Roger Reynolds is Suing the Great Nancy Nix: A claim of quo warrento going to the Supreme Court of Ohio

If there was ever a case that expressed more clearly the need for civilian oversight of government affairs then it would be the Roger Reynolds case in Butler County, Ohio, where he is suing the great Nancy Nix for his old job as an auditor.  Whenever money is involved, there will be a lot of scrutiny, and the auditor’s job is one of those that naturally has a big target on it.  In Butler County, Kay Rogers had to go to jail for criminal conduct when she held that position.  It is sometimes hard to distinguish good intentions from malicious conduct, and I thought the Kay case was ticky-tacky and more politically motivated than anything.  But Roger Reynolds stepped into that role through an appointment and then proceeded to win several elections after that and was an excellent auditor that people respected.  Even when Roger had a target placed on him as well, and he was accused of an illegal interest in a public contract, Roger still won an election even as he was awaiting sentencing for a jail term.  I thought what was being done to Roger was unfair, even abusive.  And during it all, nobody stood by Roger Reynolds more than Nancy Nix.  Once Roger was convicted of a felony on one of the charges against him, he asked his staff to support Nancy, treasurer at the time, to step into his office and continue the excellent work he had started there.  It was not a sure thing then that Nancy would be the next auditor; there were other names in mind and reasons for the names.  So, while Roger had to resign office due to the conviction, Nancy dutifully stepped in to cover Roger’s job while Michael McNamara filled Nancy’s job as treasurer.  Meanwhile, Roger cleared his name through the appeals process in the courts. 

This is one of those cases where I know everyone and what they are all about, including those who were prosecuting Roger Reynolds.  So I have the context to this that many wouldn’t have access to, and from my point of view, I was relieved that Nancy was in that auditor position because of the target on such a powerful seat.  To use a Lord of the Rings metaphor, Nancy is by her nature probably the most resistant to corruption of anybody available, so if someone must carry the ring of power into Mordor and throw it into a pit of lava, Nancy Nix is the person most likely to survive and do the good work needed to save the world.  Even though it was unfair what Roger went through, and it cost him a fortune and many other things, particularly his excellent name in the process, he is a damaged person.  I would love to see him restored in name and health.  I understand his desire for revenge and to return to his office in glory after surviving all he has been through.  But then there is the need for the office and the people of Butler County to get good work done.  What we need in a position is a good auditor working with a good treasurer for the needs of our community and a focus on good government.  We don’t need a revenge tour in a divided political party trying to destroy each other.  It’s for those reasons that we have a process of fulfillment in government offices, and if there is a reason that an elected representative must resign and a new member replaced, we have a primary process that gives the public, ultimately civilian oversight over elected offices that end up with corrupt personalities occupying them.  And the Supreme Court of Ohio is the proper backstop for just such a maniacal twist of fate.

In this effort to restore his name, Roger filed a lawsuit against his former good friend under the premise of quo warrento for the Supreme Court to consider so he could get his old job back.  For some reason, Roger thinks that Nancy can vacate that office and hand it back to him now that he has been restored through the appeals process and found innocent of the charges placed against him.  Because Nancy was appointed to the position to cover for Roger, she gave up her seat to another, and there was no office for Nancy to return to.  The process is set up to avoid chaos, and once appointed, those jobs are filled until the next election.  At that point, the voters are the ultimate arbiters of justice.  If Roger wants his old job back, he would typically go through the primary process and run against Nancy, and the voters would decide.  Instead, Roger wants his job back now, which would wreck many people’s lives, and it certainly would be disruptive to an office already trying to shake off a past of criminal convictions, fair or not.  There is a public stigma that must be overcome, and for me, nobody else in the world is better prepared to overcome that stigma than Nancy Nix, who has a devoted personality and forthcoming nature.  She is the one I want counting the money in Butler County, Ohio. 

In all this, Roger Reynolds has become a lot like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. He is so obsessed with his name clearing in the eyes of the public that he has become something the world despises, which has been surprising.  But it shows how just about anybody can fall off the rocker and lose their minds under duress, which is precisely why we can never let the government have too much power over us.  In the case of Butler County, the auditor seat requires that much good work needs to be done for the community to function correctly.  So, we must be dedicated to its preservation for the good of voters.  Those jobs don’t exist for those who hold those jobs but for those who need them in public service.  However, politics is a balancing act in a popularity contest, and it is easy for people to find solace in public approval. When you feel bad about something, getting lost in the temptation to seek validity through the election process is easy.  So, while I can understand the need, Roger is looking to have the public restore a sense of value to him.  We still must consider what that value is and to whom it serves.  And when we wonder why we have high courts and laws of the land based on actual value, the Supreme Court of Ohio is something we should all hold in high regard because it keeps for us the process of ultimate civilian oversight so that power doesn’t corrupt the minds of the people we put in office to the point where government becomes diabolically dangerous, and corrupt, which is undoubtedly a temptation when vast amounts of money are involved.  And why, if I have to pick one person over another who guards that money, it’s Nancy Nix who can bring that value to the people of Butler County and not become just another Gollum that will give the office a further lousy name.  No, we need an auditor who can’t even have the stigma of corruption implanted upon it.  Over the last two years, Nancy has stepped into that role; when asked to, she has exceeded even the highest expectations, which is the point of the office in the first place.  That office exists for the people of Butler County and their needs for good government.  Not for those who might fill those seats on a path of personal redemption.

The Phantom Menace of Jack Smith: Yes, you can indict a ham sandwich

It’s a question that comes up all the time, especially in regard to the federal prosecutor and United Nations lap dog, Jack Smith: can you indict a ham sandwich?  Well, I have much to say on this topic from many perspectives.  Recently, I received a card in the mail to report to jury duty.  So I went on the day it indicated and sat in a courtroom with about 100 other people.  I happened to know a lot of the people putting the whole thing on, and we had some discussions beforehand about what was happening and what everyone expected.  I went to court expecting the judge to let me go because honestly, my life is too busy for these kinds of things.  But during a conversation, I got a good measure of just how vital the grand jury was.  I had many questions about what happens on that side of the legal profession.  All the judge needed were 15 volunteers; they needed nine jury members, and the rest alternants, in case someone couldn’t attend one day, would be called in as a reserve for the proceedings.  During that process, I was made the foreman, which meant you had to swear everyone in and put your name on all the indictments and other paperwork that would be generated during the process.  Out of those 100 people, there were only 15 volunteers who put their hand up to commit to several weeks of grand jury activity.  The judge had a way of getting 15 jurors out of that group of 100.  But he had just enough volunteers, so he let everyone else go, much to their relief.  Throughout the process, the prosecutor, all the assistants, and everyone in the Butler County Courthouse went out of their way to make everyone feel important.  But a thin veil here took me a few days to sort through.  In that sorting, I learned a lot about our court system, which would allow people like Jack Smith to take advantage of it and make a weapon out of the law for pure political activism.  And to answer the question, yes, you can indict a ham sandwich.

