I Endorse Michael Ryan for Butler County Commissioner: A wonderful future if only we have the courage to embrace it

I thought it was going to be a secret for a while, but it was announced at the Nancy Nix fundraiser on February 21st, 2025, that Michael Ryan, the Hamilton City Council member and Vice Mayor, was planning to run for one of the commissioner openings that were coming up in November of 2026.  I have felt for a long time that if only T.C. Rogers, one of the current commissioners in Butler County, had another friendly vote, lots of good things could happen for a community that has over 400,000 people and has the potential for some of the best economic output anywhere in the United States, or even the world for that matter.  If another commissioner could help with the critical free market philosophy, lots of upward mobility for a lot of people would be created.  Upon hearing this news, I first thought that Michael would be a perfect replacement for the current commissioner, Cindy Carpenter.  I haven’t been a fan of hers since she started, but her career path fell off the road last year when she was caught campaigning for a Democrat in Middletown, Ohio.   There is a lot of talk about Cindy winning eight straight elections even though she has a lot of detractors in the Republican Party.  I would argue that the reason she holds up so well to Democrat challengers is because she is essentially a Democrat who puts an “R” next to her name to win elections in a very conservative county.  I think this campaigning in Middletown for Democrats thing will hurt her now in ways she’s not used to, so I think she’s very vulnerable.   We’re in a new day of politics, and putting up with these RINOs has been something that Central Committees have not been willing to do, especially when they have an opportunity to get a MAGA type of officeholder.  And that is precisely what Michael V. Ryan is.

My wife has been very busy with family business lately.  To run a family well takes a massive commitment sometimes, and my wife is the kind of person who will drop everything at the drop of a hat to help my two daughters with life as it’s happening.  This leaves me going to some of these vital community functions by myself a lot.  And at Nancy’s fundraiser, I talked too much to too many people to find a seat in the vast crowd.  Nancy Nix always does a great job with these events, which are always well-attended.  On this particular evening, it was being held at the Elks Club in Liberty Township, which is a favorite venue of mine.  It holds a lot of people, and she always brings in big-time comedy acts to entertain people during a nice dinner provided by the Spinning Fork restaurant that facilitates the club.  The comedians were Jeff Jena, Dave Dugan, and Lou Santini, so they were not second-rate acts, so seating had some priority.  If my wife had been with me, we would have found a seat and held it near people we usually associate with.  But Jeff Jena was acting as the master of ceremonies, and he was getting impatient. People were still talking as it was time to serve dinner and start the show.  So I needed to stop shindigging and get to a seat.  I had been talking to Michael Ryan about several county and city topics, and he saw my dilemma and said that I could sit with him and his wife, along with others from city councils in not just Hamilton but also nearby Middletown. 

Michael and I have had a lot of discussions over the years about the potential of Butler County, and as a younger guy, he has reminded me of a lot of up-and-coming political people who are formulating the MAGA movement that is emerging behind Trump’s leadership in the Executive Branch, which includes J.D. Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Bernie Moreno.  These are different kinds of brilliant people who could be successful in any field they want to be in.  However, a personality type is emerging that is quite noticeable, and Michael Ryan, who I call “young” at 41 years old, has a lot of good stuff to give.  Once I heard that he was planning to run for that Butler County Commissioner seat that Cindy Carpenter occupied, I got excited and decided to get behind his campaign and help however I could.  As he and I were talking about his upcoming campaign, shortly after Nancy Nix gave him a full endorsement in front of the crowd that caused a little controversy, in a good way, he kept reminding me of a different version of Vivek Ramaswamy. I met Vivek years ago through Nancy Nix and a few other places at VIP events, such as a time with Mike Pompeo and again as he prepared to announce his race for Governor of Ohio.  Leading up to Nancy’s fundraiser, I was coordinating that big announcement with Vivek at CTL Aerospace, and I noted how different this new generation of politicians was as opposed to the past before Trump changed politics forever.  Michael Ryan fits this new, young, ambitious type of politician who runs toward capitalism, not away from it as Cindy Carpenter has all these years. 

So I appreciated Michael and his very nice wife Amanda letting me share in their date night as a third wheel.  We talked about many incredible opportunities for Butler County if only someone like him could fill that critical seat.  We spent a lot of time discussing the vertical taxi market, which I have been talking about with everyone with a mind to listen.  A lot of people haven’t yet put all the dots together, but Joby Aviation is right up the road of the aviation corridor of I-75 that Vivek Ramaswamy is planning to talk a lot about as his run for governor, and they are building eVTOL aircraft that are ready to go right now.  I told everyone months ago how it was going to go down. They are only waiting for regulation approval and can start shipping these air taxi vehicles worldwide.  China and Abu Dhabi are the first to market as they have much fewer regulatory environments to slow them down.  However, under the Trump administration, I’m just saying that those barriers to the United States will be removed.  And someone like Michael Ryan is just the kind of person with the vision to put their arms around it and bring top tech innovation to Butler County as a leader of this emerging new technology.  He understands the value of that kind of innovation, but that’s not the only reason I like Michael.  He’s just a good person who wants to do good things, and I enjoyed spending time with him and his wife, along with the table of fellow council members and community managers.  Michael and Amanda are the kind of people you want to see providing leadership and opportunity to people hungry for it, and Butler County is a prime place to have the most vibrant economy in a state that is going to be Trump’s example of turning a rust belt into a tech giant.  From my experience with the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign for governor, I know his plans for the state.  And to cascade off that, Butler County can be the leader of the state to have the best opportunities that many people can’t yet possibly imagine.  And with a commissioner like Michael Ryan, even the wildest dreams of the most optimistic people can’t even be imagined because such greatness has never yet been seen among the human race. But that opportunity is coming at us very soon, with Vivek Ramaswamy as Ohio Governor and Michael Ryan as Butler County Commissioner. 

Oh, and regarding Joby Aviation and why Abu Dhabi is the current leader in the eVTOL market. Joby’s S4 aircraft, which hauls a pilot and four passengers at 200 mph with a 100-mile range, could slash the two-hour car slog from Abu Dhabi to Dubai to a breezy 30 minutes—no emissions, and much less noise than a chopper. They’re tying this into Abu Dhabi’s Smart and Autonomous Vehicles Industry (SAVI) cluster, a big local initiative to lead in next-gen transport. Joby’s already got exclusive rights to operate in Dubai starting as early as 2025, and this Abu Dhabi move opens the door for zippy inter-emirate trips. They’ve been showing off the aircraft at events like DRIFTx in Yas Marina, flexing their tech to seal the deal.  This is not science fiction.  The only thing stopping us in the United States is having the kind of politicians who can take away the barriers to market saturation currently held up to the speed of slow government left to us by Joe Biden and Obama’s years of bureaucratic infrastructure. The eVTOL is the future of transportation, much more important than building any new highway or railroad.  And Butler County, Ohio can lead America if only it has the right politicians who can make it happen.  The money and investment are just waiting for the pin-headed politicians like Cindy Carpenter to get out of the way.

