DeSantis at the Butler County Republican Party Lincoln Day Dinner: For 2024, its still Trump, Trump, and more Trump

It’s all about the Constitution. The only trouble these days are governments who violate it unlawfully.

It’s all about the chaos; in fact, the political fights we are fighting are not the ones we think we are, and that has been a harsh reality for the Republican Party. We’re not looking for a fair fight against a battle of ideas but a resolute cage fighter with an addiction to winning and destroying the enemy, which is the key behind the 2024 election. Because the enemy thinks it knows Republicans, and they want them to play by the rules they control. And as long as Democrats and a liberal world order control those rules, they control politics, which is why Republicans have always been on their heels and acting as victims when they hold the majority opinion. It’s been a trick that the political left has utilized against conservatives for most of the last century, and it’s time to put an end to it. And that was obvious at the 2023 Butler County Republican Party Lincoln Dinner at the Savannah Center, where a line of attendees wrapped around the building to see Ron DeSantis speak as the guest. Anthony Munoz was in line behind me, along with many other influencers who came to unite over a nice meal, even though their politics might be spread across the conservative spectrum to various degrees. Everyone intends to have the right ideas about things, but as is often the case in life, there is usually only one correct answer. And finding it can be a painful process with many hurt feelings. But it was good to see many friends gathering together to discover common interests at a fabulous event by many good people. I enjoyed the company, the food, and the atmosphere. But at the end of the evening, as I spoke to everyone I could, the question most asked me was, is it time to consider Ron DeSantis as the Republican nominee for President of the United States? And to that answer, which I gave repeatedly, was an emphatic no.

It’s not that Ron DeSantis and his very sweet wife didn’t present themselves as the best that Republican politics could offer. Ron’s speech was great, it was good to see him in person, and it’s good to see he has a functioning relationship with his wife, who was just fantastic. But this 2024 election isn’t about such good people or policies. It’s about a radical global plot to destroy the dollar and America with it. It’s about massive election fraud controlled by foreign investment and a full push from Chinese communists to take over all commerce in the world under the tutelage of the World Economic Forum. Republicans have underestimated the world’s villains because they think we are still dealing with elections as a domestic matter. But that is not the opinion of the hostile nations of the world who are looking to overthrow America without firing a shot. China has invested in espionage, deceit, election tampering, and undermining cultures from within. That is how they fight, and they have an army of billionaires helping them with their plans, people like Ray Dalio, George Soros, Bill Gates, Larry Fink, and his BlackRock money management firm. We are dealing with some really nasty characters who have invested heavily in the destruction of America, and they expect a return. Canada just was found to have had their elections rigged by China tampering. The same certainly was the case recently in Brazil. The pattern for China is to support some beat-up old man who is compromised and would otherwise be in jail and have them loyal to whoever puts them in power. That’s certainly the case with Biden in America. And that is obvious in Brazil with Lula (Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva). That communist insurgent was in jail, and they let him out to run for president. The election fraud system in key districts did the rest of the work. 

As I moved around the room after the DeSantis speech, I was genuinely happy to see around 50 to 60 different people I have a long history with who greeted me with lots of hugs and fist bumps. It had been challenging in Butler County; not everyone has the same conservative commitment and understanding level. But we treated each other with respect, which was really good to see, even with people I had been sideways with in a big way during 2022. But I was concerned as I talked to them, and they were still elated with Ron’s speech. I told them I hated to see Ron DeSantis ruin his brand in a conflict with Trump when the real enemy was foreign investment into America, not just at the banking level but our election system. Trump was the only one who could run in 2024 because he was the only one willing to tackle the real problem, but he had the financial incentive actually to perform the task. And if DeSantis got caught in the crossfire, it would ruin him for 2028 and 2032. I kept saying to everyone that Republicans need a ten-year plan, not just to be looking at 2024. America is literally under attack, and this was no time for happy talk about reaching across the aisle to Democrats. Democrats, at this point, are assets of Chinese aggression, they are communists, and they want that for America, and we have to deal with them in that fashion, with the same vigor that we approach the trans issues in public schools and the destruction of our children with CRT learning. This is not a time for middle-ground politics.

I thought it was great that we could have had some of the debates in the Republican Party and still shake hands at the end of it and, in many cases, exchange a warm embrace. And after 2024, that will be the case in national politics, and I really want Ron DeSantis to have a place in it. But first, the rest of the country needs to see what authentic leadership is at the governor’s level. States need better governors; they need to focus on good, conservative secretaries of state. And they need to get control of their elections, especially in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. As long as massive election fraud is a way of life in Milwaukee, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Pittsburg, and Philadelphia, the election fraud network, which is controlled by Chinese infiltration and money, will not allow a Republican in the White House. That is the actual fight, and as of this election, the only way to beat the cheat is with a Republican who can generate over 75 million votes on election day. And it’s not suburban moms who are going to get Republicans there. It’s the beer drinkers, the monster truck drivers, the immigrants who came to America for an opportunity, who ran away from socialism and communism in their home countries. They need to go out and vote when they otherwise might not. But they will vote because of the Trump brand. If he were the nominee, DeSantis would only get a vote count in the 60 million range, just as Barack Obama had.

Only people educated on the matter will vote on election day, which is typical. Republicans in 2024 need and overvote much more than usual to overtake the cheating in those key battleground states who still have radical Democrats in their Secretary of State positions. And that is why I have been saying now, especially to the critical influencers in the Butler County Republican Party, its Trump, Trump, and more Trump, and only Trump for 2024. DeSantis was great at the Lincoln Day Dinner. I want to see a 10 to 15-year plan that has him in it and eventually in the White House. But we have to get there first, which requires understanding that we are in a global war with China, and they intend to control international elections to suit their cause. And that is the battlefield of 2024 and is something everyone must deal with in their own way of understanding.

We Need More Capitalism in Healthcare: The government ruins everything and they need to stay away from trying to fix people

Another thing that has come up a lot lately is the condition of our American healthcare system. Now I have a special relationship with this topic, too; some unusual perspectives that I think are humorous, as I have been warning about this industry much like I have been warning about the public education system. I have several family members who work in the healthcare industry. One of my sons-in-laws came from England, where their healthcare industry was already worse than we see in America now, with long waiting lines for operations and selective care. All kinds of really stupid rules collapsing under the weight of its own bureaucracy. He was with me when I had to get ACL surgery; the entire family went to the hospital because seeing me in such a vulnerable condition was pretty tragic. I have always had a “don’t go to the doctor unless it’s an absolute emergency” policy, so it was hard for them to see me go into an actual operation that involved anesthesia.   But it was the only way to repair my ACL. I had torn it during an intense basketball game. I worsened the situation during an entertaining stunt where I jumped through a wall of fire with my bullwhips slinging, one in each hand. When I landed, the grass was wet, my footing slipped, and my thigh bone ultimately came out of the knee socket and drove itself deep into the dirt. I popped everything back together using my MCL to hold my leg in one piece so I could limp away. But a lot of damage had been done, so I went to an outstanding surgeon who worked on Cincinnati Reds players to fix my knee. 