I like Michael Gmoser, the Butler County Prosecutor, and all his assistant prosecutors, and I found things I liked about them all.  I would say that Butler County, Ohio, has a lot of good people working in it, especially in the criminal justice system.  We have an affluent county with many people in it, so we can afford to have jobs for the right people who want to do those jobs.  It’s not like the prosecutor’s office has a bunch of losers like Jack Smith working at it or the other radicals who have presented legal cases against President Trump.  The Butler County prosecutors were all good and engaging as if they wanted to do their jobs and work with a grand jury to put cases in a courtroom before a judge through the indictment process.  But the problem quickly presented itself, and I asked many questions to flush it all out.  The purpose of a grand jury is to provide civilian oversight over the government in the traditions of the American Constitution, which is to preserve the individual rights of people not proven guilty yet by the evidence presented to the court.  It was the grand jury’s job to ensure the government didn’t get out of control.  Now I know that Michael Gmoser believes in that process, politically and practically.  I see many politically active people attached to this law and order process believe the same thing.  But in the trenches of everyday activity, between the prosecutors and the cops working the streets, there is a lot of tired sentiment toward the process that is well deserved.

A grand jury is just a bunch of everyday people who suddenly have to jump into this legal world with people that work every day in that world and know their business.  A prosecutor or assistant can present just about anything they want to a grand jury, and the civilian oversight doesn’t know better than to scrutinize what the evidence tells them about the state’s revised code.  In my particular grand jury, we had all volunteers who wanted to be there, so we had engaged people who asked a lot of questions. When the door was closed for deliberations, we had good debates on the merits of the cases.  To ensure that the process went better, I went out and bought the legal book that the prosecutors were using so that we could flush out the crimes with accurate definitions in context.  And I would say our group was optimal because it had very engaged jurors.  If a judge had to drag people, kicking, and screaming to form a jury pool, as they often do, then the process for the prosecutors would be straightforward: have a jury rubber stamp their recommendations, which was the case in the cases against Trump.  A jury without much experience in law, or even a curiosity to get to know some law in a short grand jury gathering, will be entirely at the mercy of prosecutors who use the process of civilian oversight to impose government overreach against an unsuspecting public filled with lazy people who want to get back to watching television at home. 

So, for much of the summer, I had my criminal law handbook, and I have marked hundreds of laws that I think should be enforced but aren’t because the legal process works against justice by lots of invisible strings that have seeped into our society from a variety of scandalous characters over a vast period.  In Butler County, the prosecutors, as I said, are mostly good.  But in a community with fewer good characters, this process could quickly become a runaway train toward the slippery slopes of corruption. Not enough people know civics, and the prosecutors can manipulate them at will.  Looking through my book on criminal law, I see that if I were a prosecutor, I could prosecute thousands of laws on just about anybody on any given day.  And suppose I had to present evidence to a jury to overcome a defense attorney. In that case, I am sure I could do it successfully on almost anything, including prosecuting a ham sandwich.  The whole process opened my eyes to many more significant problems, but I am very grateful at this stage in my life to have had this experience.  Because it’s one thing to wonder about, it’s quite another to see it for yourself, and in my tenure, I learned a lot of valuable information that moved from the speculation category into fact.  I would say that being on a grand jury is one of the most important things a person could do in their community life.  It’s very much needed.  But it requires even more people to take that job very seriously because many lives depend on it to be done well.  But there are a lot of characters working now in criminal justice who do know how to take advantage of ordinary people on a jury and who don’t know which way is up or down.  And a slick, progressive prosecutor could easily have their way with such people.  In the case of Jack Smith, that makes him even more dangerous in my book, now that I’ve seen the process up close, and with the doors closed for weeks at a time.  I left my experience very proud of the work that was going on in Butler County, Ohio.  However, on a larger scale, these notions of United Nations world courts and Jack Smith’s role in them, openly working against our Constitution to subvert it for some globalist objective, became all too clear.  And for me, perhaps it was just the right thing at the right time to uncover this phantom menace while we still can.

Why Thomas Hall is so Great: If only everyone was so lucky

Fight, fight, fight was the theme of the evening at the GOP tent at the VOA Country Music Festival, where several officeholders and some running for the first time gathered together ahead of the upcoming elections.  It was an excellent time to catch up with everyone. I could speak to many people in a way that I hadn’t done for a long time, which was good.  But what do we mean by fighting and winning in politics?  When I think of such a thing, I think of the young man Thomas Hall, who is the Ohio Representative in my district and is running to hold the seat he currently has.  But he wasn’t always in my district; he used to have the Middletown area, but now, in District 46, he represents Liberty Township and the surrounding areas, which I’m thrilled with.  I’ve seen Thomas Hall in the pressure cooker for a while now, and I supposed he’s not as much of a young man as when he first started in politics.  But I think a lot of him, and for good reason.  I have been meaning, and we didn’t quite get there during this event, to talk to him about his recent trip to Israel, which I am very interested in.  But behind the politics, Thomas Hall is just a good person, one of those cases where he’s better than the package you see.  He’s just a promising young man who has survived the fires of Hell and come out on top, and he looks poised to stay there.  This is a good thing for anybody he represents in the Ohio Statehouse.  He takes his job very seriously, and it shows.  I’ve seen him in Columbus work a room, and if he didn’t have a great foundation to work with, it would be easy to be swept away by lobbyists and other scandalous characters.  But with Thomas, you get the feeling with him that he’s always savvy and under control.  And that any malicious intent that comes his way can easily be handled. 

I’ve met his parents several times at some of these events, but we had more time to talk in August of 2024 than we have in the past.  In some of those previous times, things looked so dire that nobody was sure what would happen next.  Politics, as I have said, is a blood sport; things can and do get pretty wild.  Many people who came to the Country Music Festival at the VOA needed to talk to each other.  It’s been a tough four years since Trump left office, and people have lost focus in some respects.  It’s tough when you are trying to grow the tent of the party to accommodate more people, but those people don’t have the same foundations and strength; when the pressure of politics emerges and moral necessities come into play, it’s easy to drift into decay.  And as a political party, Southern Ohio Republicans needed to break some bread together.  A lot of people get into politics for different reasons, and it’s up to each person to find some reason to have common ground with others for the sake of party politics.  Authenticity can often get abused in such cases, but that was never the case with Thomas Hall, and in some of those times, I referred to his parents as good people who made a good kid.  Thomas’ dad was a former police officer, now a firefighter chief.  His mom is a wonderful enthusiast of the men in her life, her husband and son, and when I see them all together, it’s usually a big family affair.  Thomas has, of course, a love interest who I see around town a lot, and she is always supportive and doing the extra work it takes to run successful campaigns.  When you speak with them, you can tell that they all have good foundations that give them firm ground to stand on no matter what is happening in the world. 

So Thomas always tells me he’s grateful to me for getting through some of these tough times of turmoil where rough campaigns got very heated.  My help pushed him over the top and put him in office so he could do the excellent work he is doing presently and, I hope, well into the future.  And I tell him that he’s the one who did all the hard work, and indeed, there are very few people who work as hard at politics as Thomas Hall.  He gets out and knocks on doors and is very tenacious.  And I’ve seen him working directly with Governor DeWine on legislation that was difficult to make happen, so the elbow-twisting part of politics takes a hard worker, and he has deserved all the success he has had and more.  He doesn’t have to throw appreciation my way.  What I have done for him, I do for many people. He’s referring to a lot that goes on behind the scenes, but I’m happy to do it because I like seeing good people get a chance to do good things in the world.  Like a gardener who pulls up the weeds of a garden to protect the good plants, you are trying to grow while preventing the parasites from destroying everything.  I do what I do because I like seeing the good stuff grow.  And Thomas Hall has grown into a lot of good things. 

