The Rest of the Story: Brian Thomas falls to the dark side

It’s time for a Paul Harvey moment with this West Chester Tea Party story.  After the horrendous hit job by Brian Thomas on 55 KRC, where he took the word of a very politically motivated rabbi at face value and joined in the condemning of that long-time group for antisemitism, there is, of course, a lot more going on.  The West Chester Tea Party and I’ve known them for a very long time, is a free speech group, and what we have going on with Rabbi Ari Jun is an attempt to capture speech as he defines it.  We have been seeing this a lot lately and the root cause all points back to one person, and one event: Lynda O’Conner deciding to run for school board for another term when she has been grotesquely unpopular over the last few years as she has gone after Darbi Boddy, a fellow school board member that she has been trying to have removed since the very beginning of her term.  The Rabbi is just playing his part in trying to politicize free speech, which I am surprised that Brian Thomas played along with.  But then again, maybe not.  The accusation is that a popular speaker who has done some excellent work, Harold Ziegler, went down the rabbit hole a bit historically at a recent West Chester Tea Party meeting and this Rabbi was tipped off to the contents, which talked about the Rothschilds being Jewish people who control banking and other conspiracies that are deemed off-limits by the big government crowds who want to use Chinese style communism to use speech to steer society in the direction that they decide is appropriate or not.  That should be very clear to Brian Thomas, so it was quite surprising that he didn’t provide any pushback on the Rabbi during their hit piece interview, where they rejoiced that the West Chester Tea Party lost their meeting venue over this controversy, a victory against free speech that Rabbi Jun was clearly aiming for.

Many people don’t know their history and use the same buzzwords as progressives regarding racism.  There are words you can or can’t say and these people in positions of institutional authority will decide what those things are; Rabbi Jun thinks he’s one of them, working on behalf of Lynda O’Conner, which leads us to the rest of the story, as I can fill in the blanks based on my knowledge of the people involved.  They will never admit to these things, but based on my history with Lynda, it’s pretty clear what’s happening.  A few weeks ago there was a meeting in Liberty Township, a Meet the Candidates event that Lynda was supposed to come to.  She declined, and I will provide a video of some tough questions going in her direction.  Lynda had another invite, which is traditional for the West Chester Tea Party, to have all the candidates for Lakota come and answer questions from the public.  Lynda has had a relationship with the West Chester Tea Party for over a decade, so she knows how things go, they would be more complex questions than she would get at the Voice of America candidate forum, which she prefers because establishment politics controls it.  What’s the best way to get out of having to appear? Well, to destroy the forum, which is what the Rabbi did for Lynda by using politically sensitive speech to attempt to destroy them as an organization. 

Yet to say that the Rothchild family isn’t up to no good would be to avoid the truth.  Just because they happen to be Jewish is not the issue.  But many criminals and globalist manipulators hide behind social safety nets of controlled speech to continue their crimes, and the control of the finance industry by the Rothchild family is a known condition that inspires much debate.  And that debate is healthy to keep the bad guys in the world in check.  So even though the Rabbi didn’t like the things that the West Chester Tea Party was talking about, he doesn’t have some social right to destroy them, even if it’s for a friend running for school board.  But that’s what happened; even 55 KRC played their part.  It is exciting to see how desperate all these entrenched political players are willing to abuse Constitutionally guaranteed rights for their own acquisition of power.  It’s exciting because it is revealing a truth about these people that I have been warning about for decades, and now they are desperate and showing where all the strings to the puppets go.  I love the Jewish people and have said it many times.  Jesus was a Jew; we have the Bible because of the Hebrew people.  Yet the Bible is a story of the Jewish people failing in the eyes of God and always falling short.  So, talking about those shortcomings, even if they fail to serve a higher cause and find themselves monopolizing international finance, isn’t dialogue forbidden from discussion.  Instead, we should be talking about it because it’s the only accurate checks and balances in society to keep the bad guys from doing worse.  The assumption that Rabbi Jun is making, which Brian Thomas backed up, is that if people are of a particular religious order, then the assumption is that they are doing good in the world instead of using that order as a mask for misconduct. 

Of course, batching everyone into the same category doesn’t account for the variability of human behavior, which free speech then should sort out, and the burden to prove otherwise falls on the accused.  And the Babylon trouble of modern factions dusting off the old pantheon of Mesopotamian gods isn’t a conspiracy; it’s at the heart of the climate change movement.  It’s the same battle God was frustrated with in the Bible, predating much of the biblical history that we tend to concern ourselves with.  The worship of Baal, Moloch, and Ishtar is at the heart of progressive politics, so the West Chester Tea Party references were made in that spirit, which is certainly worth discussion.  But we see the rules of politics being rewritten to penalize a group that wanted to broadcast the truth about the various school board candidates.  And because some nasty stuff was uncovered over the last few years, political candidates are trying to remove as much transparency as possible because they can’t hope to be elected any other way.  The goal of this event was to destroy the West Chester Tea Party forum to attempt to control a narrative that didn’t help the current political order.  And because the story is so bad for the incumbent candidates, they are trying to destroy anybody who might question them publicly, which is what the aggression from the courts toward Darbi Boddy is all about.  We see an abuse of power exposed through desperation to control an evil narrative.  And the willingness to manipulate speech to become weaponized against political rivals shines a light on the problem.  But only if you understand the rest of the story, that this West Chester Tea Party story is about one thing, and one thing only.  It was not a controversial speaker who asked questions about Jewish conspiracies.  But a political establishment that is trying to hold onto power through the destruction of the Bill of Rights because they never believed in it, to begin with.  And they are being exposed for what they were all along.

Why Not Lynda and Isaac: I’d rather vote for Democrats because at least you know what you are getting

It has not been very pleasant. I have been traveling a lot across the world, and at each airport stop once arriving back into cell phone coverage, I have been flooded with text messages and calls wondering why I still defend the Lakota school board member Darbi Boddy and do not have the same kind of sympathy with current school board president, Lynda O” Conner, and member Isaac Adi. I understand the concerns, but neither Lynda nor Isaac are conservatives, and you know what I always say. I love all Republicans until they show me that they aren’t. There isn’t a situation where Lynda and Isaac give the illusion of a conservative school board. At the point I’m at now, I’d instead remove the illusion and let the Democrats have it so we can hang them on all the problems later. Playing this game with Lynda and Isaac is lying to ourselves, and I see no point in doing it. All it does is cause further brand damage to the Butler County Republican Party brand. My view on these silly disputes is that they are small-minded, who in their right mind cares about power on the school board except for people who don’t bring much value to anything else in their lives. Watching what Lynda has been willing to do to achieve such silly power has disappointed me. The school board is a part-time gig at best. It should never generate the kind of political games from Lynda’s camp, and I cannot support her or those propping her up. I have given them a chance. I’ve worked with Lynda, and that picture Isaac Adi has with Jim Jorden is one that I took. I have tried to help all of these people. But only one hasn’t lied to me, at least that I know of yet. And that is Darbi Boddy. The rest of them have been horrendous, and if that’s the best we get, we might as well vote for Democrats.

