A Teacher of the Year Getting 30 Years in Jail: Another cover-up case at Lakota Schools

It should be shocking, but it isn’t, as news of the San Diego Teacher of the Year Jacqueline Ma pleading guilty to sexually grooming two of her students, one 11 and the other 12 for an extended period, that Lakota schools had another incident, which was quietly wiped away from the news cycle.  Where is Karin Johnson from Channel 5?  And with that, San Diego teacher, what gave her away as a young 36-year-old prototype that was given their highest honor?  She was the kind of teacher they wanted to say to the world that she was the best, and that parents could feel safe sending their kids to her with all their trust.  Was it the nose rings?  At Lakota, about a month before Jacqueline Ma cried like a baby in front of the judge, throwing all her guilt on the table, Lakota schools had plain clothed police officers escorting out a male teacher from the East Freshman building because the mother of a young girl caught the guy watching porn with her daughter.  And previously, that same teacher had a series of complaints trying to get into the girls’ locker room, to the point that they had to move him somewhere else once people knew what he was up to.  But to keep the story out of the news and to protect the school’s image, especially with this recent lawsuit in Columbus, where Lakota, along with 300 other plaintiffs who have joined the EdChoice lawsuit, want to pretend that they are something they aren’t.  So they can keep the trust of tax-paying parents, instead of admitting what they really are, a breeding ground for Democrat politics with serious sexual deviancy issues.  The media never reports on the issue until there is a confession, which is rare.  And before action is ever taken, as in the case of the Lakota case and the San Diego case, it takes a nosy parent to ask questions and insist on an investigation, which then turns up diabolical behavior discovered too late.

It should be evident by now what is going on; these public schools only care about their reputations so they can continue to steal money from taxpayers to fund their monstrous meat factories of sexual molestation and disastrous grooming of innocent kids.  These cases are so common that, statistically speaking, if you look at those who aren’t getting caught, it’s an astonishingly high number, so much so that all students would be able to report some creepy teacher they have to interact with who has boundary problems.  The schools cannot detect it through their teacher union contracts because they don’t ask for or tell about concealment policies.  Jacqueline Ma was given everything and had an incredibly bright future if only she could keep her shirt on.  Yet she had such bad judgment that she was taking her clothes off in class to show the young boys her boobies and was sending them text messages with all kinds of incriminating content because when people, any people, get into authority positions, it is very difficult not to abuse that relationship.  Obviously, for teachers of the year like Jacqueline Ma, it was tough to keep her clothes on, and her mind out of the gutter when she had a class full of students under her power, not to abuse it.  And back to the EdChoice case in Ohio, or Trump’s position to strengthen School Choice and eliminate centralized education methods, favoring more competitive approaches, it’s because of these stories that no public schools in the country can say that they are efficiently teaching children. Instead, they are abusing them sexually and ruining them for the rest of their lives, in many cases. 

I pick on Karin Johnson because I have a history with her.  She’s always there too late and supports the public school experience with blinders on.  I know her from my WLW days, when she was friends with Scott Sloan, the radio host.  I talked a lot about public school problems on his show until Scott got in trouble with his wife, a real estate agent, and those segments on a big radio station were what she thought was damaging to the real estate value of the school districts where she was selling.  So things went south, and Karin Johnson showed herself as a former cheerleader using the news as a pro-school advocate.  Only when a story completely collapses does she do a story on these dangerous public schools.  Instead of digging up the problems, they turn their attention to the people trying to bring all this to the surface, to protect the public schools for many of the reasons that were behind WLW radio getting out of that business.  The advertisers want to think well of these schools, whether they are good or not.  And now people hear too many of these stories that they want to pull their kids out of the schools and send them somewhere private.  And they want choices in education because the public option is far from reform-worthy.  Many people who have pushed these terrible stories under the radar want the public option to work for one reason or another, psychological or financial, and it’s hard for them to face the facts.  However, parents are sick of having to do all the work, and if it were not for them, the school would never admit to these transgressions.  And everything would continue to be swept under the rug.

It’s a problem in every workplace: the abuse of power by those who have authority over others, whether students or employees.  You cannot have a system of efficient teaching when a school system in San Diego gives a teacher like Jacqueline Ma a Teacher of the Year award, because they are measuring all the wrong values.  I would have told them that the nose ring should have been a disqualifying attribute.  You can’t be Teacher of the Year with a nose ring.  And if you take your clothes off in front of your students and send them pictures of you in sexual conditions, you can’t work as an authority figure in the school.  Or like in Lakota, where these cases are pretty much daily, if you watch porn with your students, grooming them, you are fired.  And if this young girl’s mom didn’t stick her nose into the situation, that teacher would still be employed, even though the other teachers know all about the problems.  They don’t say anything because they care more about the school’s reputation.  Not in actually being good and performing well.  The public school experience is inefficient, expensive, and corrosive because it has bad teachers instructing students in vulnerable positions, doing all the wrong things.  And it’s out of control because the checks on that power are more interested in keeping the stories from the public to hide it, because of some financial or emotional interest, that they have made the problem far worse.  It’s so bad that whistleblowers, like that girl’s mom at Lakota, are viewed as troublemakers, instead of the teachers caught doing the dirty deeds.  The assumption from the public school supporters is that we should all keep in mind the greater good of public education, even if that good is only in bad teachers continuing to get a paycheck stolen from property owners for a service that is horrible in general to an entire generation of kids.  And when it comes down to it, nobody but a few parents who care are looking out for the kids.  Not the news, not our politicians, not our business world, nobody.  Not even our churches.  Nobody cares because the evil under the rug is so vast and horrible that people would rather not find out about it until some tenacious parent catches someone guilty, and they cry like a baby, hoping to get a plea deal to cut 30 years of jail down to a lesser sentence.  By that time, their lives are already ruined.

Public Schools Are Going To Lose on EdChoice: Free legal advice on how to beat this case in court

In early May of 2025, oral arguments for the joint lawsuit by over 300 affiliates attached to public education funding made their pitch for why school vouchers harmed them and needed to be made unconstitutional.  Lakota schools in my district have recently joined this lawsuit with some horrendous legal advice from their counsel, but here’s the deal, and it’s quite clear after listening to the plaintive side of the case.  I had friends who went to provide testimony for the defense, for the position of the state to continue with the expansion of the school voucher program, in this case specifically, EdChoice.  I don’t think there was any question going into it how it was going to evolve.  But the position of the presenters, the public school argument, was incredibly weak.  Pathetically weak, and I guess you would expect them to be better prepared.  Here’s the deal: Public schools have left people wanting something better because they have performed terribly over a long period.  And parents want choices for their kids.  We’re not talking about not having education here.  We are talking about better education made that way through competition.  These pathetic public schools run by these ridiculously lazy teacher unions have destroyed the public education prospect as it was initially conceived.  Because most parents need the free babysitting service, they hold their noses and just put up with it.  But increasingly, parents don’t want to send their kids to public schools, and they want access to private schools, so they look for options like EdChoice to do so.  For many parents who currently send their kids to private schools, the system is really unfair to them.  They already pay property taxes to a local school attached to their zip code, and the full tuition for the private alternative.  Now, more people want the same option; they only wish that the tax money they pour into the system would be used to help give them an option instead of wasting it on a poorly managed local school they have no choice in.  Other than picking up and moving somewhere else.  It’s an evil system that is in deep need of reform. 