So when his parents thanked me for all I have done for their son, I had to tell them what I thought of them, which shows up in Thomas, and I think about it a lot.  They were good parents to him.  Thomas Hall has a great foundation that other people in the world don’t have because they, as parents, gave him a great place to start.  If things get too hot, at least Thomas has a nice family that cares for him.  And it shows.  So, while they intended to thank me, which they did, I would give the credit to all of them.  Thomas is a sincerely good person who is not wasting his talent.  But to his parents for raising a good kid who has grown into a good man, a lot of people would love to be so lucky.  The sense of service that Thomas has picked up from his dad is being applied to Ohio positively.  I’m happy to defend and support anybody like that, and there are others.  Perhaps not as good as Thomas, but in my experience with these kinds of things, a lot of similar personality traits emerge in these kinds of people who get involved in politics and want to represent people in government.  Not everyone has the advantage of a good family on which they can rely.  But Thomas Hall does, and as I told his parents, if anybody should be thanking anybody, the world should be thanking them for producing such a nice young and honest man in the world.  I am personally very proud of Thomas Hall.  But I’m also very proud of his parents.  I wish there were more people in the world like them.  And maybe in the future, there will be.  There is hope in the world that people will follow their example and do better for themselves and others.  Usually, when you meet people who are as well put together as Thomas Hall, good parents at the foundation make it all possible.

Homeland Security Invades Butler County, Ohio: How federal government seeks to undermine local law enforcement for strategic growth of centralized authority

I’m going to cry foul on the raid by Homeland Security into my community where agents from them, and the IRS went door to door on charges of financial crimes and labor exploitation.  Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden’s loser of a Secretary of Homeland Security, looks to be making some election-year posturing, and it was his policies that brought in so many illegal aliens even to make such a raid possible.  The four homes in Liberty Township and other homes up the highway into Dayton are just the tip of the iceberg.  But who let the iceberg into the country?  It was Mayorkas and the lazy and inefficient Homeland Security people who have made America far more dangerous.  As is consistent with many federal agencies, such as the CIA and FBI, they are picking a white-collar crime to get some news splash to look like they are doing something.  Usually, with such theatrics, they have money on their mind as they are looking for Congress to renew their budgets, and dazzling headlines like this raid are their method.  But honestly, it’s too little too late.  Many of the illegals who are being “exploited” were allowed in by the policies of the Biden/Harris White House and the antics of Homeland Security.  From the way it looks, the entire raid from Homeland Security was a pure PR stunt, and they targeted a Dayton company, Fuyao Glass, which happens to be a Chinese outfit, so there is a lot wrong going on here.  However, the problems are mainly under the water, and what Homeland Security did with their exhibition of home-to-home raids, complete with search warrants, is an abuse of authority and a shell game of smoke and mirrors that cannot be tolerated.  Because they caused the problem in the first place, they used their power and authority to disrupt our community even more, using a show of useless force to establish that the federal government has power and that people should hide in their homes and yield to it.

I’ve never endorsed shows of force like this by federal authorities.  They are corrupt at best and detrimental at their core.  However, before my recent experience as the foreman of a grand jury in Butler County, Ohio, the same county where a lot of this Homeland Security business happened, I would have my opinions shaped by skepticism, but not experience.  Now, I have some knowledge, which I very much wanted as I have heard from many prosecutors, police officers, and persons of all kinds about evidence, crimes, and the day-to-day function of law enforcement.  Now, let’s get one thing straight: I love law enforcement, and I love law.  I love our state legislature.  I love our judges in Butler County.  And I think a lot of our Sheriff.  I love our prosecutor.  I love establishing a law-and-order society built on biblical context as a natural extension of our American Constitution and the state-revised code and criminal law that spawns directly from it.  So, I was happy to say yes to an opportunity to be a grand jury foreman.  For me, that’s like giving Ralphie, the kid from the Christmas Story movie his first Red Ryder BB gun.  I would express my time on the grand jury as one of the best things I have done this year because it satisfied an itch I have had for a lifetime.  I have seen all these cases and read all the indictments in the paper prior, and I want to know why and how cases get prosecuted and how the process works from the top down.  And when you are on the grand jury, you get to be the top cop of your community for your term.  And when you understand the 10th Amendment, that makes you the top cop in the land of the free, and I like that, to say it mildly. 

Yet I could walk any cop or prosecutor straight to the home of many drug sellers and abusers.  I could go around my community as a vigilante like Batman and uproot many sex trafficking cases and drug busts to fill many newspapers, so it is very frustrating to me to see all the cases that don’t get busted.  And it’s been a mystery to me.  I have speculated a lot about why things happen the way they do, but now that I have experience as the grand jury’s foreman, I understand very well what’s going on.  Even if the police themselves aren’t allowed to say it, and let me tell everyone, I will put this experience to good use for years.  To say it mildly. 

While I can’t talk about specific cases, I can talk about the generalities of the overall experience, and one question I have always had is, if we know there is a drug house selling lots of drugs and poisoning our community, why don’t we storm in and get all the punks and lock them up and throw away the key?  Well, based on many hours of testimony by police who do these kinds of things every day, a clear picture emerges that is part of a larger pattern of concealment for which they are powerless to do anything.  One such hypothetical is a drug enforcement group that knows a drug house is selling, and they are about to make their move for a bust.  They have spent months collecting evidence, getting their warrant, and are about to take action.  But then the Feds come in, such as the FBI, and they beat them to the punch.  In one scenario that I’m thinking of specifically, the Feds kicked in the door, and the local drug enforcement guys lost visibility on the occupants for over 30 minutes, plenty of time to flush all the drugs down the toilet and destroy a lot of evidence ahead of the official investigation.  The Fed then throws their investigation into perpetual bureaucratic hell; the local guys lose their evidence and can only arrest possession of little bits still in the pockets of the perpetrators.  The big picture is never dealt with because Federal investigations often destroy the strings linking them to prosecution, such as what that Homeland Security raid was.  And that’s essentially why prosecutions don’t go further to the drug cartels themselves, and our local agents can only get indictments on the pushers they catch on the street, isolating the big guys from the higher crimes.  The crimes are covered up by purposeful negligence and federal agents trumping local ones with jurisdiction infractions that keep the story of crime from ever being told.  And they count on little raids like this one in Butler County with Homeland Security to hide the significant crimes they are guilty of allowing to happen in the first place.  It’s the same kind of negligence that was seen with the Secret Service that allowed a sniper shooter onto a roof in Pennsylvania to kill President Trump.  It’s a game that federal agencies, very politically motivated, have been playing for a long time.  And it is they who cause most of our troubles.  And our local people in law enforcement are continuously being disrespected by this process.  And I know how and why it’s happening now more than ever because I have seen it up close.  And I’m not happy about it.  So yeah, I’m not keen on what Homeland Security did in my community with their exhibitions of force in raiding homes and taking evidence so that neighbors would see the federal government at work trying to clean up a mess they caused but seeking public adulation for crimes they allowed to happen in the first place, for purely political monstrosities of doom and malice designed to topple our nation from within for enemies both foreign and domestic.  And anything attached to Alejandro Mayorkas should be viewed as a threat to the American way of life, including going door to door to impose federal power on innocent people for a show of force meant to suppress freedom and prosperity among free people just minding their own business.  I would say, based on my experience, those illegal aliens were let into the country to create the opportunity to get a warrant so that the federal government could impose power over local authorities and attempt to diminish local law enforcement in a grab for power and stronger centralized power in government that has as its goal a much more sinister plot unfolding as we speak.

