Jim Renacci is the Trump Candidate for Governor in Ohio: The corrupt DeWine counts on the swamp to protect him in a low turnout primary

I know it’s tough. Nobody likes Mike DeWine, the current Governor of Ohio. Even the establishment Republicans who have kissed his ring and endorsed him through the State Central Committee. Everyone I talk to would like to vote for an option, but they think the reality is defined by corruption and that DeWine’s money machine will win in the primary no matter what happens with Jim Renacci. Since the primary is near, I must remind everyone of how it was in 2016 when Trump was on the ticket. All the same, characters were backing John Kasich. He was the establishment guy, the unbeatable goliath. Trump didn’t stand a chance.

Nobody cared because Trump was just an old television celebrity who wrote a few books when I went to events and met Trump. In the political world, that’s how they saw him. What did he know about politics? I would go to VIP events and see seat reservations for all the well-known area Republicans who went unfilled. The people who ended up sitting in those seats were truck drivers, factory workers, and other pick-up truck driving, flag-waving patriots who were there for the same reason I was, to vote for a guy who most represented us, not the Deep State Swamp. Of course, after Trump beat Kasich in Ohio, the political world was shattered, and those empty seats quickly filled with supporters who were nudging in front of me to get a picture with President Trump. I didn’t care. I was happy to see it. Trump brought unity to the Republican Party in ways I had never seen before, and as for John Kasich, he disappeared from the earth quickly. Where is he today? Well, he and Dr. Fauci are likely in a hot tub together someplace hiding from the world, which would be good advice for them.

If the Trump Republicans show up to vote for Jim Renacci in the May primary, DeWine will be defeated. I know the risk is that whoever comes out against DeWine will be remembered. He’s like that. He is a powerful politician not because he is good but because he runs his place in the Republican Party like a mob boss. Get on his bad side, and you’ll find yourself swimming with the fishes. He won’t physically kill you. He’s a shrimpy little man and would be easy to swat away. But he has made up for that over the years with political command of the world around him.   There is a reason Ohio is the first state in corruption among all 50 states. It’s not just the FirstEnergy scandal driven by greenie weenie assaults on Ohio’s power grid; it’s because of how Mike DeWine runs his political circles. Nobody wants to work with Mike DeWine the day after an election where they got caught speaking out against him. It’s a huge risk to their careers. I get it. But just remember, fortune favors the bold, and the way politics is supposed to work is that these politicians work for us, not the other way around. Mike DeWine is number 1 in corruption because of this sentiment. He uses politics to gain power he doesn’t otherwise have, which we saw firsthand during Covid. Mike DeWine ran Ohio during his first term as Governor well to the political left of most Democrats. He runs as a conservative but the minute he wins an office; he legislates to the extreme left. 

I said months ago this was how it would be; all kinds of good Republicans smell the blood in the water and think they can beat DeWine because he’s so weak politically because of how terribly he destroyed people’s lives during the Covid shutdowns. Mike DeWine was just as bad as even the worse of the Blue State governors. In many ways, DeWine led all governors into the shutdown protocols, which opened the door for the massive devastation that occurred to Ohio businesses during Covid. Even more troubling, Mike DeWine asked the legislature for emergency powers a year before Covid happened in 2020.   DeWine has a history of serving the United Nations much more than he does the United States, and he seems to be involved in every Deep State scandal with his ear to the wind. We’ve seen some scary stuff from Mike DeWine during his first term as Governor of Ohio, and we have a chance to remove him and put someone much better in power. Someone much more Trump-like, or even more specifically, like Ron DeSantis of Florida. With Jim Renacci, we have a chance to have a candidate like that. If the Trump supporters show up on primary election day and vote, Mike DeWine wouldn’t have a chance. To me, it’s a low-risk endeavor. But the traditional machine politicians who have thrown themselves behind Mike DeWine know that primaries don’t have typical voters in them. They are the Central Committee types who care about politics seven days a week, not just one time a year or every four years like what we see in popular elections. So for them, voting for Renacci is a gamble many of them can’t afford to lose because it’s all about voter turnout, which they don’t think will be very robust.

Jim Renacci, who I have gotten to know a bit over the years, is the only candidate for Governor in Ohio who can call President Trump any time he wants. Blystone is a good guy in this Governor’s race. And I like Candace Keller and others who want to get involved. But in a tight race, and this is what the DeWine people know, all those challenges are going to split the rebellion vote, meaning the smart money will be left behind DeWine, and the Governor would then win a second term, even though he doesn’t come close to deserving it. DeWine has played this game before. He knows what the other establishment Republicans know, that primary elections are low voter turnout endeavors, and people likely won’t be thinking about Trump. So they will be shy to rally behind Jim Renacci and vote for him in the primary. The actual die-hards who want to see change and reform will split their votes up among the other challengers because none of them could get their act straight before the election, and chaos prevails, giving us more of Mike DeWine. That is how corruption stays in power. That is why we still have Mitch McConnell as the projected leader in the Senate. That is why more people in Congress do not fight to defend our border from illegal immigration. That is why the Swamp just gets deeper and deeper in Washington. In the end, the Swamp is deep because people keep voting for it. The fault ultimately falls on the voters for supporting it in elections like this one. People complain about how corrupt Mike DeWine is and how it would be great to get rid of him. They know that the 20 billion investments from Intel are coming to Ohio despite Mike DeWine, not because of him. Ohio is a great place. It just has had bad, bad governors, from John Kasich to now the extreme leftist from Yellow Springs hippie town, Mike DeWine. And with a perfect alternative right in front of our faces in Jim Renacci, the only Trump candidate on the ballot, the option we have is evident if only we have the guts to take it. 

There is a difference between supporting Trump and being a Trump candidate. I think most of the DeWine challengers are supportive of Trump. But when I first met Jim Renacci, for the very first time, it was coming off Air Force One with President Trump and Melania; the best First Lady America has ever had. Trump had asked Jim to run against Sherrod Brown in the Senate so that Republicans could gain a seat in the Senate. Jim almost beat the long-time progressive. He came very close. And in this case, DeWine is a very weak candidate. He is very weak with the Republican base, so if we are ever going to take down an establishment RINO, this would be the time. For those who want to vote for Trump and want an Ohio version of Ron DeSantis’s style of government, Jim Renacci is that person.   But first, people have to have the guts to show up and vote in the primary, at a time when most people are thinking about spring and summer and aren’t thinking about politics. It starts with voters. If they stay home and allow corruption to gain another term with Mike DeWine, then who is it to blame? Voters have a chance, but do they have the guts to take it? I certainly think it’s worth doing, and I will be voting for Jim Renacci no matter what, with great enthusiasm.

