Steve Bannon is Out of Jail: What happens next is the fault of those who put him there, they can only blame themselves

I’m just going to say it bluntly, I will never forgive the people who put Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in jail during the year of 2024.  The congress that threw them in jail with a corrupt Biden DOJ were obviously crooked, but what was done, purely for political reasons was the loss of freedom for people of a respectable Trump White House.  When Bannon and Navarro were thrown in jail after spending many tens of thousands of dollars defending themselves from a prosecution that was completely politically motivated, only to end up in the disgraceful loss of personal freedom that they had to endure for more than four months in jail.  Nobody had ever gone that far before and had always respected Executive immunity when it comes to administration business.  What Eric Holder and Lois Lerner had done previously, even Barack Obama, was far worse than what Steve Bannon did, or Peter Navarro.  But the Democrats went there, and so did many Republicans who showed to the world that they might not agree with it, but did little to nothing to stop it.  These members of Trump’s Executive White House team were good people and they were thrown in jail like dogs to have to lose personal privacy completely.  Going to jail is no small matter, going to the bathroom in front of people all the time without a door to close would be terrible, and to have to do it day after day after day.  There was no reason for it and the people who did it to them can never be forgiven.  And I personally never will.  I personally like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, and I think the only way to make things right in the world is to prosecute their prosecutors because they started it and abused the government for their own political purposes, and they have to be paid back.

I know the Trump campaign doesn’t need nor want to get pulled into a lot of controversy, they have an election to win.  But logic says that Trump is going to be back in the White House and when he is, a lot of bad people have to be punished for what they did.  If people didn’t want a revenge tour, they never should have started it.  As I keep saying to everyone who is asking me, if they want someone to blame for what is going to happen to them, they only need to look in the mirror.  Steve Bannan as of today is now out of jail, October 29th 2024, and I’m very glad to see it.  Nobody has suffered really more than the people at the Warroom, people like Grace Chong, Mareen Bannon, and Natalie Winters who have done what they good to keep the popular podcast going while Steve, the primary host, was doing time in jail.  They have put on a brave front, but it hurt them what happened to their friends, just because they happened to run the most popular political podcast in the United States.  Looking back over the last four years, what happened to people like Sidney Powell, General Flynn, Roger Stone and Rudy Giuliani has been disgraceful, and it was all done for purely political reasons, to use the power of government to destroy people who didn’t agree with the party in power.  Never forget the mug shots of the people in Georgia for which Trump was one, who were being prosecuted for questioning the results of the election there.  And nothing more.  Remember Jenna Ellis crying like a baby in front of a judge and turning on Trump to appease those powers that were in office when we talk about revenge in the coming months and years.   It’s not just that they started it and now we have to finish it, but if we want to have a great country we must have justice and people must be punished for the bad things they did.  They don’t get to point at Trump and declare that he’s going to put his critics in jail and prosecute his political enemies when it was they who started it.  They have to be punched in the face, at the very least.

I had quite a few friends who attended the RNC Convention this year in Wisconsin and they wanted to know who I wanted them to get pictures with, and my only real response was that I thought Peter Navarro getting out of jail and going straight to speak at the RNC was one of the most important themes of this election cycle.  There are a lot of things that need to be fixed, but this weaponization of government is the key to so many horrible things that we must rectify.  When we talk about the basic Bill of Rights, they were written because humans have a tendency to do these kinds of things to each other when they gain power, and at the core of all arguments about leadership and the role government plays in society is mitigating the failure of human beings who fall off the rocker.  We cannot have a big government with too much power that can use that power against us for their own profit.  And that is what happened at the very least to Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.  They were being forced to acknowledge a criminal government or be thrown in jail.  And to show that power over them and the general Warroom audience, they lost their freedom and were insulted with a lack of privacy.  It’s as bad as it gets aside from actually killing people.  And because the bad guys had to respect the law to some extent, they only managed to put Bannan and Navarro in jail for four months.  In other countries, they could have easily been killed.  This is exactly why we have a Second Amendment and free speech at the heart of all our law and order.  Because without those checks on government power, the government would be killing off their political rivals without fear of ever having the tables turn on them. 

It is too much to expect government to be honest.  And when people popularly elect an administration as they did with Trump and his team in the White House as Bannan and Navarro were and will be again, a government that attacks that pick of the people broke and  the law in the most fundamental way, they sought to override a government by the people for the people, and to change it into something else.  Something ominous and oppressive.  And I don’t want to hear the crying for all the paybacks that have to occur.  All those bad guys out there should thank God that so many people have been willing to turn to an election for their redemption and not grab guns and take to violence against their political enemies.  Of course, that threat is always looming in the background and it’s the only thing that keeps bad people honest.  People cannot be trusted to act on their own to do what’s right.  They must have the fear of personal destruction to keep them in check.  And in the case of what was done to the Trump team over the last four years, since the bad guys did go too far, is the tables have to be turned, otherwise there is no hope at justice for the years to come.  We cannot have a good country unless those who truly did wrong are punished.  And now that Steve Bannon is out, and the election is happening, what happens next must happen.  The bad guys are bad people for a reason.  And they cannot molest our society without consequences, and the fault for that is entirely on their shoulders.  They did it to themselves.

The Epic Joe Rogan Interview with President Trump: Dreaming big again

I am very proud of President Trump.  Many people around him, including Elon Musk and Melania, for her fantastic entry into Madison Square Garden on the 27th of October, showed their best selves as a result of a fantastic campaign by Trump at the close of the 2024 election season.  That’s how you win, and it starts with effort.  And nobody in the history of the world, looking back, or forward will ever perform what President Trump has over these last four years.  Talk about resiliency.  He has made me very proud and has set a standard that will never be forgotten.  And even though the campaign still has a week or so, what the Trump campaign did at Madison Square Garden was epic and unforgettable.  It was astonishingly good.  However, that wasn’t the most significant thing that Trump could have done to secure his domination in this election cycle.  It was the Joe Rogan Podcast from that previous Friday, October 25th, 2024 where Trump sat down with the hottest podcast in the nation and just talked for three hours straight with no interruptions, no breaks, no notes.  Trump just sat down and spoke to Joe Rogan unscripted for three hours, something very few people could have done.  And Trump was fantastic.  When you add it all up, the week leading up to that podcast, then what was done at Madison Square Garden in New York City, of all places, for a Republican to campaign in what is considered forbidden territory, the sum of it was just jaw-dropping.   Talk about a guy who likes to win and has done everything to do so.  And even those hardened to him couldn’t help but admire the effort.  I think we aren’t just talking about a win with this effort against Kamala Harris, but Trump is playing to have the biggest win in the history of elections, including the dominating win Reagan had over Mondale in 1984. 