I’ve had hundreds of stitches, so going to the doctor has been common. But every time I have hated the experience so much, I have taken extreme measures to avoid going to the doctor because the service in the healthcare industry is so bad. When I have been cut really badly, my policy has always been to Super Glue everything back together, literally. I’ve been doing that for my entire adult life.   I used to work in a hazardous metal stamping factory, and it was common for people to lose fingers. I had a lot of bad cuts, and whenever I could, I used Super Glue rather than getting stitches to get right back to work. Even with bad injuries, I never missed work. And when my kids had really bad cuts, my policy was to glue them together. There were a few times when they were bitten by animals, both times in the face. Particularly a nose injury where a good part of it had been ripped away. Another time an ear. In both cases, I was concerned that the stitches would pull the skin together in hard ways that would leave a terrible scar, and these were girls; they would need their faces as pretty as possible. So I glued them together, and everything healed nicely, with very little scarring.

In the aftermath, people can barely tell. It comes to my mind because I recently had a birthday, and the family was gratefully joking about these kinds of things. My approach was certainly unorthodox and, ironically, way ahead of its time. It was interesting during that ACL repair to hear my son-in-law talk about the horrors of the English healthcare system because he was amazed at how efficient ours was in America. But I hated it. I hated the assembly line feel of surgery, and I had the best that Cincinnati had to offer. But to me, it was garbage. Our health care should be so much better, and I know it can be.

My extreme measures are born from my hatred of it. My wife just broke a bone in her hand the other day, and she was asking me what to do about it because it hurt. She fell and hit the ground hard after playing with the grandkids in the way that kids under ten typically play. She plays with them, and that usually involves falling. When you are a kid, and the bones are still rubbery, they can generally get away with hard falls into the concrete. But the bones get brittle when you are over 50, so she broke a bone in her hand while bracing for a fall. I reminded her of a recent motorcycle accident I had where someone ran into me at a high rate of speed while I was just sitting there, merging into traffic. The accident totaled my very expensive motorcycle. The driver who hit me wasn’t looking for motorcycles and hit me at full speed. I watched her closely in my mirrors and determined that she would hit me, so I jumped off the bike head first just in time. I would have lost my legs from the impact if I hadn’t jumped off my bike. I broke my wrist just below the pivot joint to the hand when I hit. I instinctively popped it back into place because I couldn’t stand to look at it. And once the paramedics and all the police left the scene, the woman who hit me was crying in a massive panic. I assured her I was going to be alright. Her lawyer called me immediately to offer whatever assistance they could, and so did her insurance company. Nobody denied anything. They wanted to take care of me. I told them just to pay for the bike, and we’d call it a day. 

I probably could have obtained a lot of money for that accident because there was significant damage, and the lady who hit me was dangerously complicit. But I had a critical overseas conference call that I was late for with Spain, so I did the call, took care of the people I was working with, and I told the insurance people about my broken wrist but that I would wave any medical care on it. I would just fix it myself. I didn’t want any further delays to my life; I was busy and wanted to return to it. Once you enter the medical system, they want to live off your life, and I want nothing to do with what they offer. Anywhere the government has gotten involved in anything, it turns to crap. And health care is terrible. We could do so much better. I think we should have medical care as common as fast food restaurants, where if you want a hamburger, you can get one from McDonald’s instead of a 50-dollar hamburger at a nice restaurant, But you ultimately have a choice. Now with all the government interference in health care, it’s all garbage. Medicare is a scam, the pharma companies have the economics all rigged as fancy drug dealers, and it has ruined the entire industry by making people sick who otherwise would be healthy. Anything that involves the double snakes of the medical industry is something I avoid to the extreme because I consider going to them far worse. So when people say, “We need more government health care,” I say, “No, I’ll just do the care myself because those idiots working in it are dumb, slow, and incompetent, and I want nothing to do with them.” Just like everything else the government does, from public school to license bureau work. There is too much socialism and communism in health care and not nearly enough capitalism, and until they change that ratio, it will always be terrible.

Voter Integrity in Ohio with Frank LaRose: How Republicans win everywhere, and not just with swing voters

It’s not really a big secret, but it’s probably the most important thing in the world regarding elections. Yes, Ron DeSantis did wonderfully in Florida the second time around; the first time, he could barely squeak out a win. But after an excellent first term, DeSantis was awarded with re-election by a very wide margin. Yet as much as he may have deserved it, the massive voter turnout in his favor didn’t just happen. What the real cause of it was that DeSantis worked on the election laws in Florida and made it harder to cheat so that in that next election, some of the old Democrat tricks that are applied all over the country weren’t so easy to perform. And that resulted in more votes for him being counted against an essentially rigged system. Our elections have not been secure for a very long time, and the little talked-about secret is that the powerful know about it and have allowed it to continue because it keeps them in power. Yet, if elections were tightly controlled in America, unbiased, of course, Republicans would win a majority of the time everywhere, in state races, in federal races, both House and Senate, governors, and especially presidents. A lot of professional pundits will say that we are a 47 – 53 country where either Republicans or Democrats will trade those bottom and top numbers every time, that there will never be any more blowout elections because we don’t have that kind of country, we are split down the middle with independents determining election outcomes. That is hogwash; that’s what the cheaters want you to think. The reality is that election fraud makes us look like a 50/50 nation while we are a conservative-leaning nation quite dramatically. The Florida example is just one of them, and DeSantis, not through performance but through election reform, turned it from a purple state to a solid red MAGA state for Republicans. 

Ohio is another state that had been trending purple but has been heading solidly toward a bright red state. And as much as I’d like to say that candidates like President Trump and J.D. Vance were great, it’s not that they won over a bunch of swing voters to win; it’s that Ohio has a fantastic secretary of state in Frank LaRose, who has made it very hard to cheat during elections. I had a chance to listen to him directly talk about election integrity in Ohio, and I put some of the videos on this site to review. I’ve met Frank LaRose many times, but this latest time was interesting because what Ohio has been doing regarding election integrity is quickly becoming the template for the rest of the country going into the 2024 election. Republicans would be wise not to worry about the issues so much on this one because that’s not what is going to win elections. What will win elections, and give the House a supermajority in Congress, and give control back to the Republicans in the Senate and, of course, the White House, is more election security.  Frank LaRose has put his hands around this election integrity problem, and it has been showing. And he’s done it by pushing photo I.Ds on election day. Voting machines that have a paper receipt for cross verification, and by making it illegal to have any machine connected to the internet. And on early voting, which Frank LaRose has testified to in Pennsylvania, where they have had a trainwreck there, Ohio logs the entries as they come in, whereas, in places like Pennsylvania, they don’t touch them until after the election, which is why they are still counting ballots well past election day and can no longer give those results on election day. 

A great example of the difference in election integrity by having a great Secretary of State could be seen in recent supreme court elections. Wisconsin just lost a Republican seat to a Soros-backed radical. The same thing was brewing to happen in Ohio, but because of election integrity in Ohio, Sharon Kennedy was able to win as Chief Justice and avoid progressive interference on the bench the way it has now happened in Wisconsin. Because of loose election laws in Wisconsin, the extreme progressive Janet Protasiewicz was able to win, giving liberals the new majority, which many think could be dangerous in establishing better election laws for better voter integrity. That is the real game that is going on out there, and the best way to deal with it is by investing in good Secretaries of State who can do as Frank LaRose has in Ohio, and that is get control of the voting system and make it as fair as possible, and secure. And by doing that, the truth of American elections will become obvious quickly. Republicans will win almost everywhere and by a wide margin. Where election chaos is allowed, or even promoted, then, and only then, will Democrats be competitive. America is not a 50/50 country determined by swing voters. It’s more of a 60/40 country in favor of Republicans, and that becomes obvious when you force voting machines to be off the internet and have voter photo I.D. Once Frank LaRose became Secretary of State, we saw in Ohio that Ohio was no longer purple. It wasn’t just Trump; the margins were consistent for other races, with very similar results. And in Florida, it used to be that certain counties were always late in reporting, so they could see how much they had to cheat to push the Democrats over the top. But DeSantis made that action much harder; since then, we have seen better election day results. Not just because of the candidate but because it was more reflective of the vote totals of the actual demographics. Everywhere that better election laws are reformed to prevent cheating, it will quickly become evident that Republicans will perform far better everywhere than the previous national trends have indicated. And that’s the lesson for all the swing states, like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.