What a Miracle to see RFK Jr. Confirmed: The hidden war against Americans through poisoned food

It was different this time, whenever I go to political fundraisers, there’s always hope lurking in the background that if only we could get this person elected, or that, that maybe, just maybe, we might save the world.  But a kind of dismal smoke always makes everything political seem out of reach, even diabolical.  Things never quite work out how you want them to, and the political efforts always come out feeling short on the results.  However, the atmosphere was dramatically different this year at the Nancy Nix fundraiser for February of 2025.  Trump had been back in the White House for a month, but things were already feeling dramatically different.  Kash Patel had just been confirmed as the new Director of the FBI, which I never thought possible, and it is a topic of its own.  Most of Trump’s presidential picks had received confirmation votes in the Senate.  But the one I think is astonishing, and that I thought was even less of a possibility than Kash Patel, is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  The Senate confirmed RFK Jr. into his new role as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and I am very excited to see what he can do with our food supply.  After reading his books on Anthony Fauci, I never thought he’d be in any government role.  It just seemed like a fantasy that could never come true.  But he did get confirmed, and that will be his new job, and I think great things will happen from that position.  Not that I am suddenly about government regulations or supportive of Democrats.  But in a tough time, when I was reading Bobby’s books about the origin and villains of COVID-19, I thought it took a lot of guts to say what he did and that all those things have stood up to time legally. 

Let’s not play patty cake with this issue; COVID was the most diabolical menace created as a bioweapon that has so far been unleashed on the human race within the context of mass scale. It was created in a lab in Wuhan and released to the world during an election year when China was very upset about Trump’s trade tariffs, and there is only one way to view that kind of thing: as a terrorist weapon meant to drive a World Economic Forum Great Reset of the global economy into a communist-controlled menace.  And that’s saying it all nicely.  For those who think we can turn the page and forget what Covid was, who made it, and why, forget about it.  Those involved in creating and distributing COVID-19 must be punished for what they did. The pharma companies that perpetuated the destruction must also be dealt with.  We can’t let it go.  Time and distance can’t make the guilty less guilty.  They have to pay, and RFK Jr. laid out the case in his two books on the subject, The Real Anthoney Fauci and The Wuhan Cover-up.  As the new HHS secretary, the author of those books gets to drive health policy in America, knowing what we do now about all the diabolical forces in the background who used health care as a global power grab to install a one-world government driven ultimately by the United Nations, through their sub-tier, The World Health Organization.  These are all bad people from socialist and communist countries, and they have been trying to destroy our nation through policy regulation for years, and with COVID-19, they went too far.  Trump knows it, and his new HHS secretary wrote the book on the matter.

Regarding poison, I have become very skeptical of our food supply and how our water is treated across America.  Watching what many evil characters without refute did during COVID-19 has opened the door to everything, such as fluoride and corn syrup, as known catastrophic mechanisms of doom.   Even if the government pinheads did everything on accident, just trying to meet the market needs of a capitalist public, allowing known killers to poison our food just can’t occur.  As an example, a good friend of mine just traveled to England, where a week there lowered his blood sugar dramatically as he has diabetes, just through diet.  I have had a similar experience and complained about it a lot.  The food in Europe has all kinds of regulations and doesn’t taste nearly as good as it does in America.  Usually, after I take a trip to Europe or Asia, I look forward to my layover flights in either Chicago, Detroit, or Charlette upon re-entering the United States because I pig out on double combo meals from the nearest Burger King just to get my usual food intake levels back to what they are used to in America.  But maybe that shouldn’t be the case.  Our food is making us unhealthy, and not that Europe or Asia is doing something better than us with tight market controls over the food supply, but perhaps in this case, their admission to the health crises is far more than just being a nanny state over their citizens.  We’re at a point where you can’t have any discussions about healthcare policy without dealing with the poison that is in most foods, hidden behind our free market system with the same intentions as drug dealers seek to poison our citizens slowly.  Who needs war to kill off your enemy when you can just encourage them to poison themselves with drugs and poorly constructed food? 

I was with a large group of affiliates at the P.F. Chang’s in West Chester where we were talking about this very issue, and we were all sharing some lettuce wraps and talking about all the harmful ingredients that were in American Chinese food that you wouldn’t find in the country of origin.  And my attitude was, “Who cares?” because this food had to be good for you because I wouldn’t be eating a leaf if not for all the good stuff that you poor over it to make it taste good.  So, indeed, the leaf had health value.  But, when you think of the vast amounts of food we eat where those kinds of concessions are constantly being made, our bodies can’t keep up with all the lousy processing, destroying our population.  So we needed to have a serious discussion on food, and we need to set some standards that are going to be rough on companies taking advantage of the freedom they have had because we can’t poison our population and hide laziness and a lack of innovation behind a mask of capitalism, and to call it good.  Because so many companies have gotten away with literal murder, the pharma companies thought they were going to get away with COVID-19 and the vaccines that caused so much trouble with ridiculous immunity deals from any prosecution.  The solution to all in RFK was to be in some position to help.  And to have a Trump administration that would have the guts to turn him loose.  And now he is, Robert F. Kenndy Jr. is getting the chance of a lifetime, and he won’t waste it.  Which, of course, we will all benefit from.   Our food might taste different, but we’ll get used to it.  Because ultimately, we all want to be healthier and not let our enemies laugh at us while we poison ourselves recklessly and without regard for a prosperous future.

Elon Musk and a Gold Chainsaw: The destructive force of the D.O.G.E. flood of information is saving humanity

When Elon Musk is on stage at CPAC with Argentina’s wild president Javier Milei waving around a gold chainsaw like a madman, you know the dark curse holding back all of human civilization has been broken.  Never under any condition a year ago would such a bizarre concept be considered even remotely possible.  Yet there it is.  It really happened and they were serious about it.  Of course, the chainsaw was intent on cutting costs as Elon Musk has been leading the charge for cutting government waste spending in a dramatic way, and within a month, has caused a sensation worldwide.  The whole scene was like a screenplay that I would have written under the most fantastic considerations, only to have an audience confirm that everything was just too unbelievable to put into a movie sequence.  Even our wildest fantasies would never lend credibility to such a series of events, which can only mean one thing: that a curse looming over our lives all these years is finally ending.  I’ve been talking about this stuff for dozens of years; the amount of government waste from our progressive tax system and this flood of D.O.G.E. information is terrific, if not timely.  We weren’t going to make it much longer under the previous system, and as a response, now that Elon Musk has been red-pilled into this perspective that he showed off on stage at CPAC, the world will have no choice but to follow.  D.O.G.E is likely the best thing to ever happen to America and it started on day one of the new Trump administration and has been justified by every bad thing that was done to Trump, and anybody who got caught up on the bad side of politics because they wanted to stop the kind of waste that goes with every government project. 

