I’m in a pretty good mood these days; I have discovered that One America News Network has an app on iHeart Radio which works great. Their broadcasts are nice and clean and sound very NPR-like, except without all the liberal slants. Now the rest of the media thinks that OANN is a far-right news organization. I personally love them, but they are far from being “far-right.” Instead, the actual definition for their political perspective is interpreted by communists. Everything to their right is considered “far-right.” So keep it in perspective. But to the point, it’s hard to watch OANN right now, and many people want to know how to watch them. With this iHeart app, you can listen to them anywhere, which I have been doing. It would be my recommendation that you get the app and keep them on all the time, in your car, in your offices, in your homes, everywhere. They are doing great work, they are getting more potent as a new media platform, and they are a great alternative to the disappointments of Fox News and others who have not defended President Trump. Trump, after all, has been right; he was mocked for correctly pointing out that Covid-19 came from the Wuhan lab in China. And he is being proven right again with election fraud which only OANN has been covering accurately. So enjoy! You have a choice!
I’m sure Rochelle Walensk is a nice lady who would be a friendly backyard barbecue host in Georgetown. She might even be quite good at picking brackets for March Madness. She looks like the kind of gal who knows something about college sports. But when it comes to the role she plays as Director of the CDC, she has become quite a villain when covering for her buddy, Dr. Fauci, and his funding of “gain of function” research in the now-famous Wuhan lab in China. It is pretty clear Covid-19 was tampered with at the Wuhan lab, and much of that has been blamed on the Chinese government. But now that the smoke is clearing, we see what direct role Dr. Fauci played in unleashing that virus to the world. And why he has become the leading voice promoting the pandemic status to the world, which has ended up costing us all trillions and trillions of dollars and has killed many people. While Fauci has been posing for a picture beside his pool, becoming an international celebrity, it’s pretty known now that Covid would never have happened if not for Fauci’s tampering, to begin with. And, of course, Rochelle Walensk knows about it all and covers the government-industry that unleashed Covid-19 in such a destructive way.
One question that comes up with all this, if China is so rich, why aren’t they funding their own Wuhan lab. Why is Bill Gates so involved? And why is Fauci funneling taxpayer money into a Chinese lab to produce a super virus that spreads so quickly? Who came up with the story that someone ate a bat, and that’s how the virus got out? I mean, the whole thing was telegraphed in November of 2019 at Event 201. Rochelle Walensk knew about that event and what the pre-planning pandemic outbreak was simulating. Bill Gates was trying to cover up his bad sexual deeds in his marriage to keep Malinda happy and quiet about his Jeffery Epstein adventures with little kids. Nothing like saving the world from a made-up Wuhan virus to shut everyone up. Fighting climate change was an excellent way to keep the escapades of failing marriage off the front pages and using Dr. Fauci’s gain of function virus to do so. It’s all coming together. We can see the puzzle pattern because we’ve found the edges. And like a nice lady, Rochelle Walensk at the CDC ran a cover story for the entire crime by attempting to backtrack everything now that the case is all falling apart.
She must really, Walensk at the CDC sees the writing on the wall. States all over America are stopping their compliance with the government mandates. I started to see this trend over the winter as I traveled from one end of the country to another. People were taking off their masks, ignoring the social distancing guidelines, and they were getting back to life as usual. I noticed it when we went to the movies to see Godzilla vs. Kong (a pretty good film, by the way), and people were sick and tired of this stupid Covid crap. I saw it as the zoo when we visited recently. Even the zoo filled with liberal employees was tired of masks and social distancing. I talked a bit to the girl who ran the train at the zoo and asked her how she felt about cleaning the seats after every train ride. She was expressing readiness for disobedience. Those stories are everywhere. Now the government is losing its ability to control the population with fear, so Walensk has no choice but to reverse the mask policy, cover for Dr. Fauci and cooperate to get the country back open again. The gig is up, and the CDC either gets with it, or the world will see that they have lost control of the population and will have lost it forever. Yielding now gives the government types hope that all is not yet lost.