‘Unhumans’ Try to Kill Trump: God’s divine war with the rebels of his council

You have to give Trump credit; he had just been shot.  At the time, he wasn’t sure how badly or even if all the killers were gone and the danger averted.  But when he could get back to his feet after the first assassination attempt on an American president in more than 40 years, his instinct was to pump his fist in the air and yell to the crowd to fight; after of course, they found his shoes and put them back on him.  Trump wouldn’t be walking around looking like a fool without his shoes.  But he also didn’t know where the cameras were or what they would show.  But during all this action and his management of terror and death, one of the most iconic pictures of all time was blasted around the world, and a spell was broken that instantly melted the efforts of the globalist, communist movement, for which Joe Biden and Barack Obama were deeply committed to.  And the world has rallied to that monstrously bold image that is as pro-America as anything that was ever done.  As terrible as it was, the assassination attempt and the explicit metaphor of missing Trump with an act of divine providence was the best thing that could have happened.  It was a “what if” scenario. If America could have gone back and prevented the Kennedy assassination, how would it change everything that happened after that?  If that bullet had been just a quarter of an inch closer to his head and not just clipped his ear, we’d be having a very different conversation.  The public execution of an American President would have happened on live television, and the emotions would have been so great that there would have been a civil war that would have unleashed great violence across America.  And the ‘Unhumans’ behind America’s destruction would have gotten their way. 

The photo of our country and all its history

But America was saved by just a few fractions of an inch, and Trump instinctively knew what to do after years of being a brand builder; he pumped his fist in the air with defiance, and his courage captured the world positively.  Real courage is the kind many people, especially the Unhumans, thought they had long ago destroyed in America.  It was ironic because I was reading Jack Posobiec’s book Inhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions while watching that Trump rally live, and as soon as the assassination attempt happened, I thought it would be the next chapter in that very timely book which everyone should be reading.  It’s an excellent, well-written book, and that falls on the shoulders of Joshua Lisec, the local ghostwriter from Dayton.  Jack’s new book, published by WarRoom Books, has the goods, and everyone should read it, every kid in every classroom.  Before they gather around the dinner table, every family should hold hands and count their blessings while talking about the contents of this book.  This is serious stuff, and the danger is very much real, even if people pay more attention to the baseball scores and where Taylor Swift’s next concert will be, as a grand distraction from the harsh realities of life.  Inhumans capture the situation properly, we are presently in the middle of a communist revolution designed in Europe to destroy all American sovereignty, and until that assassination attempt on Trump’s life, nothing was stopping the assailants.  They were everywhere and involved in everything.  However, they were unprepared to miss Trump’s head during a campaign speech in Butler, Pennsylvania, drawing just enough blood to provide a compelling image that would positively capture the world’s imagination.  At the core of all communist revolutions are the plights of anti-God, bloodthirsty demons and their rebellion against God from an overthrow of the Divine Council, as expressed in Psalm 82, and God wanted that picture as an expression of Divine Providence.  That is the only way to explain the majesty of that moment and what happened after that. 

Of course, the way the media is going to tell the story is that the killer, a 20-year-old kid, was acting alone and was provoked by the divisions of our country until he became so upset that he grabbed his dad’s gun and went to a Trump rally to kill what he thought was causing all the trouble, President Trump.  After all, the advocates of this most recent communist revolution had been saying that Trump was the greatest threat to the New World Order that there was, and all these kids have been taught in their public schools that their future is communism.  So Thomas Crooks, fresh from a BlackRock commercial the year before, went to go and kill the president, which would have been a bloody stoke toward a complete communist revolution.  And like the Kennedy killing years before, where the CIA had set the stage and provided the second shooter, this assassination attempt would have all the same kind of elements, and it would have been a defining moment for national television providing a live execution on air.  They had tried to bankrupt Trump; they had wanted to throw him in jail for hundreds of years; they had tried to smear him and his family.  Jail his supporters.  They have tried to destroy Trump in every way a person could be killed, yet Trump was still out giving rallies in massive public appearances.  This assassin’s bullet was meant to crush America on live television and remove all hope of Making America Great Again. 

Yes, there are methods of manipulating a human brain to create malice beyond their control.  In more spiritual times, we would call that demonic possession, where an innocent person is taken over by a rebel of God and manipulated into chaos and aggression against the terrestrial elements of society.  But these days, we might not see those demons from God’s Divine Council because science prevents speculation.  But yes, the CIA has been experimenting with these methods of controlling people’s minds for years, especially in the 1960s.  The effort was well chronicled through released statements, not to mention what has remained classified.  And now, in 2024, don’t assume that your dreams and thoughts are always yours.  How images come to the mind of a person isn’t always private.  Why does an idea pop into your mind? Don’t assume that you have complete control and autonomy.  Part of the Unhuman movement that Jack is talking about in his new book has captured these occult practices and made them weapons of war, and they’ve been getting by with it because people don’t understand how a friendly, intelligent kid from a nice family, and a registered Republican to match, could become a killer assassin knowing that his life would be over the moment he pulled the trigger into a crowd at a Trump rally.  So he thought the purpose of his life would be a revolution for the movement, to destroy any hope of Making America Great Again by destroying that hope, President Trump.  This is precisely why the communist movement in America has been specifically to corrupt the youth against the nation of their parents, and it is being done in our public schools openly now.  They don’t even bother to hide it.  People have yet to understand it and how much of it is a genuine and scary thing.  I would recommend everyone read Jack’s new book.  It will answer many of the questions people are asking now, such as why, how, and who was involved.  But this time, God did step in and give America a boost to his pick for President, in direct rebellion from the demons of that Divine Council and the war in the Heavens that has permeated for many thousands of years and unfolded upon the sunbaked summer sky of a Trump rally in Pennsylvania where nothing short of the fate of the human race played out for millions to see.  And what God provided was the bloody image of a divine fighter throwing a fist to the sky in defiance of the kind of communism the Unhumans were unleashing.  And to have the American flag flying in the background to announce to the world that America is that light on the hill that they can all trust and follow and that the demons of the universe will not win through their communist movement.  To say the least, we are living to fight another day, but who we are fighting is well articulated in Jack Posobiec’s book, Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and how to crush them).  I would say, buy it faster than yesterday, and read it even faster, and share it with friends and family.

