Moving On: Government screwed up, but people are finding ways to sidestep them for their own happiness

To say I have been pissed off about the government’s reaction to Covid-19 is an understatement. I’m not a supporter of government bureaucracy anyway, so what I have witnessed so far this year of 2020 has been absolutely reprehensible. Government is slow and terrible in regards to the BMV, and public schools, why in the hell should we listen to them about sicknesses? The free market should be free to deal with that, government should keep their noses out of it as far as I’m concerned. But we have a republic in America and most people aren’t so smart so they elected liberal losers with broken minds to represent them and that’s what we have seen with the Covid-19 reaction around the world. The way I live my life, I hardly personally notice, it hasn’t changed my daily routine too much, only when I have to deal with something that government touches, but it became personal when the health department of Darke County put pressure on the Annie Oakley Days committee to cancel this year’s event out of concerns over the stupid little virus. I’ll give them credit, they held out until a few weeks ago, but in late June, they finally threw in the towel. Government had ruined that too, which is something I look forward to every year. As to the science to why government always fails, I have covered that topic elsewhere, especially in regard to Robert Persig’s “Metaphysics of Quality,” which anybody can look up to learn more. But, government as it is established since the inception of humankind is designed to fail, every time it is considered, so the least of it that we have, the better off our society.

However, I have some positive predictions to share based on my observations on the matter, the resolve that is conducive to all free people in that long evolution we have from being cave dwellers to a species building tools to take us out into space for further migration. Before I go any further you have to understand that my view of Covid-19 is that it has simply been used as a political tool to alter the course of economic action that everything liberalism touches can impact. It is meant to take away from us happiness as voters of world affairs so that we will vote otherwise in the upcoming election. It is the ultimate voter tampering and its being done on such a large scale that most of us simply choose not to believe that government is that malicious and untrustworthy. Everyone has to come to that reality on their own, but it doesn’t change the nature of that reality. Government has its hands in most all of our commerce, so they have been able to manipulate our food, our entertainment, the way we interact with each other—our jobs—just about everything and it has been disgusting.

To deal with that problem I did what I usually do when there is a major crises in my life, I go and develop a new skill and learn something that I either didn’t have time for before or the problem wasn’t yet on my radar. In this case ammunition was running low and nobody could get any. I like to go shooting at the range when I’m working out problems and since government had scared the crap out of all of society with their devastating and massive overreach, they had inspired people to rush out to buy guns and ammo to prepare for the apocalypse that the news media was assuring us was coming over Covid-19. So to get ammo, I had to make my own, so I took the plunge into reloading which I had been thinking about for a long time, but finally decided to go out and invest in the equipment so that I could make my own ammunition by the thousands from now on. Government anyway has shown a tendency to try to control the buying and selling of guns, and taxing ammunition to punish gun owners the way that government is always trying to tamper with economies, so making the move to making my own ammunition in my garage has been a very rewarding experience.

And to be honest, as I’ve talked about before and will get into again in more detail due to the way the St. Louis couple, the McCloskey’s have been treated with their firearms at their residence, I highly encourage ghost gunning through Defense Distributed where you can by a milling machine and machine out your own AR uppers then buy the rest of the components to manufacture your own guns for private use, and to side step the whole government tracking nonsense. The government cannot be trusted to manage home or personal defense, especially when they are the idiots causing all the current race riots just so they can again, attempt to manipulate an election. Watching what the FBI and former DOJ officials did under White House guidance under the Obama group, I will never trust those government officials again. I want them to do a good job, I don’t want to do their jobs for them, I expect them to work for me as representatives, but I expect them to come up short and to try to hide their shortcomings with a manipulation of their power for their own preservation. So I will never trust them, and they are not qualified to determine whether or not anybody can have a gun, what kind, and to what extent. I started my new hobby of reloading so that a store or dealer wouldn’t let me down again with supplying ammunition when I want it. And I think we should all be thinking about building our own ghost guns with private machine shops that the government has no idea even exist, so that they won’t be able to take them from us later, as they fully intend to with the same crises vigor as they have overstepped their boundaries with Covid-19.

And that is what I see happening with Covid-19, people are doing that with everything, wherever liberalism touches corporate America they are finding alternatives. Government may destroy the current entertainment culture as we know it, they may force everyone underground with the mask wearing, they may have complete control over the mainstream media, but I see people everywhere sidestepping government and living their lives anyway. If they can’t go to a baseball game, they are just playing more video games. If they can’t go to the movies, they just watch Netflix. If they can’t go to the store, people are just buying off Amazon. Yes I feel sorry for all the brick and mortar stores that are going out of business. Government is just destroying its own tax collecting scheme with a short-sighted election tampering strategy. But life is going on, people are “finding a way.” They don’t need government and will find their happiness wherever government isn’t, and when government pushes them to the ends of the earth, a free people will fight back when they have no other choice. But they won’t become compliant like the people of China, or some other Eastern culture.

I have found reloading to be an enormously rewarding new hobby. It is saving a lot of money for one thing, but the self-reliance is wonderful. Yet I’m not the only one discovering it. Many people are and that is the side product of failure that government didn’t anticipate. Instead of a society that is more compliant and scared of every little thing, they have pushed people deeper into self-reliance. The corporations that have been taken away, like Disney, Nike, every government sponsored firework display, sports, people are finding replacements and they really don’t care. It is government ultimately that is cutting off their own heads in the process and will greatly find that they have ruined their own revenue system by this economic disruption. And that observation was never more obvious than in this year’s 4th of July celebrations where most government sponsored events were cancelled. Yet nobody really noticed because there were so many backyard shows that nobody could tell the difference. That same trait will flow over into everything and life will go on. Government will have to shrink because the money coming in for them will force it to.

The Goal of War is Capitulation: Every time we bend the knee, wear a mask, or yield to a political party, we are surrendering to the enemy

The one thing to understand about war is that the goal is capitulation, not death. Once you accept that, you will see clearly dear reader that we are well into a new civil war where the goals are no less obvious. The history of warfare however, because of gunpowder, thankfully, has made war less bloody and costly in human lives over time. Warfare migrating from the times of vast armies meeting on a battlefield to hash out some issue has changed as guns and their effectiveness have taken away the nobility of a good death in military combat and pushed insurgency into more gorilla warfare. This evolution became most obvious during the two World Wars in the last century and became most obvious during the Vietnam conflict. More and more with each new war technology has become the most preferred method of attack, with air power dominating those who don’t have it, or even today where drones kill vast squads of the enemy with the push of a button. War itself has become more and more passive aggressive as the technology of guns have become deadlier and more effective. War has never left us, but it has become more personal and less centralized like most things in our society and that’s where we find ourselves today, especially in America.