Leading up to the Madison Square Garden rally, I was at Kings Island with my family, and specifically, as I reviewed the clips from the Joe Rogan Podcast, I had a fascinating conversation with one of my grandchildren, who is 12.  I was about his age in 1984 when Reagan won in a landslide, and it had a feeling about it, like what we see today with Trump.  Only Reagan didn’t go through nearly what Trump has.  I am excited for my grandchildren, and I was able to explain to him that if everything goes well with this election on November 5th, and we have every reason in the world to believe it will, there is an opportunity for magnificent growth in America that is more than just a little bit, well deserved.  A few short months ago, I didn’t think there was a chance Elon Musk and President Trump would ever do anything together, so having the world’s richest man directly connected to Trump is a massive boost because, as fair or unfair as it is, Musk has brought an enthusiasm that people like George Soros and Jeff Bezos have applied negatively.  Elon Musk has become very effective, and Trump has earned that respect by surviving that assassin’s bullet.  A few months later, I watched this Joe Rogan Podcast as it occurred and listened in wonderment.  There were so many sound clips from that show that made excellent soundbites that even in the hours after, the political left had no countermeasure for.  There was so much said in those three hours that Trump had slammed shut an election victory for him at that moment.  And he wasn’t even done at that time.  Trump and Rogan even talked about aliens in that podcast.  It was quite extraordinary. 

But the promise of prosperity for a young 12-year-old is on the table here.  After all that we have been through as a country, we deserve something good, and as I reviewed the Joe Rogan clips and showed them to my grandson while we were in line for several rides, the enthusiasm was unmistakable.  We were on the cusp of something monstrously big, and Joe Rogan had managed to capture it with an excellent interview.  Trump was his best self during it, leaving in the wake plenty that anybody voting could like and get behind. Trump was swinging for the fences after ten years of some of the worst political treatment anybody has ever had, and it was coming fast not with just one homerun but several that were flying out of the park in a highlight reel nobody would ever forget.  I kept telling my grandson how culture changed a lot in the 80s, economically and socially, once Reagan won that second term; there was prosperity in America from about 1981 to 1989 that came from Reagan’s open embrace of capitalism and the defeat of the Soviet Union through policy that unleashed optimism everyone benefited from.  It was encouraging to see my grandchildren coming to age in this remarkable Trump election that was shaking off so many oppressive elements.  Like Rocky from the movies, Trump could be crawling across the finish line, all beat up and barely standing.  But here was a guy that had gone through all he had and was dressed in his business suit, looking better than ever, and showing himself to be at the height of his power.  At this moment, in line with my grandson, and just ahead of Trump’s appearance at Madison Square Garden, the recent betting odds for Trump to win came out at 94.5%, for the first time. 

Kamala Harris couldn’t have done even a tiny portion of what Trump did, especially the Joe Rogan Podcast.  She’s very unexceptional and has little to say about anything.  And in many ways, that is what Trump managed to crack through all the trouble and present to the world.   As I watched the Joe Rogan clips at Kings Island, I also got a live stream from London where they were having a rally for Trump across from Parliament.  I remember standing in that exact spot in 2017 when Trump had just been elected and watching the world react to it in a very negative way, especially in London.  But now the world was watching this American election and praying for Trump’s return, so this isn’t just America that’s excited.  The world is on edge, hoping for an excellent performance, which Trump has shown them; he has done everything he could to win and win big.  There is a chance for Trump not just to win, but for a period of enthusiasm to come from under the barriers of oppression that has stifled creative growth for over a century, even more.  And Trump had united everyone to his cause, even those like Musk who had been left of center most of his life.  Suddenly, Musk at Madison Square Garden talked about taxation in ways that were even more conservative than the Tea Party’s position.  All of this came because of Trump’s excellent campaign.  We were seeing something epic happening in politics and culture.  And the potential for what comes next for the children coming to age in this period is epic.  In many ways, all this campaign activity from Trump gave the feeling of a great nation overcoming an incredible sickness that had suddenly broken, and everyone felt much better.  And much of that was evident on the Joe Rogan Podcast, which would have been enough; it would have been the highlight of most political campaigns.  But for Trump, it was just another day at the office.  The bar of expectations has been shattered, and everyone has grown positively.  And it was wonderful to see.

Yes, the Media is Filled with Stupid People: If you want the job done right, sometimes you just have to do it yourself

It seems like I am answering many questions lately from people who have long wanted to ask.  Such as, why have I put so much effort into writing a 1200-word article every day on this blog site, much of the time, accompanied with video for over 15 years.  The answer is that I can do a better job than anybody else in the media, and I say that because over the last 20 years, I have known the kind of people who end up in media, and if we want to tell the story by reporting media, then you can limit the news to the type of people who are typically picked to be in it.  And I say that because I would know.  There was a large part of my life where all I wanted to do was to be a film director and movie producer.  If you go through my writing over the last 15 years, you’ll see a very distinct break by me from all media outlets around the first election for Trump.  Once I came out in favor of Trump, everybody turned on me.  But before that, people in the business tolerated me.  They even invited me to movie sets with A-lits actors and charming dinners in Glendale and Santa Monica, California, to discuss brewing projects.  But there came a time around 2009 when Barack Obama was president when we all had to decide.  The Tea Party movement needed the modern version of Thomas Paine, Ben Franklin, and even John Paul Jones, who could work a revolution from the background.  I also got to know good people who broke away in the media, and I was one of them.  Of all my contacts, I knew quite a few people at Clear Channel Radio, which I utilized to advance Tea Party causes, who would eventually move over to Glenn Beck’s Blaze.  So yes, I have had a lot of opportunities in media. Still, I found through personal experience that people who make a living in media are a particular kind of person. If the truth were going to be told about things, then I would have to take away those elements myself, which is what I have been doing now for quite a long time.

So, doing the blog for me is similar as to why Trump wants to run for president.  It costs him money to run for a political office, and everyone knows what he has been through to do it.  We need the same kind of commitment from people who can afford to, at all levels of society, if we want to make America Great Again.  I gave up on the idea of being one of them in media by identifying myself with the Tea Party movement, and I found over the next five or six years that I could do a lot better on my own.  I know the kind of people who read my blog and do it because they get better news than they do from newspapers and broadcasts, and they get it every day in a way that tells a whole story on a topic instead of some little fragment.   And I don’t do it for fame or opportunity, but because it’s a job that needs to be done. It could only happen if you didn’t care what people thought and didn’t need anybody to pay you to do the job.  So, from top to bottom, I know media personalities at all levels and understand the personality types who survive in the business, and I determined that I would do the job myself if I wanted it done right. 

I would say most media types are whores.  I found it reprehensible what Clear Channel did to Doc Thompson, a pretty good friend who worked directly for Glenn Beck after quite a lot going on behind the scenes.  For a long time, I was careful not to call people out too much because chances were, they would call me to be on a show.  I’d write a book, and my publishers didn’t want me to rock the boat personally with things, so I tried to keep personalities out of my comments.  But during Trump’s last term, when I saw how everyone treated him, especially in the media, I just tossed all that out the window and stopped answering the calls or appearing anywhere.  Of course, I alienated people at a significant personal cost to me.  But that’s OK.  I have done what I think is a good job on a desperately needed topic.  Because most people who are in the media, and survive there, aren’t very good people for many reasons.  In Cincinnati, there was a time about a decade ago when I knew most every media personality on a first-name basis, and I had their phone numbers and would send them text messages often throughout the day.  Even in 2019, when I was on vacation with my wife at the Epcot Center in Florida, I had the media people at Channel 12 wanting to know the latest on the Trump front in Butler County, and I reluctantly took the call because I liked the guy.  But it was a nowhere story to feed a narrative they didn’t really want to get.  All the media personalities were cheerleading for the removal of Trump, and I lost any desire to correspond with them. 