This coming from a guy whose son was sentenced to life in jail for pedophilia.

I’ve heard a thousand times, that Darbi lied to everyone during the vetting process, and represented herself as a calm, collective, friendly person willing to play ball. I’ve heard from even friends of hers that Darbi engages in personal outbursts and is very aggressive. I had experience with Darbi before she was elected, and I have had several complex discussions with her since; I can say that she has always been honest, even very Christian, much more so than I initially thought. She has values and she defends them. And she has never been crazy or violent around me, and maybe she had a right to be. I always liked Darbi Boddy, but I like her much more now after two years in office than I did the year leading up to the election where she and Isaac ran together as an endorsed Republican Party ticket. Darbi has been my favorite among all the people I have dealt with on the Lakota school board over the last decades. I don’t think she misrepresented herself during the fundraising and campaign stage. I think what happened was that Lynda used her to get the vote for the school board president position then quickly turned against her when the mask debates were getting heavy during Darbi’s first month after being sworn in. And that betrayal hurt her, and it has only gotten worse since, not because of Darbi, but the behavior of the other school board members.

Showing they have control of power while real crimes are abundant without their attention

You might have heard in the news that Isaac Adi won his restraining order against Darbi Boddy in court, where Lynda was nearby blowing on the fire to help it burn. Lynda is the one who lied and misrepresented what she was up to. Isaac indeed misrepresented himself to me and I am excessively disappointed in him. Darbi has not disappointed me. Lynda has. Isaac has. And the rest of the characters fall somewhere along those lines. My policy in all things in life is that I’ll give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but once I find out you’ve lied to me, it’s over. And it’s over forever. There is no forgiveness. So that is why I still support Darbi Boddy but am very much against Isaac Adi and Lynda O’Conner. Everyone knows that I do not like Julie Shaffer, one of the other school board candidates. Despising her is a more accurate term. I would vote for her before I would Lynda O’Conner because I think Julie is more honest, and at least I know what kind of Democrat radical I am dealing with. They all register as Republicans, but their actions always tell the truth about them. After watching that mess, which likely will be overturned on appeal, the protective order against Darbi from Isaac because his little feelings have been hurt by how aggressive she is, I’m willing to call it a day on the whole election for the Lakota school board. Think how absurd all this is; Sheriff Jones is threatening to arrest Darbi to help his buddies on the school board when he can’t even arrest all the people showing an interest in abusing children which caused all this trouble to begin with. All those who have helped Lynda will have to learn a hard lesson. Don’t call me because I will tell you I told you so. Out of all these characters the only one who has consistently told me the truth has been Darbi, which is why I still support her and have nice things to say about her. She has been very respectful to me, my wife, and conservative politics. And that is supposed to be what we are all fighting for.

Hey, everyone only has themselves to blame. Around 20 great young people wanted to run for political office, and the Republican party could have gotten younger with fresh people with long shelf lives.  What will Lynda do? Give Butler County 4 more years, of what?  And will Isaac be the future of the Butler County Republican Party?  He’s getting restraining orders against women!  People like Darbi make people want to go out and vote Republican, and several people like her would be good.  However, the Party decided to pick controlled assets they felt more comfortable with rather than people who would make the party better and represent the voters of Butler County.  Lynda and her gang have played the game of personal destruction and the damage left in the wake is her fault, and those who helped her along—trying to talk me into throwing Darbi in as an equal failure would be dishonest.  I think Darbi has every right to be upset at everyone who has been terrible to her.  People of value often find that their feelings get hurt, and she’s disappointed in other people.  Not the other way around.  With all that, it should be pretty simple why I support Darbi Boddy.  I would love to see a school board with four more like her.  But that won’t be the case this time around; Lynda is the one who went against the plan and misrepresented to everyone what she wanted.  And I’m not OK with that.  Darbi, in my experience, was a good person who was easy to work with until she was sabotaged with an effort a few months into her term to be removed from office.  And that kind of personal sabotage is just another form of election fraud.  The voters picked Darbi.  Lynda and others have worked to undo that election, and that is the worst of the worst in my book.  And why Darbi is not in the same boat as Lynda and Isaac.  And why I support her and not them.

Judas Pence and the Siren Songs of Populism: People expect Republicans to win, not to be controlled opposition

Of course, the answer to Mike Pence’s comment on the siren song of populism, which has so well defined precisely who he is, is that those aren’t beautiful women posing as conservatives trying to lure well-intentioned people to the rocks of their destruction.  No, those utterances toward populism result from many years of lies by a party, the Republicans, who pretended to be a small government party but are no different from the Democrats.  I could say that about my own Republican Party in my town, but that’s not a new story.  I’ve been dealing with this balancing act since Ross Perot ran for president, and I supported him because I would never get behind the CIA. George Bush or his haphazard son, “W.”  Ronald Reagan was pretty good for a while before his assassination attempt, and after the party establishment started getting to him, he was much less effective during his second term.  Then we had the Clinton years and the fake government shutdowns.  When my wife had a chance to meet Newt Gingrich at a Republican Party event a few years ago, she refused to shake his hand because she was still mad at Newt for caving to Clinton when Republicans had him on the ropes and could have saved a lot of us a lot of grief.  No, populism is a much bigger story than just some fad.  It’s more than a movement and undoubtedly more sophisticated than some siren song attached to lustful desire and short-term gratification. 

Populism is a political strategy that seeks to appeal to the interests and concerns of ordinary people, especially those who feel that the established political and economic elites are not meeting their needs. It often involves rhetoric that frames the people as opposed to a corrupt or self-serving elite and emphasizes the importance of direct democracy and the people’s will. However, populism can also be controversial and divisive, and its effects on society and politics depend mainly on how it is used and by whom.  The conservative tether that Pence is talking about is a leftover idea fresh off of wins during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 when the Constitution was still new and victorious wars rallied people to the value.  But this Republican Party that Mike Pence is talking about is like some Dallas Cowboys fan still wearing a Super Bowl shirt from the ’70s or ’90s.  It would be best if you kept winning, guys.  You have to earn respect; it doesn’t just grow on trees.  And that is the problem with Mike Pence’s view of what conservativism is.  Conservatives have been the turn-the-other-cheek party, the party of losers.  Who cares what your principles are if you will always get your ass kicked?  That’s not good for branding.  And because they have been soft on everything, corruption has grown into a maddening contraption.  People want wins, and the Republican Party has not given it to them.  Instead, they have been happy to lose, and people are tired of it. 

