak the enemy deeper into our culture while disguising it as something beneficial to us.  Many people do not realize how powerful BlackRock as a financial institution is in the performance of this scandal, which is relatively simple.  The Federal Reserve, through monetary easing using a clear strategy of Modern Monetary Theory, is doing precisely what crime syndicates have done since the beginning of time, and what is happening now with the war machine pumping large amounts of money into Ukraine behind a fake, and provoked war effort with Russia, and that is to wash illegal money through a legitimate business to give it the illusion of validity.  Not to mention that this practice is the cause of inflation, which is too much money chasing too few goods, and that even with more money in your pockets, it is worth less in what it can buy.  The sudden jump of the Dow over 40,000 isn’t about making money but printing more to represent the same value at a much lower value.  But it’s all disguised to give the illusion of profit by hiding the inflation behind a historic milestone.  In this case, the Fed dumped money into BlackRock and other Wall Street firms to have them distribute the money as if it were real into the economy through person-to-personal investments in the form of 401Ks and other financial strategies to prop up the economy with fake numbers to help Biden not take the blame for the impact that globalism has had on American sovereignty. 

This financial game is just one way in which the enemies have sought to suppress American understanding of the war that has been conducted against them.  Another means of such vile menace is in pornography.  Through the internet, porn has been made accessible to the public to weaken our resolve toward a just and moral society.  By attacking those values and the family creation that often comes from successful family relationships and the production of children who are healthy and independent, the governments of the world have purposely sought to corrupt our intellects so that we wouldn’t be able to resist them in war.  But would instead be addicted to vices of destruction meant to take away our will to resist their intentions.  When you understand how “they” are attacking us, you can know that much of what we do and what happens to us is the result of war, and the intentions of our enemies are pretty vicious and maniacal.  Most of what we experience daily is an act of war against us hidden behind definitions meant to conceal their strategy and keep us from seeing what they have been up to.  And we are stopping them from doing it.  For them, the best thing to do is take away even the reality of seeing what had to happen to resist their desires, which is our destruction, after they have made a lot of money off us in the process.  This has been going on for a long time, and it’s certainly not just a current thing.  Only the plot has been revealed in ways they have lost control of the narrative, and people are talking about it in ways they never dared to before.  But war is our reality, and it’s not something we can hide behind some soldier’s ethical code of battlefield conduct.  This is coming into our homes and neighborhoods disguised in ways we don’t think of as threats of war.  But you can bet they are every bit as such and worse.

Fighting the Uniparty: Appeasing evil only makes it stronger

When Marjorie Taylor Green made a motion to vacate the Speaker seat in Congress, it was more than a cosmetic gesture.  The boos and hisses that commenced when she did so were what she indicated as the “uni party,” a combination of Republicans and Democrats who have joined together to benefit from the offices they were elected to for the power that comes with it and the money that can be made in its wake.  The bottom line is that Johnson has been getting pushed around, letting the Democrats run the House anyway, making Republican majorities just a token footnote.  Democrats want a pacifist like Johnson as Speaker because it allows the Democrats to hide their communist plots behind the responsibility of Republicans, which has been a trick of the “uni party” for many years now.  Remember what I did at the end of the 2020 election when I sat down with everyone and read the works of Cleon Skousen, the old FBI agent who wrote The 5000 Year Leap and The Naked Communist, and I showed you the plan to inject communism into both parties.  And that process became the uni party where Republicans and Democrats essentially divorced themselves from those who elected them and rolled like pigs in the mud to the power and money that came their way by matters of corporate communism.  I mean, what else are you going to call it?  Corporations wanted Chinese-style communism, adopted those measures, used the money to buy off crooked and corrupted politicians, and built a “uni party” to facilitate the Lords of Easy Money.  And poof, you get what we have in Washington, D.C., now.  The kind of people who conspired to get rid of Trump through a government coup.  And a way to keep the easy money flowing with ineffective government and a lack of voter representation. 

