Why Trump’s Tariffs are Great: China was built completely off stolen money, and that is coming to an end

It is stunning how stupid so many people are, especially regarding Trump’s tariffs.  People need economic lessons.  I majored in economics in college, which I hated.  I thought it was boring, that the professors were stupid, and that the students were even worse.  I probably read too many books before I ever stepped into a college classroom for my good because I couldn’t get into the going through the motions thing to endure so much stupidity.  But I knew, even thirty years ago, that they were teaching Marxism in all the economic schools, which was surprising, given that Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations should have been the entry textbook.  Nobody in America should be studying economics without understanding Adam Smith and putting their arms entirely around capitalism.  We aren’t a communist, socialist, or Marxist nation with a parasitic economic system, and all those traders on Wall Street have fallen into the schools of Marxism as their reference point, and that’s on them.  I’ve known about the influence Marxism has had in our political and economic fields for a long time, but this stupidity even shocks me.  People should know better what Trump is doing.  And thank goodness he is doing it.  Our trade imbalances were put in place for one reason: to redistribute America’s wealth to other nations, to loot the only real capitalist country in the world and feed it to all the crazy lunatic communist and socialist countries of the far east and Europe.  Yes, China, to those who don’t know, which appears to be most people working in the finance industry, is a communist country that has made all of its money off stealing it from the United States.  China did not create wealth and become the powerhouse it is today because it did something better in the world than everyone else.  They did it because they were built off stolen money, and Trump’s trade tariffs are designed to take that money back, as it should have been all along.

Go ahead and mark it on your calendars, these renegotiated trade deals from Trump will immediately infuse the American economy with trillions of dollars of new revenue, which has been part of our exporting portfolio.  The price of oil is coming down.  We will soon be shipping energy all over the world again, which will be worth trillions more.  And on the frontier of DOGE, we are going to address many of the assumptions about the size and cost of government that will pave the way for the future, where running our economy in the black will become the norm.  This is how you get there, and everyone should understand that.  They should have known this all along.  This should be taught in our colleges.  It’s basic economics from the perspective of Adam Smith’s capitalism.  I have several copies of Smith’s Wealth of Nations that I have read through so many times that the pages are nearly falling out of all the copies.  I have one in my office that I recently purchased because it comes up so often that people want to see it, and those older copies weren’t in a condition to be looked through without falling apart in their hands.  So, why isn’t that the case with everyone? Because it should be, otherwise we can’t even have a foundation discussion on economics unless that essential reference point is understood.  All these traders who focused on stock value should have seen the signs; it’s not like we didn’t tell you what was happening.  What they have been dealing with was fake value.  What they will be dealing with is actual value, reset by these tariffs, which puts the power position back into the United States, where it should always have been.

I want to mention a couple of things as a reminder of how we arrived at this point.  They are conspiratorial, but certainly not untrue.  Not convenient for people who would rather not know.  But Covid was a bioweapon created and released in China, which was accelerated to the world stage to knock Trump out of office during an election year.  COVID-19 was released shortly after Trump implemented the tariffs against China in the first months of 2020.  The free money was coming to an end for them, and they conspired with a lot of forces, especially at the World Economic Forum, to release a pandemic in the world to allow for the desired Great Reset of the global economy into a fully micromanaged Marxist perspective where China would rule the world from that position.  If you don’t understand that, go back and review all the evidence, and you will see that it was clearly what happened.  The other thing that happened was the conspiracy of the Federal Reserve to prop up radical leftist losers like Larry Fink at BlackRock to essentially use him to artificially prop up the stock market with a balloon that was always going to burst.  But they thought that by the time it did, the dollar would be gone and we’d be on a digital currency, and they’d never get caught for what they’d done.  The Fed and Wall Street conspired to print phony money with no gold backing, using it to inflate the market with cash that would be laundered through the stock exchanges, thereby creating entirely fictitious value. 

That’s what we do in real estate all the time, where we built a house for $ 50,000 30 years ago.  The house is the best house it was ever going to be when it started.  As it ages, it starts to fall apart and requires frequent renovation.  But our expectation of that value increases.  Today, that house is worth 200K or 300K, that same house, because we expect a Ponzi scheme where the future will pay for the profits of the past, until, of course, you hit the brick wall of diminishing marginal returns, which is where a lot of young people are today.  They can’t afford to pay $300,000 for a house that is still only worth $50,000 in absolute value. That’s what the Fed and BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard did to the world’s money supply, and they thought they would get away with it because the world would switch to a digital currency before the balloon burst.  However, instead, we elected Trump, and he was intent on correcting this mess because he understood it from the inside out. He promised voters that he would do precisely what he is doing now: bring the value of the world’s economy home, which is what is happening now.  All those jobs shipped all over the globe because of horrendous economic policies will come home for their survival.  Prices in America will decrease due to increased competition.  And our economy will be awash in cash, lots of it.  And quickly.  The only people who will suffer are those who were betting on the demise of America, which includes many traders on Wall Street.  That is on them.  They were warned, and they placed their bets against America anyway; so, no amount of crying about it now will put the genie back in the bottle.  I am very proud of Trump.  But what he’s doing isn’t strange or unusual.  I’m just happy he had the guts to do it, and now everyone will see for themselves what they should have learned in school – how the economy works.  And Karl Marx was a slack-jawed loser that nobody should have listened to, ever.  And for all those colleges who taught all these young kids who are now grown adults Marxism, they should be giving back what those educations cost, because they crippled people, they didn’t help them, and now they are too stupid to function in the world.

Firefly Lands on the Moon: Another step toward a space economy

Never forget that at 3:34 AM on March 2, 2025, Firefly’s Blue Ghost lunar lander touched down on the moon’s surface.  It’s the second time a private company achieved a soft lunar landing, indicating many good things to come.  The first was Odysseus from Intuitive Machines almost a year ago.  I know several people at Firefly and know how significant their company is growing in the right direction, and this landing was an important historical marker showing that a smaller commercial company can pull off something like this in a partnership with NASA.  It would take NASA decades to do these launches, and now we see these private companies in a profoundly competitive undertaking, and they are doing so successfully.  There will be many more good things to come from Firefly, which is very exciting, and this goes along with what I have been saying about space.  This landing occurred one day before SpaceX sent Starship 8 into space, and just ahead of Blue Origin, a ship full of women, like celebrity Katy Perry, going into space as if it were just another day at the office.  Space is becoming routine, which is what we want to see happen.  And the moon has needed much more attention than it has received; we should have never stopped going.  I don’t care if aliens were on the moon to scare off Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, pushing us never to return.  NASA moved into the Space Shuttle program after the Apollo missions, but we have never since the early 70s dared to return to the moon.  Now, we have private companies doing the job that governments were too slow to do themselves.  And it’s all very exciting.  Firefly is a great new company, and it will play a significant role in the expansion of a space economy that I have been talking about for quite some time now.