Why the Police Tend to Molest Kids: We can never trust people in authority positions, they need to be watched carefully

I went to get a Chester’s Pizza the other day and went to pick it up, and there were a couple of corrections officers there doing the same.  So obviously, the discussion about the Butler Tech kid who had formed sexual relationships with inmates at the Butler County jail while working as a 17-year-old intern came up.  We were making small talk and discussing pizzas.  They were dressed up in the uniform, and one thing led to another, so I had to ask them, “How could a kid like that get along with the inmates?  How is that possible?”  They answered that there were so many bad things out there that nobody could stop them.  “If people want to do something, they’re going to do it.”  We all grabbed our pizzas, said our “See ya’ laters,” and continued our day.  However, their comment is undoubtedly applicable to many people who look at these public servants; whether it be the police or a superintendent of a government school, we see a massive disconnect between unionized employees of any kind and direct responsibility.  And when pressed, all the adults in the room shrug their shoulders and say, “What do you want us to do?”  This lack of care for the well-being of children bothers many people.  They don’t understand it, especially mothers who instinctively will lay down their very lives for the protection of a child.  And a 17-year-old girl under the adult care of a school of any kind is still a child.  This media story has caused a lot of people to tell stories about their lives and experiences with the police and what their expectations of law enforcement are.  One that struck me over the last several weeks mentioned expertise with law enforcement Explorer posts from many years ago, which gives insight into this massive problem.

When I was a kid, from 13 to around 16, I was in a High Adventure Explorer Post, a coed division of the Boy Scouts of America designed to give the participants lifelong skills in leadership and adventure.  I have made great use of it over the years, and it’s a program that should be available to as many kids as possible.  The whole thing ended for me when, on a warm Friday night in February, I was scheduled to meet a bunch of kids for a fight in the middle of nowhere.  One of them ended up getting killed by gunfire.  And my squeaky clean public persona went under serious scrutiny.  Just that very day, I gave a speech at GE Aviation in Evendale to future Explorers and was elected Vice President of the Dan Beard Council.  After the killing, my time on that board had lasted less than 24 hours, but it was good while it lasted.  I loved the Explorer groups, and every year at Camp Friedlander in August, all the area Explorer Posts would get together to compete in a kind of Olympics, and it was always exciting.  It allowed us to get to know other kids in other explorer posts and learn what they did.  I looked forward to those competitions every year and could tell many stories.  However, one thing that I did know was that the members of the Police and Fire Fighting Explorer Posts always had troubled people in them.  That fine line between being a personality drawn to power and authority and one that will abuse that relationship with other people was common regarding the kids in those groups.

Before we go down that rabbit hole, though, I can also say I was very active in my church.  And I was very close with our local pastor.  So much so that I would sleep in his tent when we went on youth camping trips; now, this guy was average in all aspects of life by outward appearance.  And he was, of course, smart when it came to scripture.  But when I was in a tent with him, he couldn’t stop himself from being nude in front of me—all the time.  If I was just a fraction less cynical than I am naturally, I’m sure there would be stories of molestation.  But my personality repeals those types of things, and it always has.  So there was never any of that.  But that Pastor wanted there to be.  And that went on until my adult life, as he ended up marrying my wife and me.  And his overtly sexual behavior carried on whenever we’d meet.  At the church’s Passion plays, he always wanted us to dress authentically like Jesus and the criminals in just a little towel.  If the towel fell off, we’d be nude to the audience, but he wanted authenticity.  Over the years, I have learned the hard way, between my church and the Explorer Post dealings, that people in power and authority usually have problems with sexual depravity because sex requires a dominator and a domination receiver during the shared experience.  So abuses happen often, and this leads to permissive behavior as if they want to yell at the world, “well, you want cops; this is what cops do.”  They abuse their authority as studs in the barn.  What else would they do? 

Well, while we’re telling old stories, I can say that I have personally employed several personalities who went on to be police officers.  I know the personality type very well.  One couple that I was very good friends with was not shy about being swingers, and they very much wanted to be friends with my wife and me.  So much so that I had parties at my house, and they would attend.  But in their relationship as a married couple, they were in open marriages.  She slept with anybody who wanted to in the Springboro police department.  And he moved on from me to become a cop in Hamilton.  He was a good-looking young man who was very smart.  And brutal.  He was an early version of the cage fighters we see in the MMA today.  But I liked him, even though I knew he and his wife, and most of the cops in Hamilton and Springboro, as well as Mason, were very sexually active.  That guy got himself into a lot of trouble as he and his friends were pulling over carloads of girls and having them perform sexual favors to get out of traffic tickets.  He got fired once the story got out because it was too overt for the union to protect him.  And when he called me for a job referral from Florida, I couldn’t give him one.  My opinion about all this now is that sexual deviancy is so prevalent, especially among authority figures, that people are numb to it.  They accept that it happens, so it continues to happen often.  And we should expect it to be a problem, not something that should surprise us.  This is dangerous because once a society accepts something, it becomes normalized.  And that is what has happened to all our government unions who are in power positions over other people.  The temptation to abuse that authority is just too great, and their collective bargaining units keep them from ever taking responsibility for bad behavior once they get caught.  When the outside world sees this, they get agitated because people generally want justice.  They want to trust these people.  But I have learned enough over the years to say you can’t trust them.  You can expect them to do their job but don’t take your eye off them.  The moment you do, they will be trying to climb into the backseat of a car with a 14-year-old girl with ill intentions on their mind.  We need cops.  We need people in authority positions.  But my advice would be to never turn your back on them.  And never put a 17-year-old girl in jail as a piece of meat dangled before a bunch of lions.  Those correctional officers were well aware of what would happen and created a permissive environment for detriment to occur.  And when they were all caught, they looked at you dumbfounded as if to say, “What do you expect us to do?”  They generally don’t have it in them to do the right thing.  And we should never expect them to do so without careful checks on their power by the media and public, forcing them to live up to a higher standard.  They won’t do it on their own.

All Unionized Labor Should Be Illegal if Tax Money is Involved: They want to be highly paid without the results to justify it

There is, of course, more to the story.  I certainly heard the exasperation in the Louder with Crowder team as they investigated the horrendous story of the massive mishandling of a Butler Tech intern at the Butler County jail, which led to sex and the corruption of a minor in really disastrous ways.  As the story unfolded and all the adults involved pointed at each other for the blame, I saw on people’s faces and could hear in their words that they were exasperated by the lack of responsibility provided by the adults.  And here’s the thing: just a few days before this story broke, I had a chance to talk to Sheriff Jones quite a bit, and I am sure he and I agree on much more than we disagree with.  If we watched a bunch of old westerns on a Saturday afternoon, we would likely like the same things about them and share a sense of justice that would be enjoyable.  As people, as it is with most people, we agree on most things.  If we had a Thanksgiving dinner together, along with a bunch of other random people, I know there would be a lot more in common than not.  Differences occur when individual people try to bend themselves toward group-oriented consensus, where they toss their values out the window in trade for the power of group rule.  And that is what is going on with this Butler County case and why all the adults are complicit.  And why is the little girl being prosecuted while all the adults slither into the background to hide behind their labor unions and collective bargaining agreements?  This is why they are in labor unions so that the power of the group can leverage responsibility away from them in case something goes wrong, which it certainly did in this case. 