But Green had a point, and it was now that Republicans should be demanding authenticity of office, and if Johnson wasn’t going to be the guy, then Republicans needed to find out who it would be.  It doesn’t do any good to elect Trump and put him back in the White House only to have a uni party still in control of the House and Senate.  Sure, on paper, you might show a Republican majority, but that has been all an illusion.  They are not in office to do the people’s work, the way that Marjorie Taylor Green is, or other freedom caucus types.  They are there for the easy money and power from those positions.  And we have to smoke that out before we can even hope to have a government that legitimately works for us again if they ever did.  The other day, I told a good friend as we were talking about lofty things; he’s a powerful politician, and we were contemplating the universe.  I was reflecting on a book I have from the Statehouse of Ohio that I love and what I said about it, “People might fall short of the lofty expectations of government, but at least we try.”  Our government buildings are often better than those of us who fill them as elected officers.  But some do try to live up to those lofty expectations.  Yet many others fall for every temptation that comes their way and seek to make a lot of money off the chaos.  And in essence, that is what the uni party is.  In other ways of making a living, they are worthless.  But the power of government makes them somebodies.  And they exploit it without much coaxing. 

Not that Speaker Johnson is corrupt.  I think he’s a nice guy.  But surrounded by the kind of vipers he is, he’s too nice.  If you want to be the hand of God, you can’t be a wimp.  You have to fight like you want to bring Heaven to earth, not to appease the evil of Hell.  Playing to get along with evil only gives power to evil, and soon, you have a government out of control and running off the rails.   Of course, the media wants a corrupt government because it makes it spicy for them to work in.  Plenty of bread crumbs fall off the table, which they can enrich themselves with as well.  Most media members are lazy, and they are not fighting for the Constitution or God.  They, indeed, aren’t fighting for America.  At best, they are looking for a free drink and an easy bed partner under intoxicated circumstances in a hotel with a half-burnt-out neon light so they can tell the story on Facebook to a bunch of worthless people who could care less other than to gossip about.  The “uni party” is filled with these kinds of people who don’t care that they let down the people who voted for them.  They are missing their moral compass and are always on a quest for easy money, which comes from the various communist forces around the world who want to bring down our country with greed and laziness.  When money is easy, the courage to fight for our country is very low, evident in the creation of the uni party.   Because he’s weak and friendly, Speaker Johnson only facilitates the evil of the uni party as it exists now in Washington, D.C. 

Trump is only part of the puzzle in eradicating that uni party.  We don’t want Democrats and Republicans working together if the Democrats are working for communism and the destruction of our country.  That may not have been what Democrats were over 50 years ago.  But it’s what they are now, and I would say that most Republicans aren’t too far behind.  The 45 Planks of Communism showed in that referred book, The Naked Communist, are very real.  They are motivated by globalist forces to destroy the concept of America, and they exploit weak-minded people to facilitate their aims.  So yes, the “Uniparty,” as it exists, is something we should actively eliminate.  And if we have to have the motion to vacate the Speaker seat yet again, then so be it.  We don’t just need a token Republican majority that will work with Democrats to help destroy our country one policy at a time.  We need people fighting for it and working with Trump to form an America First Policy.  And to take away the power of the Lords of Easy Money, starting with our out-of-control Federal Reserve and its maniacal connection to international finance.  I can promise those bankers are not walking around with copies of our American Constitution that they intend to preserve at all costs. Instead, they have a lift pass for a ski slope in Switzerland on their mind, and as 50-year-old men, they have 22-year-old girlfriends hanging on their every word, perfectly willing to trade sex for an easy life, all hours of the day.  That is the world of the “uni party.”  That is what Speaker Johnson is trying to appease with his soft manner and gentle ways, hoping God will throw him a bone.  No, you must fight for things in this life and stand by good in defeating evil, especially in government and the Uniparty.   They can’t be reasoned with.  They must be destroyed and nothing else.

One Person in Jail is Not Near Enough: Much of what Democrats have done against America, and God, deserves a terminal sentence

