Stopping Terrorism in Butler County, Ohio: The FBI is warning about the danger, and it will be up to us to prevent it

Regarding Sheriff Jones, my local sheriff in Butler County, Ohio, I prefer to have a good relationship.  We do not always see eye to eye on things.  But, in 2024, he is a supporter of President Trump, and so long as he is on the good side of Nancy Nix and a few other people who share a common interest, we are in a decent place.  I happen to love Nancy Nix, so as a political foundation, everything starts from there.  If he’s good with her, we can find common ground to work with.  These are not the times to focus on political differences but on what we have in common and as I would expect my sheriff to do, Jones, who is up for re-election, went to Washington D.C. to meet with the head of the FBI, Christopher Wray to get a briefing on the obvious, the very real possibility that terrorism will be unleashed in 2024 as yet another form of election interference from the radical left that put Obama and this goofball Biden in the White House, to bring so much misery and destruction that we have been witnessing.  I’m not a fan of Wray, the FBI, or the other intelligence agencies.  I’m not particularly trusting of any law enforcement, as the temptation to abuse their power is a thin line that often fails.  But law enforcement, like our government in general, is something you must have to maintain a civil society.  You want them to have the power to do their jobs but never enough power to become an authoritarian regime where their power goes to their heads, which is certainly the case with the FBI.  They are out of control, untrustworthy, and dangerous.  But when they are worried about domestic terrorism, we should all listen.  And they are worried.

The problem, of course, is the apparent border invasion that the Democrats in America have unleashed with the help of the George Soros Open Border Society to expand globalism as a military endeavor, to destroy national concepts all over the world, and to replace them with corporate communism.  With more than 10 million illegal migrants flooding the American southern border, there is always going to be a percentage of them who are prone to terrorist activity, and they are now lost by the many thousands within America as sleeper cells ready to do their malice.  So Chris Wray is warning sheriffs all over the country to be on the lookout and to do what they can to stop terrorism from these border insurgents wherever possible.  Of course, the most significant danger to this well-intentioned alliance is that the FBI’s suggestion is to violate more constitutional rights for the safety of all and to expand the government and resources that money can buy through taxes to deal with the incursion.  That’s the old Cloward and Piven strategy as provoked by the left, overwhelm our system with dangerous malcontents and hope they erode away our concept of safety and run for the skirts of mother government for protection.  Well, as much of a danger as that may be, that is not what Sheriff Jones is proposing.  Jones is generally good when it comes to protecting Constitutional concepts, he was good during Covid.  We may disagree on other things along the lines of how much power police should have and the abuses that come with police work when power is abused, and mistreatment in society is unleashed.  But in this terrorism case, he has a similar view to the one he has with firearm carry policies.  He wants to help people help themselves so we can help them and law enforcement keep our society safe.  If you see something, say something, and know what to recognize and when. 

To that point, Jones is getting behind terrorist recognition classes to help educate communities on recognizing potential terrorist activity, which I think is a good idea.  I believe that there is a very probable chance that we will see not just one terrorist activity in America, perhaps more significant than 9/11 during 2024, but several.  And we cannot lose our minds as a country when we experience them.  We have to keep ourselves together and put Trump back in office so we can get this country back under control.  The immigration policy of the left has been a military attack, and that’s how we must see it.  The purposeful displacement of multicultural insurgents hidden within the ranks of the hungry and innocent is a malicious attack meant to destroy our society.  And it will be a painful process to clean up.  But you can bet that these same characters will do anything to stop Trump, including unleashing terrorist cells to invoke crises of such a magnitude that elections will be disrupted, and the government can unleash emergency orders to change how we do things Constitutionally.  We will not have the luxury to spend 20 years dealing with a terrorist attack like 9/11 or the Oklahoma City Bombing.  We will get about 5 minutes.  Without question, there are plans to implement several of these horrendous acts, and the FBI is telling us they don’t have control.  The CIA has been caught all too often tampering with other people’s governments, including our own.  They were involved in the document of 51 agents who stated that the Biden laptop was Russian propaganda, so they are looking for a way to erase their sins in all this as well.  Nothing unifies the country like pain and death, so beware.  There are a lot of sins that bad people are perfectly willing to cover up by keeping Trump out of the White House and the world on lockdown, even worse than we saw in 2020. 

We must stop terrorism person to person

This crisis of magnitude demands our best as a culture and community.  And I would highly encourage as many people as possible to take the classes Sheriff Jones is making available.  Work with law enforcement as much as possible to help them be better.  I think it’s unrealistic to prevent terrorist activity from happening.  I believe the best we can hope for is to minimize the damage from terrorist intentions, much like the rules we have with concealed carry.  Just because you carry a gun, that doesn’t mean you can stop aggressive shooters who seek to kill first.  But we can minimize the casualties by halting the bloodshed when we see it—the same with terrorism.  The object is to terrorize people, so the best way to prepare for that is not to let them terrorize our society.  Detect it, report it, and stop it where you can ahead of time.  But when it does happen, don’t become neutralized by fear.  Be ready to engage it appropriately and root out the villains by supporting law enforcement so they can do what they are designed to do.  We’ll have time to have political debates later.  But we need to survive as a culture first, and some hostile sleeper cells have crossed over into America with crime as their goal in life, who want to destroy everything it means to be an American.  So it is our task to pull together to stop them and to put that aggression in the other direction, and make them, the antagonizers, the terrorists, and the cutthroat criminal syndicates, flee for their lives.  I am often critical of too much police, and I have been very critical of the upcoming police levy in Liberty Township.  I see too many cops sitting around looking for things to do.  But as I say too, you need a certain amount of law enforcement to have a civil society and the point of politics is to figure out that sweet spot, how much is just right.  But putting up with crime is not an option. I was on my way to Tractor Supply a few days ago and I saw a car pulled over in front of the Elk Run Golf Course with about four police vehicles and five ratty-looking scum bags pulled out of a car with all its doors open and drug dogs sniffing out corruption from drug-induced lunatics.  And I was thrilled to see the police doing a good job.  I wanted to get out of the car and give them all high fives because that’s how you keep evil characters from harming our communities.  Don’t put up with bad behavior.  When you see it, call it out and give it back to them before they can give it to you.  And if we do that a lot more in 2024, we might get through it with minimum casualties. Hopefully, everyone will get through it.  But at the very least, diligence will save lives, and we should work together to do that.

