Restoring Masculinity in the Trump White House: Taking on Arnold Schwarzenegger to save the world from itself

Forgetting about partisan politics and other modern definitions to ancient things I remember vividly a Joseph Campbell lecture I heard many years ago about the sad state of the destruction of male oriented institutions. Campbell spoke to his fans, many who were bleeding heart liberals from California universities who were fully behind the feminist movement—yet the old mythology professor spoke about the sensitive subject anyway wondering what might happen to the United States, and Europe if masculinity was stripped away from our cultures and replaced with something which didn’t celebrate the sexes and their differences. Many years later he would be proven right to bring up the topic, because at the core of most liberal protests and value systems in this modern age is a dire hatred of masculinity leaving men from those viewpoints to be desperately seeking meaning within themselves as they grow into maturity. Most cultures around the world have built into their mythologies very specific roles for men and women to do together as the primary concerns of sex and food dominate our minute to minute thoughts throughout our waking hours—and those societies are successful. For instance, you just don’t think of belly dancers from Morocco that are men. And you would never have a male Geisha in Japan—at least not openly accepted. That would kind of ruin the point of what their role is in those societies. Men traditionally bring war and aggression to social tapestries whereas women softness and reassurance—and thus we have a dance which advances humankind both with procreation, respectful maturity, and philosophic advancement. One of the worst things to have ever happened to the United States was the integration of women into male roles in a pursuit of equality which in the beds of married couples—neither really wanted.

Thankfully, masculinity is back in style with Donald Trump in the White House and what he’s doing to restore these traditional roles between the sexes may have far more impact on American culture than any enforced rule or legislation proposed. And I am pretty sure Trump is aware of what he’s doing and why. For instance, he picked a fight with Arnold Schwarzenegger during an annual prayer breakfast this week which book ended several contentious calls with world leaders over the phone that was being leaked to the media. Arnold Schwarzenegger is of course an internationally recognized actor who represents the baseline activity for the world as to what “maleness” is. So Trump being the ultimate alpha male wanted to make sure that everyone knew that the new definition of maleness is in the White House, not on the silver screen—so Trump is challenging the basic assumption of masculinity by picking on Arnold Schwarzenegger for the world to see.

In a legal setback for the Trump Administration, a federal judge in Washington State issued a temporary restraining order against President Trump’s immigration order, putting the entire program on hold, as the legal fight intensified against the President’s efforts to temporarily keep both refugees and citizens of seven predominantly Muslim nations out of the United States. As the judge proudly issued his challenge to Trump’s executive order you could see the body language of the man protect more than legal integrity—it was the hope that the masculinity which propelled Trump’s swift decision might be upheld by modern progressivism. Which it won’t.

“The state met its burden in demonstrating immediate and irreparable injury,” said Federal Judge James Robart, who was appointed to the bench by former President George W. Bush.

In his ruling, Judge Robart said states are being harmed by the immigration restrictions.

“In addition, the States themselves are harmed by virtue of the damage that implementation of the Executive Order has inflicted upon the operations and missions of their public universities and other institutions of higher learning, as well as injury to the States’ operations, tax bases and public funds,” Judge Robart wrote.

The Judge also spelled out a series of orders to insure that federal immigration officials observe his ruling, which many expect to be appealed. Although, those observations won’t hold a glass of water, and the immigration ban will resume—as it should.

As that story was breaking Friday February 3^rd another one was emerging from the Hollywood Reporter about how Donald Trump has encouraged his staffers to “dress like a girl.” As word spread many thousands of women put images of themselves on Twitter dressed in various important jobs mocking Trump’s old fashioned sense of femininity. Sadly, the many angry remarks from women toward Trump’s implied dress code stem from the same anger that drove the lunatics in the recent Women’s March around the world to their activism. While the women were protesting at that march the image of what a woman should be as defined by modern politics, many men were at home happy to be rid of such pains in their ass as many were unhappy to have such loud mouths in their lives bitching about every little thing. Thus, this is what the liberal left has done to womanhood—turned them into perpetual chatterboxes that want to look like ugly men and complain about everything—instead of being graceful gateways into the better parts of human hood—as they have traditionally been in countless goddess motifs. Publications like The Hollywood Reporter and The Huffington Post are feeding this frenzy of image which runs counter to our biological instincts—yet Trump doesn’t back down from any of it in the least.

As the world attempted to gather itself to stand up to Donald Trump and the image of raw maleness that he represents boldly and without apology—the President met with his wife for the first time since the inauguration on the tarmac at the Palm Springs airport where Air Force One delivered him to Melania as she was dressed in a hot red dress with a skirt over the knees looking very elegant. No human being male or female could deny that the First Lady wasn’t a stunning beauty defined by every human attribute which has decided such things for many millennia and Trump understood that just by walking with her for a weekend retreat smacked back all his critics of that particular day with his mere existence and the exasperation of his enemies followed. Trump wasn’t just enforcing laws that needed to restore America back to its rightful place as a leader of the of the world—he was restoring masculinity to the grateful sighs of many women who have been hiding in the shadows with their 50 Shades of Grey novels bought at Wal-Mart hoping for their own version of a prince to rescue them from the feminazies of progressivism. For them just watching Melania walk with her husband with Air Force One in the background was enough to inspire hope in a return to masculinity—where men don’t cry like babies over every little bit of spilled milk, where men defend their women as recognition that the birth of entire families comes from the beautiful gifts of our American women, and that men actually grow up with something to fight for because they want to retain the unique sentiments that only come from the approval of a woman they respect and want to sleep with in a bed. Behind The Hollywood Reporter ranting on the topic and the feminized Washington judge are hopes that Trump’s work toward restoring masculinity to American society will fail. But as Trump knows, as his enemies run to put on one fire burning away the liberal influence on our most basic human relationships—he starts another far away spreading their efforts far and wide until the can do nothing in response due to their sheer exhaustion but break windows in the streets and dress in black to hide their identities as they scream for communism.

When Arnold Schwarzenegger had a baby with his maid his career was over. People, mostly males, understood immediately what that meant—the woman was a very average person and if Schwarzeneggar truly was an essence of masculinity his mistress would have been someone much more beautiful. That’s not to say the lady didn’t have value, but to have a child with such an average women when Arnold was supposed to be the essence of masculinity—then it was clear that someone was lying about their public image. After all Maria Shriver who used to be married to Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn’t too bad, she was attractive, a member of the Kennedy family and a television host—so she had a lot going for her. It was an honor for her to marry someone she felt was the best pick of the male litter—Arnold Schwarzenegger—a muscleman from across the pond with great charisma, a lot of money, and a potential governor of California. But Arnold couldn’t translate all that image into reality and his wife left him as he had sex with someone of his own personal value system and they had a child. Schwarzenegger’s proclamation to the world was that he was just an actor and that he really suffered from many insecurities and sought the arms of his maid to reassure him of his values—which was a big letdown for many men around the world.

So Donald Trump’s calculated attack on Schwarzenegger went further than a little revenge for the movie actor not supporting him during the presidential campaign where Arnold supported the liberal John Kasich instead. It was to attack the grip that Schwarzenegger had on the institution of maleness—and to take it back so that Hollywood didn’t define that image any more, but that it came from the Executive Branch. And by doing that, Trump performed a brilliant move as he came out against Israeli settlements paving the way for negotiates with Palestine, and slapped sanctions on Iran for launching a missile in defiance of United Nations proclamations, or chastised Russia for incursions into Ukraine—Trump was reclaiming manhood which is a universal understanding that extends well beyond political definitions. And from there he has plans to restore masculinity to the human race in ways that were not even possible a month ago. Because what’s been missing from all these negotiations with world leaders has been the threat of masculinity supported by a goddess from heaven and performing as such. Men and women at the bargaining table knows that when a woman like Melania walks with a man like Trump on an airport runway that there is power in the matchup that defies what is taught in schools. And when Trump sits down with them to negotiate nuclear arms, or state boundaries, or even the distribution of refugees from around the world—it is masculinity which gives the edge toward victory in almost every case. Trump took that honor away from Hollywood’s last symbol of masculinity and put it on his mantel proudly as a declaration to the world—masculinity had returned to the United States and it was coming for them.