And while discussing it, I’ll make a few predictions.  Just as Elon Musk is pushing for humanity to get into space and settle on Mars, to ensure that humans survive, I would dare say that this isn’t the first time our species has encountered this problem.  I think we will find that the relics on Mars are from our history and that our move to Earth was for many of the same reasons that we want to now return to Mars.  Not to discover it for the first time but to return there and complete a story that began for us many thousands of years ago.  Elon Musk is simply fulfilling the hard-wired desires that are built into human consciousness to ensure the continuation of the species, in the same way a sperm knows to penetrate the egg within a woman.  We must penetrate space to move our species as a thinking consciousness into the universe, as we were meant to.  On earth as it is in Heaven.  We are meant to ascend into Heaven, to the kingdoms we know from our past, which are in the sky. Mark it on your calendar and remember who told you all this.  Once we move into space and start checking things out, that’s when we are going to learn about ourselves.  The proof is coming.  I would say that it is all around us, hidden behind our institutionalized history.  But that won’t last very long; the evidence is abundant and will be confirmed with a space economy.  I could go into quite a long discussion about hidden lifeforms behind a curtain of Dark Matter made of neutrinos and cold fusion.  But let’s save that for other times.  Instead, let’s talk about the excitement of this growing economy brought to us by commercial-driven space utilization.

At a recent Vivek Ramaswamy governor announcement event at CTL Aerospace, I must have had more than 100 people ask me why I love aerospace.  And I tell them that the future is there.  It’s been like panning for gold in a little mountain stream during the Gold Rush.  I get a lot of offers to make a lot of money doing many things, especially in communications.  But I like to stay close to where the gold is, and I like knowing people like the cool cats at Firefly and other companies.  I get very excited every time SpaceX puts up a new rocket.  From all I know about history and science, I see aerospace as the ultimate gold nugget, and I’ve been committed to it for over four decades.  To use a Western metaphor, I’d rather dig for gold in aerospace than sit in a comfortable job in town as a lawyer or communications expert.  It’s not the money that excites me; the growth of human intellect and what adventure can bring us is the ultimate treasure.  But that doesn’t mean that money doesn’t matter.  But on a scale that I think is better than just some average well-paying job.  The growth of the space economy will far outpace any technical time humans have ever experienced, whether it be steamships, early airplanes, trains, or automobiles.  The space economy will likely contribute hundreds of trillions of dollars to the first to utilize it.  And that, to me, is the best of the big gold nuggets.  But this time we should have learned some critical lessons, to keep the Marxists out of this business, as they dramatically crippled every modern industry that humans have invented.  The Firefly launch is more vital than past attempts when Trump is in office and cheerleading on all these efforts.  So, the resolution rate is much higher than at any other time in history.

I watched Brit Hume on Fox News the other night stumble around perplexed about how Trump thinks he will go into all these tariff wars, cut taxes, and still expand the economy.  As everyone was, he spoke about an economy that they think has seen the climax of its days and that all government management has to be wrapped around managing those fixed assets.  But that’s not where Trump is as he is facing down what we all are, a 36 trillion dollar deficit that is out of control.  If you want to fix that without touching the Social Security and Medicare concept, something dramatic has to happen.  And as I have been pointing out, it’s in this space economy.   With Firefly putting their lunar module on the moon after a drought of 50 years, a half a century.  Our economy has been held back by a lot of Marxist parasites who moved into administrative positions at NASA and the Pentagon and held back human civilization in a very catastrophic way.  However, the more private people have grown more powerful, and the more that government has lost it, the more companies like SpaceX and Firefly have grown and are now doing the big things.  And that is where the future treasures are.  And that is the only kind of treasure I care about in the long line of treasures in any economy.  The best to my mind is in space, and the adventures to come.  And when I see scrappy companies like Firefly have success, I am more than happy for them.  These are fascinating times!

Zelenskyy Should Have Been Thrown Out of the White House Just for Dressing as a Slob: J.D. Vance exposed the scam, and they hate him for it

Zelenskyy should have worn a suit to the Oval Office.  His grunge band look is disrespectful to the White House, and I’m not a fan of ever showing up to any professional engagement without wearing a tie.  I can’t recall ever doing anything professional with anybody where I didn’t wear a tie and jacket.  Especially during a dinner meeting where you know professional discussions will take place.  A jacket and tie show respect for the work that needs to be done.  And when Trump greeted the Ukrainian President upon arriving at the White House, he joked a bit about Zelenskyy’s dress-down approach to politely warn him of the American expectations.  But it’s part of Zelenskyy’s begging gig for Ukraine and is part of a much larger issue of globalism playing down any individual achievement over collective salvation.  It’s a Marxist thing to reject professionalism and respect and to lean in favor of the pointless nature of expectation.  And it didn’t take long for it all to blow up in Zelensky’s face when he was confronted by a reporter who asked the beggar why he didn’t come to the White House with a suit and tie.  And Zelenskyy gave a sarcastic answer, which J.D. Vance was done with.  The sparks started to fly about how disrespectful Zelenskyy was to the Trump administration.  Trump wasn’t going to have any of it, and he then proceeded to dismantle Zelenskyy, the former comedian, and kick him out of the White House without accomplishing the mineral deal that the Ukrainian President was there to sign.  Don’t show up to meetings unprepared, and don’t be disrespectful, especially when the entire campaign of resistance depends on the United States to fund the war against Russia.  When you are playing with other people’s money, you don’t have any leverage, so just shut up when you are told.

I am not a supporter of Ukraine.  As far as I’m concerned, Ukraine was a part of the Soviet Union just a few years ago and became its own country when the fall of communism forced several breakaways from the former superpower.  Ukraine is a creation of globalism and a political fight between a one-world order run by the United Nations and any concept of nationalism.  Vladimir Putin of Russia, as a former KGB manipulator from their glory days, wants to restore Russia to its previous borders, so there are parts of his nationalism approach that we share in the United States as we are moving away from a borderless world and back to protecting our borders from globalism.  It was never a fight we should have been in, but Russia was pushed to act by the Biden administration, doing what globalism wanted, which was to overextend Russia so that American money would support Ukraine to destroy the nationalism status of Putin and force his people to reject him after a failed enterprise.  That hasn’t happened, and Trump ran on getting American money out of Ukraine, so time is over for sympathy toward  Zelenskyy’s begging-for-money campaign toward objectives that seem endless and without a point.  People are dying in the war, but what does more money do? Make more people die?  That was Trump’s point, and when Zelenskyy essentially tried to scare Trump into believing that we couldn’t afford to take a casual approach because we have a big ocean protecting us, that was the end for Trump.  And he lacerated Zelenskyy as he was supposed to and kicked him out of the White House with no deal.  Zelenskyy should have at least shown up with a jacket and tie to show the appropriate respect.