It should be noted that even with all the debate in Georgia between Brian Kemp and Stacy Abrams after Kemp enacted better election methods making it harder to cheat, his election against Abrams wasn’t even close. The same could be said in Texas with Beto O’Rourke. Many thought that Texas was turning from red to purple, but with some tightening of the election methods to make it more fair for voter representation and security to protect the integrity of the voter, a lot of these liberal radical challengers have fallen away. And that is a little secret that nobody has really been talking about on the nightly news. And the same trends would be seen all over the country, even in places like California and New York. People just aren’t that liberal, and Democrats have only been able to gain power because of election fraud, whether its illegal aliens voting, Democrat cities stuffing ballots without supervision, early voter tampering with Facebook manipulation, bad voter rolls where dead people are still voting, several times,  it has only been through cheating that Democrats have been able to keep election results close in their favor. But if states give themselves a great Secretary of State like we have in Ohio, like Frank LaRose, they will all see a margin swing in the Republican direction of around 12%. And by doing that simple thing, Republicans will win most of their races in head-to-head matchups with any Democrat; it doesn’t matter who it is. Voter integrity is the key, not so much the policy discussion. Before 2024, states need to follow what Frank LaRose has been doing in Ohio, and if they do, Republicans will win big everywhere.

A Good Friday To Remember: Anti-MAGA forces missed it completely

I have loved Good Friday for many years since I had a unique experience in Mexico, right in the middle of the Yucatan Peninsula. I don’t know that it was a life-changing moment so much as it was an affirmation of a lot of work on my part to learn something new. I had spent more than twenty years reading voraciously a number of subjects, and during one particular Good Friday, I happened to be at Chichen Itza in Mexico, a destination I had wanted to see for myself since I was a teenager. Prior to this trip, I never cared for Good Friday, the idea of Christ being killed by institutionalism has always bothered me, and it was not something I wanted to celebrate. I certainly didn’t like the Bible story that I was born a sinner, weak and meek by heritage, not by my own design, and that Christ needed to die for me so that I would not be locked into eternal persecution by a wrathful god, for all of existence. I always felt sorry for Jesus and had an intimate relationship with him after playing many roles in the Passion Play at my Church as a kid.   I felt I had a unique understanding of what Christ went through, and it never seemed fair to me. I always wanted the version of the story where Christ escaped from the cross and killed all his enemies and fed their flesh to the dogs while their harems of lovers cried over their dead carcasses. The idea of sacrifice was never OK with me, not in Christianity, and certainly not in other cultures, which is why my wife and I were in Chichen Itza studying the ruins there of a Mayan culture that had human sacrifice at the center of it, all day, every day. I had many questions, and I needed to visit the site to set things right in my mind about them.

After, my wife and I swam in a local cenote near the Chichen Itza complex, as it was very hot, and the cave water in the cenote felt great. It was crowded, it seemed as if everyone from the local town had the same idea since it was an impoverished region where people lived in literal thatched huts, so nobody had swimming pools. I had put some of the video from that trip into a little promo video I did for Sheriff Jones at the time dealing with illegal immigration for the Liberty Township Tea Party that shows some of the sights from this trip, referred to here. We got to know the Mexican people very well on that trip, well beyond the media cameras, and saw how those people lived, and it was interesting. I couldn’t help but respect how hard they worked and how much they loved their families. Later, after we had cooled off, we stopped by a tiny town for lunch, and we were stunned by a flash parade recreating the Passion Play, where the entire village came out to watch or participate. There were thousands of people involved; it was quite astonishing. Now I respected the Passion Play a lot because I had been in many of them myself, playing all the main characters, from Jesus to Pontius Pilot to Roman soldiers. So, I had seen more than my fair share of Passion Plays, and this one was magnificent. They had great costumes; they had a Mexican Jesus stripped nearly naked with blood covering him, carrying a cross, with very authentic Roman soldiers surrounding him, and mobs of people crying after the suffering of Jesus. The entire town had come to a stop to witness this epic occasion. Because we were in the process of getting food, we happened to be on a street corner with a front-row seat to witness the whole thing. And we really couldn’t move until it was over, so we watched respectfully.    

I never forgot that Passion Play on that particular Good Friday in Mexico, pretty far away from America and the news of the night. A collision had occurred with me regarding personal experience regarding the Church, many millions and millions of words that I had read about these topics, my keen interest in politics, which I was thinking about intensely since the terrorist Barack Obama had just been elected under very suspicious methods, and the Republican Party was trying to figure out how to win over people from Mexico and Central America to vote their way as conservatives rather than liberals. According to the Koch brothers, they had a plan, which we now understand as RINOs, moving more toward liberals than holding tight to conservative values. And I was far enough away from my regular everyday life to think about all these things on that street corner, watching a very real Passion Play in Mexico by people who had given up their previous worship of Mayan and Aztec gods for the gods of the conquering Spanish, Catholicism, and the worship of Jesus Christ which they embraced with great vigor. Until then, I had always thought of foreign immigrants who wanted to come to America as often more American than those born in the world’s greatest country but took it for granted. I found that foreign immigrants shared my Passion for America more than the native people, so I have always had a great relationship with people from all over the world who came to America for the Constitution and the opportunities that come with it. Specifically in Mexico and most places considered “third world” I found the people in those places still had a very close relationship to religion and their families, and I love that about them.

With all that in mind, just the other day, I saw a report indicating that Democrats were perplexed why so many Latinos were supporting President Trump and the MAGA movement and not coming to America and voting for Democrats the way that the political class in Washington, D.C. thought they would. And the answer is easy; Democrats had presented themselves as a bunch of godless heathens, which was not attractive to immigrants from Mexico and Central America. Seeing many of those people as I did on Good Friday should have been evident to everyone. But the professional pundits had got it all wrong, and President Trump showed himself to be respectful of strong families and religion. So, of course, once Mexicans immigrated to America, once they learned the various politics would support the MAGA movement. They didn’t want a free lunch; they wanted the respect of good work and a government that would get out of their way so they could raise their families, which they cared about intensely. It’s for all those reasons that even now, I get along much better with people from foreign countries than I do from my own backyard because the immigrants have a romantic idea of America that I share with them. Whereas the dope-smoking losers from the American education system have created a bunch of lazy, entitled babies that look to the Democrat Party to feed them without having to get up off the couch. And the Democrats seem surprised by all this. But I’m not. If you look at the political scene today, it is not a surprise that Latinos are moving toward Trump; the MAGA Republicans are now filled with people of color, and there are lots of very strong women who are just as tough as Trump. There is a lot of diversity that the RINO Republicans missed the boat on wholly, which is now the core of the party. And those are demos that the Democrats lost because they simply presented themselves as the kind of communists that many of those immigrants were running from. And when Democrats presented themselves as antagonistic toward religion, that was the end of that. That’s why this particular Good Friday in 2023 is special and unique. A long-hatched plan is finally coming together, and where the rubber hits the road in politics, religion is at the core of what the future will bring. And the anti-MAGA forces missed it completely.