But I would say for them that they blew it. Any trust we had in the CDC or government in general over a possibility of a pandemic is gone. We were fooled once, and it won’t happen again. We suspended our Constitutional limits on government for over a year, and that was devastating. The government abused its power, and we all suffered for it. And worse yet, we allowed this Covid virus to tamper with our elections. If the government hadn’t gotten involved, we would have likely had very different election results up and down the tickets. We do not have the proper representation in our government as a result. The government used Covid to tamper with our elections, which is a crime on a massive scale. Without question, the CDC Director knows all about it; she knows that Fauci was involved with the Wuhan lab that unleased this disaster of a virus. She knows that he is lying about it all on the news every night, using chaos to divert attention away from his crimes. She knows that the government used CDC guidelines to steal an election. To crippling the economy. To kill people in nursing homes so that the government could point to actual deaths.
All serious stuff, and now the story is breaking, so what is she supposed to do? States are opening regardless of what the CDC has to say about it. Florida opening all the way put a nail in the coffin of Covid. After that, other states followed. Even Ohio, where many of the lockdowns started under Mike DeWine, is opening again on June 2nd. If they somehow fail to do so, the state legislature will do it for him on June 23rd. The emergency powers that the Governor has have been taken from him. The same story could be said to be happening in many other states as well.
That leaves the CDC in the precarious position of backtracking for their survival. The parade of mistakes and maliciousness that led to this moment can’t be taken back, and nobody can afford to dig the hole even deeper. Wisely, Rochelle Walensk knows that it’s time to fold. Possibly to even win back some support by playing along. But one thing is relatively straightforward, people, voters, are done with Covid-19. The government abused the trust that most people have in government. Too many people see the crimes that were committed in the process. And now it’s time to pay. Dr. Fauci played with fire, and he got burnt. The CDC overplayed its hand to help cover crimes, and now it’s coming back on them. This is the reason for all the confusion, where the CDC said so much about wearing the masks to fight a virus, which is about as unscientific as anybody could get, to now saying take the masks off, and have a good life. Forget anything that happened. Sorry. Well, that’s not going to fly; people will be talking about this case for decades. It will still be written about 100 years from now regarding what not to do. And all the names that are contained in that story will live on in history as some of the biggest buffoons ever to roam the earth. And Rochelle Walensk knows now that her name will be on that list.
There has been panic which I’ve explained before to those concerned about the amount of power corporations have. The worry is that corporations will force us to accept vaccine passports to move around the country, that they’ll push us out of amusement parks if we don’t get woke policies, and that they’ll regulate our lives by generally denying us fun and happiness. It is essentially the Chinese model that we are seeing play out in the opening days of the Biden administration. Companies like Disney and Coka Cola, who have global aims, have placed their bets that the way to those international markets is through the communism of China. That is essentially the bet of the NBA, an organization made up of socialist players to go global China style. So, they are ignoring American markets treating us like garbage because they are going for what they think is a bigger prize in the world of tomorrow under a one-world government ran by the United Nations and influenced by communism. That’s how we arrived here, but I have explained it a different way, and my bets are placed opposite of the international trend. Those who are betting against America are going to pay for it in a big way.
Now I love traditional Disney. I think Walt Disney is one of the great entrepreneurs of our American history. I have no problem sharing Disney with the rest of the world. If Disney is broadcasting American values, it’s a great thing. Disney the Man. Not Disney, the corporation that woke leftists and Democrat presidential hopefuls now run. I would offer that these new leaders of corporate Disney, Coke, and the NBA—among others—don’t know what they are doing and have over-leveraged their influence over the American population. For instance, Disney thinks people are so hungry for their Disney+ service, their amusement parks, and their many restaurants and hotels that they will put up with crazy, radical communist policies in trade for fun. I would offer that people reject those services in favor of freedom and that market pressures will shift away from those corporations to other options. Such as Facebook and Twitter assumed that they would have control over the flow of information, but instead, options are erupting everywhere. The Facebook model is now dying as we speak as well as Twitter. Their influence is waning due to their activism against President Trump and his 70 million voters. Disney is suffering the same fate; they are losing billions of dollars in their commitment to wokeness, and I don’t ever see them recovering. Their decision to leverage their entertainment assets against American traditions is costing them as they speak, and the brand damage is incalculable.