The Nixon Conspiracy: It’s much worse now, assassinate the individual to preserve the Beltway

After reading The Nixon Conspiracy, by Geoff Shepard, coming up on the 50th anniversary of Watergate, it is evident that Richard Nixon was a very good man, an excellent president, and that the world owes him an apology. Shepard in 2018 was able to unseal documents that showed the prosecution’s roadmap against President Nixon, which was presented to the Grand Jury at the time, was 100% a political hit. It took him 50 years of research as an original defense team member to gather all the evidence to show it. You might recall that Hillary Clinton was part of the prosecution as a young person then. This case brewed in Shepard all these years as he has spent his life trying to prove that Nixon was innocent and what he found out was that the prosecution really had nothing in their prosecution road map that was the truth. It turned out to be very similar to the modern-day Russian Dossier that Democrats funded; it was wholly made up and withheld from the defense during the time of the trials that put several Watergate conspirators in jail for a bit, G. Gordon Liddy, Howard Hunt, some ex-CIA Cubans, and John Dean. He later flipped his story to the prosecution angle once he realized that the whole thing was a political hit on Nixon that none of them would survive. The cover-up always answered the pressure from the media and a prosecution that conspired with the judges in the case to abandon all due process, particularly the 5th and 6th amendments, and destroy a popularly picked president.  Nixon wasn’t one of them, he was an outsider, and even Republicans wanted him out. So, they used the system to get him out and bring untold destruction to our country, which has never really recovered. 

This is relevant to our present circumstances because we just watched all this happen to President Trump, except on steroids. We did with the Washington D.C. Beltway culture to empower all the malcontents in the same way Vladimir Putin was empowered after invading Crimea to invade Ukraine presently because nobody had responded to him with force when it happened the first time. Putin crossed the red line, and nobody punched him in the face. So, of course, he made more extensive plans for the future, which we see playing out today. I did read Bill Bar’s new book, One Damn Thing After Another, this week and found it wholly unremarkable except for the revelation of what a Beltway type of person thinks, which is how many of the prosecutors and judges got pulled into the conspiracy against Nixon, then Trump in the context of the three branches of government wanting to assassinate the presidency out of sheer resentment by the type of person the people of the country picked to sit there. Barr has a certain arrogance, a belief that the system is more significant than any individual, and a hatred for what the individual represents to the system they have served their whole lives. But more than that, they hate the people who are individuals out there in flyover country who don’t respect their power in Washington. That, in essence, was what Watergate was all about. After the killing of the Kennedys, a new kind of political hit became the latest fashion. And the playbook was tried out on Nixon. It was successful. So it was then applied for the next 50 years culminating in a four-year period of two impeachments, a phony Russia, Russia, Russia investigation against Trump using the exact same methods. And when none of that worked, they pulled the nuclear option with Covid to change laws and rig the election. Bill Barr clearly knows that’s what happened, but like John Dean before him, Barr altered his story to preserve the system at the expense of the individual. Trump needed to be brought down to protect their system at all costs. 

But that system doesn’t serve the people; it serves the Beltway. And when we elect presidents that they don’t like as the popular majority in the nation under the electoral system, the system has created ways to terminate that action because they control the rules and regulations of our land and in the case of the declassified documents from Watergate unsealed in 2018 finally, we see that the prosecution made up the entire narrative and that Judge John Sirica conspired with the prosecution ahead of all court dates to seal the deal before the deal was ever presented. Only so many years later, after some of these people have died away or retired into oblivion, can we see things clearly. And by now, the media has hammered this story into the public consciousness. When people think of Nixon and the Republicans, they think of corruption. The Washington Post reporters who broke this story with the help of Deep Throat, who drove the narrative in public, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, saw themselves as the fourth branch of government, co-equal. True or not, they would bring down President Nixon and change how the public felt about him. Nixon, a good guy, tried to play fair, but the game wasn’t fair. For him, it was like playing Battleship. The media and the prosecution would send a missile his way, and he blindly had to figure out where it was coming from on the board on the other side. Is it G1 or M24? Eventually, as the impeachment trial kicked into gear in the House, Nixon felt it would be better for America if he resigned. He wasn’t sure if his people had actually screwed up, so he didn’t see any way out of it. He had his share of Bill Barr lawyers telling him to preserve the system at the expense of the individual, so Nixon resigned. He shouldn’t have. He should have fought it out. But that is hindsight talking. He wouldn’t have known just how deeply corrupt the system had been against him. Only 50 years of investigation would reveal that. 

Geoff Shepard has written the most important book on Watergate that has ever been done. All the movies, other books, and countless hours of commentary have been wrong. Just as they turned out to be one-sided against Trump. We are seeing with Watergate assassinations against the people’s right to pick their Executive Office representative. They did it to Nixon. They actually tried to do it with Reagan. Still, after he actually took a bullet from Hinckley in his first term, the Beltway backed off, not wanting to be associated with further public relations issues. Reagan was a skillful actor, and they feared his ability to communicate. But they certainly did it to Bush, who complied like a loser. And Trump was not an option for them; he never was. They were going to teach us all a lesson for voting for him in the first place. And those people are still very much in power. And they won’t give that power up willingly. It will have to be forced from them in very uncomfortable ways. But at least now we know. Geoff Shepard has written the paramount book of the Watergate experience and showed the nation just what a good president Nixon had always been. But the system was too corrupt for him and for the people who picked him. And what we now know is that system is much worse now than it was in Nixon’s day. The corruption now is much, much worse.

‘The Batman’ is an 11 out of 10: The root of all corruption comes from bad parenting

If you are thinking of seeing The Batman at the movie theater, waste no more time doing so. Just go do it. I think the new film in the Batman franchise is one of the best ever, and it’s a top 50 movie of all time, directed by Matt Reeves and acted by Robert Pattinson. Just talking about good movies; they just don’t make them much better than this one, at nearly 3 hours long. Technically it hits all the cylinders in a very satisfying way. The music is great, the cinematography, sound design, direction, acting, everything is fantastic. There is a love for this subject that obviously comes out of the filmmakers. They painstakingly put that love into every shot of the film, and it shows both behind the camera and in front of it. When you think of a movie that has been done so much, it is easy to be skeptical that anything substantial could come out of a new version of Batman. But this was clearly a fresh take on an idea that Warner Bros. has been building for nearly a century. And it culminated in this film. It reminded me of one of my favorite Dirty Harry films from back in the 70s called Magnum Force. It explores corruption on both sides of the law and why there is a need for good people to step in and fight for justice. But there is, of course, more depth to it than that, and that is why this film is an exceptional one with great artistic value for a culture like we have in our modern one in desperate need of clarity on the definitions for existence. There is big stuff in The Batman that is valuable on many levels, and for that reason, I can’t recommend it enough. I’d give it an 11 out of 10 stars. Go see it now!

I’d go further in scale in recommending this movie because there is an underlying element to it that says a lot about modern culture and its failures. This is the best Batman character I’ve ever seen in any form, comics, television show, or movie. At no point in the film does this Batman waiver in his resolution to fight for good and to fight for justice. He is never tempted or shoved over the edge, only to be redeemed later. He is solid throughout the entire film, and in the end, he becomes a great leader instead of a hiding recluse. Coming out of the Covid years, there is a lot that this film has to say about the state of our world. And this is not a Hollywood progressive offering of nonsense. It’s an honest story examining real human issues, and as Batman faces those issues, he is a solid pillar of virtue through the entire event. Apparently, they are planning to make three of these Batman movies, and if they put the kind of effort into the following two as they did this one, I can’t imagine what that will look like. The amount of work it took to make this The Batman movie is on a big scale that it would be hard to duplicate, ever. The focus on all the little details is overwhelming. This is Hollywood at its best. It’s just a shame that we can’t get more films like this from an industry that has turned so radically left politically. I would not say that this Batman film is political in the way of Republicans and Democrats, but it does explore in detail the cause of all corruption and gets into the weeds in a better way than even the best of the mobster films ever produced. In many ways, I kept thinking of Scarface from the 80s as a comparative film to what they pulled off with The Batman. 