When we talk about floods, we often think of the force of water pressure that carries away all the debris from a river valley and dumps it far away, leaving behind a fresh surface, as all the weak garbage of society has been removed.  Floods, like raging fires, can clean things up, even if their initial implementation is violent and destructive.  And for many people who have been working in government jobs with outrageously good pay and benefits, but doing very little to actually deserve it, this D.O.G.E. process is terrible and destructive.  But for Musk to parade around with a chainsaw and laugh about cutting away all the government waste is a much-needed revenge for every time some loser politician said to us that we had to pay our fair share.  We were supposed to dump all this money into the mouths of a bunch of lazy thieves and pay more of it to feed their worthless souls.  Elon Musk probably is the most burdened taxpayer on earth, paying more than anybody else.  But that’s not why he is doing this; he’s the wealthiest person in the world, can pay all his taxes, and still has more money in a lifetime than anybody could ever spend on themselves.  But there is one thing that money can buy that they don’t talk about in the Bible, regarding threading the needle of goodness.  Money buys personal freedom, and because Musk is a free person, he can express himself as a person broken away from this matrix of government oppression because of his wealth.  Trump, in many ways, is in the same position.  When they tried to destroy him, it was his vast wealth that saved him and put him in place to do what he is now as president, appointing people like Musk to lead D.O.G.E., which is ripping the top off government corruption for the first real-time in history, with dramatic effect. 

There is no way to put this Genie back in the bottle; now that it’s out, it’s here to stay.  The argument about paying more to a worthless, expensive government will never return because of this flood of D.O.G.E information from a Department of Government Efficiency.  Cost cutting is back in our daily dialogue, which seemed to be gone forever just four years ago when the world government proposed endless spending like there was no tomorrow.  The evil that fuels the beast of the kind of government that brought us the COVID lockdowns and trillions of dollars of debt is the one that steals our tax money and uses it for globalists’ garbage.  And that game ended the day that Trump was re-elected and then sworn in on January 20th, 2025.  I remember how immensely angry I was on a cold day in March just 5 years ago when COVID was starting to shut down everything and a friend and I were trying to go to lunch at P.F. Chang’s but couldn’t because they had closed the dining room over Health Department safety concerns.  For people who have seen me mad, I scared even them that day, and I swore to myself that I would punish every last person involved in keeping me from getting my lunch because it was an attack on me and my community and country.  And I wasn’t going to stand for it.  And apparently, I wasn’t the only one.  Five years later, the battle has turned in our favor dramatically, and what happens next will be magnificent and well-deserved.

The video I did for this article is an appropriate metaphor. I was speaking about this topic in a snowstorm next to the flooded Great Miami River, and that’s how these years have felt.  I was in a storm, and a mess needed to be cleaned up.  However, as a result, there was a flood that couldn’t help but carry away all the carnage from that battle.  And with just a month of D.O.G.E. with Elon Musk leading it, and President Trump doing what he has always done best, to use executive leadership to empower many people to do many great things, as he has done in his companies, and was featured on the television show The Apprentice.  All this wouldn’t have been possible without the element of revenge that gave us all more than enough firepower to shoot back at those trying to suppress us.  That day, I stood in front of P.F. Chang’s with my friend, angry at the closed dining room imposed on us by the Dr. Faucis of the world; the revenge tour of today is more than earned.  We don’t need to feel bad for this flood of information converting our government back into something useful, perhaps for the first real-time.  As bad as our enemies have been to us, both foreign and domestic, they showed their wrath.  They didn’t manage to kill us.  And now, it’s time for righteous revenge, which is what is happening now.  And everyone is involved this time, even Elon Musk.  Going back even further, when I was on WLW radio with Darryl Parks on those Saturday shows, we never thought something like Elon Musk running around on a stage at CPAC with a chainsaw would have been remotely possible.  Yet, there it is, and we have much more to look forward to.  It almost makes all our pain and suffering worth it…………almost.

When Will the Price of Eggs Come Down: Understanding the basics of economics

It is truly stunning how poor people’s educations are these days, and they don’t understand the basics of economics.   I grew up thinking a lot about Kunta Kinte, the main character from Roots, who was very popular on television during my childhood.  Not that I’m a supporter of the 1619 Project or anything below the line like that, but if I had been growing up during the abolitionist period that led to the Civil War, I would have been a hardcore anti-slavery guy, and I would dare say that if not for the United States, there would still be slavery in the world because that is how the world did business in that period.  I’m pro-freedom for everyone on earth, and I hate authority over anybody as a general policy.  So I found it repulsive while watching Roots that slave owners would cut off the feet of Kunta Kinte so that he couldn’t run away.  Or that enslaved people were not allowed to learn to read, which to me is just as crippling.  Keeping people dumb and disabled is a means of controlling them, and I flat-out don’t like it for anybody.  I spend a significant portion of my life trying to teach people to be brighter so they can taste the benefits of free life as much as possible because that is the heart of the human experience.  And for me, that includes drug use or any kind of dependency.  If it robs people of self-initiative, I am against it.  That is precisely why I have hated our public education system in America since the Department of Education was created, because it was terrible and inspired to make people dependent on other people rather than teach them to be free.  That’s why I have fought against public education most of my life.

However, what we see coming out of this new Trump administration is astonishing regarding how economies work.  The basic laws of supply and demand are not known to people in general, and they want to see why the price of eggs is not lower than it is with the flip of some switch that President Trump controls.  I don’t think the New World Order ever thought someone like President Trump would ever be in the American White House again because they were not prepared for the level of competency that he, as an American business executive, brings to the office.  I don’t see anything that Trump is doing as unusual.  Controlling and cutting costs are the very basics in any business endeavor, and what the Trump administration is doing is essential business.  It’s what we should be doing everywhere.  But it exposes how dumb many people have become because they are modern versions of poor Kunta Kinte.  They may have their feet and be able to read.  However, the wisdom of humans in using those tools has been destroyed by a public education system and a philosophy of globalism in general that has made them no better off in life.  Their years in school have crippled them in just the same way that enslaved people were crippled by their masters for all the same reasons.  And because of that, people don’t understand why prices are so messed up on everything these days, and when Trump says that he is going to fix it, they don’t know that it’s much more complicated than just flipping on a switch and everything returns to normal.  No, we are dealing with government forces who, through policy, have actually destroyed entire market sectors in a wealth redistribution scheme of socialism at large, and the amount of evil involved exceeds what most people can process.

The price of eggs, gasoline, or any consumer goods starts with the burden of an over-regulatory policy that crushes small egg manufacturers out of business and leaves only the corporate conglomerates with massive lobby power in Washington to survive.  They can afford the high prices of eggs because government policies destroy their competition, so they can maintain their margins through a monopoly status.  Especially since COVID-19, when administrative fools made a power grab for global authority and burdened all economic policies so that many companies couldn’t survive.  Many companies went out of business during the Covid period, and many never bounced back after they bought hook, line, and sinker the scam of Covid protocols, all the work-from-home nonsense, elimination of multi-shift fulfillment, and a transportation industry desperately looking for over the road truckers to keep everything in the American economy moving at the speed of business.  Eight years of Obama and 4 years of Biden, with just 4 years of sanity in between with Trump the first time, has left the American economy a disaster with too much government tampering through regulation, and that is why the cost of eggs is high, and many other things.  There aren’t enough suppliers to compete with each other because all that has survived were the big corporate conglomerates who are only in business now because they could afford to buy through lobbying power, politicians that would keep them safe from too much regulation.  But under these masked communist administrations, which Obama certainly was, and Biden was trying to mimic, regulation was their weapon, and Covid was the ultimate regulatory weapon that could mass shape the economy of the world toward centralized state control of all assets and prices could be whatever they decided they were. 