Probably the most guilty person in all this is the Butler Tech teacher, Aaron Fitzgerald, who ran the criminal justice program and was responsible for putting that 17-year-old girl unsupervised into a jail with a bunch of criminals and murderers, so often that she established sexual relationships with them.  Even more, some of the inmates were claiming her as a wife and were trying to “lock her down,” so we aren’t talking about a casual mistake that happened once or twice.  It happened repeatedly, systemically, and it was how Aaron Fitzgerald ran his program and the dangers he put the kids in with his permissive attitude. I would further blame the board at Butler Tech for their permissive, progressive attitudes about sex and their behavior in public, such as Julie Shaffer from the Lakota school board has shown to all the adults in charge, and the breadcrumbs of the blame certainly fall at their doorstep.  The Louder with Crowder crew went to Aaron’s house to talk to him about this case, and he freaked out.  But what was revealed was that he had a nice home in a very nice neighborhood.  That in itself isn’t uncommon in Butler County, Ohio.  But his sense of entitlement is something we had just witnessed on the whole Lakota schools superintendent issue, where reckless sexual lifestyles destroyed that guy once the public learned just how bad they were.  These are unionized employees with a sense of entitlement that is common in most labor union activity, where they want to be paid top dollar for some of the worst results that come from any labor activity.  They want all the money without any responsibility.  And when they get into trouble, as they certainly have in Butler County, Ohio, they circle the wagons and blame everyone who isn’t in the union.  In this case, the only person without a labor union relationship is the little girl. 

Over the years, I have argued this point extensively, and the impact of the disaster hasn’t changed.  I think it should be illegal for any labor union to be connected in any way to a taxpayer dollar.  We went down that path in 2012 when we thought we had a good governor in Kasich before everyone got a hold of him and destroyed him into just another progressive.  Sheriff Jones and I were on opposite ends of that issue, and they managed to hang on to their government unions for a while longer.  These days, President Trump has the labor union vote, so everyone is in a big Republican tent these days on the issue.  But it doesn’t change what labor unions are.  And what you get with them is too expensive, and the performance is terrible.  In this Butler Tech case, the measure of success is whether they have kids to put in the program.  Not what they learn or what happens to them along the way.  Unionized labor attached to government has been a disaster, and what you get from them is a horrendous performance with a perpetual sense of entitlement, like they are owed their jobs.  And they don’t feel they have to compete with anybody else to have them.  Then, when something goes wrong, they collectively circle the wagons and protect each other from the results.  Their goals are not in performance but in concealment and protection from expectations in results. 

Sheriff Jones, the same guy who talks to me about law and order and not putting up with terrorists coming into our community, took the union position on this Butler County jail case, saying that their prosecution of the girl was based on her admission.  And that all the kids sign a waiver (I don’t think sodomizing kids was on the sheet) and that she was almost 18, so that’s close enough.  She could be hired into the jail in a few months anyway.   And he said these things to reporters, thinking they were perfectly acceptable statements in a sane world.  And I know he doesn’t believe any of those things, yet he was saying them, as all brotherhood members do when one of them gets into trouble.  That’s why those kinds of people seek union membership.  And labor unions aren’t just a disaster in government occupations.  In the private sector, if you call up a supplier looking for your thing, and the person you are talking to can see it on a shipping dock through a window, waiting for someone to put it on a skid to be loaded onto a truck.  But they can’t load it themselves because they need a union guy to do it, so they have to wait for him to come off his 4-hour break, watching Loony Toons on his cell phone to load the truck.  That is how it is with all unionized labor and why they aren’t competitive in the world marketplace.  They cost too much, do too little, and when you need to know who’s responsible, they never admit to anything.  When they get into trouble, they rally behind their brother and sisterhoods to protect each other from judgment.  And that is why everyone involved gets away with horrendous behavior.  The only people who pay are those who are not in the union.  The union members, or those who directly benefit from the unionized labor, get away with everything because it’s part of their collective bargaining strategy.  If you try to pin them down on something then they take the labor away completely, making enforcement of policy nearly impossible.  So everyone just avoids punishment and discipline from bad decisions.  And it’s so disgraceful that it takes logic and good people and turns them into grotesque monsters who perpetuate evil to get easy and unearned paychecks, as is the case with Aaron Fitzgerald and many others.

Dave Yost for Ohio Governor: The world needs people wearing more cowboy hats

I think it’s a great idea, with Attorney General Dave Yost of Ohio becoming the next governor.  I thought it was even better when I attended a recent event for Yost where the announcement was formally made, and I saw that he was wearing a cowboy hat.  That’s what the future of Ohio needs, and America in general in a post-Biden, second term of Trump, are more people wearing cowboy hats because, to me, cowboy hats stand for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.  Growing up, that was always the mantra of Superman, and I knew there was trouble in the 1990s when comic book publishers and entertainment producers stopped letting anybody say that term because they knew what they were up to.  Globalism was about destroying personal references of excellence, whether individual or national, and Superman’s statement was undoubtedly against the new rules of global citizenship.  But when I wear a cowboy hat, that is what I think about and want to project to the world: Truth, Justice, and the American Way.  And when Trump is back in office, that is on the menu, and it will need to be for many years.  I would consider it the top issue of our modern times.  And the entire world is looking to us to be all that and, even more, to carry a light for them to follow into eternity.  But first, we must survive the present and a dark menace that has permeated the human race since the dawn of time.  And to beat it, the world needs a few more cowboy hats.  And I was thrilled to see many people, including the Attorney General, wearing a cowboy hat to this event in Butler County in the middle of June 2024, just a few months ahead of the Trump election for a second term. 

It’s been a while since I spoke to Sheriff Jones, one of the people at the Yost event.  Over the years, we have gotten along on some issues very well but not so much on others.  However, as it has come up often recently, as there have been a lot of contentious fights within the Butler County Republican Party, the trick is that we want a big tent.  And with a big tent, there are many people who come from a variety of backgrounds and commitment levels.  There are some very passionate people in the Republican Party, especially at the Central Committee level, who live, breathe, and will crawl through broken glass naked to fight for what’s right, and they have very little tolerance for a political class that is in it for the money, fame, or power that comes with holding a public office.  But, we do need money, fame, and some level of ruthlessness to solve many of the problems that we have in the world, which is why I have been saying since 2015 that Trump would be the best representative for the head of the Republican Party.  Getting here has been a long journey, and I want to see a big tent Republican Party.  I tend to find things I have in common with people when I do team-building activities.  I stay away from the things I disagree with.  When Sheriff Jones and I talked a bit, we agreed on a lot, especially in law and order.  Which I think will be a significant theme in America over the next decade.  I want a strong sheriff in my community, a big, imposing guy, and a gunslinger, to be honest.  And one who supports gunslingers to ensure that we have Truth, Justice, and the American Way preserved for future generations, no matter what.  Defenders of the Constitution need to be ruthlessly vigorous toward committing to justice for all.  I also want a strong attorney general.  I want strong members of the Senate and representatives.  And I want a powerful governor on the frontier of law and order.  Crime and illegal immigration that have expanded the drug trade are core problems that will take vigilance in lofty quantities.

I am even more strict than the Sheriff regarding the death penalty for crimes. But Jones is pretty close to my own thoughts. Save money with the trial and court lawyers. Justice is what matters most.

I was proud of Sheriff Jones and his bit on Fox Nation, which was very good and played at this event.  That is what all sheriffs in America should strive to be.  Jones projected on a big stage how I wanted Butler County, Ohio, to be known to the world, and he has managed to maintain a big platform that projects that commitment to law and order to a corrupt world that might think better of bringing their mess to our community.  But if they do, we must be ready to deal with them.  Jones has a plan for that, too, which we talked about.  I am perfectly fine with discussing philosophical differences in a big-tent Republican Party with people all over the spectrum of ideology.  But to do that, we have to beat the bad guys, which the Republican Party can certainly rally behind and will need to do in the coming months and years.   And if Sheriff Jones calls me, he has my number, day or night, and requires some community support to pursue law and order, I am there, by the bucket load—no question or hesitation.  I am happy that we have him as a sheriff and a police force to deal with threats to our lives and livelihoods.  But sometimes they need our help, and he knows from me that he has that help anytime, especially if diabolical terrorists are running around from dumb, dumb Biden’s open border policies intent on the destruction of America by hostile domestic enemies, such as George Soros and his mega-donors of billionaires from the World Economic Forum.  Failure is not an option when it comes to law and order. 

