Its Just Another Communist Trick: Vote No on Issue 1 in Ohio

Probably the most asked question I get is on Issue 1 in Ohio during 2024, the gerrymandering issue proposed by a group called Citizens Not Politicians.  I haven’t heard anybody from any side on that Ohio Constitutional Amendment adequately explain what Issue 1 is.  Maybe they don’t know or are afraid to say it because they might incite inflammatory rhetoric.  I’ve heard countless hours of proposals advocating for Issue 1 and against it, and I suspect that the Citizens Not Politicians group themselves don’t understand what role they are playing in the attempted destruction of America.  People who favor Issue 1 in Ohio during 2024 are the same kind of people who supported the legalization of pot last year and who supported drive-through window abortions after Roe v. Wade went down in flames at the federal level, so that should tell you all you need to know.  However, there is some menacing intent behind Issue 1 that everyone should be talking about, and that is the communist intentions of the proposal, which essentially states that corrupt politicians are gerrymandering electoral constituency to favor one party over the other.  And that this Issue One proposal will make everything more fair in the future.  The accusation is that once they gain power, politicians can keep power by manipulating congressional districts and other boundaries on a map to favor a powerful party. And in Ohio, Republicans have super majorities that don’t look to change anytime soon.  Democrats just aren’t very well-liked in Ohio, and it has nothing to do with gerrymandering, but that they are a terrible party that does not represent what people want.  So the gerrymandering has turned out to be an excuse for the rejection of Democrats in Ohio, and the hope is that if they can redraw some of the districts, more Democrats might have a chance to get into political office. 

So when I say that this whole process is a communist scheme, I mean it in that it’s the philosophy of Karl Marx that has given birth to it, even if the perpetrators have no idea what’s going on. Making things “fairer” sounds nice. After all, we can’t trust those pesky politicians. They are the evil bourgeoise, an aristocratic class of our betters who do everything out of greed and malice.  But in truth, what the Citizens Not Politicians group is proposing is to attack our style of government itself and replace it with another committee of worthless bureaucrats to make decisions about congressional districts under a mask of fairness, but an intention of eroding our representative government in its essential design.  We already have a system that does what they propose to do: elections.  And they are blaming Republicans for the lack of Democrats in elected positions because people don’t want what the Democrats are offering.  But to avoid that issue, the Citizens Not Politicians are offering a 15-member committee of 5 Democrats, 5 Republicans, and 5 Independents to make the decisions our elected representatives should be making.   And, of course, when they try to make it appear fair by including Republicans, they aren’t talking about MAGA Republicans, as the trend is pointing, but Liz Cheney types and soft-shelled tacos like John Kasich.  What is being proposed by Issue 1 is ridiculous and a blatant attempt to change our representative style of government to benefit insurgent personalities who can use just another worthless committee to weaken our constitutions at the state and federal levels. 

I will vote no on Issue 1 in Ohio.  You must always be suspicious of any government activity that proposes more government to solve the problem, and in this case, why would we add 15 more people to perform a task that our elected representatives were elected to perform because we can’t trust them to do the job?  If you don’t like the job your politicians are doing for you, then vote them out of office.  But look here what is really behind this gerrymandering strategy. In that case, the real issue is a political platform that people rejected with their vote, which is how Republicans got so much power in the statehouse to begin with.  That is the nature of politics: to gain and stay in control.  Democrats are looking for a way to erode that power without trying to win over voters to their terrible position.  So that is what is behind Issue 1 and the intentions of Citizens Not Politicians, who publicly state that they are bipartisan.  When, in fact, their intentions are straight from the pages of Karl Marx and would be more suited in communist China than in a freedom-loving America.  When the word “fairness” gets tossed around, it is always the word “communism” because, essentially, it’s the same trick they use in China to sell communism to the public, such as in “The People’s Republic of China” where it is stated that communism is for the people, not those craving centralized government.  In the case of Ohio, the goal is to weaken our representative government and put people in charge under the mask of fairness to erode the power that people have elected into place because of their preferred Republican policies over Democrat monstrosities.  The desire for government to grow is the entire point of Issue 1 in Ohio and to weaken our constitution along the way.

I hate to be that guy who is pointing out communism these days behind every darkened hallway, but that’s what it is.  Chinese communism is the strategy of the globalist world, and it is intended for every corner of the globe.  And because it’s a big no, no word in America, they disguise it with names like Citizens Not Politicians, to make it sound like something else.  But what it is is garbage, maliciousness, and an attack against our constitutional republic and representative government as it was intended.  If people want to win more seats, then win more honest elections and stop trying to rig them in all kinds of ways to put communists in power in ways that the elected government would prevent.  For the bad guys, it’s far easier to control five Republicans on a committee than the randomness of hundreds of politicians who are always coming and going.  The Citizens Not Politicians group wants to put the gerrymandering issue into the same approach we have on our state school boards, and we’ve seen what a failure that has been.  What Issue 1 offers is just as stupid.  But what’s worse is their intent and willingness to lie to themselves and everyone else about what they want.  They are crying for communism and a big nanny state where the government becomes the parental role of society.  The message here is that those mean, greedy politicians are out of control, and the “people” need to take back control over them with another worthless committee.  Ignoring that we elect those politicians in the first place, why do we need another committee?  See the problem?  And the intention.  All communist insurrections start this way by making it sound like “the people” are taking back their government from the greedy politicians of the aristocracy.  And some people are too stupid to know better.  But we set up our government with this whole decentralization of government in mind, where elected representatives “represent” the people.  And that is the trick at play here; the bad guys are pretending to represent the people when the people were always in control.  And they picked Republican supermajorities.  And Democrats have no answer, so they are supporting Issue 1 to erode our constitutional system, which is yet another grab for power and an expansion of government toward perpetual ineffectiveness so that people eventually will give up on it altogether and fall to the whims of communism and the skirts of a jealous, government mother.

A DARPA Weapon Hitting Trump Zones: Would the government want to kill innocent people–the evidence says yes

I’ve seen what a category 3 or 4 hurricane can do inland, a hundred miles or so from where they hit. One of my many job experiences was working as a clean-up person when Hurricane Fran destroyed Wilmington, North Carolina. I flew into Raleigh, Durham, and the University of North Carolina to clean everything up.  I personally love Tampa Bay.  I love the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the city quite a lot.  My wife and I have great memories there.  And a direct hit by a hurricane like what Hurricane Milton is poising to do is just terrible.  Now, I’m not typically skeptical of hurricanes.  But I am of this one, Milton.  The way it went from an obscure tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico and quickly jumped up to a category 5 in a very short time to travel east from a west position is highly unusual and has prompted a lot of people to wonder if this particular hurricane, as well as the previous one that just hit Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, is a DARPA weapon, I have to reply that I think there is a lot of evidence to that suspicion.  Our first act is to investigate the DARPA program and see if we don’t have there, as we have discovered at the head of the FBI, a lot of anti-Trump activists who have their hands on such a terrible weapon and would use it to punish people they know will be Trump voters.  There would be no greater election tampering than to frustrate potential voters and completely wipe out their infrastructure and their homes in general.  And that is what looks to be happening in Tampa.  Kamala Harris will not do well along the coast of Florida; those are Trump voters.  And three weeks before the election, they will be wiped out.  I’ve seen too much in life to think that these are all coincidences. 