The ultimate target was the fossil fuel industry. The government believed that if prices were too high, people would choose to use public transportation and move to electric cars and alternative solar energy as an occult dedication to Mesopotamian religious beliefs of nature worship on a mass scale.  These governments had so little respect for people in general that they thought they’d get away with everything, that if they didn’t teach us to read and cut off our feet so we could never run away, we’d be their political slaves forever.  The way to bring down prices is to make it more conducive for more egg manufacturers to compete with other egg manufacturers so that prices will come down to the best supplier.  That’s how basic economics works; the more government tampering, the higher the prices.  The less, the cheaper.  The balance is in how much regulation is needed not to discourage upstarts and still produce products that are generally safe outside the normal market controls.  And for that to happen, Trump will inspire prices to come down within a few months.  And within a few years, economic pricing will dramatically change.  But it won’t happen in just a few weeks.  People who would even think so, shows how badly they understand things, such as fundamental economic theory.  I majored in economics in college, and many people thought I’d make a living at it because I was good at understanding the concepts in a way that was difficult for other people to get their minds around.  But these things are so basic that I would have been bored to death.  These are the basics of human existence and aren’t complicated.  It’s great that Trump is back in the White House, and it won’t take long to make the American economy the best in the world.  We will start to see the signs of that during 2025.  But it will be slow and gradual, not dramatic and fast.  It takes time for small businesses to form to take on the corporate conglomerates and to bring prices down with competition.  And until there is more competition for everything, prices will be high.

Steve Bannon Pleads Guilty to Fraud: Why people like outlaws, but not criminals

It can get pretty murky whenever money is involved as to the final outcome, which to me was the case with Steve Bannon, the popular WarRoom podcaster and former strategic advisor to President Trump.  He recently pleaded guilty to defrauding investors on a private effort to fund the southern border wall in the U.S.  The hitching point for prosecutors was that the investors believed that 100% of the money was to go to construct the wall, so if some of that money goes to buying a pack of gum for instance, or some administrative cost such as buying paper for a copier, then that could and would be considered fraudulent behavior and a political enemy could then use that technicality to call the behavior fraudulent.  It can get pretty wild and scary with all the emails that start dealing with money.  I have a standard policy of keeping any money out of it when I do something with others to avoid the pitfalls Bannon found himself in.  When you find yourself a prominent national figure, some people will always seek to sink you on any technicality.  So, of course, the radical leftists think this admission of guilt from Bannon is going to hurt him in the eyes of his very vast podcasting public, and I hate to break it to everyone, but America likes bandits and outlaws, so long as they are not bad guys themselves and are seen as fighting against a corrupt system.  In that case, people will find the criminal behavior to be good and will punish the bad guys who attempt to get control of the law so they can define good and bad behavior.  People still have a sense of justice that extends beyond what some central authority tries to impose, which is exactly how President Trump ended up back in the White House and where the mug shot he received from the Fulton County Jail over the case there regarding overturning the election of 2020 is now seen hanging outside the Oval Office in the White House.  People are pretty smart and not just compliant followers, and they could smell a rat in that case; the more Trump’s political enemies dug in, the more they supported Trump and, of course, people like Steve Bannon.

A good soundboard on this strange mystery can be seen in my favorite steak house in Cincinnati.  I think it’s the best steak house in the Midwest, and it is certainly on par with any restaurant, wherever they are, in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, London, or anywhere else.  It’s called Son of a Butcher in Liberty Township, Ohio.  Growing up in Liberty Township, I never imagined in my wildest fantasy that something like Son of a Butcher would be located where it would be and that some of what went on in that location would be some of the most essential things in the business and political world.  But we’re talking about bad guys here and can’t stray too far off the mark.  If you have ever been to Son of a Butcher, it is known for its very wild interior decorating with lots of art painted all over the walls and crazy chandeliers hanging from the ceiling everywhere.  Every room in the restaurant has a kind of artistic expression reflecting contemporary pop culture.  For instance, in one room looming over what they call the Godfather table, indicated so from the popular movie series, is a painting of the Joker from the Batman movies.  Another room is filled with paintings of books from popular literature.  It’s a wild place artistically and looks more like a kind of dive bar in New York than something you’d find anywhere in Cincinnati, let alone Liberty Township, Ohio. 

Of course, the food is even better than the decorations, as they know how to pack a punch for food preparation.  They have some very expensive steaks at the S.O.B., as it’s known, and a couple of people eating there could very easily spend 1K per couple.  Some of the food items are moderately priced, but they are on the high end of the menu offerings and is often one of the most interesting places I find myself in routinely. It’s the perfect place to meet people for complicated conversations, to say things appropriately.  When I am there, I am usually put into a back room, which is my favorite place, that seats about 8 to 10 people, has crystal skulls all over the place and is pretty wild in a place of wild rooms.  They call this place the Criminal Room, and it has pictures of famous outlaws popularly known.  Painted on those walls is a large mural of Bonnie and Clyde.  Around the circumference of the room are two large paintings of very well-known pop culture icons, Marylin Monroe and the other Snoop Dogg.  Marylin Monroe was arrested several times for driving without a license and driving too slow in one instance.  Another time, it was for a peaceful protest.  The room paints her with a mug shot, illustrating that just about anybody can be seen as an outlaw if people dig far enough. Then there is Snoop Dogg, who lately has been trying to change his image into something more kid-friendly and popular rather than the thug gangster rapper who advocated for lots of recreational pot use.  Snoop Dogg was arrested for his role in a murder investigation, the details of which have just been sealed from public record in 2024, about the time that the popular rap star and Corona beer commercial spokesman started to change his image to a broader audience.  The murder was a 1993 case that didn’t quite get to prosecute him for extended jail time, but the charges were severe.

The point of the matter is that even with the murder charge hanging over Snoop Dogg’s head, the public didn’t care.  They bought his records anyway, turning him into one of the world’s superstars in music.  And I probably wouldn’t know much of that story if he wasn’t painted on the Son of the Butcher walls that I see at least once a month.  That is certainly the case with Steve Bannon and even President Trump.  Republicans have been harming themselves with their brand by trying to push out the bad boys that all the women like and put in place all the embarrassing stiff pencil necks that they think adhere to the law, but when they get pushed around by the political left, they end up being seen as George McFly from the Back to the Future movies.  Steve Bannon sees himself more like John Paul Jones, the popular pirate from the Revolution, so he understood all this well before others did in the GOP.  But the lesson is, if you want to win people over to your point of view, a background as an outlaw only helps you.  Being a criminal, however, hurts you, so there is a very fine line to walk. The difference is public judgment; if the public sees lawfare occurring, they will support the victim if they stick up for themselves, which is why having those celebrities in that room at the S.O.B. is so artistically revealing. We love people who challenge the law that corrupt people use to hold back our society.  But people do not love criminals who unfairly seek to exploit people in a weakened position.  And the more that the bad guys have tried to prosecute Steve Bannon, who just stepped out of a jail term right before the election of 2024.  The more popular and influential they have made him.