And it’s not so safe in America as Zelenskyy insinuated.  We have Russia right off our coast in Alaska.  We have socialists in the north, with Canada.  And we have communists in Cuba and outright hostile Marxists in Mexico, which have all contributed to our border crises.  Most of the central and South American countries have some Marxism in their approach, so many hostilities are threats to America.  We don’t have an ocean to protect us from harm.  And anybody who says that America should be funding Ukraine’s fight against Russia doesn’t understand the real drivers of the war, which are pretty layered and ominous and have very little to do with the actual war itself.  We’re not all in this together.  There are good decisions and bad decisions, and we aren’t chained to people who make bad decisions just as we aren’t chained to brothers and sisters or even parents who make bad decisions in our families If people behave foolishly, there is a payment for that, and its not up to the American taxpayers to rescue every fool from bad decisions they made.  When he was kicked out of the White House, Zelenskyy got on a plane and took off for England, where they foolishly gave him 2 billion dollars as a loan to essentially one-up America.  But Trump doesn’t care, and Americans get it, which is why they voted for Trump.  Ukraine must understand that America is their domestic policy and should be much more respectful.  We don’t owe them anything, which was how Zelenskyy approached his meeting with Trump, as if we did.  Trump supporters put him in the White House just for that kind of meeting, and it’s what we expect him to do representing us.  And J.D. Vance did a great job as well.  There was much to be proud of regarding that meeting with Zelenskyy last Friday of February 2025. 

But there is more to the story. It’s this casual dress that Zelenskyy is always wearing; he wears this pajama outfit all over the place as if he is in such a beggar mode all the time that he can’t afford a suit.  I despise this approach to any business meeting.  It’s something we see all over the world and is part of a Marxist push that has seeped into every aspect of our culture.  This casual Friday approach to professionalism is a trend that we need to reject.  I hate it.  I always wear a suit and tie to professional engagements to show respect for the work we intend to do.  I don’t like casual Fridays.  I don’t like dress-down Mondays.  Even in high school, I wore a jacket and tie every day.  And I do the same now for every professional engagement.  And when they run into dinner after important meetings, I usually never take my tie off until the day is over, even after others have removed theirs and opened up a few buttons to relax with some drinks.  To me, this is sloppy, and I don’t do it.  I think the world should return to professional attire for all business meetings; the trend to dress down and be a slob has not worked out well.  I know Elon Musk is part of this new technology group that dresses down for everything, but that includes him.  If you go to the White House, show respect and dress appropriately.  When discussing money in any regard, everyone should wear professional attire, especially in the case of Ukraine.  And for just that reason alone, Zelenskyy deserved to be kicked out of the White House, just as anybody else should have been.  And based on J.D. Vance’s performance regarding all this, I’m ready for him to be president in 2028. He’ll be a great continuation of the Trump administration.

When Will the Price of Eggs Come Down: Understanding the basics of economics

It is truly stunning how poor people’s educations are these days, and they don’t understand the basics of economics.   I grew up thinking a lot about Kunta Kinte, the main character from Roots, who was very popular on television during my childhood.  Not that I’m a supporter of the 1619 Project or anything below the line like that, but if I had been growing up during the abolitionist period that led to the Civil War, I would have been a hardcore anti-slavery guy, and I would dare say that if not for the United States, there would still be slavery in the world because that is how the world did business in that period.  I’m pro-freedom for everyone on earth, and I hate authority over anybody as a general policy.  So I found it repulsive while watching Roots that slave owners would cut off the feet of Kunta Kinte so that he couldn’t run away.  Or that enslaved people were not allowed to learn to read, which to me is just as crippling.  Keeping people dumb and disabled is a means of controlling them, and I flat-out don’t like it for anybody.  I spend a significant portion of my life trying to teach people to be brighter so they can taste the benefits of free life as much as possible because that is the heart of the human experience.  And for me, that includes drug use or any kind of dependency.  If it robs people of self-initiative, I am against it.  That is precisely why I have hated our public education system in America since the Department of Education was created, because it was terrible and inspired to make people dependent on other people rather than teach them to be free.  That’s why I have fought against public education most of my life.

However, what we see coming out of this new Trump administration is astonishing regarding how economies work.  The basic laws of supply and demand are not known to people in general, and they want to see why the price of eggs is not lower than it is with the flip of some switch that President Trump controls.  I don’t think the New World Order ever thought someone like President Trump would ever be in the American White House again because they were not prepared for the level of competency that he, as an American business executive, brings to the office.  I don’t see anything that Trump is doing as unusual.  Controlling and cutting costs are the very basics in any business endeavor, and what the Trump administration is doing is essential business.  It’s what we should be doing everywhere.  But it exposes how dumb many people have become because they are modern versions of poor Kunta Kinte.  They may have their feet and be able to read.  However, the wisdom of humans in using those tools has been destroyed by a public education system and a philosophy of globalism in general that has made them no better off in life.  Their years in school have crippled them in just the same way that enslaved people were crippled by their masters for all the same reasons.  And because of that, people don’t understand why prices are so messed up on everything these days, and when Trump says that he is going to fix it, they don’t know that it’s much more complicated than just flipping on a switch and everything returns to normal.  No, we are dealing with government forces who, through policy, have actually destroyed entire market sectors in a wealth redistribution scheme of socialism at large, and the amount of evil involved exceeds what most people can process.

The price of eggs, gasoline, or any consumer goods starts with the burden of an over-regulatory policy that crushes small egg manufacturers out of business and leaves only the corporate conglomerates with massive lobby power in Washington to survive.  They can afford the high prices of eggs because government policies destroy their competition, so they can maintain their margins through a monopoly status.  Especially since COVID-19, when administrative fools made a power grab for global authority and burdened all economic policies so that many companies couldn’t survive.  Many companies went out of business during the Covid period, and many never bounced back after they bought hook, line, and sinker the scam of Covid protocols, all the work-from-home nonsense, elimination of multi-shift fulfillment, and a transportation industry desperately looking for over the road truckers to keep everything in the American economy moving at the speed of business.  Eight years of Obama and 4 years of Biden, with just 4 years of sanity in between with Trump the first time, has left the American economy a disaster with too much government tampering through regulation, and that is why the cost of eggs is high, and many other things.  There aren’t enough suppliers to compete with each other because all that has survived were the big corporate conglomerates who are only in business now because they could afford to buy through lobbying power, politicians that would keep them safe from too much regulation.  But under these masked communist administrations, which Obama certainly was, and Biden was trying to mimic, regulation was their weapon, and Covid was the ultimate regulatory weapon that could mass shape the economy of the world toward centralized state control of all assets and prices could be whatever they decided they were. 

