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

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

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

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

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

Dope-smoking, slack-jawed losers are Running the McDonald’s in Hamilton, Ohio: A workforce that has never recoverd from Covid safety protocals

Another benefit from my grand jury service over the summer of 2024, which became a running joke among the other jurors, was what I did each day when we took a lunch break.  I don’t usually spend that much time in court, so my daily routine was tremendously interrupted for weeks at a time and during lunch, we seldom ever had time to eat a packed lunch, so I got into the habit of going to the McDonald’s across the street from the courthouse in downtown Hamilton to get a large Coke and a large Fry for a snack.  It was easy for me to get that kind of food and quickly take it back up to my desk to eat while we listened to testimony and examined evidence.  It’s not the most healthy thing to do in the world, but it was a way for me to bring a little fun to my life when there was so much negativity.  And the other jurors got a kick out of it, even when some of the afternoon cases were horrendous murders, and we had to look at crime photos of the carnage and hear from people in testimony who had gone through likely the worst thing in their life.  I enjoyed my French Fries and a Coke each day.  But what I didn’t enjoy was getting the food.  I picked that dietary expression because I didn’t want a complicated order that involved overeating food; I wanted it easy and convenient because sometimes we had a half hour for lunch, an hour, but sometimes it was as short as 15 minutes, it depended on whatever was going on that day.  But I didn’t want to wait long for the food, so I made it easy.  The food I got couldn’t get my fingers all messy because I often ate it while writing things down and talking to others. 

So, speed was not fully displayed at the McDonald’s in downtown Hamilton.  Out of the weeks that I was on the grand jury, I went to that particular McDonald’s well more than twenty times, and there wasn’t a single day where they were prepared for a lunch rush as the primary food option across the street from the Butler County Courthouse.  Not only are all the employees who work at the courthouse, which includes police officers and security, tempted to get lunch at McDonald’s, but so are all the residents who have to interact with the court.  So it’s a jam-packed store that sometimes has to push out a lot of food.  Now I know something about fast food restaurants; for many years, like the first two decades of my adult life, I worked full-time second jobs to make extra money my family needed.  Some jobs were at McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Frisch’s.  I know what lunch and dinner rushes look like and how they must be staffed behind the scenes, away from the customer experience.  One of my offerings at these places was that I always handled pressure well and quickly.  I was often able to control two or three-line positions all by myself, which was an incredible benefit to them, and to say the least, I learned a lot.  One of these places was Wendy’s, known as “The Beach” location; it’s now a Mexican restaurant.  It was often understaffed because of the area.  There were many places for people to work, so this restaurant location was always in competition to acquire good employees.  The critical store was at the Fields Ertle location just south along I-71, which took up most of the prime labor, leaving The Beach to be perpetually understaffed but at times, one of the busiest stores in all of Cincinnati. 

To make matters even worse during these years, I was going through horrendous personal circumstances, including individual lawsuits against me, political problems that involved my stance against drug dealers that got me into a lot of trouble in my community as we lived in Mason, and some cops were making money running cover for drug dealing and I had taken a stance against that.  And my wife and I only had one car for several years because of all these problems.  So, I rode a bicycle everywhere so my wife could have a vehicle for our kids to get back and forth to school because we wouldn’t let them ride the bus with a bunch of loser kids with severe behavioral problems.  So I don’t want to hear about anybody’s problems.  I’ve been there and managed through them just fine and experienced the worst that can come to a human being.  However, the store by The Beach Water Park, closest to Kings Island, was busy during the summer months and required fast employees.  We had many call-offs, so I would typically cover the entire food line for the dining room and the drive-thru all by myself.  Nobody was faster than me in Cincinnati.  So, with that eye, I was very critical of McDonald’s in Hamilton, Ohio, which had a staff that never seemed too inclined to make sure the customers were serviced quickly and efficiently, or at times, even at all.  They gave off a pretentious feeling that we were lucky they were at work.  And it displayed several problems that I see in other places as well.  The service world has never recovered from the dumb protocols of Covid, and three years later, a fast food store like McDonald’s still had trouble recruiting employees to staff all their needed positions, and when they were short on labor, they would close their dining room and just put their efforts onto the drive-thru.  Something that no restaurant would have dared do leading up to COVID-19.  But after, it was a common practice. 