In a recent interview, Hillary Clinton was attempting to paint a negative picture of all the people Trump would throw in jail for a revenge tour.  A tour that Democrats have embarked on themselves.  So there is a real fear by her, and many others, that Trump will target them for jail next, once people elected him for a third time to the White House.  The crimes from the coup against Trump are just the tip of the iceberg in denying the people the pick they made for President of the United States in 2020.  All the efforts Hillary Clinton made to destroy the life of President Trump, the corruption by the Obama administration, and, of course, Biden working actively to put Trump in jail for hundreds of years and millions of dollars in fines to keep him off the campaign trail.  These are not the actions of innocent people who know they had 81 million votes and won the presidency legitimately.  These are criminals who broke the law and have attempted to destroy our country and worse.  And now the shoe will be on the other foot, and they are terrified.  Well, when Hillary Clinton says that one person going to jail once Trump is in office and can then put his political rivals in jail for what they have done to him, I would say that one person would not be nearly enough.  As I write this, Steve Bannon, the former Chief Strategist for the President, has lost his appeal and is facing jail time, joining Peter Navarro, another Trump White House official who is currently in jail, put there by hostile Democrats at all levels of society.  Hey, they started it.  But we won’t be happy with just one or two obvious criminals going to jail, I would say it needs to be in the thousands. 

This is no time to feel sorry for any Democrats who have broken the law and are now facing the wrath of Trump.  I personally think Trump is too nice.  He says the right things and, as an executive in business, naturally understands the tough decisions it takes to get things moving in the right direction.  I think during his first term, he should have drawn first blood and put Hillary in jail because they were always going to try to do it to him anyway.  There was no harm in putting them all in prison because that’s where we have been in politics for a long time.  The politeness in politics between political parties has only worked against Republicans because Democrats have a proven track record of brutality.  That is the foundation of their entire political platform, and we have to admit that all gains they have been making are the tactics of Marxism and not American capitalism.  They are hostile to the American way of life and have no intention to preserve our nation well into the future.  They are criminals and cutthroats at best.  So, giving them the benefit of the doubt as Trump did was devastating.  That’s why they thought they could get away with destroying the American economy with Covid by walking into his office and lying to him about a potential death count, where Covid was made, who was involved, and what the plan was all along for socialist lockdowns and a push to more centralized governments all around the world.  They knew behind all the tough talk Trump was a nice guy, and they did what Democrats always do, they take advantage of Republicans who present themselves as suckers. 

I’m sure Trump would not like to have that tag stuck to him, that he was a “sucker” to Democrats.  But he was.  That doesn’t mean I won’t vote for him again in 2024.   Considering the ominous globalist forces at work here, I think he played the game as well as it could be.  I mean, Fusion GPS wasn’t just Hillary Clinton; it involved John McCain, a well-known Republican at the time, and much of the FBI and CIA who were in on destroying an American president with the same kind of vigor that we now know went on behind Kennedy and Nixon, by many of these same types of characters.  American voters were considered not relevant.  And when COVID was made and released during an election year to provide a cover story for a stolen election, which was the plan all along because they knew what the poll numbers said, Democrats had no fear of revenge for being caught doing what they were doing.  They had no concern that what they were doing to people, by the millions, would put them in jail because they had no respect for Republicans in general.  Republicans talk about fairness and justice.   But when the rubber hits the road, they put up with crime and corruption with the best of them.  They do so because they seek comfort in life; they trust that God will be the one who issues judgment, so they stay out of the business.  And since Democrats hate God and seek to destroy religion, replacing it with state power, then Democrats always have an advantage over Republicans.  They don’t confine their evil to their thoughts because they don’t believe there is a God to punish them. 

I view this effort as being the hands of God in this world, and we were created in his image to inflict justice and bring heaven to earth, wherever possible.  And that starts with punishing people who break the law and harm innocent people.  I think absolute ruthlessness in this category is essential to a civil society that functions well.  When bad people do bad things, the righteous should viciously punish them.  But who is the “righteous?”  Well, those who follow God’s law and the Ten Commandments.  Those who are following Biblical principles.  With Trump, it was good that he embraced the Bible when Marxist thugs were attacking a church right outside of the White House and were trying to burn down Washington.  But he should have done more, and I would expect him to know that he has had a lesson in radical Marxist movements who are not cheerleaders for America.  I would like to see the perpetrators executed for treason against our country, not just thrown in jail.  And so many millions of people are involved that they can’t all be punished.  Well, yes, they can all be punished, and if we have it my way, there will be many thousands, if not millions, who will be punished with more than jail time.  I would hope that after all this, Trump would be more ruthless than he was in his first term and that he would not hold back the power of his office to severely punish those who came after him and his administration so horrendously.  I want to see blood paid for these sins by the truckload.  I do not want to forgive and forget; I want to see the enemies of America punished in a way that would discourage all future action.  And I think many Americans feel the same way, especially after watching what they were willing to do to Trump.  Americans don’t want to see the bad guys get away with all this yet again.  And that is a world that Hillary Clinton doesn’t understand.  But I feel they are all about to learn a lesson in justice that will shock the world.  And they deserve everything and then some, that is coming their way.