Why You Should See ‘Flight Risk’: Setting up ‘The Resurrection’ in all its Book of Revelation glory

As of this writing, you can still see the new Mel Gibson movie, Flight Risk, in the movie theater, which you should do.  It’s such a good movie that you should not finish reading this before you do, you should rush to see it while you still can.  I’m sure the movie will be on streaming services soon, but this is one of those movies that is a point in history and is a bridge to other great things.  And we should all support a movie like this by going to the theater to see it because there is a bigger picture coming together here.  I personally love Mel Gibson.  I understand Mel Gibson.  And I think, as a filmmaker, he is one of the best there will ever be.  Ironically, back in my high school days when Mel Gibson was on his way to being considered by women to be the sexiest man alive, I had several teachers who wanted to date me as an underage opportunity because I reminded them of Mel Gibson, with that crazy kind of energy that was about to blow apart in a moment’s notice.  Those similarities might have been actual from a visual appearance and aspects of personality, but unlike Mel Gibson, I didn’t drink, smoke or even curse.  But I was always a fan of him in serious movies like The Bounty, The River, the Lethal Weapon movies, and Bird on a Wire with Goldie Hawn.  Mel Gibson was at the top of Hollywood society until he directed The Passion, which took the world by storm.  And Hollywood went into a shock.  Their wild playboy and king of the box office had turned against them with a dramatically Christian movie that cut to the core of all human corruption, and it made them angry.  And they cut Mel Gibson from the business from that day on.  Gibson is a great actor in front of the camera, but he’s even better as a director.  After The Passion, he directed Apocalypto, one of my favorite movies ever.  But by then, Hollywood essentially ran Gibson out of Hollywood until very recently.

But Mel Gibson didn’t just go away; he has been silently plotting to take on evil as he sees it in the background for the last twenty years.  He has appeared in a few movies here and there and directed a few as well, but he has only done enough to stay relevant in the business so that he could direct his long-thought-of masterpiece, a sequel to The Passion, called The Resurrection of Christ.  I think it will be the Braveheart of Christian films and that when it comes out, probably for Easter of 2027, the world will change because of it, and we want some of these movie theaters to still be open for that theatrical experience.  With Trump back in the White House and appointing Mel Gibson to be an ambassador of the Administration in Hollywood, fate has changed in Mel Gibson’s favor, and he will take his shot to make his long-dreamed-up masterpiece.  And this movie, Flight Risk, was done to open the door for the business side of making that movie, which will start shooting with many of the original actors in 2025.  The way the movie business works is you have to make studios money along with some investors, and Mel Gibson had to put some money in some people’s pockets to advance The Resurrection forward.  Hollywood will completely melt down over this movie, but some people are happy to go against the grain and invest in a project like The Resurrection, so long as they know that Mel Gibson still has the goods and can pull it off.  That is what Flight Risk is, and it’s a movie that is unusually brilliant and bold. 

What’s impressive about Flight Risk is that it’s a movie about high crimes and corruption at the top of our social structure, and yes, all the bad guys get it in the end.  However, the movie has only three actors, and the drama takes place on a little prop plane flying across Alaska over endless mountains. Most of what drives the narrative are people talking on a cell phone or airplane radio.  There are a few other people at the beginning and end of the movie, but it’s a very Hitchcock-like experiment in minimalism.  Mel Gibson is showing off his narrative ability with a camera by doing what few other people would ever dare to do in professional entertainment.  The special effects aren’t excellent.  There is no booming soundtrack.  There are no technical awards for outstanding achievements in film.  It’s just three people in an airplane flying over mountains for most of an hour and a half, and it is very compelling.  Mark Walberg stars in the movie, but otherwise, these people do not inspire people to go to the movies.  Michelle Dockery and Topher Grace are the real stars of the film.  Otherwise, it’s just those three actors for the entire film.  During a weak part of the year, the film has been number one for Lionsgate and has made a profit as the budget was set extremely low, made for about as little money as you can make a movie like this these days.  It hit around 40 million worldwide and has been a slow burner.  But it sets up Mel Gibson to knock the ball out of the park with The Resurrection because, in an economy of scale consideration, the margin on the film shows Mel knows how to hit it, so Flight Risk is successful on many frontiers. 

I think years from now, when people look at the miracle of something like The Resurrection being made, people will wonder how it came to be, and this little film Flight Risk will have to be the door that was opened for Hollywood to become Great Again, as a direct representation of the Trump White House.  To tell a compelling story with no money and just three actors on an airplane running out of gas is a great filmmaker showing off to set up much bigger things, and ultimately, that’s where all this is going.  My wife and I had an excellent date going to see it.  We were out shopping for some ties for some of my suits, and we had an extra couple of hours free, which was unusual, so we went to the movie next to the stores we were shopping at and saw Fight Risk.  I wanted to support Mel Gibson’s new film.  But I was also curious about what he could do with a movie like that.  And I was thrilled to see that he did quite a lot.  I have been cheering Mel Gibson on for twenty years to make the sequel to The Passion finally.  I don’t think anybody in the world could do what Mel Gibson can do with a project like that, to essentially bring the Ephesians and Book of Revelation alive from the Bible and put it on screen very dramatically.  Mel Gibson is a very flawed person; he was a womanizer, a heavy abuser of drugs and alcohol, and essentially a hard-wired lunatic.  But over time, he has grown into a man of God and is essentially the finger of justice as Heaven wishes to implement it on earth, and it has come out through the characters Mel Gibson has played and the movies he has directed.  And it all leads to one place, The Resurrection.  To put on film for the first time the wrath and chaos of the Book of Revelation in all its artistic necessity is going to be spectacular and timely. And the movie Flight Risk shows how it is possible.

The Evendale Nazis: Occult attempts to get leverage over political rivals hidden behind historical perspective

I know a lot of people, so I think I would know somebody who would be connected to the Nazi group that tried to cause some trouble in Evendale, Ohio, displaying swastikas and other Nazi imagery in an attempt to ignite a race war.  With their masked faces and an apparent effort to look like Hitler’s followers with nicely pressed clothes that looked fresh off the rack from Party City, my very first thought was that these were a bunch of government workers, probably public school teachers trying to inspire hatred by stirring up people of color to rise and fight against the daily barrage of change from the Trump administration.  It was a pathetic attempt by people who don’t know their history or understand why America is turning away from all this name-calling control and back toward tradition, to cause the kind of social unrest that the national news would cover and convince people to go in a different political direction.  It’s not working; the Marxist left is trying to portray the Trump administration and his conservative supporters as racist Nazi lovers.  The Nazis were always convenient bad guys as established in our culture, and they were, by European standards, socialists and certainly weren’t freedom-loving patriots of small government as the Tea Party movement emerged, and from that, MAGA, which put Trump in office.  These were people who didn’t know their history and who were trying to take the shame of Nazi imagery and control the public narrative of that ignorance.  There is a lot more going on with the Nazis and the administrative state population control behind the memory of that occult-based military takeover of the world that runs much deeper than modern politics.  The swastika, for instance, is one of the oldest occult symbols in the world and has been seen in just about every culture at a time when people weren’t supposed even to be able to build boats large enough to cross an ocean.  The oldest known swastika in the world so far that we have found has come out of Ukraine, 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, in the village of Mizyn.  So there was a lot more going on with these Evandale Nazis than just some government workers trying to cause a media dispute to stop the Trump administration.  It was older, occult-driven, and much more sinister but every bit as stupid.