This is a common occurrence in public education institutions, and is why in Ohio, they can’t meet the ‘efficiency’ standard. This is a recent case out of state, but shows the system itself is broken and Ohio has plenty of their own cases.

I’m happy to do it. I usually do it twenty times a week for somebody somewhere, and I’ll give everyone some free legal work in this case.  This is an easy case without much drama because of the wording in the Ohio Constitution, which I think is a remarkable document.  I love the Ohio Constitution.  For fun, I read it at least once a week.  But for the plaintiffs in this EdChoice case, they are way off the rails on their argument.  And for the defense, here is how you win this case with an end zone dance.  The Ohio Constitution from 1851 says, “the General Assembly shall make such provisions, by taxation, or otherwise, as with the income arising from the school trust fund, will secure a thorough and efficient system of common schools throughout the state; but no religious or other sect, or sects, shall ever have any exclusive right to, or control of, any part of the school funds of this state.”  The problem with the teacher union-run public schools with an operating management system straight off the pages of the Democrat Party is that they have let their costs get away from them, and that nobody manages the efficiency of the product they produce, no matter how you manage “efficiency.”  We could measure efficiency by the output, student quality, and ability to navigate adult lives.  Or get jobs that they are well prepared for.  Or we can measure efficiency by the cost per pupil, how much money it takes to produce a good student, “efficiently.”  In all the cases, the public school presentation of their point of view falls short because of the wording, “efficiency.”  They want and expect an exclusive monopoly of state funds, which has caused them to be wildly inefficient.  And it is in this failure that there is a court case at all.  Public schools, six at this Columbus hearing, but a lot more in the background, are trying to stave off what they caused for themselves. 

People want choice from the public school system because it has proven itself to be incredibly inefficient in allocating funds to the proper education of Ohio students.  So the burden of proof in this case is on the plaintiffs to show how they have presented an efficient product worthy of state money, rather than their assumption that they are promised state money just for existing.  They have not met the minimum Constitutional threshold for their base argument.  That’s why the Supreme Court has found the Ohio school funding model unconstitutional up to this point and why it has lingered in indecision.  That word “efficiency” is a real problem for how public education evolved, and the writers were wise to put it there.  You could also say the same about the word “thorough.”  How can public schools say they provide a “thorough” education when the evidence shows that they do only what they have to do to get state money and use it to pay overpriced labor markets ridiculous amounts of money for perpetually poor performance?  The plaintiffs really sounded foolish in this constitutional regard at the Columbus oral arguments.  Even I was embarrassed for them.

I know it, the public school types claim that they are held to different standards than the private schools are not held to, and there is money in that compliance.  But that is again part of the problem of inefficiency, even if government standards have made the public school experience less efficient.  It contributes through their argument of the facts that the public school experience is unreasonably inefficient because of the standards the state has put on them to make the use of the money they get less effective.  Which only makes it worse for them.  This kind of back and forth is why more and more parents want an off-ramp to the public school experience.  Parents wish to choose whether it’s in a private school or to homeschool their kids so they don’t have to send their kids to a factory of Democrat politics, which is what modern education has evolved into.  Public schools are not teaching kids to grow up and become Republicans, which would make sense if it were fair both ways.  But they are actively trying to teach kids to grow up and become Democrats.  And what parent wants to pay for that if they don’t want to lose their kids to radical politics?  Which happens a lot in the public school experience.  And when you go to school board meetings to complain, and the school board cuts off the mic to shut everyone up, what do they expect to happen?  People will want to pull their kids out of those schools and will not want to waste their money on an inefficient school just because it happens to be in their zip code.  The public schools have shown that they waste the money and continue asking for more.  Because they are a bad product made that way through a monopoly status.  And the best thing for them, to make them Constitutionally viable, is to force them to be more efficient in a competitive marketplace, which is why EdChoice and many other voucher programs will increase in number in the years to come.  The teachers’ unions will not win this case, because they can’t show that they contribute an efficient and thorough product.  And with that, the case is over.

The Attack on Ohio’s Energy Grid: The Lawfare that put Householder in jail was an assult, not justice

To remind everyone, Larry Householder, the former Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, is serving a jail term of 20 years.  And knowing now what I said then, the case was purely about politics and nothing about justice.  The same courts that have been trying to put Trump in jail are what’s at work here.  When you are in the Speaker position and you have to raise money for your party, what are you supposed to do when a company that supplies power to the energy grid in the form of two nuclear power plants in northern Ohio are being pushed out of business by that same government, the case from top to bottom was as dirty as it gets.  And it wasn’t Householder who was the dirty dealer.  The entire FirstEnergy case is about Democrats who were jealous of the power Republicans have in Columbus, and they used lawfare to attempt to break up that control and wrestle power back in their favor.  And they targeted Householder because he was trying to save an energy company that was targeted by the Obama administration for destruction as a progressive war against energy, which we saw during the Biden administration was purposeful and malicious.  Democrats and progressives wanted to reduce the power grid away from its known levels and shove everyone into solar and wind without having any real means to supply the demand that consumers needed.  Instead, the plan was to reduce the supply and force people to cut back on their needs.  The federal government targeted FirstEnergy to go out of business so that the Ohio power grid could not sustain the needs of consumers, and that was always the real story.  I wouldn’t call what Householder was doing to try to save the company bribery, a kind of pay-to-play scheme, politics.  The real problem was the attack on Ohio’s energy grid, which was the real menace in the story.