Trump is the Alternative to Violence: The government essentially gets one more election before the powder keg blows

No, this isn’t how it works, where Republicans live within the rules and are peaceful while Democrats instigate violence and mobs against those they disagree with. There are two primary reasons for the creation of President Trump, which Fox News is still trying to figure out, and that is the fiscal recklessness of both parties in state and federal governments. But much more than that is the position on violence when threats arrive against ordinary people, and there is no representation to meet those threats. A perfect example of this just occurred, where a report on NPR radio obviously provoked trans people to go out and buy guns, which looks to have influenced the latest school shooting in Nashville. NPR could easily have been blamed for stoking the fires of that killing of six people. But then there was a picture released by the Trump campaign of the President holding a baseball bat with the District Attorney of New York in the other picture looking as if it was a threat against the law. Trump said the picture was taken from a “buy American” campaign and didn’t imply violence. But everyone pretty much took it that way because Alvin Bragg has been trying to get a grand jury to essentially indict a ham sandwich and torpedo the Trump run for President in 2024 by abusing the law and weaponizing the legal system for purely political purposes. Personally, if Trump had intended violence, I thought it was appropriate. But the rest of the world was apocalyptic about the picture, especially Brit Hume on Fox News, who said it was inconceivable that Trump could think he could get away with such a threat and still be President. It was funny to watch the reactions of these so-called political pundits. They are clearly off from the sentiment of the rest of the country, which brings up some very interesting topics that need to be understood by the political mood of our country presently. 

Trump is not the leader as Brit Hume and the Fox News people want to think the world operates. This anti-Rino trajectory has been going on since before Nixon was President. But the public, in general, never really got over the assassination of Kennedy by CIA involvement, then the same level of involvement and the extreme abuse of the judicial system that removed Nixon from office. Other than Ronald Reagan, who was never quite the same after an attempt on his life failed to kill him, all the rest of the years before and since have essentially been CIA assets influenced by foreign instigators who have insinuated violence against people who do not pick their people for leadership. Most people feel, to some degree or another, that our politics are corrupt, and they have been looking for fighters in their representative government to fight back against it. If it hadn’t been Trump, it would have been someone else. That trajectory has been going on for at least five decades, and those planning the destruction of America through all kinds of influences have not accounted for the real anger of the American people. They assumed that, like a flock of sheep, they would all just go to the slaughterhouse, and that’s clearly not what has been happening. People want to fight against corruption, and denying those types of fighters from being on the political stage was never going to work, just like denying free speech on social media platforms was never going to contain what people actually believed. The belief was that people could be controlled in such a way as people were controlled in China and Europe. But psychologically, those nations accept a level of political suppression that those born within America simply don’t have any expectations of maintaining. People have been patient and hopeful that our government can work if they elect the right people. They have not just gone into passive-aggressive mode as seen in other places around the world without an American Constitution, where corruption is assumed. 

Trump is an expert on branding and marketing, which is why he is the current pick of the people. He understands how they feel, which is why he feels it’s appropriate to push back against abusers of authority. That’s also why he was effective on the world stage. The world’s tyrants assume that their opponents will lie down and let them run all over them. There aren’t supposed to be any men left in the world like Trump, so they aren’t prepared to deal with one when they meet one. American voters get what’s going on in the world, even if it’s just superficially. And that is why Trump does what he does and is the leading candidate once again to be President. To answer Brit Hume’s question about how Trump could expect to win over more people to his side by advocating for violence against George Soros-supported district attorneys who have taken over our legal system and weaponized it, it’s very simple. People want to fight, and they expect their representatives to fight back. Obviously, many people like Brit Hume and the Fox News crowd still don’t understand the anger out there. People aren’t going to be destroyed like processed meat at the slaughterhouse. They will do it themselves if they don’t have fighters in their representative government. And Trump understands that market and offers himself as an alternative to violence. Not as a provocateur. 

Essentially this current government gets one more election before a powder keg is about to explode in America. Voters are willing to let politicians do political things so long as they have a job, bank account, and home. If those things are threatened, and the advocates of destruction show their teeth, then the American people are poised to punch them in the face and worse.   They aren’t going to put up with another rigged election that keeps a foreign asset like Joe Biden in the White House to perpetuate the destruction of our country and threatens those essential needs of Americans. If it is then realized that Americans don’t pick their own representatives in government by the masses, then the separation of belief and facts will spill over into a violent reaction. But it should never be expected that Antifa and leftist thugs helped by a government military are going to go door to door and impose their will on the American people for complete compliance. It didn’t work with mask mandates, and it certainly isn’t going to work on other things. And the political class does not rule over people in America. It represents people. And Trump represents people’s anger toward an out-of-control government. The political class should be grateful for the information. But controlling it, as Brit Hume and the Fox News crowd believes is possible, they are way off. The only satisfactory ending would be a positive outcome from this next election that all sides can believe in. Make sure there are reps available to count the votes and confirm the results, whatever they may be. But if people think they had a rigged election, and they end up with four more years of Joe Biden or some other Deep State asset in the White House, then people are going to be mad, and they’ll want to fight back another way. And that wouldn’t be good. The Deep State is not in charge. People want to rule themselves, and if they don’t have representatives who honor that relationship, then they will turn away from politeness, and things will take a turn away from law and order.  But justice will find another way to manifest in a social context.

Do You Know Someone Possessed by a Demon: They are a lot more common than most might believe

With all the evil that is obvious in the world, the question has been brought up a lot about the nature of demons and whether or not they are taking over people’s bodies, and if they were, how would we know?  This has been most discussed when explaining the behavior of a recent school board member who has shown a noticeable behavior change from campaign mode to actual board service.  The personality shift has been stunning, leading people to conclude that some other life form has taken hold of his body and is driving the car.  Which is precisely how I think demons work.  Our bodies are like the cars we drive.  The drivers of the car can change, but the car is a car; it ages, gets old, and eventually breaks down and stops running.  But when it comes to paranormal activity, I think quantum mechanics can largely explain it.  Then knowing that there are lifeforms in several dimensional realities, our own 4-dimensional space being just one of them.  Yet in them all, there are lifeforms in various manifestations teaming with activity.  And if they can take root in our reality by grabbing hold of a car to drive, such as one of our bodies, then they will do it and do it often.  We can all tell stories of people we know who behave differently when they drink or use drugs.  I would say this is what it’s like when there are multiple passengers in a car but only one driver.  If the driver lets go of the wheel or maybe even gets out of the car for some reason and a new driver takes their place, then you could see how there might be a behavioral change from one driver to the next. 