The Hyperloop Competitions at SpaceX: Let’s make this happen!

Although the political left does not like Donald Trump as president including Elon Musk, (who I think is a wonderful person) I would have never entertained an idea like the Hyperloop before the Trump inauguration. Now after the first week of Donald Trump’s presidency the Dow closed at over 20,000 for the first time and many big ideas started moving forward, then the wonderful company of SpaceX hosted the Hyperloop competition in Los Angeles at their facility inviting colleges and engineering organizations from around the world to compete with designs of their own fresh perspectives in a very capitalists manner. The Hyperloop is a radical transportation innovation that is wonderfully revolutionary. When I was a kid I had something I played with like this design called Rocket Tubes for the Micronaut toy line. Now under the sponsorship of Elon Musk the reality of Rocket Tubes is coming to life and taking its next evolutionary step. Prototype designs have been gathered at SpaceX during the weekend of January 28^th and 29^th to see which works best in head to head competition. Before Donald Trump’s presidency I couldn’t see any path forward for these liberal leaning dreamers—but under Trump’s presidency and perhaps his daughter Ivanka taking over in the years to come to keep continuity in the White House—Hyperloop as a transportation device may happen on a large continental scale.

http://www.spacex.com/hyperloop

Hyperloop is essentially a large rocket tube that allows passengers to travel at around 1000 miles per hour inside. That means travel to Disney World in Orlando from Cincinnati would be one hour from a Hyperloop station in theoretical Monroe in the northern suburbs to the Kissimmee station at the gates to the famous theme park. There are already plans for a Hyperloop line from Columbus, Ohio to Chicago, which would only take 30 minutes of travel time. There is another proposal for a line from Columbus to Pittsburg in less than 15 minutes. So for Ohio residents wanting to attend a Steelers game, just get on the Hyperloop and you’ll easily be in Pittsburg within 15 minutes. It takes longer to walk across a parking lot once you’ve parked at a stadium. But first there are thousands upon thousands of engineering feats that have to be invented and that is the purpose of the Hyperloop competitions mentioned at SpaceX. As you are reading this just click the link above and you can see what’s left of them since most of my readers are on the east coast and will still have time to view the last entries of the day at that link.

In my old toy Rocket Tubes there was a large compressor that injected air into the tubes to move a little Micronaut man in a capsule through the tubes on a bed of air. The compressor filled the tubes with airflow that actually overtook the weight of the capsule holding the man. I played with that thing for hour and hours year after year. I think I got the toy around 10 or 11 and it still worked when I got my first car at 16. I loved it because it appeared to be a vision into a world of tomorrow. Now the Hyperloop is that next generation of thinking and instead of just using compressed air to create a bed of air to ride on, the vehicles are expounding on the levitation magnets used in other high-speed rail around the world. But, the Hyperloop technology further utilizes the removal of that air to create a close simulation to the vacuum of space to take away that wall of resistance that would otherwise build up at the front of the vehicle. That is how the speeds can be so extremely fast. Inside the car even at such high speeds you could sit as you would a train with a little drink on a table in front of you and watch the world literally go by outside at a 1000 miles an hour—and your drink wouldn’t spill. Pretty cool.

As I’ve said about the sky car projects that are now becoming a quick reality which will take traffic to the air as opposed to ground congestion through major cities—having a Hyperloop line would be a tremendous asset—particularly for the shipping industry. It would really benefit DHL, FedX, and Amazon by getting products from the west coast to the east in the same day as opposed to the expense of flying it against the weight restrictions of air travel. And many of the Hyperloop lines could exist along existing highway routes—that big grassy area that sits between north and southbound lanes, or east and west, could easily hold a Hyperloop line without disturbing property owners with new acquisitions of property to get a nice network across the country within a short period of time—a decade or so.

Around the world I can think of fine examples of how the Eurostar has greatly helped transportation in Europe, which I plan to visit very soon to see for myself. And then there is the bullet trains in Japan which I have some personal history with. For instance I was meeting people for dinner recently in Kobe, Japan who were from as far south as Himeji. I was staying at the Oriental Hotel and was meeting at the Ikuta Road steakhouse for dinner. By highway Himeji was about an hour to the south so I was emailing my guests as they were about to board the bullet train thinking that I’d get to the dinner location way ahead of them–after all I had a driver picking me up as I was heading to the elevator and from there the drive was only about 5 minutes. By the time I made it down to my car, spoke to a few people, drove down all the one way roads to arrive at the steakhouse, my guests were there, very relaxed and unhurried. Those same people could easily get up to Tokyo for a night out by the same means, the train works very well in Japan—and its fast. I’m not big on big mass transit projects and traditional rail is just too slow and cumbersome. But when it comes to the examples listed there are times when it’s just the right thing. The Hyperloop would be the next generation of these transportation systems and could let us take advantage of great distances for further economic expansion.

Before Donald Trump the cost of the Hyperloop would have been prohibitive. With 20 trillion in national debt and a world spinning out of control economically with China controlling all the chess pieces, there wasn’t much chance of the Hyperloop getting funded in America. Too much regulation and bureaucratic red tape would have stood in the way. Its one thing to dream of these things at SpaceX but quite another to get politicians to see the reason to fund it—the political will just hasn’t been there. For instance, the Eurostar was privately funded, but it is still upside down and shows no sign of recovering the cost because there just isn’t any way to have enough people travel on it per day to justify the enormous cost of digging under the English Channel and building all the infrastructure to make it happen. It’s a technical marvel—but was entirely too expensive for two economies that have been stagnant for years—the socialist country of France and the heavily restricted economy of England. But in the United States with a projected economic expansion rate of over 5% with Trump’s policies, there may be a huge chance to pay down our debt, and actually come out ahead for the Hyperloop network in the 2020s—about the time that the engineers from this Hyperloop competition work out all the bugs with technical innovation. It won’t take long.

My advice to Elon Musk is to drop all the discussion about carbon taxes and environmental thinking when talking to Donald Trump at the White House because that’s not going to happen. It would also be good to stop complaining about his immigration policies. The borderless world concept is done in America so if you want people to embrace Tesla, and to give Hyperloop a chance, you have a friendly president to those technologies so long as you don’t use more regulation to move people from oil based vehicles to electric ones. My next car may be a Tesla and I’m not a green economy advocate. I would just want a Tesla because it most intelligently applies power to the wheels that hit the road as opposed to what’s out there. I think the Tesla is a wonderful rethinking of the personal car. I fully support Trump opening up the coal mines and drilling for oil in the United States so that we can have an economic renaissance like the UAE is experiencing with excess cash from their oil industry alone funding exciting new projects. But I am open to new methods coming along to replace what we’ve had. I am ready to see a leap in technology from a combustion engine to a Tesla, or from a commuter train to a Hyperloop—so long as what comes next advances our civilization. The carbon tax issue and other environmental concerns from the political left will work themselves out if we truly move into space as a human race—where there are full cities on Mars within a hundred or so years and the moon becomes a base of operations for deeper space travel. We can’t restrict ourselves on earth economically, technically, and politically by fighting the wrong battles. The human race has to leave the earth and these kinds of technologies take us to that point. So keep the politics out of the Hyperloop and we could very well have them all over the United States over the next thirty years because they make sense.