So because the media is such a mess, and when Trump calls them “fake news,” I know all too well what he means.  He understands it because he was a media darling for a long time, and they invited him into their world.  Trump used that knowledge to be president and started to untie all the shoes of the rat-infested substructure of all media during that first term.  There were a lot of people who had to make hard decisions, and I was certainly one of them.  And I’m glad I did.  I think if I hadn’t poured millions and millions of words that people needed to hear into this AI-infested media climate, there are a lot of influential people who would only have had Fox News and some conservatives from New York writing books to help shape their courage where it matters in day to day matters.  I have always been good at media, like many people.  But what was different about me was that I could do other things, too.  I didn’t have to eat out of the hand of some money investor who wanted to drive a media narrative, especially once Trump became involved in the story.  I was free to talk about Trump any way I wanted.  Many might remember the radio broadcasts I did out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, from 2016 to 2018.  It was a privately owned radio station where I frequently hosted Saturday shows.  I would talk about the benefits of the Trump presidency, and even they were reserved because it was the culture of media that was a problem, and they needed advertising dollars to stay open, and they were always worried about being shut down by the FCC and their advertisers.  So, I have been writing this blog for a long time now.  I am happy with the work that has been a slow trickle working in the background for a long time.  And I have done it because I wanted to, because I wanted people to hear at least a critical opinion that was not at all whored out to any money tied interest.  I’m glad all that occurred.  But yes, from my knowledge, I can say it: the media is filled with people who are not very smart and incapable of seeing the big picture.  And the big picture is where the story always was.  Telling that story takes a perspective of freedom that cannot come from an insider.  Of course, the cost to all that is lost opportunity, financially.  But the value exceeds money by a lot because, in truth, there is an expansion of the human race for which we presently sit on the precipice in ways that seemed impossible just a few years ago.  Yet, here we are.  And yes, it was all worth it.  Things don’t always work out the way you think they will.  But often, because you do things for the right reasons, things work out for the better.

The Rebellion Against the Global Managerial Class: What causes all war

When the British were finally forced to leave New York after the Revolutionary War, as one of the final acts after their defeat at the Battle of Yorktown, they imagined that the Americans would fall apart as soon as they left the city.  But once on their ships, an officer remembered that he had left something behind in a home he had been occupying and returned to get it.  The ship landed, and the officer returned to the house and retrieved what he had left behind, which he had expected to be a dangerous enterprise.  But he was stunned, as was the rest of England, to learn that the Americans were capable of self-government and were better off with them gone.  The world in America was better without the micromanagement of an oppressive centralized force.  And that is still the fight we have to this day; a managerial class of bureaucrats is attached to globalism and wants every corner of the globe to submit to their authority.  People have a raw belief about other people and the role authority plays in their lives.  And the truth is, the kind of freedom demonstrated for the first time in the world, the creation of a new nation and a people who governed themselves was bound to occur at some point in time.  America was able to happen due to a unique period in history where shipping allowed for international trade and communication just enough to make a new country possible.  But it was still too big to have all these jealous managerial people poking their noses in everyone’s business.  For a few hundred years, America was left alone because, for one, it didn’t have much value.  So, most of the other countries in the world didn’t care much about what happened to America.  That is until it became one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and mass communications became possible. At that point, the same jealous people were thrust together into a conflict that is very much the story of our modern day.

When Barack Obama says that he doesn’t understand how we became so divided, as he did at a recent rally for Harris, as the poll numbers show his Marxist revolution in the American government is coming to an end, I don’t think he does understand his role in the mess.  He was brought into that micromanagement culture of government to be a kind of communist parent.  So, like that English officer returning to New York, this concept of self-government just doesn’t make sense to him.  And, of course, there are people within the United States and worldwide who are just as perplexed.  I would call them broken people who crave government to be a parent in their lives.  They are insecure people who do not sustain themselves properly, so they are attracted to group affiliations.  But what caused the Revolutionary War in the first place is the same desire behind the MAGA movement now.  Everyone is shocked by what they are seeing in global populism, much less government, because most people never dealt with the cause of freedom in the first place.  When we talk about a Deep State and an administrative state, we are talking about people who are personally insecure and who want to rule over people in a managerial class kind of way.  You see it at every level of society, where a superior bosses around an inferior for the joy of being in control over someone else.  And this is the essence behind all forms of globalism.  They want to control value so that they can rule over the people who want a piece of that value.  But they do not understand why people would not want to be governed by them.  Or why more value is created in a culture that rebels against a management class of overseers. 

Another common theme that has not been well understood is that the Revolutionary War was about who controlled currency.  One of the plans the English had for the newly found Americans was to crush their economy by flooding the market with counterfeit money, making all the pay and exchanges made to people worthless, and essentially destroying the effort of freedom because nobody could afford the basics in life, particularly on the frontier of private property.  This was a continued problem with George Washington, who had been very successful before he became involved in the war or the presidency.  For his efforts, he was paid with worthless money, just as everyone else was, and that misfortune lasted the rest of his life.  But Americans didn’t turn away from freedom over a lousy economy that perplexed the world and its managerial class overseas.  They never understood it, and that holds to this day.  The same kind of people who lost America to the Revolution are handling our money supply now, and they have been purposely trying to destroy our economy for the purposeful incursion of ruling over America from the newly created United Nations.  To answer Barack Obama’s question, this rebellion would always occur, even if it meant the destruction of our economy.  When that destruction was most utilized in a global policy with the creation of the Covid bioweapon that shut down the world economy, the opposite of what they thought would happen occurred.  Just as that English officer was surprised to see how Americans behaved once the managerial class of the English military packed up and left New York after that war of independence. 

The monetary policy of imposing control over those who were supposed to be happy as subordinates was never understood psychologically, so the world has made the same mistakes repeatedly.  And Americans were taught by all the wrong people about how the world was supposed to be.  What was ignored was how people wished to live, and those forces never reconciled.  And that is the heart of what we see in this current election.  People do not want to be ruled by a managerial class.  It doesn’t matter if it’s other countries, centralized bankers, aliens from space, the World Economic Forum, or China, no matter who it is. People don’t want to be controlled by a managerial class, and America shows the benefits of what freedom produces in people.  Even when attempts to destroy our economy were utilized, people did not rush back to the arms of global overseers; instead, they became more rebellious.  And are electing Trump to get the globalists out of our back pockets.  And the more managerial overseers try to keep their hands in our pockets, the more anxious we have become.  But none of this is new; it’s just that the world is finally catching up to the nature of all human beings.  They don’t want a micromanaging parental figure ruling their lives.  They want freedom from all that, and the next several years are going to be very surprising to those globalist types.  They never reconciled what that English officer learned that day in New York, which is just as accurate now as it was then.  There is nothing that this management class can do to change human nature.  Things will never be for them as they would like them to be because that is not the nature of human beings anywhere.