Yet, the best part of The Batman is that it honestly explores the nature of evil and what leads to all corruption, and that is when the adults let kids down. Parents’ impact on children is a real, unexplored problem in our modern society. Governments have even attempted to replace the parents in society with government supervision, which has worsened the situation. We now have a culture in real life that has produced millions and millions of villains like the Riddler in this movie, the primary bad guy. But I found myself understanding the Riddler quite a lot.   Who could blame him for his anger when the world he sees is so corrupt, and all the parental figures in his life were robbed away from him? The constant theme in The Batman is the cost to young people when adults let them down. When dad runs off with a cheap whore. Or when the District Attorney spends the night in a risqué club instead of staying home with the kid’s doing cocaine with young women draped from his arms. When kingpin fathers manipulate the entire police force and have illegitimate children all over the place, leaving those kids to feel abandoned and broken as adults. The real villains in The Batman are the parents who fell short and left their children without something to hold on to, turning them into adults, broken and vengeful.   What is the cause of all crime and corruption, bad parenting? As I sat watching the movie, I looked around at the glassy eyes of the parents taking their kids to see this film.   Could the parents relate to the good guys or the bad guys? Or was it just too much for them?

I understood Batman and the Riddler. At the end of the film, I loved the question, which was the same posed to Clint Eastwood in Magnum Force. Who is good, and who is bad?   What does it mean to fight for what’s good when most of what’s going on in the world are so bad? Is any of it worth fighting for at all? Should we just leave the world and head for the country as Catwoman did at the end, warning Batman that his fight for justice would likely kill him? And when Batman said to her that he had to try to save the city, it’s the same things we are now saying about our country. Is it worth saving? Should we fight at all, given all the corruption that we see? It’s a worthy question, one that we are all asking in our own specific ways. These are complicated things to think about, but this movie, The Batman, has a definitive statement on it, and I think it’s a great definition that will take time for many to let wash over them. This is a movie worth seeing for more than entertainment. It’s what families should watch together and figure out their place after that where they fit into the puzzle. And hopefully, in the end, the resolution is that they’ll want to be more like Batman than the other characters.   And parents will want to be good role models for their kids instead of just the lately louse that fills the halls of corruption in almost every institution created by mankind. Despite the enormous responsibility it requires to bring children into the world, it is worth doing. But the job only gets more complicated the older they get, and if there is a lesson in the movie, The Batman, failing in that job can lead to all the corruption we see in Gotham City and the greater world in general.

Populism is the Weakness of Davos: The Fed has sold us all out, and now we have to rethink how much power they should have

As scary as it is, we’ve been here before in America. We can survive this, even as we learn of the sinister forces that have embedded themselves into our government and are presently threatening the world and everyone in it. I will admit reading Christopher Leonard’s Lords of Easy Money opened my eyes to a terrible menace at the Federal Reserve. I am thankful that there are people like Thomas Hoenig out there who was the star of that book and were soft “Rs” on the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) as the bank president of Kansas, who was during a reckless period of quantitative easing was the only dissenting vote on the 12 person committee. If all twelve members of the FOMC were like him, I would say that the Federal Reserve would do what it was supposed to do, which is manage the value of the American dollar in a proper way with the world. But, when members of that FOMC are extreme liberals or overly educated in Keynesian economics like Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen, then the propensity for trouble and eventual scandal is all too tempting and justifies everything that President Andrew Jackson feared about central banking in America. And for that matter, this argument goes back to a significant dispute between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton wanted a strong central government, whereas Jefferson was the king of the Anti-Federalist position against them. Time has only proven Jefferson and Jackson correct about them. And today, we find ourselves in precisely the reason why they were so dangerous. Our current Fed has created an exacerbated “monied aristocracy” that has sold out our country to globalism and is a significant problem. If not for Hoenig’s dissenting votes, we might not know how bad it is. If not for those decisions, for finance reporters like Christopher Leonard, a liberal, he may not have been drawn to this story, which probably nobody thought would ever see the light of day. But because he did, we know that the Fed has created a massive asset bubble that has opened the door to major foreign influence and set us up in a vulnerable way to the Party of Davos, where Larry Fink directly has been the bridge that has connected them all, the Party of Davos, the Fed, China, and progressive woke politics pressed directly into all our lives in a very destructive way. 

Knowing all that, of course, people are worried. They think it’s all too late, that we’ve all been sold out, and that it’s over for America. But fortunately, this is an old argument in America, and we know how it can end because President Jackson showed us how to go about this. The amount of dollars involved is much more significant today than it was in 1828, but the concept is the same. Should there be a central bank running the money of America? Can it run correctly? And what are the dangers of a Federal Reserve getting out of control to where they no longer represent ordinary people but fall under the supervision of a foreign entity like the Party of Davos, where Larry Fink sits on the Board of Trustees at the World Economic Forum. When people talk about the “elite,” they are talking about these types of people, people who control the money supply and its value. Most people glaze over when talking about money. They just want to know that the money they earn can buy them a tank of gas or lunch. They don’t like the meetings in Jackson Hole, where the FOMC meets yearly and geeks out over finance talk. I personally find it all fascinating. I follow the meetings in Jackson Hole, which is where I bought my new Stetson cowboy hat, the white one I have been wearing everywhere these days. I like Jackson Hole, Wyoming, because many important things happen there, and it’s a very nice town. I don’t have a problem with the Fed as long as all the members of the FOMC are like Thomas Hoenig. Actually, I’d want them to be more conservative than him. I think we need a way to manage our money. But we must always watch the kind of people who are in charge of our money. I don’t expect it to be a perfect system. But I don’t expect the Fed to sell us all out as this modern Fed has. And for the monied class to use those mistakes to destroy our country was always the worry. Jackson and Jefferson were right from the beginning.

Ultimately, I think the fix at the minimum due to our current problem will be much more painful than what the country went through when Jackson was president. There will be lots of pain resulting from the Fed’s coming out and the eventual collapse of the asset bubble they have created. The Party of Davos has bet everything on this monied class sell-out by our current Washington D.C. culture. It doesn’t take much imagination to trace everything regarding election fraud, Covid, and the constant press attacks on Trump, the two impeachments, and investigations on the criminals who have been built off these artificially created asset bubbles. Suppose you peel back the curtain on Hillary Clinton’s Durham revelations, or the Biden laptop, or the FBI falling under control of the disptribution of budget money, or the Department of Defense activism into global affairs. In all those cases, you will find at the root of that Hydra of Evil the trillions and trillions of dollars the Fed printed out of thin air that allowed Wall Street to sell as assets to investors in a scam that will prove to be the most significant corruption case in world history. I would advise everyone to cash out their 401k plans now before the bubble bursts because it will. It has to. And the Party of Davos people are hoping that there is some major war in the world that can divert people’s eyes from the matter before they figure it out. Put this statement on your calendars, the Wall Street investment managers could not afford a second Trump term, and now that they know one is coming anyway, they are scrambling in panic. Their sell-out of our country is going to be noticed. 