Viewed in that way it makes things much clearer to understand in relation to what the political left’s goals are and how the right has responded to them. Conservatives and their religious views in general have been paralyzed by the attacks made upon them largely due to their educations that have not prepared their minds to see war in the way that it is presented in the modern age. Even our media culture still presents notions of war as physical attacks with guns to force the enemy to surrender or be killed in the process. Yet the new way of war proposed by extremists, and leftists emerging out of the Vietnam era learned that the real fight was mostly psychological not physical, and that when they did enter any battlefield, they had already won largely because they had planted the seeds of capitulation in the minds of their enemy before even stepping foot on a battlefield. These days, we see in the cancel culture this notion that capitulation is expected just with an accusation and fights don’t even happen because we have all been taught that peace and love are the primary objectives of civilized life, and in that way, the attackers have defined the rules of engagement which will eventually lead to capitulation anyway. We are seeing that strategy in full effect with Black Lives Matter, Antifa and all other anti-Trump political groups. That much was obvious when we saw the mayor of New York City painting a sign on 5th Avenue in front of Trump Tower dedicated to Black Lives Matter. The objective couldn’t be clearer, a Marxist group planting a flag on the home turf of a symbol of American capitalism and claiming it as a kind of military victory.

I’ve been thinking about a conversation I had with Scott Sloan years ago at 700 WLW, likely because I have been listening to the legal arguments talked about on that station regarding Covid-19 a lot lately and it has caused me to reflect on some of my own personal experiences. He was trying to tell me as a smart guy that my anger at the other side during school levy fights was undermining my good arguments for my position, and that I shouldn’t take the bait. My response to him was that he was thinking too conventionally about the problem, the other side wanted to destroy reputations, boycott businesses and do whatever they had to do to win, and that we had to match them with the same aggression, or worse. Otherwise we were surrendering the battlefield to the enemy. He had a hard time admitting that the other side was the enemy. He thought, and largely still does, that we can all talk this out and everything will be alright. He didn’t see the war that was happening because he thought that all sides in the matter could still talk it out and find agreement. Yet I saw clearly that the other side was only thinking of capitulation. If “we” didn’t bend the knee to them, then they would destroy us in every way they could without weapons of course, but through passive aggressive control over aspects of our culture that would rob us of happiness. That was of course in 2012 and I often refer to that period as a defining moment for me because it confirmed much of what I had always suspected about our culture in general. And of course, I turned out to be correct in every way, and now we are seeing it play out in large scale warfare.

This mode of warfare has been chosen by the political left because they saw how effective it has been against a superior force with better technology during the Vietnam conflict and most recently in Afghanistan which has been in perpetual war with weapons since the 1970s, first with the Soviet Union and now with the United States. When a superior force is trying to play the chess game of a battlefield with old ideas about capitulation and the enemy is hiding, dodging and harassing by playing by a different set of rules, it is then easy to see why they have been winning and the superior force loses. This also answers the question as to why we are losing these modern battles, because conservatives refuse to admit to themselves that there is even a war. But the other side is willing to admit to it, and they are willing to do whatever they have to do to win. They intend to force their enemy to bend the knee using the Chinese ‘Art of War’ to win without even fighting as it is described in that great book, and they have been very effective.

Think about what we are doing today, we are bending the knee to Black Lives Matter over guilt. It’s the same fear that fear of death would have caused the same result in years past. The fear of a life of guilt is the new mode of forcing capitulation and we see such a surrender as almost a fashion statement today. Additionally, it is quite clear that our governments are in conflict, they don’t want our choice in president and have been working to remove him and any supporters from office. Meanwhile they have been using the Covid-19 virus as an excuse to train their subjects to wear masks in public as a form of capitulation. Once people accept that modern science and innovation cannot make people safe from the virus and that they must wear a mask to prevent the spread of it, then the governments have forced a surrender of that population that once started, will continue to tame the wild minds of freedom to the doomed presence of government wrath. They don’t need to kill you as might have happened in years past, they want to own your labor for their own needs, so they want to keep you alive now. All they really want from you is to bend the knee, which so many people are willing to do because they don’t understand why they are being asked to do it. They surrender because they don’t know that we are really at war and think that by capitulation they will save lives instead of harming them. Which of course is wrong.

The Step By Step Process of Impeaching Mike DeWine: If action is not taken, we will lose the rule of law forever

Yes, its time to stop fooling around, the case to impeach Mike DeWine is well into maturity and if congress doesn’t act, it will lose forever any respect that the executive branch of Ohio government will ever have for it again. It’s been a long time since Ohio has had any impeachments of any office holders. In fact, there are only eight cases, and one conviction of those all who were judges. That doesn’t mean there shouldn’t have been more, but over the course of many years, the trend for more and more politicians to push constitutional limits has of course brought us to the present problem of what to do with Mike DeWine, who has certainly abused his power as governor forcing the state legislature in the form of the House of Representatives to take on the case and correct the behavior. Unfortunately, we all know more about the impeachment process this year than last as we watched the federal House of Representatives abuse their majority and use impeachment to attempt to derail President Trump. We learned and its true, the action of impeachment starts in the House of Representatives in any American body, and they can impeach for anything, including eating a ham sandwich. It is up to the Senate in both the at the state level or the federal to have a trail and prove or disprove the articles of impeachment that the House comes up with. After speaking with many people on the matter I understand there is quite an underground movement in the Ohio Statehouse that are occurring in the whispers in just about every corner, so let’s make it easy for everyone. If you want to know how to start the process against DeWine, here are the PDF instructions on how to do it. Just click the links and you can see the source documents to get things started. Its as easy as that.

Click these links to learn more:

R2563-117 (1)R-133-3926 (1)

As to the why, well, I have made several cases why it’s necessary on these pages. There are a growing number of court cases that are adding to the relevance. I have included also on this document several radio broadcasts from Bill Cunningham on 700 WLW who has had on several prominent Republican leaders to talk about everything that has been wrong with the Governor’s reaction to Covid-19. I know many people are toiling over having to take action against Governor DeWine, because they have been friends with him, they know him and have for many years, many of them love his wife and think of her as a kind of extended mother. But when good people do bad things, they deserve what comes to them whether or not people like their character. If a good person accidently shoots someone, or runs them down in the street with a car, those good people are still subject to criminal enterprise. They may get a reduced sentence in jail because of their good character, but if we don’t honor justice blindly, then we lose it for everyone, which is largely what we see happening now in our streets during this election year. Not taking action against DeWine because people like him, which most of the critics say as a way to take away the edge of criticism, will not restore the respect of our system of government that has been lost by the Governor’s own decisive actions to listen to a faulty radical in Amy Acton and giving her dictatorial powers as a Health Director covered by the office of an elected governor who sold himself as one way, then decided to behave contrary to those expectations. That in itself isn’t the problem, the problem is that DeWine abused his powers for an extended period of time and has brought great harm to our economy and future outlooks for business investment under a false premise espoused by Amy Acton to follow a destructive political climate that has been harmful and very personal to every Ohio citizen, regardless of party affiliation.