I remember it well: the night before the election in 1992, I was at the Ross Perot headquarters in Dallas, Texas, getting gifts from his daughters and enjoying the patriotism of a hard-fought campaign.  Many people were mad at me for not supporting George Bush, the elder.  I was proud that Perot got 19% of the vote then.  But I hated Clinton so severely that I supported Bob Dole four years later.  He turned out to be pretty smart; he would become a big Trump supporter.  He was a pretty good guy, even if it took him most of his life to figure it out.  I supported John McCain, and he lost to the communist Obama.  And a few years after that, I supported Mitt Romney, and I remember how it was in 2012.  A bunch of people who thought they had conservative ideas all figured out.  One of John Boehner’s proudest moments was bringing the Pope to the congressional floor as Speaker of the House, as he cried like a baby at just about everything.  Republicans have been like that football team that always loses but are in your hometown, so you support them unquestioningly, like some fool who accepts losers.  That’s not how it’s supposed to be.  Especially when the Democrats have shown such a propensity for evil.  Going back to the Perot election to be in Downtown Cincinnati with many political influencers and watching Clinton give his concession speech was a real gut punch.  Would Bush have been better?  No, Clinton only accelerated the eventual drive toward populism.  As would Obama and now Biden.  Populism would come along regardless because defending the Constitution would require political victories, and nobody was promising that until Trump came along.  And that’s where things stand today.  Americans were hungry for an American First party and wanted it to be Republicans, the Party of Lincoln, the party that freed the enslaved people.  And the party of small government.  Other people allowed globalism to seep into the mix and ruin the character of America as a nation.  They did so by deceit, and people know that now. 

Americans want more than a tailgate party from their Republican Party.  They want to win and destroy the evil Democrats.  To truly stand for small government and to be fiscally responsible.  We now have a band of thieves who run the Beltway culture with lobbyists and overpaid consultants.  And it makes people sick to see.  They want victory and are turning to populism to give it to them.  People like Judas Pence sold out our country, allowed an election to be stolen, and are trying to put the country back in the hands of the people who screwed it up in the first place.  And people aren’t going to stand for it.  I am surprised to see how quickly Republicans in my region have forgotten, and it’s obvious they probably never understood the Trump years.  They were holding their nose and hoping for a return to the low expectations of party politics and controlled opposition.  But that’s never what I signed up for.  I was always a populist and more than that, I expected to win.  Not just once or twice but every time.  And unless my political party is committed to that, I’m not with them.  I will work against losers every time.  This is why Mike Pence, with all his years in politics, should know better.  Yet he didn’t, and he said those words against populism anyway, showing he learned nothing in all those years with Trump.  None of that magic dust rubbed off on him.  Is he happy to be a loser so long as he stands by conservative ideas, even if they are always just ideas and not a reality?  No, people want winners in their lives, and without victory, populism will take on a life of its own.  And if Republicans aren’t committed to winning, they aren’t committed to conservative ideas.  Because they have to be willing to fight for those ideas, and fighting means winning.

The Devil Went Down to Georgia Because He Had an Election to Steal: But now its our turn to play

The devil went down to Georgia because he was looking for an election to steal; he was in a bind because he was way behind and willing to make a deal.  So he found Governor Kemp, who was a Never Trumper, and many others and through a combination of electronic voting machines and COVID rules, they allowed for massive cheating to occur, which gave Joe Biden just enough votes to win the state.  It was a rigged election before it even started; everyone knew what they were going to do before election day, and that was to keep counting votes until Joe Biden won.  It didn’t matter to them if it was legal or the ballots represented real people.  And in the end, they were caught.  Like the famous Charlie Daniels song where the Devil plays a little music in a bet for Johnny’s soul, he thought he had done enough to win.  But after his band of demons and their utterances from Hell played their song, it’s time for us all to say, “That’s pretty good son, but why don’t you sit down in that chair right there and let us show you how it’s done.”  It’s our turn and it’s not looking good for the bad guys.  This is why Kemp was able to secure the election for his second term immediately after all this controversy.  Remember when the MLB All-Star game was pulled from Atlanta and sent to Denver over protests due to election law?  And that Kemp was disenfranchising minority votes?  Yeah, right, Democrats were upset because they knew the same thing Kemp knew: Democrats had a cheating scam going on, and they were allowed to use it to knock off Trump, and other MAGA senators in Georgia in 2020 and early 2021.  But Kemp won re-election easily, Stacy Abrams wasn’t even able to come close once the election laws were tightened up.  And that is the dirty little secret that the evil that has taken over Georgia doesn’t want anybody to know about. 

The Devil in this case is the George Soros money and the influence of the globalist investment that put District Attorney Fani Willis in charge of the law, a known Marxist radical intent to destroy adherence to Constitutional protections in large municipalities.  We see this strategy all over America as part of a more significant effort to overthrow the American Constitution with case law that erodes its limits on private people.  In Georgia, the devil is playing its little song and has attempted to throw 19 different people into essentially one election conspiracy case, accusing them of trying to overthrow the election results distributed by the Georgia government where the Never Trumpers and radical Marxist Democrats pulled together to destroy Trump wholesale, or so they thought.  But it’s a case that’s all bark and no bite, a shot-in-the-dark prayer for the global communists to show that free speech can get you thrown in jail for going against the official narrative of a government.  The prosecution intends to convince a jury of Fulton County Democrats, which, on the surface, might look easy, that free speech can be a crime. Still, the reality is a different story: the official narrative of a government reporting agency, such as election results, can’t be questioned. If it is, you can be jailed for attempting to overthrow an election.  It’s like the Devil going to Georgia and not allowing Johnny to play his song to defend his soul or have a chance to win a golden fiddle.  Only the devil gets to play, and nobody else gets an opportunity to challenge him.

Well, you might not have heard that already the case is falling apart; just this week, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell are breaking away from the group and will be held separately on October 23rd, 2023.   The Marxist prosecution by Fani Willis intended to take the Trump support team of 19 different people, put them all in a room, and prosecute them on national television as a kind of mass hanging.  But a judge ruled that Chesebro and Powell would have separate trials, which is no easy task for the prosecution.  In her defense of General Flynn, Sidney has won against the federal government before, so this won’t be an easy song for the trial to play.  It will be more like a buzzsaw for them because it will show how much massive election fraud occurred in Fulton County and how sketchy everything was.  Sidney Powell is not the case that will establish precedence in favor of the prosecution; let me say that.  The Devil thought it had a good song until it had to hold up to the legal scrutiny of reality.  The only hope that Fani Willis had was surprise and brevity by knocking the world on its heels quickly and procuring all these defenses together before anybody had a chance to understand what was happening.  And already, that isn’t going to happen.  The Powell case will exploit the prosecution’s case, and the massive election fraud committed in Georgia during the 2020 election will feed the narrative Trump has been saying in an election year where he is already leading in the polls massively.  The Democrats don’t have an answer, especially if they can’t cheat. 