The ultimate target was the fossil fuel industry. The government believed that if prices were too high, people would choose to use public transportation and move to electric cars and alternative solar energy as an occult dedication to Mesopotamian religious beliefs of nature worship on a mass scale.  These governments had so little respect for people in general that they thought they’d get away with everything, that if they didn’t teach us to read and cut off our feet so we could never run away, we’d be their political slaves forever.  The way to bring down prices is to make it more conducive for more egg manufacturers to compete with other egg manufacturers so that prices will come down to the best supplier.  That’s how basic economics works; the more government tampering, the higher the prices.  The less, the cheaper.  The balance is in how much regulation is needed not to discourage upstarts and still produce products that are generally safe outside the normal market controls.  And for that to happen, Trump will inspire prices to come down within a few months.  And within a few years, economic pricing will dramatically change.  But it won’t happen in just a few weeks.  People who would even think so, shows how badly they understand things, such as fundamental economic theory.  I majored in economics in college, and many people thought I’d make a living at it because I was good at understanding the concepts in a way that was difficult for other people to get their minds around.  But these things are so basic that I would have been bored to death.  These are the basics of human existence and aren’t complicated.  It’s great that Trump is back in the White House, and it won’t take long to make the American economy the best in the world.  We will start to see the signs of that during 2025.  But it will be slow and gradual, not dramatic and fast.  It takes time for small businesses to form to take on the corporate conglomerates and to bring prices down with competition.  And until there is more competition for everything, prices will be high.

The Tariff’s on Mexico, Canada, and China: Stopping the looting of Marxist countries and their unearned merit

Let’s do some basic math to understand the genius of Trump’s economic proposals of using tariffs to replace internal taxation, and to put the wealth that America generates back to the people who make it, not the leeching socialists, communists, and Marxists who have been living off America for over a century with unearned merit.  President Trump is talking about getting rid of the ridiculous Jekyll Island progressive income tax system that was devised in 1913, which generates around 2.4 trillion dollars a year.  The new proposed tariffs for Mexico and Canada are around 25% to deal with a trade deficit of around 200 billion dollars for each country.  DOGE is discussing cutting around one trillion dollars from the budget, which I think is a very conservative start.  There is much more to get, but it’s a good beginning.   And with China, Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on top of an already maintained limit of roughly 10.1%.  So there is a long way to go to get all these countries up and over 20%.  And we haven’t even started talking about Europe, specifically the EU, and the lack of support they all have poured into NATO, which we have almost funded at 100%.  Socialist economists, just about everyone coming out of the university system, can’t get their minds around this.  But essentially, enough money would be generated to take America back to wealth levels before the creation of the Fed and the Internal Revenue Service.  Enough money will be generated to create an External Revenue Service, allowing us to eliminate the federal income tax and replace it with better revenue generators. 

The problem with Jekyll Island was that it was created by very wealthy people who were globalists in their assumption about where the world was headed, and it essentially planned to use the United States to fund a one-world government off the backs of Americans.  And even if America were left a carcass in the end, it would be, from the socialist point of view, for the greater good.  And that’s where we find ourselves today.  Only, they never planned for Americans to ever put someone like President Trump in office with a promised platform to undo it all.   I think the Jekyll Island participants were trying to do what they thought was right when they came up with the Federal Reserve and the Progressive Income Tax system.  But most murderers could also justify their crimes in the same way.  It sounded like a good idea then, but upon reflection, over a century later, it was a disaster.  And we’re tired of it.  What Trump is talking about doing is brilliant and well-needed.  It will be earth-shattering for the world.  It will cause some short-term disruptions in the supply chain and profit margins.  It will drive up prices a bit, but that’s OK.  There are a lot of costs that will snap into shape quickly, and people will be pleased with the result.  We have needed as a nation to cut ties with all these socialist and communist countries who, by design, were set up to loot and pillage American capitalism to choke it off and destroy it and call it good, friendly international relations. 

Watching Justin Trudeau speaking from Canada about the pending tariffs was quite a spectacle.  That Canadians would cry over tariffs from America, which would undoubtedly be painful for them, indicates how out of touch they have always been.  They have existed off the good work that America has produced, which has allowed them to spread Marxism to every corner of the planet while not paying the price for too much-centralized government.  In many ways, Mexico has enjoyed the same liberties, which is why the country is run essentially by drug cartels.  Their trade imbalance with the United States has allowed them to make bad economic decisions because if they stumbled and fell, it was the United States that always picked them back up.  It is through the theft and looting that China has gained superpower status from emerging as essentially a third-world backwater armpit of a country, as it was during World War II and would have easily been conquered by Japan if America had not intervened.  The same people who put together the plan for Jekyll Island are the same type of investors who propped up China to become a world power of dominant communism and the global, centralized government model.  And these efforts are over a century old, but they didn’t just start there.  They emerged with the Marxist movement as soon as transportation allowed for easy travel and communication from country to country.  Globalism planned to loot off the success of America, steal American wealth, and redistribute it through centralized government to every corner of the world.  That is the hard fact of centralized banking and their intentions at Jekyll Island.  It was an early form of predatory lending to destroy the host for some lofty investment in social construct.  China didn’t earn its wealth; it was created by the very same global investors who purposely tried to destroy America without firing a single shot in a military campaign.  And President Trump is doing as he promised he would upon re-election; he’s stopping the carnage. 

America’s best years were around 1870 to 1913.  After that Jekyll Island mess, everything started going downhill from there.  And it is back to those policies that President Trump is proposing to return.  This is the period of western expansion, gold coming out of the west, railroads, and great optimism.  It’s why progressives want us to think of that period as an imposition on the American Indian.  At that time, boatloads of Marxists were stepping off ships in New York from Europe and trying to convince everyone what a brilliant idea Karl Marx had.  Because Americans were personally wealthy, compared to other places in the world, they could afford to listen, and the poison was injected into our political system, which has stayed there for more than a century now.  However, President Trump is finally starting to remove that poisoning from our political and economic systems.  And it will happen quickly because the value of what is made in the world primarily comes from America—and consumed.  So goes America, so goes the world.  It might take a minute to untangle the mess given to us.  However, Trump’s tariffs are the first step toward a much more excellent economic recovery package.  Not one that looks at the 80s and wants to replicate Ronald Reagan.  However, one that steps back to the 1870s, the period of Reconstruction, where more people of all places and colors could elevate their lives through personal wealth than had occurred at any point in history.  The economy Trump is proposing to build and do it quickly will be the greatest that history has ever seen anywhere in the world at any time.  But best of all, these countries getting tariffs to cover trade imbalances are all losers who have adopted Karl Marx’s thoughts about economic development.  America is turning away from that garbage, and it will force those other countries to do the same, or they won’t be able to compete.  They have avoided that fate up until now because America funded their communist fantasies.  But with Trump’s moves, that isn’t happening anymore.  And that is great news ahead of an exciting future.