That’s not to say that Larry Householder and others in the Republican Party were squeaky clean.  There is a way to handle a situation like that correctly, and they did not handle the pressure or the temptations well.  Calling Householder a mob boss as if he were Al Capone or some other mobster is disingenuous, and only reflects that Democrats don’t have similar personality types in their party that can take control in Columbus.  However, when it comes to Republicans, taking Householder off the map only allowed other characters to fill the void, and that’s not a bad thing.  When we elect these people, we expect to get things done, and we expect the party we elect into power to keep that power, and sometimes the game can get messy.  But we want our people to win the game by whatever means necessary.  Where the line gets crossed is when you start accepting gifts and vacations, even if well-intentioned.  For people like Householder, the power can go to their heads, and they can get lost in the process.  But the forced lapse in judgment wasn’t caused by some power-hungry maniac as much as it came from a desperate power company under attack by the government itself, seeking help from the Republican Party to stay viable.  It wasn’t mismanagement that was causing FirstEnergy to go out of business and need a bailout, it was the purposeful government rules and regulations that were intent to destroy them so that all people would be forced to turn away from their power needs and manage a shortfall, just like what California has seen with its brownouts and the push to force them to run their air conditioners less in the summer, and make concessions to their power consumption.  The attack on the American energy grid is the real story and is what is hiding behind the optics of throwing the Speaker in Ohio in jail over pure politics.

This is a war by radical communists disguising themselves as “progressives” attempting to torpedo the American economy with regulatory policy meant to destroy our energy infrastructure, and it’s no different than if planes from China had attacked our homes with a bombing campaign.  If you trace the money in the way that the federal case against Householder was conducted, you would see George Soros’s money funneling into the Ohio Democrat Party by all kinds of back-door means, and many hostile agents against America like him.  Many of the Democrats who were crying foul in the Householder case, hoping to gain political power in the vacuum of leadership during the trial, are doing the business of countries hostile to America and seeking its destruction.  When you are against the American power grid and trying to make the intent to destroy it with a feel-good environmental concern, you are doing far worse than what the Speaker was accused of.  But the complicit media played along, hung a politician they didn’t like who was a leader in a party they wanted out of power, and they used the levers of corruption of our court system to perform the task of putting someone in jail to hide their complicity in destroying the power grid of Ohio.  I hear it every time I go to Columbus, where attorneys and lawyers brag about their role in implementing solar farms, such as the one outside Chillicothe, Ohio.  And strong-arming companies into EPA compliance that could come straight out of the Karl Marx playbook. No, the real bad guys didn’t go to jail.  They jailed the people standing in their way. 

While all this was going on with Householder, the same federal court system was trying to put Trump in jail. It was destroying Rudy Giuliani’s law practice for defending Trump.  And the now-famous mug shot of Trump was broadcast around the world as the real threats to America were showing their control over our court system.  So, Householder going to jail is nothing short of an exhibition of that abuse of power.  It is tough to stay completely clean in anything when so much money is involved, and you have to give Trump credit for running about as clean a ship as anybody in his position could, because nothing stuck to him.  But if he had not won the presidency again in 2024, he would have had similar charges thrown at him as Householder saw.  And Trump would have been sentenced to not just 20 years, but over 100.   And Big Tish James would be free of any scandals of her own, which she is now wonderfully drowning in.  It’s not enough to say that they are all dirty and that corruption should be cleaned up.  The real game is that the federal government thinks it can pick winners and losers, and it picked FirstEnergy to be a loser because they were trying to supply power to a state in need.  And the government run by Obama, then by Biden, wanted to destroy that power supply to force people closer to a zero-emission world with untested clean energy they knew wasn’t ready to replace the state’s energy needs.  And they used political power through the courts they control to remove their political opponents from the battlefield, and to put them in jail to warn others away from standing in front of them.  That’s the truth about Larry Householder’s case.  And not enough people defended him when they should have, because the next victim could be anybody.

Buying the Truth: Peer reviewers have made over a billion dollars from the top four medical outlets

I read a fascinating book this week that I thought was very revealing about the field of anthropology by a professor of that field called Weaponizing Anthropology, which is about how the CIA has infiltrated that science and the colleges that teach it to shape narratives to build a social narrative.  The book by David Price, I think, explains a lot about just how wrong it is that we establish what we think of as a fact.  And it reminded me of the problems revealed during Covid from the Lancet in England, a very respected medical publication, where Bill Gates and Dr. Fauci found ways to manipulate the important news of hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin to prevent and treat Covid-19.  And to take away that hope from millions of people suffering from the artificial virus, let loose from a lab in China to spread around the world, from gain-of-function research.  Regarding the field of anthropology and the related sciences, I have complained a lot about some of the ridiculous assumptions made about the mound building culture in the Ohio Valley for instance that steers concern more toward a hunter and gatherer mindset of gradual evolution when in fact we are looking at a Vico Cycle of continued decline and rebirth from cultures extending deep into the past, well beyond the Archaic Period.  And recently, we learned that peer reviewers for four of the top medical journals have received payments from drug and medical device manufacturers totaling around 1 billion dollars from 2020 to 2022.  This has opened the door to what big business it is to be in the peer review business.  People tend to trust information that is associated with an expert opinion.  But the deceit is that when that expert is paid to have an argument that the people writing the checks want them to have, the information is meaningless.  And in the context of the value of helpful information, we are finding that what we assume to be a reality is, in truth, only shaped by those paying for the definition of that reality, which endorses a need they have for mass public opinion to shade in their direction. 

This morning, I had 337,000 unread emails, and about a quarter of those are from people who offer peer review services and want me to pay them for their expert opinion to lend to the credibility of my material.  Or, they want me to review their material and are willing to pay for it.  It is an enormous business, and many people make a lot of money offering nothing more than an opinion, and the fee for being an expert in a field is very valuable.  But I don’t get into that money game for many reasons.  For a long time, I have not trusted peer-reviewed opinions for many reasons.  This recent information from the Weaponizing Anthropology book and this report on the peer review contributions to the top four medical journals has only solidified my opinion.  Which is sad because I would like to see the system work.  I read a lot of information, and I have my trusted sources.  I think the information is more credible when I see their name next to an article or a book.  But that’s how this whole racket got started in the first place.  Trust was for sale, and there were a lot of evil characters in the world willing to exploit it for all kinds of nefarious reasons.  That was indeed happening in the medical field.  And it was happening in large doses in anthropology and archaeology.  Those who pay for an opinion get to shape what that opinion is. 

I think we were a lot better off in the sciences when adventurers through discovery would publish wild finds in a search for fortune and glory.  The idea of profiting off finding a new treasure in the world and becoming rich in the process was more honest than what we have now, where experts are paid to shape an opinion and steer people as sponsored spokespeople toward some treatment that might not be good for them.  A good example is in the diagnosis of diabetes, for instance, where pancreatic health can be self-generated.  However, the medical approach shaped by paid experts wants to steer patients toward pharmaceutical treatments because that’s where the profit is.  The goal is not in saving lives with real and permanent treatment, it’s in keeping people sick so that pharma companies can profit off the demise of those patients.  The ability to purchase a peer-reviewed opinion then shapes reality, not toward the truth but toward the desire of profit seekers at the expense of honesty.  How often have I heard that the Clovis people migrated into North America across the frozen land bridge from Russia to Alaska 20,000 years ago?  When none of the expert opinions can begin to explain why there were such large skeletons found in Indian mounds all over North America from a people with very precise understandings of mathematics, and were certainly not hunters and gatherers, but sophisticated city dwellers, such as at the Cahokia site just outside of St. Louis that had cities larger than what was found in Europe at the time.  Most of that information has been suppressed by the peer review process, and only old-fashioned passion projects from seekers of fortune and glory have been able to shake that information loose from the world.