And in the end, the Devil will have to lay that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny’s feet because he knows that he’s been beat.  And we can all tell him that he can come back and try again because we’re the best there’s ever been.  But honestly, what we will learn from this case is that the Devil will be destroyed because the established case law will set a precedent that the Democrats will not be able to live up to anywhere in the country.  The Constitution will win because it’s meant to limit the powers of government, not give the government more control over individuals.  And like all the George Soros District Attorneys with Marxist backgrounds functioning in the deep blue cities everywhere, their actions are no longer surprising.  And surprise and speed to exploit their victims off balance was all they had.  Because there was election fraud in Georgia, a lot of it.  Trump only needed 11,000 votes, which were probably all in those boxes pulled out from under the tables when election officials shut down the counting that night over a water leak in a bathroom.  The truth that the Devil and his minions are trying to cover up with the force of government is that Trump won easily in Georgia and everywhere else.  Joe Biden didn’t win the 2020 election and failed in Georgia.  The election was stolen.  The Devil played his music and arrogantly thought nobody would ever beat him.  But now it’s our turn to play the music, and in the end, that golden fiddle will be placed at our feet, just like in the song, because the truth is obvious.  The Marxists behind this prosecution have no Constitutional authority to do what they intend, and the fact is getting out despite their efforts to conceal it.  And now it’s our turn to turn the tables on the Devil and his criminal partners, who are now caught.  We will prove in court that this plot by Fani Willis is the same as communist, socialist, and Marxist countries worldwide that have been stealing elections to gain power through digital machines.  In America, they tried it and have been trying to conceal it with the sheer intimidation of the government’s power.  And they are going to lose badly.

The Failures of Globalism: Making corporations the architects of their own destruction

When I think of the Disney brand, I think of shows I grew up with, like Zorro and Davy Crockett.  Those were great family shows that reflected the values of a good and productive society.  And in many ways, this new show on Disney +, Ahsoka, the latest Star Wars television series, is excellent.  But unfortunately, and this is a theme I have been saying for over ten years, Disney is done.  It’s too little too late, and that was obvious when they started making Star Wars movies again, beginning with The Force Awakens, which wasn’t very good.  It was filled with woke garbage and expressed the main problem with Disney buying Star Wars from George Lucas in 2012.  How do you take a movie franchise made by a radically independent person, such as Lucas was, and turn it into a corporate asset filled with emerging woke politics straight out of the World Economic Forum?  The answer is you don’t.  The trouble was evident when they tried to align the production to all kinds of United Nations projects during the filming of The Force Awakens, which was globalism on steroids.  I tried to remain hopeful, but once the film came out and everything that came after, it was obvious that Lucasfilm under Disney would not be as good as Lucasfilm under George Lucas.  Ironically, the Ahsoka series is struggling with itself as part of the plot: how do you overthrow an empire and then become the next established government?  And the answer is that management of anything is hard.  Throwing rocks and having all kinds of romantic ideas about things is easy.  But it’s hard actually to run things once you capture the kingdom.  And that is what is so interesting about the excellent show Ahsoka.  As Grand Admiral Thrawn says in the show, “Make your enemies the architects of their own destruction.”  Globalism has certainly done that to Disney.  It’s an interesting commentary on itself. 

However, this is the lesson for everything that has gone woke, and I do feel sorry for Disney as a company because all corporations that bought into the woke nonsense will go through it.  It’s not just Disney, which is taking major financial hits these days, with the stock price being what it was over a decade ago, and there are no signs of recovering.  It was surreal to watch the train wreck happen, but as a corporation, they were so stupid, so collective based, yet they had all the money in the world to make success happen, yet they couldn’t.  The same could be said of the music industry, fast food, sports, everything.  Disney had a massive media empire, but now the rumors are quite true that they are looking to sell off the losers, things like ABC, ESPN, and many of these satellite companies that have been brand damaged because of woke politics.  The hard lesson is that it’s gone forever once that brand is damaged.  I’ve always been a corporation kind of person because they generate wealth and jobs for people.  I love marketing brands in partnerships, such as with McDonald’s or Coke, which has been common with Disney over the years.  I always love that about Disney World and all their brand alignments.  I love them so long as capitalism is the objective.  Under the woke rules of military implementation of communism through the policies of the World Economic Forum, the goal is to destroy American capitalism through the generators of its wealth.  Disney was one of the first companies to sign up, and it was a horrible decision for them. 

Like the rebellion in the Ahsoka series, Disney is failing to live under its own well-intended rules.  And those rules were that globalism was the future of all civilization.  They were suckered, and they bet billions of dollars on that eventuality.  They thought their brand was so powerful that they would influence the public toward their market needs.  They forgot that the marketplace decides value and that their brand was fragile.  What they thought was robust was only as strong as wet paper. It fell apart in their hands rather quickly.  And the insurgents at the World Economic Forum had planned it that way.  Plotting and scheming the CEOs of all of America’s most giant corporations right in front of their faces, and they all fell for it like a bunch of suckers.  And the public took their dollars with them elsewhere; they didn’t keep spending money on Micky Mouse as Walt Disney envisioned it.  They turned away and moved on to other entertainment options, which is why there is no recovery for Disney as a corporation.  The young people could care less about them, and a good project like Ahsoka isn’t enough to bring them back as fans.  It was too little too late.  The time to make that kind of Star Wars show was back in 2015 because Star Wars essentially became a spokesplatform for globalism, and people were put off by it.  Now, the market has changed completely; smaller media is considered much more valuable because it’s free, and when people see the Disney logo, they think of a big, woke company aligned with political philosophies dangerous to American ideas, which most of the world loves and wants for themselves.  Star Wars would have been better off just putting out the six original George Lucas movies and leaving things be.  But once they tried to expand into corporate control of the brand, they weakened it like sequels usually destroy an original movie idea.  If those ideas aren’t developed in subsequent stories, they burden the original.  And that was something Disney could never wrap their minds around.