The Secret to Elon Musk’s Success: His high score on the video game Diablo

I could tell Elon Musk was expanding his intellect as much as a few years ago, and I covered it as I witnessed it.  It was in the kind of books that he was reading, and because of that, I’m not surprised by his support of President Trump.  The only way you can remain a Democrat with Marxist foundations is through ignorance.  When you start learning things, you can’t support dumb politics.  While Elon Musk has always been intelligent and very successful, his political positions are more a result of knowledge than of upbringing or regional considerations.  For him, the realities of running his businesses have driven him to learn more to survive and, ultimately, provide him with a political point of view that facilitates productivity.  Having compassion for other people is one thing.  Destroying the world over compassion is quite another, and I could tell that as Elon Musk dealt with the realities of politics through his businesses, especially the Department of Labor trying to push him to unionize his Tesla plants, he was heading toward more small government than an imposing, all-powerful government that could take everything you own, and sit on FAA permits because you weren’t supporting their political party to stay in power.  For that matter, President Trump also went through the same kind of conversion throughout his life.  That doesn’t make all these people suddenly conservative the way I would be.  I grew up in a conservative area around a lot of conservative people, so I started that way.  As I learned more in life, my roots in conservative thought deepened.  But logic dictates that we all get to the same place once we figure out how the world works and the people in it strive to live in it. 

So, with all that said, people wonder why Elon Musk is so successful and why those who work for him are so engaged.  Now, I talk to many people at a consulting level.  If people listen to me, they are successful.  If they don’t, then they fail.  There isn’t any muddy middle.  There is no consensus on where everyone gets a participation trophy; success is a very rigid standard, and I always get asked about it by compelling people worldwide.   My joint statement toward any successful enterprise is that engagement is the most important and challenging thing to manage in a business.  You can see it in sports when two NFL teams play football.  Usually when one team wins over another given that all the players are the same essentially, they all weigh the same, they are all just as tall and have talented players at all the positions.  The element that determines winners from losers is the coaching staff and their ability to get good engagement from their players.  Labor unions tend to be unproductive because people aren’t motivated to engage in the business through collective bargaining.  They are always fighting the company management they work for to do as little as possible and still get paid wages at a highly engaged value.  Getting people engaged in a project or company is elusive, and the easiest thing that most management turns to is wages, hoping that people will be motivated to make more money and that they might work harder as a result of how much they are paid.  But of course, as I always say, money is not a good motivator.  Throwing money at people does not get people to be more engaged; most of the time, it lowers it as more money often destroys the things that make a person good and strive to be better.  Once a person stops striving for goals in their life, they tend to be less engaged in the things they do, from raising children to buying a new car. 

I thought it was interesting that Elon Musk during the middle of October 2024 had launched new Tesla products, the Tesla Bot and the Tesla Taxi, then a few days later launched with SpaceX, the first Super Heavy Booster into space carrying a Starship, then landed it back at Boca Chica right on target to be captured by the giant chopsticks, to be reloaded with fuel and to launch again.  It was a remarkable feat of engineering by thousands of people, and Elon Musk had created the culture that performed it.  But Musk wasn’t done.  The next day, SpaceX used a Falcon Heavy to launch the Europa Clipper, which is going to Jupiter to study a moon there, and it came off without a hitch.  That launch alone a few years ago would have resulted from a decade of work at NASA.  But after all that, do you know what Elon Musk was most proud of?  He leveled up in the Diablo video game, which he does quite a lot playing video games.  With all his success, he lives in a little shack at Boca Chica, runs around in t-shirts, and plays video games with his co-workers.  He’s one of the wealthiest people in the world, if not the richest, and he has no pretense of measuring success the way we traditionally do, with great wealth hanging from him in a social context.  And he cares about his high score in a popular video game. 

What is expected at Elon Musk companies, and I know this personally, is that he recruits and retains highly engaged people. Business schools have yet to unlock this mystery because everyone learns the same wrong things.  Elon Musk does a lot that goes well beyond Lean Manufacturing techniques, and no consulting firms in the world have yet figured it out.  But I’ll tell everyone here for free because I like you.  The secret to Elon Musk’s success is that he does not, as a management culture, rob his employees of their emotional investment in their work.  By providing a job, they have a means to make a living.  But he does not impose himself on their work and instead removes barriers to success.  Not success measured in monetary value.  Once people can pay for their lives, families, homes, and social engagements, they want to do work they feel good about.  Elon Musk gives them jobs in which they can invest to create high-engagement cultures.  Cultures where people want to work and express themselves through good work.  If you watch employees at SpaceX, you see them highly engaged at all hours of the day, 7 days a week.  Because they like their work, and it shows in what they do. Most companies miss these traits altogether because engagement is challenging to measure.  But once it is unlocked, the results are apparent.  Elon Musk showed how he gets high engagement by not being pretentious at so much success, especially after a week where he started it on stage with President Trump at that now famous rally at Butler, Pennsylvania.  Musk was equally impressed with his high score on Diablo; people see that in him and can relate to him.  When an owner or job provider does not rob people of the value of their work through social conditions that impose a static order upon them, people will then invest in themselves into a project because they want to, for all the same reasons that people play video games with no monetary compensation provided, at all.  People do things because they feel good doing them.  The world is far better off for a business or capitalist enterprise when people are engaged in their jobs because the products produced reflect that engagement.  And when people are allowed to invest in themselves and not be robbed by some cultural stigma, success always follows.   And winning becomes expected, not just some fantasy folklore from some island that time forgot.  But it is available to all who dare to tap into its vast secrets and opportunities for the curious and hardworking.

The Ruthlessness of Smiling Faces: What people are really up to

First of all, even though I am talking about a recent fast draw competition with the Ohio Fast Draw guys in Ohio, I am not talking about that event, but many other things that are relevant in ways that aren’t always so obvious.  Human nature is what it is, and all things are applicable.  But this particular example is appropriate across the tapestry of competition.  And to that point, I am used to extreme ruthlessness in human nature.  I don’t see the smiles that people provide to disarm your sensibilities as being innocent.  I see the worst in people because that’s my experience based on years of opinion.  So, when I attended a recent Ohio Fast Draw competition in Cleveland, I went out in support for the group because the attendance was dropping, and I wanted to boost the membership with my presence.  But from my point of view, it was hard in the second half of the year to attend the events, starting with the one in August, which I missed.  It was a late night with many good GOP people, including Bernie Moreno, Warren Davidson, George Lang, and many others, and we stayed way too late listening with a VIP perspective to a Jason Aldean concert.  I didn’t get on the road in time to get to Cleveland, which broke my routine for the year.  Up until that point, I had attended all the Ohio Fast Draw competitions.  But August, September, and the rest of the year until Christmas are too busy for me.  My goal for the year was to get to all the Ohio Fast Draw competitions and show my support for them.  But once I missed the one in August, it bothered me to have that intention disrupted.