I have wanted to return to Disney World for a vacation, so I occasionally watch video vlogs of people who cover the parks in Orlando, and what they are reporting is embarrassing compared to my experiences in the past. Disney World as a vacation spot has been one of the best locations on earth for entertainment. Not only do they have a collection of the best rides that are anywhere, but they have great employees who carry the company message of happiness and enthusiasm for life. But this move by the company to go full woke, to empower all the radical leftwing causes, the Black Lives Matters types, the gun grabbers, the rainbow gays on Disney characters, the transgender policies have ruined that positive employee interaction. I didn’t help to shut down for Covid and never fully restaffing. With the theme parks at a much-reduced capacity, waiting times excessively high only to be greeted with more and more Covid restrictions, the brand of Disney has been whittled away during the election year of 2020, and their gamble will not be paying off. You can see it most in the many specialty shops that are closed and appear to be gone forever, the little chocolate shops and souvenir spots that are seldom ever open anymore because of the declined attendance.
This past week, Ron DeSantis in Florida removed all emergency Covid restrictions, so Disney cannot blame the government for its temperature-taking and mask mandates. That is a liberal policy from the management of Disney as a company that wants to see central government restriction to get the payoff of a culture shift from America to China, where they placed all their bets. And those bets are now in the multibillion dollars. That is why they are trying not to show panic, but they look to have lost their pre-2019 market share forever. The evidence was in the fan reaction to the Gina Carano firing from the Star Wars Mandalorian series because she came out on Twitter as a conservative. The way that Disney fired her showed they have no idea what is driving market forces these days, and when Star Wars fans rebelled by canceling their Disney+ memberships, the company had to attempt to fix it by hiring her back, or at least to let the fans know they were thinking about it. With Florida now without Covid restrictions, yet Disney insisting on keeping them going costing themselves even more billions by the month, there are many more Gina Carano-like concessions they will have to make in the future to attempt to regain market share. That might help. I might revisit the parks, but I’m not going to spend a lot of money there to see a bunch of closed restaurants, lines that are socially distanced, and having to wear a stupid mask in the hot Florida sun over a communist attempt at insurgency by the management of the Disney Company.
That has been my message from the beginning of this woke attempt by companies to steer us into political directions. Money rules, and they can’t cheat that vote. People ultimately have the power over their corporations, and the best way to make them honest again is by hitting them in the pocketbook. Don’t buy their crap and watch how fast they give up their communist dreams. They should have never listened to the China playbook. The market share was never going to come from the East, and stealing it from America was never going to work. It might have looked good on paper to people too stupid to ask the obvious questions. But now, the dollars and cents are telling the story quite well. It’s not just Disney either. They make an excellent example because their brand is so well known and significant. Watching them fall the way they have provides a glimpse into smaller corporations that are just as bad off but not obvious to the public. The NBA gained popularity because of Larry Bird and the great competition with Michael Jorden. People will be turned off by athletes taking up communist causes. The corporations themselves do not set public policy; they are created to fulfill a public need. And so long as they do that, they will make money. When they think they can steer that policy, they will fail every single time. The NBA has seriously damaged their brand, likely forever also. It took a long time to build and only a few years to destroy. Good luck in China, where they don’t have the money to support those types of endeavors, and they never will. So, fret not; you have a lot more control over this wokeness than you think. It’s already coming apart, so let it fall apart. There are plenty of other things in life to do. We don’t need companies that aren’t pro-American.
It’s about time; Oklahoma is proposing legislation to protect drivers who run protestors carrying their anarchy into the roadways of that state. Other states such as Indiana and Florida pursuing similar protections, which is a perfect thing and long overdue. We have witnessed many riots over the last several years, especially the race-baiting Democrats who have been engaged. With them, it’s been quite a show; they were the ones who were responsible for slavery and fighting to keep it in place. Now to cover that crime, they seek to control people of color another way. They are obliged all too often with riots in the streets every time Democrats find they need a diversion from their many crimes and liabilities derived from legislative errors. Many of these protests are just thinly disguised attempts to exert Marxism into American society. Hence, their target is always commerce, which is why these mobs have been seeking to shut down our nation’s highways. On several occasions, panicked drivers being forced to sit in traffic as these mobs destroy their property in terrifying ways have tried to drive through the attackers harming and even killing them. For the drivers, not only did they have their property destroyed and had to sit through a terrifying occasion, but then they end up prosecuted for using their car as a deadly weapon. It is hardly fair, and justice has been desperately needed.