This labor problem holds in almost every field; many employees in large companies still work from home, or so they are trying.  Very progressive companies who are controlled by Democrats at BlackRock and other financial monstrosities have greatly empowered the slack-jawed losers of the world who are lazy and unambitious and have put them in charge of labor, and the effects are horrendous.  I usually don’t interact with fast food restaurants these days, as my wife usually gets us food from those places, but I’m too busy to get it myself.  So only because I was at court all those days did I see how this particular McDonald’s operated compared to what I have experienced in the past few decades through my efforts.  They had terrible management there, and the employees had a presentation of self-importance from the staff feeling lucky to have employees.  If I were ordering anything more complicated than French Fries and a Coke, the wheels of that place would entirely fall apart.  What had changed was the fast food approach to work, not the demand, and that happened because of the introduction of poor workplace conduct with the COVID protocols.   Like most industries, the pin-headed lazy losers of the world had made inefficiency normalized through a rules-based society, and the impact was a much less “capitalist” world.  It’s precisely what is happening with Elon Musk and the FAA.  The same types of people sink production in every industry, from space flight to getting fries during grand jury testimony.  And it’s a problem that has to be fixed for good with the prosecution of those who brought us COVID-19 and told us to socially distance, wear a mask, and work from home.  Those policies intentionally destroyed our economic viability, and people still need to pay for them three years later.   Because the Hamilton McDonald’s in Butler County, Ohio, has never recovered.  And the slow food by a bunch of dope-smoking, slack-jawed losers who work there is a crime against humanity and a treasonous attack against the sovereignty of the United States.  And can’t be endured.

David Campbell’s Child Pornography Case at Butler Tech: The real danger lurking behind the teaching profession

I couldn’t talk about it at the time in August when David Campbell was indicted on 23 counts of child pornography.  I know him a bit; he runs the Butler Tech robotics division as the director.  I want to think that Butler Tech does good things for kids who need opportunities, so the story of yet another teacher who has sexual problems is just piling on at this point.  I’d be happy to hear that there is any teacher who is happily functioning productively these days because radicalism has taken over the profession in such devastating ways.  And this news only confirms its tragedy.  But more than anything, I was serving on a grand jury in the next county that involved many of the same kinds of cases and investigations. I would contaminate the cases I was hearing testimony to by providing comments.  And it was during this grand jury session, I heard about Campbell, which bothered me quite a lot.  Because I had known this guy, I shook his hand and worked with him on several occasions.  Twenty-three counts is a lot, and because I was a foreman on that grand jury, I had the context as to just what those charges were and how prosecutors presented the case.  And what kind of evidence has to be produced to get such a broad indictment.  Knowing all that, the chances of David Campbell being innocent of those charges are slim.  For my cases, I had to watch much evidence of what child pornography is, what it means to possess it, and peddle it by sending it to someone else.  When that information goes to the IP address on your personal computer, there is no way it could have gotten there unless he wanted to obtain it freely. 

Until my grand jury service, I had never seen child pornography, and specifically anal sex.  I have heard people talk about it, but there was a part of me that thought the possibility of applying sexual applications to a bodily exit was impossible.  I could not see how such a thing could be considered sexual, let alone to have fully grown adults apply such a technique to children.  It’s one thing for people to say something about it; it’s another to see.  For several child pornography cases, I had to see things in testimony that I had thought were previously impossible.  These cases were essentially the same as what Dave Campbell was being indicted for, so it wasn’t good.  And what was worse was a look into that world where so much of this child pornography was out there.  It wasn’t unique and hard to find.  It was abundant and detrimental.  The amount of people that were involved in this child pornography network was very high. And the cause of it was vast and highly destructive.  But any claim that a person in his position could make that the pornography accidently ended up on his computer and that he was innocent of the charges was an almost next-to-nothing chance.  I have gone my entire life up to this point not seeing anything close to resembling child pornography, so it’s certainly easy to avoid until I served on a grand jury where I had to see evidence in cases like the one charging Dave Campbell.  So that made me even more angry about it, and I wasn’t going to comment until my jury service was over, which it is now.  And to say I’m disappointed again by the Butler Tech teachers would be a vast understatement.