With that said the Hyperloop races were very inspiring and provided a glimpse into the kind of nation and world we can become. I know I’m ready for such a world. I would love to leave for Orlando at 8 AM in the morning after grabbing a quick breakfast at McDonald’s and arriving an hour before Disney World opens so I could take advantage of the early open to pass holders. After a day of fun I could be back with my family for dinner and never feel like I had just traveled all day needing to recover after sitting for so long. The Hyperloop would make such a trip as common as driving to the grocery store for milk, and that would greatly expand our internal economic output, and GDP. For instance it would greatly benefit me professionally to be able to same day ship from California to West Chester, Ohio because often lead times on things I need mostly involve transit times and ridiculous shipping costs by air. Hyperloop could dramatically reduce those costs—so it’s very exciting. But first, we have to get through this infancy period with a president who gets it and can sell it to the politicians. And that’s what Donald Trump can do that others had no chance at before. So make friends, keep dreaming, and let’s make this happen!

Melania Trump: ‘How Great Thou Art’

There has never been a First Lady like Melania Trump—and her presence in the White House over these next few years will alone boost the morale of the American way of life. I have watched a lot of these inaugurations and I have read about many others throughout history and there was never a woman with the grace of Melania Trump to do the job as well as the current First Lady has and will be doing.

I have hated Barack Obama and how he ran the Executive Branch over the last eight years, but I’ll have to say, when Melania brought Michelle Obama a nice present upon their meeting before the inauguration, I actually didn’t hate the Obamas so much. Melania did everything during the inauguration with such grace and class that she even melted away the extreme anger I had for the Obamas with just the simple exchange of a present.

I hate to think that whatever Melania gave Michelle from Tiffany’s in New York might be thrown away and abused with hatred from one administration toward the next because I think Melania’s actions were genuine. I think she really likes Michelle Obama and wanted to give her something to feel better about leaving behind the only thing that gave her value in life—the White House. Without the executive office, the Obamas are just regular people and that obviously bothers Michelle Obama. However, Melania seemed to understand even though her life was like stepping out of Heaven itself bearing gifts for a mortal job in the White House to restore the nation back to health with her love. So even though she couldn’t relate to Michelle’s condition, she was sympathetic to it and she brought a nice gift hoping to ease the pain—and hopefully that was appreciated. Because when I saw it I thought it was very classy.

Over the following days Donald Trump went right to work like I always thought he would, starting the process of repealing Obamacare, getting rid of TPP, getting the Keystone and Dakota pipelines rolling, meeting with Elon Musk and many other business leaders hoping to infuse optimism back into the investment market. Right after that meeting he had another with union leaders of all people and started a very complicated process of changing demographic voting patterns. Donald Trump put out a wage freeze for federal employment and started working toward massive budget cuts and he did it with all the gusto that we’ve come to expect out of a guy who had a top rated television show on NBC doing just what he was doing now in the White House. So why wouldn’t he be successful?

But Melania Trump is something else all together—a class act in every way you can imagine and we’ve only really witnessed her for a few days—most notably on the inauguration. Before that she was a bit of a mystery as she stayed off the campaign trail and out of the lime light to care for her 10-year-old son Barron. And as I watched Melania and her husband Donald walk in the parade up to the White House very gracefully looking like the most perfect runway model of high fashion even after more than 10 hours in high heel shoes, her son Barron walked awkwardly like a giant from some other land brought down out of the tower of his birth into the world below to save it from itself. He awkwardly waved to the crowd obviously still getting used to his large framed body for such a young boy—but was running purely on the power of his mother’s love. Melania would nurture him along like Bambi’s mother from the classic Disney film with a simple smile. Enemies of President Trump looked for ways to take shots at the mother and child mistaking such moments as weakness. But the big President Trump so sure of himself didn’t worry about mother and child—but used the occasion to harden the young man into his own kind of inauguration into manhood. And what better way for a little boy to be introduced to the public but in a presidential parade with his parents urging him alone at his own pace.

Melania was ultimately the architect of the event and both Donald Trump and the rest of the family followed her lead with great class. The more you watch the Trumps the more you realized that Melania as even the third wife of Donald J. Trump was the one who gave the brash New York businessman his grounding into life. She was likely as responsible for him being President as all the hard work he put into it on his own. The meaning for much of his efforts was reflected in his wife’s face. And I don’t think that Donald Trump would disagree with me upon reading any of this. He might not talk about it in a self-reflective way—because he’s not like that. But watching them in that Saturday church service right after the inauguration, after all the class from the balls the night before—Melania shed real tears while the chorus played “How Great Thou Art.” Trump was moved as well in his way but it was Melania who provoked the lead toward a standing ovation. If you watch those two people carefully Donald Trump listens to that classic song with his arms crossed keeping his emotions in check—the way men typically do. I do the same. There’s not room for crying in life if you’re a man—because the little grandchildren and children behind him want to know that Dad can face anything without fear. That is expected in all people—whether or not they get that as a reality—everyone desires such things. But then Melania not fettered by social constraints of stoicism wiped away tears gracefully and it was obvious she was deeply touched which indicates the quality of the soul inside her beautiful body. Melania isn’t just an ex-fashion model—she’s a deep person and in that depth she lives for bigger things.

There are phonies out there, lots of them who are soulless leeches and pretend to go to these kinds of events and feel passion for what they witness. But when you talk to them in person you find out they are like the characters from the Netflix series House of Cards. The Trumps aren’t like that. They are real and what they feel is genuine—which is reflected in what they do day in and day out. Melania for over ten years has lived in that golden palace atop the New York skyline coming down only occasionally for the needed social visit. But now she’s down for a while to help the nation heal after many years of degradation—and what she brings with her is an untarnished innocence given to her by a man who lovers her, a son who needs her, and family who counted on her to give them a solid groundwork to build a family off of. Without her, I doubt Donald Trump would be president or any of them would be in the position they were in at that church ceremony. And she knows the weight she carries, yet she never broke a sweat or showed a crack in her resolve—because she knew it was time now for her to give those gifts to the world in a way that only she could. What a remarkable woman in the classiest definition possible. She is just what America needed—and just in time.

The Most Positive Inauguration Speech Ever: Uno’s, Trump, and doing things “My Way”

Trump celebration at Uno's in West Chester. @butlersheriff and Mark Welch of @westchestertwp fire up the crowd. @journalnews @ButlerCoGOP pic.twitter.com/1dwddgF78t

— Greg Lynch (@glynch) January 20, 2017

I normally don’t do it. The writer in me likes to soak up environments and their circumstances from a distance—the human interaction with other like minded people isn’t necessary for me. But I did find a lot of joy in seeing people at the Uno’s celebration in West Chester, Ohio for president Trump on Friday night as the parade from the capitol to the White House transpired just hours after Donald Trump was sworn in as the new president of the United States. I had been through a lot with the people at that event and it was nice to see them under the best possible circumstances. We all didn’t get along in the past but the Trump election certainly unified us under the umbrella of this cause. We were all relieved and it showed.

But, one thing that came up a lot in talking with them at this party—smart people who normally catch everything—was that they were disgusted at the way the media portrayed Trump’s inauguration speech. I thought it was a great speech as I heard him say some things that rivaled what JFK had said so I was mystified why there was so much negative reaction by the press and the supporters who were defensive about their new president. My opinion of Trump’s speech was that it was short, he was nervous, distracted by the rain, and the four former presidents staring holes through is back sitting right behind him because they certainly didn’t like what he was saying—because they had caused much of it. But Trump did what he does—he’s not afraid of anything and he ground through it eloquently boldly proclaiming that he was returning government back to the people who elected him—then he said this—word for word:

Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.

In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.

We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action – constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.

The time for empty talk is over.

Now arrives the hour of action.

Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.

We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.

We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.