Put All The Drug Dealers and Terrorists to Death: Why Mexico needs a lot more guns

Watching how the system defends itself as an issue of much greater levity than the H-1B visa issue emerging in Mexico is interesting.  As we saw an obvious coordinated attack by terrorists in both Las Vegas and New Orleans on New Year’s Day 2025 there is a common theme behind it all. These are the anti-civilization people of global crime syndicates who hide behind a created weaponized religion from 600 AD to stifle the world under the tyranny of fear. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves and stay focused here. One of the biggest stories that nobody is talking about is how Mexico, ahead of Trump returning to the White House, is trying to sue American gun manufacturers, specifically Smith & Wesson, for the border violence that their country is causing.  Essentially, they are saying that the gun violence that their out-of-control drug cartels are utilizing would not be possible if not for American guns.  It was an astonishing segment on 60 Minutes during the Holiday season of 2024, where the proposal to go after American gun manufacturers was presented as a proactive measure by the country that is most causing trouble, as Mexico doesn’t have an effective government.  They are run by organized crime from the drug cartels, which is precisely why we have to finish the wall and essentially go to war with those criminal syndicates.  It’s the typical leftist approach, which, of course, the official government of Mexico are hard-left socialists and has been for several years now, so they are a real problem.  For a lot of people, Mexico is a vacation destination where you can do things you can’t do in other places in the world, such as seeing women topless on the beach in some areas.  There aren’t as many social rules for vacationers, but some people find the lack of rules in Mexico fun.  But I’ve pointed out that there is a lot of crime just behind the veil, such as Cancun.  For years, on the way to and from the airport, there is a sex mall where you can get anything and everything, and the cartels run it.  And it’s all very evil and horrible and will continue as long as the drug cartels run the country. 

President Trump has made it quite clear that he is going to make drug dealing a capital offense and that tolerance for the drug cartels is over.  That American troops would be used to enforce justice among the drug cartels that have run wild for way too long.  And ahead of the mass deportations of the illegal immigrants that have occurred under Biden and Obama, the radical leftists of the world are trying to defend themselves from the change that is coming, and 60 Minutes came oddly enough to the defense of the drug cartels.  Instead, they found a different way to package their desire for gun control legislation.  To destroy the gun companies rather than to destroy the drug cartels because, after all, the drug dealers get their guns from America.  Mexico only has one gun store in the whole country, according to 60 Minutes, so they couldn’t be the problem in supporting the supply chain of gun violence.  It was pretty astonishing that they, as a representative of legacy media, could propose something like that with a straight face, given what we all know about the truth of the matter.  In reality, the real reason that Mexico has trouble with drug cartels is for that very reason: they don’t have enough guns.  If people had more guns, the drug cartels wouldn’t be the only ones who have them.  But in the world of micromanaging lefties, they think that if guns were eliminated, gun violence would stop. Instead, the reality of the matter is that vicious personalities, as people who choose to be in a drug cartel are, will always use violence to impose themselves on others, whether the object of violence is a brick, a rock, a knife, a stick, whatever they can get their hands on, they’ll use it.  And Mexico has made it hard to get guns for their legal population, and because of that, drug cartels don’t fear that anybody can fight back against them—even the Mexican government.  So, the 60 Minutes position favors the continued power and abuse of the drug cartels. 

Personally, and my local sheriff knows it, if he wants help busting these scum bags in Butler County, Ohio, he can call me any time of day or night.  I hate drug dealers; I hate drug use.  I hate people who do drugs, even soft drugs.  And drug dealers knowingly try to harm people when they sell drugs that are no good to anybody.  So, I fully support President Trump’s policy to give the death penalty to drug dealers.  And to invade Mexican drug cartels where they live with the American military and destroy them from the nest they reside in.  Taking guns away will never solve the problem.  Giving the Mexican people more guns is the direction everyone needs to go.  Ultimately, I think that the real solution to the Mexican problem is to make it a 51st state.  I have no problem making places like Mexico and Canada new states for the United States.  It would be optional of course, they could vote on it, but I think everyone would benefit from the relationship.  But before that, we have to have mass deportations to ship back the illegals and to build a wall to keep the values of the two countries separate.  Mexico is a dangerous place, and it’s run by a bunch of crazy communists and socialists that hide in the background, and they use the drug cartels as their version of a kind of brownshirt army.  Mexico is a mess, and we can’t have an open border with such a hostile country toward American ideas. 

Very, Very True

Mexico is friendly to American tourists as long as everyone stays within the tourist zones.  But if you travel extensively around the country, it’s not uncommon to be pulled over for a shakedown where you have to pay a bribe, be arrested, or even killed.  It happens all the time.  The Mexican government is deeply corrupt, and the drug cartels are even worse.  You can’t travel freely in Mexico like in America, and people should be able to.  The problem in Mexico is a lack of trust in their authority figures to protect people daily.  And it happens often, especially in Cancun; violence happens when rival gangs get into a turf war.  Mexico needs a lot of things that would make a lot of people better if they just became an American state under American law.  The people of Mexico wouldn’t be trying so hard to flee their Marxist governments for the freedom of America at significant cost to themselves.  Mexico could use American law to make their people safer.  And they could use a lot more guns in Mexico to fight back against the drug cartels and their corrupt government.  Between those two oppressive forces, the Mexican people don’t have a chance.  And it’s all been allowed to fester because the global Marxists wanted to overwhelm America with illegal immigration to bring socialism into America through an open border.  So, it’s not just the massive amount of drugs and violence that we are talking about coming from Mexico.  But the most dangerous element of all is political poison to destroy America from within.  So yeah, attacking American gun manufacturers is not the way to go, and 60 Minutes should be ashamed of themselves for even advocating for such a thing when the real problem is the violence that is allowed to happen in Mexico for all kinds of political reasons and the innocent lives that are destroyed in the process.  The best thing for everyone is that Trump gets back in office and gets tough on the drug cartels in ways they have never seen before.  And putting drug dealers to death is a good start.  But more than that, Mexico needs more guns for its private people so they can fight back the way that Americans can.  Private gun ownership and many more guns in Mexico are part of the solution.  And it can’t happen fast enough.

Democrats Tend to Be Bad With Money: The attempt to hide a lack of value behind chaos and emotion

One of the big takeaways when you meet people who have all kinds of psychological problems and tend to lean toward Democrat politics is that they are bad with money.  They don’t understand money, don’t like to talk about money, and tend to have a natural hatred toward people who do have money because of what money represents in the world.  Money is a measure of value; it’s what something means to someone else in an agreed-upon value of exchange.  Then naturally, those who don’t produce much value in the world or are insecure about that value and what people think of it resent money because it exposes them to all their insecurities.  That is why I say that the participants have problems in Democrat politics, which is why they are attracted to forms of collectivism to hide their lack of value from the world behind disguised altruism.  They are broken people who are otherwise detrimental to all existence.  And I don’t say all this to disparage people needlessly, but we have to understand why and how these people have moved into government employment and regulation.  As we move into talks about reducing government employment and the many millions on a government payroll who do too little and get paid way too much, at the heart of the problem is this problem of Democrat politics, the hatred of money, and the desperate effort to use collective services to hide their otherwise worthless, social traits.  Government expansion for the sake of social goalposts rather than the value of a job well done and work performed that people value and want.  The great fear many have about the efforts of D.O.G.E demanding, for instance, that people return to work after years of staying home and getting paid for it has at the heart of it this sense of entitlement that is expensive.  A person exists, and someone needs to pay them for that existence rather than earn their way through life for the value performed that people want.  This makes any government oversight a rejection of people who have decided to be worthless to the world because of their lack of productivity.