I know more about the Marge Schott story than I would otherwise care to.  When in 1996, the owner of the baseball team The Cincinnati Reds at that time, Schott, said during an ESPN interview that “Hitler was good at the beginning, but he just went too far,” a crusade to remove her from society began, and all rational thought went out the window.  A decade before she made these comments, I knew Marge Schott through a guy who claimed to be her grandson so that he could try to date my wife, which was a whole story of its own.  Well, Marge didn’t have any kids, and in those days, I knew many people in Marge Schott’s circle of influence, so I could root the guy out for the fraud he turned out to be.  Not that he was any competition to me, but he certainly wanted my wife, and the best way to show what a deceitful liar he was, was for me to show that he was lying about who he was and connect him to a more extensive network of con artists who were pretending to be connected to powerful, wealthy, Cincinnati families to take advantage of innocent, beautiful young girls in the modeling profession.  Through all this crazy activity, I got to know Marge Schott a bit, and I always felt bad for her after the comments she made were used to essentially destroy her publicly and force the sale of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team to a different owner.  It was a clear early sign of woke behavior in using controversy to make public opinion adhere to a political message meant to control the mass population.  Marge said some things that were her genuine opinion, which were being used to control social politics and status in society in general. 

The truth is that many people supported Adolph Hitler, including the royal family of England.  After World War I, after the Treaty of Versailles, the powers that wanted to form an alliance against sovereign nations tried to use the League of Nations to rally everyone to the cause of globalism, and they went too far with the German people.  And that gave rise to Hitler, and many people followed him as a pushback against the first attempt at globalism, just as many of those same forces have tried to do with modern-day Putin and even Trump.  Not that any of these people are alike, other than they run the countries they come from, but the sticking point is that they all received public support for supporting national sovereignty over globalist trends.  When Hitler went “too far,” as Marge Schott meant, he had moved toward mass extermination of the Jewish people, for a whole list of new bad ideas that came from the power that had gone to his head. 

But what is most concerning about the Nazis and Hitler was how they connected the political party to occult practices.  This is why I have been talking a lot over the years about how much of the occult is wrapped into our modern politics, even to the point where the Elohim who work against God are political assets for modern-day Marxist incursions into an otherwise peaceful, and successful society.  The occult use of ancient symbols, such as swastikas, is an attempt to cover up just how much of a relationship many people in the world try to use from the spirit world to invoke their menace on the face of the earth.  Imagine the Genie from the popular Disney movie Aladdin being able to serve whoever rubs the magic lamp and grant wishes to the master.  To occult practitioners, that is a secret weapon they seek diligently. You find it all over modern political movements, a desire to use occult efforts to get leverage over political opponents, and the Nazis showed success in this alliance. Still, because it all went bad, the nature of that relationship was being pushed underground, so general people wouldn’t make the connection.  That’s when things start falling apart socially; in the past, these types of people have been able to invoke Nazi imagery to steer people toward some emotional catastrophe and manipulate society toward those sentiments rather than reveal their true intentions of occult concealment for mass social control.  I saw this happen up close with Marge Schott more than twenty years ago, and now well-ironed cosplay Nazis were running around Evendale trying to start a race war ahead of Trump closing down The Department of Education.  This trick had worked in the past, but people were growing tired of it because the historical references of swastika use were very shallow in the scheme of things.  The Nazis were only the most recent to use them for a relationship with something much more significant and terrifying, the religions of the world that predated human civilization as we know it today, to a time before the earth began, and the ramifications of that are horrendous to those with shallow intellects.  As I say all the time, look where there is war, such as in Ukraine, with many hidden secrets of the past that are there, and you will find people trying to hide that past through violence and emotional diatribes.  And in the case of the Evendale Nazis, we are seeing terrified radical Marxists trying to use events of the past to conceal the real problem that has been exposed by the light of day.

Controlling Demons to Try to Destroy the Trump Administration: The Lesser Key of Solomon

Among many things, I am an expert on the occult, not a practitioner.  Long before the established religions we have today, there was a cult of planet worshippers who sought the help of supernatural aid frequently, and they had sacrificial cultures designed to appease them.  I don’t even pray to God for myself, let alone conduct magic ceremonies.  I see those types of people as weak and diabolical.  I have written a lot about the evil of Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons, one of the founders of NASA, and they believed in the help of supernatural aid to help them accomplish their desired tasks, and they were often successful.  When you study the Bible, there is a lot of communication with spirits, angels, and demons to help with earthly desires, so we should not assume that all that desire went away. Instead, I would say that the desire to have relationships with entities outside our terrestrial boundaries is as intense as ever.  If you’ve ever been to the Denver International Airport, you will start to get a good sense of it, and as is predictable, Democrat politics has festered into that specific area purposefully.  Like with Aleister Crowley and the Denver Airport, Masonic lodges are part of the story, and of course, with them, we are talking about their reverence for the ancient builders of King Solomon’s Temple, and specifically Hiram Aboff, of Tyre, who was said to be the architect of the famous temple.  And this is where I think we have to think about these supernatural entities when we ask the question about why so many evil things are happening now against the Trump administration, such as terrorist attacks, airplane accidents, and political upheaval.  To understand all those motivations, I think you can look to a simple book such as The Lesser Key of Solomon and remind yourself that many thousands of people turn to books like that in an attempt to conduct the armies of darkness against the forces of good and that many are putting curses on the Trump administration as we speak, to stop him.

This is a very ancient practice passed down over a very long period of time

Speaking of curses, just because someone intends harm on you, even from the spirit world, doesn’t mean they will succeed.  Take me, for example. I am speaking to you after four decades of ill intentions cast upon me by almost every malicious character you can imagine.  So, there are always countermeasures.  And I have studied the world’s occult practices to understand the enemy’s weapons.  But I would never use them myself.  To me, asking for help from anybody or anything is weak.  I don’t even ask for directions to a gas station from GPS.  So witchcraft or practicing magic is off the table.  I see them as just as foolish as ancient practices of demonic appeasement with human sacrifice.  But with all that said, my daughters were traveling recently and found themselves in Salem, Massachusetts, which is covered with reverence for witches and all those who think Harry Potter sorcery are a good idea.  They were in an excellent bookstore filled with books on the occult, so they took a picture and sent me an extensive sampling, asking if I wanted any of them while they were there.  I spotted one that I have had my eye on for a long time: The Lesser Key of Solomon, edited by Joseph H. Peterson.  I have read different versions of that book, allegedly written by King Solomon himself and transferred through time to the present through oral traditions and esoteric references.  So they picked it up for me, and it is quite an interesting book, to say the least.