A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights and heal our divisions.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2017/01/20/his-own-words-president-trumps-inaugural-address/96836330/

That is one of the most positive speeches I can ever remember hearing from a president of the United States—“ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow”—there is nothing negative about any of that. Actually, if the media reported the speech correctly, that would have been their takeaway—that would have been the theme of the entire day. That is certainly one of the reasons I voted for him.

Let’s make it clear, what we want for a president, because obviously there are a lot of people out there radicalized by public education and a political class that wanted to be like Europe for way too long, is a naturally positive person who works hard. Recognizing LGBT rights, or the ability to kill a baby in an abortion, or rolling in the mud of racism and slavery for which we inherited from our English heritage—and corrected by the mechanisms of our republic under the careful guidance of Abraham Lincoln—are not positive topics to tackle as the leading country of personal freedom throughout the world. The political left likes those topics because they distract us from the real objectives meant to be unlocked through capitalism. The political left desires global communism and interconnected trade so that the power of American capitalism can suffocate under the pressure of their radical ideology of collectivism dumbing down the human race to the laziest, and most lack luster in ambition. People like me who voted for Trump want to move on to bigger and better things. I don’t want America encumbered by bad management around the world. Before America can be the land of the free—it has to be free of the burden of saving the world from its own stupidity. If the world wants to improve, then they can watch us and get on board with a philosophy that’s conducive to tomorrow—and they need to throw out their stupid books by Karl Marx. That guy was a failure and anybody who follows his words will end up failures also—like the 100 or so thugs running around Washington D.C. breaking windows and throwing rocks at police hoping to stop the Trump presidency.

Clearly at the balls later that night as Trump danced with his wife in front of the crowds—which was a tradition, it was obvious that America was moving on. Once Pence and the entire Trump family came out to join the president and the First Lady on the dance floor a philosophic shift had taken place. After all the talk about what liberal designer would “dress” Melania Trump everything flew out the window. Ralph Lauren stepped up to the plate and sealed himself as the prime designer that he has always been. But liberal newcomers who might have challenged him lost out on an opportunity to get noticed—because Melania Trump could wear tin foil and make it look like the greatest thing ever created. The political left can drag ass themselves hoping to keep the world in the realm of global communism—but America is leaving the station and whoever is not on it—will get left behind. That was the message of the entire day.

There is a lot I personally identify with Trump on. Like my family said during the inauguration ceremonies, he’s my doppelganger only in an older form under different circumstances. So I can say with quite a lot of accuracy what president Trump is up to and what he’s going to do next. I noticed the little things because honestly I’d do many of the same things. For instance at the lunch where members of the house and senate were toasting Trump as the new president, he just sat there like a kid embarrassed that everyone was singing Happy Birthday to him. He obviously felt awkward and he didn’t know he was expected to speak afterwards. They had to coax him up to the podium where he stumbled around for a few seconds before getting into the grove of it and making use of the occasion. Then, after that he signed some executive orders. Around the table were Republican and Democratic leaders—namely Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer whom Trump had just called a clown weeks before. Each of those supposed leaders stood around the table waiting for Trump to hand them the pin he signed each document with so they could have it as a souvenir acting like teenage girls backstage at a rock concert. The occasion again made Trump feel awkward until he realized the strategic importance of the moment.

He smiled and handed the first pin to Nancy Pelosi the way any good salesman would recognize a situation like that—as a leverage point for later. Trump’s face said it all—defeating these people on Capitol Hill was going to be easy for him because many had already lost. They’d say one thing in public for the CNN cameras—but one on one with Trump—they’d melt like butter micro waved for 2 minutes. The real meat and potatoes regarding Trump is his work ethic. After the parade he went right to work and I have no doubt he’ll spend all day Saturday and Sunday getting ready for Monday—and Capitol Hill won’t know what to do with the first week of a Trump presidency. If people were surprised that he had the guts to make his inauguration speech one about populism, and nationalism freeing America from the bondage of negative relationships with other countries—they really won’t know what to do with his restless work ethic. Some people love to work, and Trump is one of those people.

I caught some other little things about Trump while I watched him dance that first dance with Melania to the song “My Way” which didn’t surprise me at all—I might have picked the same song. I watched Trump actually sing some of the words with the passion of a 9-year-old kid—which to me was not at all a negative. This is Trump’s last act in life before his own curtain closes and he knows it and he intends to make a splash. His wife knows it. His kids know it. And soon the rest of the world will learn what having a Trump present in the White House means who seldom sleeps, isn’t afraid of anything, and who is curious about everything—when he says — America is “ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow”—he means it. Before that final curtain closes on Trump’s life he’s going to do things his way and present it as a gift to America and the rest of the world if they want it. Trump’s life has always been about fireworks and now we get to see the finale, and before it’s done we’ll see something that will stun us and leave the world speechless in a positive way possibly for the first time ever.

It was a good day!

Hello, My Name is Human: Taking out the trash on Inauguration Day

It was literally trash day on my street today and I couldn’t help but think of that metaphor as Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 45 president of the United States. As good as the ceremonies were, the best thing for me was seeing Barack Obama whist away into the oblivion of the trash dump removed from the White House and left valueless with only his title as a former president remaining—which for him will soon be meaningless like a lot of the trash I put at the end of my driveway each week. It has been a good day as before the ceremonies even started we received these very nice inauguration glasses in the mail which we used during the swearing-in. Additionally my wife special ordered her favorite candy in the world, Divinity from Gatlinburg, Tennessee shipped to us just for this occasion to enjoy throughout the day. One of my daughters was able to come over to watch the main events as my wife and I ended the day at Uno’s in West Chester with friends and people who had been in the trenches with us for many years. The overall feeling about everything had that refreshing feeling you get when you take out the trash allowing you to separate from things you don’t want in your house—and Barack Obama for at least six years was one of those items I was so very happy to see put to the curb.

As I watched the events of the day I couldn’t help but think I was witnessing the physical manifestation of the song by Highly Suspect called “Hello, My Name is Human.” As Trump took the oath I kept hearing the lines, “I’m up off my knees, girl–I’m face to face with myself–I stole my power from the sun—I am more than just a man.” I do like that song! A lot. But particularly that third part of it where the narrative had eclipsed the terrestrial limits of human existence and moved beyond the limits of our experience—to become more than worldly limits allow. Literally, the trend of Washington D.C. culture has been for everyone to get on their knees and worship at the alters of the powerful—but with Trump—he came to town clearly larger than anybody and now literally he was looming over everything with a perspective that was more than human.

The trend continued in reverse as I reflected on the concert in front of the Lincoln Memorial which for me was deeply emotional because it had a theme that was very obvious. When 3 Doors Down sang Kryptonite as an obvious nod to Superman—the super hero, and that was followed by several acts featuring Ravi Drums performing some fabulous solo drum exhibitions I could see a not so subtle plot emerging—a message from Trump to the rest of us. Again, the theme was “solo” efforts at taking small things and overcoming limits to become bigger—like the Trump presidency. As I watched Ravi and the other acts I could literally hear the most diehard liberals from the entertainment community screaming at what they were seeing—the power of the individual being unleashed through the Executive Branch.

With Obama it was the theme of progressivism—we are all nothing unless we are united together—which is the trash we just kicked to the curb. As the presidents gathered to watch Trump take the oath the evidence was palatable. Trump’s inauguration speech was literally a symbol of mankind rising to some new individual height that stepped well beyond the limits of our past where we were all chained in bondage to the orders of our “betters.” Trump had arrived and not even past presidents sitting right next to him could eclipse that light he had gained from the metaphorical “sun.” Here was a man who had never been on his knees for anybody taking the Executive Office–who just 12 hours prior had brought Kellyanne Conway on stage to thank her for all her hard work and then called her “baby” as she stepped off the stage. The political left melted into oblivion. How could a man who was president of the United States be such a chauvinist—a capitalist loving monument of freedom who didn’t need any of them—the answer is that Trump was never a groveling fool begging for his way through life. He’s always been face to face with himself and that drives the order of the past insane.