But for everyone else, they can rest assured that the weakness of the Party of Davos people, people like Larry Fink, who we all have to deal with in some way or another, whether through our investment portfolios or our companies where BlackRock representatives have taken control of management, the biggest fear they have is in the rise of populism, just as it was in Jackson’s day. Trump is a populist, and populism is rising worldwide in reaction to what people see. They may not understand how dangerous this current Federal Reserve asset bubble is to the American economy, and thus, to the rest of the world. But they know that the mysterious “elites” are up to no good, and they instinctively know to be skeptical of them. I don’t think of those people as “elite.” I don’t even think of them as being smart. I know that the Fed doesn’t control the American economy. But the Fed and the government itself are terrified of losing control of their “monied class” in the Beltway. Ultimately, when we talk about draining the swamp, we are talking about taking control of our money from the centralized planners. We will survive that exchange. But they likely won’t, and as they go down in flames, they are going to scream and protest. It will be ugly, but the pain will be felt by those who have made their livings stealing our wealth and using it for their own means.

In populism, the people who actually do all the work will be empowered. And as we deal with the current crises and look forward to Trump being the president again in 2024, while on Biden’s watch, the Fed needs to have its collapse. Larry Fink needs to be shown for the fraud he is, and the Party of Davos needs to have their hands cut off from our money supply which they are using to invoke the world into their domination. It’s time to take our country back, starting with reform at the Fed, with an audit at the very least. And possibly, a complete reconstruction of how we manage the value of our dollar. The members of the FOMC are obviously not able to fight off corruption, and it’s time we start there in properly reforming our country with an American First policy that is defined by our money. And to Hell with the bandits who have been caught trying to rob it.

Foreign Power Attacks Ohio’s Energy Grid: The Real story of corruption behind FirstEnergy, The Fed and Mike DeWine

ESG scores (Environmental Social Governance) are for business what CRT (Critical Race Theory) has been for public schools. Once parents found out what the game was in sliding CRT under the door and trying to program their children into outright Marxism using race as the mask, they became enraged and have started the process of retaking control of their public schools. Businesspeople, too are on the cusp of a similar necessity. That is why I have never accepted the FirstEnergy scandal as being what the FBI tried to paint it as. Over the summer of 2021, I watched pretty enraged at a press conference the Ohio FBI had boasting that they had received a settlement from FirstEnergy over a bribery scandal they had been investigating, which involved the Speaker of the GOP House, Larry Householder, and many others. It was a story that put Ohio in the number 1 state for corruption in the entire United States, and Governor Mike DeWine was right in the center of it. The FBI proudly bloviated that FirstEnergy settled the case with $230 million, which they indicated was an admission of guilt. The story for me was always about a much more sinister kind of corruption, one that actually points to ESG scores and environmental wacko policies that are an attack on our infrastructure in America from foreign interests. In this case, it all points back to the Party of Davos, the billionaire types who attack countries without a country of their own and seek to impose politics on those countries that bypass their elections domestically. What these finance companies like BlackRock, Blackstone, and Icahn Capital were doing to the nuclear power capability in Ohio was no different than if a country like China had attacked them with missiles and planes to take them out and destroy our power grid. And here was the FBI helping them do it. And the money for all the power leverage came straight out of the American Federal Reserve, created by Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, and Jerome Powell over a ten-year period to put money behind ESG rankings to impose climate change politics on us all.

After that FBI press conference, around December of 2021, Blackstone bought up 1 billion dollars in stock, which will put yet another activist investment board member on the Board of Directors at FirstEnergy, which will continue to direct the company toward a zero-emission world, to get their ESG scores at the targeted range. Back in 2019, when this ESG imposition was just becoming a practice, the management of FirstEnergy thought the regulatory burdens were ridiculous as these money management firms were pushing them to implement zero-emission standards. Of course, these requirements come from the United Nations, which are driven by the World Economic Forum, which sets them with Al Gore, Klaus Schwab, and the BlackRock CEO himself, Larry Fink. These are extreme left-wing wackos who wouldn’t get the time of day in a political theater, but when they tie themselves to our money, now suddenly they have all the power in the world. And it is through those methods, FirstEnergy was imposed upon through ESG scores to move their coal and nuclear plants to zero emissions by a ridiculously impossible deadline, which would essentially shut them down. FirstEnergy tried to fight back; they funneled $61 million in donations to the GOP through Larry Householder to protect them from these United Nations standards reflected in the ESG means of measurement. The GOP created House Bill 6 to roll back some of the environmental burdens that were killing companies like FirstEnergy. Suddenly the FBI was busting members of the GOP, but not these radical investment firms connected to the United Nations and the World Economic Forum. They were clearly attacking the American power grid to destroy coal and nuclear and replace them with wind and solar. 

Many of my friends in the House and Senate in Columbus wanted to distance themselves from Larry Householder as he was strung up and ran from his seat. It looked like dirty politics to me, and internal power struggles between Householder and Governor DeWine. But some of the other people who took money from FirstEnergy were never-Trumper types leftover from John Kasich, so there wasn’t much of a desire to fight to defend them in public. But the issue continued to bother me. That year of 2021, my wife and I traveled extensively in the West, everywhere from southern New Mexico and Texas to Montana all the way out to Utah and Idaho. I wanted to get away and think about some of these big things clearly. And during that trip, I saw what many truckers have been talking about, the changes to our country that were happening, with these giant wind farms, everywhere, from Iowa to Texas and everywhere in between. This wind power thing was much more advanced than I had been led to believe. In fact, at the Iowa 80 Truckstop, the largest of its kind in the world, I had a chance to see up close the trucks bringing these massive wind turbine blades to their construction sites. This was an enormous project that was going on everywhere, yet not much discussion was happening about it on the news. How was all this happening? Indeed, Americans weren’t imposing this on themselves. 

Doing a lot of research from then until now, it’s quite clear what has been happening. These wind power farms were not coming from the people of America but from energy companies and states seeking better ESG scores to stay compliant with their shareholders, like Blackstone, Icahn Capital, and of course, BlackRock. And the rate of manufacturing has been consistent with all the money the Fed has been printing through quantitative easing over the last decade, creating a dangerous asset bubble that directly contributed to the rise in power of these money management firms. The leverage and power these gained in managed resources, which allowed them to buy all these stock options, to start controlling these companies at the level of the Board of Directors, came directly from the inflated wealth the Federal Reserve created through their ZIRP policies and quantitative easing. Otherwise, BlackRock would have never had the financial leverage to impose these ESG scores on all these companies. And how convenient was it for Blackstone to buy up $1 billion in stock after the settlement story broke about FirstEnergy driving the price down. And guess who pushed FirstEnergy to settle the case, Icahn Capital. 