So, let’s prioritize answering the first question. With cloud seeding technology, could DARPA or some other scandalous government enterprise create hurricanes to level 5? I would say yes.  Hurricanes traditionally come from the coast of Africa and, under certain conditions, form hurricanes just as they have for thousands of years.  But maybe over the last 20 years, especially the last 10, plenty of technology could agitate those hurricane conditions when they are forming under human control of their growth.  It takes a lot of energy to make a hurricane, but if you’ve ever made a whirlpool in an above-ground circular pool, you have seen how manipulating the flow of the water quickly can multiply the force into a massive effort.  By heating elements of the upper atmosphere where hurricane conditions are close, warm water in the gulf and cool nights in the atmosphere, hurricane conditions should be able to be manufactured with a push by human hands.  To me, this one, Milton, looks like the election fraud of 2020.  It was made by desperate people motivated by politics to punish an area that is poised to vote for Trump ahead of an election that is quickly getting away from Kamala Harris.  If you study the weather for an extended period, these two hurricanes that have hit so close to each other in Florida look politically motivated and not a natural disaster.  But how can we say such a thing?  The evidence says we should consider such a terrible thing a reality.  And by the way, the government reacted to Hurricane Helena destroying so much Trump country and wiping out Ashville, North Carolina, with the complete lack of FEMA support, something very fishy has been emerging. 

It sounds like science fiction, but we must be cautious of a government that builds technology under a cloak of secrecy and then uses it to drive political motivations.  And I’m not talking about hurricanes now; I’m referring to COVID-19, created in a lab in Wuhan, China, for a bioweapon made for globalism and unleashed in an election year to impact global politics.  We know that was the case because the evidence has been uncovered, and people are still trying to wrap their minds around such an evil intention.  Could people work in our government, at the DOD precisely, and with Dr. Fauci knowing all about it and Bill Gates being involved who wants a zero energy world, would they kill people with a purposeful bioweapon?  And the answer is yes.  They did.  COVID-19 is a case that still needs to be prosecuted for what many people did to purposefully kill people for political reasons of control over mass populations.  Most of the people involved are radical communists, socialists, and American globalists trying to tip the scales of the economy toward a Great Reset by the World Economic Forum, governed by the United Nations.  And while that might sound like the plot of some menace from Atlas Shrugged or the main villain in the first Star Wars movie, it’s a real thing that was so vastly evil that it has remained hidden from people who can’t imagine anybody being that terrible.  But that is part of the disguise.  The only reason that Covid has not yet been prosecuted is because people just can’t imagine that humans could make such a thing to kill other humans.  And that any part of a government would be that malicious. 

But then you see how the government reacted with FEMA in a known Bible Belt town of west North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee where the people are Trump-supporting Appolacians.  FEMA didn’t rush to rescue anybody when hit by a devastating hurricane.  And Kamala Harris was slow to make a campaign stop, which was bizarre behavior for a state she supposedly wants to win.  We saw from the Biden administration a strange disconnect on one of the most devastating tragedies in modern times.  And the government was happy to let people rot without services for maximum impact.  And then things start adding up.  And on the heels of all that, another hurricane was brewed up in the Gulf and sent to one of the country’s most populated and economically prosperous areas, Tampa Bay, Disney World in Orlando, and the space coast between Cocoa Beach and Daytona Beach.  So when asked if I think DARPA could be behind these hurricanes, I think it’s very possible.  We certainly know that the intent to harm Trump regions is there and that radicals in government with their hands on such weapons, as with Covid, will use those weapons for political reasons if they kill a lot of people and cause billions of dollars in damages.  They certainly didn’t care. When COVID was unleashed, the global economy was shut down, and millions of people died from the gain of function virus that was made to transmit from animals to humans artificially.  The same could be said of hurricanes; they exist but can be tampered with to be made worse and to act purposefully rather than randomly.  And that these devastating occurrences are more than accidental.  They are purposeful and yet more evidence of a government that has become weaponized and dangerous.  This Hurricane Milton is, for many, a loss much more significant than the damage it will do.  It has irreparably damaged people’s trust in these fields of science, which are only exacerbated by the vast disappointments left in the wake of COVID-19.  But that is what we are dealing with in these people.  These are truly evil people, and they cannot have access to these kinds of weapons.  Because they are in political turmoil, they will use them to attempt to change the world or punish those standing in their way.  And no matter what damage it causes, they don’t care.  And before we do any cleanup in Florida in the wake of these storms, we should investigate DARPA and their affiliates for whatever actions were taken ahead of these storms and deal with the true menace as the root cause.

The FAA Has Held Up SpaceX Too Long: Government is holding the human race back from going to Mars

Just a little memo for everyone out there, especially those who thought compliance with government authority was going to be the future trend, they were wrong.  I’ve listened to complete idiots tell me for more than two decades now that compliance with government authority was only going to increase year by year, and I have argued with them to the contrary.  COVID destroyed people’s tolerance for government pinheads forever.  Government power had been abused, and people were finally pushed too far.  And that’s why Elon Musk was on stage with President Trump in Pennsylvania, cheerleading on a Republican administration that promises to cut down on government red tape dramatically.  Musk is not a Republican or a conservative.  However, the FAA process denying him approved applications for his next space flights for Starship 5 has pushed him into Trump’s corner.  Just as they have with many Democrats who have now crossed over and joined supporting Trump, a common theme has emerged.  The government has become too big and has all the wrong values, and people are tired of interrupting their lives needlessly.  That is certainly the case with Elon Musk, who has to file a lot of permits for the launch of each of his Starships which he is working through his company, SpaceX, to prove the landing of the largest vehicle to ever enter space and return to earth.  What the Starship 5 mission proves to do is re-land the Super Heavy Booster rocket back at Boca Chica with their chopstick system.  From there, refueling and reentry into space will become a common occurrence.  But first, SpaceX has to stick the landing of the Superheavy rocket to prove the whole capture system works.  So, there is a lot of urgency to increase the innovation rate to meet the missions’ needs because Starship is a key to NASA’s programs of returning to the moon, and this application process with the government is holding everything up needlessly. 