It is impossible to mentor young people if anybody allows their mind to consume child pornography in any state.  I can’t understand any sexual practice that does not involve a perfect recreation area applied to a female application process in the way that makes a baby.  Sex is designed to be a bottomless pit of perversion to provide the kind of stimuli it takes to procreate.  And that, by design, should only happen a few times in a person’s life, enough to produce a few kids.  Sexual lifestyles cannot be a hobby like building model airplanes.  If you are always looking for perversions to stay interested in it, you are going to go insane.  It takes the intellect of a human being not to act out of primal cravings like some dog humping the leg of a chair whenever they get excited.  Humans are supposed to rise above that intellect to higher places.  And child pornography has no place in a healthy society, especially among teachers who are teaching young people.  Once that line has been crossed, there is no going back.  No reform for David Campbell will allow him to teach children again.  But the worst part of this case is that he’s not alone.  Under the current woke rules of entry, the teaching profession is filled with these broken types of people.  And my grand jury experience showed me just how vast this network is.  It would be sad if it were only one child.  And I would consider experiencing sex with that one child a capital offense with at least life in jail.  But I saw a video with hundreds and hundreds of different kids, which is a peek into a very dark world that, at the very minimum, has to be defunded and disabled.  There is no redeeming value for people convicted of child pornography. 

The more people I know in the world, the more disappointed I am with their conduct.  Dave Campbell, when you meet him, gives off no trace that he would be so interested in child pornography.  He acted like a perfectly average person.  So, knowing all this only leads to my suspicion of how many teaching professionals are doing this.  And based on my personal experience, not just with this case but over the years, it is much higher than 1% of the population.  This is a dire situation considering just nearby Lakota schools, which are also in Butler County.  It’s why parents were so upset at the behavior of the Lakota superintendent when he indicated any sexual attractiveness to children in a police report taken under questioning.  People know how dangerous this child pornography issue is and how many kids are being pulled into it by trusted adults, only to be ruined forever in such devastating ways. By the time some of these teachers talk and share stories in the teacher’s lounge, we are seeing a vast network of well-paid people with way too much recreational time on their hands to feed these obsessive traits of unhealthy sex practices.  It’s bad enough when it’s adults who explore all these permissive lifestyles of pornographic sex practices.  Because those lifestyles don’t generate excitement any longer, turning to the perversion of child pornography is a common step, not a unique one.  It breeds participants in the teaching profession because they have access to so many children, and their high rate of pay and short working hours give them too much time to feed a destructive personality disorder that is too easily concealed by public facades of the teaching profession.  I think there are a lot of Dave Campbells out there; they just haven’t been caught yet because it takes so much time to collect the evidence, and the prosecutors can’t get them all, especially the borderline cases, which is even worse in the context of Dave Campbell from Butler Tech.

The Cause of Many Murders: Why President Trump’s death penality for drug dealers is a good idea

Like my recent article on deadbeat parents, my recent experience on a grand jury was very informative for me.  I had wondered about many things regarding our legal system, such as why prosecutors did what they did and when.  Added to that, I have a pretty unusual life where I have had a chance to know people who live and work in law enforcement to some degree or another from lots of famous personalities, from attorney generals to our local representatives, and to know them beyond handshakes at fundraisers and pictures.  I have heard their problems personally and understand their unique issues specifically, and it’s highly likely that only some, if anybody, to serve on a grand jury have that perspective.  So, spending several weeks of the summer of 2024 as the foreman of a grand jury was a great experience relative to my previous knowledge, and it gave me a good taste of the big picture of how and why things are the way they are.  And that was certainly the case with several murders that needed indictments for which I heard much testimony.  Some of these cases were big ones that were all over the news, so I’ll stay out of the specifics but talk about the broad strokes because there is a pattern to that behavior as well.  Why anybody would want to kill anybody else is a mystery to me.  Most normal people would be inclined to live and let live.  If people want to make mistakes, it’s their choice until they involve others.  And once another person decides to impede on the freedoms of another person, well, that’s when things start getting into the realm of self-defense.  We employ a legal system and lots of law enforcement to clean up those who fall off the rails and lean toward a life of crime, but sometimes, these problems spill over into our daily quest for life, liberty, and happiness, and we sometimes have to decide between the life of a criminal and our own. 