So as everyone can see, the story is much more sinister than an Ohio energy company trying to prevent itself from being put out of business by ESG politics that come not from the American government but from the United Nations and the Party of Davos. They sought help from the GOP-controlled House because it was their only option. But obviously, the game was rigged against them from the start. And now we see too late that the United Nations fully intends to close down all coal and nuclear power plants in the country and switch us all over to these solar and wind options. We know from California wind and solar alone is not sufficient for the power needs of our economy. But for the enemies of America, that is kind of the point. These finance companies taking control of these Boards in companies all across America over ESG scores are not on an America First agenda. They seek a zero-emission world and massive wealth redistribution from rich countries to poor ones, where they have already leveraged their financial bets. And we have been the pawns in the game because we have let this attack happen, unchecked completely. 

The actions we can take immediately is to understand how ESG policies became part of our SEC rules, at the Federal and State levels.   Because those rules are directly attacking our business infrastructure from elements outside our county.  We need to remove those ESG policies, legislatively.  From there, we need to stop our Fed from funding Wall Street so that an open door to foreign investment can flow money into the backdoor of our country and buy our political system behind our backs destroying our vote through finance and attacking the very heart of our republic without a single shot fired by military aggression.  Make no mistake about it, it’s a war just the same.

I Have Been Warning about Hillary Clinton Since the 90s: When people say, “you’d do it too,” they haven’t met my wife

Well, I’ve been saying it since the 90s. Then like now, I read every book that came out talking about the Clintons on their climbs up power, the land deals, the body bags, the stories of horror in the White House, and I warned about Hillary Clinton most of my adult life. Of course, people would say that it was too inconvenient to know the truth, that Bill and Hillary Clinton were no big deal. After all, it’s just sex, and it’s between them. If Bill Clinton wants to sleep around and Hillary wants to put up with it. Who are we to judge? If I had a dime for every time someone has told me that, I’d have all the money in the world. Well, now, finally, people are getting an idea of what I was always talking about. We have finally learned with specific confirmation coming out of the Durham Report that Hillary Clinton planted evidence on Trump both before and during his presidency, which of course, is against the law in many ways. Everything I have said here, and many others too, about Hillary Clinton, has been true, and it has taken this long for it all to catch up to her. And even that, the release of the information indeed came from the Biden administration, who see her as a threat now that she’s been poking her head up out of the ground recently, as she smells blood in the water for the Biden administration. She has been out there talking, feeling the temperature of things, and the Biden administration provided this little leak from the DOJ to get her off Biden’s heels. This report should have come out years ago, but like everything else, it’s political. Everyone knows about it, but nobody will admit to it in the light of day until there is some political motivation to get the information out. The same will be true, as I have said from the beginning, about the election fraud of 2020. The truth will come out when it’s politically to the advantage of those most guilty. Until then, there will be a cover-up literally until the day they die.

I had worked on the Ross Perot campaign back in the 90s, and I supported Bob Dole in an active way when he was running for president, even though I was in my 20s at the time. I’ve been warning about this stuff and fighting this kind of thing that Hillary is guilty of my entire adult life. And I said back then, as I continue to say, a lot of the reason we have such a messed up political system now is that we did not crack down on these bad people back when we first knew they were dirty. My wife and I have lived our lives in such a way that we’ve had lots and lots of opportunities to join some of these characters in a life of corruption. We’ve met lots of celebrities and had opportunities for many millions of dollars in our bank account just to get in the mud and not be a threat to those who craved power so they could become rich off it. A few weeks ago, I had just such an opportunity, which was a higher offer than average. Still, it was essentially a seven-figure deal to effectively go away, to stop writing the blog, to just disappear into the background, and to stop talking. I can think of dozens and dozens of similar offers over my thirty years, and for people who think I’m a ridiculously shiny penny, they haven’t met my wife. She is far, far, worse than I am. This story about Hillary and her husband Bill and many others who have enriched themselves in politics ultimately points out a contrast that I have heard all this time, “well, who could blame them? You’d do it too.” Well, “NO,” we all wouldn’t. Some people don’t and won’t, and my wife and I are certainly a couple who haven’t. It’s not that there weren’t opportunities. But when we see and hear stories about people like the Clintons, we get outraged because we see them as scum bag criminals who sold out and lived their entire lives as sellouts. And we feel the same way about anybody who sells themselves short of using politics to enrich themselves at the expense of law and order. 

Recently my wife and I were at a VIP thing, and Newt Gingrich was there. It was a private setting, and there weren’t many people around. Usually, all the participants are slick at these things; they know how to play chess and have many layers of personality where their true feelings can be hard to understand. My wife is not one of those people; she is one way, all the time. She is as pure and ideological as Snow White, and it’s not fake. She’s like that 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for many, many decades now. She is the least corruptible person I have ever met, and she’s too far into it to change now. At one point, it was just Newt and I talking a bit, and I asked my wife to step over and to introduce her to the former Speaker of the House. Newt is one of those celebrity politicians known worldwide, so most people would be a bit in awe upon meeting such a person in such a personal setting, shake their hand, and have private time with them. Well, she refused to come over. Here she was just two or three feet from Gingrich, but she wouldn’t acknowledge him. He reached out his hand to shake hers, but she wouldn’t budge, which left me in an awkward position. She looked at me, not him, and said, he sold us out by not prosecuting the Clintons when he had a chance, and look what they’ve done to this country. And she walked off. That left me there to explain to Newt Gingrich that she was a purest in every form of the word, and she has not gotten over the events of the 90s. He was good about it and simply said that history is always 20/20. In many ways, she was right, Newt did have a chance with Bob Dole to crack down on the Clinton crime family, and the failure to do it then made it far worse in the future. And of course, we see that impact now, and even now, only when it’s politically convenient.

The point is, not everyone sells out to the money and the fame. Many of the characters I’ll be talking about this year as we pave the way for the next Trump run for the presidency deserve what they have coming. I have been holding back as I gather up my thoughts, but I’ll just say this. I’m not going to sit at the breakfast table with that woman and listen to her go on and on for hours about corruption that could have been fixed twenty or thirty years from now, that went on during the government removal of Trump from the White House. Those most guilty in what they did need to pay, just as the Clintons should have paid with jail time in the 90s for what they did. Because we let them stick around all this time without justice, we get what we have now, a terribly corrupt political system that is in significant need of a massive overhaul.   Personally, I do look down my nose at people who will do anything for fame and do so at any price. I haven’t lived my life that way, so when Hillary, Bill, or the Bidens make decisions that sell out our country, our Constitution just for some easy cash and hide their crimes along the way for the cover-up, I have no sympathy. Zero. But it is nice to point to something and say, “see,” you should have listened. I’m not surprised by what the Durham Report is saying with factual evidence about Hillary Clinton now. People are shocked, but I’m not. However, I am more interested in everything they haven’t told us about yet. Because in my experience, there is a lot, more than people are ready to deal with. But despite all the efforts of these political criminals, that information is getting out anyway, and it is better to act sooner rather than later.