Democrats are Planning Not to Certify President Trump’s Victory: The domestic enemies of America are vicious and daring us to fight them

Let me explain something to you fools out there: that little show of solidarity that Speaker Johnston and others from Washington showed behind President Trump on May 14th, 2024, is about three years too late.  Sure, it’s better late than never.  But it clearly shows that many people don’t understand the fight we are fighting.  The Democrats are viciously evil.  They are not your friends.  Even as we speak, they are already making plans not to certify the election for President Trump should they win enough seats in Congress to take back the House.  Or, they are counting on enough RINO Republicans to get squishy and vote their way to not certify the election once Trump wins this November, which he is poised to do, and then some.   Yes, remember all that nonsense about Mike Pence doing the right thing, and certifying the 2020 election with the deciding vote, which put Trump out of the White House and gave us this stupid fool, the criminal Joe Biden, who just this week, his daughter proclaimed that the contents of her diary were true, and that she did shower with her dad as a young girl.  This was not a conspiracy theory.  These are bad, horrendous people, and they are playing for keeps.  And they are not planning to give back the reigns of power over a silly little ol’ election where the people pick their favorite representatives.  No, they are plotting and scheming our destruction moment by moment, and they think you are all suckers.  Even as people from the Trump White House are in jail or going to jail, and now, after many years, there are still many January 6th prisoners rotting away with no prospect at being released.  While Republicans sit around looking for fairness.  They play by the rules while the entire Democrat Party platform exists to break them. 

There are a lot of conservatives who have known for a long time that the game is rigged against us, and we are tired of it.  This placating evil thing has not worked out well, and think about what I’m saying here.  With all the spectacle that there was about getting Trump out of the White House, how Democrats used the rules to essentially establish a coup against a popularly elected President.  Knowing that they will lose power by that same voting system, they will attempt to block that certification process at every step of the way.  When Trump wins in November, the election, Democrats are not going to do what Mike Pence did and go through the routine of certifying the electors toward the politician who received the most votes in the electoral college.  They are going to attempt to burn down cities and send illegal immigrants home to home with a show of violence, hoping to cause as much chaos as possible to punish people for not voting for them.  Democrats are like the mobsters of old.  That’s why we don’t hear about the mob anymore; they went from illegal businesses into government, instead of fearing prosecutors.  They became the prosecutors.  They became the members of the House.  They became the President.  And if you don’t obey them, they will cut off a horse’s head and put it in your bed if they think they can get away with it.  They are ruthless, vicious, and plotting maniacal fools.  They are bloodthirsty.  And they have no intention of giving back power over a silly election.  That power will have to be ripped away from them.  And they will have to be punished tenaciously.

They aren’t intimidated by any Republican solidarity that was shown to President Trump forty years too late; they aren’t shaking in their boots.  They are laughing, because they know what they are willing to do, and they know Republicans won’t do it.  You watch.  It will be the day after the election in November of 2024 and the story will be that Democrats are planning not to certify the election of Trump for a number of reasons.  But it will be their only play after all the court attempts to destroy him have failed.  And all the attempts by the media to disparage him will have shown that Trump even won in heavily Democrat areas and that Joe Biden lost the election so badly that Jimmy Carter will have finally lost that title to the word “landslide.”  Everything will have failed for them, and they will have nothing else but to attempt not to certify Trump to the White House.  They will try to tie it up as much as possible, and in many ways nobody has ever seen before.  Because that is their nature.  They are vicious.  And they have every intention of showing their teeth and doing to us what they accused us of thinking of doing when we had the power not to certify the election and send it back to the states to keep Trump in office.  Democrats won’t just talk about it.  They’ll do it.  And they won’t feel one bit guilty about it as they do.  They will force us to fight them in the streets.  They will be happy to destroy our Constitution because they don’t like it anyway.  They are globalists.  They are communists.  They are thugs, liars, cutthroats, and, on a good day, criminals.  And they have no respect for Republicans because they have observed us for a long time and think they can get away with anything.