I think all corporations that have dipped their toes in the woke rules of globalism will fail or become permanently damaged in the marketplace.  And companies that are anti-woke will see a massive level of support in the coming decades.  I always have a soft spot for Disney because I liked Uncle Walt.  Just like I will always think of George Lucas when it comes to Star Wars, anything done by corporate control might be fun and exciting at times, but it will permanently be damaged goods you can’t trust as a source of art and entertainment because of all the woke inclusions into the story that have now cheapened it forever.  I still think some of the work done at Disney World at Galaxy’s Edge is remarkable from a fan perspective.  It’s science fiction on overdrive if you like expanding ideas and potentials of technology and science, which I do.  It’s a shame that Disney listened to all the wrong people while developing Star Wars under their ownership.  They should have never listened to the wokesters at the World Economic Forum and the terrorists of global economics and their unveiled intentions for communism, China style.  The marketplace was already changing in a way that Disney would have had difficulty adjusting to, but they made it so much harder on themselves and their shareholders with a poor strategic approach that strayed away from accurate economic measures that worked.  So it’s ironic that the new Ahsoka show’s plot deals with this problem, a self-reflection of Disney itself and how good intentions become evil, and disaster always follows.  As they say about Hell, it is paved with good intentions.  And that is certainly the case with all that Disney does these days, and all who took the bait and destroyed themselves as economic, corporate powerhouses that should represent morality and justice as determined by dollars and not woke, globalist insurgents.

Why We Must Be Cautious About the Power of Government: Too often the wrong people gain too much power over their rivals and they abuse it routinely

It doesn’t get talked about nearly as much as it should, but one of the biggest reasons the government should have limited power is due to the tendency toward corruption that those in government tend to be obsessed with.  It’s not just the danger of what a large government can do to those it is supposed to serve but also the annoying obsession that comes from those who discover how they can use it to destroy political rivals, which is just another form of election fraud that is so systemic in our current culture.  It’s not just the political hit on Ken Paxton at the national level that should draw our attention or the antics of the Ukraine War, the lies of the Chinese government regarding the Covid virus release out of Wuhan.  Of the Jack Smith prosecution of Trump, along with the many others who are doing everything with the power of their offices to stop the former president from becoming the next one.  But we see such abuses happening even in our neighborhoods.  For me, in Butler County, Ohio, we have witnessed Sheriff Jones go after political rivals abusing the court system to destroy competing politicians, and we have even seen a school board member from Lakota, Lynda O’Conner, call in the favor of judges to take her rival to court and attempt to destroy their life and manipulate anybody she could in the process to achieve her objective.  I could name off a long list of such instances just in my community, so across the reach of government, this is a genuine problem.  The power that the government can give worthless people.  The more Democrat-oriented the politician, the worse it gets, but government power must be a significant part of our concern.  What will a politician do to acquire strength so they can abuse it for personal reasons? 

I don’t have a lot of personal tolerance when I witness this kind of personal corruption and power of government.  Very few things make me angry more, especially the acquisition of a political office to abuse power over others to sustain some personal failing from the public eye.  I have a lot of people who report their stories of terror to me, from the harassing phone calls when they find themselves on the opposite of an issue from an influential person to the harassment that comes because of the power of government, tampering with financial transactions, digital meters mysteriously falling out of calibration for utility companies, strange people rifling through trash to dig up dirt on their political targets—open threats of violence and vandalism.  You would be surprised what people who want to abuse the power of government will do to harass their political foes.  Very few of them let the process of a republic play out honestly because they seek to abuse the power of government to gain more control; that’s why they are attracted to government in the first place.  They don’t get into government to serve the community; they seek that power to abuse it.  And it is their default mode of operation.  The tendency toward corruption is as abundant as salmon trying to swim upstream to their birthplace.  It’s a standard and is the primary reason we must maintain the smallest government possible.  To prevent such abuses from occurring as frequently as they do.  Knowing that corruption is the destination for most political figures, limited government must inspire them toward honesty because they won’t do it on their own. 

I always say it: I love all Republicans until they show me they aren’t.  Then I don’t like them anymore because, along the political scale, the more big government a person becomes, the less you can trust them as valuable people.  And you certainly can’t trust them with the power of government at their command.  And in my own regional Butler County Republican Party, I do not like to hear people referring to it as corrupt or that it’s like a mob.  That the country club Republicans are a mafia who will exert violence and abuse of the law through legal measures they control to subdue rivals no different than the kind of hits that are known in organized crime.  I have watched several very talented people interested in helping with politics run up against these influential people and see harassment of all kinds come their way, and I explain to them that isn’t how it’s supposed to be.  Many people get involved in politics for all the right reasons, but they soon find that if they don’t appease that mob-like power, they are destroyed in the process and personally harassed in entirely unacceptable ways.  And that’s not how it’s supposed to be.  Our government was designed to serve people, not to subdue them.  Looking for reasons to control the political process so it can be used as a weapon was not how the Constitution should be utilized.  But it’s the primary danger of government; we can’t just make blanket statements about rival political parties when the true villain is the size of the government itself and what weak people will do to gain the power to utilize for all kinds of corrupt reasons.  People wonder why there aren’t more good people in politics; well, it’s because we have accepted levels of corruption due to the size and influence of government that keeps good people out and preserves the power of those who least deserve it.

I even say that politics is a blood sport, and if the rivals want to lose blood, then so be it.  I’m willing to play the game to win in any way necessary.  But should it be that way? Of course not.  That is why limited government should always be our agreed-upon baseline.  The more government power there is, the worse people seek to be in it.  And if we make it profitable for horrible people to gain office, then to keep office, then we shouldn’t be surprised that the process lets us down.  We can complain about it, but what are we doing about it?  Accepting such corruption is not a position any healthy society would accommodate.  It’s all too tempting for people who gain power over others to abuse that power, so for any government that acquires such power, it is common to see them abuse it for personal reasons.  We can laugh about that level of corruption and how ridiculous the people who seek to use it are, but should we laugh it off?  I don’t think so.  If you can’t tend to things in your backyard and will put up with reprehensible behavior for worthless political seats, then we are contributing to evil itself.  I like to see good people enter political offices intending to do good work.  I don’t like to see lazy people who want to enter politics do a lousy job and then use government power to hide their lack of skill from a judging public.  Or they will clamor for a seat because it’s the only thing worth anything in their life, the only path they have to social respect.  And because they are so faulty, they will do anything to hold those seats of power by trying to destroy people who could do better than them.  In politics, if we are not creating an environment of competition to get the best people in the best spots to improve our government, then we are only feeding the tendency toward corruption for all the means of abuse that the government can utilize for all the wrong reasons.  And it should be one of our most significant concerns.  Remember when some politicians say to you, “There is misleading information about me and I want to set the record straight,” just think of the mobster who says the same thing before they try to take a baseball bat out to show how much power they have become because of the government.  Be sure to judge them based on what they do, not the worthless things they say.  Then, use the force of government to conceal.

When everyone wonders why such crappy people end up in elected office, it’s because the garbage who can do nothing else in life cleave for the power of government, then use it to stop better people from beating them in elections.  And that is a problem with Republicans, Democrats, communists, and revolutionaries.  Until we take away the power the government gives to people to use to prop up their otherwise broken and useless lives, bad people will continue to dominate in politics, whereas good, honest people who can do a million other things will do so.  And leave politics to the worst that the human race produces. Instead, it should be the other way around; our best should move into politics to help others become better because they are examples everyone should follow toward individual success.  