Vote No on the Liberty Township Police Levy on March 19th, 2024: There is nothing more dangerous than bored cops with a lot of power

No, I’m not voting for more money to go to the police in the Liberty Township Police levy that everyone is voting for on March 19th. If President Trump were talking to me, I’m sure he would say, “back the blue.” And most people, especially where I live, will support the police no matter what they ask for, really beyond rationality. But I’m not one who falls for the whole “they run into danger when we run out” diatribe. If the police want my help, anytime, I’d be happy to do anything dangerous that they are asked to do. I could tell them right now where all the drug dealers are. I know where most of the scum bags live. And where a lot of the crime is of a general nature, and I would love to be deputized to bust all those losers, if that was the actual game everyone was into. I’m not a “no cop” guy by any means. We need them in society, but to what level? I’ve lived in Liberty Township, Ohio, longer than most people have been alive, and we’ve managed quite well when we had next to no police presence at all. What makes a society safe is good people, not more unionized cops. So when the police ask for a 3.3. mill levy I think they are only worth the .3 to me. If you want a couple of cops to fill out paperwork when there is an accident or something, then fine. But do we need 40 cops full-time and a bunch of bureaucratic leadership? I don’t think so, especially after my experiences with them, which I talked about on Christmas morning of 2023 when it looked like I was about to get swatted and had to run them off from gathering in front of my house. They said they were there just killing time and dispersed. But I’ve seen a lot of that behavior out of the police in my area, and I think from my experience that we’d be better off without them. I’d rather have volunteer law enforcement, which I could get excited about. I don’t want another expansion of a government union because they are too expensive and often too lazy.

Everywhere I go, at all hours of the day, I see these police officers sitting around looking for something to do, just as they did in front of my house on Christmas morning. A lot of people are more sympathetic to police sitting in front of their houses and would say, “Aren’t you happy to have the police keeping you safe while everyone is all nice and cozy in their houses?” I say no. Cops are there for the paperwork. But I could see why people who don’t know how to shoot guns or are timid personalities would want to hire out their safety to a bunch of people who should be spending their time on a diet plan. Most of these guys have had a Twinkie too many and don’t represent the best the human race offers. I’m not very proud of how many of them look or act. I see too many employees sitting around with very little to do, and to me, that makes for very dangerous people. There are few things more dangerous in life than a bored cop with nothing better to do than to try to make themselves look useful. Cops can get into all kinds of mischief and become detrimental to the public trust. And that is not a price worth paying for, because it often causes more trouble than they are worth in social misery.

As corrupt as it gets

But it was the Liberty Township cops from the Sheriff’s department that really dropped the ball on the administrator misconduct at Lakota schools where they rationalized away a truly dangerous situation when it came to administrators from another government union, who had stated fascination with sexual encounters with children. And when I tried to help them out, they referred to me in a police report as the “bald guy with a bullwhip,” which everyone knows about, but it was very disrespectful. They should have been busting all the administrators who showed an inclination toward child pedophilia, especially those working as employees at the school, but they brushed it off as the fantasy of adults and that the activity wasn’t illegal. They have time to sit on the side of the road and harass people for speeding and traffic violations, but they do not have the time to investigate reported and possible crimes against pedophilia properly. No wonder Mike Gmoser, the prosecutor in Butler County, had a family member involved in one of the most significant child pornographic cases that saw him get life in prison—or at least until the story cools down and he can pull some strings to get him out early. These crimes happen right in front of all these cops’ faces, and most of the time, they can be found on the side of the road playing on their phones, not doing real police work or detective work. They do all too often as they did at Lakota schools; they clean up unionized messes that might get out to the public and put caps on the story. They aren’t protecting kids. My experiences with some of these cops as they interacted with Lakota schools were embarrassing at best and not worth the money they wanted for this March 19th Levy in Liberty Township, Ohio.

The police are there to pick on people to protect political power, but when it comes to real crime, they are too busy playing on their phones.

Some police were there to enforce a corrupt law that Judge Lyons got involved in at Lakota by issuing a citation to Darbi Boddy, the famous school board member, to play their part in trying to remove her from the school board.  As Darbi reported to her elected duty to attend a meeting recently, some police were there to escort her off the property and issue her a citation that she is still dealing with.  She has another hearing on January 29th 2024, and is on her second lawyer on this grotesque abuse of power.  They threatened her with jail, which is still a possibility, and have worked to keep her away from Lakota schools to perform what she was elected to do over a phony charge that traces back to the legal firm Frost Brown and Todd and an upcoming teacher union contract negotiation.  They are tough guys to pick on a local mom while her husband serves overseas and she’s alone most of the time to defend herself.  Why would we want to pay for more people like these guys who obviously serve whatever political power has power?  If they were serving law and order, they might make a case.  But I have seen too much corruption out of this group to pay them 3 million dollars’ worth of a taxpayer’s budget.  Like my incident on Christmas morning, why would I want to fund agents of antagonization, people who would fight on behalf of my political enemies?  Because that’s what they have been doing.  Where the danger has genuinely been, they have been playing in their cars on their phones all night doing nothing.  But when there is a threat to the political order, suddenly, they are removing people like Darbi Boddy from school boards and prosecuting the innocent with their grotesque abuses of power.  No, I will be voting no on that ridiculously expensive levy.  That’s too many cops that we are paying too much to sit around and get themselves into trouble.  And I would suggest a community volunteer force instead.  It would be far more effective.

Lakota Trying to Run Out the Clock on Darbi Boddy: The revelation of wealth confiscation and business terrorism behind a vile plot of judicial activism

This is an important story because it’s essentially the same playbook happening nationally regarding politics and legal gymnastics.  Now that we’re in a new year, the Darbi Boddy case at Lakota schools is an interesting discussion because it involves local issues that are precisely the same as those being applied to President Trump, revealing a game plan that wasn’t so obvious.  That information is valuable for understanding all the various characters and what they are up to, which we would never have learned anything about if not for the election of Darbi Boddy.  But to catch everyone up, the media has gone cold on the story since the glitter has worn off over the last several weeks.  All through December of 2023, the thoughts were that Darbi Boddy, the Lakota school board member, was going to be thrown in jail for violating a court order to stay away from another Lakota school board member, Isaac Adi, who ran with her in a recent election with a GOP endorsement.  A lot has occurred since then to show lots of political tides and community sentiment that essentially had those two in conflict, resulting in a court action that required Darbi to stay 500 feet away from Isaac at all times, including school board meetings.  This left everyone scratching their heads as to what the motive was, and to fulfill her role as a school board member, Darbi has been fighting for her right to attend the meetings as she was elected to do, which has now caused a violation of this court order, which has attached to it jail time and all kinds of penalties.  Then, after an arraignment on December 18th, the plot became much more straightforward as to what everyone was after, which is where it stands going into January of 2024, where her next court date isn’t until the 29th.  The goal has been to keep Darbi out of school board meetings so that they can then enact a 90 day penalty applied to school board members who vacate their post and can then be removed from the board.  This court case has been a plan to do what they couldn’t do any other way, to try and remove Darbi from the school board by running out the 90-day clock with stalled court dates and judicial activism. 