Most of the European wars that have taken place since the Roman Empire left the shores of England were over the control of populations and what religion they would adhere to. Even when Catholics had their grip on England the Protestants led by Martin Luther were proposing that Rome was not in control of man’s connection to God which only increased as the printing press made personal Bibles more of a household item—decentralizing the church in ways they were never comfortable with. So wars would break out within countries and with other lands essentially to focus the efforts of nations on a unified religion. Even before the Roman Empire, it was these kinds of state sponsored challenges which inspired people to kneel before a king, a god, or an ancient past where these heroes paved the way for lesser people to exist. Then along came America to challenge all that but even then our European roots possessed many of the previous 44 presidents in ways that made them run the Executive Branch with more pomp than circumstance. A few former presidents touched the face of greatness (the sun) and generated their own otherworldly reference—but most were content to bow on their knees and face their god—and leave things there. Not Trump.

The Air Force One planes that Trump and his family departed from looked small—they didn’t fit his personality—just as the wide shots during the inauguration made the former presidents look like an old shoe that Trump had grown out of as a youth. Donald Trump is the oldest inaugurated president yet he looks and acts like a man of 35—he doesn’t seem elderly, feeble in any way, or even limited. He has unshakeable confidence and a belief in his ability to literally do anything. There has never been a president like that. This is a very new experience. But even as I say that, the whole event wasn’t about Trump—it was about us.

I have never enjoyed a firework display like I did the one at the Lincoln Memorial with the Trump family standing on the steps as the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” played. We don’t have a democracy—we have a republic and when the people who run that republic have never been on their knees in obligation to anything—and they expect to give the people of that republic the same transcendence—the human race just evolved from something that belongs in the trash to something of great value—an empty vessel ready to be filled with the succulence of Americanism spawned forth by the 45^th president, just as the wonderful inauguration glass had brought me great joy and many fine wines during the swearing-in ceremony.

And as the garbage man came to pick up our trash in front of our house I listened to the song “Hello, I am Human” over and over as the lights from the truck lit up the early morning pre-dawn hours with promise—we were throwing out those days of kneeling before our “gods” our “betters” in Washington D.C. and we were as a nation facing ourselves—standing—with the power of the sun for literally the first time in human history and we were saying with a salute to the American flag—“Hello, we are now—human.”

Airbus Committing to Skycars: The future is now the reality I’ve been telling you about

It was interesting to hear Tom Enders from Airbus speak about flying cars—his recent article published by Reuters shown below sounds exactly like the things I have been saying for many years—almost word for word. (CLICK HERE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF) And that is exciting. It brings me great joy to see many of these ideas coming to fruition. Here is what Tom Enders said:

Airbus Group plans to test a prototype for a self-piloted flying car as a way of avoiding gridlock on city roads by the end of the year, the aerospace group’s chief executive said on Monday.

Airbus last year formed a division called Urban Air Mobility that is exploring concepts such as a vehicle to transport individuals or a helicopter-style vehicle that can carry multiple riders. The aim would be for people to book the vehicle using an app, similar to car-sharing schemes.

“One hundred years ago, urban transport went underground, now we have the technological wherewithal to go above ground,” Airbus CEO Tom Enders told the DLD digital tech conference in Munich, adding he hoped the Airbus could fly a demonstration vehicle for single-person transport by the end of the year.

We are in an experimentation phase, we take this development very seriously,” he said, adding that Airbus recognized such technologies would have to be clean to avoid further polluting congested cities.

He said using the skies could also reduce costs for city infrastructure planners. “With flying, you don’t need to pour billions into concrete bridges and roads,” he said.

Enders said Airbus, as the world’s largest maker of commercial helicopters, wanted to invest to make the most of new technologies such as autonomous driving and artificial intelligence, to usher in what amounts to an era of flying

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-airbus-group-tech-idUSKBN1501DM

As I’ve said many times, I write all these articles because you just never know who’s reading them, and I get many hundreds of hits every day even though I am blacklisted as a conservative writer on all the search engines and most of the social networks. It doesn’t matter. Smart people find me, and they read these articles and they act on what they learn—and that is a wonderful thing.

So it is very exciting to see what was just an idea a few years ago coming to a reality and soon, within just a few years—because Airbus means business—let me tell you that—we’ll have point to point flying cars and they’ll be reliable and easy to use—and that will open up a whole new realm in complex history of personal transportation systems. Just remember where you read it first. I’m more interested in seeing ideas born—getting paid is secondary. Because all the money in the world doesn’t matter if our world is stuck in the past so it becomes the task of the creative mind to put the first thought in the mind of people who can actually do something about it. Which is how things are supposed to work.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra at the Trump Inauguration: Protests from Michael Moore and Mark Ruffalo–why China is cutting money from Hollywood

Here is Mark Ruffalo, Michael Moore, and Meryl Streep protesting outside of Trump Tower during the Donald Trump Inauguration.

It is interesting to see the effect Donald Trump has had on all the shadow aspects of our culture which I have to say—I warned you all about many years ago over many millions and millions of written words. First is this interesting little article from the Hollywood Reporter seen below where the communist country of China is now squeamish about making the kind of investments into the motion picture industry? Do you really want to know why so many movies have sucked over the last decade—even longer, and why very good filmmakers have went from good to bad in their choice of projects? (Tell me a film like Always could be green-lit today even with the power Steven Spielberg possesses—it won’t happen because communist China doesn’t understand those types of topics–they are American ideas) Just follow the money and you’ll see that Beijing has had a very active interest as a communist country in controlling the message of social discourse in America and their mechanism of choice has been Hollywood. This is why crazy liberals like Mark Ruffalo have jobs in Hollywood—to spread the communist message in favor of the people who write their checks—and is why the entire industry is so incredibly liberal. It didn’t used to be, but it has now for quite some time as China has sought to leverage the industry under their financing allowing communism to have a voice behind actors sympathetic to their cause. It has been disgraceful, but finally things are changing.

What If China's Money Stream Stops Flowing to Hollywood? https://t.co/pHLVVXteWO via @thr

— Rich Hoffman (@overmanwarrior) January 15, 2017

.@MMFlint That's right! We are holding a Rally of peaceful Resistance in NYC January 19, 6pm! Columbus Circle! Don't despair, come together!

— Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) January 15, 2017

But that is just a footnote to the story of the Trump impact on just about all affairs. As Michael Moore and Mark Ruffalo hold a protest rally outside of Trump Tower on Thursday evening just ahead of the inauguration of Trump—we have to look at what has been revealed since the soon to be president was elected on that now famous election of November 8^th 2016. I remember how it was most of last year, and I lost a lot of friends over it. Most people during the primaries thought Trump was a joke, yet I never did. From day one I was eager for the Trump run because he promised to expose another little secret in our American culture—that is even more pronounced than the efforts of the Chinese to take over our Hollywood industry—our intelligence community was weaponized politically to achieve the same aims.

At the end of their strategic rope just a week prior to this writing, Chuck Schumer—the cousin of that disgusting actor Amy Schumer—let his last progressive hope loose on the Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC when he warned that Trump should not pick fights with the intelligence community—because they knew things about all of us that we should fear. And thus, just a few days later a dossier was produced which had been in circulation for a long time and it was floated through CNN into the liberal blog site Buzzfeed and dumped into the public with great and embarrassing fanfare. The embarrassing details of a supposed Donald Trump paying prostitutes to piss on a bed to his delight were meant to invoke the historical recollection of Adolf Hitler doing similar things—thus hoping to control the minds of America into throwing Trump into a similar appraisal. What’s funny about Trump is that the story wasn’t true allowing him to emphatically deny the rumors and attack the sources with vigor which revealed the true level of corruption which had seeped into our politicized intelligence community.