I’m happy to help build an excellent political team, and there are at least 20 people I can think of who want to get involved in Republican politics.  But I will not put up with weaponized bureaucracy by incompetent people who clamor for power because it gives them something they wouldn’t otherwise have: power over others.  That is not acceptable.

The Indians Were Not Indigenous to North America, Aliens Were: What we have learned about the giants found around the world

It’s not hard to see how it happened; if you understand politics, you know that mass populations are easily controlled by a political system that can capture a narrative, and humans, by nature, are best communicated with through story. So, if you own the story, you control the population, the primary focus of religions, and the politics that have spawned from them since recorded time. But this line of questions for me started in 2009 while at the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and I picked up a map that had known burial sites of giants, people of gigantic stature. I thought that was interesting, so I have kept my ears open since then for evidence as it has come in. And as that evidence has been collected, it is pretty evident that in the Ohio River Valley and across the world, just about everywhere, especially in mound-building cultures, are the remains of giant people. That is why there isn’t better archaeology looking into the contents of these mounds, even in China and Japan and all over the Near East, specifically the many mounds of Israel that are essentially of the same construction and design. It came alive for me after visiting Stonehenge that something was strange because I saw the same features that I saw at home in Southern Ohio. And once you learn that the mounds weren’t burial in their orientation as much as they were intended to be celestial clocks, then suddenly things start making a lot more sense, which is the case of a massive earthwork near my home at Fort Hill, in downtown Hamilton, Ohio, and Serpent Mound about an hour and a half to the east.

Knowing what I do now, I am very comfortable calling it; the earth was settled by life from other places in space, likely many different species, and they have probably been interacting with us all along.  But they come and go, and when they arrive on earth to settle or for visits, they need to know when they are.  And that is the purpose of things like Stonehenge, the features at Göbekli Tepe, and even the mysterious Keyhole tombs in Japan.  We are dealing with a culture that lived quite well and vibrantly in what we call the Archaic Period, from the age of Leo and Tauras, and dying out around the age of Aries, only to emerge into what we now call Biblical ancient.  We know that because once you stop trying to look at history through what you find lying around the ground, which decays and erodes rather quickly, and start understanding that you measure activity in celestial time, which is the purpose of inventing the zodiac always was, relevant to stable ground features described, then you start to get the picture.  And the people doing all this were huge, called giants.  And that the Bible refers to as the Nephilim.  Only they were a global culture that understood how to navigate across the oceans, and they did so frequently.  Our assumption that hunters and gatherers rubbed sticks together and migrated across a land bridge into North America during an Ice Age period is, by now, just ridiculous.

But, the world’s politics has wanted us to think of them as gods and to worship them and their time of rule on earth.  So, they have been working to conceal this information behind the mechanisms of institutionalism.  To maintain that story, they have been trying to sell us all on this idea of indigenous people and that America should never have been settled by Christopher Columbus in 1492 because we interrupted the harmony of a nature-loving group of nomads with capitalism.  But that was all a lie; the Indians were not indigenous to North America.  Aliens were.  The Indians were the latest visitors migrating around the earth for thousands of years.  The way things look, we are dealing with at least 400,000 years of human history.  Probably longer.  We only see what hasn’t eroded yet, but there has been a lot of intelligent life on Earth over a long period.  That doesn’t mean there weren’t hunters and gatherers doing their thing, just as we can find such people worldwide today.  There were always homeless people not living within a structured society.  But our assumptions about life and how we arrived where we are, based on abundant evidence, are entirely wrong.  I think today, if we had reasonable archaeology into the many mounds of the world, we would find in them skeletons, like have been found at the Miamisburg Mound just south of Dayton, Ohio, lots of 8- to 10-foot-tall people.  The fact that nobody is seriously studying this matter tells you everything you need to know.  The social narrative of the exploitation of so-called indigenous people is far more valuable to the current political order of global communism than the truth of scientific discovery.  The evidence is so abundant, mainly by private investigations, not science funded by government grants committed to a political narrative, that there is no longer a question. 

I was always weary of this kind of alien settlement thinking until I watched the world’s governments lie to our faces about COVID-19.  We all know that the virus was artificially made in China and released to the public in a way that the world’s governments knew about.  They had even role-played the response, which Bill Gates led the effort.  They were so arrogant about their ability to lie to the public through controlled narratives that they essentially painted themselves in a corner and had to tip-toe through that wet paint to reveal their guilt.  Part of the reason for the arrogance, a big part of it, was their success in manipulating religious and scientific narratives to the public, such as they have gotten away with the indigenous people’s history, arbitrarily picking a habitation date of 1600 AD to 1800 AD, and saying that they were the indigenous people of North America and that all migration was evil so that the greatness of America can be delegitimized to the world and they would clamor for Chinese style communism because of their associated guilt.  People didn’t question the narrative much, which inflated the egos of those who seek to control narratives in the world so they can easily control masses of people.  So now that we know that aliens, or rather, our ancestors, came here from other planets, do we call them the indigenous people?  Or were they the invaders of what was here before?  But we know there was a global civilization that dates back all over the world into times during and even before the last ice age.  And that what was left behind were fragments of their previous cultures that were quite advanced, as we can see in all these ground-based celestial clocks that still have crop circles appearing next to them all the time as if someone were writing notes on the ground to figure out when they were in time and space.  Since time doesn’t move the same everywhere in the solar system, the galaxy, or the universe, which is the giveaway, they were concerned with time and the way we would wear a watch to measure our rotation to the sun.  These very tall people and others needed to know relative to their orientations in space when they arrived on Earth.  Was it 100 years later, or many thousands?  And that is the way we must look at history in the future.  Not in the way we have been.  Or allow governments and institutions to lie to us to control a narrative that benefits them politically when science says otherwise.