I have heard about this Dave Yost for Governor ticket for a while now, and I like how it is shaping up.  I don’t know who else from the Republican Party is planning to make a serious run; the Attorney General is the first to make his intentions known, as it does take a few years to build up the brand for such a thing.  And I like some of the people becoming part of that Yost ticket.  I am becoming increasingly excited about it day by day.  By the time that election happens, Trump will be in year two of his second term, and there are a lot of bad guys in the world who need justice brought to their doorsteps. I want Ohio to be one of those states.  As I saw Dave Yost greeting people in his cowboy hat, and tall, imposing body, I could see a future that looked much brighter than the one we had been dealing with.  These dark days of Biden could be coming to an end along with all the domestic terrorism of Barack Obama and his band of misfits from the Weather Underground.  I want someone like Dave Yost working with the Trump administration in that governor’s seat.  Sheriff Jones is on board and has been working with Trump for a long time.  Butler County is covered, but we need all of Ohio headed in that direction. So yes, we put our disagreements aside and put the party first, and we had a group hug.   We needed it because justice is required; there are plenty of bad guys to go after, and we will.  And on that, we can all agree.

The War on Porn and the Hustler Store in Monroe, Ohio: How the political left lied about sex and sophistication–and economic development

Yes, they lied to you when they said that sex peddling was a victimless crime.  When the great argument between Simon Leis and Larry Flint in Cincinnati, Ohio, over smut in the country’s cleanest city became the talk of the world in the 1970s, the crazed owner of Hustler would go to jail for his industry of indecency.  The political left has always tried to use sex as a free speech topic, just as they are doing with pot and transgender issues now.  The radical sex education that we are now seeing in public schools started a long time ago, and the more we let them get away with it, the more they kept coming.  We ended up with a Hustler of Hollywood store in Butler County, Ohio, right down the road from my house.  Larry Flint wanted revenge for all that happened to him as he was prosecuted by Leis and driven in the media over the edge of existence by Charlie Keating.  Flint would do then as he did with President Trump and put out a bounty for any dirt he could get on political figures who stood against him.  And in the case of Keating, he put out publicly, with free speech, a bounty for the rape of Keating’s daughter, which occurred on April 12th, 1977, in Burnet Woods on the University of Cincinnati campus.  I had a front-row seat to all of it, and I remember why Flint said he wanted to put that Hustler of Hollywood at our Butler County Monroe exit.  It was to attack the morality of Cincinnati that they couldn’t stop the porn advocates under the banner of using the First Amendment to undermine our entire society.  And when people traveled down I-75 from the north into the Cincinnati city limits, the first thing they would see was a porn shop run by Larry Flint, which is still standing.

But the story doesn’t end there.  What many people don’t know is that the mob bankrolled Larry Flint, the same crime families that had been running the sex shops and strip clubs in Newport, Ohio, and Covington across the river from Cincinnati.  I have talked about my employment by the mob before, from restaurants on Chester Rd in Sharonville to Mike Fink’s on the river of Ohio, and I can say that even in the 80s, the mob was still very active in cleaning their crime money through legitimate businesses.  The smut business was an easy cover for their other crimes because it attracted the attention of the public.  The FBI was in on the game, too; over time, the mobs became tired of running from the FBI, so they became the leaders, and it all went back to the first top cop, J. Edger Hoover, Bobby Kennedy, and the Beverly Hills Supper Club.  But what kept everyone from digging into the blood-soaked streets that might scare away convention businesses across the river in Cincinnati was that people like Larry Flint were valuable distractions so the mobs could operate without fear of prosecution.   It was just another form of a Cloward and Piven strategy that we see now happening on such a grand scale.  That’s because they learned it from the mobs in Cincinnati and the battles with Larry Flint during the early 70s, 80s, and 90s.  But as Clinton was in the White House, the smut kings felt untouchable.  The internet was coming along but was not yet the free porn provider that it is now, so another business moved in next to the Hustler property in Monroe with the same kind of intentions.  It was Bristol’s topless strip club that was right in the heart of Butler County, off the highway, and became an embarrassment that still permeates to this day. 

From around the mid-1990s until 2010, Bristol’s was a little strip club intent on destroying community values in one of the most family-friendly areas of the entire state, and it was an attack.  I knew many people who went there, and I knew people who worked there.  So, I know pretty explicitly what went on.  In the back of the place, there was a sizeable outside playground where clothing was optional, and anybody could play volleyball with topless young girls.  The place was a major blight on our community in Butler County, and it all started with Larry Flint wanting to desecrate the Cincinnati area’s family values purposely.  But even more so, behind all that was organized crime using porn and compromised men to control them politically.  Because who in their right mind could resist the temptation of 22-year-old girls and their boobies?  Not many, and to this day, most people drive by that location and pretend it’s not there.  Because they are ashamed of what they did there, and they’d love to forget about it; these days, with the government learning from the mob how to control mass populations with porn, it’s free and easy to get on the internet.  But that is another story of destruction that we haven’t yet dealt with.  But when we drive by the Hustler Store in Monroe, Ohio, it’s doing what Larry Flint wanted to do, and that reminds everyone that he was in charge because he was the provider of the forbidden fruit human beings couldn’t resist.  And ultimately, he could control society through their vices.  That’s why the mobsters put Larry Flint up as their front guy.  And he did his job well for them. 

By 2018, the Bristol property had closed and was torn down.  Despite being one of the country’s hottest commercial real estate properties, it remains empty.  Every time I look at it, I think it would be an excellent location for a Love’s Travel Center.  I have been everywhere in the country, and few highways stops are as great as that one in Monroe.  I think I have been to every exit up and down I-75 from Michigan to Florida, I-71, and many along I-70, I-80, and I-90.  And the old Bristol property next to the Hustler of Hollywood location is enormous.  There has been talk of a car dealership moving into the site, but there has not been much activity.  Why? Because it’s a scar from the past when strippers compromised many Butler County men away from their wives and families.  Most people now stop by that highway access port and avoid looking in that direction to avoid shame.  And that is the price of smut on economic activity.  What the political left sold as sophisticated free speech was just a mobster’s position of hiding their crime syndicates with vice and immorality.  And you always end up with a society that has fallen from grace and is empty of resolve, which ends up in a degraded state.  People like Larry Flint were purposefully evil and looking to turn the American Constitution on its head for the destruction of our country and to desecrate anybody who might try to save it from people like him.  And to this day, the effects of that war are still constant reminders of what happened in Monroe, Ohio.  Instead of being a thriving place, which Monroe deserves, it has a haze of guilt over it that makes it come across as just another truck stop exit catering to the needs of lonely truckers and their dirty need for unregulated sex.  And it’s messy, and Larry Flint stuck his sign of smut in the ground for us to forever see.  And he laughed at us as he did it while many men who might have stood against it snuck away from their homes to enjoy the temptations of misspent youth playing nude volleyball within view of the southbound ramp to I-75.  And there was nothing any moralist could do about it because it was a legally protected operation.  The mob had moved into the government, and before anybody could dig too deep, most people were compromised and could not stop it.  These guys played for keeps, and we have the kind of government we do today, primarily because of those efforts by Larry Flint and his Hustler enterprise.  There were a lot of casualties in that smut war, and the guilt of that war is still very much alive and well by the lack of good development at that Hustler site, which continues to hold back economic growth in Butler County that otherwise would have thrived.  Which, of course, answers the question about morality and economic activity.  The political left indeed lied, just as the Bible said they would.  But only too late did anybody realize just how much.