It has been a house of cards that was always going to fail, and that one billion dollars reported just for those four publications is just the tip of the iceberg.  This same practice is occurring in all our professional fields that produce experts.  Being an expert pays a lot of money once you establish yourself.  And as I said, I get a lot of offers, which I turn down because I don’t like the process, and would never take money for it.  Because I see it all as a huge problem.  These latest reports only confirm what I always suspected.  When you can pay cash to create a truth, can you say that a truth is real?  When opinion is for sale, I don’t see that it has any value.  An expert might work hard to build up credibility to put their name next to something, but the minute people discover that the opinion was purchased, all merit for the contents flies out the window.  That is what the CIA has been doing in the field of anthropology to shape social discourse by controlling the narrative with people on their staff, or with money paid to experts through black budgets not regulated by members of an elected body of government in Congress.  And since many people got caught over the Lancet issue regarding COVID, I don’t think the expert class will ever gain credibility back.  It will take more than time to get people to trust in the system again.  And the peer review process is now broken forever.  And that might lead to wild theories and speculations from a hungry public.  But honestly, that information is more valid than the opinions of people paid to shape a truth that might have no basis in reality.  But it might serve the plots of more scandalous people who do not have our best interests in mind.

The Jesse Watters DOGE Interview: A change that will last

It was an excellent interview with Jesse Watters, DOGE, and Elon Musk.  I think we are seeing something here that will stick around, and I couldn’t be happier, reflecting over the years to the early part of the Tea Party movement, when fiscal responsibility was our main concern.  It seemed inconceivable at the time that something like a DOGE would ever happen.  But here we are in 2025 having serious discussions about the massive government waste that taxpayers are funding, and it’s not just a campaign issue that comes up every four years.  As Elon Musk has set it up, DOGE has emerged as something that can stick around long after he’s gone, which is what good CEOs do for their companies: you set the table and make it so that you build a culture that can run on its own.  And I’m sure Elon Musk will stick around and be a figurehead of DOGE for a long time.  But what he has created and what the members are doing will last and become a part of government oversight that will last even as the political tides might change.  The Jesse Watters interview captured well what DOGE really is, which I’m sure they had no idea it would be.  One thing that was certainly obvious was that the people doing DOGE are brilliant and well-intentioned, and what Elon Musk has done as the head of the effort is set a standard that can now cascade into a culture of scrutiny that should have been present from the beginning.  Whenever you have money involved, there will be people looking to exploit the system so they can steal some of it.  And when you have a government this big and powerful, that can confiscate so much wealth from people, abuse was a certainty.  But to what extent can people only imagine, until now?

I don’t think Elon Musk needs to be there every day to run DOGE.  It’s nice that he is still doing it even as the government’s activism against him has sought to ruin his car company, Tesla.  Elon Musk might be the wealthiest person in the world, but this commitment to DOGE has cost him dearly.  And I think from here on out, all that needs to be done is to empower people like the current DOGE members into doing the work and to let it take on a life of its own.  What they ended up with differs from what they set out to do in saving trillions of dollars off the top of the budget.  Most of the savings they have extracted aren’t the obvious things like entitlement payments and program-driven budgets, but the day-to-day abuses that get hidden behind all the chaos.  Most of the savings coming from DOGE are in saved opportunity cost, which is usually very hard to measure.  Elon Musk’s way of thinking when running his other companies was just what was needed.  The government has required this oversight since it started collecting taxes, and what Elon Musk has done in this very short time deserves great recognition and gratitude because he could have done what most everyone does, and just ignored the problem.  When you are as wealthy as he is, he could have easily turned his back on the issue and moved offshore to live a fun life.  But to sink his teeth into this project took guts, and because of it, we’ll be talking about DOGE, I think, permanently. 

People can’t be trusted to do the right things on their own, and one thing that came out of the DOGE interview on Fox News was how many people have been abusing the system dramatically.  I saw much of this firsthand when my wife and I traveled to Washington, D.C. for an extended period and lived in Fairfax County to see how most of those communities entirely existed off the waste scraped off the top of government.  Many of the programs that have so much waste in them were created with the best of intentions, but when you involve people who are always looking for the easiest way to do things, a scandal is bound to happen, and many people are professional con artists, even to themselves.  They can look in the mirror and even lie to what looks back and feel okay with it.  Those are the kind of people drawn to government work, and the many spoils come from a largely unregulated system.  The stories of abuse that DOGE is telling are just the tip of the iceberg.  And, astonishingly, we are talking about it now.  I thought from the Tea Party perspective that we’d have to have another Revolutionary War-type engagement to get control of government spending and waste.  I never thought that President Trump, one of the wealthiest men in the world, would be in the White House, which meant he was personally free of the typical social constraints that even keep the questions from being asked.  Or that the wealthiest and most innovative CEO in the world would personally create a department to oversee waste management and root out the perpetrators like a gunslinging sheriff in a wild and hostile old west town full of criminals. 

I think Elon Musk has done enough, and if he did nothing else with DOGE, he has given us something that will last well into the future.  I do not think that Democrats will be back in the White House anytime soon, if ever.  I do not see them retaking power in the House and Senate and gaining the ability to stop DOGE politically.  No, I think DOGE is here to stay and will run fine because it has good people in it, and it started because of Elon Musk.  But it has emerged into its own thing, and now there is a level of expectation for it to continue.  The public will never not want a DOGE to look out for waste on their behalf.  Going back to the system where looters were free to steal all they could from the government system will never be what it was.  In a lot of ways, creating DOGE is what people looked through all the smoke to elect Trump in the first place was all about.  This is precisely why we wanted Trump.  Elon Musk wouldn’t be able to participate in our government if not for how Trump runs things.  This kind of CEO management style has taken this government waste problem and brought it out of the box for us to fix, instead of the continued policies of hiding the issue from the world and hoping that nobody notices.  DOGE has been so successful that the expectation will be that it will always be a part of government and that its role will expand with time to unleash enterprising people to protect government systems from the parasitic nature of most human beings.  Only the threat of getting caught will keep people in line.  And without DOGE, there was nothing to give criminals pause.  But now there is, and we are far better off for it.