I am working on a line of thought that I have on the Kofun tombs of Japan and how they connect to the empire of King Solomon.  These tombs are all over Osaka. I have seen them by the hundreds, and I think Solomon’s influence ended there at the Pacific Ocean along the Silk Road in ways that nobody has adequately studied or understood.  In Japan, they communicate with good and evil spirits all the time, on just about every street corner, and they call these spirits kami.  In Islam, they call them jinn.  In Western cultures, we call them angels and demons.  In Japan, it always amazes me how people openly seek to appease these spirits and help them in some way or another with incense and prayer.  So I think The Lesser Key of Solomon is one of the reasons that they built all those kofun tombs in the shape of a keyhole, as a way to lock away the people buried there from the evil menace of a hostile spirit world that might harass them in death.  You might recall, dear reader, that the story goes from the Apocrypha text removed from the Bible called The Testament of Solomon, for which The Lesser Key is an extension, that King Solomon was given by God a ring that could seal away demons and actually employed them to his wishes.  It’s an old take on the Arabian Nights stories of the Genie.  The story goes that Solomon captured all these demons to help him build King Solomon’s temple which is why Master Masons and people were so inclined to seek The Lesser Key of Solomon so that they could also command spirits like King Solomon did to build the temple and conduct his business of an empire that extended far away from ancient Israel.  That’s how Aleister Crowley and many like him from the occult practitioner sciences that predate the Hebrew people by many thousands of years get involved in all this demon worship by trying to command spirits as Solomon did for the perpetuation of some terrestrial cause. 

The critical point to remember here is not the conduct of morality attached to discussions like this but understanding the intent.  There are many people in the world, especially practicing Democrats, who seek supernatural aid to help them achieve some political cause.  And the demon world is hectic trying to grant their requests.  And I can assure everyone that all over Washington D.C., wannabe witches, and occult practitioners are trying to put a curse on everything that the Trump administration tries to touch.  So when we see all the crazy stuff in the news and wonder why so many people are doing so many bad things, it’s not always the CIA conducting some coup attempt or the FBI trying to do the same to keep Kash Patel from becoming their boss.  It goes even deeper than that to why people think what they do and how those thoughts pop into their minds.  To deal with this occult menace, we have to admit that it exists in the first place, which many are reluctant to do.  But when I see the kind of news stories that have been common since Trump was elected, I see occult attempts to stop the political tide that so many desire.  But many scandalous characters are seeking the aid of the spirit world to overthrow our political order with a lot of personal investment.  And I think it will get much worse. Yet that doesn’t mean that all these evil intentions will be successful.  All it does mean is that we must look at where the problems are and see the threats for what they truly are.  And not illusively of their origins.  And fight those fights at the doorstep of the enemy. 

What amazes me about all these images is that they look so much like Indian art, crop circles, and ancient mound construction

‘Conception Begins at Erection’: The rediculous communism of people like Represenative Anita Somani

To understand why the Ohio bill by Anita Somani is so stupid, “Conception Begins at Erection,” you have to understand that flower child Democrats who want the communist world of John Lennon’s “Imagine” are anti-family and have been working to dismantle it as the focus of their political platform from the beginning.  Their basic premise is that sex is their seductive tool to dismantle society and prevent good families from being created at any level.  So they need open, loose sex to perpetuate their intentions of social destruction, which is why they love abortion so much.  For a woman to be equal to a man and to have consequence-free sex, she must have access to abortions.  Nowhere in the Democrat platform does it question whether sex should be practiced at all without the institution of marriage being applied because sex itself is used as a tool of destruction, as introduced by the communists of Europe who migrated to America to bring down their rival generation by generation.  The communists of the hippie movement needed free love, free sex, and a lack of possession of a single-sex partner to usher in their concept of a no-possession world where nobody owned anything, especially each other.  And sex was their tool, a temptation that most human beings care a lot about and feel some urge to practice.  To achieve this hostile act, women needed to have the means to destroy the ramifications of a bad decision, whereas, in a healthy society, they would be gatekeepers of value.  If they didn’t want some scum bag, smelly dude crawling all over them jobless and with no future prospects, who was to judge.  Maybe he had tattoos, and some body piercings, and her dad wouldn’t like him, so in a flight of fancy, the young girl sleeps with the reckless despot.  Only to get pregnant and tied for the rest of her life to the mistake of a bad decision through pregnancy.  To promote further destructive social behavior, the communist left known as the Democrat Party in America needed abortion to implement their means of family destruction.

Anita Somani is one of those radical medical professionals along the lines of people like Ohio’s Amy Acton, the lunatic who shut down the State during Covid, and Dr. Fauci, who is so well known for his disastrous social policies that harmed and killed many millions of people through horrendous healthcare advice.  Too many of these healthcare professionals who have radical communist ideas have shown themselves to be destructive, and that is certainly the case for Representative Anita Somani.  She is an old hippie chick who calls female rights the right to use sex as a torpedo for bad behavior and to destroy family creation through the temptations of loose sexual practice.  Traditionally, a woman might turn away a man who didn’t have their act together for sexual interaction, and she might get pregnant as a result, a mistake that would last the rest of her life; with abortion, those mistakes were promoted.  A woman could set the reset button and try to forget that the error ever happened.  She just might be tempted to make more mistakes, which would further erode the desire to start a family, and instead would enter the workforce and compete with men for jobs and head of household status socially.  Always in the back of their plans, and in the focus of people like the Ohio Democrat Anita Somani, is the notion that all people belong to each other, that children, if produced, belong to the Democrat-controlled state, and that families should be destroyed in favor of a communist commune of social, pot smoking, despots. 

We’re now at a point where this merging of social roles has been vastly accepted, so most people think such talk sounds almost Amish in tradition.  Equality was the priority, and to make women equal to men, they had to be slugs and even reckless.  How else would women be used to be instruments of destruction when traditionally, a man would have to work hard to win the affection of a woman, especially a pretty one?  There is another problem that arises: in such a merit-based system, pretty women have an advantage over those not so attractive, and Democrats couldn’t have that.  That would mean attractive people would merge to have beautiful babies, further causing the problems of equality that Democrats were so obsessed with, making equality impossible until everyone was equally ugly.  So, to further drive home the point of irresponsible behavior, the man-hating culture of Democrats like Anita Somani wants to punish men for bad sexual decisions just because they engage in activity that results in discharging semen without the intent to produce a baby with it.  Ohio isn’t the only place where these kinds of satirical legislative proposals are being introduced.  This is a pro-abortion movement that Democrats think is cute as Trump and Republicans settle in to dismantle everything that progressives have built over the last century.  And Democrats believe this is the way they are going to win people back to their party instead of watching them bleed away and become Republicans.  Anita Somani is so tone-deaf from communist propaganda over the years, the hippie vantage point of sexual utilization to form a borderless world where nobody owns any private property, that she can’t see how dumb this proposal is under any consideration.  People are turning away from this kind of thinking and are very open to more traditional views on sexual relationships because what we have been doing has left a lot of people miserable and unfulfilled.   Several generations of this destructive behavior have alarmed society to the point where they want to make some changes.  They are moving away from people like Anita Somani, not toward them, as might have been the case during the 1970s to 2000s. 