This is the same method that the Secretary of State has been using in Maine, Sheena Bellows, with her case to attempt to keep Trump off the primary ballot there using the 14th amendment.  We’re seeing in 2024 a plan we long suspected, but now under pressure is being revealed in truly audacious ways, especially in the Lakota case.  The use that government unions have baked into the system to appoint judicial activism manipulations as a means to protect their confiscation of wealth from taxpayers.  After all, if you get to the actual reason that there is so much hatred of Trump, it all points back to a radicalism of government unions, which touch just about everything that flows from tax money, everything from the FBI to teacher unions.  They don’t want a Trump negotiating anything regarding their wages and benefits, and their goal is to put the dumbest people possible into positions to rubber-stamp their renegotiated contracts.  Trump has shown that he is perfectly willing to work with unions, and many union members have crossed over from Democrats to support Republican positions because the President has been very reasonable in working with them.  But the labor union leaders attached to government unions want only one thing: weak community representation that is easy to control so that the best labor contracts are possible, which benefits them.  They don’t like Trump because they don’t want to negotiate, so we see this level of radicalism applied to him using legal gymnastics to protect their stranglehold over taxpayer wealth confiscation.  And the media plays along because most are involved in organized labor in some form or other.  We can talk about the Deep State and the conspiracies of the World Economic Forum.  But once the rubber hits the road, it all comes down to controlling the people who decide how government money is spent.  And they don’t want a Trump or a Darbi Boddy representing taxpayers standing in the way. 

I knew it would be a tough job when Darbi was elected.  She was tough and persistent, but I wasn’t sure how it would go because we had never seen anything like it at Lakota.  Lynda O’Conner asked me for help, so I went to help her get two more votes on the school board to represent a conservative point of view, and Darbi was one of them.  With three votes, I thought seeing what would happen next would be interesting.  And what we learned was that the only conservative was Darbi, who represented a kind of Tea Party approach to school board management.  The hatred applied to her was unreasonable and about much more than personal ideological differences.  So, the government school forces on all political sides showed their cards and went after Darbi with such an unreasonable hatred that has been beneficial in pointing out what I have been saying about the public schools for several decades.  And we have learned a lot of valuable lessons.  In the Lakota case, of course, there is a lot more to the legal case between Isaac and Darbi, where third-party members have been blowing on the actions against Darbi, hoping to start a fire that would burn her role on the school board down, and one of the surprising directions has come from the legal firm of Frost Brown and Todd ahead of the upcoming teacher union contract negotiations.  Once you trace the origins of the legal case against Darbi, it runs right into their door because they work on behalf of the school board to negotiate with the teacher’s union.  It has been revealed that they have been behind the strategy to play this legal game in attempting to destroy Darbi’s life just because she is in the way of those 2024 labor negotiations.  Darbi asks lots of questions that many of them do not want on any public record.  This is all based on what multiple people who know the situation have told me and is well more than rumor.  Not the opinions of slack-jawed losers, but thoughtful people well-positioned who are deeply concerned by what they have been seeing. 

For those concerned, Darbi Boddy has a new lawyer and is fighting these charges in a way that should clear her completely.  The charges against her are made-up nonsense on the back of a wet napkin in a Waffle House at 2 AM and don’t carry much weight, which is why they have been stalling with all these hearings.  Their primary goal is to hope to kick Darbi off the school board using that 90-day clause.  Then they can appoint some liberal to replace her position.  Attempts at being reasonable by having Darbi attend school board meetings and still satisfying the distance requirements with Isaac have been avoided because Lakota does not want to work to find a solution to accommodate Darbi Boddy as a school board member.  They want to get rid of her.  The revelation there is that the teachers’ union wants to assert the level of control they have over the entire situation.  This is how they ultimately get inflated contracts with astronomical benefits; they remove people in management who might resist their demands and put in place a bunch of powder puffs who are happy to give out awards to kids and do all the cosmetic stuff that makes community pride seem alive and well, while in the background this sinister progressivism of wealth confiscation turns the whole ordeal into significant business terrorism.  With Darbi’s continued legal fights, she intends to return to school board meetings and finish her term over the next two years.  But regardless of all that, the revelation of these legal games has been very educational.  It has taken some of these beliefs about how taxpayer money is spent out of conspiracy theory territory and placed them into political strategy on both a national scale and a local one.  It’s all the same game plan, and in knowing that, the weaknesses in their progressive positions are apparent.  And something we are far better off knowing than we were before.

Speed and Risk Make Things Better: The nightmare of the By-Pass 4 interchanges

There is a silent evil that works in the world that I had to explain to a few smart people this past week, which deserves to be heard by everyone.  One of the great examples of this evil is a road I have driven on for many decades, the By-Pass 4 interchange in Butler County, Ohio, one of the largest arteries for industrial traffic in a very productive county.  It used to be that I could drive 100 mph down that road all the time, and it was never a problem.  But these days, there are too many lights at every intersection to get up any speed before you have to slow down again, which is, of course, by design.  Over the years, to answer all the upset families who lost people to car crashes, not to mention the complaints of the insurance industry who had to make payouts on all the minor fender bender claims, the answer to this overly managed world is to lower the speed limit, put up more stop signs and traffic lights to frustrate high-speed travel in the name of safety.  But safety has a cost all its own, and productivity usually gets sacrificed.  If you can’t drive 100 mph, you will arrive at your destination much later, and among the world’s bureaucrats, there is almost a delightful glee when they tell you that something is going to take time because “it’s better safe than sorry.”  But to my eyes, the question must always be asked, “Is it?”  I would argue, and do all the time, that things were much better when we could drive 100 mph down By-Pass 4.  Sure, there were occasional crashes and deaths as a result.  But drivers were noticeably better; they had to be. Whenever you dumb down a human population with over-processing, you tend to inspire them to think less, and high-speed driving makes people think more, and they are better people as a result.