My gun minutes before a competition

I learned at the next event I did manage to get to that other shooters were not unhappy that I did not show up.  I had been winning many trophies, and people felt that because I wasn’t there, they’d get a better chance to win themselves.  I didn’t let it bother me because I like the people who are typically in Fast Draw.  I understand and respect the ruthlessness of human nature.  So, I put those thoughts into a category of their own to deal with as I saw fit.  Even so, I tried hard to make the next competition to support the organization.  I didn’t have time for it.  I didn’t need any more trophies for the year.  I just wanted to see attendance grow, not recede.  I think Fast Draw should be a sport that more people participate in; it’s better than golf, bowling, or other competitive events.  But a lot of young people these days don’t know much about gun fighting because it’s not part of their cultural experience, as more woke activities have become part of their lives.  So, I am interested in seeing organizations like Ohio Fast Draw survive well into the future, and I would like to see them grow in popularity.  But when I showed up to the most recent Cleveland event, I was already strung well too thin, and didn’t have the time to give.  I attended to support friends.  I was disappointed that I wasn’t very welcome and that many of them hoped I wouldn’t show up.  Now, things get murky because people often don’t say what they really mean.  And they usually hide malicious intent behind appearing helpful.  So people think that what they believe deep within themselves is hidden from the outside world and that nobody really knows what’s going on if they don’t admit to something.  Well, I know everything that goes on.  I understand every aspect of human nature, so nothing stays hidden from me.  I know what is going on with everyone at all times.  And it wasn’t hard for me to figure out what was happening when I arrived at the Cleveland competition. 

In Fast Draw, severe rules for activity on the firing line, safety, and other considerations are rigorous.  Some of the more competitive people in these events go crazy when they hear a cell phone and people whisper in the background while shooting.  They get mad at every little distraction.  So, given that context, I thought it was highly unusual that at my gun check at this event, there was so much concern over my gun having a sticky trigger.  I didn’t ask for any advice; it was the same gun I had used to win several competitions that year, and it worked well for me.  But many Fast Draw shooters perform a lot of work on their guns, hoping to give themselves a slight edge in speed.  So it mystifies them that I use a mostly stock gun and that it has a heavy hammer pull.  Now, given some of the people involved in volunteering to tear my gun apart looking for a problem that wasn’t there, I thought being friendly and respectful was more important than showing anger that I was missing the opportunity to practice before the competition started.  I think they were genuinely trying to be helpful.  But I also felt that something more malicious was going on, and the longer it went on, the more angry I got. 

At the end of a lot of work, several shooters offered to loan me a gun to shoot with that day, which, on the surface, appeared helpful.  But they all know what distractions and changing anything on the firing line do to the process.  So, I found it disrespectful to see that they had made a point to look like helpful behavior to sabotage my approach to shooting in that competition.  I didn’t ask for help.  I didn’t want any help.  And I would have rather been left alone because there was more going on than trying to appear helpful.  The combined efforts were an attempt at sabotage because as the day progressed, it became pronounced that I was the center of many of their thoughts, and they had prepared for that event with an intention against me personally.  Here’s the deal: I won a lot at these competitions because of my shooting method, not because of the tricks of the gun or luck.  My times are consistently good because I shoot close to the hip in a fashion that looks slower to go fast.  And the frustration against me has been that I look like I’m not trying to go fast all the time and shoot in the .300s and even .200s.  I could, but in Ohio Fast Draw, missing the target would become more common, and you would get penalized for missing.  You are judged on speed and accuracy.  I ended up doing OK for the day.  The worries about my gun and the overall process of the day did have an impact, but I worked through it.  Part of the benefit of competitions like that is that learning to manage stress under tremendous pressure is the real takeaway.  So I thought it was a positive experience.  But I was very disappointed to see that so many of those other shooters were happy to see me having a bad day.  They wanted it, which was a good lesson that applies to most things.  It’s the way people are.  You hope that people will overcome that natural tendency.  But Fast Draw is meant to be ruthless, and people being friendly to each other is only a cosmetic ruse for their true intentions.  While I wanted to think more about people, it wasn’t enjoyable to see where their minds were.  The main rule in gun fighting competitions is that you don’t point out every little rule that might distract a shooter on the line, then break all those rules to gain personal advantage.  That behavior might help a person win a few times here and there.  However, it will destroy the initiative of any future shooters who want to take up the sport and grow in a positive direction.  This is precisely why attendance this year has been light and is only getting worse.  When it comes to human behavior, I don’t miss anything, and the moral to the story in this case is that a short-sighted win only hurts the future, which is becoming obvious to everyone.

I expect ruthlessness out of people.  And again, I’m talking about more than my experiences with the Ohio Fast Draw Association.  I would like to relax and spend time with people of common interest in shooting sports.  But often as it is in most things in life, you don’t get what you want.  You get what you get, and you either deal with it, or you are crushed by it.  So with that in mind, don’t try to hide ruthless behavior through a thin veil of helpfulness.  I see it all for what it is, at every level that it’s presented.  There is nothing about human nature, or action, that I do not see. And I see it in ways that most people even hide from themselves. There’s a reason I don’t say much to anybody, it’s because I am perpetually let down by other people all the time and I don’t expect much out of them.  And I don’t ask much of anybody because I don’t want them to have to lie to me when they have no intention to live up to my expectations. I have to manage my disappointment in people by limiting how much I interact with them.  But never think I’m not going to see the truth that is really there looming in the background.  Even if it’s just a shooting sport in recreation, or if it’s millions of dollars at stake.  It’s all the same game played by all the same kind of people for all the same reasons.  People in life want the least path to success with the least effort.  And they hate people who work hard and develop themselves skillfully.  As I have said many times, which is a big feature of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, “Rules are made by the losers of the world to give them an advantage over the competent.”  And as much as I know that rule to be the fact of life, it does bother me each time it is confirmed true by reality.

I Want a Tesla Bot: We need robots to fill the jobs of a lazy workforce and expanding economy

I was very encouraged by the recent product launch of Tesla’s new Optimus Bot, which was revealed to the world just before the SpaceX landing of the Super Heavy booster at Boca Chica, Texas.  Not that the launch event should have taken a back seat to anything, but the SpaceX news was so tremendous that it did.  But to answer the question about the Tesla Bots, I would certainly buy one.  If all they cost is $20-$30K, I could see buying a lot of them because, essentially, they would be like your very own C-3PO from Star Wars, a mechanical assistant to all the things a human just doesn’t have time for.  When Elon Musk said during the product launch that he thought these would be the hottest-selling products in the world, I think he was right.  In the future, they will be as common as a calculator is today.  When calculators first came out, they were a bit of a novelty.  But their usefulness was quickly appreciated.  The Tesla Bots, called Optimus, have been criticized for their flamboyant walking around and pouring drinks for people, as engineers were operating them, but the concept was good.  I’ve seen enough from Tesla AI to know that they’ll get all the bugs worked out and that these Tesla Bots will learn enough from humans to self-navigate and interact with their environment properly.  The ability of SpaceX, another Elon Musk company, to land that Super Heavy Booster back to earth from space with AI technology is essentially much more complicated than teaching a robot to walk around a room and perform basic tasks, so we are seeing something very new being launched here by Tesla that will be tremendously beneficial to the future. 