‘Revenge of the Sith’ Made 25 Million Dollars: Its all about the artist, not the product

My son-in-law said it best when we were on a family vacation in Florida and attending the Disney Parks, as we were at the Star Wars Land they have at Hollywood Studios, that Disney didn’t buy an entertainment franchise, they purchased a religion.  And they never understood it.  And you can see that with the new films compared to the ones that George Lucas directed himself, who created the franchise and sold it in 2012, with good intentions.  But honestly, and I hate to say it, Star Wars would have been better off if Lucas had never sold it to Disney.  I get why he did; he had many employees, wanted them to have something to do, and wanted to retire.  But Disney screwed up a lot with their woke politics and they significantly reduced the brand of Star Wars with their ownership.  And it has been a disaster.  Some good things happened, like their theme park presence.  But Bob Iger never understood what Star Wars was, the writers of the new movies had no idea what they were doing, and the films themselves were filled with woke ideas that modern audiences have soundly rejected.  And I have to say all that because we just recently had the now-famous holiday of May 4th, and I noticed a few things that were certainly interesting.  Primarily, the old movie Revenge of the Sith was re-released in theaters for a limited run to celebrate its 29th anniversary, and it made a really good 25 million dollars over the last weekend of April 2025.  It’s a movie that is free on television just about anytime that anybody wants to watch it, yet people were so hungry for Star Wars that they returned to the theater to see the movie one more time in actual movie theaters that says a whole lot about where people are and how valuable Star Wars is to our modern culture.

I wanted Disney’s ownership to succeed and Star Wars to be available to a new generation.  But Disney certainly screwed that up, what they have contributed to Star Wars was woke garbage that was astonishingly bad compared to what George Lucas directed.  And other people obviously feel the same way.  They aren’t rushing out to see the new Star Wars stuff that Disney produces. They rushed out to see the old movie and were quite celebratory over it.  I understand that there is real value in the old Star Wars movies. It is truly fascinating to see how corporate institutionalism, with all the money to work with, could not come close to duplicating that original magic.  But people didn’t let that stop them from celebrating the new Holiday, Star Wars Day, on May 4th, as in “May the 4th be with you.”  It was everywhere on May 4th 2025, from all kinds of surprising parts of society, especially at baseball games that now openly support the Star Wars Holiday, and people seem to really like it.  Even sports jocks like to brag about their Star Wars knowledge and are not afraid to geek out on May 4th dressing up as their favorite character.  And regarding Revenge of the Sith, it is stunning to hear how people today love that movie so much.  I remember when it came out and how people talked about it then, as well as the prequels of George Lucas in general, and I never would have thought that that movie would hold such a dear place in people’s hearts. 

But that is a testament to just how bad things are these days.  I knew it was bad when Disney got rid of the canon that George Lucas had built, leading up to the Disney merger by rewriting the history in novels, comic books, and then in the movies.  That was the biggest mistake that Disney could have made.  I said it at the time because my wife and I had personally read hundreds of Star Wars books, all of them ever produced at that time.  We tried to read some new ones under Disney ownership and couldn’t do it.  Disney was too woke to tell the story of Star Wars, a struggle for freedom from tyranny in deep space, a long time ago, and very far away.   Disney was incapable of getting it, and the story group at Lucasfilm was way too San Francisco progressive and anti-Trump to continue what George Lucas started.  That was obvious this year when Trump was back in the White House and stated how he wanted to make Hollywood great again.  Well, it starts by understanding what made it great to begin with, and clearly, people like what George Lucas did with Star Wars much more than what Disney was able to do with it.  And a sad wedge has now been introduced to the fanbase.  But this year, as opposed to the past, people are openly embracing the old Star Wars much more than just holding their nose to support the new stuff. And those very successful box office numbers for Revenge of the Sith are exciting.  People are hungry for good traditional values in the Star Wars movies.  But Disney never could get their arms around it. 

It hasn’t all been bad; a few Star Wars shows like Andor have been good.  Ahsoka is a pretty good show.  There have been a few movies there and there, like Solo and Rogue One, that were good.  But most of it has been garbage, including the most recent sequel movies.  You wonder how a bunch of people could sit in a room and, by committee, produce such garbage.  But George Lucas used to write stories in a notebook and with a pencil, a very anti-technology thing to do for one of the most technology-driven enterprises ever attempted.  It has been a lesson in arrogance, where institutionalism thinks it is superior to individual achievement.  However, with all that Disney had as resources, they could not do better than George Lucas did, all by himself.  Of course, thousands of employees made Star Wars great, but the vision started and ended with one guy.  And that’s what people wanted to see: the interpretation of an artist and their work.  Not some corporate collection of nonsense.  It’s like seeing a Picasso painting and thinking about the guy who made the art, as opposed to the same image produced by a museum committee trying to duplicate the genius of a Picasso painting.  People have voted; they love the old George Lucas stuff, but they don’t like the new stuff.  You don’t see people going crazy over the newly made Disney material.  But people will go to the movies dressed up to watch a free film that has been out for 20 years, because George Lucas, the artist, made it.  And they will spend time and money on that while rejecting the much more expensive new stuff.  And there is a lesson for the entire industry on May 4th, Star Wars Day.  Corporate collectivism does not beat individual merit, in any case.  Time in mass culture has proven that, overwhelmingly.  The artist is what people invest in, not the product or art itself.  And there can’t be any good Star Wars without the artist who created it, being the center of the conversation.  It was an experiment in entertainment that has shown a true trend that everyone should learn some hard lessons from.

Republicans Can Win A Super Majority: Democrats only won anything with election fraud

I keep hearing that Democrats are holding their noses trying to get to the midterms, where traditionally, voters pick the other party once the party in power has had a chance to do their damage.  Democrats think that automatically, they’re going to win back at least the House, that they will be able to stop the Trump agenda, and that everything will snap back to normal.  But I don’t think so.  Democrats, more than ever, have a terrible platform that Americans are rejecting.  And of course, you know what I always say, that Democrats can’t win anything if they don’t cheat.  In the last election, many of the close calls we saw in the House and Senate races came in areas where election fraud occurred.  So if Republicans had watched the election results better, there would be more Republicans in the House than there are, and the majority could be much larger.  I think Republicans, if they prevent Democrats from committing election fraud, can gain a super majority and take their current results to even better standings.  And I think that is because of the current temperament of the country.  I do not see Democrats picking up any seats, even in local elections.  Based on their performance, they have destroyed their brand and are struggling to find any message that resonates with voters, and they don’t have it.  This is a different time than anything we had seen, so historical precedent is entirely out the window.  I do not see a scenario where Republicans lose anything so long as they keep the elections honest, because it is that bad for Democrats.  And even among themselves, they have a lot of people who have crossed over and joined Republicans because the Democrat brand is so bad. 