I understand how Republicans and even Democrats feel about taking such action against a sitting governor. Nobody, well at least not many people, likes to throw rocks in a glass house. Most people are guilty of something, so they don’t feel morally compelled to pass judgment on a friend and colleague. And DeWine knows that, which is why he has acted with no respect for the legislative exchange that is supposed to protect us all from a dictator drunk on power as an executive. People fight hard together to fund raise, to win elections, and they form lasting friendships in those bonding experiences that make it hard to impeach someone when wrongdoing is noticed. That’s why its been so long since anybody has been impeached in Ohio. To say the least, modern politicians and other high rollers have less conviction than the type of people who wrote our state and federal constitutions, which of course is another reason why we see anarchists and anti-American forces raging on the news every night attacking everything even remotely considered American. Its not enough to say that we should impeach Mike DeWine just because he abused his power over Covid-19, but we must restore respect to the process of government, regardless of political affiliation. Failure to take action in this very obvious case will only further erode trust in government which obviously has been eroding away for nearly 200 years year by year.

Yet the case is obvious, when you listen to these radio broadcasts, and read the attached documents, one which covers three of the impeachment cases from 1805 to 1809, that of Judge William Irvin, then of Judge Calvin Pease and George Tod. Reading of those cases it is obvious that we have lost several steps in our Ohio legislature and it really doesn’t matter that we behave ourselves during an election year while we try to unite the party behind President Trump so that he can win Ohio. Right is right, and its hard to do. But if we don’t do it, we will lose our government forever, and there will be no future. DeWine is counting on the political machine and his friendships to give him cover-fire for deep, constitutional violations of abusing his power for a sustained period of time that has caused vast health problems and economic doom. Even if he had good intentions, he is still guilty of the ramifications which were made worse because he did not share counsel with the legislative branches to help him make the correct decisions. He simply hid Amy Acton from those angry at her, for ruining their lives over Covid-19 and continued to ignore the legislature looking to solve the problems in Ohio not with more government orders made in the dark of night without intelligent debate, but with actual laws. What DeWine has done at a minimum of analysis was not to violate some criminal statute, but rather, which is consistent with most attempts at impeachments in the past, he violated the public trust. We aren’t looking to throw Mike DeWine in jail. But he does need to be removed from office so that future office holders do not attempt to do as he did in 2020 with Covid-19. Its not a matter of “should” but is certainly a matter of “must.” The evidence is in abundance right here, the work has been made easy for you.

Jennifer Baker’s Attack on Chief Herzog: When the media tries to make a story for political insurrection

From the beginning I thought the case against West Chester Police Chief Joel Herzog in Ohio was nothing but a power move from two subordinates to knock off their boss using the modern cancel culture temperament as a platform for their own success, at his expense. As it turns out, Chief Herzog will be able to put this ridiculous event behind him and get back to work, the report on the investigation into the accusations against him is complete, one of the accusers Jamie Hensley quit his police captain job on June 23rd as the report was starting to show that he misstated the truth, and the other Capt. Gutman will remain uncomfortably on the force and will forever have to be that odd guy in the room who took a shot at his boss, and failed. Those two guys accused Herzog of using colorful language in public and private that is suddenly grounds for termination in today’s ultra-sensitive beta culture but was customary for the entire course of human civilization among alpha males. The only thing Herzog was guilty of was living long enough to be in a top job when the media and their communist insurgents in the Democrat Party decided to use a new strategy to overturn America and defund the police any way possible.

But the most concerning thing I noticed during this multiweek investigation into Herzog was to the level Jennifer Edwards Baker bit into the story from Fox 19. I understand aggressive reporting, but like we have seen from many members of the media over several issues, especially during the Trump years in the White House, was that as unelected bureaucrats, the media are attempting to shape stories for political purposes instead of reporting the stories as they happen. I doubt Jennifer identifies too heavily in favor of a political party, but she is part of that new reporter culture who knows what her bosses want for a story, and those executives in media are very much radicalized toward the objectives of political insurrection. The two West Chester cops heard the liberal dog whistle espoused by the media all over the nation to defund the police, the attempted impeachment of President Trump, the behavior of the FBI and DOJ acting against their boss the President and almost getting away with it, so they took a swipe at their own boss, Chief Herzog to take him out. Reporters like Baker at Fox 19 see the story developing in a well run community that is affluent like West Chester, Ohio and wants to portray that government as “good ol’ boy, backward run” so that they can inspire change, a larger government with more checks and balances to fulfill an overall political strategy that they are teaching in colleges these days. West Chester is a target for someone like Baker and her bosses at Fox 19 because they are small government and successful. So anytime those conditions are present, there is a media outlet looking to make a story out of tearing all that down.

Baker was in fact obsessed with the story tweeting about it regularly driving the narrative in the way that the national media was trying to push Covid-19 or the impeachment attempts by Democrats to rid themselves of President Trump. We were supposed to believe that if Herzog said things in private about women’s boobies and the racial observations regarding potential terrorists that he should be fired for having opinions and thoughts. The goal of these types of things is to change behavior so that any resemblance of a white masculine culture is eradicated. Even if Herzog did manage to keep his job through the blame game and power plays of subordinates, then he would be muzzled to allow future aggressors to gain strength for an eventual overthrow of the complete police department as a culture. If left to Jennifer Baker and Fox 19 the future West Chester Police Department would be run by Rocky Horror Picture Show drag queens rather than rough and tough alpha males who understand how to be tough, yet compassionate, but do notice that people look a certain way good or bad and can determine the difference.

Its not that the media was looking for justice in this case, they were hoping to inspire change. I caught Channel 5 doing the same thing about a month ago when Karin Johnson was encouraging Black Lives Matter protestors to go up into West Chester to take their marches there. I know Karin a bit as I’ve caught her before doing such activism with the Lakota school levy campaign. I understood her position, she’s an East Coast girl, used to be a cheerleader, she loves the whole school spirit thing. She doesn’t think about communism being taught in public schools, she thinks of making out with the quarterback after a football game and the sense of family that being popular in school can give a person, so she was an activist as a member of the media for the school levy. Even her cameraman argued with me about the validity of the tax increase in my driveway while doing interviews, so their left leaning radicalism is not a secret. It was easy to see her fingerprints on inspiring the Black Lives Matter protestors to come to West Chester. If not for the media coverage, the question should be asked, would the protestors even have shown up in Cincinnati?  I would say that the protests would have fizzled out in a few days on their own, but the media kept fanning the flames for their own agenda, and Karin fanned them in the direction of West Chester on purpose, because she wanted to report that story.