To make matters worse, and to my point, you can’t put the heads of lazy people in compliance authority to the genuinely heroic efforts of manufacturing.  It was never a math problem that would work, and Elon Musk has tried to play nice his whole life.  And the Federal Aviation Association did pretty well with SpaceX until the second part of 2024 when Elon Musk formally endorsed Trump for president.  Two iconic photos tell the complete story of the 2024 election cycle and precisely, this problem.  The first is the attempted assassination of President Trump, where he is pumping his fist in the air with blood running down his face after just being shot in the head.  Within moments of that picture hitting the public, Elon Musk formally endorsed President Trump for president, stepping away from years of supporting Democrats such as Joe Biden and Barack Obama.  Elon Musk is hardly a conservative.  But then again, neither is President Trump traditionally.  But what they all have in common is the difficulty in dealing with government bureaucracy where entire groups of worthless people get mall cop authority over the titans of industry with the stroke of a pen.  From there, the FAA stopped approving Musk’s applications for SpaceX flights, as if to punish him for supporting President Trump in any fashion.  It all essentially started with that photo of Trump right after the assassination attempt, which has backfired massively in the intention of getting rid of Trump.  Instead, it solidified him into the world’s consciousness in ways no political campaign could have done otherwise. 

The other photo to come out of all this is when Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, to finish what he started, which was interrupted by that assassination attempt.  This time, Elon Musk came on stage to speak on behalf of President Trump.   And Trump was in the picture standing at the podium calm and resolute, in the same spot where an assassin’s bullet had narrowly missed him just a few months earlier.  And there he was, standing boldly to the possibility of death.  Elon Musk, the wealthiest man in the world and one of the smartest who has declared himself to the task of carrying human civilization to space to colonize other planets, was jumping around on the stage like a little kid, excited about being there.  The picture that was instantly famous is of Musk jumping in the air with joy at the prospect of Trump winning and deregulating his industry to the point where it has crippled his efforts in a way government pinheads only can.  The joy is evident on Elon Musk’s face, the empowerment of taking back the government from the hands of the truly terrible, the people who are worthless in life and have only defined themselves as demanding that good people adhere to some government mob. Otherwise, punishment will follow.  If you look across the world, especially across the regulatory industry, this communist push to make centralized government appeased has gone too far.  And now there was proof that even the friendly and compliant Elon Musk would be punished if he didn’t support the tyrannical mob in government to the point that they would stonewall the permit process for his life’s work.  That is why you can never give the government too much power over you; they always abuse it.

We’re not talking about making the world unsafe.  There will always be a need for the government to provide some regulatory bumpers to hazardous conduct.  However, the lesson everyone has had to learn is that capitalist practices are a far better regulator than government pinheads.  Market conditions are far more potent because failure has a more significant impact than some regulatory committees.  The case of the FAA holding up the next Starship flight has to do with concerns over the water system used for fire suppression having an environmental impact on the local wildlife.  People have had it with this EPA argument.  The earth serves humanity’s needs, not limit them to appeasement like a bunch of primitives sitting around a campfire throwing sticks at every noise in the dark.  And that is what the government has been offering with its ridiculous rules centered around EPA concerns, which has just turned out to be a cover story for outright communism.  And the mob mentality of the government these days who put their political opponents in jail and deny permits as punishment to those who don’t support them politically.  Over the last four years, Biden has pushed too far and tyrannically, and his relationship with a former supporter, Elon Musk, has shattered.  Musk was so happy about the revelation that he was glad to be on stage with Trump and put his entire support behind electing the President back into office so that he could get his company, SpaceX, moving again and not sitting around like a bunch of idiots waiting for the FAA to approve their launch application.  If the permit process for these launches takes more than a few hours, it’s too long.  And that holds in every industry.  More compliance to senseless mobs of government power is not the wave of the future—quite the opposite.  When Trump wins, he will put Musk in charge of improving the government’s work, including the ridiculous permit process holding SpaceX back.  Elon Musk will finally be able to solve that problem directly.  And he is jumping for joy, literally.  And who will there be to blame in the end, the government that pushed too much and too far to advance tyranny and compliance to a bunch of worthless people who should have never been part of the process, to begin with?  They will only be able to blame themselves for what they did.

‘The Art of Survival’: Winning as Americans

After the last election, I knew that people were scared and needed a voice through the darkness.  And I can write and talk even under the worst circumstances.  So, every day since that stolen election in 2020, where Biden was inserted to push out Trump with an obviously government-sponsored coup, I have written an article every day and filmed a video to go with them, and many millions of people have directly benefited.  If you have been paying attention, if you listen to a lot of talk radio on AM stations all over the country, podcasts, and cable news segments, it’s pretty normal for them to pluck ideas off my blog postings, which many influencers watch every day.  They need content, too.  I have been writing these blogs for many years, and I have put up an article every day, now for over 14 years, since 2010.  It was so successful that since about 2014, I just stopped doing personal interviews as a guest on radio and television; I just put my energy into being a content creator with my eye on providing a voice of reason to producers looking to fill airwaves with material that could help America get going again because the bad guys out there were playing for blood.  I thought about quitting the daily articles a few times during Trump’s first term.  But after he was removed from office, I doubled down to do everything I could in the background to keep the roots of our republic healthy because people, even the strongest people, have needed it.  But now that it’s coming to an end, now what?  I’m not sure, but I aim to do everything I can to help win this election, especially for Trump.  So, I have been reminiscing a lot lately and going back through all the Trump books I have read over the years, which inspired me to support Trump in the first place.  As I was watching Trump return to Butler, Pennsylvania, for a rally after the assassination attempt was applied to him there, I kept thinking of a much more little-known book of his called The Art of Survival, which is one of my favorites.  And I think many of you would enjoy it right now.  Because America is about to knock out its rivals, foreign and domestic, and a new day is dawning for us, it’s important that everyone understand what’s happening.

When The Art of the Deal happened, Trump was at the top of his industry, a very successful businessman, and he had crossed over to become one of the biggest celebrities in the world.  However, the wheels came off shortly after that book published in 1987.  After Reagan left office, the economy tanked.  I was so mad at George Bush Sr. as a 19-year-old kid that I began a crusade looking for a replacement, putting me in the Ross Perot house with his daughters on adventures that would fill several books themselves.  Along the way, I met people like Rob Portman, who I set up on a big town hall debate on WLW radio that helped him win his first congressional seat.  I did many other things to help, too, which could be an entire book of success similar to Trump’s writing about his life experiences.  But during this period, the wheels came off in life for many people.  Me included.  Trump lost his first wife, he lost several businesses, and he was looking like he was going to be bankrupt and broke for the rest of his life.  Later, in 1997, he wrote The Art of the Comeback, which I have said is the playbook for this second Trump term and an essential book that describes how he went from being many millions of dollars in debt, much poorer than a typical homeless person, and climbed back on top to become one of the world’s wealthiest people.  There was a book called The Art of Survival that was infinitely fascinating, and I saw that attitude fresh and again on the stage at that Butler Rally, and with the musical contributions of Christopher Macchio, which were just jaw-dropping fantastic.  Stunning!