Listening to women talk about people is often very entertaining; they associate a personality with the biological DNA of a person they know or have been raising.  When they say to someone else, “oh, look, he has your mouth,” or “he has your eyes,” they are saying something we all do to a point, we identify a lifeform with the vehicle it inhabits.  There is to a body the biological codes that put it together, and we associate those mechanisms with a personality.  And to a large degree, people are what their biological makeup determines them to be.  Whether they are short-tempered, whether they are tall, short, smart, dumb, happy, or sad are all attributes that are genetically inherited.  And when a person dies, those traits are no longer useful and peel away into memory.  But because that’s what we see about a person, we tend to associate those attributes with them, so we often get confused when we witness a behavioral change in their personality.  When we see the same physical features, only they suddenly behave differently, as if someone else is driving those bodies, it upsets us because we thought we knew them.  I tend to think of people in their eternal aspect, the parts of them that are not associated with the biological devices of a body but are the drivers which reside there during a lifetime.  When you really get to know someone, you could be said to get to know their “soul” rather than just getting to know the person that was raised by so and so at a such and such address that became friends because of a birthday party when you were both five years old.  Those aspects of life are conditional based on DNA and the combination of those elements in a four-dimensional reality.  That life might contribute to a soul’s development, but the car’s driver is not the car.

I tend to think the push for intoxication and the abuse of bodies comes from competing lifeforms trying to sneak their way into a body by either pushing out the driver or convincing the driver that someone else could drive their car better.  By whatever means, once a driver surrenders their body to another lifeform, we can see then a noticeable behavioral difference.  The owner of the body might even still be in the body, but something else is clearly driving, especially under intoxicating circumstances.  I think there are a lot of lifeforms out there, some of them very jealous of our four-dimensional existence, and they would love to take over a person’s body and experience life as we do.  Is it appropriate to call these lifeforms demons?  I think so, and I think they are ubiquitous.  Do they take up permanent residence in a body, or is it just temporary?  Well, I think that varies depending on the need to drive the car and why they are there in the first place.  Maybe they are just joyriding in our dimensional reality.  Or perhaps they want to go somewhere and need a body to get there.  Or perhaps there is a massive interdimensional strategy that makes sense to their reality where influence over our reality makes sense to them.  What we call evil may be perfectly justified to them in their quantum realm.  That doesn’t give them the right to do what they do to us, but it may explain the desire to occupy bodies massively to destroy life in the way we observe. 

Yet we are born into our bodies, which are ours to keep.  We do not have to share them with other life forms.  And throughout life, there are many times when others would clearly like to drive our car because they like it and want one for themselves.  It’s up to us if we allow ourselves to be tricked into surrendering ourselves to their manipulation, and I think many gullible people get suckered in this way.  Sometimes it’s by choice, such as by allowing intoxication to unlock the doors for others to get into our car.  Sometimes it’s by blood, where ancient lifeforms might have known the DNA code of a family lineage and find themselves attracted to the driver of that car and want to reside within that car with the driver for as long as they can because it’s familiar to them.  And sometimes it’s just malicious; it’s a Grand Theft Auto kind of thing where they abuse their ability to jump in and out of other people’s cars and shove them out of the driver’s seat for a criminal-inspired joy ride.  There are many ways that other lifeforms can jump into our cars and drive our bodies without us realizing it or knowing it as observers, especially if we assume that the person we know is the biological thing we can see.

People are far more than just the cars that they drive.  And when it comes to observing the vast amounts of evil that we see today, yes, I think many of them are driven by demons.  And there are lots of demons at work, armies of them.  More than we could possibly ever count.  And their motives are likely as endless as an imagination could conceive.  But do they have a right?  Of course not.  Our bodies are our own, and we should guard them aggressively.  We should not take for granted anything about our lives, and we should treat our bodies just as greedily as we lock our cars when we park them somewhere, with utmost security.  We should be careful what kind of music we listen to and what we eat and drink.  We should be cautious about what we learn and share intimate details and with whom.  Because there are lots of reasons for demons to inhabit bodies, and as we see in reality, they often do, and with terrifying results.

“Trump Won” and They Know It: The truth revealed in the little town of Carrizozo, New Mexico

Nobody else could produce a song that would release to iTunes and beat out the contemporary artists in popularity. And that’s what happened with Donald Trump’s “Justice for All,” which has been number one in the country on the Apple platform, which is the new ranking list for modern music. iTunes, being the liberals that they are, found a way to sabotage the song by not offering it for a short period of time during the week of its number one run, and guess what, another song about Trump from Natashia Owens took its place and then became the new number one, it’s called “Trump Won.” And just like that, we are seeing something that I confirmed right after the last election, a new campaign strategy that sort of manifested all by itself, out of necessity, and truly represents the people of America. It doesn’t surprise me at all that anything with Trump’s name in the title will be very popular. My wife and I saw this for ourselves right after the 2020 election when we spent much of 2021 on the road in our RV, checking out most of the states in America, especially out in the desert. I needed to get away for a while and cool off, and what I learned is what we are seeing with these new smash hits on iTunes. People love the idea of Trump. After several years of not having him, they are poised to send a message to the political establishment and the Desecrators of Davos who control the music industry and entertainment in general. Something that no other Republican challenger could hope to do, and that is connect with the voters in such an intimate way. It’s a way that only Trump could produce, and it’s why he’s the leader of the Republican Party and will remain so no matter what. 

Elon Musk understands what all these further attacks against Trump will mean; the actions of the DA in New York attempting to put the former president in chains for the cameras to capture will set off a wave of anger that this country has never seen before. And for every musical artist looking to make a splash, putting Trump in the content is their ticket to success, which “Justice for All” and “Trump Won” clearly show. Trump doesn’t need to go out and raise money; he doesn’t need the mainstream news, the Fox News people, or MSNBC. He has plenty of supporters who are angry at the direction of their country, and the Deep Staters have crossed the line and do not have a plan for what they are witnessing. I didn’t talk about it much then, but this all became very clear to me while visiting the little town of Carrizozo, New Mexico. It’s a terribly poor town in the middle of nowhere, right where I wanted to be at the time. It was far from politics, and the town had tumbleweeds blowing across the road during a gentle afternoon that felt like nothing in the universe cared if the town had ever existed. It was my wife’s birthday, and we were looking for a hamburger to eat. The town was shut down due to Covid and the out-of-control liberal governor they had there at the time. But we found a speakeasy kind of restaurant that looked closed from the outside. As I peeked through a crack in the door, a little girl let me in, and I found a whole restaurant hiding in there, defying the mandatory shutdown. And they let us in to have a nice dinner. Most of the occupants had on Trump hats, and none of them were American. They were all Mexican, including the owners, and they were very MAGA supporters, so we started a conversation quickly and found we liked each other quite a lot. At that moment, I understood how deep the Trump MAGA movement had seeped into American culture. Over ten thousand miles on that particular trip, I had seen the same thing repeatedly, from Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, all over the south, up to Idaho, everywhere it was the same. Trump was their secret hope that the government could be brought under control and nobody else would do. 

This is why the January 6th prisoners are being so revered. It was after that January 6th event that I had made my decision to journey across the country in our RV. I felt like they did who raided the Capitol. I said at the time I didn’t see anything wrong with what had happened that day. It’s our government, not those of a bunch of loser globalists. People watched their government being stolen from them; their vote was ignored, the political process was rigged, and the judges didn’t have the guts to uphold the Constitution. People were mad. I was mad. I thought better of attacking anything and wanted to turn my attention to a real solution. I wanted to know if just a few radical Trump supporters saw what was happening as I did.  While on the road for that trip I wrote my latest book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business as a kind of strategy guide to deal with politics and business in this particular time.