And that’s what Jennifer Baker was after with this blatant attack on Chief Herzog. Its bad enough that there are bottom feeder attorneys out there who are trying to bring down people like the Chief based on accusations from subordinates, but when you add the political agenda from the media which then feeds attorneys to take such activism against police departments to exacerbate the national movement of delegitimizing the police as a bunch of racists by exploiting power players like Hensely, Gutman and others to act and do the work of liberal activists who are very motivated in weakening all police departments around America, for political reasons of complete insurrection, we are looking at a well-established blob of activism that has no one single villain, but a system that is trying to overthrow our way of life. I doubt Jennifer thinks about big things like that while she’s trying to tear down the West Chester Police Department, all she wants is a pat on the head from her bosses at Fox 19. But the intent is just as malicious. She willingly played her part in an attack on the police that is very much part of our modern political insurrection that is threatening all our lives. I actually enjoyed reading some of the accusations about Herzog. I know I am willing to support more “old school” police officers instead of the type who make the “beta” cut and are so squeaky clean that you have to worry that they might be more concerned with “style” than substance. And when it comes to enforcing the law, we need fearless people who can tell a lot about people with a casual glance. What Fox 19 and the rest of the media want, is a cop paralyzed by fear of their potential reporting and being replaced by subordinates based on what they say—not what they do. And I personally don’t appreciate the media activism.

Mike DeWine’s “Dereliction of Duty”: Ohio’s Version of Colonel Kurtz that must be dealt with

I think the term “dereliction of duty” was legally watered down during the Clinton Administration years to the point where it lost its meaning. Yet, it does mean that a service member has willfully refused to perform their duties (or follow a given order) or has incapacitated themselves in such a way that they cannot perform their duties essentially vacating their post contrary to regulations, and under those definitions we certainly find that Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio has done all that to the point where impeachment is the only correct way out. Without a correction of the downward spiral of trust that people have of public office we are likely to lose it forever. So avoiding the subject because of the politization of the term in high profile cases such as President Clinton, then the revenge that Democrats tried to apply it to current President Trump isn’t going to solve the problem. Governor DeWine for a while now has shown severe “dereliction of duty” and action must be taken by the legislature to get Ohio back under control again. While DeWine’s actions over the Covid-19 virus perception has been incredible, any failure to reel him back into reality will harm terribly the future of all law and order in the state of Ohio.

This isn’t a new problem and I have been thinking about DeWine for a long time. Like many Republicans, I could tell stories about what a good guy he has been. I don’t know him well enough to call him a friend, but I understand why many Republicans consider him as such. I also get that this is an election year and that Republicans want to unite the party behind President Trump, to get him re-elected and to deliver Ohio to the Trump camp with electoral votes. However, I also understand that DeWine has not been behaving as a Republican and has gone rogue in the executive branch acting more like a dictator and activist than a part of the checks and balances of government and he needs to be stopped. And from the top of the law to the beat on the street, everyone has been scratching their heads on how to solve this very real problem that has culminated into the mask mandates that are now part of the embarrassing administration reaction to Covid-19.

My thoughts on DeWine were that something had happened to his logical mind as a result of his relationship with Amy Acton, his Health Director. It wouldn’t be the first time where an employer had feelings for someone working for them, whether the reaction were sexual in nature, or just purely psychological, it was obvious that DeWine had some ill advised relationship with Amy Acton that was actually ruining people’s lives due to the Governor’s bad decisions which spawned from that relationship. But within the inner sanctums of Ohio government from many sources, sources that were very upset that the Governor had bypassed them in the legislature to push them out of any management of the Covid-19 crises I was being told that the situation was far worse and the sanity of Governor DeWine was in serious question. It was being proposed that the crises of Covid-19 invented by the media or not had crushed DeWine intellectually and he was retreating to his Christian background to make policy decisions. The specific problem with DeWine was that he kept insisting that his number one priority constitutionally as governor in Ohio was to protect those who couldn’t protect themselves, to protect those most vulnerable. While that sounds good and might be a good polling question that is asked without the context of what it means, the term could mean anything as determined by the governor’s own judgment. That is why we have a legislature, to help a mind like the governor’s stay on course through a crisis. But he has ostracized everyone and has painted himself into a corner, which has then led Ohio into a major economic crisis which he has caused all by himself.

To answer my question about Governor DeWine I was invited by several VIPs to listen to the governor up close and behind the scenes. Like I said, I don’t like to kiss and tell, but what I discovered about DeWine under pressure shortly after it was revealed that Amy Acton had stepped down from her role as his Health Director was a rudderless politician that sounded an awful lot like Colonel Kurtz from the movie ‘Apocalypse Now.’ DeWine essentially attacked anybody who questioned his motives leaving the people in the room with him stuck between wanting to beat the shit out of him, and wanting to honor his position in that high office. People who needed to clamp down on DeWine were frozen as to what to do, they were lost. Nothing in their lives had prepared them for the insanity of the moment and it was clear that the old prosecutor in DeWine was using his reputation to ward off any correction of his current behavior. And when pressed, he kept coming back around to his primary job as governor was to help those who couldn’t help themselves, which again was a completely ambiguous job description. Anybody could claim to be helpless under such ill-defined parameters and essentially as long as the Covid-19 virus had no cure, then DeWine could claim forever that he needed emergency powers to fight it—alone. He had no intention of letting the legislature help him with the problem, which is how we arrive at the “dereliction of duty” problem and why now after so many billions of dollars lost from the Ohio economy, we must take action to remove Governor DeWine from office.

DeWine, because he didn’t let anybody help him, which was a choice, is responsible for all the lawsuits that are being imposed on government because of his bad decisions and the leadership that Amy Acton took Ohio under her care. The DeWine administration essentially followed the global models for Covid-19 and reacted to bad data that destroyed many jobs and lives in the process, and now it is known in hindsight that those statistics were wrong. The trouble is, now that the severity of the virus is known DeWine is still insisting on the same measures of reacting to it that he did before, which is clearly an attempt by him to hold on to his emergency powers. And because of that, we are now suffering through continued economic depravity, the mandate in many Ohio counties to wear masks in mid-summer heat, which is again discouraging to economic recovery and the personal comfort of Ohioans all of which will impact the long term growth of Ohio as a destination for business transactions. And to justify all that failure of judgment, DeWine continues to point out that people are in danger of their very lives when clearly that is not true. There is nothing to indicate that Covid-19 is dangerous or is even presently considered a “pandemic.” The officials who have claimed Covid-19 to be a “pandemic” particularly in the World Health Organization have been discredited as the Trump administration has moved away from those relationships for obvious reasons. Members of America’s CDC are still doing damage control from their failures as health professionals to properly deal with the severity of Covid-19, greatly overblowing the statistical analysis to justify their own existence, so there is nothing for Governor DeWine to justify his actions, except that he has simply lost his mind, and in the process, cut out all those who could have helped him find it again. And that is why he has been “derelict in his duty” to his very office, and why for the preservation of that office in the future, he must be removed. His polling is not as high as he thinks it is, or to the level the media is reporting. But regardless of that, law and order must prevail, and his actions have irreparably damaged that relationship to the point where only removal will bring trust to the system of Ohio government once again.