The solution to the By-Pass 4 complaints by the central planners who tend to get involved in these political problems of traffic management was to slow everyone down to where it’s faster to ride a bicycle and to take as much risk out of the process to make it so that accidents rarely happened.  This might be fine if the goal is to remove automobile accidents in your culture.  But if productivity is the goal, and speed is associated with that objective, then the By-Pass 4 exchanges along its path are devastating, which I point out in my video.  Without question, a World Economic Forum or United Nations statistician could show that such an arrangement will save lives and property value by eliminating crashes, but ultimately, the safest thing anybody could do if they didn’t want to have a collision is never to leave their house, and that looks to be the intention behind the traffic pattern design of Butler County.  Without question, everyone had good intentions, but the result of all this activity has produced slow roads that greatly limit personal freedom and make driving a real pain in the neck.  It takes a long time to get anywhere because political problems have always been solved over time by addressing complaints of every crash with more traffic lights, speed limits, and stop signs.  In the case of By-Pass 4, presenting traffic in such a way that a driver-side door never faces oncoming traffic to eliminate crashes that statistically occurred often when traffic had to engage each other at 90-degree angles and human decisions had to be made for everyone’s preservation.  By taking that decision-making process out of human hands, we must now ask whether we are all better off.  Is a safe society better than a risky society if the result is dumber humans? 

Of course, this is about more than traffic, and you can find this same mentality in almost every industry, particularly manufacturing.  Whenever there is an employee accident or an engineering challenge, the trend of the college-trained European worshipper is to put up the stopsticks and slow down a process to make a safer world.  But is it a better world, and I would argue it’s not?  Safer does not make something better.  That may be one value, but it’s certainly not the entire value.  As I always say from my favorite sport, Fast Draw, you have to manage speed and accuracy with the amount of risk your skill level allows.  If people are forced to improve their skills rather than pandering down to their weaknesses, often the result will be much better because the process of thinking makes it so that you get a better human being in the process, rather than playing to those weaknesses so that anybody can do anything.  That is the trend in our highly regulatory environment filled with government bureaucrats.  Their answer to everything is to slow things down so they can get their slow-minded, feeble minds wrapped around the problem.  Once you accept that strategy, your entire society is filled with timid people who lose the skill to manage risk because their lives depend on it.  Instead, they only need to know how to follow the rules and follow the guy in front of them as designed by some centralized planner. 

The result is that you might have fewer accidents, and you may fix the problem of quality escapes in whatever business you might be operating.  But like the traffic patterns, the safest thing you can do is to do nothing, and all too often, that is what we get out of society.  We get things slow, but at least we live to get them.  But the process of getting it kills us.  Because we may be alive physically, but our minds are dying because we stop challenging ourselves.  Such is the case in Butler County, Ohio; due to hundreds and thousands of traffic accidents and residential complaints, there are now traffic lights at almost every intersection where people travel.  And it’s tough to get from one place to another.  Not because the roads are bad.  They are pretty good.  But because there is too much starting and stopping, you can never get a good flow from your commute.  That is because the political solution to traffic problems was to hire pin-headed European-oriented Marxists to solve a uniquely American problem. You embrace risk and manage it for personal fulfillment, resulting in productive output.  Not that safety isn’t necessary, but it doesn’t take priority over productive enterprise, whether it’s getting to your destination 4-6 minutes faster or achieving a higher sales objective in your company.  Managing risk is the way to improve output.  Slowing everything down only panders to people’s weaknesses and, as a result, makes your society much less dynamic.  Everyone might live in the end, but is that the goal of life?  If everyone is just a brain-dead slug, is that better than a society where you could drive 100 mph to rock and roll music with the window down and vastly enjoy the experience because you don’t have to stop?  I’ve seen it both ways, and I can say from experience that driving 100 mph is far better.  Speed is better most of the time.  Among the skilled, accuracy can also be achieved.  But when you pander to society down to the weaknesses of the participants, then you get a lot more of it, and the satisfaction of an enterprise diminishes incredibly, such as we see every day at the By-Pass 4 interchanges created by monsters of Marxism and their bureaucratic plots of doom.  It’s good to live a little dangerously; it makes you a better and much happier person.

Tipping the Scales Toward Equity for All: The legal strategy to destroy Darbi Boddy who stands in the way of those tipped scales

I have people tell me a lot of things. A lot of things. You should see my email inbox, and regarding notifications on my cell phone, my battery life usually only lasts for a few hours because the screen stays on so much with people sending me texts, calling me, or notifying me that I have a new email on one of my three accounts that average over 300 new emails per day each. I try to answer as much as possible, but it’s impossible. I must pick what I listen to, and out of all that information traffic, I have a lot of very well-connected people who give me a lot of valuable information every day, all days of the week. That’s how I know what is really going on behind the scenes at Lakota with Darbi Boddy and the phony prosecution of her by essentially the same kind of people who have been using the same legal gymnastics to go after Trump. For instance, Sheriff Jones has been coming up a lot lately because of the Butler County Republican Party’s desire to pull together after the defeat of Lynda O’Connor on the Lakota school board, who has her fingerprints all over this talk of sending Darbi to jail for six months and a fine of $1000 just for showing up at a school board meeting. We’ll get into that more in a moment. But the details are pretty explicit, and these people are well placed, and they aren’t slack-jawed, dope-smoking losers. But very responsible, and respected VIPs. And their comments would hold up in court with no problem. Anyway, these sources told me the story of three of them who asked Sheriff Jones directly how he could support a candidate to run against Thomas Hall, and against the nomination of the Republican Party, where he became very defensive and told them all to “bring it.” He was questioned why he thought he could be a leader in the Republican Party and behave against the endorsed candidates. He didn’t care what the Republican Party thought and was audacious to throw his weight around. And by itself, that is not a very exciting story. But it does lend value to what I’m about to say regarding a conspiracy by the Lakota school board to remove an elected representative in Darbi Boddy, which has all kinds of things wrong with it. Details matter, and I get plenty of them that add up to the kind of stories you don’t get from the local press.

The real villains behind the RINO political philosophy is behind this door

I know the law firm’s name and the person who told Lynda O’Connor how to remove Darbi Boddy from the school board by making Isaac Adi the vehicle. At this point, the name isn’t as important. However, lots of people already know about it. I’m interested in the intent. This is not a story about Darbi Boddy going to jail for violating some bogus court order controlled by Judge Lyons and all the Butler County network of hive-minded bureaucrats; this is about judicial activism by one of the area’s most respected law firms to destroy every way possible the life of an office holder elected by the public to do community business. And their deliberate tampering with that effort maliciously is where the real meat and potatoes are. I was livid when I found out that another attorney was being introduced to Darbi’s legal defense before her November 29th hearing to answer a citation given to her just for attending a school board meeting, and this guy wanted a $5000 retainer. The goal is obviously to put Darbi on her heels, destroy her economically, and consume her supporters with a rat race that the real bad guys were controlling. So I was just a little angry about it, let’s say that politely.

These law firms are very politically manipulative. Here is a screenshot of a big one in the Lakota area. Their words, their actions.