Mitch McConnell and His “Conceal the Steal”: Caught ‘Red Handed’ selling out to communist China

With both Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell recently coming out as a way of justifying the focus of making January 6th into a big deal, when in fact, the real causes of the problem were ignored entirely, one of them is much worse than the other. With Pence, it’s quite evident that he is naïve and wants to believe in the political system, and to him, a challenge to that system is disruptive. His support of the “conceal of the steal” of the 2020 election is similar to how he might react to people questioning scenes from the Bible. He certainly doesn’t have the mind to think critically about matters of faith, and he wants to have confidence in our government. It’s beyond comprehension for him to consider just how broken our government is. But McConnell, on the other hand, started his time in the senate with a new marriage to Elaine Chao, working with her father James in a shipbuilding business that the Chinese State Shipbuilding Corporation contributed directly to the family shipping business, where its fleet expanded incredibly over the next several decades. Elaine’s father had been classmates with the president of China at the time, Jiang Zemin. We are talking about a marriage of connections here, where the purpose of the union was power and control. James wanted to secure his shipping business. His daughter married an American senator, and China’s leadership wanted very much to get a foot in the door of American politics at the highest levels for their own strategic needs. The old crow, McConnell, knows how the game works and how all this Chinese business evolved over time, with him at the center of it. When Trump lost the election due specifically to political corruption allowing the steal to occur, which is now well documented, Mitch knows he’s lying when he says the “election was legally certified and fair.” No, instead, Mitch played his part in crippling America to protect the family business, which was at the center of his marriage to Elaine. They wanted to get rid of Trump as much as everyone else in Washington D.C. wanted, for all the same reasons because they had sold out their country and empowered China to take over America by selling us all out for easy cash.

Peter Schweizer’s new book is easy to get, called Red Handed. I bought my copy off a big stack at Costco, so it’s not like it’s a massive book from a fringe right-winged conspiracy.   Peter is president of the Government Accountability Institute in Washington D.C. and has a staff of researchers looking into everything he reported in that fantastic book. I’ve read all of Peter’s books over the years, many times. And I’ve already read this new one many times over now, and let me just say; it’s got the goods. Schweizer does what the First Amendment was meant to do and allows freedom of speech to keep pressure on the political class to check power at the door. The result is books like Red Handed, which goes into vast details on the level of corruption that people like Mitch McConnell, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerbucks, Labron James, and the Biden crime family have conducted in direct relationship with China, our known enemy. When Mitch McConnell started his relationship with China, it was widely viewed that the communist country might become more like America. But over time, they have stated quite bluntly that they intend to destroy the West and resurrect their status in the world as the dominating global power. And they intend to bring down America by cutting off the head of what they think our leadership is and destroying the country from within. All that is documented with evidence in Peter’s book. All that and much more. There simply is no excuse for people not to know this information as easily as Schweizer has made it for people to see. It’s not like people have to go to a library somewhere to do all this research on their own. It’s available next to the eggs and milk at one of the most popular shopping destinations in the country. Read it, and yes, it will shock you. Buy one and give it to all your family and friends. Buy several copies. You might just save their lives. 

But McConnell knows everything that’s happening in Washington. He doesn’t have to read Peter’s book; he could have written the book himself. When McConnell participated in the election fraud of 2020 by trying to rush the process through, he was simply protecting what he had built over many decades of corrupt politics. He didn’t go out and marry a nice girl from Kentucky. Without question, there was plenty to choose from. No, he married Elaine, whose father just so happened to be friends with the president of China at the time and knew they wanted to use him for the family business. He was a willing participant in that corruption, and he is more than guilty of suppressing the intentions of the Chinese government at the expense of his own country. Like many in Washington and within the media have done, they have made their deals with the communists who gave away wealth easily for the partnership. Mitch married his second wife, knowing how things work in Washington; it’s about connecting people who have gained power through looted wealth. Elaine was in banking, and moving finance meant power in the Swamp, so he got into the family business fully awake, which has undoubtedly impacted the way he governs. Understandably, when Trump was in the White House, he put Mitch’s wife in his cabinet as Transportation Secretary to align the power couple to his administration. But behind the scenes, the two would plot against Trump at every turn that would make Shakespeare blush. 

When Mitch could have stood for election integrity, or even the origins of Covid, he has punted every time in obvious protection of China and its relationship with Beltway politics. Not only does he know about all the scams he’s been involved in, but he knows about all the others as well. He is fully aware of just how deep the Chinese communist party is entangled with his fellow senators, lobbyists, and media members, and he has done nothing about it. That’s because he can’t because if he did, all those ships that were built for his father-in-law would suddenly be called into question. They weren’t free; they came with a price tag. And that price tag was to put his daughter in the bed of a powerful senator, give him a little of the cheese, and shut him up for the rest of his life, which has been the case. And when McConnell had a chance to stick a knife in Trump’s back, he did so, not for political ideology, but for the protection of the system that made him rich and more powerful. In a world where that kind of power is valued, Mitch McConnell put himself at the top by selling out to China. And even if he wanted to be critical of China now, he couldn’t because he has gone too far with them and seen too much. When we want to know what corruption politics is, Mitch McConnell is the face of it. And when he said that the 2020 election was “legally certified,” what he really means is that he was in on the “steal to conceal” because what they had to protect was all this vast corruption that they had involved themselves in to sell us all out, to the enemy. China.

The Legacy of Mike Pence: Now more people will be hurt in order to win our country back

A little note to Mike Pence after his ridiculous comments recently about his role in certifying the illegal election of 2020, you are not a good guy if you allow evil to grow. He did not stand for truth and justice in his role as the Vice President; instead, he punted to the process of certifying an illegal election knowing that the real issue was a process crime, and he simply did not dare to do what needed to be done when it needed to be done. Instead, he tried to justify his actions by saying that we’ll win next time, and when we do, Kamala Harris and whoever else will have to accept our results, as if this was a story about the “high road.” The election of 2020 was “certified” because the people involved in the vote count wanted to run out the clock on the legal system and get Trump out of office before anybody could check the results. It’s like a football game where there was a questionable play, and the team with the ball seeks to run the next play before the opposing coach can throw a challenge flag. In the world of Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell, the integrity of the process is more important than the results, so they weren’t going to do anything to bring that process into question, even though at the time, the questions were already starting to stack up. Now, over a year later, it’s obvious there was election fraud. The evidence is pouring forth in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Additionally, it’s getting hot in states that haven’t been discussed much, such as Colorado, Nevada, and even California. There was so much election fraud that the only responsible thing to do would have been to kick the certification process back to the states, as Pence was required to do, and make those states work out their issues right then and there, instead of dragging the country through the garbage we are seeing now. 

Just by reading the book Red Handed, which is newly out and on the best sellers list, it becomes clear quickly why so many politicians on both sides of the House and Senate wanted to see Biden elected and Trump out. They had all taken lots of money from China, and they were guilty of selling out their country. And the only way they were going to get away with it was to have Biden in the White House. That’s undoubtedly why Mitch McConnell was in such a hurry to certify the election. Those politicians who took money from China, and have been dancing to the tune of Blackrock, needed to keep the political system intact that allowed them to make that kind of money, and once they had the money in their bank accounts, they had to preserve that system. It’s a huge problem, probably the biggest problem we have ever faced in our country, and it has become this way because nobody wanted to deal with the reality of the vast amounts of corruption that was on full display. The book Red Handed lays the case out elaborately; there really is no question about the intent of the crimes. And there is no excuse not to get Red Handed and to read it. They have stacks and stacks of them at Cosco. It’s easy to get. Then, of course, knowing that it’s clear why they all signed up to conduct election fraud under “emergency Covid rules,” and that was to cover up the money they had taken from a hostile foreign nation. It was clear at the time, but in hindsight, as we have now the privilege, it was the crime of the century, and Pence had it in his power to stop it with his vote, but he didn’t have the guts to stand up to evil when it fully showed itself.