Oh, sure, we’ve all heard it before.  Mind your own business.  Don’t stick your nose of morality into my life.  It’s all about free speech and freedom of choice.  Well, I care about my community, and the decisions of these smut peddlers have lowered the value of property in my community, and I have always taken it personally.  As a legal premise, there is no legal “greater good” over “individual value.”  There is case law that leans away from individual value and favors the greater good, but those arguments are rooted in interpretive mistakes.  Because the same kind of thing is going to happen with pot legalization.  There are consequences for bad decisions, and porn was always a bad decision.  And we can see the results of that bad decision at that Monroe exit.  Sure, people own the property and have a right to do what they want with it.  Until they impact the lives of other people, which is what that history of porn in Monroe has left us all tarnished with.  And is a lesson we should all be learning from and applying to legislation and zoning in the future.

Sheriff Jones on Glenn Beck: Talking out of both sides, especially when it comes to Darbi Boddy

As much as I think we all want to get behind Sheriff Jones’ terrorist watch initiative in Butler County, Ohio, I couldn’t help but wonder if the same guy talking on the Glenn Beck Radio Show was the person who had stripped away the CCW of school board member Darbi Boddy, over a bogus civil protection order filed against her.  Anybody with any logic knows that Sheriff Jones has played his part in allowing another school board member, Isaac Adi, to file a motion of protection against Darbi Boddy essentially over pure politics.  The lawyers who run the Lakota school board don’t want someone like Darbi, a staunch conservative MAGA type of community representative negotiating labor contracts with the radical leftist teacher’s union, so they have all worked in the background to find some way to remove Darbi from the school board by some legal nonsense such as this civil protection order that Isaac filed against Darbi, constructed on the back of a napkin and abused by several political figures in the know.  This is a clear case of abuse of government power to subvert the will of the voters who put Darbi in office.  But because these political figures, and their legal handlers reject who the voters put in their political club, they have turned toward the power of abusive government to edit that decision in a vile and disgusting way.  So when Sheriff Jones, who is at the center of the case, says to Glenn Beck, “The sheriffs work for the people, and if the people don’t like the job they do, they can vote them out.”  That clearly isn’t the message in the Darbi Boddy case.  The unsaid statement from politicians like Jones is that we control the law, and we can come up with anything to destroy you, including taking away your CCW over a phony political charge meant to keep an elected officeholder off her duties for 90 days so they can appoint some weak loser they can control for contract negotiations.  Essentially, the local version of Joe Biden, to join the others they have allowed on the school board.  Wherever there is a lot of money, we should expect this kind of corruption.  But what is new is that we learned the lawyers are actually the activists behind election fraud, which is what all this is: the removal of a public pick for office to manage the affairs of the community. 

Sheriff Jones had a pretty good meltdown at a nomination interview with the Central Committee types at the end of 2023, where he did not get an endorsement.  His response was anger in stating that he didn’t need a party endorsement, and his response for his upcoming re-election was to go it alone.  So he has picked this immigration issue, which we all agree on, and booked himself on several big national shows to bring celebrity representation into Butler County, which we also like.  I like seeing my sheriff on the Glenn Beck Show and other places discussing important counter-terrorism topics.  But we also expect to walk the walk and not just talk about it.  Jones was in trouble with the Central Committee people because of how he handled the Darbi Boddy situation and Lakota school politics in general, especially the behavior of the previous superintendent.  Then there is the Roger Reynolds case; Jones has been caught many times trying to destroy his political rivals over the last several years, so there wasn’t an option to vote him out of office.  He destroys anybody who might try.  After I learned from several people who knew what happened between Jones and the Central Committee, I thought we probably should have put up someone to run against him.  But people liked him enough to give him the benefit of the doubt, so in that way, Jones sabotaged any rivals before they could be put forth. 

So, the guy we heard on the Glenn Beck Program was not the same person we are dealing with in our community.  I wish it were. I like that Sheriff Jones who can do media and represent us nicely to the rest of the world, and I’ve told him that directly on more than one occasion.  But this activist who uses the power of office to abuse that power and take down political rivals, such as what is happening against Darbi Boddy, is what makes the world a much worse place.  In Darbi’s case, the sheriff who pulled her CCW is a sheriff by the name of David Duchak from Miami County.  But all these sheriffs know each other, especially on this issue. Sheriff Jones has allowed it to happen and done all he could to blow on the embers of discontent, only not directly to maintain plausible deniability.  My statement on who cares about a Concealed Carry Permit, we are a Constitutional Carry state for just this very purpose.  We can’t ultimately trust the government not to abuse its power, so gun rights are a check on that power, and the police don’t get to use the machine of politics to disarm the public.  I view a CCW as a good practice and will continue to maintain one.  But in Ohio, it’s not necessary.  This is also the problem with red flag laws.  When it can abuse its power, as it is against Darbi Boddy, to remove her from an elected office they don’t want her in, the government can use the law to destroy people, including disarming them under some bogus suspicion generated by that same government.  Who believes a big man like Isaac Adi is terrified of a 110-pound Darbi Boddy dripping wet?  (Which is why most women don’t like her) Yet because Isaac made an accusation, the powers of government have been allowed to ruin the life of Darbi Boddy in very destructive ways, particularly on gun rights. 

Meanwhile, the terrorists are a real threat, and we do need to do what Sheriff Jones is saying, at least to the media.  Private people are the fine line between success and failure, which we just recently saw when young thugs at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl party opened fire into the crowd of a million or so and were stopped by private citizens bold enough to put an end to the senseless violence.  The police were then called to come in and clean up the mess.  And now that the Biden administration has allowed many terrorist cells into our nation through his open border policy, we have a lot of similar threats that are undoubtedly going to continue.  And our best hope of minimizing casualties from this threat is to have private people helping law enforcement manage the danger.  And Darbi Boddy is one of those people with whom Sheriff Jones should be aligned, not antagonizing over political power.  You can’t talk out of both sides of your mouth.  You either want to stop terrorist threats with community involvement, or you just want to go on Glenn Beck and other shows to talk a good game to get re-elected so that you can just abuse the power of elected office to bring meaning to a life otherwise lacking.  But you can’t have it both ways, which is why the Central Committee was hesitant to endorse him in the first place.  Sheriff Jones’ performance had come into question, and people have been thinking about firing him.  Yet it’s not nearly as simple as he tried to make it sound to Glenn Beck.  But we don’t have anybody to rival him because he has used government power to push away rivals and maintain himself as the only choice.  But if anything, that lack of community unification has made us much more vulnerable to terrorism than anything else, and Sheriff Jones has undoubtedly played his part in that discontent.