I enjoyed watching President Trump work a McDonald’s drive-thru. That was a brilliant campaign move, and it showed just how good he is as a person to recognize that something like that needed to be done and that, as a billionaire, he would do it to show people he can relate with them.  Most people work a fast-food job at some point as a first or second job, and I think they are extraordinary experiences.  When I review job applications for opportunities, I look for them to reveal fast food experience since I believe those are great places to learn a work ethic.  Fast-food restaurants are high-pressure environments where speed and quality go hand in hand, and it’s good for people to be exposed to them.  Almost every human being interacts with a fast-food restaurant, likely several times a week.  So, one thing we all have in common is our need for food and the way that food is made and delivered.  So, there was a lot about President Trump working at that McDonald’s in Pennsylvania that was good.  But I talk about them a lot because it’s one of the first places where you can see a weakness in the labor market.  I go to McDonald’s a lot, all over the country, especially in Ohio, as I travel around to fast-draw competitions.  And I see a lot of short staffing in fast food places where most have never recovered from Covid.  I have worked at several fast-food restaurants personally, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and even Frisch’s, so I know what kind of management decisions go into closing down a second drive-thru window or a dining room over staffing concerns.  I understand why people call off work and why they come to work; I learned a lot during my various jobs in the restaurant industry when I was young.  More than any other source of education.  Until you’ve run the front grill, the drive-thru grill, and the fry station all by yourself at a Wendy’s at the Kings Island location, which was busy all day long, you haven’t yet lived.  But I did that job at the time better than anybody in Cincinnati routinely, and I liked it because it was so challenging.  And for the critics out there, which I have many, I worked that job at the Kings Island location as a second job, working 30 hours per week, including weekends, and my wife and I only had one car.  So I rode a bicycle to get to work through the snow and pouring rain even when the temperature was -10 below zero.  And I never called off.  I never got sick.  And I was never late.  Ever!  My former employers could all testify to those facts. 

The point is that our labor market is permanently damaged.  Even if it were like it used to be, where people had a decent work ethic and showed up for work, we would still have a problem.  Our economy needs to outgrow the limits of a workforce.  Not to be penalized by it.  Meaning we cannot limit our workforce to the limits of labor.  This has been a deliberate scheme by globalists to harm the productivity of American culture and capitalism in general, and we are today seeing the effects of decades of this erosion.  So the future needs an alternative, especially in what I can see as a practical reality in about ten years for the first McDonald’s to be launched literally in space, either on Mars, the Moon, or an orbiting space station.  Don’t laugh; things will move fast once President Trump is elected, and things will happen technologically in a whirlwind. But what we can’t have happen is that our management forces waste all their time trying to call a bunch of lazy kids into work who would rather sit at home and play video games.  I see these Tesla Bots first being applied to industries such as fast food to serve in those much-needed positions.  They run for up to 20 hours, so for basic things like prepping food and delivering it out of a drive-thru window, these Tesla Bots could fill the many job needs that are currently a big problem in the fast food industry.  And they’d be quicker and more efficient than many of the slack-jawed losers currently in those positions. 

Yes, of course, labor unions will have a problem with automated robots doing the work of human beings.  But the economy needs to grow, and labor limits can’t stifle it.  Humans and robots will help each other much the way they do in Star Wars, as natural extensions of human intellect.  What I have often said about Star Wars is that through art and entertainment, the human race has been working out this upcoming reality for a long time.  Now that we have a few generations who understand the concept through fiction, such as Elon Musk, who was exposed to it as a youth, an engineering reality can take place, which we see unfolding in our present time.  The technology is there, the concept has been there, and all we have needed was a President like Trump to come in and take the restrictor plates off the economy to set everything loose.  And that is what we see going on in October of 2024.  I can see these Tesla Bots performing critical tasks in almost all basic manufacturing, and they will cost a lot less than an average employee, but they never stop, only to be recharged.  So, I can see the Tesla Bots expanding sovereign countries’ economic potential and fueling the labor needs for our civilization to move into space.  What would be better to start a civilization on Mars or Europa than a fleet of Tesla Bots going ahead of humans and building small colonies on their own so that when humans arrive, everything is nice and cozy for them to start the actual work?  I think Tesla Bots will be a big part of my life, and I can see buying thousands of them over the next 20 years.  And I think they will tremendously benefit the world we have been preparing for over the last several thousand years, and I’m very excited about it.

Reality Cannot Be Defined By The Lazy Losers: Competition makes everything better

I’ve heard a lot about reality lately, defined by those who are not so ambitious.  Where reality in a proposed Marxist world is determined by the lazy and not very skilled, truth be told, at the age I’m at now, I get asked a lot why I do so many competitive events.  Do I need a few more trophies for my wall and office?  Personally, I don’t.  But I do get involved in those kinds of things, especially in shooting sports, because it tells me a lot about people in general, and I get a kick out of just how much competitors will do as rivals to make themselves better.  When I go to a competitive event, even if I don’t mean malice on my part, I have watched people drive themselves to near insanity with competitive zeal.  And I think that’s a good thing, and I enjoy inserting myself into places where competition is most needed.  And out of all the trophies I have won over the years when I look at them, I don’t so much think of the many victories but of what I was able to do to provoke more competition into people’s lives.  I did get a kick out of a recent shooting competition where there was a not-so-subtle attempt by most of the shooters to distract me from the task of winning.  It’s like a free throw shooter in basketball with audience members waving in the background to divert your attention from the accuracy needed.  But that’s all part of the process, and in the wake of all that competition, things have improved dramatically, which is one of the critical points of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business.  Capitalism over socialism.  Competitiveness over lazy stagnation.  I consider my work in the world good if I have an army of rivals up all night sweating like pigs, trying to plot some way to beat me.  In that way, I purposely go out of my way to improve the world by making myself a target for that improvement.  And it makes me happy to see people try so hard.

But regarding those shooting competitions, the ones who want to win not by competing, but by some form of sabotage, baked into that mentality are the various levels of Marxism that have so permeated our society.  If people want to win by penalizing you somehow, they aren’t trying to win with a fair fight.  They are trying to win with sabotage.  But even in those circumstances, you can learn much about people and what holds back a culture.  So my interest in shooting sports is to get to that raw essence that is at the heart of all human activity.  Shooters are very competitive and, to a large degree, extremely malicious when left untended.  But they don’t disguise it the way you see in other fields of activity, and it always gives me a good perspective on the human condition.  And that is the nature of reality.  I recently stopped by several McDonald’s restaurants for food while traveling for a fast-draw competition with a particularly intense competitive environment as a backdrop for the whole event.  I noticed that the first window had been abandoned out of the standard two drive-thru windows because of staffing problems.  I’ve talked a lot about McDonald’s restaurants in 2024 because they suffer from short staffing due to a bad Biden economy.  And that the trend of the average worker is to say that such a limitation is “reality.” 