You see this kind of thing all the time in business these days, with woke politics and its attempts to embed itself into an American capitalist culture.  Hidden behind the complaints is a genuine desire to conceal their worthless nature.  Companies use money to measure value. In that case, it is that premise that liberalism has used through Democrat politics to hide useless behavior and attempt to disguise it as a value.  For the same reason that Joe Biden is working to sign protection for federal workers before he leaves office, allowing them to stay home under continued employment, by law, the same methodology has been applied to the world of business and attempting to attack profit and loss statements and replace those values with woke compliance.  Once that is the assumed value, all actions that relate to the measurement of money become irrelevant, and it’s not soon after that a company goes bankrupt.  Or at least performing poorly financially.  It has been stunning over these last few years because many of the money haters out there thought things were shifting in their direction to see how many open Marxists have emerged and how much they profess for more government regulation to impose their version of fairness upon the world, that ultimately means, to protect them from value judgments that are traditionally measured in money.  They want more government pay for less work done, and the gig only works if everything takes away the value of money to measure success and replaces those needs with woke politics. 

Karl Marx was always a money-hating despot who wrote his philosophy with an eye toward total social disruption.  And for people who question their value, Marxism gave them a home to hide in from the world in hopes that nobody would notice how lazy and stupid they were.  Karl Marx himself died a very broke person. The only reason his philosophy of communism and, overall, Marxism spread the way it did was that it was a weaponized idea that served the concept of centralized governments.  Over time, these ideas migrated into the human resource departments of most of our companies and their measurement policies of money.  As many scratched their heads about this activity, the attempt was to replace monetary value as a measurement of social compliance scores and to make dog-eat-dog capitalism subservient to fairness measurements imposed by the government for more government expansion.  And under that premise, of course, the government grew in uncomfortable ways and cost too much money to maintain because too many worthless participants were leeching off the system.  That has been my argument about public schools for years. Finally, more people are catching up to it, and we are now having honest conversations about it.  But it wasn’t always that way.  We were told to spend infinite amounts of money on public schools no matter the results because the measurement wasn’t in cash but in creating fairness in the world.  And from there, budgets ran out of control.  Most of the time, when you see a runaway budget, Democrat politics is looming in the background and is seeking to be subsidized by emotional measures to avoid monetary value.

Money has to be the measure to have a healthy relationship with the world.  And everyone should love money for the truth it reveals about people.  And we must have a government that honors and respects money as a measure of value. For instance, the Biden administration is purposely selling off portions of the border wall with Mexico out of spite because Trump is returning to the White House, and they want to make it hard for him to return to building the wall.  The wall itself is a statement of value that people crossing that border are moving from a Marxist government in Mexico to a capitalist government in America, and one is better than the other.  But Marxists want to hide that value measurement from the world with borderless sentiments so that people hopefully won’t notice.  That kind of policy ends up on P&L statements worldwide, slowly destroying everything in the background.  But at the heart of it is a hatred of money because it exposes bankrupt personalities from judgments cast upon them for their worthlessness.  Such people could be given millions of dollars, but they still waste it faster than they get it because they are bottomless pits of destructive personality traits that they attempt to hide from the world through government power and a change in how value is perceived.  In truth, there is only one way to measure value, and money is the agreement among the human race on how to express it across culture and social alliance.  Having a love of money because it measures shared value accurately is healthy and good.  And we must return to it for the good of a productive future.  And not fuel jealousy from those who don’t work hard to be good people and reside behind social policies that point to money as the villain when it’s the other way around.

Elon Musk Has Found His Szechuan Sauce: Turning a One to a Zero

Mar-a-Lago has been the center of American politics, as I said it would be on day one of removing Trump from office in 2021, since then.  And it has replaced the White House as the place to be and do business with America.  But what I never thought would happen would be that I would ever see Elon Musk, the wealthiest person in the world and poised to become the first trillionaire, sitting at the big kid’s table on Thanksgiving with the Trump family, President Trump, Barron, and Melania, dancing to the YMCA song.  I thought it was an extraordinary historical event, maybe one of the most significant events ever, and I have seen many things.  For context, this particular Thanksgiving event had been building all this time, since Trump left office, or was pushed out, and was now culminating into this fantastic celebration where so many improbable things emerged in that wonderful moment captured on video with Trump backslapping Musk like a little boy, or dear old friend and having essentially two of the most powerful men in the world be not rivals with each other, but soul mates, and deep friends who know their place in history, and are happy about it.  These kinds of things never go together, and if Trump had not taken that bullet to the face and lived, this Thanksgiving celebration never would have happened.  It only happens in cases such as when Jesus Christ was killed and came back to have dinner with his disciples, a kind of post-death celebration of eternal life.  This is the best Trump we could have hoped to have gotten, and it came with so many improbable resolutions that the world is uniting around Trump for all the reasons that they were all so wrong.  Suddenly, everything reversed course and swung in the other direction.

As I watched Elon Musk sitting there obviously enjoying his newly adopted father, which is what Trump has become to him over these last few months, I was thinking of a Rick and Morty episode that I like a lot where the character Rick Sanchez destroys the entire Federation Government by changing a 1 to a 0 in their galactic financial markets just because Rick wanted to get the dipping sauce from McDonald’s that was part of a Mulan promotion called Szechuan Sauce.  I don’t know if Elon Musk is the most intelligent person on earth, the way that the character Rick Sanchez is the most intelligent human being in the entire universe.  I have known people like Elon Musk regarding intelligence, and if they turned the mirror just a little bit, they could be just as wealthy.  Those kinds of social measures do not seem to matter to Elon Musk.  To him, money is just a tool so he can build and do extraordinary things.  And for the MAGA movement, he has become the replacement for George Soros, who used to fund all those left-leaning causes.  Elon Musk, after that assassination attempt, admired Trump so much that his brilliant mind was able to see something emerging that he needed in his life, and that was to overthrow the kind of government that was keeping his SpaceX company from doing what it needed to do, and that is to carry humanity to space.  This transformation with Elon Musk is something I pointed out almost two years ago when I saw his book recommendation for Johan Norberg called The Capitalist Manifesto: Why the Global Free Market Will Save the World.  I reviewed that book and pointed out at that time that something compelling was happening when a person like Elon Musk was stepping away from the World Economic Forum and stepping in to open support of global capitalism. 