I had heard for weeks this revelation from many sources, well-placed sources who are close to all these people, how this law firm got involved and schemed with Lynda O’Connor to essentially override the voters by destroying the life of a fellow school board member.  And this is what lingers in the background with all these cases.  These law firms are very progressive and lean far left of center most of the time.  So if you are trying to manage a school district and they essentially own the minds of the school board, which is the case here, then you can elect all the school board members you want or put up elected representatives to handle our business, but it won’t matter.  Because in the background, these lawyers think they are in charge.  We see that with these multiple cases against Trump, and in Butler County, Ohio, Darbi Boddy is our local Trump, and they have pulled out all the legal stops to destroy her in all ways possible.  But why?  Well, teacher union contract negotiations are coming up next year, and the school board will want everyone to get along and not go on strike.  And guess who negotiates those contracts?  They brag about how many labor contracts they negotiate successfully, but many times, they take the position of labor against the taxpayers, and the best way to make that work is to get rid of those who oppose labor.  The taxpayers have plenty of money to give; they need to figure out how to take it from them and give it to the radical labor element.  So having a loose cannon like Darbi Boddy on the school board isn’t in their best interest, to be polite about it.  Based on what people have been telling me.

History is good to study because it explains the actions of the present

Now, I’m not at all impressed with this. I argued with several of their people during the Covid lockdowns about the correct course of action, and they turned out all to be wrong. Lawyers seldom give good advice; they usually only give answers that drag the clock out for another six minutes and line their pockets with gold they steal from you with a comprehension of Latin that they think you don’t understand. I was right then about the Supreme Court cases defeating all the lockdowns, and they were grotesquely wrong. So, as I hear this story about Darbi Boddy’s attackers, the unelected types who hide in the background all the time and destroy the Republican Party from the erosion that takes place in those types of relationships, I know we aren’t dealing with people of intellectual superiority. This scam of using Isaac as the fall guy while all these insiders pave the way for easy future labor negotiations makes perfect sense to me. It sounds like what lazy people on cruise control in life would do. And to mask it all, they have turned Darbi into the vehicle of collaboration. There’s an old Metallica song about this very kind of transference. I told Darbi personally to drop all these losers and let Lakota die on the vine. I don’t want her to be hit by friendly fire in the coming months. But she told me that she wants to help the kids and was elected to do a job, so she is dug in to do the right thing, which I admire. But for her to defend herself by this constant stream of court cases that these bad guys keep throwing at her is not the right strategy. The fight has to go where it belongs, where the real trouble is up to no good, to the real influencers controlling everything from behind a fragile curtain. We don’t need Toto to pull back the curtain to see them or what’s happening. Plenty of people know. They don’t know yet how to do something about it. But admitting to the problem is the first step, and after the conversations, I have had with people, talking to me about it has been part of that first step of admission, something they never thought they’d have to do.

For many in the world, they find safety in collectivism. It’s too scary to be an individual.
Sad but true, mass collectivists are at war with individualism in Butler County, Ohio

The Cheating Spouse: Sara Carruthers Called Us”Extremists”

I wasn’t going to talk about what I’ve been saying to all the mostly guys in the Republican party of Butler County, Ohio in the wake of Lynda O’Connor’s loss from the Lakota school board until I read the comments from Sara Carruthers in the Journal News. Obviously, she was referring to me and some of the core team around me who are considered radicals where she said she hated the “extremism in the party.” And that she said, “I think it’s sad to have other Republicans fighting against you.” Well, she’s up for re-election and my message to her is, she’s next. And all those like her. We can’t fight Democrats when we don’t have Republicans in the party. So, we must go through this process to make things honest before we can ever consider winning in politics. Otherwise, it’s all an illusion. Everyone has probably seen the video that Candice Keller took of Butler County Commissioner Cindy Carpenter campaigning for a Democrat on election day. There are a lot of RINO Republicans operating in the Butler County GOP, and they have made their voices known more ostentatiously since Trump has been out of the White House. And many of us, just aren’t going to put up with it. I’ve never given any illusion that I would. I work with people. I listen to their point of view and give people an honest shake. But politically, I’m to the hard right of the Tea Party, and that isn’t going to change. Obviously, I’m interested in politics for different reasons than other people. So my comment to people who have been asking me why I can’t support these RINOs when we learn about them is that I always say, “I love all Republicans until they show me they aren’t. Then I hate them.” There is no middle ground.

One of those cheating spouses

Further, I have been saying to lots of people an obvious metaphor that is directly relatable. Political relationships are a lot like marriage, with marriage being something everyone can relate to in some way or another. And most of the people I have been talking to have been men. I have said this to women, but the context is from a male perspective. When you catch a woman climbing out of the window to sleep with someone else on the other side of town, don’t go out and buy her a diamond ring. It would be best if you were looking for ways to get away from her, not deepening the commitment. And in regard to Lynda O’Connor, I feel she cheated on me, and my way of dealing with that isn’t to profess my love for her, or even to hold my nose and pretend like we have a happy marriage. Once it’s over, for me, it’s over. Forever. My policy is to let the cheaters have their loves, their forbidden fruit. I won’t play happy family with tea on Sundays like there isn’t a problem. A lot of people with low self-esteem are afraid that they won’t ever find another spouse, or maybe there are kids and property that are all wrapped up in the marriage, so it’s just cheaper to put up with all the cheating and play happy family. I think a lot of people find themselves in this situation, and it rolls over into their political lives. Well, that’s not where I am. I want to believe in the people who represent us politically, and those are my standards and the standards of a lot of people I know and associate with. What I hear from all these crybabies after this 2023 election are complaints that we have standards and that we should give those up and put up with the cheating wife who crawls out the window to multiple lovers across town, to keep the kids together, essentially.

To people like Sara Carruthers, it is considered “extreme” to have values.  The Trump MAGA movement is considered “extreme” because it does not want to put up with the politics of the past, where values are thrown out the window, and concessions with evil are endorsed.  In those kinds of statements, I hear a lazy person who doesn’t want to do the hard work of representation and upholding the values of the community she represents.  That certainly was the anger at Lynda O’Connor.  She did not express the community’s sentiment; she worked against it, even working to silence the community from having an opinion.  And that is what many of the insiders in the wake of the 2023 election have been expressing: frustration that they couldn’t control the narrative and impose some low bar that the rest of the community would put up with so they could compete with low-level Democrats for office seats.  If that is what we have to do to compete with Democrats, to play their dumb game, then the answer is, no. I know many people who will be a hard pass on that approach.  What’s the difference then between a Democrat and a Republican if the brand is destroyed by becoming one of them?  When Cindy Carpenter (Sheriff Jones’ budget girl) is campaigning for Democrats on election day.  I’ll pass if that is the kind of teamwork Sara Carruthers is talking about.  Like I’ve also been saying a lot lately to the soft-shelled tacos of the Republican Party, “With Republicans like you, who needs Democrats.” 