We have allowed Marxism into our world, including the attitude in competitive events where the expectation is to penalize the competitor and to prop up the weak with lowered standards.  When I am in shooting competitions, I love to hear the person beside me breathing deeply and trying hard to beat me like it’s the only thing they have been thinking of for months beforehand.  It is good to be the one everyone wants to beat, even if they have to rig the game.  Because it breaks loose the otherwise mundane existence we see in all Marxist cultures.  When lazy losers and the unskilled try to alter reality with lowered expectations, a great detriment is being imposed on our culture.  I’d rather see people go insane over competition than try to make reality a dismal frontier of bland scrutiny.  At one of those McDonald’s restaurants during that shooting competition, they did not open both drive-thru windows, but the young girl working that second window was trying to keep her times down with great effort anyway.  And when I told her she was very speedy, her face beamed excitedly because she was glad someone noticed.  She would be paid to be fast or slow on that drive-thru window, all the same.  But she chose to go fast, and I’m glad she did because I was in a hurry, as usual.  There is a lot to do in the world; the quicker we can do it, the better.  And that pressure is healthy; people need that pressure.  They need to feel that competitive zeal.  They need to think of hatred for a competitor getting in their grill.  Because in their efforts to defeat you, they will become better people. 

So, in that respect, we don’t accept reality as defined by the lazy losers of the world.  For instance, I showed up at a gun shoot recently, and most of the people there obviously didn’t want me to arrive.  They hoped I wouldn’t come to the event because they would have a better chance of winning if I wasn’t there.  So they conspired to act concerned about some mechanical issue that was going on with my gun during its initial inspection.  So, before I knew it, a small team of people wanted to help resolve the problem, which, to me, wasn’t a problem.  But for them, it was necessary to put doubt in my head and distract me in the confidence of my equipment.  I tried to be as polite as possible during all this because what is looming in the background is a recognition that they are trying to keep reality pinned down to a status quo that facilitates their lackluster speed and endurance.  And it’s gotten so bad over the years that when people find out I’m coming to a competition, they withdraw so they don’t have to suffer embarrassment.  So many games go on psychologically and essentially struggle to keep reality from being defined by the best but by the laziest and least ambitious.  To see it clearly, I go out of my way to compete in many endeavors so that I don’t lose touch with that feeling and that hatred that usually comes from competition that is never really friendly. If people are being nice to you, it’s because they are trying to take the edge off you to make it easier for them with less vigor and expectation.  A competition between friends is a nice concept.  But truthfully, it’s always ruthless, and it should be.  At least honesty, in reality, is defined by the solid and competent, who push the lazy and lackluster to perform better than they otherwise would.  When I look at my many trophies, I think of each one of those occasions and remember that to win meant you had to push other people toward improving themselves for the better.  And in those small ways, big things do happen when competition is stiffest, and you fill the minds of your rivals with fantasies of victory for which they would never even attempt otherwise.  And in that way, reality is defined by those who work hardest and are the best.  Not those too lazy to strive to be anything more than a slug.  When you push yourself to compete at anything, it helps to see the need for competition where it’s needed most.  This is why I spend my time doing competitions rather than sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch waving at cars as they drive by.  Making the world better starts with a good competitive attitude and a lot of hard work.

Nobody Wants Beta Men, Not Even Women: The disaster left behind by progressive Democrats and their plots of doom

Trump was hilarious at the Al Smith Dinner in 2024 by calling various men from the Democrat party essentially women, and people laughed because they knew the truth.  Even women.  This whole women’s rights thing has been a disaster.  Not that we should treat women unfairly and not allow them to vote and own property, but in the more subtle strategy of destroying the American family.  There are a lot of things coming undone in 2024, and this issue of wokeness and robbing society of extraordinary women and powerful women is being rejected as we speak, and Trump gets that trend.  He played on it with jokes that were more than true, making them funny and a forbidden subject that has been taboo in our society.  When Trump told Chuck Schumer, with him sitting right next to him during the speech, that Chuck might still get a chance to be the first woman president, the joke became the highlight of the evening and more than a little bit true.  This discussion has mainly emerged during the campaign season of 2024, with Democrats digging in on toxic masculinity by exhibiting Doug Emhoff, Kamala’s husband, as an example of what the 21st-century man should be.  But as the Harris campaign moved in that direction, people started doing some digging and found out that Kamala’s husband had been naughty to women, treating them in very scandalous ways, slapping them, and forcing them to flirt with him at his law practice.  This brings up the secret behind the entire Democrat party: they often present a public profile to hide what they do in public.  And by talking about toxic masculinity, they hope that the low-information voter will overlook all their evil actions.  Just as they have done with Tampon Tim, the proposed vice presidential candidate for Kamala Harris, as he has promoted tampoons in men’s bathrooms but trying to get the public to think of him as a hunter and gun rights advocate.  Democrats are liars who use politics and the power that comes from it to mask their intention to abuse other people and commit crimes. 

The creation of the beta male has been very destructive for the human race.  Men are typically physically more robust, so fighting with each other tends to be more literal.  Men are quick to anger; they might have a vicious fight in a parking lot, but they get over things quickly and can often become fast friends with their enemies.  Women, though, are more psychological.  Since they don’t have physical strength, they have developed mind games, which often mystifies men.  And that has been going on for many thousands of years.  However, once progressive society encouraged women to enter the workplace, to attack the American family, American business, and the essential structure of how humans engage with each other, what has happened has brought everyone a lot of dissatisfaction, which is lingering behind this current political movement.  Women like men for what men do for them, and men like women for what they do for them.  And that was fine somewhat until progressive in the form of the modern Democrat party, coming straight from the manipulators at the World Economic Forum, started telling people that men can be women, and women, men depending on how they felt that day, and they screwed up everything.  That attitude has also shown up in the workplace.  When people have to do business with each other, there is much less directness than there used to be, making doing business much less effective.  Too few people say what they mean, making it hard to get anything done. 

This poison was purposeful, of course.  However, people in their workplaces are tired of the effects, and the change in attitude toward what the Democrat platform has deeply committed itself to results from massive dissatisfaction.  Yet the Democrats behind Kamala Harris are tone-deaf to it.  They are committed to the communist cause and can see no other way.  That plan meant that toxic men who might stand up to the communist push needed to be removed and replaced in business, politics, and life in general with more people like Doug Emhoff and fewer like Donald Trump. It hasn’t worked out the way it was intended, but the Democrats keep giving us more of them, only to have society laugh at the results.  That’s why Trump said what he said at the Al Smith Dinner; he understands what people think.  Just as when he said on Access Hollywood about women, it was the kind of locker room talk people want to engage in.  Because there is truth in it, men talk about women in superficial ways because that is how they are wired biologically to interact with them.  Women want deeper meanings and can often find they can easily manipulate men to their advantage.  Over thousands of years, we have all developed checks and balances on that power, which Trump understands all too well and has exhibited many times over.  And the dumb people thought Trump talking about grade-A female genitalia were assuming that the progressive mind control message would overcome biology, and that turned out to be a complete disaster.  People being polite entertained those woke rules until they saw what they did to the world around them.  And now they are changing their mind.  But rather than adapting to those observations, Democrats have dug in. 