Trump didn’t need to write another book or open a door to his personal life while everything was falling around him during this period.  But The Art of Survival is such a marvelous book about perseverance that even in his darkest hour, he wanted to help people pull themselves up when they were down and be better people.  It inspired me during that period to keep fighting, and fighting, and fighting, which I have always done in my life, too, including writing these articles every day, even when I don’t feel like it.  Because I see the hits I get on all this stuff, and hundreds of thousands of people per week consume my material daily.  And over a month, millions.  That’s a lot of people looking for a light in the dark.  And Trump always felt responsible for being that cheerful voice, even when it wasn’t good for him.  You can make some money with books, but not a lot.  So he didn’t write that Art of Survival for himself; he wrote it for people who look to him for leadership. 

Essentially, The Art of Survival is a lesson on why “The Eye of the Tiger” from Rocky III is an essential song for the American consciousness.  One of the prominent features in that book that was devastating for Trump was the fight of Mike Tyson losing to Buster Douglas.  It was devastating to Trump, who was getting into the business of promoting the young Tyson as he looked to be invincible.  And now he was a loser, and it hurt Trump.  I would say that out of everything that was happening badly to Trump during this period, Mike Tyson’s loss to Buster Douglas was the worst because of the psychology involved in winners becoming losers.  But Tyson would fight again and win most of his fights.  Trump would claw himself back from devastation and marry one of the most beautiful women in the world, and they would live a good life in a golden palace overlooking Central Park in New York.  Trump would become more successful than he achieved in the 80s under President Reagan.  As an older man who had seen the worst that the world could throw at him many times over by a powerful and corrupt government to keep him from running for president once again, he was there in Butler, Pennsylvania, as a champion of the world, and he was spiking the football in a much-deserved way.  That power of positive thinking caught the ear of the wealthiest person in the world, Elon Musk, who was excited and very boyish in his enthusiasm for supporting a second Trump term.  And I thought of that book.  If you can get a copy, you might want to read it because we live in an exciting moment in history, and I think you will find in The Art of Survival the critical ingredient for what comes next, and we will all enjoy it quite a lot.

6 Out of 10 Employers Want to Fire Their Gen Z Employees: If you want good productivity, you have to think out of the box

I wouldn’t just say I love foreign people from other places; I don’t think that tells the whole story.  I love people who like to work hard.  I work hard; I always have.  I love good work and people who want to do it.  I don’t care what their skin color is or their sex; if they like hard work, I will likely have something in common with them.  Even political differences aren’t so different if I feel the person I am talking to is a hard worker.  It just so happens that people from other places work harder than Americans.  And this isn’t something recent for me.  My kids are from the Gen Z generation, and I was so upset about their dating choices when they were teenagers that I encouraged them to date boys from places that still worked hard.  To me, it is reprehensible to be lazy.  I hate lazy people.  But I love hard-working, polite people, and that is how my oldest daughter managed to marry a young man from Canterberry, England.  Going to their house in Liberty Township these days is a real pleasure for me because I get to see the benefits of a couple of people who work hard together.  The results are obvious.  But to say the least, I understand what 6 out of 10 employers say when they indicate they would like to fire their Gen Z employees because they are too lazy and pretentious.  If we want to Make America Great Again, we must start by making Americans want to work again.  Because for many reasons, especially Gen Z, they have been poisoned as children into growing up and becoming problematic as employees.  And so much so that they threaten our current national security.

Not that all Gen Z types are wrong, but most of them are victims of a terrible public education system and college experience that was not academically inclined.  Most education produced in the United States these days has been infected with radical leftist politics.  That doesn’t mean that kids will all be corrupted.  If a kid comes from a good family, that might mitigate some of the impact.  But for children from broken homes or homes where the parents are just stupid, many of the kids from the Gen Z generation don’t have a chance.  I watched this problem start brewing while my kids were growing up.  Now, my wife and I were fantastic parents.  Kids always find something to complain about, but to a large degree, we kept the infection of social conformity from ruining their minds while they were growing up.  They turned out to be pretty good kids with sharp minds and intellect.  But it has been challenging for them to deal with other people from their generation who are just too lazy and pretentious to have a decent relationship.  It’s not just about dating and marrying different people but about having basic social interactions.  Gen Z, in my eyes, are the poor victims of a global menace rooted in globalism that intentionally poisoned American youth in detrimental ways to cripple our economic engine.  Like many things I have been pointing out going into 2025, every kind of attack that could be imagined upon the intellect of the average American youth has been let loose, and their poor, miserable lives show it for the sad tragedy that it is. 

My advice to the employers out there who are looking for labor for their enterprises is that you can find Gen Z employees who will do a good job.  But don’t just look in their direction.  I would say that many of the foreign immigrants who are legally trying to be a part of the American way of life will do a far better job than the kids coming out of American high schools and colleges these days.  It’s not about cheap labor that foreign employees have the most significant benefit.  If everyone is paid the same and fairly, the foreign employees, compared to the domestic ones, will far outperform expectations.  That is because foreign employees usually have a better family structure behind them, which leads to healthy living.  When people know family members love them, they tend to be less insecure in their relationships, even with co-workers.  So, when hiring new workers, one qualifying characteristic is family life.  If a potential employee can at least have a healthy family relationship, they are inclined to work well with a team of co-workers.  Gen Z in America were trained to grow up and be political weapons.  They were taught to be activists toward leftist, communist causes, like climate change, or to rally against toxic masculinity, and to toss young women into sexual deviancy to destroy their ability to raise proper American families.  I had several people this week ask me why I like to work with so many people from all over the world, and my reply to them was that they reminded me of the work ethic my grandparents had.  But I have very little personal respect for the slack-jawed losers of the subsequent generations, including the baby boomers from my parent’s generation.  The mess started with them.  But Gen Z is just ridiculous.

No wonder our federal government costs so much; they hire anybody with a pulse and turn them loose with high-cost burdens to do very little work.  And that trend is why so many employers are looking to dump their Gen Z employees wherever possible and replace them with automation.  I’ve worked with many Gen Z kids over the years, and out of every 100, I can usually get two or three of them to do good in the world.  The rest are just disasters.  It’s not like I haven’t tried, but if people don’t have the basics, a stable family life with parents and grandparents who have set them with a proper foundation of thought, the chances at success in life are scarce for anybody, especially Gen Z that has had just about everything placed against them from the start.  Bad families, horrible education, detrimental entertainment options, terrible diet, faulty philosophy, and confusing religious assumptions, everything about Gen Z has political radicalism in it, so to grow up to be helpful in anything is a far cry.  That doesn’t mean that we should stop trying with these kids.  I certainly do.  But 98 times out of 100, you will be disappointed by the results.  To cover what you need, we will have to look to people from other places where the foundations of family are much better.  When I travel to Japan, I am constantly reminded that success starts with the family structure.  They love their kids in Japan much better than in the United States or Europe.  And much of that comes from radical left politics that has sought in America to destroy the family structure for military reasons.  So, there is no quick fix to it.  Japan is largely successful because it raises children in somewhat healthy family structures.  And success follows those types of people accordingly.  But you can’t, as an employer, hire some slug from Gen Z and expect productivity to be good.  If you want good things to happen in your companies, you must hire good people; Gen Z doesn’t have them.  Maybe the next generation who grew up in the Trump years will be better.  But as of now, it’s not a surprise that so many employers are disappointed with the Gen Z generation and are trying to figure out how to get decent employees from them.  And to tell the truth, if you want good employees, you’ll have to think outside the box.  Because regarding Gen Z, what’s in the box is mostly garbage and frustration.