Everyone disagreed with me, and they wanted to argue about why Trump would never be back in office and that Elon Musk was an asset to China because of his relationship with Tesla, making factories there, and having to dance to the strings of the communist government.  He was also the poster boy for Klaus Schwab at the WEF.  I saw this all happening when I was introduced to Vivek Ramaswamy at an event right before the release of his book, Woke Inc., by the wonderful Nancy Nix, Butler County’s fabulous auditor.  Maybe someday Vivek will tell a story about what we discussed, but even then, it was becoming clear to me where the world was heading, and people with their finger on it, like Trump, Vivek, Musk, and others, were crawling out into the light of day.  Books like Vivek’s and Norberg’s could not be written and not shatter an established order because the only reason that order had power was through deceit.  And now people were talking about these kinds of things.  You never know how little things end up becoming big things.  That’s why you do everything. 

And I was the only one saying that the polls were lying and that Kamala was never ahead.  Only Rasmussen was showing a contrary election that showed that Trump could win.  But I was even more aggressive than them because I looked at a more significant trend that nobody else seemed to see, not even Elon Musk.  But once he did see it, as Trump was nearly assassinated, everything from there just clicked into place, and perhaps the most improbable event in all human history happened on Thanksgiving down at Mar-a-Lago with Musk dancing to the famous YMCA song while sitting next to Trump for Thanksgiving Dinner, 2024.  Musk was happy that he found his Szechuan Sauce.

I know the world will catch up, but nobody will see what has hit them in a few years.  The way all this added up to this Thanksgiving event was a change for the entire human race, and it was so good that it almost made up for all the misery we have experienced over the last 8 years.  The first few years of Trump were great, but we learned many ugly truths about our world and its governments that moved out of conspiracy theory and into observable facts.  It happened fast and will continue to accelerate at a mind-bending pace.  And Musk knows it.  He had been trying to solve this engineering problem: how can you make the human race a space-fairing society?  Well, you have to build a political system that can accommodate it, and first, you have to start with world peace.  How can you do that, support the guy who they were trying to kill, and essentially change a 1 to a 0 and collapse their entire world order so that we can get a colony of over a million people on Mars within a few years?  Musk solved his engineering problem, and he found in Trump precisely what he needed, and he was so happy about it that he hadn’t left Mar-a-Lago since the election of 2024.  While everyone was celebrating, we saw just a glimpse of what the world could be, and it was very positive and happening in such a way that nobody saw it coming.  Except for me, nobody called it the way I did out of all the media markets.  And personally, because of all the grief that I took over everything I had been saying and continue to say, seeing Trump and Musk together on Thanksgiving was the best gift I could have received.  In this case, it’s a gift that keeps on being given.   Musk turned the world from a 1 to a 0.  And I love it!

Why its Great that Elon Musk will be the World’s First Trillionaire: When the rich get richer, everything tends to get better

It had to happen

I personally love wealthy people; most of the people I know well are very rich, and any hatred of them comes from lazy people who have accepted too much Marxism in their lives.  There is freedom that comes from wealth that gives them something very valuable, and I have found that some of the best people in politics are wealthy people who do those jobs without needing to because they don’t use politics to give their names meaning.  They participate in politics because they want to help in some way or another.  However, not all wealthy people are out for the same things.  And given how many billionaires were being led behind George Soros to support progressive, globalist policies, they are a factor in politics that can quickly erode the self-management of a country that doesn’t have significant wealth to express their points of view through a vote.  The Trump people, not just his family, but also people like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who have just been named to lead a branch of government called the Department of Government Efficiency, have a freedom most people don’t have because of their wealth that allows them to be objective on the role government plays in social life, and I trust them a lot more than I do people desperate to live their lives off government work.  I have met Vivek Ramaswamy many times, and one of those times, for the first time, came through an introduction with the Great Nancy Nix, the auditor of Butler County, Ohio, and I was able to hear from him very early in this political process what his motives were.  At that time, he had earned roughly a billion dollars privately as a CEO of several biotech companies, and he wanted to do something to help when he saw trouble forming, so he volunteered to get involved after participating in an event that involved me.   I believe him because of our private conversation even before his book Woke, Inc. was published.  I have watched Elon Musk undergo a process similar to Vivek Ramaswamy over the last few years.

Many government workers are still working from home, a continued Covid policy. If you work from home, your job isn’t needed.

One common thing about people who have a lot of money is that they are rich for a reason, so they tend to make money off changes in social conditions by the nature of investments.  Elon Musk was projected to be the first trillionaire before the election of 2024 when he suddenly became Trump’s best friend.  That is because of the value he created in his companies, not because he is making more money because of the government.  It was widely reported that Elon Musk made 30 billion dollars of net worth one day after the 2024 election, and many are pointing to his role in politics in the closing months of the Trump campaign as the reason.  But that’s not the case.  President Trump went through a similar investment recovery period when he was severely financially strained with prosecutions through many lawfare campaigns against him, and things were looking pretty bleak, even for a billionaire as he has been.  But then his social media platform Truth Social went public and Trump actually gained back much of the wealth that had been stolen from him during this harassment process, gaining a few billion dollars in value.  And that’s why it’s good to have wealthy people on your side in these constitutional debates: they can afford to fight those battles where others just can’t.  And many self-made people are independently rich in this incoming Trump administration, which gives them the freedom to do the hard things because they aren’t making their livings off the government.  They are free of that burden generally.

The method of attack by global Marxists has been to capture the means of production so that people can be controlled by their incomes.  And that has been going on to a large degree and shown itself to be most ugly during the darkest days of the Biden administration.  People were able to see just how dangerous a government run by such people indeed could be, and there were many billionaires committed to Marxism, like George Soros, who have used their wealth as a weapon of social policy.  The same could be said of Larry Fink of BlackRock and his relationship with the Federal Reserve, which has been very unhealthy and destructive.  Fighting these people requires other people with similar or more wealth to even the playing field and preserve a republic form of government that regular people can maintain.  And that is clearly what Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, seeks to do with an alliance with President Trump.  That is a relationship that few saw coming even a year ago.  I was at a lunch in February of 2024 with many progressive people were raving about the new Elon Musk biography they told me I should read and would love it.  They were making a case for why people left of center should be running the world and that Elon Musk would pave the way for that new view of the world.  I read the book and saw a much different person than they did in Elon Musk.  I saw someone trying to solve a complicated problem that few were wrapping their minds around; his problem was, what should a government on Mars look like?  What kind of government on Earth could send people to colonize the solar system?  Early in his public life he did vote left of center, for people like Biden and Obama.  But he had been going through a similar change as Trump and even Vivek Ramaswamy.  And I wasn’t surprised at all that as the election came, he was with Trump on Election Night and had realized that if Trump didn’t win, the human race would regress into Marxism for the foreseeable future, and humanity would never get to Mars. 