Oh, you might say we can’t prove election fraud, that there is no evidence.  Here’s the thing: just because people refuse to look at the evidence doesn’t mean that it’s not there.  Our court system let us down with election fraud cases because lawfare is dangerous to our society.  In most of the places where Republicans lost seats to Democrats, they were in areas where voter ID laws allowed undocumented immigrants to vote.  In places where voter ID made it hard to cheat, Republicans generally won.  What does that tell you?  Are the places where there are measures against election fraud Republican areas?  That controlling election fraud is a Republican concern?  Or that by default, anywhere that Democrats can cheat, they have the opportunity where there are loose laws allowing them to do so.  Whichever it is, that is not good math for Democrats.  They don’t hold an equal presence at the ballot box, which is now more apparent than ever.  So there isn’t any hint that Democrats will pick up anything in the upcoming midterms.  The horse race the media likes to go through during each election cycle isn’t there.  The Democrats don’t have anybody who can win a national election because their platform has been rejected as a failure.  That’s why Trump has won three elections in a row, and what started a decade ago was the hint of things to come, that people were done with the kind of politics that gave us the socialist disaster of Barack Obama.  Building a platform off guilt just wasn’t a smart move, and now that people have seen an option, they will never go back.  And Democrats just aren’t prepared for it.

Did you see the sit-in that Democrats did on the steps of the Capitol?   My wife and I were just in Washington, D.C., and saw some of the typical protestor types there and down on the Mall, and they came out flat.  Nothing is resonating with Democrats, none of their usual talking points.  And I think it is mainly because President Trump is a kind of traditional Democrat who pulled away so many other Democrats from the party, like RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Elon Musk.  As a Republican, I’m not exactly happy about any of that.  I don’t like Democrats; I see them generally as broken people with broken ideas.  However, regarding party politics, I understand the need for a big tent party with many people who think different things.  That’s how you win elections, when many people want to head in the same direction.  So, an America First policy has allowed Democrats to join Republicans and for the GOP to expand its tent to accommodate all newcomers.  But you don’t see the same thing ever happening with Republicans joining Democrats.  We have been purging the RINOs from the party for several years now.  You don’t hear about the Mitch McConnell types or the Mitt Romneys.  Many party bosses who held the order of political theater together are gone, leaving Trump to control most political perceptions.  And as we visited Washington, D.C. this time with Trump in office, it was apparent everywhere.  The entire place felt different, even out by the airport.  No, this was a different kind of Republican Party than what we have had in the past, and suddenly nothing is appealing about any Democrat, leaving those most hopeful to leave the party in favor of the public sentiment. 

So, election fraud is the key.  We still haven’t properly prosecuted the election fraud that we know about.  The system hopes everyone will go back to sleep, but I don’t see that happening.  If Republicans make it hard for Democrats to cheat, especially on the voter ID issue, I’m saying that Democrats can’t win those elections, and Republicans will pick up many seats, even to the point of a super majority.  And a super majority is determined here by control of at least 60% of a body.  Looking at the math, Republicans could have come close in the last 2024 election to getting such a majority, but they went to sleep.  Everyone was watching Trump, and the momentum shifted so dramatically in his direction that even the fraudsters didn’t have the heart to fight anymore.  But a lot of those regional races where Democrats just barely beat the Republicans to keep it close in the House and Senate, most of those races were won by Democrats through fraud.  And if the mechanism were in place to prevent that fraud, the Republicans would have won.  This is why Democrats are so adamant about the illegal aliens.  They need them for voters, and they can’t afford for over 10 million illegals to be deported, because that is most of their voting base.  And even with them, people from other countries are voting for the America First position.  They aren’t voting for Democrats.  So don’t assume that Democrats will win back the House, or anything in the upcoming midterms.  I think Republicans can completely control their destiny if they take away the potential of election fraud.  And that if they do, Democrats may never win another election on any level, because their brand is so bad.  But now is not the time to play nice.  Reform elections so that voter ID is a requirement everywhere, and Democrats will not be able to win.  Republicans can win a super majority if only they support elections that prevent fraud with voter ID.

The Wall Street Casino: Never build an economy off slot machines

I’ve heard a lot of dumb talk about the state of the economy at the end of Trump’s first 100 days in office, but people who have been profiting off the chaos for a long time expect it to continue.  Specifically, the condition of the stock market and GDP growth are at a very slow 1.7%.  I would say to everyone, don’t be a sucker, all the economic reporting over the last several years has been phony bologna built on a house of wet cards.  We’ve been in depression territory most of the Biden years, and it was never reported that way because of the Fed’s Modern Monetary Theory of printing fake money to prop up our entire monetary system artificially.  And because they don’t like Trump, they are turning off the faucet to make him look bad.  But real value, where things matter, is improving dramatically, especially on the energy front.  There is a lot of opportunity for massive economic growth, but the control over the usual measures has been ripped away from the bad guys, who aren’t happy about it.  So don’t be a sucker and listen to their cries for help.  And certainly don’t think the stock market is a good measure of economic growth.  At best, the stock market is a gambling casino.  It is designed so the house always wins; sometimes, they let out enough money to encourage people to play.  But you can’t build a policy based on it.  Just as nobody in their right mind would call spending money and reporting winnings from a casino or horse racing as real value, other than in just getting lucky.  You cannot build a national monetary policy around the casino game of stock market investments.  And if anybody thought that the stock market provided guarantees on investments, then they are the victims of a sucker’s game meant to take advantage of the gullible. 

I have been saying this for a long time, and have cautioned Trump people to attach their name to any stock market increases.  The stock market has exploded since Trump was in office the first time, but that isn’t because of Trump’s economic policies, it as a move by the Fed to wash printed money into Wall Street so that firms like BlackRock could gain purchasing power to leverage debt and produce buyouts of companies so that radical leftist boards full of woke politics could take over and manage American companies and they were controlled by the direct CEO letters that Larry Fink would send out to the market, and people would listen because people’s 401K plans were used to hide the ruse.  People would not question this insurrection of America’s monetary policy if they thought they were making a lot of money on the stock market.  But in truth, it was an artificial bubble created by deceit to gain control of American industry and to implement DEI policies to control their management systems.  I have had a front row seat to all this, and I can say that what I’m saying is that I’m putting it nicely.  Maybe too nicely.  But I am sympathetic to all the suckers out there who have fallen for this trick.  If everyone had just thought of the stock market for what it is, a casino, there would be a lot fewer broken hearts now.  I’m not against casinos or the stock market.  But know the game we are playing.  The system is not designed to make people wealthy,  Only to convince them to play the game so they can wash all that phony money injected into the market with real value from the suckers who play the slot machines in the casino, where the house always wins.  And in this case, the home is the Fed. 