Way back in 2015, when people laughed about Trump entering the presidential race when he made the now-famous descent down the escalator at Trump Tower, I would explain all this to them, and they would look at me like I was just a disgruntled rebel who wanted a fight.  That our political system was sophisticated and righteous.  And I explained how far gone everything was to anybody who would listen, and they just giggled under their breaths and thought they knew better.  Well, it had to be Trump for all the reasons we have been seeing, and only now do people seem to understand these domestic enemies that we know as Democrats, finally.  Only now did Republicans show up to show support for President Trump during his New York trial with Fat Alvin and the gang of communist thugs who are running our judicial system there.  Punishment for the crimes that Democrats put forth and intend to utilize in the months to come can only go one way.  It has to be ruthless.  You can’t sit around crying about it, about unfairness, and how sad it is.  You have to get tough.  And you have to be willing to fight it out.  And when Democrats try to steal this election, too, as they did in 2020 when dumb Republicans thought that the real value was in following the rules and preserving our system of a peaceful transfer of power.  When Democrats refuse to leave the White House and all the other power positions they’ve managed to capture, they will dare us into violence, knowing we don’t have the stomach for it.  Which is why it will be likely that it will be our only option.  They’ll make it that way, and as we contemplate that inevitability, they are plotting our destruction with every breath of every word of insurrection that can be applied against the United States of America.  Because they don’t care about the country or its survival.  They only want more power so they can commit more crimes.  That is what we are dealing with, and that’s probably too nice.

Roger Reynolds Has His Conviction Overturned on Appeals: When people like Fat Alvin use the power of government to destroy political rivals

It was a rigged, political case in Butler County. And the prosecutors wasted a lot of tax money on a personal hit job.

I wish people would listen.  I feel like that frustrated parent who has all the answers but has to stand by and watch their kids make dumb mistakes that cause them much pain and suffering anyway.  And if you care about everyone, it can be a harrowing experience.  But essentially, from the beginning, the prosecution against Roger Reynolds, the popular Butler County Auditor, was as flimsy of a case and motivated by the same intentions as the Fat Alvin case in New York against President Trump.  These are purely political cases where the prosecutors are trying to use legal warfare to take out political rivals.  In this case, it was elements of the Republican Party in Butler County, even extending into the Attorney General of Ohio to exert power and position within the party.  It had nothing to do with any actual crimes committed.  Roger Reynolds found himself having the law used against him in a weaponized format, something that happens more often than people would like to think, over disagreements regarding family connections and how tax money is spent, just theorizing on such spending.  And for that Roger Reynolds has had to pay a fortune in legal bills, lose over three years of his life professionally, during his prime income-building years, and was popularly elected into a very powerful auditor position only to be removed from office because of a conviction on a last minute charge tossed over the fence to attempt to get anything to stick against him to get a jury to put him in jail for 30 days and ruin his political career for the rest of his life.  The case had nothing to do with justice but everything to do with power, who controls the legal system, and how they can then use it to take out political rivals.  And nothing more.

On Monday, May 13th, 2024 after many years of fighting for his innocence, a 10th District Court of Appeals in Columbus reversed the conviction against Roger Reynolds from a few years earlier, bringing somewhat to an end the long ordeal that started for him back during Covid when some of the people from Roger’s office as auditor stopped coming to work over Covid rules.  Now I get Roger’s position. I’ve talked to him about it, and I am even more traditional regarding the COVID rules for employment.  Doctors don’t run our economy and when they stuck their noses into our business with all these new globalist Covid rules, they were way over the line.  It was the job of science to figure out how to stop COVID-19 and its spread with science.  Not to shut the world down with a bunch of new rules to establish a new normal.  And some of these kids then, and now, thought that meant they could all work from home to avoid spreading the virus.  When Roger had to deal with that trend in his office, he let people go for not coming to work, and that made people mad.  People then promised their family members that they had the power of the law at their back and could get revenge on Roger.  At that point, an attendance issue then became a big labor one where communist policies seep into the assumptions of a government workforce, and the power of government is then weaponized against that assumption. 