Regarding the abusive relationship the government has had with the January 6th prisoners, there are so many Constitutional violations to them, most notably the 6th Amendment. We don’t have a country that exists for government; we are supposed to have a government that serves the people, which was not what we saw after 2020. So people reacted in frustration to varying degrees, but I have always supported the protests at the Capitol. I think the FBI, the CIA, members of Congress, and the Senate are lucky people were so civil. Now years later, we have seen what a set-up job much of J6 was, and a lot of people are still in prison for no good reason other than to hopefully deter further protests. When government no longer listens to people, what are people supposed to do, just conform? I don’t think so. 

I saw the heart of America in that little speakeasy restaurant in Carrizozo, New Mexico. It’s the same kind of people who are happy to get Trump singles on iTunes and why this election season is going to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen before in the history of the world. In that little hamburger joint, I saw a resiliency that would not be put back in the bottle. They do not like what has been happening in the American government and are willing to give the election system another chance. But they are angry. Very angry. When the Sheriff walked in to get a pickup order that day, we made eye contact and talked about the nature of life in America without saying a word. It was an open rebellion, and even the law was in on it. The Sheriff had a MAGA hat attached to his belt next to his gun as if to reassure himself that everything would be OK. He wasn’t going to shut down that restaurant; he was trying to help keep it open out of defiance of a corrupt government. This is why I didn’t talk about it after because I didn’t want to draw attention to it. But I was happy to be there, and I met people on that trip who clearly indicated the future of politics. And it’s not Ron DeSantis, or Nikki Haley, or Mike Pompeo. They are creations of MAGA. But there is only one person that those people will support: President Trump because Trump Won and We Know It. And so do they, which is why they are panicking now. They know what they did, and it’s time for the payback.

The Real Isaac Adi: ‘Thriller’ is alive and well at Lakota schools

The first thing I thought of when I heard Isaac Adi and watched the video of him laughing at me when Darbi Boddy brought up my name during a Lakota school board meeting was that a demon of some kind had taken over his consciousness. And that conclusion would match his behavior since the campaign the year before, where a very different person spoke to me, a very sincere and godly person who I would never think would behave in such a way. Many people don’t have room to think about those things, so making such a statement is a bit wild for them. But Isaac’s behavior toward Darbi and others as a school board member has perplexed many people regarding the change. He has been making fun of the opposition, who supported him initially; he’s been caught on camera pushing people around and losing his cool in embarrassing ways, and when confronted with evil, he has a severe reluctance to look at the truth. He has been especially caught on the premise that there is no CRT in Lakota schools because the nice old teachers say there isn’t any CRT.   Surely he’s not naive enough to believe they have been telling him the truth and that they have been playing him for a sucker by hiding it in plain sight. That’s why Darbi went to look for it on her own; she didn’t trust what people were telling her. Both of these new school board members were people of God when they started, but only Darbi has been able to rely on that faith as a backstop for her convictions. Isaac, from the start, seemed too enchanted by the soothsaying of the opposition, which then became grotesquely obvious during that school board meeting when the person I saw on stage was nothing close to the person I had come to know during the campaign.

A lot of people had asked me since that school board meeting if my feelings were hurt by the way people laughed when my name was brought up. After all, I have been good friends with Lynda O’Conner, the school board president. Frequent phone buddies are more like it, and hugs when we see each other at political events, more than just casual acquaintances. To see her play along with the mob of laughter would be hurtful to many people, and that was the hope people had that I would be devastated at the social rejection on such a big stage. Then there was Isaac, a guy I have said so many good things about and had such high hopes for, leading the charge on stage. I remember taking a picture of him and Jim Jorden at a big event with the GOP, and he was such a happy and optimistic guy with such great faith in God and the good he could do with the community. Of course, my political enemies would assume that I’d be devastated, embarrassed, and hurt beyond repair to see a good person like Isaac joining the dark side and becoming like Michael Jackson in the famous video Thriller as one of them.

Just another member of the zombie apocalypse. The nice guy, the man of God being pulled into the woke mob of anti-Christ warriors, colored hair, upside down crucifixes and all, and abortion supporters who deep in their hearts want to have a mass social sacrifice to the biblical God Baal whose soul-eating hunger cannot be quelched with logic, or consensus building. It was almost as if they were saying to me, look what we have done to your good people. And when they laughed at Darbi and at me, it seemed most appropriate to look to the jealous malice of the spirit world for the true intentions and detect their plot to convert good people into agents of destruction intent to spread evil to every crevice of our lives for the ill scheme to make maniacal lunatics out of all the world. But rather than be angry about it, I found the information extremely valuable. I’d rather know the truth about people than not, and in such formats, there is a lot that can be learned, which nobody would know if Darbi hadn’t brought up my name. What you see might hurt because you desire good things for them. But when you are trying to figure out motives under pressure, then there was a lot valuable that was revealed during that meeting.

Yes, I believe very much in demons, devils, villains from the 8th dimension, and characters of malice that reside in the back of our minds who are at war for our souls. But you can’t discuss them in a modern context without the veil they use to hide behind, making you sound like an insane person for talking about them logically. Instead, we have invented the field of psychology to explain these things away in a way that the Liberal World Order has deemed appropriate, which is acceptable in a case like this and just as effective. But for those curious, yes, demons and malicious spirits are very real things that most people believe in once they quiet their minds. And some people are more prone to attacks by them based on bloodlines, from their ancestors who may have been host to demonic spirits hundreds or thousands of years in the past. Those same characters look for those blood types and seek them out as hosts, completely unsuspecting. The host may not know such characters are guiding them, but to the outside world, it’s as obvious as the sun at noon on a beach in Florida without a cloud in the sky. But for this case, the psychological explanation will suffice to explain what has happened to Isaac Adi. It’s the desire to be liked by your peers, which is the classic gateway that governs so much evil in the world, that we see at fault for the conditions we have witnessed at Lakota. 

It’s easy to fall in love with the people you are working with and managing, and good managers learn to think beyond such impulses. At the same time, inexperienced managers hope that they can control people through friendships and favors. And school board members are managers of their school districts. So it’s to be expected that when positions of power are acquired, every loser, sexually deviant, lazy, overpaid psychopath will seek the favor of the new power, which Isaac won during that election. But in that moment of insecurity during the initial day and year of such a service, it’s easy to fall in love with all these new friends who suddenly want to appease you. And to keep that feeling from going away, you stop looking at the truth that might bust that bubble of goodness at suddenly being such a popular character doing important work in the world. This is precisely how the OSBA teachers and school board members build consensus in community settings. They get so good at it that they don’t even realize that they do it to all the relationships in their lives, not just the professional ones. And when those relationships are standing in the way of good management of a taxpayer asset, then we should all be concerned. But to put it simply, to allow peer pressure to make rational decisions based on friendship and sentiment is the path of evil. People inexperienced in these kinds of things tend to fall for them. And I’m not inexperienced. So what Isaac did wasn’t a surprise. It is valuable to know what a person can take and how they function in a social setting. What their motivations are during a behavioral change? And what we saw at that meeting on March 6th, 2023, was necessary. Hurt has nothing to do with it. But the truth is all that is interesting, and we saw plenty of the truth, for which we can then make decisions based, which is very valuable to know.