Here’s the deal: everyone can do what they want, I’ll only tell you once, Trump will be back in office.  There is going to be a very violent and tumultuous four years coming up while we clean up years and years of neglect.  And anybody who wants to ride that political train, get on and fasten your seat belt.  I know many people willing to fight for what’s right, and they will either do it arm-in-arm with a political party or work against you.  So, you better catch up if you want to do anything political.  It’s not extreme to have “high expectations,” and we are talking about that.  The anger at Lynda, Sara, Cindy, Sheriff Jones, and many of the business owners of Butler County who are only in politics to protect their investments is that they do not match the high expectations of those interested in politics that represent their values.  The message is that everyone should lower their values to accommodate the cheating spouse just to maintain the façade of marriage.  Which a lot of people do.  But these “extremists” that Sara is referring to are not those types of people.  Sincerity and honesty are not bad traits, and it is those traits that these aftermath losers are indicating are holding back the Republican Party.  I know many bright young people who would run for some of these future political offices.  But they will not kiss a ring or play nice with their morality.  This is why we end up with losers who lack ethical standards in some positions, which is why the Republicans are losing.  Not because the expectations are too high but because the kind of people they want are too lazy and too compromised to live up to those standards.  The future of politics will force that issue to be addressed, ready or not.  And in Butler County, Ohio, many are not.

Don’t Talk About Party Loyalty: Lynda O’Connor lost because she was disloyal to her base support

They keep saying we are a small, but loud minority of radicals, as if to say, critics aren’t important. But all that did was fuel the opposition against Lynda.

It wasn’t a surprise that Lynda O’Connor had an embarrassing defeat on the Lakota school board. She shouldn’t have run for another term after the mess she caused over the last few years. Her brand was down in a big way and instead of trying to right the ship, she dug in and alienated all the people she should have been working with. The voter turnout was unusually high for a Lakota school board race, but that is largely due to the increased interest from the scum bags and pot-smoking losers who voted to kill babies and legalize drugs, who went in the direction of Julie Shaffer and Doug Horton. During the election, I saw all of them as the same, but it was Lynda who I felt had personally betrayed me, and I couldn’t support her. This hold your nose, and voting for someone who has done a lousy job isn’t an excellent way to conduct elections. Lynda deviated from the original plan and decided to move to the hard left and work against Darbi Boddy, and after two years of mismanagement, the results were evident in the election. Unfortunately, Lynda dragged Russ Loges down on the ticket because the GOP was split and not united behind the candidates. When you don’t have the Central Committee lined up with the desired outcome, it’s never a good thing. And it’s even worse to tell them to deal with the party leadership picks and to accept bad behavior. Lynda O’Conn0r was horrible as a school board president, especially after all the support that was thrown her way. She used people to get power, then abused that power overtly to destroy a popularly picked school board member in Darbi Boddy and cause problems between her and Issac Adi. And the results were evident well before voters cast a vote on how election night was going to turn out.

This is why Lynda O’Connor Lost the Lakota School Board. The Republican Party doesn’t run the voters. The voters run the party. The RINOs aren’t in charge.

I was in Japan, far away from Ohio when it became apparent to me what the cost of Lynda seeking re-election was going to have on Butler County politics. Over the previous two years, we had seen a couple of incidents where party leaders had abused their power to attack upcoming talent or long-standing respected leaders. Such a case was what Sherrif Jones did to Roger Reynolds, essentially sticking the label of a felon onto the former auditor for entirely personal reasons, which then of course alienated the base of the Republican Party. Then, of course, Darbi was a popular pick, and Lynda went on a campaign of personal destruction against her, which resulted in two years of bad branding. I told Lynda on a phone call about a year ago how to fix it, and she ignored the advice. She dug in and name-dropped a few people she thought was important then continued to support horrendous behavior on the school board and aligned herself closer to Julie Shaffer and Kelly Casper. And in the process, she made herself indistinguishable. People who don’t understand these things so well put their support behind her believing they had control of the party and the people in it like some kingly aristocrat and they resorted to a lot of pushing and shoving to get everyone aligned, which was not going to work with the Tea Party types in the Republican Party. Then, to make matters worse, they sought to destroy the Tea Party of West Chester to make their point more vocal, which essentially sealed the fate of Lynda O’Connor in politics. She had used the West Chester Tea Party to advance herself as a brand for the Lakota school board. And when she turned against those values, she lost the only real support she ever had.

After I returned, I attended a Central Committee meeting in Liberty Township after there were some political shenanigans in West Chester with their Central Committee, and it was obvious that the establishment types were going to screw everything up. The RINOs wanted appeasement, and the MAGA types wanted authenticity, so there was going to be an impasse, and it was just going to have to play out. Republicans everywhere, locally and nationally, have gotten into a lot of trouble trying to appease evil, and it has caused them to work with Democrats on all kinds of Marxist issues and has essentially pulled the country away from its foundation and more toward socialism and Marxism all because they wanted to “hold their nose and support the party.” For the preservation of a party that only wanted to live, not actually to represent voters’ values. That has left people who have values and want to see those values supported in politics hungry for accurate representation. That’s why Trump is running for president as opposed to all the other Republican offerings they have tried to give us over the last few decades. And with all the excellent work that has been done, a lot of people in the Republican Party didn’t get it. I explain it to them voluminously, but they don’t have the mind to listen. They think they know better, and the best they can give you is to hold your nose and put up with what your “betters” can provide you. They emphasized that they knew better what that was, and everyone should get in line and deal with it. Support Lynda because she didn’t want to challenge Ann Becker for the open West Chester trustee position because Ann was in trouble over trans rights, so Lynda screwed up and ran again after two years of serious mistakes, and everyone thought it was going to work out great?

A political party either represents voters, or it doesn’t. There have been times that I have loved being affiliated with the Republican Party and have been very proud of what we have had in Butler County. But then, after these last few years, since Trump has been out of office and everyone has snapped back into their true natures, we have seen a lot of embarrassment that reminds me of the old Bob Shelly days with Michael Fox. Party politics, arm twisting, deception, all the kinds of things that made people run to Ross Perot or Donald Trump. And they will continue to run because they don’t want to support the politics of the machine. I’m not interested in politics to hold my nose and vote for some loser, all for the “party.” I want to see things run well with constitutional value. But don’t lecture anybody on supporting the endorsed candidates as a base of loyalty to the Republican Party. Lynda went after Darbi, and the party should have helped the “Republican Endorsed” person. And Sheriff Jones worked to destroy the life of a very popular Republican in Roger Reynolds, and nobody stepped in to help him. And nobody stepped in to save the West Chester Tea Party when a media campaign went against them and essentially destroyed them for the time being, at least their meeting venue. When the RINOs decide to fight the actual base and future of the party, nobody should have expected good results for Lynda. Lynda had to earn those votes. Instead, she went on a crusade of personal destruction and acted as if she were entitled to the position purely off the backs of party affiliation. And some of the back-bending endorsements from people I know were concerned that they would be cut off from the money machine, were reprehensible. And the results reflect just how bad it was. When the approach to an election was filled with such ridiculously stupid behavior, the results should surprise nobody.