Why ‘The View’ Hates Melania Trump: Making American Great Again by making woman beautiful again

Typically, there are natural rules, and if you are a slack-jawed loser, you likely won’t have a good-looking woman on your arm at social engagements.  But women on The View are ordinary and easy to get and they tend to get the lazy, useless men who don’t put a lot into their efforts. Most always loser men have an ugly woman like Whoopi Goldberg or Joy Behar as wives, which is why they are all so angry all the time.  Ugly women do not get the same advantages in life, the same access to high-quality, attractive men.  So secretly, deep down inside, the hatred of Melania Trump for marrying President Trump back when he was just a very successful real estate mogul is due purely to looks and physical appearance.  And you can hear that hatred in the voices of the people who talk about Melania Trump.  But it’s not Melania’s fault that she is beautiful or that she was a successful fashion model well before she ever met Donald Trump.  It doesn’t matter about the superficial elements of a marriage, where someone like Donald Trump wanted a beautiful woman to hang on his arm to show sexual domination over rival males; it is just a fact of life.  Nor did it matter that Melania offered herself up in such a fashion so that she could live in a golden palace overlooking Central Park in New York.  Watching Donald and Melania Trump over the years, and meeting them a few times, I have watched them grow together in ways that long marriages tend to, where personal looks and sexuality become much less important over time.  Initially, however, it is everything in life. Successful men need to let rivals know of their sexual prowess by being seen in public with the best-looking women. It is up to the most beautiful women to force a society of degenerate males to step up their game and be the best version of themselves that they can be so that a gorgeous woman might give them the time of day. Attractive women have and always will make the world a better place by making men perform better to live in it.

But Melania Trump is more than just another pretty face.  She is a classy and sophisticated woman too, someone who has deep thoughts about things and for brain-dead slugs who look like used-up toilet paper, like the women who are typically on The View, or as I say about school levy supporters who are much the same, and whom I say often have asses the size of car tires and diamond rings to match as Latte Sipping Prostitutes, ugly people tend to turn toward socialism to try to use powerful central governments to make the world more fair and much less competitive because the last thing they want is to be in a room and have someone like Melania Trump come into it and steal away their husbands, which is as good as they are ever going to get.  But once Melania Trump opens her mouth and starts talking in one of her five languages, any hopes of competition with her fly out the window, so all these other women over the last several years since Trump was in office picked on Melania relentlessly out of frustration because they can’t compete with her on any front. Intelligent women are just too much for women who are short on resources, and let’s face it, that’s most of the human population.  It’s not fair to Melania to have been treated as she has just because she’s beautiful.  But changing the way the human race deals with each other won’t be altered overnight.  It will take many thousands of additional years, and likely the ability to become multi-planetary, where fundamental values about success and sexual customs change over time.

When you think of beautiful women, not all are criticized on The View.  Heidi Klum is an interesting case because she is also a former supermodel, even more successful than Melania.  But she is very popular with other women, so why is that?  Well, Heidi takes her clothes off a lot as one of the hosts of America’s Got Talent, but she doesn’t do it in a sexy way; she does much of her nudity in a music festival mosh pit kind of way that makes all the derelicts of the world feel like she is downplaying her looks for their benefit.  And with all her beauty, she is married to a much younger man; the current guy is kind of a beta male guitarist who writes songs that lets other women know that Heidi isn’t looking to steal away their husbands because she is attached to a douchebag just like they are.  Not somebody who thinks his stuff doesn’t stink, who is very competitive like Trump, and puts his woman in a golden palace in New York society to live in or to reside in the summers in Mar-a-Lago.  Heidi Klum sells herself to the public as a typical party girl, and other women who have debased themselves over the years with public intoxication and various states of passed-out undress see her as one of the girls.  But Melania is their worst nightmare because instead of growing older and more compromised, Melania still has an outward projection of herself that has turned inward toward her privacy instead of letting down her guard to be one of the droopy slugs in life like Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar.

All this has come about because Melania Trump is becoming more present in President Trump’s campaign with the release of her new book, Melania.  She took a few years off to raise her son as a stay-at-home mom, which has ticked off the women of The View.  Again, I have very personal experience with this.  My mom was a stay-at-home mom and was deeply ridiculed by other women for it.  My wife’s whole life has been as a stay-at-home mom, and she experienced very harsh treatment from other women for her decisions to stay home and not be part of the feminist movement.  I have never put her in a position to commit herself to a boss and work outside the home.  And my two daughters have the same expectations and are currently stay-at-home moms.  They have their own businesses, but their lives center around their children as their primary focus.  Beyond looks, other women who are not as committed to their children or would like to be hate other women who are.  And when I say “hate,” I think there needs to be a stronger word.  So Melania, as a former supermodel married to a billionaire and having very high standards in life, who stayed home with her son to teach him the traditional way is detrimental to the life choices of below-the-line thinkers, who trend toward socialism as a management of the public.  But many people are reluctant to admit that the roles women have played in our society have been wrong, and they want Melania’s message.  This is coming about just in time to melt the faces of The View and the old Oprah crowd, and for all the right reasons.  It wasn’t so bad during Trump’s first term in office because Melania stayed quiet and to herself.  They made fun of her Christmas decorations in the White House, but otherwise, Melania stayed comfortably in the background.  But not this time.  This time, Melania is presenting herself purposefully in a much more public way, and in her own way, she is uncovering some deep, dark secrets looming in the background.  It’s about time to make America great again by starting with moms and beautiful women.  Nothing improves the actions of others, especially men, than a woman with high standards and the looks to sell it to a hungry public.  And other women know it, and this is precisely why they hate Melania Trump and any other beautiful women because of their personal choices and the states of their personal neglect.  In such a world, they can’t compete, and that is the root cause of most of their anger, which has been holding down our society needlessly.