Only strong and resolute people can withstand the evil of the “Thriller.”

Fighting the Jab in Batavia, Ohio: Becoming part of the solution as Beverly Welbourne is leading the way

This is how it’s going to be for a long time. I had an excellent talk with Beverly Welbourne, a Ph.D. level expert on oriental alternative medicine, on the topic of shedding as a direct result of the Covid vaccines. It was more than obvious what the world of tomorrow would look like. Failing everywhere are the relics of the professional class, the network of liberalism that was shaped long ago to make up the components of the Liberal World Order, as Joe Biden referred to its potential collapse early in his administration. Their fear is real because, as a direct reaction to the imposition of that Liberal World Order, many people like Beverly have formed to fill in the gaps of failure and have exercised their freedom to apply self-reliance to their lives to avoid the shortcomings of institutionalism. And we see that effect on several fronts, especially in government medicine and public schools. Even as public education options continue to increase, with parents looking for alternatives to government schools and their many failures, government medicine has been an even worse disaster, which was most noticeable during Covid and the strategy of applying “the jab” as a reaction to the manufactured virus outbreak where the government essentially has become the drug pusher for Big Pharma. And those unfortunate enough to have been lured into taking “the jab” continue to see negative aftereffects. Statistically, premature deaths are up across the world; people are dying much younger than we would typically associate such a negative ailment, and the aftereffects of shedding are permeating even two years after the covid jabs were applied to people. 

Beverly explained to me that there is an upcoming meeting in Batavia on March 16th, 2023, at 7:15 PM at the County Engineer’s Office where her group is forming to meet with local politicians, mayors, commissioners, and health policy administrators to encourage them to do what is happening all over the nation. As we were talking, there was a report out of Florida in Collier County to ban the jab, and they have aligned with Lee County to the same effect. All over the United States, there is this push to eliminate the government policy of applying pressure to anybody in pushing for “the jab” as a strategy for dealing with Covid. Nobody knows much about this virus and the medicine the government has applied to deal with it. On all fronts, it has been a failure that the Liberal World Order has been very slow to admit to. It’s embarrassing for them, and they are dragging their feet in recognizing their role in the liability. So there are pockets of activism like what Beverly is involved in that are providing open resistance to these imposing government policies, and led mainly by local branches of the Republican Party, they are showing success at getting a political alliance to join in solutions, which start with eliminating “the jab” as a strategy to deal with the manufactured virus that was released from the Wuhan lab in China. In Batavia, they have a health administrator that is about to get a renewal on her position, and she has been “pro jab” from the beginning. They are pushing for replacing that position which will be addressed at this meeting. Apparently, to participate, you don’t have to be a local resident, but you could come from all over the country to express your feelings on this important matter. And the results are starting to show up in pockets like the Collier County example in Florida. 

Beverly Welbourne is also collecting stories on people’s miseries regarding Covid, the vaccines, and the resulting shedding cases that are a big problem for way too many people. So she encourages anybody with such stories to provide them to her so she can adequately chronicle those ailments in a way that the medical community would like to avoid. As with everything built by that Liberal World Order, the Administrative State that I mention all the time, which is essentially the weapon of the Deep State, people are establishing themselves as decentralized critics of those control mechanisms and exercising options in their lives to offset the sinister effects of that social failure. Government medicine is just as much of a disaster as government schools, the alignment of the Fed with our country’s financial building blocks, and the primary application of order in a society corrupted with social constructs that show massive outbreaks of violence in society as a result of the government trying to replace good parents as the primary instructional tool for social development. We don’t have to put up with these failures and accept their results. And it takes a lot of Beverly Welbourn’s out there to shake loose that evolving structure and to tell those stories that the Administrative State would otherwise avoid. There is nothing that they fear more than to have a bunch of people in these local communities, such as this upcoming Batavia event and these examples in Florida than to have people show up and let it be told their stories of devastation as a result of this government-mandated disaster that has become Covid. The first step in taking back your life from such impositions is to let someone like Beverly tell your story and get you pointed in the right direction as an alternative to the government mandates and peer pressure that has been applied to innocent people as a result of bad Covid policy.

Everyone initially knew that there were significant problems with the Covid vaccinations. There were going to be side effects that would be harmful to people. Yet the government pushed the medicine on the public anyway. There are major liability issues with this “jab” policy that many politicians just don’t have the heart to admit to until they are forced to. Events like this upcoming meeting in Batavia get things moving on that front but don’t expect massive news coverage. It will take a rebel media like this site to get the word out. Because all the affiliates of that Liberal World Order are in on the guilt of that liability, and by covering the stories, they will reveal themselves guilty of serious crimes and dangers that people have experienced even years after the shots were first applied. And the last thing they want is for people to get together with Beverly as a resistance to the “jab” policies and the government’s role in pushing it on the public. No government action will come to the rescue to save people from the dangers of Covid.

We will have to do it ourselves, just like most everything else, from publishing to medicine, education, and even economics. Government, by its nature, is prone to failure, and we have a lot of work to do on many fronts to correct that tendency. Working with the government to manage the government is the best option, and that is what this meeting in Batavia intends. But blind trust in that government to do the right thing is a fantasy at best. Left to their own devices, they will sell out to Big Pharma and become the mask of compliance to policies set by Pharma to use the government as their drug dealers. And that’s when innocent people get hurt in devastating ways. This is why Beverly is looking for help in fighting this issue in Batavia, Ohio, in a movement that is growing across the nation and is the best hope for corrective action moving into the future regarding the many government blunders of Covid and its relationship with Big Pharma, and all known consequences, from the beginning.  

Here are the directions and time for the meeting:

The Clermont County General Health District Advisory Council will hold its annual meeting on Thursday, March 16, 2023, in the conference room of the Engineer’s Office, 

2381 Clermont Center Drive, Batavia, Ohio 45103.   This is a public meeting and is scheduled for 7:15 PM.

Beverly Welbourne email: bjwelbourne@hotmail.com

Phone number: 513 489 9777

People can contact Beverly if they have questions about the meeting or a vaccine or shedding story that they are willing to share (whether or not at this meeting)

The Best Thing to Happen to Lakota: What success sounds like

I would have never been involved in the last election for school board members if Lynda O’Conner hadn’t asked me to. My kids are grown, my grandkids are being homeschooled, and I think public education is a trash heap anyway. You should join my Thanksgiving Dinners sometime and listen to us talk about politics. My kids likely will homeschool their kids all the way through graduation, we all despise it so much, and we hate the people even more.   Bible verses come to my mind a lot these days, given the amount of evil that is showing itself in the world, and this one from  Isaiah 49:26  states my feelings about the matter pretty well “And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I am the LORD.” Public schools are oppressive places filled with vile, evil people, and spending one cent of my tax money on them angers me greatly. It took Lynda over seven years to earn my trust enough to have something beyond a polite conversation, and in that process, I came to think that she might be able to help the public school system in some small way, which is always worth doing. I watched some of the school board meetings where other board members would gang up on her because she was the only conservative, and I wanted to help her. So I worked with her during the 2021 election, and Isaac Adi and Darbi Boddy were found and elected to the board, and Lynda then had a conservative majority, and I hoped that Lakota would improve into something functional. 

Make sure to tune into the 2-hour and 18-minute mark.