Pence has said that “no one person has the right to overturn the results of an election,” speaking of himself, of course. However, there were no legal results of the election to certify; the count that was presented that day was a mere formality and nothing more. The content was corrupt and faulty as it was delivered. And everyone who turned away from justice when it was under their guard to take action is guilty of perpetuating further crime against our country and the people in it, especially in the judicial system. When it mattered most, none of them had the stomach to stand up to what was happening because they thought the election would be certified, and people would forget about it. They felt that because of the bubble they live in. If they knew the people who lived in the country and voted all across America, they would have known that deep anger was forming, and there would be no way to repair it. Pence tried to justify his punt that day with an eye to the future, to elections where all this will be corrected in 2024, and that by taking the high road, the Democrats would be forced to do the same. Pence should know better coming from the Trump White House. He knows how things are behind the scenes. But he’s like the preacher in a train robbery telling everyone to do what the robbers are telling the occupants, just put up your hands and give the thieves what they want, so nobody gets hurt. In the world of Mike Pence, that is the way to fight evil, to yield to it so we can live another day. But in actuality, when evil presents itself, however inconvenient, we must fight it then and there, so it doesn’t grow and become emboldened like we are seeing now a year later from a government obviously not doing the work of voters but the work of the Davos Party and their Chinese insurgents intent on world domination.   Mitch and the gang are not working for the American people, that’s for sure. 

For Pence to double down on his actions that day, when he punted the illegal 2020 vote to certification, he allowed the pressure of the SWAMP to entice evil to continue its malice. He foolishly believed that Republicans would win in the end by taking the high ground. If there was anything that Trump did more wrong in his first term, it was trying to bring hostile never Trump types into his administration like Pence, Nikki Haley, and McConnell’s Chinese wife, hoping to win them over as all executives do. Keep your enemies close. But in Washington D.C., that was where the leaks came from and the undercutting. Trump rightly figured he was a big enough personality to overcome all those antics, and with that arrangement, Pence was a decent Vice-President, that is, until real courage was needed. And in the end, that is what allowed the election fraud to occur was that too many people in D.C. wanted to preserve the system that enriched them so heavily. Trump was a threat to that system, and they thought that by getting rid of him, people would fall in line and forget about all this “draining the swamp” business. And Pence thought it was the good Christian thing to trust in the law, in the lord, and of fate to sort out evil from the good. But what was needed was for people to stand up to evil and fight corruption where it showed itself. When it mattered most for Mike Pence, he punted like a coward, and now we have in the world what we have, evil more committed than ever, and to beat them now, many, many more people will end up hurt. That is the legacy of Mike Pence.

‘Red Handed’: America can’t be decapitated by China, but corruption has been exposed

In the video above, I told a story about a recent event where I was offered a lot of money to do a job, about 10X more than my present rate. Yet to do that job, I would have to give up many things that I do every day, which make up essential parts of my character. So, of course, I turned down the offer, even though it would have been well in the seven figures. I would not say that the proposal was one rooted in corruption. In this case, a very hungry CEO needed some challenging problems solved, which I specialize in. A unique skill set, of course, has a value all its own. But it was in a market that I often criticize, and to do a job in that realm, I would have to give that up, which I’m not willing to do. Not for any amount of money in the world. In fact, with me, there are many things that I do every day that I enjoy, and there simply is no amount of money that could be offered to me to give any of them up. I’ve been like that all of my life, and I will remain that way. I get offers like that all the time, not always that big, but every couple of years, those opportunities come up, and I always say the same thing. I’m not telling that little story for a cookie or anything, but only in context to what I have to say about Peter Schweizer’s new book, Red Handed, where he spills the goods on the money machine of Washington D.C. culture and exposes clearly that China has purchased the ethics of many of our politicians all to destroy our nation. The best thing about not taking offers, as I mentioned, is that I am one of the few people who can really criticize corrupt political behavior. Because apparently, by the narrative of Peter’s book, nobody else is functioning from any kind of ethics or moral code, and it shows in the end product.

China has one primary goal: to destroy the West, what they consider western civilization. They mean to destroy us culturally and, of course, economically, and they have been very aggressive in their methods of doing so. They have not been shy about this stated goal; they feel empowered because they have been able to throw money at so many in our political class, and within our business climates, they have no respect for us. They think all American’s will do anything for money so they can purchase our ethics with endless amounts of money. They believe they can buy corruption. So, of course, they hated President Trump, because as a wealthy person, he didn’t need their money, and he was free to function on his own accord. That was why China and many others in the world who plotted against America wanted to do anything to get rid of Trump, including their participation in election fraud. Money bought a lot of silence when the act of election fraud occurred, and it also bought a lot of misdirection until the evidence simply outpaced the purchased opinions of “there is no evidence of election fraud, 2020 was a free and fairly certified election. Trump is trying to overturn our Democracy!” That’s China talking and all the money that has been stuffed in the pockets of Mitch McConnell and many others to stay silent on the matter for the theft of our nation like a train conductor allowing their train to be robbed and people killed on it, but being promised a lifetime of riches to let it happen.  

Ironically, China has made several fatal flaws in its strategy, which is typical of all collectivist-based cultures. First, it must be understood that China is not that powerful. Most of their current wealth is looted. America propped up China from a third-world nation. The agents of chaos worldwide have been looking for a straw man character to do their global bidding. China was just the kind of communist power they could use to be the face of their insurrection.   Just like when Trump ripped that mask off with North Korea, which had been hiding China as the neighborhood bully, China was playing that role with the World Economic Forum, what many are calling the Davos Party now, because of their political influence around the world without a home country to give away their intentions. They exist outside of the political theater so that they stay invisible to the political press, and thus, the rest of the world. But in such a way, they control all the governments of the world, including China. That much was apparent this past year at Davos, where China danced to the strings of Klaus Schwab and the Davos gang just like Biden, Janet Yellen, and Dr. Fauci did. To understand how corruption flows into our own political system, you have to understand what’s behind the corruption, and these days the Davos gang are the robbers of the world most behind it. But China thinks of itself as its own master of destiny, even though they wouldn’t exist today without the United States. And like some rebellious teenager that thinks they can throw off the West and be the family leader, the Davos gang has other ideas. 