Turning men into betas has been catastrophic because now nobody tells the truth about anything.  Every interaction has turned passive-aggressive because all fighting has become a kind of sissy-slapping contest.  One thing that Democrats have not looked in the mirror yet to admit to themselves is that Trump is the choice of people who want masculinity to be back in society, especially in leadership positions.  I remember seeing Trump at Tea Party events around 2010 when a small crowd of people who loved his Art of the Deal books would show up to hear him speak.  Back then, much of this progressive woke stuff wasn’t known about its impact on everyone’s lives.  Trump didn’t suddenly arrive on the scene with thousands of people waiting all day to see him.  He became that way because he offered himself up as an alternative to the nonsense of the new beta male rules given to us by vile Democrats who want to destroy the world as we know it.  And we like our world; we like women; we like men; we like tough people; and we like leaders.  We don’t want cry babies who cry their eyes out over a caterpillar squashed on the sidewalk.  We don’t like men who take off for maternity leave.  I say to other men daily, “Did you have the baby?  Your wife did.  You need to get back to work and be a man.  Be tough.”  Work when you’re not feeling well.  Lead when you’d rather take a nap because you are too tired.  Be brutal when it’s hard because people count on you to fight when they are too weak to do it themselves.  And as to these beta males, women don’t want them.   Nobody wants them.  And that was never going to be a thing.  Beta men make the world far worse.  The world doesn’t need where everyone fights like a bunch of women.  Because then, nothing will get done.

Trump is Doing a Rally at Madison Square Gardens: Kamala is so bad, nobody will ever believe she could win

The differences couldn’t have been more clear between President Trump and the ridiculously disastrous presentation of Kamala Harris than at the Al Smith Dinner in New York in October 2024.  Trump was hilarious and spoke well. He attended the live show that traditionally invites both candidates to speak during election campaigns and raise charity money.  While Trump showed that he could have a sense of humor, he demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that he isn’t afraid to go into the lair of a beast and to slay it directly.  He was very tough on Chuck Schumer when he told him that “because Democrats are so woke, that if Kamala doesn’t win, that he could still be the first woman president.”  Trump also lit up the former mayor, Bill de Blasio, without any pretense of being friendly.  He doesn’t like him and Trump made it quite clear.  It was a very emotional evening, just a few weeks before voters decided on the direction of America, which indicated a Trump win.  And with all the stakes present, Kamala Harris didn’t go, as she has shown real difficulty in doing live events.  Kamala, as the sitting Vice President, had so little faith in herself and her staff that she recorded a video and sent that to the event, which was horrendous.  Kamala couldn’t do that by herself; instead, she brought in a Saturday Night Live comedian to do most of the talking, which was embarrassing.  Seeing how little Kamala’s team thinks of us was a shame.  But then again, it confirms what we have all suspected all along.  That they believe invisible hands control our presidency and that they don’t have to do events like the Al Smith Dinner.  They can win the presidency anyway with tricks and election fraud. 

So, one of two things is going to happen.  The Kamala Harris team is either dumber than anybody thought or completely tone-deaf to reality, and they will lose in a fiery crash.  Or we have no control over our election system and are going to have to take back our country with physical force.  Trump has gone all in and is putting such an exclamation point on the entire race, pulling well ahead of Kamala in early polling, that he has booked Madison Square Gardens as a campaign rally location.   Internal polling shows that Trump has a chance in areas that typically Republicans don’t, and Kamala is so bad that he believes he has a chance.  Trump even held a rally recently in California, where over 100,000 people showed up.  Kamala has struggled with all live performances, including Bret Baier on Fox News.  The more she spoke, the worse she did, and the public could see how phony she was.  This has left the door open for Trump to dominate in public appearances with no real competition for the public’s need for leadership. The choice couldn’t have been more stark.  So Trump has done the boldest thing possible and gone to places where he was at risk of being rejected, and Madison Square Gardens in downtown Manhattan is one of those statement rallies.  For Trump to fill the arena when Kamala Harris couldn’t even come close is more than just spiking the football after a tough election.  It’s a declaration of winning this election in a “too big to rig” fashion because nobody will believe it if Kamala Harris suddenly wins the election when she couldn’t even show up in a friendly setting to do the Al Smith Dinner. 

With Trump booking Madison Square Gardens, he is filling a venue that psychologically has deep roots in the American mind as one of the largest in the world, and as they used to say about New York, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.  And this assumption that New York is off limits to any Republican is being challenged by Trump.  Should things be the way many fear and Kamala Harris did win the presidency with serious election fraud, people will never believe it.  With Trump filling Madison Square Gardens for a rally to hear him speak, when Kamala couldn’t fill a kid’s pool, is a statement to make this election all about too big to rig.  By Trump filling that massive building on the most significant stage in the world, he is essentially showing that he has done all he can do and more to present an opportunity for authentic leadership to the American people.  And they are voting by attending his rallies.  Meanwhile, the real trouble lurking in the background has been exposed, and traditionally, to cover their menace, they have relied on control over the media and public sentiment to hide their ruse.  And under tremendous pressure, they have not been able to answer because Trump has been so good.  Going into the stretch of the election season, Kamala and her people couldn’t answer the call because of the way they have been selling communism to people for decades.  And now it was all coming down around them right in the heart of Democrats’ politics at its core, New York City, first with the Al Smith Dinner, then Trump speaking at Madison Square Gardens.  That the same people who swapped out Joe Biden and put in Kamala Harris think they have that much control over the American people tells you everything you need to know.

Trump, going to New York in the last weeks of the election, says he is confident in the battleground states, especially Pennsylvania and Georgia.  Interestingly, Florida and Ohio aren’t even toss-up states anymore, and Democrats aren’t even trying to maintain the illusion.  This is a stark difference now than it was in prior elections.  If it used to be hard for Republicans to win any election, what Trump has done is flip the script entirely on Democrats, and now the uphill battle is ultimately on their shoulders.  As it looks now, Trump is set to have a blowout win over Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party in general.  They have run out of runway.  Nobody even believes that Joe Biden won his seat.  The Democrat Party has only confirmed the suspicions by the way they have treated him once he showed that he wasn’t going to be able to beat Trump and replaced him with Kamala.  Then, under tremendous pressure at the Al Smith Dinner, knowing they were struggling to sell their message in an honest election, they turned to Saturday Night Live to attempt to sell Kamala to the public.  And it wasn’t working.   So Trump booked Madison Square Gardens to make the election too big to rig.  No matter what happens with digital voting machines and drop boxes, nobody in the aftermath can steal this election.  That doesn’t mean they won’t try.  And if they did present the world with Kamala Harris the way they removed Joe Biden without any votes and tried to give America that mess, clearly Trump has been the president over the last four years, and he was being elected by the people once again.  And that’s why booking Madison Square Gardens was so important.  Suppose they try to give us Kamala Harris on election day. In that case, nobody will believe she won, and a war will be more than merited against forces of tyranny that have seeped into our system of government that can’t be dealt with any other way than by force.  Because we tried peaceful elections, and the Democrats didn’t respect it.