The Horrible Report Card at Lakota Schools: Lynda O’Conner has become the Jack Smith of Butler County

If you ever wanted to know why Lakota schools had a terrible report card of 3.5 out of 5 when it should have been, as surrounding districts were, a perfect 5, the reason was sitting in a Butler County, Ohio courtroom on September 15th, 2023.  No, it wasn’t Isaac Adi trying to get a protection order against Darbi Boddy that was the problem; it was Lynda O’Conner, who was also present, who was behind everything.  Poor little Judge Lyons was there representing Isaac in such a ridiculous case.  That he was deceived into doing Lynda’s “Get Darbi at all cost” obsession said everything.  He’s a pretty nice guy, and wouldn’t have been there but out of obligation.  The drama and destruction at Lakota fell on one person’s shoulders, Lynda O’Conner.  Rather than playing politics and embarking on a campaign of personal destruction, she should have been managing the Lakota school system, which shows in the report card.  And I know precisely how Judge Lyons got involved in Lynda’s business, which is essentially just the same as Jack Smith’s case against President Trump, with Smith behaving just like Lynda and Darbi being our local version of President Trump.  I know because I’ve tried to help Lynda personally for years and I understand that look on Judge Lyon’s face, the “why am I here” look.  Lynda, over the last week, has personally been involved in so much destruction.  Her crusade against Darbi Boddy is well chronicled, but her fingerprints are all over the Jews against the West Chester Tea Party case, too, which blasted them all over the media needlessly, not caring at all who it might hurt.  It was vicious politics and really unacceptable, especially since it involved long-time friends. Having disagreements with friends is one thing. Trying to destroy them is quite another. The smoke is still clearing on that one, but guess who is at the center of all that destruction?  All because they didn’t endorse Lynda, and she didn’t want to do the “meet the candidate night?” So rather than going there to get asked tough questions, destroying the venue was the next best option? Those are my assumptions based on knowledge of the people involved. Give me a break. You don’t get to go out and try to personally destroy entire organizations, just as she has done with Darbi, just because they don’t do what you want them to do.  Then call up all these “powerful friends” to help you do it.  That is corrupt politics on steroids. 

Meanwhile, the previous superintendent, who had all the trouble and put Lakota in such a bad place, was hired by Lynda, and Lynda personally managed him.  Many of the legal fees that the district has suffered are because of her mismanagement of his time at Lakota; she was the school board president and had the gavel.  Based on the police reports, he was much more interested in maintaining a swinger life with area Lakota parents and strangers on Craigslist than in ensuring that Lakota schools was a great district.  That is probably, given the destruction in her wake, which I have personally gone way out of my way to help her avoid, was the dumbest thing she could have done.  I see the public education system as just a fancy babysitting service, and I put my personal beliefs on hold to help her enormously, including when she wanted my help to get Darbi and Isaac elected.  Then, what I witnessed in personal destruction up close regarding Darbi was bizarre and a serious waste of my time, which I’m pretty angry about.  I didn’t want to know everything I did that made up that poor report card for Lakota, which all these same losers want to blame on disruptions caused by Darbi.  Give me a break.  That is like the Democrat Party saying that the world would be so much better if not for President Trump.  This politics of personal destruction is a Democrat thing, culminating in that Butler County courtroom.  Lynda started the fights between Isaac and Darbi.  And she even managed to get an old friend in Judge Lyons drug into a mess she created.

A lot goes into public education report cards, but it comes down to one thing: the teacher’s union’s control over the education process.  It states simply, “Pay us more money, and you’ll get a better report card.”  All the report card people are aligned to that objective, and next year, Lakota has a teacher’s contract coming up where all these horrible employees will want raises.  And if they get them, the report card will suddenly be a four or a five.  The real solution to Lakota’s problems would be to have four more parents who care on the school board and to fire all the senior-level sticks in the mud who work at Lakota and hire young, fresh talent who you can get for half the pay because it’s payroll that is the problem and what they do.  We don’t need a bunch of radical Joe Biden supporters teaching kids Critical Race Theory and gender neutrality at a six-figure hit to the budget.  Then, ask the community to pass a tax increase when their taxes are already out of control, and the hidden inflation tax is destroying their basic lifestyles.  The Lakota school board is supposed to be like Darbi Boddy has been.  Not a lay down across the train tracks like Lynda O’Conner has done for over 16 years catering to the teacher’s union while playing Republican to everyone who doesn’t want their taxes to go up—but doing the exact opposite regarding actual policy.

I have spoken to hundreds of people about Lynda’s bizarre behavior toward fellow school board member Darbi Boddy, and I think it all comes down to one thing: Darbi doesn’t look like the bottom of a foot.  And the irrational crusade against her isn’t over policy or presentation, but it’s over classic female rivalries.  Which is pretty ridiculous when you think about what’s at stake.  Many people are worried about real estate values because of the continued report cards at Lakota, which are expected to be excellent.  But honestly, the real estate value fear tactic is old news now.  Schools are good because of the people who invest in real estate.  Schools aren’t the primary drivers; location and culture matter far more.  The public schools are just places where parents can drop their kids off while parents do “busy stuff.”  But in Lakota’s district, child-aged parents are a pretty small demographic.  Most people living in Lakota don’t have kids in the community.  So all this Lakota news is a waste of their time.  It’s not just Darbi; there are several young women who do not look like the bottom of a foot and don’t have to put on layers of caked make-up to go to the mailbox who want to run for the school board.  I have only seen this kind of bizarre behavior in situations where women are fighting each other over silly things, which is a pretty stupid thing for people who want to lead the district even to be concerned about.  Yet Judge Lyons was getting pulled into an even more foolish story, trying to validate Isaac’s fears of being harassed by Darbi.  It was like some dumb soccer game where a player is trying to draw a penalty, and a swift breeze comes along and ruffles the player’s hair, and they fall to the ground as if someone hit them.  When you see that kind of thing going on, well, it’s no wonder the report card for Lakota is a measly 3.5.  The situation that set up those conditions is older than when Darbi was on the board.  And like everything at Lakota and all the trouble dripping off it, Lynda O’Conner is at the center.  And she wants to be re-elected?  She owes a lot of people an apology, at the very least, Darbi, for one.  The West Chester Tea Party for another.  The Butler County Courts. And literally hundreds of people who have tried to help her, only to watch her essentially turn into the Jack Smith of our community.  And embarrass us all.

Ken Paxton Acquitted: Revenge is coming, justifiably so

The Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, has been acquitted of the charges of impeachment levied against him by the former Bush political machine. This should be a lesson that everyone should take note of. The old Republican Party, the one of Mitt Romney, and other RINOs like him, John Kasich comes to mind, is over. For anybody who wants to survive in politics going into the future, you better get right with the direction of the world.

The case against Paxton began back in 2015 when he was indicted on three counts of securities fraud and one count of failure to register with the state securities board. The charges were related to Paxton’s involvement with a company called Servergy, which he allegedly promoted without disclosing that he was receiving commissions for his efforts.

Despite the accusations, Paxton maintained his innocence throughout the trial. His defense team argued that the charges were politically motivated and that he had not broken any laws. In the end, the jury agreed with Paxton’s defense and found him not guilty on all counts.

While some people are celebrating the verdict, others are frustrated and disappointed. Many believe that the justice system has failed to hold Paxton accountable for his actions and that he has gotten away with a serious crime, as the Bush family had hoped to use against him. 

There are also concerns that the verdict could set a dangerous precedent, sending a message that public officials can get away with unethical and illegal behavior without any consequences.

Despite these concerns, Paxton has maintained that he is innocent and that justice has been served. He has thanked his supporters for standing by him throughout the trial and has vowed to continue fighting for the people of Texas.