Trump would do better to separate himself from the Stock Exchange and stick to tangible assets, such as drilling for oil and an energy policy that can be exported and has real value.  But the liberal media reporting has cooked the books for a long time and isn’t suddenly going to print the truth.  They didn’t suddenly become honest with Trump’s first 100 days in his second term, after Biden was pushed out of office with a massive election victory.  The financial media need suckers from their gambling tables, and BlackRock and the other money managers need real value to wash the money of the fake stuff the Fed has been printing.  They don’t want the GDP to grow without their fingers on that growth so that they can manipulate the results.  And they certainly don’t want their scam to end.  I would recommend that Trump’s White House separate itself as much as possible from Wall Street because a massive correction is coming, and many people will be very upset.  But a lot of real wealth will also be created.  But not from the casino of Wall Street.  Real value in housing, energy, defense, technology, and health will emerge under the capitalism of the Trump administration, and a hateful media culture will not like it.  And they will try to steer people away from Trump’s policies because they know they will lose control of the process during this next Trump term.  The stock market was always a house of cards that would fall at the slightest gust of wind. 

Andrew Jackson warned of this condition when he was president in the early part of the 19th Century and had his famous war with the banks.  We are in a battle for who controls our finances.  Financial people have been happy to let Tea Party types who have grown into MAGA supporters talk about free speech and fiscal responsibility, so long as they continued to seek value for their money from their casinos.  But there isn’t a single money manager out there who is selling investments that do not attempt to take advantage of the short gains of the casino slot machines that come in the form of quarterly reports in industries propped up with phony Fed money, while in reality, socialist policies have capped off our markets in detrimental, and truly destructive ways.  The flashy lights keep everyone from seeing the drunks playing the game with free alcohol provided by the house to numb our senses, and convince us to be easy suckers with prostitutes on our arms posing to be future wives so long as they continued to hit it big.  And to do that, you had to keep playing the game.  No, that game is for idiots; if you have been one of them, that’s on you.  We are taking control of our monetary system, and the casinos aren’t going to be happy about it, and don’t expect them to be.  But don’t expect the United States to build its economy on a gambling platform only.  You can’t make a society off a policy meant to protect stock market gains that were purely fictitious.  And the Fed has dumped so much phony money into the system, they fear people finding out about it.  So, for Trump’s part, let them learn the hard way and don’t attach any part of the administration to the stock market.  It was always a bad measure that bad people controlled for manipulations that have been bad for America.  And it’s time to stop playing that corrupt game rooted in dishonesty and villainy.

The Collapsing Birth Rates in America: There just aren’t enough good men for women who want kids

Let’s face it: one of the biggest crisis issues today is that there are just not enough good men out there. Our society is not producing them, and much of that is purposeful. But we have to talk about it, and the prospect of collapsing birthrates. If you think we have financial problems now, with Social Security and the legacy costs of government employment, then just add to that the prospect of a generation in 20 years where there are fewer people in your economy to work and pay taxes to keep those benefits going. The problem is even more serious than that, but to put it mildly, we need an expanding birthing population, not a declining one. I would argue that the average birthrate per family should be much higher than that of two children. Elon Musk and President Trump are good examples of a nontraditional family approach where each man has produced many kids with multiple women, which is not what I would recommend. I like the idea of romantic love as the troubadours proposed it. But out of necessity, women who want children turn to nontraditional ways of getting there and redefining what a family is. And to understand that, we have to look for historical examples of how the Bible dealt with these problems in the past. Romantic love was an excessive luxury from a culture that could afford it. Most of the time, and in most regions of the world even to this very day, arranged marriages to secure the production of children in a family unit was the primary concern. The happiness of the participants was a distant priority. So, this notion of picking a soulmate and bonding with that person for life is a very new one. And maintaining a sexual union with that one person is an evolutionary idea, not a foundational concern. And sadly, we are seeing too many people these days having to face the music on what all that means to them.


The story of Jacob, father of the Israeli people, is a good example and the center of a lot of controversy, especially when we talk about Mormons practicing polygamy. To avoid the legal stigma of having more than one wife, people are turning to loose sexual associations within the context of mature relationships to produce children by multiple women, which is what Elon Musk has been doing. And women, if they want children from stable and good men, they have to make severe concessions to their expectations in life. And that’s how it was when Jacob met Rachel by a well and fell in love with her. Real troubadour love. And she was excited and went home to tell her family about it. But her father was having a hard time marrying off his oldest daughter, Leah. So he tricked the young Jacob by telling him to labor for him for 7 years to win Rachel’s hand in marriage. Then on the wedding night, he put a veil on his oldest daughter and sent her to Jacob to consummate the marriage. In the morning, Jacob was upset that he had not slept with Rachel, but her older sister, Leah. So Jacob complained to the father, and they made a deal. Jacob would work for the father for another 7 years to win Rachel’s hand, too. Because he really loved Rachel, he did not love Leah. But he ended up, after fourteen years of labor, having two legal wives and two concubines, one coming with each of the daughters. The women had to make all kinds of concessions to earn their way under Jacob’s roof because the value system of that time was the production of children.


One woman can only produce so many kids in her lifetime, so in families like Jacob’s, which was common in the near east and is even a common practice to this day in that region if a man can afford multiple wives, the institution of marriage is not to preserve the troubadour concept of individual love and its fulfilment to a personal journey, but the production of a large family with lots of children to populate the earth and multiply proportionally. Out of those four women, the 12 tribes of Israel were made, which created all of the Jewish people we think of now. It was complicated; the older sister, Leah, was scorned because she was unloved. She did her duty but wasn’t the sister Jacob wanted, so it was far from a happy home. And out of necessity, because there aren’t many good men today, women are finding themselves in situations similar to Leah’s. They want children, but they may not be able to afford a man of their own in the troubadour sense of romantic love, because our society has pushed that concept aside in favor of a depopulation agenda that has targeted the human race for disposal, and a biological terrorist to the sustenance of nature on earth. And that failure has left a lot of broken hearts and desperate women who have found that a career servicing the state did not fill the hole in their hearts of producing children in the context of a family they could believe in. So we are seeing the remnants of a massive social experiment that has failed grotesquely and left many people wanting, even to the point where President Trump’s three wives and children, who came from all of them, appear normal by today’s standards.