China thought the key to bringing down America was cutting off what they believe is the head of our nation, something they call “leaders,” like Mark Zuckerbucks, Bill Gates, Ray Dalio, the corporation of Disney, and the heads of our political class. However, the key to understanding the West, which I talk about often in my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, is that capitalism is all about decentralization, not top-down leadership. So China has spent countless amounts of time and resources buying off American companies and members of the political class. Yet they don’t control the direction of the nation. All that has happened and will continue to happen is that the corrupt will appear disjointed from the rest of American society who don’t follow leaders. They tend to do what’s best for them. Such as in politics, that is why many of them still support President Trump after all that has happened to leave China, Davos, and much of the Washington D.C. culture paralyzed with that reality because they don’t understand it. If people followed leaders and those leaders were purchased with corruption, then that should be the end of America. Well, wrong. Because we have a decentralized society where there really isn’t a class system, anybody can be anything they want in America, which is not the case with the rest of the world. And as a result, America can’t be decapitated. If the leaders are cut off from the rest of society, society will still function. However, it has made it easy for Americans to see corruption in the context of action, chiefly revealed in the book Red Handed. Peter Schweizer certainly delivered the goods in a free press with a book that names the names. And while my little story shows the value of maintaining integrity, so long as some people act in that manner, America will never fall to corruption. It just makes it easier for us to see who does. And to see who is most guilty worldwide, where all indications point directly to China and their hostilities toward us all, for malice that is unjustified and malevolent, it’s all in the book, Red Handed.

Democrats Own The Crime Spikes in America: Yet, there is something more sinister happening than just stupidity

Even though it’s an election year and Democrats everywhere want you to forget about their defund the police movement, the crime rates that we are seeing today are entirely their fault. The amount of lawlessness present in our current society is incomprehensibly reprehensible. When I was a kid, I thought you could go to jail over stealing a pack of gum. Now, you can sell drugs, smuggle people over the border, rob your neighbor and steal everything they have, and expect to get away with it. Places where there isn’t much concealed carry, have seen crime rates spike, vandalism, rape, abuse of every kind going through the roof. Gangs are flourishing, just as the cartels of Mexico are. And on a global scale, every type of criminal, even political ones, is thriving like never before. Criminals created these policies of no legal enforcement, and they are not motivated to change their behavior, except to trick voters into keeping them in office so they can do more damage. But don’t think for a second any of this is by accident. No, what we are seeing with this decriminalization of criminal conduct is a more powerful attack, long-planned. From the Soros-backed district attornies to the empowerment of the drug cartels to harass good people like some villains from an old western, the real target has always been our concept of constitutional law in America. All Democrats, to some extent, especially if they call themselves progressives, desire to destroy our idea of a constitution and collapse it into something reinterpreted by new forces of a criminal syndicate operating out of the United Nations. So when they wanted to defund the police, they meant to destroy America at its core of constitutional law and that oath that binds us all together.

Now I’m not one of those people who cry at the thought of a “thin blue line.” I have always had a wary eye toward law enforcement and an even more scrutinous opinion about military service. I am not a fan of “service” to something “bigger” than ourselves. That type of terminology is just more rhetoric from the Bibles of collectivism. The political spectrum we are all told is essential isn’t even on the scale of what the Anti-Federalists who gave us the Bill of Rights were ever thinking. They would be apocalyptic at the level of Federal control they see today.   For instance, the political scale of fascism on the right and communism on the left is entirely wrong, yet nobody in our media gets it right. Even Tucker Carlson on Fox News and Sean Hannity talk about our society in terms of that scale, trying to stay “fair and balanced” within it. While preaching about our “leaders” all the time and where they are on that scale, they still salute fallen soldiers and cops crying over their role in the “thin blue line” and feel they must answer to where they are on that scale, to the right, left, or center. But in my world, it’s all on the left. Fascism is a concept of the left; Hitler was a socialist. None of what the modern media calls the “political left or right” is what is in our Constitution. Our way of law and order in America isn’t even on the scale of what the rest of the world is doing, which is just another form of attack from global forces at the American way of life. 

Just because a cop comes into a Waffle House at 2 AM with a gun on their hip is not a call to worship for me. Under a corrupt administration, that may be my next enemy. If we agree to serve the Constitution, we have common ground. I will be armed too, and a gunfight right then and there would not be to anybody’s advantage because we at least want the same type of society, governed by our Constitution’s rules. But if politicians come into power and try to force changes in Constitutional law, like what we have seen with Roger Stone and Paul Manafort, then that cop might become the new enemy. Federal troops might be good guys under the Trump administration, but those same armed forces may be the enemy breaking down your door at 6 AM with the media truck filming from down the road under Biden’s DOJ. So when a bunch of soldiers comes into that Waffle House at the same hour, all looking for a nice omelet, you won’t see me going over and thanking them for their service. Instead, I would keep my eye on them, weary of their intentions because I might not like who is giving them orders as soldiers following orders. A system never has a higher priority over individual will, and that is what we do when we blindly worship the “thin blue line” or a flag-waving soldier. They may be friends at a Fourth of July parade. Still, they can turn into a menace in a moment over whoever controls the region’s politics, whether they adhere to Constitutional principles or whether they want to get rid of them for something new entirely. 

And that is the actual target radius that Democrats have been caught on with these spikes in crime. I will say that we need police, and we need the military, even if we must keep our eye on them at all times and always keep our own guns nearby in case things go wrong. But the attack on our American Constitution is an attack on the idea of the pronoun “I.” The concept of individual ownership, of one’s own life, children, wife, house, and car. By unleashing a crime wave upon America, the real target is the idea of self and to surrender that self to the blob of collectivism. That even the rich person is equal to the homeless person. The drug addict is privileged to the big screen television of the rich person who has led a clean life, worked hard at a job, a family, and other material possessions to show all that hard work. The Democrats want to erase that measure of work, the possessions that a person acquires over time, and to make it so that the incentive to do so is pointless. And in that way, we would give up our American way of life and begin to accept something else designed at the United Nations. That is what they are after; it’s not that they are crazy. Their attack on America is purposeful and long-planned. Their target against us is in destroying the concept of any form of self-possession, such as “my thoughts” or “my work.” Before Democrats and communists worldwide can ever have a collective-based society, they must remove the pronoun “I” from American culture.

For those who have traveled worldwide, you might instantly recognize this problem when away from America’s shores. The concept of “I” is much removed from daily conversations. Instead, the idea of “We” is much more prevalent. That is undoubtedly prevalent in China, India, and Vietnam. The concept “we” is the center of their society. And increasingly, we see this in Europe as well. And Democrats in America are intent on bringing it to America, and that means attacking the Constitution of our law and order society that protects all ideas of “I” and “My” and replacing that emphases with “we” and “us.” That is where the law enforcement trick comes into place because what are they in service to? We honor police officers and military troops not as individuals but as sacrifices to a “greater good,” a system beyond oneself. So just as in the discussions of the political spectrum being fascism on one side, which might include police brutality, and overly-centralized state-run communism on the left, the entire measurement is focused on a sacrifice of the self to the consumption of the whole. The soldier is no longer a representative of the self; they are now embodiments of a larger body for which they are but “one.” Do you see how they played that little trick? And most everyone in society has fallen for it. So this is a problem far more significant than just defunding the police and seeing crime waves ensue. That was part of the plan all along. It’s part of the Democrat’s desire to eliminate the concept of an American Constitution altogether. And it is there were the many divides of our country start and end.