Government Can’t Make You Wear A Mask: Seeking to cover up a massive crime including many murders

I’ve explained the nonsense about wearing a mask in public many times during the Covid-19 “plandemic” but something people need to understand is that you do have a right and obligation to fight back at government if they issue you a ticket or a citation for not wearing one as many mayors and governors have begun to mandate, especially in places like downtown Cincinnati. Now for the life of me, I can’t imagine why anybody would want to go to downtown Cincinnati with all the Black Lives Matter protests, many of the nicer restaurant shut down, no sports going on, the museums micromanaged to the point where social distancing mandates ruin the experience. But some likely have to interact with government services and to do that the mask mandate is something they will have to be concerned about and for those occurrences it is important to remember that the government has no right whatsoever to demand that people wear those stupid masks. Government doesn’t own public space; they don’t dictate what goes on outside. They can give a recommendation, and that’s it. Any government that says they can fine you or punish you for not complying with their mask mandates is lying to you and they deserve to be punished.

The mask mandate for employees is a bit of a different story, unfortunately state government has its fingers in commerce to an unreasonable level and they can mandate the wearing of a mask if you want to make money in the normal way. Government unreasonably controls the means of production in every state jurisdiction so challenging the mask mandates is a bit trickier. But legally, it is quite clear, government cannot compel people to wear masks in public under any conditions on fake emergency powers and a façade of concern over people’s safety. There is one reason and only one reason that government wants to mandate the wearing a masks in public and that is to cover up their criminal behavior in what they did to our lives and our economy in their neurotic reaction to Covid-19.

By forcing you to wear a mask, government is forcing you to accept that Covid-19 is dangerous, and so long as people believe that, government can justify all the trillions of dollars of damage they have caused by letting a stupid virus get out of control in the public. Wearing a mask in public is an admission that lets the government off in the many thousands of court cases where they will be sued from now until eternity for the many constitutional violations they have imposed on free people and so long as people are wearing masks in public, it is a cover story for the actions of government.

The threat of a fine, or to suffer some punishment from government for not giving them a cover story for how they mismanaged Covid-19 is not only insane, but it is against all laws in every conceivable way. If government went out and committed murder, which in many ways they have, the murderer cannot go out and put guns of a similar caliber in the hands of the public to make it hard to prove who killed who. That is what the mandate for masks is a way to throw off any blame that might come down on government for mismanaging the coronavirus crises. We can talk about well-intentioned emergency powers trying to protect the public from a safety crises, the interpretation of what elected officials should do under ill-defined health concerns—but when government causes the death of people through micromanaging them, and it ruins the lives of millions of people, then someone has to pay. And they don’t get to hide behind perpetual emergency powers to keep people on their heels and out of the lawyer’s office with more lawsuits. The whole point of the masks is not to protect other people from you, or to mitigate any kind of impact from Covid-19, it is to cover up a crime.

The slowing the spread strategy that government has enacted toward the coronavirus started off as a well-intentioned exercise. It was kind of like a child using a gun and shooting someone who steps into their house late at night while the kid is terrified of whomever is trying to get through their front door. Once inside and after shots are fired the kid realizes that they had just shot and killed their drunk father who had lost his keys at the house of a mistress and was impatient to get inside so he could crash into his bed and sleep off his drunkenness. Everyone was guilty of something in that case but they all could explain their actions away with some “good intention.” Yet murder was the result. That is much the way government had screwed the pooch on Covid-19. For all the malicious intentions that Covid-19 entered our lives, government was like the kid who just shot at it not knowing all the details, and what we ended up with was a dead economy, a political situation that favored the Democrats desperate for some way to win something in the upcoming fall elections. And once they realized their crime, they sought to cover it up with more safety mandates that would keep people from discovering just how stupid they reacted over the coronavirus from the beginning.

Sure, hindsight is 20/20 and there are lots of government officials who regret their panic and would likely do it over again differently. But that doesn’t change the fact that the media drove the story for political reasons and many of them were caught as suckers. Yet it doesn’t mean they get to fine us and punish us for not following their cover story—that the virus was dangerous and what they are doing in reaction to it was for the good of the public. No, what they did was only good for them and they are seeking to make the public play along with their defense. After all, who would bring forth a lawsuit against government while there are mask mandates for the population in general? It sort of drives home to any judge that the government at least believes that what it is doing has the best interest for the public in mind. If that were to come into question, then what judge could say otherwise about any of their judgments?

The wearing of the masks creates something of a legal paradox that keeps the government off the hook for a while, and that’s all its about. But know this, they can’t make you wear the damn things. Government can’t even keep the streets safe from anarchists and race baiters, and they think they have a right to issue you a ticket for not wearing a mask? Please………….that is as grotesque an abuse of the law as there is in our legal system. And for what, to cover up their much bigger crimes of tampering with our economy, destroying our jobs, and ruining lives in just about every way that they could—because essentially they were the dumb, ignorant kid who used a gun they knew nothing about to shoot their drunk dad who was out in the night with ill intentions and malice, yet found themselves shot dead trying to get back into the house by their panicky child. Government hopes that by wearing the mask, people won’t see what idiots they were. But day by day, the more rules they come up with, the more they confirm it.

After Covid-19, We’ll Never Trust Doctors the Same Way Again: Coming to terms with great falsehoods

Look at this loser from Twitter who was trying to infer to me that unless I was an official, doctor in the medical industry, then I was not qualified to talk about Covid-19. The context of the Twitter string in the conversation was that it was revealed over the weekend once again that the CDC had been manipulating the numbers to make everything look bigger and worse than it really was so the media could take the info and run with it to attempt to scare everyone into staying in their homes to stifle the economy and bring about a manipulation of the next presidential election. According to that guy, if you are not a doctor you are not qualified to have an opinion on the matter and we are all supposed to just listen to them like they are the best people on earth. Well, I couldn’t disagree more.

The current strategy around the world from the political class is to use these doctors to create a climate of Marxism—it’s a power grab using people we normally trust to sell the scheme and its really been a disgusting enterprise. The game works like this, government gives out grants that the doctors want, so the doctors will say anything to get the grants, and thus, the doctors become spokesman for Marxism knowingly or unknowingly. And before you know it, perfectly normal people are being forced to wear masks in public just so they can go to ride a roller coaster somewhere, and losers like this Twitter guy are the new useful idiots of world domination of anti-capitalist forces directed by government for the needs of government.