Slump Busters: Setting aggressive targets, and hitting them

It comes up a lot since the dumb and ridiculous Covid rules of employment, but Slump Busters are every bit as much of a thing now as they have always been.  People didn’t decide to loosen up their target acquisition consciously.  The human race still expects excellence even though the New World Order is clearly trying to make it easier for losers to succeed in the world at the expense of excellence and competency.  Setting low targets that are easy to hit has become the norm in the world regarding political expectations, and that trend has had disgusting consequences.  I have been talking about those observations for a while now, and they are most evident in drive-thru windows, which have become incredibly slow as Gen Z has become so much slower and cumbersome as they were taught during their education years by a society that has been infected by Marxist political movements to severely lower their expectations on what can be achieved in life.  People are still people and always will be, and it’s most evident in the sexual practices of a society what their true essence is regarding expectation.  And to that point, I have been talking about slump busters a lot lately.  I don’t participate in the slump-buster mentality and never have.  I set aggressive targets for myself in all aspects of my life, and I hit them.  Thinking like a shooter, I aim for the bottlecap at 100 yards.  Not the side of the barn, to make it easy to be successful.  Even though I have been married for many decades, almost 40 years, I remember the mating game well enough when I would go to a bar or nightclub with friends and watch the process unfold of slump busting, and it is precisely what we are seeing in our economy now, along the same lines, and it’s a disgusting reality that needs significant reform.

It’s not sexist to talk about this topic as it’s all-natural biology.  Women can pick any sex partner they’d like any time they want to.  All they have to do is let the male of their choice know they are interested, and men are designed always to be ready.  So these rules don’t apply to women as they are in the role of biology, the target that men must hit.  It’s up to the women to set aggressive targets and make things difficult for men.  And the more beautiful they are, the more motivated men are to attract the woman’s attention for the necessity of success.  When a wealthy man has an attractive young woman on their arm, they are communicating to the world that they are good at what they do and can attract a prime female to their bed.  So when going out to the meat market, I remember well enough how the game was played and still is.  People didn’t change; only the approach to politics by radical Marxist forces setting policy at the level of the United Nations to micromanage the way people interact with each other with new woke rules that are not applicable to the desires of all human beings.  When picking up women at a bar, the rules never change.  There are eight o’clock girls.  Then, some are still available at 2 in the morning.  And those are the slump busters.  If a woman is still available late at night, nobody wants her, and taking her home would be very easy and much less rewarding.  But if you are trying to knock the rust off social engagement with the reward of sexual conquest, then a slump buster may be the thing.  I would add that it’s a loser mentality to lower yourself to that level, but those lacking confidence in hitting a target may need to hit the broad side of a barn to make themselves feel better.

When you first get to a bar, if there are pretty girls there at all, because they don’t need to go to those places to get male attention, they can pick anybody off the rack at the grocery store.  But if they do end up at a bar or nightclub and are intent on finding a sexual partner for the short term, then they might be there at 8 PM, but they’ll be leaving with someone of their choosing by 9.  They don’t last long.  But the ugly people are still around late at night, and the most hideous of the ugly are all that’s left at 2 in the morning. Nobody will be bragging the next day that they ended up with a slump buster at the end of the night, just as nobody who thinks of themselves as a good shooter is bragging about hitting a barn from 100 yards.  Slump busters are confidence builders.  But for a person with a lot of confidence already, they would be disgusted in selling themselves short of a true victory in the realm of conquest.  Slump busters might satisfy the need to hit a target, but the quality of the effort isn’t worth sharing with the public.  I never liked the game, so I was married to my wife by the time I was 19.  I had seen enough very early in my life.

I met my wife while she was in the car with another guy.  I saw her at a traffic light and followed her boyfriend’s car to a parking lot, pulled up next to her side of the vehicle, and asked her for her phone number.  I was very aggressive with dating whoever I wanted and did not have any restrictions on confidence.  On the confidence front, I still shoot at very aggressive targets.  I shoot at the printed details on a bottlecap from 1000 yards.  I’m not just happy hitting the bottlecap.  And that’s what I expect from the world around me.  And when they indicate they are only excited to hit the side of a barn from ten feet, I naturally get very mad at them.  I would walk up to random women and ask them out, even in groups of four or five.  I had no fear of failure, and most of them said yes on the spot and if they were indifferent, they said yes a few weeks after.  And that’s still true to this day.  My wife was very beautiful, and everyone wanted to go out with her.  So, if you want to target pretty people like that, you must be bold.  So I took her from her date and married her.  And I can say that I never had a slump buster.  I never settled and never will, which is valid for everything.  And just because a bunch of pinheaded globalists suddenly think the human race is going to lower their expectations for what is possible in the world and that slump-busters will become the norm, not the exception, well, they have another thing coming.  I would say that people are embarrassed by their slump-busting trends over the last few years. Making America Great Again with high expectations and the kind of women who are off the market at 8 PM instead of building the world around the losers at 2 AM is coming back in style.  And the business world better accommodate for it because, ready or not, here it comes.  Slump busters are for losers.  And people don’t want to be losers.

Vote No on the MidPointe Library System in Butler County, Ohio: They only do well for diabolical Democrats and Marxist losers intent on the destruction of America

No, I’m not supporting the MidPointe Library System tax levy in Butler County, Ohio.  They want too much money for a product that is only good for Democrats.  Libraries these days tend to be breeding grounds for liberals so I tend not to like them anyway.  And I say that as a person who probably loves books more than anybody, locally, regionally, or this side of the Mississippi River.  I would say that books are my number one love in the world, I read around three books per week and on all kinds of different topics.  I think they are excellent ways to advance human civilization and the perpetuation of knowledge.  And in their infancy, I would say libraries were a good idea so that people who couldn’t afford books, or couldn’t get access to them any other way, could get access to vast amounts of information.  But those days are long gone. These days, libraries are meeting centers for radical Democrats who are plotting to take over the world one child at a time.  And they just aren’t worth the money.  There is a strong socialist vibe to libraries where sharing is their centerpiece.  I haven’t been to a library for three decades.  I did have one summer, my first one after graduating high school where I went to the library several times a week to read lots and lots of books.  But I hated to take them back, and since then I have just bought all my books each week.  I had wished that I had been able to keep all those books that I read out of the library, rather than taking them back because for me reading is a conquest, and I like to look at them later.  And to refer to them often.  So even though the books at the library are free, you don’t get to keep those adventures after and can’t refer to them over the years as brain development grows because ownership isn’t the key feature of libraries.  Sharing knowledge is, and that’s not really what book reading is all about.  It’s about transferring knowledge from one person to another, not in some socialist utopia of mass understanding.  That might have been a noble concept, but certainly not the reality. 

The cost of the MidPointe Library system in Butler County, Ohio, is $43.75 in taxes per $100,000 of home.  But who lives in a $100K home these days? Such a place would be a shack by today’s standards.  So, the actual cost of the levy to the average resident is around $150.  The library system will tell everyone that they serve around 600,000 visitors annually.  There are 400,000 people in Butler County, so we are talking about a lot of people, but with all that activity, we have not seen much of an increase in literacy or proper political thinking.  Libraries have become, over time, gathering places for Democrats because of their free access to information that brings out the degenerates into one place.  Most of the time, Republican-minded people don’t gather at the library to talk about a book.  They gather there to meet on below-the-line topics that work against individualism, which is why, even as an avid reader, I have not been back to a library in decades.  The MidPointe Library System does have a presence in Liberty Center Mall, which looks good from the food court.  I prefer a bookstore like Barnes and Noble to a library where moochers are attracted to the free aspect of getting a book, taking it home, reading it, and then bringing it back for someone else to share in that experience.  I like that people want to read books, but I like it better when they want to buy them and turn knowledge into a possession.  Not a shared experience. 