The Bible is about a lot of things, but there is a lot of sex in it. One of the more dramatic ones is the story of Abraham and Sarah, who had the son Isaac late in life. But before that, because Sarah couldn’t produce children, she wanted her husband to sleep with her handmaid Hagar, who made the son Ishmael. Isaac became the father of the Jewish and Christian people. Ishmael, the scorned son cast away once born by the jealous and regretful wife, became the father of Islam. We see how that went; the world is fighting with each other like brothers fight over a father’s love and respect. However, the root cause of the problem was that not enough good men and women were willing to make concessions to have children and build a family. And that is where many women are now, and it’s a shame. But it’s something we have to deal with to solve our birthrate problem. We need to produce more children for all kinds of reasons. And we need to do it in this generation. There was a reason that during western expansion, Americans produced big families with many children, and the Bible was a motivating factor for that belief system. And the production of children was the primary concern. The idea of romantic love and dedication came to those who could afford such an idea. But the first thing we must deal with is that we need more men who are worth building a family with. And that is the significant crisis of our time. There aren’t enough good men for women to produce children with. And that needs to change, dramatically. Oh, there are a lot of men, for the most part, one for every woman. But most of them aren’t worth the trouble, leaving women desperately struggling to make concessions that they shouldn’t have to make.

The Case of Emily Nutley: Why do so many teachers want to have sex with their students

Let’s talk about Emily Nutley, the 43-year-old former head counselor and director of academic services at St. Xavier High School, the prestigious all-boys Jesuit Catholic school in Cincinnati, Ohio, who pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery on April 7th, 2025.  She had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student who eventually got tired of her and told authorities about the scandal, which prompted an investigation, and the prosecution of the case by Melissa Powers, who I think is a fantastic prosecutor.  It wasn’t hard to prove the merits of the case since Nutley sent the student nude pictures of herself to his cell phone, so that pretty much was that.  But why, here as a young woman who was married with three kids, she had a master’s degree and lived in a very nice neighborhood in Mason, Ohio.  She had a great job.  Everything looked on the outside to be a pretty perfect life.  So why would she throw it all away to have a sexual relationship with a kid?  With so many options, why would she make such a horribly bad decision that would ruin her for the rest of her life?  And here’s the real issue: if she hadn’t pushed the relationship to the point that she did, where the kid got tired of her, how long would it have gone on, because it was the student who said something?  How many of these cases are going on that nobody will ever find out about because there hasn’t been a whistleblower?  And when there is a whistleblower, how many get covered up by the administrators trying to protect the school’s reputation?  In my experience, a lot.  There are a lot of Emily Nutleys out there.  I know the type of “pro teacher” employee that Emily Nutley was.  They are very common and prone to the same behavior; this is no isolated incident.

This case reminded me of when I was in high school a long time ago.  We had a Spanish teacher who was about the same age as Emily, at the end of her childbearing years and was hot to trot with all the emerging maleness of high school.  She was very willing to help certain guys in class with their homework.  She was well perfumed and would unbutton her shirt when she’d lean over you to help with something you were working on.  Very awkwardly, in front of the whole class.  And she was very willing to show off her goodies and lay them on your shoulder when she explained things to you.  My friends and I called her Senorita Slut because it was apparent she was climbing the walls with sexual tension.  This kind of thing is by no means new.  Emily Nutley isn’t the first and certainly won’t be the last.  And I’d say that her situation is quite common.  When you start talking to people in these schools, behind the polite decorum of professionalism, there is a lot of sex going on.  There is teacher-to-student sex.  Teacher to teacher sex.  And there are a lot more cases of teacher and parent sex than many people would like to admit to.  The teacher is explaining to a parent the conditions of their kid in class, and before long, they are exchanging phone numbers and sending each other nude photos over coffee at Starbucks.  If they don’t have a firm grip on their values, people fly off the handle pretty fast, which was undoubtedly the case with Emily Nutley.

I feel sorry for the former teacher; Emily’s life is ruined, and she’ll never recover.  Watching her plead guilty in court with her dad there to support her is just a train wreck of serious mistakes that any rational person should be able to avoid easily.  But she threw it all away for nothing, and now she will never be able to put it behind her.  In court, she attempted to place the blame on her husband for neglect, indicating that her sexual frustrations were because he wasn’t fulfilling his husbandly duties.  But what does she expect as a person in her 40s with three kids and many social requirements that a school teacher living in Mason is expected to live up to?  Sex for mature adults is not easy to come by, so life has a way of chipping away at people.  That doesn’t mean that you take up sexual residence with a student in your school.  Why him and not one of the many options for sex with just about anybody that’s out there these days?  It’s a lot easier now than when I was in school with Senorita Slut.  So why did she do it, and what can we do to protect ourselves from it?  And my answer to that is that you can’t do anything about it.  It’s a systems failure.  It’s what happens when people get together and is part of our biological coding.  When an intellectual mind fails to overcome biological desire, bad things happen.  And in public and private school settings, no matter how much money parents are paying for an excellent education, there is a desire for sex among human beings with each other.  And the more we rationalize surrendering to animal behavior in society, the more people like Emily Nutley are going to start sending naked pictures of themselves to their students.

I think at least 10% of the adult population of any education system has sexual activity going on with either the students or other adults in the school.  At least.  The only way that people like Emily Nutley get caught is that things get out of hand and someone says something.  Most of the time, the relationships fizzle out.  When we learned in Lakota that a superintendent had sexual fantasies about sex with some of the students that they shared, which came out in a police report, a window into that world was all too clear.  Sex in educational endeavors was common.  Putting aging women in a room full of emerging young men with their whole sexual lives in front of them is a dangerous combination.  And when you couple that to porn addiction among adult males and the lowering of social standards, you have a hazardous combination of things that are impossible to manage.  As I said, our education system is grotesquely broken, and I gave up on it long ago.  This case has an aggressive prosecutor in Melissa Powers.  It had naked pictures of the teacher sent to the student, the whistleblower.  And it had a confession by the perpetrator.  Her husband divorced her.  She lost her job.  Her kids will never forgive her.  And she currently awaits sentencing.  But without the whistleblower.  Without the prosecutor.  This would be just one more widespread occurrence in all schools, where humans desire to express themselves sexually to other people for a whole bunch of really dumb reasons.  And yeah, I feel sorry for Emily Nutley.  In many ways, she was doing what a progressive society encourages.  And she followed those rules to this complete social destruction, and she has lost everything in the process.  But even more than that, there are lots of these things going on; our education systems are not safe places. Instead, they are some of the most dangerous places, and the predators who hold master’s degrees are well paid, have families, and prestigious titles in society.  But behind it all is a lot of scandalous behavior from bored minds seeking fleshly affirmation, even at the promise of self-destruction.