Most of the people I deal with in life are either enormously wealthy people or are thoroughly educated—or both. And if any of those people were tortured under the most vile methods until their very lives were squeezed out of them I doubt seriously that any of them would say about me that I lack intelligence on any subject proposed at any time in the history of the world. More than that, I have never had a conversation with anybody in all my years, among many thousands of people over any of that time where I walked away feeling intellectually inferior. I know a lot of doctors and when I need a specialized opinion on something, I might listen to their advice, but I would never dream to make them the tell all on any topic, and to give them the keys to my car to drive my life over a cliff without question. That is why I knew at the beginning of all this that the whole Covid-19 thing was bullshit in the extreme. I was saying it before anybody else, way before any of the media guys jumped on the bandwagon. I gave them room on that wagon, many of them had larger platforms than I did to get the news out, but I was certainly the first and that was because of my experience on the matter, and ability to think for myself that saw it way before anybody else did.

It has been sad to see Fox News bend their network employees to endorsements driving the whole mask wearing change agency that the rest of corporate compliance has accepted so willingly because they want to believe that these medical doctors are not ruinous in their intentions. Sean Hannity of all people should see the fire under the smoke, but he has been out there buying into the mask wearing to “slow the spread.’ There is no spread, there is no Covid-19 threat, there never has been. People still die of unusual things, but due to 2020 politics Covid-19 was designated as the catch all for medical concern for lots of government reasons and they hid the truth behind a natural trust that we have in the medical industry. Driven deep into our minds for decades is the notion that doctors go to school for a long time, they read a lot more than the rest of us, so they probably know more than we do about things. So when they say something about anything, we should listen. Well, that doesn’t work for me. There is nobody in my life and there never will be who will know more about what’s good for me or my family than me, and that is because nobody has done the work in knowing things more than I have, even among what society considers the most educated. It was always clear to me that Covid-19 was a political power grab rather than anything of real danger to anybody.

Before Covid-19 I might have listened to what the CDC said, or what the opinions of the World Health Organization would say about things, but not anymore. They have shown me how political they are, and to what extent they are willing to lie to get access to political funding. I’ll never trust them again. They have literally wrecked the world and brought great misery to just about every living person across the face of the planet and they have done it as an organization meaning many of them followed each other to the same conclusions trying to sell Covid-19 as a game changing pandemic when in reality it was far from any kind of life threatening virus. They were hoping that it would be, but they took whatever came down the pike during the election year because they viewed it as their last best chance to get rid of President Trump off the world stage and push his supporters into a corner so they wouldn’t be so bold during the upcoming election. The intent all along was to give people a crises, a literal fear of death, to stop the freedom movement that was spreading in just about every country around the world, not just in the United States, but in England, Iran, France, Hong Kong—everywhere all at the same time. The governments of the world were coming under fire by their own people demanding less restrictions on their lives, so government turned to the medical class, which they control through funding, and pushed them to sell Covid-19 as a danger, and that’s how we found ourselves at this place in history.

People like that guy who wrote me want to justify what suckers they have been by slapping at anybody who isn’t a medical official because they want to use that status to hide the stupidity of the whole scam. But I don’t honor such degrees as a direct sign of intelligence. In the big picture, it was obvious to me from the start, so it was easy to see. For people trained not to think for themselves and to trust what the government tells them even if they have managed to do well financially for themselves or have two or three doctorate degrees to their credit, they were at a disadvantage because they trust the system too much, and were blinded by that trust, so I don’t blame them for being suckers on Covid-19. But they don’t get to ride some moral wave of justice as the Covid-19 cases go up, because it all comes down to how those cases are counted. Its always about the measurement and when the measures assist government at the expense of the people who support government but are suddenly hiding under their covers like cowards over a little virus, then we have something like a justifiable war in the works. And the medical industry has egg on its face that will never come off now.

Proctor and Gamble Overstepped its Marketplace Footprint: When corporations become advocates for mask wearing and communism in general

It must have at least been a half a dozen times this past week where people asked me why? Why take such conservative positions when corporate socialism and the tide of the country is headed in the other direction? To the people asking the question they were thinking about it all wrong of course, and their question wasn’t malicious. Ironically, the second thing that they were asking me was what my new book was all about, and because of the amount that I can write and think about, what was taking so long? Well, it just so happens that the answer to the first question was one born out of the second. In my new book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, which I have been heavily editing over these last few weeks with dedication, there is a defense of the western civilization way of doing things—which transcends over into business of course, but politics, philosophy, warfare, art, just about everything and its no small matter to frame into a point of reference. I would never be happy to just write another self-help book for the marketplace, if I’m going to do something, I expect it to have some earth shattering effect on someone reading it for the first time and nothing less. But it has taken some time to whittle that wood into the fine carving that it is. And while its not common by health of a corporate view of the world to take positions on social matters, what it essentially comes down to is that if you don’t have a stable country to function in, then what is the point in trying to run a business of any kind? Look at what politicians have done to the business world over Covid-19. If left to their own devices, politics will ruin all our lives, so to function in the business world, we must have a stable government that we can depend on—which has always been my first concern on social matters and why I do what I do.

The first chapter of my new book is about East meeting Western philosophy on the frontiers of the Wild West for essentially the first time in history and we all know the result, the East lost. Yet we have allowed the East to think it is superior to Western thinking because governments around the world find that people functioning as such are easier to control. Western thinking requires boldness, and it gives birth to a level of creativity that is simply amazing and produces in society so many wonderful things. But the more that Eastern collectivism has taken over in the business world the worse our culture in the West has been. You can most see the effect in entertainment industries such as motion picture development and music. But now we can see the impact in sports, and even food development and it was never so obvious the audacity of corporate socialism which is meant to appease the more aggressive desire to micromanage every aspect of a culture with Chinese communism than P&G in Cincinnati who took a position on aligning social practices to the desires of government with their mask wearing announcement over the 4th of July. I wasn’t surprised by it, but it was a stunning admission to their intent and desire to appease the mobs of government with obvious aggrandizement.

The only way it works, this control that governments and their chosen corporate outlets can mandate such restriction on the population at large is to eliminate competition. P&G obviously thinks that people need their products so much that people will overlook their political positions, which is clearly what they have done by insisting that people wear masks in public as a reaction to Covid-19. You could say the same about Nike, or the NFL over the heavy political push by sponsors to change the name of the Washington Redskins to something more politically desirable. It doesn’t matter what the fans want, what the market driven economy wants, it’s what government wants and that is how bullies in government get what they want out of people in general and control the freedom of any marketplace weakening the effects of capitalism for all the strategic reasons that a person could think of. And now that the push for outright communism is out of the bag, corporate leaders raised in an education system around the world teaching essentially Eastern Philosophy are behaving as they have been taught, which I would argue was wrong from their very foundations. But its why they are so quick to fall in line with government mandates rather than challenging them in court or on the grounds of harming capitalist creativity.