How Lynda O’Connor has become more of a RINO over the last few years

If anybody needs a reminder, why not to vote for Lynda O’Conner on November 7th, 2023 here it is. While she was always something of a RINO, she has become excessively worse over the last several years. Remember this when you vote.

The Horrible Report Card at Lakota Schools: Lynda O’Conner has become the Jack Smith of Butler County

If you ever wanted to know why Lakota schools had a terrible report card of 3.5 out of 5 when it should have been, as surrounding districts were, a perfect 5, the reason was sitting in a Butler County, Ohio courtroom on September 15th, 2023.  No, it wasn’t Isaac Adi trying to get a protection order against Darbi Boddy that was the problem; it was Lynda O’Conner, who was also present, who was behind everything.  Poor little Judge Lyons was there representing Isaac in such a ridiculous case.  That he was deceived into doing Lynda’s “Get Darbi at all cost” obsession said everything.  He’s a pretty nice guy, and wouldn’t have been there but out of obligation.  The drama and destruction at Lakota fell on one person’s shoulders, Lynda O’Conner.  Rather than playing politics and embarking on a campaign of personal destruction, she should have been managing the Lakota school system, which shows in the report card.  And I know precisely how Judge Lyons got involved in Lynda’s business, which is essentially just the same as Jack Smith’s case against President Trump, with Smith behaving just like Lynda and Darbi being our local version of President Trump.  I know because I’ve tried to help Lynda personally for years and I understand that look on Judge Lyon’s face, the “why am I here” look.  Lynda, over the last week, has personally been involved in so much destruction.  Her crusade against Darbi Boddy is well chronicled, but her fingerprints are all over the Jews against the West Chester Tea Party case, too, which blasted them all over the media needlessly, not caring at all who it might hurt.  It was vicious politics and really unacceptable, especially since it involved long-time friends. Having disagreements with friends is one thing. Trying to destroy them is quite another. The smoke is still clearing on that one, but guess who is at the center of all that destruction?  All because they didn’t endorse Lynda, and she didn’t want to do the “meet the candidate night?” So rather than going there to get asked tough questions, destroying the venue was the next best option? Those are my assumptions based on knowledge of the people involved. Give me a break. You don’t get to go out and try to personally destroy entire organizations, just as she has done with Darbi, just because they don’t do what you want them to do.  Then call up all these “powerful friends” to help you do it.  That is corrupt politics on steroids. 

Meanwhile, the previous superintendent, who had all the trouble and put Lakota in such a bad place, was hired by Lynda, and Lynda personally managed him.  Many of the legal fees that the district has suffered are because of her mismanagement of his time at Lakota; she was the school board president and had the gavel.  Based on the police reports, he was much more interested in maintaining a swinger life with area Lakota parents and strangers on Craigslist than in ensuring that Lakota schools was a great district.  That is probably, given the destruction in her wake, which I have personally gone way out of my way to help her avoid, was the dumbest thing she could have done.  I see the public education system as just a fancy babysitting service, and I put my personal beliefs on hold to help her enormously, including when she wanted my help to get Darbi and Isaac elected.  Then, what I witnessed in personal destruction up close regarding Darbi was bizarre and a serious waste of my time, which I’m pretty angry about.  I didn’t want to know everything I did that made up that poor report card for Lakota, which all these same losers want to blame on disruptions caused by Darbi.  Give me a break.  That is like the Democrat Party saying that the world would be so much better if not for President Trump.  This politics of personal destruction is a Democrat thing, culminating in that Butler County courtroom.  Lynda started the fights between Isaac and Darbi.  And she even managed to get an old friend in Judge Lyons drug into a mess she created.

A lot goes into public education report cards, but it comes down to one thing: the teacher’s union’s control over the education process.  It states simply, “Pay us more money, and you’ll get a better report card.”  All the report card people are aligned to that objective, and next year, Lakota has a teacher’s contract coming up where all these horrible employees will want raises.  And if they get them, the report card will suddenly be a four or a five.  The real solution to Lakota’s problems would be to have four more parents who care on the school board and to fire all the senior-level sticks in the mud who work at Lakota and hire young, fresh talent who you can get for half the pay because it’s payroll that is the problem and what they do.  We don’t need a bunch of radical Joe Biden supporters teaching kids Critical Race Theory and gender neutrality at a six-figure hit to the budget.  Then, ask the community to pass a tax increase when their taxes are already out of control, and the hidden inflation tax is destroying their basic lifestyles.  The Lakota school board is supposed to be like Darbi Boddy has been.  Not a lay down across the train tracks like Lynda O’Conner has done for over 16 years catering to the teacher’s union while playing Republican to everyone who doesn’t want their taxes to go up—but doing the exact opposite regarding actual policy.

I have spoken to hundreds of people about Lynda’s bizarre behavior toward fellow school board member Darbi Boddy, and I think it all comes down to one thing: Darbi doesn’t look like the bottom of a foot.  And the irrational crusade against her isn’t over policy or presentation, but it’s over classic female rivalries.  Which is pretty ridiculous when you think about what’s at stake.  Many people are worried about real estate values because of the continued report cards at Lakota, which are expected to be excellent.  But honestly, the real estate value fear tactic is old news now.  Schools are good because of the people who invest in real estate.  Schools aren’t the primary drivers; location and culture matter far more.  The public schools are just places where parents can drop their kids off while parents do “busy stuff.”  But in Lakota’s district, child-aged parents are a pretty small demographic.  Most people living in Lakota don’t have kids in the community.  So all this Lakota news is a waste of their time.  It’s not just Darbi; there are several young women who do not look like the bottom of a foot and don’t have to put on layers of caked make-up to go to the mailbox who want to run for the school board.  I have only seen this kind of bizarre behavior in situations where women are fighting each other over silly things, which is a pretty stupid thing for people who want to lead the district even to be concerned about.  Yet Judge Lyons was getting pulled into an even more foolish story, trying to validate Isaac’s fears of being harassed by Darbi.  It was like some dumb soccer game where a player is trying to draw a penalty, and a swift breeze comes along and ruffles the player’s hair, and they fall to the ground as if someone hit them.  When you see that kind of thing going on, well, it’s no wonder the report card for Lakota is a measly 3.5.  The situation that set up those conditions is older than when Darbi was on the board.  And like everything at Lakota and all the trouble dripping off it, Lynda O’Conner is at the center.  And she wants to be re-elected?  She owes a lot of people an apology, at the very least, Darbi, for one.  The West Chester Tea Party for another.  The Butler County Courts. And literally hundreds of people who have tried to help her, only to watch her essentially turn into the Jack Smith of our community.  And embarrass us all.