Thankfully, states like Oklahoma are providing that justice. While nobody wants anybody to get hurt, no protestor should ever expect their free speech to harm other people’s liberty, specifically their right to commerce. The moment that any protestor affects the individual lives of other people, such as showing up at their homes and playing loud music or chanting through a bullhorn to keep the occupants inside awake, we are then dealing with a disturbance of the peace situation. The violators have then surrendered their constitutional protections of free speech and should then be arrested and prosecuted. That is the same with protestors who have disrupted the meals of their targets in public. Those protests are then disturbance of the peace violations and need to be met with aggressive action. The occupants of a restaurant are there to pay for a nice meal. It is their right and privilege. Robbing that experience from people to usher in some protest is not acceptable and not part of the ground rules of a free society. The protestors may be free to speak their mind, even if it’s wrong. But they do not have a right to rob other people of enjoyment. Whatever legal jargon might allow for a gray spot in interpretation requires clarity quickly, which, thankfully, these states mentioned are beginning to do.
Now protestors might argue that taking away their right to get people’s attention will weaken their ability to get their point across. That is not the problem of a society of commerce. That is the problem of the protestor. If the protestor has a good point, people will follow them. If people think of the protestors as an inconvenience, they will be ignored, and their points glazed over. That is how battles in a free-market economy are conducted. Nobody has a right to dominate the minds and thoughts of others. However, that’s not what the protestors want. If we read the many books that they have been circulating for years, books such as The Coming Insurrection, Mao’s Little Red Book, and Rules for Radicals, it’s clear they want Marxism disguised as fairness. So, they don’t care at all about individual rights, and they openly seek to destroy unregulated commerce. And to deal with protestors legally in this regard, we can’t allow ourselves to think that we are protecting free speech when in all reality, we are working against all the other rights of the Constitution.
It is a basic premise in our society that if people are walking around on railroad tracks or a highway, their safety is not the responsibility of other people. Suppose they put themselves in danger by being within the means of commerce of any kind, boat, plane, car, train—anything, that their life is in their own hands. That is true even if there is a mob of hundreds and hundreds of people. It is not the truck driver’s duty to stop the work and delay shipment of their product from one place to another because many protestors decided to bring their gripes to the truck driver’s life and alter his reality. While traveling at a moderate rate of speed, the truck driver should be unable to slow down and move right on through the mob unimpeded. If there are injuries or deaths, then that obligation rests on the people in the road, not the drivers, to have one more thing to worry about. If animals cross into a road, which could be understood since they don’t know better, they are struck all the time. It is understood generally that the right to commerce is more important than an accident from some creature, unfortunately, being in the road when a car comes along. However, in the case of humans, they do know better. Now they may be impaired by drugs, or they may be sick with political ideology. Regardless, they are still ill of mind and prone to destruction if they end up in the road and are hit by a car or truck while protesting.
For many years, these ideas have been generally understood. However, in our now overly litigious society, we see challenges to this premise. Many drivers have been stopping and yielding to these protestors because they are more afraid of the legal system than the derelicts of destruction that often end up in these mobs. That is why the many state legislators must do as Oklahoma are doing now, making the issue quite specific. Commerce must be a protected right, people’s ability to be free of a protest should they want to be supported. We cannot allow people who wish to bring harm to our constitutional republic to use our rules against us disguised as free speech, but with the intent of violating the whole foundation of our legal system while in the process, which is what has been happening. The challenge has left people feeling defenseless and vulnerable, which should never be the case in a civil society. Because the alternative is that if protesters act with lawlessness, which is their premise when they loot and vandalize during protests, we fight back with lawlessness. I don’t think that’s where we all want to go. It would be better if everyone agreed with the laws, and we could at least have that as a common means of exchange. But putting up with the chaos and aggression against commerce is not an option. Commerce is much more sacred than the feelings of a Marxist minority, or even a majority, should that ever occur. And before open violence between drivers and protests happens, the ground rules need to be clear: what Oklahoma and many other states are now doing, and not a moment too soon.
The best hope for a continuation of House Bill 178 getting passed in the Senate is to have George Lang there to help convince Mike DeWine to sign the bill, which modifies weapons law, permitting concealed carry without a license, and many other positive reforms. While many are still in debate about to what extent the Second Amendment can or should be regulated, the crazy leftist who shot up a night spot in Dayton has many conservatives weak-kneed and in need of some hand holding in the aftermath. Of the people running for the 4th District Senate Seat in the upcoming primary between George Lang, Candice Keller and Ding Dong Lee Wong, only George Lang has the clout and ability to help Mike DeWine get off the fence and back to the table to sign such a bill as HB 178. As we get closer to the primary in March, its important that voters understand the strategy and best options for the issues they are most passionate about, and in Ohio the gun rights concerns are a big topic, so a bit of context is worth our time and consideration.