The nature of all markets, especially under the flags of freedom is that competition will make them better and provide the best goods and services to those who want them. But because of the alliance of government and corporations everyone has forgotten that freedom determines the eventual reality unless governments can take away those options for complete control of a market, which does not exist. For instance, to answer P&G’s assumption about wearing a mask if the public wants to return to sports and other mass gathering events, I will say that people will drop sports all together and move on to something more fun if corporations have taken away the fun of doing such things. I can think of two examples just from last week. Nintendo Switch, which I have talked about often is so good in what it does, and continues to sell out all over the world because of the high demand it provides its customers that during all this Covid-19 shutdown nonsense that people have already found an alternative to sports. People are playing video games online with each other more and are replacing traditional social gatherings at a faster rate than anybody is ready to admit. The market money simply went somewhere else, and that is what all these sports teams are going to learn, unfortunately too late. The second thing I noticed was that Kings Island tried to open under the new government guidelines and it was just a pain in the ass for the consumer. Some people did go brave the long lines and mask wearing, but that will not be the norm. If that industry becomes so restrictive, then people will simply find something else to do. They won’t comply as the board members of these various corporations are hoping as they bootlick with politicians to find a happy middle ground everyone can relate to. The consumer isn’t going to put up with such restrictions, and they’ll take their money elsewhere. That is how it works in the real world.

I remember the damage that the baseball strike had on the game in 1994, and I would argue that it never really recovered. The NFL with all this kneeling stuff, and name changing, and the social justice garbage will learn that fans are not going to invest in something that makes them feel bad. The NBA is also going to go through the same process. And when people lose interest in sports they won’t buy the Nike shoes and Under Armor shirts at the store. They will buy something, but if they can’t feel good about the purchase, they’ll move their money elsewhere and that is in essence what my book is about, and why I do get involved in politics rather than adopting to every stupid rule that comes from government to limit what corporations can do in offering goods and services to the vast public. P&G does not have a monopoly on the marketplace even though they have been fooling themselves into thinking so. And they do not have the political leverage to do the bidding of government to wear masks and change the behavior of the marketplace. They have been an influencer, but not a driver. Free market decisions ultimately decide and understanding what free people really want is the key to making decisions about the future and that is the difference between Eastern philosophy and the optimistic gaze of the West toward potential and promise driven by imagination.

Trump at Mount Rushmore: The fight for tomorrow

I knew it was going to be a good night when Air Force One was doing its flyover of Mount Rushmore to a soundtrack of ACDC and Guns & Roses. Naturally, a guy like me was riveted by every broadcast moment of President Trump coming to the Black Hills of South Dakota, a state I love a lot and the state of my favorite governor in the world, Kristie Noam for a fireworks show and speech. It did not let me down and I thought about a lot of things during it. It was when President Obama had cancelled the fireworks at Mount Rushmore that inspired me to start attending Tea Party meetings in 2009 and to turn myself into something of a platform for Republican support. At the time I was getting very valid nibbles out of Hollywood for a career there, the nibbles were in the form of a stuntman due to my bullwhip work and as a writer. That was in the years of 2006 to 2008 and by 2009 the requests for me in Hollywood were getting to the point where I had invitations to live there. So committing myself to the 20 yard line end zone politics was no small matter. When Obama closed down the fireworks at Mount Rushmore to say it pissed me off is an understatement. My reaction was to buy a fancy cruiser motorcycle and travel the country to see what I wanted to save about it, and it started me on that patriotic journey that is now millions and millions of words down the road now, with a lot left in the wake. The fireworks returning with President Trump to Mount Rushmore was the perfect gift to my mind for all the hard work, yet even so, I had some deep thoughts about it all that I enjoyed enormously. By the time the end came with a jazzy rendition of Battle Hymn of the Republic, I had a firm idea of what this 4th of July weekend was all about. Trump’s speech sounded like something I’d write; he certainly went further than any other president in history to tackling the problems that are in front of us.

I feel sorry for liberals who came to their political views in life because they come from broken families our countries where Marxism and hard structured communism were the blue light special of the day. Not all of us grew up with the privilege of good parents and role models when we were kids and in America, we allowed liberalism to seep into all our institutions, especially education, to bridge the gap between where they were in the world and where they needed to be to find freedom and success. But, instead of paying us back for our civility toward them, liberals have revealed that they want nothing but to destroy America for the rest of us who did have parents who cared about us and were given enough structure in our lives to live above the line lives as Americans. One thing is obvious especially in places like South Dakota, people there are normal. There were no stupid social distancing mandates at the Mount Rushmore fireworks, and very few people willing to bend the knee to the ridiculous masks people are wearing for protection from Covid-19. Even as this event was happening Trump’s kid, Don Jr stayed behind because his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle had tested positive for Covid-19 and the media was reporting it as if she had just received the death sentence of AIDS.

It didn’t stop there, most of the afternoon it was reported that protestors were blocking access to the fireworks site, Antifa radicals, stringy haired greaseballs, and Black Lives Matter supports which the more I thought about the images reminded me more and more of the terrorist group ISIS in the Middle East recently in the way they advanced their platform and destroyed history to gain control of people’s minds in the future. But the police didn’t full around in South Dakota, and the protestors were easily removed. It was a reminder of how the next steps in this ideological war would go, once Americans, the real Americans, those who appreciate the country for the doors of freedom it can open no matter what race or sex, realize the tune of the song that the political left is playing, they rally behind to meet the challenge. That certainly describes myself when I first got involved in the Tea Party movement then doing everything I could to get Trump elected in 2016. When pushed and spit at, most good Americas see quickly what must be done, and they see what is happening now. I wasn’t the only one happy about the fireworks in the Black Hills. The people in the audience at that event got it, they understood the significance of the flyovers, the speeches, and the overall meaning of the setting there at Mount Rushmore.

As I said, most liberals grew up without the proper parental benefits and the system we allowed them to create to get them there have failed. They have taken our tax dollars for public education for instance and turned our schools into centers for Marxist study. When I said all this over a decade ago, most people like WLW’s Bill Cunningham couldn’t deal with that idea. At that time I did a lot of radio on that station and the argument was very uncomfortable for people like him. He couldn’t bring himself to believe that public education was taken over by socialism. Like a lot of people in that radio audience, they just wanted the sports scores in life, they didn’t want to deal with a complete failure of our institutions that had been taken over by Marxist ideology, because we had allowed them to be out of compassion for their place in life. I can say that in Cunningham’s mind, he didn’t know his father, he was raised by a single mother—actually in a very similar way to my friend the great George Lang who is the future senator of Ohio’s 4th district. Guys like them did not have the benefits of good family structure, so they relied on the American institutions to make good lives for themselves. But they are the exceptions, not the rule. Most liberals don’t want to be fixed as people into becoming Americans, they just want to get rid of the measure, they want to bring it all down and that is their shocking intention, and the truth of the matter which Trump captured well in his speech.