So who can say now that we shouldn’t have all along been concerned about those smart meters put on our houses against our will, or the NSA capturing all of our data to be used in some maniacal practice in the future to keep us all in line like animals in a farmhouse pen? What about the allegations of false flags that I have made in quite a lot of detail. Where not many of the stories produced to stop Donald Trump from winning of that nature? And wasn’t the intelligence community doing so with the full support of the White House? There dear reader you have your answer—liberal politicians and some conservatives have sought to use the intelligence community as a weapon of politics—even John McCain jumped into this latest story by personally advancing the Trump story in Russia hoping something would stick so he could maintain his progressive grip within the liberal sectors of power just a bit longer.

Trump because of his lack of fear, his personal wealth, his age, his experience has been able to take away every weapon of the liberal left and it has forced all these hidden elements of our culture to come forward and show themselves and that is why the Chinese money is drying up in Hollywood. It’s also why these actors are so worried and screaming to maintain their relevancy. But with the Chinese money going away in the acting profession, the actors will feel the brunt of that sooner than they’d like, so all they can do is stand outside of Trump Tower on Thursday like the apes in 2001 Space Odyssey and scream at the works of mankind—the giant obelisk in front of them made by a man of ingenuity and determination—and scream at their powerless efforts to change any minds now that the truth has been revealed.

Alex Jones and many others chronicled for quite a few years were laughed at for their suggestions that a massive global government was seeking to control us all. I have provided a lot of evidence going all the way back to the Darryl Parks Saturday broadcasts on WLW radio in Cincinnati where he and I warned most of America of the impact of the NDAA—which would allow for the militarization of our local police against us with the flip of the switch. Additionally I told you the nature of the attacks on those same police by communist insurgents injected into communities of color within inner cities and the works of the intelligence community to overthrow our America system—the same way the CIA has been caught doing within many foreign governments for years—playing one side against the other for a net result not seen by anybody but those working the plans—and people like me creative enough to connect the dots based on the presented evidence where the only ones who could see it.

As I predicted from the beginning, Trump’s nomination process would unveil much of this, but even to a greater degree his election into the presidency has literally caused all the cockroaches to emerge from the shadows because the light has been switched on and so many were caught out in the open doing their work under the cover of darkness. So now that everything is out in the open what will happen to China and its control over the Hollywood left? Well, I’ll tell you dear reader that entertainment will continue and that money will shift around and new actors will replace the old communist ones. After all it wasn’t that long ago that most of the leading actors in Hollywood were all conservatives, such as Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis, Clint Eastwood, Sylvester Stallone, and so one—and most of the top films each year had these guys involved in some way. Now we have the age of the globalist metro sexual—and that was by choice in Hollywood inspired by the investments made by the Chinese for a greater strategy rooted in communist migration around the world. It’s not a secret that just a few years ago some motion picture blockbusters were released in foreign markets before America so to tip the scales in the favor of globalist propaganda. Now when box office projections are expressed, the domestic gross is considered with the global take—for instance, let’s look at Rogue One, the latest Star Wars story.

Domestic:	$488,335,734	52.8%
+ Foreign:	$437,100,000	47.2%

= Worldwide:	$925,435,734

Domestic Summary

Opening Weekend:	$155,081,681
(#1 rank, 4,157 theaters, $37,306 average)
% of Total Gross:	31.8%
> View All 4 Weekends

Widest Release:

4,157 theaters

In Release:

29 days / 4.1 weeks

Rogue One will hit a billion dollars soon, which is great but notice how the foreign markets are nearly equal to the domestic take? The industry has now become very reliant on that number so movies are now made with a noticeable global twist to their stories to help boost that figure. But, here is the little secret—two of the Disney films to break that billion dollar mark in 2016 had noticeable American themes to them, Rogue One being one—Captain America: Civil War being the other. Half of the money a movie makes in the global market comes from the relatively small county of America. The rest of the entire world—all of Europe, all of Russia, all of China—with over a billion people hosting that population make up the rest. The measly 300 or so million people in the United States still generate half of all box office takes that movie studios depend on.

The United States intelligence agencies working on behalf of progressives like Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama—taking the lead of Hollywood’s infestation of Chinese money which trickles through the donation contributions indirectly to control our politics have attempted to tip these scales in favor of globalism and they have tried every trick in the book literally, and were turned away at the last—most vulnerable moment. And for that we all have a lot to be thankful for—and the cockroaches caught scampering across the floor as the light was turned on are all exposed, and will be standing outside of Trump Tower on Thursday and Friday screaming up at the creations of a truly great man who still remain a mystery to them—like those apes in 2001 Space Odyssey. And the famous piece of music Thus Spoke Zarathustra from the great Nietzsche classic book of the same name couldn’t have been more appropriate for the beginning of that famous Stanley Kubric classic. Mark Ruffalo and Michael Moore like those helpless apes will be yelling up at the Trump Tower to a superior apparatus which has eclipsed the greatest weapon the political left had prior to November 8^th 2016—a weaponized intelligence community and a Hollywood industry willing and able to romantize that weapon to the detriment of a capitalist civilization. And Facebook functioned as a liaison between the two making most of its money as a collector of personal information for which the intelligence community could use on a personal basis, and as a way to deliver the Hollywood message directly to the public consuming entertainment products—as the originator of “fake news.” Yet with the simple election of Donald Trump and his inauguration this week, all those contributors to our modern menace of liberalism have suddenly lost power and are left only to scream up at their betters as the world moves on and away without them. And that is a truly great thing. But never forget what they tried to do and how they tried to do it. I warned you for years and now you can see it for yourself. So guard against it in the future because cockroaches are always a threat if you leave trash out in the open when the lights are not on it.

And during the inauguration ceremonies of Donald Trump just think of Thus Spoke Zarathustra—because such a moment has finally arrived after centuries of thinking about it.

Meryl Streep’s Pretentious Fat Ass: Hollywood’s tremendious disrespect for theater owners

Meryl Streep got on my last nerve during the 2017 Golden Globe award show recently when she used her speaking time after winning a lifetime achievement award to bash the Donald Trump presidency. As her mouth oozed liberal nonsense I thought of the many theater owners across the nation who are desperate for Hollywood to justify the massive investments they have spent creating venues for idiots like Streep to show their stupid movies—and I witnessed the ultimate in unappreciative audacity from the Hollywood left.

Streep tried to appear that she was reaching out to mainstream America by appealing to the diversity of the popular actors that had all been nominated for some kind of Golden Globe on that January 8^th evening. But like the typical blabber mouth suburbanite who rattles off facts they’ve learned on daytime television, like game shows, talk shows like Oprah and Ellen, and the QVC network—Streep had such a terrible grasp on worldly events that I almost felt sorry for her. But, she spoke as if she were an authority on immigration and what it takes to have a successful economy, and NBC let her go on and on wasting valuable airtime bloviating about things she knows nothing about because it fit their political outlook and they assumed that the audiences at home would just put up with it.

Well, Meryl, the very economy that you know nothing about is putting the squeeze on the Hollywood industry that you represent. There is some intense competition nowadays against the Hollywood product and people really don’t want to listen to some fat assed old chick lecture Americans about diversity, fairness, and political ethics. We want to watch movies where things blow up, good guys beat bad guys, and women look good and act better. Get it Hollywood. We don’t want films about anti-gun arguments, or some sappy assed Indian floating around in a boat. We want action, adventure and intellectual stimulation—and if Hollywood can’t give it to us, we’ll get it somewhere else.