It’s Not About Unity in the Community or the Power of a Vocal Minority: But entirely a standard of right and wrong

This will be a nice yard sign for Trump supporters who can’t wait for next year to vote for, or against some anti-American political enemy.

Because I, like many people involved, I must at least provide fair warning. Enjoying people is one thing; agreeing with them is an entirely different matter. This was grotesquely obvious while driving by Lakota West in West Chester, Ohio, on August 8th, 2023, where the special election was a significant focus. As far as the eye could see from the road were Vote No signs, a blatant reminder that the progressive government school there is a factory of liberal politics intent to convert confiscated wealth from property owners and to turn it into Democrat activism. And many Republican-leaning people have been suckered into the game, even to support it against conservative, traditional values. Even on issues like Issue 1, which would have made it more difficult to change the Ohio Constitution, Lakota schools are aggressive in favor of change. That’s the purpose of their existence, to change our traditional American culture into some monstrosity of liberalism. And that election day was just a reminder of that sentiment and the genuine catastrophe of the upcoming fall election in November. Lynda O’Conner is up for re-election, and many people close to the matter have been hoping that she wouldn’t run because the opposition against her is on a crusade that has not been seen at Lakota in all the years of its existence. Before things get too messy here, I would call to mind a few monumental memories of the past, such as when the Tea Party had to take a stand against John Kasich after he turned into a progressive after his loss with the state labor unions. They turned him into a progressive pretzel, and many of us worked hard to destroy him because we had to. In a few short years, you don’t see him around anymore. And many of the people who are now pushing for Lynda O’Conner to be re-elected this fall, after all that’s happened, went after Speaker of the House John Boehner and essentially knocked him out of the Republican Party because he was too much of a RINO.

The plan is for these to be everywhere

It’s an old game; we all get it. Friendships are made with people who are politically dangerous so that they can be controlled and perhaps worked against their original positions. And that certainly has been the case with the Butler County Republican Party. It’s always tempting to be invited to the cool kids’ table just so they can control you, not because they really like you. I just spoke about an excellent event with Nancy Nix where some of us have had some cantankerous hostilities toward each other. But at that event, we put a lot of that aside and had a nice evening together and enjoyed the comedians who were performing. It was a nice story. But all that is about to go sideways with Lynda O’Conner, which is fine. But the belief that friendships and private meetings would turn the resistance against her into captured assets of compliance with party sentiments was ill-advised and has only stirred up the hornet’s nest. The people involved with this next generation’s fight against the progressive objectives of Lakota schools will not be enamored with the shiny keys of friendship and gaining a seat at the table with the cool kids of power. The people I know standing against Lynda O’Conner for this upcoming election have a moral problem with her. It goes far beyond even calling her a RINO. They are not interested in Unity for the Community or coming together as a Republican party; this is all about right and wrong and standing up to the intrusions of a progressive political machine that works against conservative values in every way possible. And the passion is much greater than in those days of Governor Kasich and John Boehner. Many of the people involved in those old battles are now part of the cool kid’s club, and they like it, and they are supporting Lynda for the upcoming election and have been whispering in her ear and thinking that little secret meetings and emails of consensus building might work as it had on them in the past. I heard about some of these attempts while driving by Lakota West on that August election day, and I feel compelled to warn everyone that this is different, and there will be severe brand damage in the aftermath. This is unlike anything yet experienced in politics, which says a lot. And I don’t think many people understand.

There is a really graphic version of this one that will be used later

The advice that I have been giving to people is that this is a throw-away election. If a new school board will not work with a three to two majority to eliminate excessive administrators to save runaway cost losses at the government schools, then what’s the point of any of it? Cutting 20 or 30 equity and inclusion administrative hires could save many millions of dollars, which Lakota needs to do. But there are a lot of soft-shelled tacos out there, some in the GOP who would be running as Democrats if it wasn’t Butler County who want to feel good about themselves by supporting a big government school. The trans issue has been a challenge forcing people’s real politics to emerge along those lines. I would say that because of the way everyone has treated Darbi Boddy as a school board member to let them choke on it. Let the rope go and let Lakota destroy itself; let the liberals have their way. Let them do what Biden has done to the country because then and only then will people wake up. The campaign to fight them will become more apparent when people see what they are about and can’t focus their union efforts of progressivism against someone like Darbi. And for the soft-shelled types who want to support Lakota under Lynda’s leadership, the tax levy they have in mind will change their sentiments quickly. And we’ll be back to fighting tax increases instead of legitimately trying to control the costs.

The people I have been talking to who are thinking of running and don’t think they have much of a chance, I have told them the same thing I’ve said to Lynda in the past. The union threshold is around 7000 voters. That is a baked-in number. If you want to beat them, you must get over 8000 voters, however possible. Lynda hopes to blend that a bit with GOP support, and enough RINO types are willing to cross that line because they don’t want more of a fight than what we have seen so far with Darbi on the board. Yet Lynda’s role against Darbi has woken up something new in the Lakota school district that goes far beyond typical political disagreements. Something that traditional politics has no way of dealing with. This is a battle over ethics and the essence of right and wrong, and the way Lynda handled the superintendent issue and the protection of children at Lakota is a deeply emotional issue that there is no compromise on. This isn’t like the days when the Tea Party wanted John Boehner out, and a more Tea Party type like Warren Davidson was put in, and everyone shook hands and ate a sandwich together. This is more of a civil war, casualties included. Many Lyin’ Lynda types have been waiting for this opportunity, and it’s only fair to warn everyone involved. Because I generally like everyone involved. But right and wrong are not negotiable. That’s certainly always been my position. If people wanted to be friends, okay, I’ve been willing. But I’ve never been willing to compromise right and wrong as determined by conservative, Republican politics. I’ve never been some dope-smoking libertarian. I’ve always been a traditional Republican party supporter. However, some of this new generation are perfectly willing to abandon any pretense of friendship to defend traditional, conservative values. And they are far more interested in doing what is suitable than compromising with what’s wrong to have unity in the community and an intact Republican party. And I provide that warning with sincerity for the good things in the past that have been done and the good memory of them.

These are the kind of teachers Lynda, Julie and Doug want teaching your kids at Lakota. Here is a recently hired teacher at Endeavor Elementary