Get ready, there will be a long string of these types of MAGA acquittals in the year to come.  And Trump is going to win in a landslide election.  And all those who performed as bad guys across the world will have revenge coming their way, as is perfectly justified by their own actions.  That revenge will come nationally, statewide, and locally.  And many will be in shock.  But they have it coming because of what they did.

Isaac Adi Loses His Man Card: Despite modern woke rules, people are still people

So they have drug Judge Lyons into all this? I love the Judge, and there he was in court serving as the stooge for a failed political figure, as Lynda is calling in all the favors, hoping to turn back the tides of reality like some crazy old woman seeks the fountain of youth before the grip of old age seals her doom. These political gymnastics can’t hide the terrible report card at Lakota. Lynda was in charge, and it’s on her, which will be the subject of tomorrow. But for now, man cards are still crucial in the world, despite the attempt to use new woke rules to remove such judgments from society. Men and women still have expectations from each other that have been relevant for many thousands of years, even millions. And that was something an old friend of mine, who ran WLW radio then, used to enjoy during his Saturday radio show from 9 a.m. until 11. Back before there was ever a YouTube, through the Obama first term, I used to do a lot of talk radio all over the country, and I had a good relationship, especially with Clear Channel Radio, who ran WLW, specifically through Darryl Parks when he was the big man at the station, setting all their programming priorities. He and I had similar politics, so I was a frequent guest with him and many other Marconi award-winning personalities, and we had a good time having fun with forbidden early woke social rules. It would be woke politics that would have Clear Channel remove most of the conservative talent (Bill Cunningham is not a real conservative; he only plays one on the radio), and Parks eventually lost his title. But while he had it, we had a lot of fun and did a lot of good radio making fun of ridiculous things, such as woke policies, well before anybody even knew what they were. We would often exploit that trait on his radio show, and one of the most popular mechanisms we would employ was removing people’s man cards when they showed weak behavior in a public setting, especially men who were not standing up for traditional masculine attributes. We would talk about them on the air during his show to hundreds of thousands of people and remove their man cards as a shame for their lack of courage and strength when it was needed most.

So in that fabulous and influential tradition, we must bring back the removal of man cards when they show they do not deserve them, and that is certainly the case with Isaac Adi, the Lakota school board member who attempted to have court protection from fellow school board member, Darbi Boddy.  He and Darbi were at a conference in Florida and had several arguments, which isn’t unusual.  They ran for school board together and have turned out to be quite different politically.  It didn’t look that way at first, but since Isaac won his seat, he has essentially become much more liberal, whereas Darbi is still the conservative mom that she ran herself as.  But unlike regular politicians, Darbi didn’t say one thing and then show herself to be something else.  And that is what the establishment types call a lack of “professionalism” when politicians do what they say they will do with the naive assumption that they might be able to change anything. For most politicians, you throw populist opinions to the public to get them to vote for you.  Then you say other things to those who donate money to political campaigns.  But when you are in executive session with other politicians, you are all friends; you talk about Bill’s cat and Sarah’s new dress, and no matter who they are, Republicans and Democrats, you enjoy a kind of silent membership to the club.  Darbi was always the same person: the campaign Darbi, the fundraising Darbi, and the daily school board member.  So when efforts were led by Lynda O’Conner, a supposed conservative school board member, to get control of these two new school board members a few years ago, Isaac and Darbi, only Isaac listened.  Darbi remained independently conservative, and since then, Isaac and Darbi have had a very contentious relationship, and they argue frequently for obvious reasons. If it’s anybody’s fault for destroying their relationship, it’s Lynda O’Conner who did it.

According to court testimony on September 15, 2023, because of this incident, Isaac was admitted to a hospital for two nights and three days, and he had a medical bill as evidence. That says everything.

But the only time they’ve been violent, that type of thing was initiated by Isaac. At least two times, I know where Isaac has punched at cameras recording him, and it was women holding those cameras. Isaac has a temper and has expressed it openly. He likes to be in control, and when he feels he’s losing control, he turns to physical aggression. I never thought it was a big deal, but under the definition of harassment that he expressed to a court on September 15th, 2023, then the smeller is the feller in this case. He’s the guy in the elevator passing gas and then looking at everyone else as if it were their fault. So it is ironic that after that Florida trip for school board business, he went to the courts to file a petition against Darbi, citing that he did not feel safe around her and that she had been “bullying” him. And that she carries a gun and he doesn’t feel “safe.” Jiminy Christmas, that is not how men talk! I understand that Darbi is tough, and she has a powerful personality. I have been to the firing range with her and her husband, and I can report that she does know how to handle herself with a gun. But what world is Isaac living in? Everyone carries a weapon, or at least they should. It’s like saying that a woman has earrings. Carrying guns is a common social enterprise, so it should not have been a big deal to Isaac. But he went to the courts to seek protection from her, which was pretty embarrassing, and he felt he needed to. The judge denied the request, as should have been understood from the start. Isaac failed to present evidence that an ex parte order is necessary for his safety and protection from imminent danger.

They should have never tried to knock Darbi off the school board. They just keep digging themselves deeper and deeper.

All that might be fine in the legal world of court talk and political discourse.  And to say it’s a dysfunctional relationship doesn’t go deep enough to the true heart of the matter.  What is the purpose of these frequent confrontations?  It comes down to acceptance of honest public discourse, and what I find valuable about Darbi is that as a genuine representative of the community and an unpolished political figure, she is a good gauge of how people feel in the district.  Yet the political trend is to be one way in public and another in private, which is an inherently dishonest position, and that understanding has led to healthy conflict.  But if you are a man, you don’t run to the courts looking for protection, for the “state” to protect you.  You handle your battles and don’t seek government help to resolve them.  That is why Isaac Adi must lose his man card.  By the woke rules of the modern world, it’s OK for men to cry and be emotional.  And to be afraid of guns.  But by the fundamental laws of manhood, those are all reprehensible traits that women classicly find destructive and unattractive.  And I think Darbi’s primary source of disappointment, knowing her pretty well as I do, is that Isaac has shown himself to be everything but the kind and conservative person she ran with on the campaign.  Darbi never wanted to be a political figure in the traditional sense.  She just wanted to be on the school board to help kids get access to a better life.  And she has had no desire to become what Isaac has, and that anger spills over into their conversations.  The Lakota school board’s dysfunction started when Isaac attempted to remove Darbi from the school board with many other hostile people, led by Lynda O’Conner, literally the moment that Darbi gave her the critical vote to make her president.  So, who in their right mind would expect Darbi to get along with them at this late date or that she’d want to join hands under a banner of peace now?  She can only hope that she gets more people on the school board who are better representatives of the community to work with, and until then, she is just holding her nose, like many people are.  But compromising with people without integrity is not an option, or dealing with people who have lost their man cards.