This was a question I have always had about those who commit murder, especially very brutal ones where bodies are cut up and tossed away like garbage.  But hearing from people who have been there and played a part in such crimes, I had to know what the root cause analysis was under those occasions.  It comes down to decision-making ability and how our society teaches people to conduct themselves correctly in a mass society.  For instance, lately, I have been talking about the need for biblical instruction and how our society has deteriorated dramatically since we rejected such foundations.  Without the Ten Commandments or exposure to them, people functioning with others in the world lose their boundaries quickly.  And when we have a society that consumes drugs in the amounts that we do, which I have said was always a military-grade attack against our culture, there is nothing beneficial or recreational about drug use, even to my eyes, alcohol, bad things are going to happen.  And that was certainly the case with the murder cases I heard during my grand jury session.  Take away drugs and alcohol and have people following biblical teachings, and suddenly, most of the violence in our society goes away quickly.  But the people who do fall to crime have lost their way to such morality, and their decision-making ability has been dramatically eroded.  And when they get angry at something, they don’t think anything less of killing someone than they would of throwing away garbage in the trash. 

Take away the use of drugs in our society, and lots of things improve.  When people are that far gone that they reside in these drug houses like communist sanctuaries and the switch that regulates their behavior is no longer operating, then murders do happen, and they occur in grotesque ways that would sicken most people who still do have their switch working in their minds.  Drug and alcohol abuse do make that switch not work, and people who fail to regulate themselves to commit murders lose their sense of personal regulation and, with it, their ability to function in society—knowing that all potential drug abusers are subject to losing it at any minute.  Most drug abusers are the creations of progressive politics that have sought to replace tradition with a progressive change state.  And often, people become radicalized into weapons of war for the political causes of globalism.  The ground troops for such a movement become those who occupy these drug houses and can no longer maintain their ability to live in a civil society.  We see it in this trend of transexual kids raised by progressive influences to become mass shooters.  We have watched people over the years step away from church lifestyles and into a life of crime.  The highway shooter in Kentucky who was just discovered decomposed with a self-inflicted gunshot is another excellent example of how poor management in a progressive society leaves too many people feeling empty and violent.  And when you add drugs to these sentiments, people fall off the rocker and can ultimately become violent.  And based on my experience, I think President Trump is onto the solution for drug dealers, even petty dealers.  The death penalty is the best way to go for anybody who purposely sells poison to people.  Most people likely won’t end up becoming murderers, but enough to mandate a significant policy change, and without getting too specific on the names, the amount of drug-related violence that is going on in Middletown, Ohio, is out of control.

The police in Middletown are doing what they can to stop what they are allowed to.  But after you study several dozen cases of excessive violence and murder, it’s pretty clear that the problem originates in policy and the desire by outside influences to poison the people in that community, just as the Haitian crisis in Springfield is doing presently.  The guilt of complicity ultimately goes to the door of UN regulators and policymakers from the World Economic Forum and the political activism of BlackRock.  They steer mass society in a direction, and the results of that direction end up as gang violence and drug murders in places like Middletown, Ohio, where the economy was husked out and sent to China, leaving behind a society of people depressed and seeking escape in drugs.  And when drugs replace steel and farming as the drivers of an economy, only bad things can happen.  And of those bad things, murders happen too often.  And excessively violent murders at that.  With my background and relationships in law, order, religion, and philosophy, it was perfect to listen to hours of testimony from people who directly participated in murders and to hear their side of the story from the perspective of being killers.  The root cause points back to drugs and the desire to conduct a life of crime because they see no other way in life but such a lifestyle.  They’ve lost touch with reality and can no longer live by the rules of a healthy society.  And for them, jail is a refuge, not a punishment.  At least they know where they will sleep that night, and food will come regularly. So, they are motivated to get jailed for as long as possible.  Even if that means they have to involve themselves in a brutal killing to get a maximum sentence.  At least when they get caught, the pain of living a life under their decision-making ability is taken away from them, and they are pretty happy about it.  While everyone has to be accountable for their actions, there are hidden menaces behind policy-making that are the real villains.  And where we must focus in the months and years to come.

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.