So it’s good to have rich people on your side in these political battles.  It takes more than money to win these things, of course.  And I wouldn’t trade my life for any of theirs any day of the week.  Wealth comes in many more forms than just money.  But money is a tool, and it’s good to have people on your side with the right tools to battle.  The fight is to free humanity to the most significant degree from those who want to impress upon ordinary people an aristocracy of value for the sake of a class structure that features the egos of very insecure people.  Logically, people like Elon Musk, and I know from Vivek Ramaswamy, that freedom from normal social conditions through wealth provides a perspective encompassing larger ideals.  I am sure Musk could care less about his money; he isn’t driving around in fancy cars and a loose playboy life.  He wears his Occupy Mars t-shirt and sleeps in a shack, more or less at Boca Chica, Texas, because his goal is much bigger than just making money.  I believe him when he says he will use his personal fortune of over a trillion dollars to get mankind into space, every last dollar of it.  He is totally committed to that endeavor. Yet, as this Trump administration fixes many things that are wrong in the world, they will make a lot more money because they already have investments that will increase as the economy improves.  But that is not what they are after, and I can say that with some personal experience with those types of people.  They would be the first to say that they want to see more people have better lives, and if a good economy can do it, then it would be fantastic.  But whatever it takes to improve the world, Elon Musk, I am convinced he wants to do it for mass society, because once that occurs, humanity will be prepared for the colonization of space.  And through the Trump administration, that is the best path to the kind of government that could sustain a Mars colony, with capitalism fueling the endeavor. 

I didn’t know at the time that this would be a big part of history. I like Vivek!

We Are Fighting A Revolution: Celebrities are finally understanding the Banana Republic that we have already become

Don’t mistake the situation; we are fighting a revolution and nothing short.  A lot of celebrities, like Elon Musk and Mel Gibson, are saying these days that if Trump isn’t re-elected, America will fall into a Banana Republic.  I hate to break it to everyone, but we have been a Banana Republic for several years already.  What has happened is that the pretense of communist thought that has always been lurking in the background on just about everything we do has been realized due to its massive failure.  The only thing that has changed is the blankets most people have been hiding under for most of their lives.  As long as they were living well, they didn’t pay much attention, and they could afford to flirt with left-of-center compassions without truly understanding the impact of those decisions.  So long as we were a rich country, we could flirt with evil temptations as there was food on the table, a nice car to drive, and a school to drop off our children.  That is why after Trump was removed from office right after the 2020 election, I sat down and read to everyone from the pages of Cleon Skousen’s famous book, The Naked Communist, because that was the reality of our condition.  And I wanted people to be comforted by that knowledge because what he had to do was nothing short of a Revolutionary War.  We were being tested, and we were going to have to dig deep and find our resolve to take our country back from these evil people.  It wasn’t that we were going to lose it in future tense.  We had already lost it, past tense. When people seem surprised to learn this, they only indicate that they are just now realizing something that has been a fact for a long time. 

Once the smoke clears from all this, history will remember it as a major revolution, and we can only hope that we can fight and win it with a legalized voting process rather than by force.  If you understand the conditions of the American Revolution, it was a lot like what we are seeing today, except the villain is not just an oppressive English rule over some remote colonies, but globalism and its communist intentions by using China as the model everyone else is supposed to follow.  Even a few months ago, Elon Musk was flirting with left-of-center ideas because he could afford to.  Like many celebrities, especially when they are financially well off, they become socially left of center because they have the luxury of compassion, which is one of the perils of success.  How do you keep the “Eye of the Tiger” attitude at winning in life with a full bank account and the realization that there are a lot of needy people in the world, and it makes you feel good to help them by throwing money at them?  It is more of an exploitation of a human need to belong to other human beings than any practical sentiments that might spawn from the exchange.  When people become successful, they naturally want to share that success with their peers so that they will be liked.  And with America’s prosperity, many people have felt guilty for that success compared to other places in the world that are struggling for the basics.  Left-leaning policies are commonly adapted to cover that gap because people feel they have the luxury of excess to entertain those thoughts. 

But when people don’t feel they have an excess, they quickly turn to themselves and their immediate needs for survival.  And that is what we are seeing now ahead of the 2024 election, and people are saying this time, as opposed to at times in the past, that if President Trump is not re-elected as President of the United States, we will fall into a Banana Republic.   Inflation is high, it’s hard for many people to buy gas and food, and their compassion for left-leaning ideas has eroded quickly from 2020 to 2024.  And I said it then, and I’ll continue to say it: COVID scared people because it was the first time that people saw what I have been warning about for years: the intentions of FEMA camps and having their Constitutional rights wholly taken from them.  And to have their jobs taken away, their president, their entire way of life.  It was very traumatic for many people; then, to add to all that an overt stolen election by invisible hands intending to cash in on all the communism that had been imported into our government structure, people were ready to hear what I had been warning about for decades.  Finally, it was natural for them.  And those communist plots are so well entrenched that they believe that in America, the same kind of communist controls were going to be acceptable, which was the whole strategy behind launching Kamala Harris in the first place as an alternative to Joe Biden.  People are finally seeing behind the skin color tricks and the ridiculous notion of the “first female president” when they see what that means during an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News.  It’s silly to think that anybody expected a closet campaign for President to work and that they would have control of the entire media to shape the story.  But they did; it was all in The Naked Communist by Cleon Skousen from the late 1950s. 

To answer the question about voting, yes, we can have this revolution where America retakes its power back from the globalists.  I have been reviewing President Trump’s books on his previous presidency and looking at all the pictures he has put in those books, such as the best-selling Save America which I think is just extraordinary as a work of art.  There are more pictures from that presidential perspective in Melania Trump’s new book too.  What’s unique about those books is that they give the world a seat at the table about who is running things because Trump met them all and knew them.  And what those pictures capture that the conspiracy theories miss is that the people in the world behind the globalist movement are frail and not very smart, which is why they gravitated to communism in the first place as a refuge to their personal deficiencies.  That is what has come out regarding Kamala Harris, who has now been forced to do interviews and abandon the hiding campaign that worked for Biden during Covid in the previous election.  The people behind globalism are not very smart or sinister once you get into a room with them and get them talking.  They are pretty easy to beat.  Their only real weapon has been concealment.  And now they have lost that.  So now that people have confirmed what has been going on with their country, they are willing to fight for it.  This is good because when President Trump is re-elected after what all these evil people have done to them, the American people will reward Trump with the kind of support he did not have the first time around.  Fundamental, revolutionary changes will be made because they have to be.  There must be penalties for trying to take over a country with communism.  And now that people see the truth for what it has always been, without the rosy lenses of compassion clouding their judgment, people are finally ready to do something about it, not just in supporting President Trump for president, but in helping the actions he will have to take to take back our country from the clutches of global communism.  I would say one of the most significant indicators of all this was how quickly the FAA gave SpaceX their permit after the last round of polling came out to show that Kamala Harris had no path to win the upcoming election, and essentially Elon Musk, the guy they had been punishing with government regulation, was going to be their new boss.  So they better stop with the games and give him a permit.  There are many millions of tyrannies like that which impact most Americans, and it’s time to put them all to an end.  And that end will come whether by vote or by force.  But it will come because people finally see its necessity and are ready for a much-needed change.