At that point, Sheriff Jones made it his mission to go after Roger Reynolds, spend money on investigations, and waste a lot of money in court proceedings to destroy Roger Reynolds’s life in court.  Many different charges were thrown in Roger’s way, with the power of the Attorney General being added to the mix, trying to make the former auditor look like a corrupt official who had abused his power of office for personal gain.  But nothing was sticking, and Roger was found innocent of all charges.  At the last minute, this issue with Lakota schools and a country club golf connection came up, and Roger suggested to the treasurer that some tax money being returned to the school be applied to a venture that he thought would be a good idea.  It was just a discussion about how to spend tax money.  But Sheriff Jones and the prosecutors threw the weight of their office to destroy the life of Roger Reynolds in precisely the same way that Fat Alvin has been doing to Trump.  Over the last few years, we’ve seen it happening more and more as these same tactics have been used nationwide.  It has been the collision of why people pursue big government jobs to have immense power over innocent people, which is the problem.  When government is sought and used to give power to people who otherwise wouldn’t have it, abuse of government then becomes the subject, and the warning of why we never want to give any people, no matter who they are, too much power through government to abuse others over a quest for power.  In most cases, even if the prosecutors get a conviction, they are being overturned on appeals.  But by the time a defendant spends years trying to prove their innocence, their lives are destroyed in the process.  So, even if they don’t go to jail, they are destroyed in the process.  Now that Roger Reynolds has had his conviction overturned, where does he go to get his reputation back?

I am proud to call Roger Reynolds a friend through all this.  I’ve told him this when I’ve seen him throughout this process.  I am proud of how tough he has stayed in proving his innocence.  I want to see him get back into elected office and do good work because when political enemies see you as that much of a threat, I want to see people like Roger sticking it to those powers to keep things honest.  I would hire Roger Reynolds before and after this appeals ruling because Roger is one of the good guys.  And in a world run by evil and malicious people, like Fat Alvin in New York is against Trump, they are the ones who need to be punished and be fired from government work whenever possible.  I remember the day the indictments came down against Roger and the people who called me to talk about it, very haughtily.  These were small-government conservatives who were impressed with Sheriff Jones’s power to drum up charges to essentially take down a rival within the Republican Party.  And I was surprised how many people played along with it because it was wrong.  I knew it was a crooked case from the beginning because I knew all the people involved and understood the rivalry in ways that weren’t reported in the media.  But what surprised me was how vicious the ordeal became, where the lawyers were the only ones who profited.  They are pleased to have millions of dollars wasted on their services over an issue that essentially was just a family rivalry within a political party.  And this is why we must always watch how people use government power, and why we can’t give too much of it to any one person.  Because they can’t handle the temptation to abuse it.  However, in the case of Roger Reynolds, he was always innocent of those ridiculous charges.  And it’s fantastic that the appeals court saw the case for what it was and reversed the conviction.  Justice still works, even if it takes a while, and a lot of money has to be spent on it to get it.  Let’s go back to dueling, as I say more often.  It was a lot cheaper, and the real bad guys usually went away, saving taxpayers a lot of money in the future.

Process Efficiency Through Fast Draw Shooting Sports: How to eliminate communism from any culture

There is a root cause of big government and communism in general, and it essentially all comes down to laziness.  The best hedge a country could have to protect itself from communism is an emphasis on hard work and personal improvement.  If you have an efficient society where personal conduct is rewarded, you will have a better society generally.  And they will not vote for communism and all the various follies of Marxism.  I have figured out that over time by participating in Cowboy Fast Draw, particularly a great group of people I have known for quite a while, many years before I started shooting with them, The Ohio Fast Draw Association.  I think of it as one of the best sports that the human race has come up with, but in making it an actual sport that has very rigid rules and regulations, as most shooting sports do that involve real guns and ammunition, the drive toward speed and accuracy has created a window into the purity of human intellect that I find endlessly fascinating.  And that’s what was on my mind as my wife and I had a wonderful meal at the Punderson Manor overlooking one of the deepest lakes formed by glaciation near downtown Cleveland, Ohio.  We were camping across the lake and preparing for one of the first Fast Draw competitions of the year just a few miles to the north, and economic systems and process efficiencies were most on my mind as I thought about current events over pork covered in honey and garlic sauce.  Out of all the educational institutions and means of human intellect, I think the best representation of efficiency matched with risk formed out of Cowboy Fast Draw and America’s fascination with Western arts and entertainment. 