And don’t think for a moment that the world will continue to put up with an entire industry full of communist leftists. Meryl mentioned that if it wasn’t for them, (the actors) all we’d have for entertainment was football and fighting—otherwise testosterone driven activities. Let me say this to Meryl and all her Hollywood friends—other people can do their job easily. I know I could. I’m not in the business because I refuse to deal with their labor unions. I don’t want to be in the Screen Actors guild, I don’t want to be in the Writer’s Guild—I don’t want to deal with them in any way. But if they weren’t around—a guy like me could write, act, produce, and direct all the best of you into oblivion without even having to work at it. Instead, I do other things because honestly, I don’t want to deal with people like Meryl Streep as part of my occupation. It’s not worth the money that comes with it. And I’m not the only one—let me tell you that. What you do isn’t that hard.

Because of the labor unions the cost of making a movie is just too great and the major studios struggle to make a profit. Most studios don’t make it very long in the industry. Companies like Disney and Warner Bros. make the business model work because they have superhero franchises and science fiction properties that help them balance the books—but for everyone else—there’s not much appealing out there. Like who made the decision to make the movies Christmas Office Party and Why Him? Who in their right mind as a studio head thought that it was fair to the theater owners out there to give them those offerings over the Holiday Season of 2016? Those are movies that could have been made direct to video for Netflix or Amazon Prime for a fraction of the production budget. Why can’t the studios make more films like Star Wars which makes over a billion dollars at the global marketplace during their theater runs. If snotty actors like Meryl Streep didn’t hate money so much they’d understand that the Hollywood product and the theater owners out there in the world are in a marriage—they both need each other—and Hollywood hasn’t been doing their share of the heavy lifting. They make crappy movies about their goofy leftist philosophies then wonder why nobody goes to see them.

Has Meryl Streep went to a movie and paid $20 for a popcorn and one drink lately? I do it fairly regularly even though I can make the same at my home for about a $1.50. I buy the popcorn at movie theaters to help the owners stay in business with their crazy overpriced food because not enough butts are in the seats watching the movies that Hollywood makes. For instance, when the great movie Raiders of the Lost Ark was made—the filmmakers knew they were making a popcorn movie for fans to support the entire movie business. But that was forty years ago now. Who is making movies like that now except for Lucasfilm? Who? If people want a message story—they can get that on Netflix. Who wants to go to the movies to see a political message except for a very small portion of a potential audience. I’m not saying that films that are shown at Sundance shouldn’t be made—I enjoy them even though I seldom agree with their politics. But a movie at the theater needs to be a big event and Hollywood should always endeavor to make a movie that generates the greatest revenue possible. Most of the movies Meryl Streep makes are movies that anymore should only appear on the cable network Lifetime or an online download service.

For instance, The Crown which did well at the Golden Globes is a far superior product than what the motion picture industry produced for movie theaters. I almost feel like I’m cheating to see such a great product at home on my giant 70” 4K television with popcorn fresh from the kitchen and a whole two liters of pop giving me instant refills any time I want it. And The Crown was around 10 hours of production versus 2 to 3 hours for a typical movie. You get a whole lot more consumer product of the Netflix produced show as opposed to the Hollywood product made for theater distribution. The same with the other major hit from Netflix—Stranger Things—which was a lot better than the 80s films it was meant to tip the hat to—like Poltergeist, E.T., and Goonies. Stranger Things doesn’t need a movie theater—viewers can just watch it anytime they want without the shared experience of other human beings touching their armrest or checking their cell phone in the middle of a movie in a darkened theater.

You see dear reader—the reason Meryl Streep is an idiot who abused her reputation and the entire Hollywood community with her rantings against Donald Trump is because it was all done at the expense of the theater owners of America—whom she might as well have just spit on during the Golden Globes. Guys like me won’t go see Meryl Streep movies which she doesn’t care about either. We can ignore each other and be perfectly happy in life. But, if I don’t go to the movies the theater own doesn’t make back their money for showing one of her stupid movies since there is other competition out there which offers often a far superior product. And Hollywood instead of making the kind of movies they need to make to compete with these changing markets and times—are imprisoned to drama queens like Streep who hide behind their labor unions to make more stupid movies they think are “art” only to sink more production companies who go out on a limb trying to bankroll their film projects.

So while all those idiots at the Golden Globes sat there clapping at what Meryl Streep was saying—the people who really suffer from the Hollywood industry’s lack of focus and business understanding were cringing stage right. And that is where people like Meryl don’t help Hollywood, they hurt it—like an overprotective, manipulative, fat assed mother hen who keeps the potential of a child locked away in a bedroom hoping to preserve her “work of art” from the realities of life. It’s business sweetheart—and you’re hurting it—most notably the theater owners who count on Hollywood to make something people can’t get with free internet porn and Netflix—something epic and truly something people only want to see the first time in a darkened movie theater—with strangers. Get with it—or you will destroy it all. Because the world will move on without your pretentious ass.

Guide to the Donald J. Trump Inauguration: The reality behind one of the greatest events in history

If you listen to the political left, you’d think that the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States was going to be a cartoon combination of Yosemite Sam and Froghorn Leghorn pasted over an old skit of Benny Hill. However, the reality is quite the opposite, the Trump Inauguration looks to be one of America’s greatest and the talent will be stylish, and the balls taking place after the swearing-in, and the parade are top notch—and expensive. I have noticed though that it took a little looking around to get information and I’m in the loop—so I’m sure that many of you out there are wondering how you can be a part of this historic event. For many on the Trump website linked below are some really wonderful items that people can get to remember the occasion. Also below is the inauguration schedule including the various balls so that you can make your plans. The balls range in price from about $150 dollars a plate to $10,000. All of them look to be an event of a lifetime and worth the money. So use this as your guide dear reader to the Trump Inauguration—and—have a good time!

The inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump features a long list of official and semi-official events and celebrations.

There will be plenty of protests and counter-rallies as well, with a list of some available here.

Here’s the schedule for events that will usher Trump to the White House:

Inaugural Parade, Jan. 20

Begins at the conclusion of the inauguration

Trump and Pence will make their way from the Capitol to the White House down Pennsylvania Avenue as part of a parade that includes high school and college bands; police posse, motorcycle and cavalry units; veterans and active members of the military; and the Boy Scouts of America, among others.

Inaugural Balls

Three official inaugural balls are planned featuring appearances by Trump, including one being dubbed the Big Apple Ball in Washington but with New York-themes dominating under Trump’s personal direction, according to TMZ. Details are still developing.

Here’s a list of other, unofficial balls:

Deploraball, 7 p.m. Jan. 20 A $250 per plate event that takes eponymous pride in Trump nemesis Hillary Clinton‘s claim that half of his supporters are “deplorables” is no joke, though there’s a lot of snark and sarcasm inherent in this event and its promotion. The reception begins at 7 p.m. at the Bolger Center in Bethesda, Md., just outside Washington, with a silent auction to benefit veterans and event host Gays for Trump, followed by dinner and dancing at 8 p.m. This event has publicly illuminated growing fractures among Trump’s most fervent supporters among the so-called “alt-right” who helped create the ball via a social media group known as MAGA-3X. Organizers who hoped for an inclusive “big-tent” event have butted heads with event co-founder Tim Treadstone, who has posted homophobic and anti-semitic remarks via @BakedAlaska on Twitter. Milo Yiannopoulos, a Briton who works as an editor for Breitbart News known for acerbic commentary on and off Twitter where he was recently banned, reportedly is scheduled as a guest of honor.