So it was a painful experience to watch Lynda immediately turn on Darbi Boddy in the way that she did and turn into everything I don’t like about public schools. It was ironic to watch the Lakota school board work so hard to get rid of Darbi because they simply didn’t like her by trying to force her to resign over an accidental porn link while communicating legitimate information to the public. Then to have Lynda end up with the same problem within a year, and to have those same school board members who were working against Lynda while Brad Lovell was the board president, into defending her as a sister. We were told that when it came to Darbi, porn links on websites were bad. But when it came to Lynda, it was an accident that wasn’t a big deal. And that is the kind of thing that I don’t like about public schools, where adults who have lived bad lives try to live through their children and play a make-believe game that if only the community would spend just a few more dollars on educating children, that everything in the world would be better. And up until this year, I thought that if good people were involved in school boards, maybe things could work in public education. But I have arrived at similar conclusions as one public speaker at the most recent March 6th meeting, Jamie Minniear, did at a school board meeting. Jamie took the emotion of the year and expressed it, I think, in a way worth noting, which I found reflected my thoughts as well. It’s hard to care about people in politics, but it happens, and that pain can’t be easily contained, which is evident in Jamie’s public statements:

“Lynda-I wasn’t sure how to best communicate my thoughts to you at this point. The lack of response to my many questions over the months, combined with your greeting me at Republican meetings in recent weeks as if all is well, is what prompted me to come here tonight. So much that has happened over the last couple of years with you, in particular, has been difficult to swallow. To say you have been dishonest is an understatement-in fact, I can’t think of anything you have been transparent and honest about. This started with you not supporting parent authority during COVID, then the Matt Miller disaster where you withheld public record requests, violated the 1st amendment by disallowing public comments about Mr. Miller, and in a shocking close to the string of dishonesty, in the face of you reading the superintendents admission to 1) having a sexual fantasy conversation about 3 Lakota students, and 2) his admission to publically advertising his wife to other men for sex on Craigslist-with that alarming information in hand, you said calmly at the November 21st board meeting – “… the board of education’s highest priority is the safety of its students, these claims against Mr. Miller were found to be false by multiple agencies,” Mrs. O’Connor, I ask you, how are the claims false when they are confessed to by Mr. Miller? Then, during that same statement, you went on with a celebration of Mr. Miller by saying, “the board would like to express its full support for Mr. Miller – Mr. Miller is an is an excellent leader in our district, and he is a shining light in Ohio.” How do you, with any sense of morality and respect for Lakota and the community, lift Mr. Miller up and celebrate him like a hero with Mr. Miller’s vulgar confession in one hand and the microphone in your other? You never discussed Mr. Miller’s confession. You first tried to hide it, then ignored it. But here’s the problem. When someone withholds and ignores information, it is a suppression of truth – this is lying. You withheld and ignored Matt Miller’s gross confessions. You lied to the community. In regards to the email you sent me yesterday trying to convince me not to come tonight. You are right about scripture saying go to a brother if you have a grievance with him. But there’s a second part to the scripture. Matthew 18:15-17 If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him—work it out between the two of you. If he won’t listen, take others along so that the presence of witnesses will keep things honest, and try again. I and many others have come to you individually, as scripture says, but you’ve done and said nothing. Tonight, is the second part of scripture which is bringing it out in front of others to have an account of the issue and keep things honest. Finally, with no attempt on your part to bring clarity or honesty to what happened, I’m asking you to discontinue greeting or engaging with me in public. I’m not interested in pretending all is well.”

I did this a few years ago, and it’s still very relevant, especially on this matter. Cliffhanger is my fast-draw shooting name at competitions.

Matt Miller was probably the best thing to happen to Lakota; I agree with many apologists on the matter. We are a better community because of Matt Miller. But not because of his work at the school but because of the network of sexual swingers, radical liberals, tax increase supporters, and outright villainy that was uncovered; as a result, going from our sheriff’s department to our school board and all the lawyers in between. As a community, we learned a lot, but more than anything, we have been confronted with a kind of evil that has always worked in the background, and we wonder why our kids grow up destroyed and unable to function in the real world. Look at their parents. And in many ways, the Matt Miller controversies brought all this to the surface and showed people to be what they always were, which leads to always tax increases to fill the financial voids of their empty lives. This is something that went far beyond simple political matters and moved into the struggle of life and death itself and the role of goodness or evil on earth in conflict over a simple curriculum. And when we are told that there is no CRT or that highly liberal and political teachers aren’t sexually grooming kids, it’s coming from the same people who told us that Darbi was bad for accidentally linking porn on her website but that Lynda was good because she had porn on her website for two months because the domain expired and nobody noticed. Both were accidents, but one was deemed bad by the established system, by the same people, yet everything was fine when it came to Lynda. Just as they told us, there was nothing to the Matt Miller story, even as we read it with our own eyes in the police report. 

Rather than get emotionally discharged over all these slaps in the face, I have been reminding people that this is an election year, and Lynda is up for consideration. Obviously, it will take more than just putting conservatives on the school board to fix anything and to make what our tax money is spent on just a little better. It’s going to take actually good people, and in my view of the world, Darbi Boddy does that. I would love to have four more on the school board like her. But this election will be different; it won’t just be about names on a Republican slate card or even a party endorsement. This is literally a fight between good and evil. People who would lie to our faces, manipulate our trust, and then carry that sentiment over into the education of children as if they were too innocent to see how the adults are really behaving. If we want to have even a bit of hope for the future of children, then the adults have to start behaving much better. And what we have seen coming from the Lakota school board over this last year has been bad, and kids are smart enough to understand why. It wasn’t Darbi Boddy who lied to the public and misrepresented herself. She is only guilty of not playing the game because she ran on a platform of not playing games. Because games are expensive and they don’t help educate children. But the hurt regarding Lynda is that many people wanted to help her do good things at Lakota, and in the end, she pushed away her supporters and was supported most by those who worked against her. And that level of betrayal is a timely enterprise because it happened when it counted most, during an election year, so people can now at least make a clear choice without a lot of friendly emotions getting in the way. We have seen the truth, and now we have an obligation to act on it. Which we will. 

It is always an honor to be hated by these kinds of people. If they like you, then you should worry.
Watch Isaac Pander to the Mob. Always judge people by what they do, not what they say

Regarding the 2-hour and 18-minute mark of the March 6 Lakota school board meeting video, it is easy to see what we are dealing with.  When my name was brought up, several people asked me how it felt to have people laughing at me during this meeting.  I replied in every instance that I was very honored to have those people feel so strongly.  Those types of personalities, such as the person pictured with the “removedarbiboddy.com” shirt, are what have infested these public schools with so much terrible behavior.  I thought Isaac’s reaction was interesting, especially after all the times he thanked me for all the nice words I sent in his direction.  But watching him in that format and actually leading the crowd says everything anybody needs to know.   There are the things that people say to get elected.  Then there is what they do to stay in favor of the mob.  And make no mistake about it; the mob is in charge at Lakota schools and all public schools.  Wanting to be liked by the mob is how we lose people like Isaac and Lynda to them.  So it is great to see someone, Darbi Boddy, sit in the middle of that mob and show such resilience.   And by doing what she has, we see more people following in that lead and ultimately changing the culture at Lakota into something that those laughing will be forced to take a lot more seriously.