It was something most obviously revealed during Covid, which we all know now was created in a Wuhan lab and released by China and a lot of other nefarious governments for a Great Reset by the World Economic Forum to spread communist-style government micromanaged by a massive, leftist, Administrative State.  And so many companies and governments were ready to jump on and sign us all up for it by a media poised to spread the news as fast as television broadcasts could put up death graphs on the side of their visuals.  This was the theme of my 2021 book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, which I wrote and published during the first year of the Biden presidency, on the heels of the most ostentatious takeover by governments over private industry using Covid as their excuse.  But I wasn’t happy just pointing it out; I wanted to understand why human beings did this to themselves because that is where the real answers to life are.  That is why people were so quick to wear masks during the Covid crises, which were artificially created.  More specifically, when you look at a process for a big company, you will find that they have too many administrative employees and entirely too many rules.  Incompetent people use rules and large administrative practices to hide their incompetency from the eyes of a competitive world.  And you really don’t see that in people until you hang around people addicted to speed like there are in Cowboy Fast Draw events.  Human beings create a lot of rules and drag on any innovation system because they are timid and weak as personalities who look to shield themselves from risk through legislation.  And it is those kinds of people who make governments restrictive and crave communism and the security of a perpetual nanny state.

Of course, the sport of fast draw, especially The Ohio Fast Draw Association that I shoot with several times a year, is to shoot at a target when a light flashes on it and to draw a .45 caliber single action pistol with a wax bullet, as fast as you can from a holster at various distances.  What I like about the Ohio Fast Draw guys is that they have a variety of combat scenarios that are part of their competitions, and it forces you to find the fastest means to achieve the objective within some rigid rules that are always part of shooting sports.  The endeavor aims to manage risk and competence toward the stated goal.  Not to run and hide from it, as most organizations do where this problem of individual merit isn’t addressed.  In my real life, outside of shooting sports, which I consider a real vacation from the sluggish minds of bureaucracy and considerable government inefficiency, I would say that most people have some element of timidity in them that is open to government expansion over improved processing, I see how a lack of management over personal risk drags the world down in unhealthy ways.  People love their rules, their regulations, and their slow rate of completion in things because they are terrified of the actual responsibility of accomplishment.  At Cowboy Fast Draw events, all people generally agree that the goal is to shoot fast, hit the target, and find the most efficient process to perform the task.  That means drawing the gun from my holster in fractions of a second and shooting as soon as the barrel clears the leather.  There is no hiding the intent behind process rules disguised to protect the incompetent from the expectations of performance.  And I never get enough of it.  There are usually six or more events per year, and I always get a lot out of all of them, but what I get most is time away from the sluggish people of the world and their slow obsessions with administrative practices that hide their grotesque lives from competitive expectations. 

Since my last competitive event with these Ohio Fast Draw guys, I have been to Japan twice to deal with real-world issues of efficiency and competence necessity.  In Japan, they do not run from competitive expectations; they fully embrace them as a mass culture.  They are not in love with the process flow that protects themselves from competitive expectations, which is part of their samurai culture that is still alive and well there.  As my wife and I ate our meal and looked out over that lake, this was May of 2024, and my last competition was September of 2023. During that time, I had a chance to observe Japanese culture up close and personal, including how they eat.  Many lights came on for me as to the cause of human society leaning toward communist governments and why corporations of all kinds were so quick to do so.  Those elements of the fast draw and Japanese society painted across the current events of our times revealed a nasty sentiment holding back the human race for many years.  But the sport of fast draw had purged it out and away from its hiding places, and I have found myself obsessed with the results.  It was the root cause behind all the Lean work that had been developed in Japan with the Toyota efficiency standards, into why people behaved the way they did when work was presented to them, and responsibility for success fell on their shoulders.  It would take America’s gun culture to match up with the most successful economy in the world to evolve the sentiment, which I always cherish at competitive shooting events that tell more than just the story of American tradition.  But peel back the veil to the most wonderful elements of human intellect, the ability to use risk to produce efficiency and innovation that otherwise would never come to be.