Don’t Fear War with China, They’ve Already Lost: Understanding history, the nature of economics and human spirit

You can tell who the communist sympathizers are in the United States based on their positions on the upcoming Trump/China feud that is percolating as it should between the free western world and the largest communist country on planet earth. American publications warning that Trump is pushing the world into World War III are obviously socialist and communist sympathizers who are advancing the humanist theories of Sir Thomas More and his 1516 novel Utopia—only instead of the Roman Catholic Church being the center of the society—it would be the religion of Mother Nature which drives modern communist sympathizers toward dystopia through their sheer ignorance on matters of the human heart. In fact, many in Europe simply failed to ever get the point of the human condition and those in the East often fell even shorter. Their only saving grace was to live minimalist’s existences as they do in Tibet, Nepal, India, and even Japan to a large degree so to avoid the hard question—that China fell to communism under Chairmen Moa and nobody knows how to deal with it. The real fear that leftists have laced through modern Hollywood, political insiders on Capital Hill, the European Union at Brussels and virtually every village hut throughout Africa, the Middle East, Vietnam, Australia and South America is that Sir Thomas More was wrong—Plato was wrong—Immanuel Kant was wrong—and thus—Karl Marx. They have all been wrong and Donald Trump is the change in direction that could have only come from America or the threat of the freedom the United States projects around the world as a last hope against dystopia under the church, the state, and Mother Nature herself. China essentially is a propped-up state by the world which will soon be exposed by the presidency of Donald Trump—and he knows it—as do the people in his cabinet who are millionaires and billionaires. They have pushed through those invisible social barriers which Thomas More warned about—and the true light of a world outside of Plato’s cave from the great book, The Republic has been revealed to them—and the world is also about to learn what makes the shadows on the cave walls—and it isn’t China’s “powerful” economy.

These are not the days for stupid people—and presently, I don’t have much patience for them. Here are the facts of the matter—China is on a power grab to spread communism throughout the world, they hold great influence over North Korea, Indochina, and openly claim Taiwan and Tibet as their territories. My feelings about China were solidified in the great Joseph Campbell books, The Masks of God where the communists took over China in 1949 and the world turned its back on the poor people of that great land where America had fought to protect them during World War II against the Japanese to great effect.

We had fought to defend those good people of their human rights against the Japanese imperialism only to surrender those people to the communism of Mao and his Russian backed insurgents making that entire region one of a communist utopia with the ghost of Thomas More smiling from the afterlife. After all, it took roughly 400 years to arrive at that moment in China where the war-torn people weakened by a decade long fight with their eastern neighbor submitted to terrible human rights abuses under Chairman Mao—which wasn’t any different from Thomas More burning heretics at the stake serving at the time King Henry the VIII. See the pattern, and I can promise you dear reader—90% of the so-called educated in the political and media establishments reading this don’t know any of this history. They simply studied at Yale, at Oxford, and places like Princeton—read the mandatory reading of Thomas More’s Utopia, Marx’s Communist Manifesto, and the Quran—got drunk, stoned and had illicit and embarrassing sex with people they’ll never meet again and justify all their mistakes and stupidity with a social philosophy that got them a good job at The New York Times, and MTV—then assumed they were right blinding defending China’s communist muscle flexing. If they really want to know what happened in 1949 to China read the last chapter of the great American general Claire Lee Chennault’s book Way of the Fighter—then dear reader you’ll “get it.”

The government of China deserves to have its ass kicked and its people freed—and deep down inside, Trump seems to know all that I’ve said above. As a billionaire who speaks to other billionaire friends they know real power when they see it—and they know from what their observations of history have revealed through finance that China really isn’t a powerhouse economy—just a propped up global menace by what’s left of Sir Thomas More’s utopian socialists. The Dali Lama of Tibet should not have to live like a refuge from his own country where he’s the rightful ruler based on their traditions. Yet China has imposed itself on those peaceful people for no other reason than to dominate them for China’s own benefit. China’s only claim to power is due to a world that has resigned its dignity to the crimes of collectivism—and much evil has followed in the wake—the United States included.

But that has now changed and Trump has a mandate by voters like me—and millions and millions of others to set things right in the world with open and free markets—true freedom of religion, sexual preference, and economic upward mobility—and it all essentially starts with China. Bitch slap China back to the Thomas More Utopia that it was inspired from concocted by medieval Europe—and what falls from it will be countries like North Korea, Iran and the war in Afghanistan. One tactical victory against China and Trump’s administration wins victories around the world—and the American economy begins once again to out-produce the world with the sheer power of capitalism.

So don’t be frightened dear reader that China might go to war with the United States under Trump—or that a trade war will cripple the American economy. China is only a peacock fluffing out its feathers with naval harassments in the South China Sea and blank threats of hostility toward United States offers of friendship to Taiwan. There can be no peace in the oriental regions of the world, or elsewhere as long as communism is at the center of the government in China. And under Trump the weapon of capitalism will do battle with the weapon of communism and that story has been told before. The ultimate answer is can America live without China—or can China live without America because that determines who has the advantage in the fight and will determine the victor. And using China’s own book on strategy The Art of War—for which I am extremely familiar—I spent 10 years studying that relatively simple book peeling back all the layers sentence by sentence until the layers were understood—and the victories of Donald Trump are already clear. China will lose in this upcoming great battle, and it won’t even be close. Beating China has already happened—it is just the world that has refused to accept it because they still believe in that stupid Thomas More concept of utopia through socialism and communism.

Ayn Rand’s work in the mid twentieth century overstepped the European works of philosophy by challenging the essential premise of thinking foundations which emerged from Plato. Most European philosophy goes back to those beginnings and if not for the origins of Islam, we wouldn’t even have those—for they took the works of Aristotle and created the foundations of their religion—which started off prosperous until many years of war took them away from their core ideas and sent them into Plato’s abyss during first the Crusades, then the Sykes Picot treaty after World War I. When Roman barbarians destroyed the Library of Alexandria in Egypt the philosophical work of many superior thinkers was destroyed—and if not for the early Muslims they all would have been including Aristotle and Plato. So as you can see dear reader, this crime in China goes back a long way and to be honest—only smart people understand it—and Trump is one of those smart people. There is more going on than the media committed to socialist utopias might guess—or even know from their European inspired college educations. To that effect, it was Henry the VIII which launched Oxford University effectively when his father Henry the VII forbid English students from attending the University of Paris. And it was in this period for which Thomas More who served directly Henry the VIII wrote Utopia was written establishing the essential philosophies of our modern world through the university system which essentially spawned off those to Roman Catholic inspired colleges. Things really aren’t that complicated if people read and understand history. But unfortunately, they don’t—especially our media and entertainment culture—which currently dominates public opinion—because it’s easy to listen to a Hollywood leftists who are attractive and entertaining us.

It’s hard to read thirty years of books often written hundreds of years ago and to work through a comparative analysis—like I have. So you can trust me when I say that China’s communist government needs to be eliminated from the world stage and the people freed under the philosophy of capitalism. Ayn Rand’s works simply touched on concepts which were explored before Roman barbarians destroyed the Library of Alexandria and as much as modern liberalism doesn’t like to think that their philosophic foundations were built on religion—they are all products directly of the forces which rejected the Protestant Reformation in Europe during the early 1500s. Trump is a man of Ayn Rand’s mode of thinking—and that will set the world on its head—deservedly so. The media of course won’t understand—because they don’t know history. But I do, so I’ll be happy to explain it as we move along in 2017. Don’t worry about China. They have already lost.

All communist and socialist countries lack imagination–the ability to think individually–where all creative input is first spawned. Imagination is the one thing that Sir Thomas More completely ignored in his utopian society and is why ultimately, Europe currently is in a state of failure, and all countries that have adopted their various brands of socialism. China is the epic example of a society that had its imagination robbed from it in 1949–and is now the biggest weakness of their entire society. They are vulnerable. Where they have tried to hide this by holding the debts of other nations–so that they could justifiably steal the intellectual work of other nations–they can easily be exposed–and Trump knows it. Therefore, their end is near and they did it to themselves.