Trump talks a lot about the silent majority and they greatly do outnumber the people out there who will vote in this election. In places like South Dakota they are easy to see. The media tries to make liberalism larger than it really is by keeping their media centers in the cities where liberalism has crushed people’s spirits, they don’t often get to see the kind of fanfare that goes on in places like Mount Rushmore every day. So the images, speeches and temperament of the audience were shocking to the rest of the world who have been thinking they were going to win after the Covid-19 shutdowns, the advancements of Marxism recently through the “cancel culture” and race riots. And ultimately the impact to the economy that coronavirus and the blue state governors had unleased on us all to destroy football, baseball, and even NASCAR. They thought they had us, and had their foot on our throats. But what they saw at the Mount Rushmore fireworks were lots of people like me, who were awake and yearning for patriotism who were more resolute than ever. It was not the reaction that the liberals were hoping for and their concern of the effectiveness was quite evident.

Fireworks and American Celebration in the Black Hills of South Dakota: Why the Indians lost and why its important to understand

Of course, we can’t as Americans just enjoy a patriotic fireworks show returned to the Black Hills of South Dakota at Mt. Rushmore without hearing about some Indian protest over land rights. For me, this whole argument is as stupid as arguing about who won a Super Bowl two years ago and whether or not the game should be replayed and a new victor determined. I have written extensively about how warlike the Indians were, they did not “own” the land of North America. Indians frequently worked hard to conquer and fight each other, so their fight with the “white man” was nothing new or unusual for them, other than the new wars with the migrants from the East brought with them better technology and were able to win conflicts because of it. So in the battles of Westward Expansion in the context of history, the Indians lost, the Americans won, and its good for the world in my opinion that it came out that way. The Black Hills are the perfect setting for a patriotic fireworks display, and the backdrop of the American Cowboy is the correct thing to think about as defiance is always the theme of 4th of July ceremonies as victory and conquests won are celebrated with grand audacity. That’s not to say that I dislike the Indian plight.

There is a lot that I like about those people and their cultures, just as I like a lot about the Chinese and the Japanese. One of my favorite topics to read about is the many battles that were fought in the Ohio Valley from the 1740s to the 1800s that paved the way for Westward Expansion that literally took place in my back yard. I respect the plight of Tecumseh, but I LOVE the bravery and action of Simon Kenton, Lewis Wetzel, and Danial Boone—along with many others. I put the great novels of Allen Eckert as some of the best that world literature has ever produced, and I’ve read a lot of the great classics including Finnegan’s Wake, Canterbury Tales, and War and Peace. The work by Eckert, especially his grand book That Dark and Bloody River, about fighting the Indians along the Ohio River valley to tame the land for expansion westward I think puts most great works around the world to shame because it is so enormously good. It’s a phenomenal work of literature and I think should be required reading in every classroom, every household, because it captures the American spirit so well. And by no means would I say that Eckert was an Indian hater. Quite the opposite, I think he worked hard to plead their case for being a good team in the game of life who lost—for lots of good reasons. I would say that for me, two of Eckert’s novels about Westward Expansion, That Dark and Bloody River, and The Frontiersman are more valuable to me than the Holy Bible. I cherish those works in such a manner.

But lets make it clear, the plight of the Indian, or of any people of color whether it be from Africa, or Spain through the conquest of Central America where they migrated with the people of the Aztec and Maya to form today’s Mexican, or the Chinese—the battle that was fought for North America was a long running game of liberalism with conservativism, or rather put better for context, the yearning for the primitive with those of progress. In short, the theme is always for liberals that they want tribes of people who listen to a tribal leader for the kind of society that stays in its lines and is always perpetually at the mercy of nature as opposed to the kind of people who do not want a centralized leader and want to be free to create new advancements for an ever changing tomorrow and the inventions of creativity that come from free minds. I often point to the Woodstock music festival that took place a month after the moon landing as a modern example of this. But even better are the events of our current time where bands of tribes such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter are being stroked to create violence against the “colonial” powers and spit in the eye of history. Or the ridiculous corporate support of this wearing mask movement that is aligned with government these days. The intent of course is to rouse in people a superstition about the Covid-19 virus that will push people into yielding to a centralized group of figures, in this case the medical professionals. The Covid-19 virus has become like a deity to primitive people that must have some kind of rain dance to appease the temperament of the gods so that crops will grow or some luck might bestow us all if only we wear a mask to protect us from a disease.

That is why the media has been trying to hype protests in South Dakota by the Lakota Indians ahead of Trump’s visit, because its tribalism that they want Americans to fall for, and a rethinking of history that makes people consider that the technology that won the West was unfair, that humans should have stayed spear chuckers for the rest of their time on planet earth. That is literally their argument every time they talk about Indian land rights, or in changing the name of some high school or NFL team to something less offensive to Indians. They want to glamorize the Indian because they want human kind to stay in their lanes and continue to shout at the sky to appease the gods who live there, rather than building rockets to leave the earth and continue our exploration into space just as the Ohio Valley filled with similar adventurers providing a gateway into South Dakota for America to be born. People yielding to this pressure are stupid and have made a choice not to understand the real game at play. But the results are unmistakable. Any culture in the world could have had the technology that made America, the weapons and philosophy that made America the greatest country on earth. But they didn’t. And if the settlers had taken off their clothes and became like the Indians running around half naked and doing a dance over every little decision, there wouldn’t be a United States of America.

Tecumseh, the great Shawnee warrior from Ohio, born very close to modern day Xenia tried to unite the Indians of the entire nation to fight the surging white people, but he couldn’t do it. The different tribes had too many varying differences to pull it off and Tecumseh was eventually killed helping the British during the War of 1812 at the Battle of the Thames in 1813. Even when the Indians joined with other enemies of America such as the French and English at that time, American spirit still won out, just as it will during these days of Trump’s presidency, because more about what a culture intends to do that makes it good or bad as opposed to some static thought of how a culture is structured, wins in the end. Even different Indian tribes broke out in war against each other after they had joined the French to fight at Fort Duquesne. If the “white man” had never moved to North America, the Indians would not have lived in peace. They were about as peaceful as the protestors of Black Lives Matter or Antifa. They were primitives who saw valor in fighting and were fighting each other for honor when they weren’t praying to the eagle gods for food. And that is what the modern political left wants, because they are lazy thinkers and a superstitious people who would rather function naked and afraid rather than to carry a good rifle on their backs and face the future with a mind to tame it, and bring with them a new culture that could be enjoyed by all. And that is why its significant that the fireworks have returned to the Black Hills of South Dakota, and to specifically Mt. Rushmore. There is a lot more to that mountain than just a carving. It’s a declaration of civilization that happened for the good of everyone, which is something the political left refuses to see.