Candice Keller has been asked by the GOP to step down for her comments made in August in reaction to mass shootings in general. I think many people who are logical understood that much of what she said is true, about fatherless homes, and drug users being the cause of many mass shootings, but what hurt her is that she brought up Nazi language and tousled into the gay rights debate in a way that was completely unnecessary, and it hurt the GOP brand, and her stance on Second Amendment rights, which she has been a strong supporter. But she also walked right into the poo poo by giving opponents of bills like HB 178 a face to throw darts at, and therefor a great excuse for Mike DeWine to move away from signing it. So long as Candice was a face of Second Amendment rights in Columbus then she is hurting all the politicians who support the bill but had the political skill to stay out of trouble when pressed by the media for reaction to such catastrophes like the shooting in Dayton last year. This is another reason that the media has given Candice so much prominent coverage—most of it negative, because it has forced this issue underground again and made her look like a front runner in the 4th Seat Senate race. But there is a better option, a much better one in George Lang who is every bit as much of a Second Amendment supporter, I think more so, however, he has the political skill to unite people around the bill in the Senate to the Governor that Candice just doesn’t have. And even if she did, it will take her years to rebuild her political clout within the GOP to be effective in those types of discussions.
The media would like to make the race for that senate seat look much tighter ahead of the primary with its secret hopes that enough people might vote for Candice so that she can be elected to that seat only to waste it on more political scandal, which would then effectively kill HB 178 for many years. However, running for a big office seat like those in the senate takes politicians who can raise money, advertise, and then not step in it when pushed by the media for comments, who can stay on target literally with their message under great stress. And to that point only George Lang has any remote possibility of being an effective senator in the 4th District. In the financial reports for the candidates that were due on Friday of last week, George Lang had cash reserves of well over $200,000 where Candice only had $12,000. So that leaves her only strategy to hope to stay relevant is to be a rock chucker and hope that she can get some headlines and free coverage to get her message out. But the problem is, the GOP wants her to resign, so any coverage she gets is always going to be negative.
Meanwhile the Buckeye Firearms Association has endorsed George Lang for Ohio’s 4th Senate district and by mid-February the NRA is going to give its support as well. George’s record and ability has the recognized strength to advance gun rights as a senator and that momentum should not be wasted by anybody who wants to see bills like HB 178 become law without becoming so watered down by passage that it would be virtually worthless. I would encourage Candice whom I think genuinely cares about gun rights to get behind George as the best option to represent the 4th District in this great debate. But more than that, George has the ability to put that needed arm around Governor DeWine’s neck to get the signature needed to make HB 178 a reality. Those are the kinds of political skills that go well beyond a simple vote in the chamber and how things really happen in any political body.
Candice due to her lack of political skill, not necessarily her fault—time will fix a lot of that—but she’s had to take some of these extreme positions on her Facebook page to try to cover her lack of connections to secure funding for a campaign. It’s a page out of the Trump playbook, but he was rich and didn’t need to raise money for advertising in the traditional way. New media can take a creative politician far, but not that far, and her lack of ability to gather a crowd that will give her thousands of dollars in donations is something that can’t be overcome with political theater alone. There needs to be other layers to the reach of a senator in any district and that range and donation ability is the kind of leverage that gets you a lunch date with the governor to even pitch the ideas outside of chamber protocol. Everything is about political clout and that is how after this 2020 election cycle HB 178 has the best chance to get back out into the voting cycle.
The NRA knows George is the best chance and so does the Buckeye Firearms Association, and others who are sure to follow. If the true goal is to get pro firearm legislation solidified in Ohio then George is the best option. If the goal is simply to get elected into the senate by any means possible and Candice has to be forced to show all these extreme cards to get the free publicity, then she can’t truly say that she wants HB 178 to pass, because she has no ability to help advance it as a senator or as a member of the House. The GOP is distancing themselves from her and I would say to Candice that her political future isn’t over, it needs repaired. Helping to get HP 178 to a senator who can help on the other side and secure sentiment with the governor would go a long way to repairing that relationship. And that would take more guts for all the right reasons than destroying everything from the inside out just to get a political win for the short run.