I’ve bumped into Representatives like Anita Somani in Columbus more than I’d like to.  They are all over the place, and when you talk to them, they are as stupid as you’d think.  They have those empty eyes of social propaganda that look at you with a kind of blank stare because they only have one gear of thinking: social destruction disguised as rights and equality.  And they just can’t be reasoned with.  They are so out of touch with people that they think political stunts like this ridiculous bill will rally people to their cause of more man-hating family destruction to perpetuate their communist political platforms.  They don’t understand that the world has been turning away from them for a long time, especially now that Trump is back in office.  People want standards.  There is no higher form of government than the management of individual families.  First comes a family, then comes your community, then your state, then your country.  Only after all other things are taken care of can we worry about the world.  Not the other way around.  When you dig into the lives of people like Anita Somani, you find miserable people with lots of unhappy spouses and kids because they put their efforts into everything but their families and it shows in their homes and careers.  To cover those mistakes, they dig even deeper into communism to disguise their mistakes with social restructuring because if the rules of good conduct are changed, nobody will judge them as losers.  Which, of course, they are, and that is why their political movement is falling apart as it was always destined to do.

It Takes “Big Balls” to Reform Government Efficiency: To have a job, high performance matters

To answer a question that has come up recently from government workers shocked by the DOGE exploits of a 19-year-old young man who is known as “Big Balls,” this debate is already too late to have.  The wasteful practices of the federal government and all the massive amounts of terminations that need to be made to make government much smaller and to push those workers into the growing private sector employment will not be fought in the courts, as many hope.  It will be fought in public relations.  For instance, the poor-performing government workers at USAID will not be able to hide behind polite society and continue to underperform for the American taxpayer without exposure any longer.  I’ve been warning about this day for decades, and here it is.  Everyone was told, and they chose not to listen.  So, don’t be surprised when some wiz kid that Elon Musk hired right out of high school can come in and eliminate many government jobs with the push of a button on a laptop.  Nobody in the world is better at finding overachieving engagement from employees than Elon Musk right now; he has been very successful at finding those types of people at Tesla, SpaceX, and just about everything else he has touched.  And, of course, we see the same practices from people like this: Edward Coristine, the young man who has the world melting down as he calls himself “Big Balls.”  Well, it takes a lot of guts to step into a very corrosive work culture with the power of government behind it and tell them all that they are worthless and that they need to go.  They have been underperforming, and in the case of USAID, the Pentagon, and many other places that DOGE will be analyzing for President Trump, if you want to be great as a nation or at anything, you can’t accept underperformance.  There must be standards that define winning, and employees must meet or exceed those standards.  But coming up short was never going to be acceptable.

I’m not surprised that Musk has hired many bright-eyed young people to perform these analysis jobs, such as in the case of Edward Coristine.  I know many young people like this “Big Balls” kid.  They remind me of the old hot rod culture we used to have in America, where kids coming of age to drive could get their hands on an old car and hot rod it up so they could race on the weekends.  That kind of car culture has been taken away from kids so they have turned to computer coding.  Getting computers to do things better and faster than stock options right out of the store is what many kids like Big Balls spend all their time thinking about.  Elon Musk has given those kinds of kids homes in his companies.  They can take their passion and put it to good use right out of high school.  So, they end up with a pure view of the world that makes things easy to see.  Edward Coristine has an advantage as a young person who has not yet learned to fail.  Many people who have failed a lot in life seek a government job to hide those failures even from themselves, and they hope all their lives that nobody notices.  So, government employment has become a joke over time, and nobody feels confident in criticizing it because the power of the government might crush them for doing so.  I’ve been through all that myself, where I have been very critical of the government and have seen its wrath firsthand.  Not that it did them any good.  But I can see why Musk has people like Big Balls on his team.  It takes a person who has not lived long enough to accept failure sometimes and the ambition to change the world without learning to hold back so as not to hurt other people’s feelings to walk into a roomful of government employees and tell them they are all worthless and could be removed immediately and all their jobs could be done in the corner of the room with one guy and a second-hand laptop.  It takes Big Balls to be that honest.

I have received a lot of hate mail these last few weeks, much more than usual, which is usually quite a lot.  But the hate comes in the form of an almost mirror mirror on the wall complex where they are trying to convince themselves of their point more than me.  They think government jobs are protected and the courts will protect them from the realities of performance measures, a standard labor union fantasy.  Through mass collectivism, they can be insulated from the rigors of reality.  But of course, I say to them, generally politely, that these fights won’t be conducted in the corrupt courts, but in the realm of public opinion.  The next time we get to a government shutdown, for instance, and Congress has to vote for more appropriations, how are they going to do that when it is a PR nightmare now that people know how useless a lot of these government workers are?  They aren’t worth the money wasted on them, and the fear of continued services lost because those employees aren’t there will be removed. 

The low-engagement people will lose whenever you have a high-engagement culture fighting against a low-engagement culture.  You can’t fight against people who work 7 days a week, 24 hours a day because they love their job with people who barely work 8 hours per day, 5 days a week, even if they still report to the office, which many of them have been working from home.  Those low-engagement people will get slaughtered in the process, which DOGE brings to the table.  Not just in the one young man, Big Balls, but in many like him.  And behind him is a vast army of like-minded people who don’t want some stuffy adult government worker culture holding back their future from them.  They have more than a few reasons to be angry about how they approach their job of performance revolution.  If people are going to be in a government job, we always expect performance.  Not to hide behind some social constructs like a worthless college degree in basket weaving so that they could get into one of these government union jobs and sit on their butts for the next thirty years until they retire with a ridiculous benefits package for essentially doing nothing that whole time.  Those days are over and have been for many years.  But it’s catching up now because it took people like Big Balls to expose how useless those government workers were.  They need to be removed from that comfortable, expensive position and put into the private sector, where they must compete for a job every day.  And if they fail there, it is because in competition, they didn’t make the team.  If you want a great country and economy, you have to make it so that the people doing the work are the best.  And those who don’t work so hard are not just sitting around milking the system from the taxpayers who worked so hard to provide the funds.  Regarding Big Balls and the kind of people Elon Musk typically surrounds himself with, they are not losers who have learned from society to lose.  They are rebelling against that premise, which I think is fantastic.  This is why I have been a fan of Musk for a long time.  And I love what he is doing with DOGE.  We don’t want losers doing these government jobs; we want winners.  And the best way to do that is to put people in place to analyze these jobs who have not yet learned to lose.  Big Balls has yet to learn how to lose, much to his credit.  And we need in the world a lot more people like him.