The MidPointe Library System says that for every dollar spent on a library, there is a return to the regional economy of $5 to $9 as if to justify the enormous expense of justifying them for the public. But I don’t see the massive expansion of intelligence that such a return on investment projects.  Literacy is way down where it clearly shouldn’t be.  Our education system for kids is a trash heap that carries over into the library system; people are learning all the wrong things.  It’s not enough to have an education; somewhat, what we learn truly matters.  And the kind of books that libraries offer are not exactly bastions of conservative value.  So, even if the return on investment is high, we have to question whether it’s the right kind of dollars for the correct type of investment.  We live in a time where the Internet has been the most significant decentralization of information in the history of the world, and more people have access to information that way than through a library card.  The rate at which people can consume information is much higher than it has ever been.  So why do we have literacy problems when just about every human being these days reads more than ever through online services and texting between associates? We value this kind of knowledge because places like public schools and libraries steer people toward the wrong thinking process.  People need physical assets to remind them of what they experienced.  Not taken back to the library and stored for some other slack-jawed loser to come along and have equal opportunity to acquire that knowledge.

The value of the library isn’t knowledge as individuals possess it; it’s in the shared community values of sameness.  They are essentially communist concepts because of their shared trait.  I was reminded of this the other day while at Half Priced Books, which I love.  But usually, they deal with books from personal collections and libraries that have failed somewhere, and they have a similar feel to libraries, where the books have been previously owned and have the emotional residue of other people on them.  Half Priced Books is an excellent place to find treasures that have been forced underground or out of print.  But like most things of value, we don’t share our food, we don’t share our spouses, and we don’t share our books, our traveled knowledge acquired through a lot of work and personal investment.  After you’ve read a book, you should keep the book as a trophy of the journey.  You don’t share it with some other slug; never to return to it later.  I have found that I reread many books at different periods of my life as my intellect grows.  What you read in your twenties tends to modify when you are forty or fifty because of brain development.  So, for all those reasons and more, I would like to see the MidPointe Library System go away and the people who typically go there fade away into the distance.  Libraries tend to make more Democrats by facilitating their socialist whims and are significant impediments to the kind of proper emotional growth that healthy human beings would otherwise evolve into.  Just because something is free doesn’t mean it’s right.  Experiences are not the same as possession of knowledge.  And reading a book is only a small part of gaining experience.  Taking an experience back to the library so somebody else can “experience” it too is a concept of Marx and the rest of the below-the-line Europeans who got information sharing wrong right out of the gate as the printing press was invented.  Libraries might have been a benefit initially when people couldn’t afford books, but the marketplace has made books so easily accessible that owning books is better.  And why I will vote No on the MidPointe Library Tax Levy in the 2024 election.

‘The Art of the Deal’: Trump’s magnificant historical significance

With Trump about to re-enter the White House, after all that he has been through, and all of us, I am thinking about the road that brought us all here quite a lot lately.  A lot of it feels providential.  Especially when I think back on the many books that Trump wrote that were self-help in nature.  And if the question had to be answered as to why Donald Trump wants to be president, I think he told himself and everyone else the answer to that question in his very first book and his most famous, The Art of the Deal.  That is a book that I love a lot, and I have read it many times over the years.  The copy I have in the video is one I bought in 2015 when he was running for president, and I’d carry it around with me in case I had a chance to get him to sign it, which I had an opportunity to do at least twice.  In 2015, it wasn’t so hard to get access to him.  It was nearly impossible after he became president.  But in 2015, when nobody, including most area Republicans, thought he had a snowball’s chance, I was one of his early cheerleaders. I was heavily involved in his early rallies, especially at the Savannah Center in West Chester, Ohio.  Then again, I was at the Sharonville Convention Center, where I was given VIP access to that event.  But I’m never that guy who worships celebrities.  Later, I would learn my lesson on being so discreet with Vivek Ramaswamy and J.D. Vance on getting my books signed.  If I get another chance, I’ll have Trump sign my current copy of The Art of the Deal because of its enormous historical significance.  I read a lot, and my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, and their children will most likely remember me for my books and love of reading as they go through my things over the next hundred years; I think some of these signatures will be important to them.  Perhaps inspire them to reach their own levels of greatness by example.  And President Trump’s signature on anything will say a lot about this current age. 

The Art of the Deal is a book I have loaned out to many people over the years who have asked to borrow it.  I have an extensive collection of books that have always been the ones people ask me to read.  But it’s also the book they are least likely to bring back.  The 2015 edition was released after Trump left The Apprentice and launched his presidential campaign.  But since then, publishers and media companies have been trying to pull Trump’s books off the market by not replacing the ones out there so they can pretend that one of the most well-known celebrities in the world doesn’t exist.  But with that one, I didn’t complain much; I would buy another one after people didn’t bring it back because I felt that more of those books floating around out there were good for the country.  This is, of course, before Trump was president and why I was an early supporter.  I first read The Art of the Deal when it came out and was on the top of the charts at number one in the fall of 1987, which was an extraordinary time for me.  It was my first year out of high school; I was engaged to my wife and trying to find ways that I could bring success to our family.  Trump was the hottest ticket in the world toward self-help success and the embodiment of achievement during Reaganomics.  My wife and I would spend most of our evenings at her parent’s house, and they were very successful.  So there was a lot of pressure on me by the nature of expectation so I had to learn a lot, fast.

We were planning a fancy wedding at the Beckett Ridge Country Club, where they were members.  There was more going on here than just kindness.  My wife was a fashion model at the time, and she was being groomed for New York society in that industry, and I was in the way of that.  So, the expectations for me were very high, so I would sit each night and read many books about success and how to get it because that was the world I was stepping into to have a wife like that.  Trump had some wise words based on his personal experience.  Out of all the books on success and finance, I read that year under those conditions, it was The Art of the Deal that most spoke to me and gave me the impression that it would be an essential book someday, even beyond the measure of a New York Times bestseller.  As I read the book, I thought this guy would be a good next president.  The Reagan years were ending, and George Bush offered to continue the goodwill.  But I was suspicious.  It would take someone with a lot of energy who loved talking to people and making deals who would need to continue Reagan’s excellent work.  That line of thinking would later encourage me to step away from Bush and the other Republicans at the time and go on quite a young adventure with Ross Perot and his daughters down in Texas, but that’s a whole story of its own. 

What is most evident in The Art of the Deal is that Trump is doing all this running-for-president stuff for more than revenge after all that has been done to him.  He is one of the most positive people functioning in the world today, and he has a unique sense of business and communication that few people ever master, and he loves bringing people together.  He likes people a lot more than I do.  He enjoys making deals, so The Art of the Deal was an important book.  Before Trump came along, I didn’t know that any successful people enjoyed making deals like Trump did.  As President of the United States, he would get a chance every day to have the life he talked about at the beginning of that now-famous book.  Trump is happiest when every minute of every day is filled with talking to people and helping them succeed.  And making deals with people doesn’t mean screwing them over, but finding mutual benefits in working together that they might not see themselves.  And that Trump could invent that role for himself lent directly to this idea that he would be a great president.  And as the years would tell, he was.  And now he’s poised to do it again.  And if I had to do it again, I don’t have many regrets, but the times that I met Trump, I just stood there cooly, not getting wrapped up in his celebrity; in the context of history, I’d get him to sign The Art of the Deal for me.  It’s been a long history, and the significance of that book can’t be underestimated, especially in the context of this second term.  I think I do love President Trump.  I don’t feel that way about many people in the world, and my support of him started with that book many years ago.  Ross Perot was the next best thing for me in those early years, which began with The Art of the Deal and my need to be successful in life because I was expected to be successful because of the person I married.  But more than all that, The Art of the Deal was an insight into the future before the rest of the world realized how important it would be and how the future of all human civilization has formed around it uniquely.  And it’s been a journey I have enjoyed being a part of.

If You Don’t Have People Trying to Kill You, You Aren’t Working Hard Enough to do Good in Life: President Trump is tough and understands

I have another saying that I use a lot.  I probably say it several times a week to somebody, and that is, “If people are not plotting against you or, in extreme cases, trying to kill you, you aren’t trying to do enough good in the world.”  It was a bit of a running joke the other day as I talked to one of the gun range instructors there with my wife while we were all shooting, and my lifestyle came up.  We were talking about my choice of concealed carry weapons, which I take everywhere with me at all times, and that is my .50 caliber Desert Eagle and my Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum.  My wife joked to the instructor who was pretty shocked to hear all the stories.  It’s not something I advertise, but as she said, “Everyone is trying to kill my husband.”  And it’s true, I wouldn’t say everyone, as I corrected her, but I would say many people.  Most people won’t go to that extreme, but it all starts with plotting and scheming for your demise.  And when they get frustrated with routine failures to remove you from their life, then they start plotting to kill you.  And to that point, I have an unusual life that I don’t talk about very much; during the day, I seldom take the same roads to places.  I usually find three or four ways to get where I’m going because back in the day, I had several personal friends who were hitmen, and they would tell me how they got rid of people, and I have remembered those things for my own life.  And getting caught at a traffic light thinking about other things is a good way not to come home that day.  Hit squads do and will case out a route they believe you’ll be on, and they will try to take shots at you while you are at traffic lights because, usually, those are very vulnerable times.

And I say the same thing about President Trump, I am not at all surprised that there are plots to kill him.  He has done an excellent job as a leader, which usually means there are many people who want to do bad things in the world and want to remove you as a pressure mechanism of expectation in their life to do better.  In a lazy world, people who don’t want to live up to the example you set as a good person will always ultimately try to kill you.  It’s a fact of life.  But the other thing that I say all the time, and have proved accurate many times, is just because people want to kill you, it doesn’t mean they can.  You can do many things to turn the tables on them and ruin their lives for their ill intentions toward you.  And most of those things don’t involve guns.  It’s great that President Trump survived the assassination attempts against him, but even as people were talking about them, my first thought wasn’t, “Did he survive.”  I expected him to survive. I would have been surprised if they had hit him because I understand the power of positive thinking, and Trump embodies that.  So, having excellent luck is part of that kind of mind.  I would say another 100 plots against Trump could be attempted, and he would likely survive every one of them because of his tendency toward luck, providence, or personal persuasion skills.  Ultimately, it is hard to kill people, even among the professional types, especially if the target is aware that attempts are active.  Once a person comes to terms with “death marks,” it is much harder to bring a person down, unaware.  It comes with being a tough guy, and Trump is, that you come to terms with the intentions that people have for your personal destruction, and part of the game of success is in denying them of their wishes. 

One of the great sins of our modern times, and even in our ancient past, was the corruptive power of appeasement that most people utilize to take the edge off those who would love to kill you.  Too many people who intend to do good in the world work very hard to make friends with people who don’t deserve that friendship.  Our society tries to make friends with its attackers rather than turn the tables on evil.  If a person resists the temptations of evil, there will be plots and schemes attempting to destroy you in any way possible.  There is no way to make friends and appease evil.  Evil must be fought, even to the death.  Giving people a chance to meet you on your terms of goodness is nice.  But it is evil to compromise with evil for your self-preservation.  Another thing I say all the time (I’m saying many things today that I say all the time, literally dozens of times per week) is why God said to put on his armor and trust him when things get scary.  He told the Israelites to take the land of Canaan, but they were scared of all the reports of giants in the land as their adversaries, so they hesitated rather than trusting God to take care of them when they had to face down a superior enemy with much more deadly force.  Ultimately, that is the story of Joshua. Once the next generation had died off, a new one led by the descendants of Moses finally attacked.  God had their back, and miracles of survival happened abundantly.  Another thing I say a lot, several times a week, when they tell me, “How do you know God exists?”   And I always reply, “Follow me around one day and watch what happens.  You’ll believe in God by supper.” 

And Trump learned this attitude a long time ago.  You don’t run around chicken of every insult and intention against you.  If people like you, then there is something wrong because most people don’t just like other people and suddenly want to hold your hand.  And there isn’t a government ever created on earth that can protect you from ill intentions.  The best way to protect yourself from the world’s evils is through competition, where the bad must compete with the good in open warfare.  Evil people often turn to plots to kill their antagonizers when they lose and have no redeeming path to success.  So when people are plotting to kill you, you should take that as a compliment.  It means you are doing an excellent job in the world.  If you are trying to appease those plotters with kind words and gestures, then you are sacrificing integrity for the possibility of living through the day by calling off their goons.  It’s not like you get up every morning looking for trouble, but if you plan to live your life free of other people, you will likely gain enemies and lots of them.  And when they profess and act in ways to kill you, then that is the ultimate compliment that you are doing an excellent job in the world.  It would be best if you never feared it.  But instead, knowing that should put a smile on your face.  I see that Trump understands it.  And now people who wonder why I am always smiling, well, you know why.  I love that Trump is genuinely a tough guy.  I always thought of him as one, but now that he has survived several assassination attempts, he’s part of that unique club that I respect more than any other trait in the human race.  And because people are trying to kill him, it means he’s doing a great job as President of the United States, unofficially at the moment.  But soon, officially.
