The Real America First Movement: Protecting investment around the world from the destruction of socialism and its tyrannical criminals

I’m very happy with the attack on Venezuela and the takeover of its industry by the United States. Rather than sit around waiting for everyone to come into our country to corrupt it, I would propose that we inspire in the world an America First agenda. That truly, America First isn’t about putting up walls and trying to keep everyone out, but to help make the rest of the world into what everyone wants in America, to free them from their oppressors. And this raid into Venezuela is a great “America First” means to help the world in very positive ways, the destruction of socialism as it has looted American investment in countries around the world. The United States’ strike-and-extraction operation in Venezuela is more than an arrest; it is strategic signaling in a world where cartels profit from governance vacuums and exploit international law to shield mass criminality. Robust action against drug networks—whether on the high seas or in hostile capitals—disrupts the illicit economies that otherwise corrode nations, capture bureaucracies, and fund terror. It synthesizes recent data from UNODC, CDC, DEA, Treasury/OFAC, and investigative reporting to show (1) the scale and dynamics of the modern drug trade (synthetics, cocaine, logistics), (2) how Mexico’s cartels embed inside state and local institutions, (3) Venezuela’s “Cartel de los Soles” and allied criminal architecture, and (4) how China, Russia, and Iran/Hezbollah link into the supply chain via precursors, routes, and laundering.

I. The Moral and Strategic Case for Taking the Fight Forward

The global drug market has morphed into a polycentric criminal ecosystem—synthetic opioids (fentanyl, nitazenes), record-high cocaine production, and multi-vector logistics. UNODC’s World Drug Report 2024 estimates 292 million users worldwide in 2022 (up 20% in a decade), with 64 million suffering drug‑use disorders and only 1 in 11 receiving treatment; synthetics are rising, and cocaine supply/markets are expanding across three continents. 1 2 3 4

That scale translates directly into social devastation and leverage for violent groups. In North America, fentanyl and analogues became the deadliest driver of overdoses. The CDC’s provisional dashboard and 2025 statements show a ~27% decline in U.S. overdose deaths from 2023 to 2024—but still tens of thousands of deaths, with overdoses remaining the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18–44. This hard-won progress must not be surrendered to transnational supply chains. 5 6 7 8

Strategic necessity: Cartels and their state enablers exploit international law vacuums and UN bureaucracy to create zones of impunity. When the U.S. demonstrates capability—surgical strikes, maritime interdictions, special operations extractions—that is more than law enforcement; it rebalances deterrence across other negotiations (Ukraine/Russia, the Middle East, and Chinese hostilities toward Taiwan). The Venezuela operation (strikes followed by capture and transfer of Nicolás Maduro for narcoterrorism/cocaine importation conspiracy charges) exemplifies signalling power—warning states and non-state actors that use drug economies to fund aggression and terror. 9 10

Critics object on sovereignty grounds, yet Maduro and senior officials have faced U.S. indictments and sanctions for years (Cartel de los Soles allegations, coordination with FARC/ELN and major cartels, Treasury’s Kingpin actions against figures like Tareck El Aissami). The recent U.S. designation of Cartel de los Soles as an FTO unlocked authorities to crack down on illicit maritime flows before land operations. 11 12 13 14 15

Bottom line: Stopping mass poisoning is a moral obligation. Decisive action abroad reduces capacity, raises costs, and deters collusion—and it complements domestic overdose reductions already underway.

II. What the Data Say: Scope, Trends, and the “Synthetics + Cocaine” Equation

Global scope. UNODC confirms record cocaine production and the spread of synthetic opioids (including nitazenes, even more potent than fentanyl). Drug production/trafficking now overlaps with wildlife crime, illegal mining, and fraud, reinforcing criminal governance. 2 1 3

U.S. public‑health trend. Provisional CDC data: ~80–87k overdose deaths in 2024, down from ~110k in 2023, with fentanyl deaths dropping from ~76k to ~48k. The decline correlates with naloxone scaling, medication-assisted treatment, and supply disruptions. 7 16

Supply chain pressure. DOJ/DEA reporting for 2024–25 lists millions of pills seized, ton‑scale fentanyl powder, dozens of cartel extraditions, and indictments of China-based precursor suppliers, reflecting link-by-link targeting (China → Mexico → U.S.). 17 18

Ports, not footpaths. Data analyses show most fentanyl seizures occur at ports of entry; the majority of smugglers in those cases are U.S. citizens or lawful entrants, underscoring that smarter port security—not conflation with irregular migration—is the key choke point. 19

Mexico’s violence footprint. Over 300,000 homicides in a decade, organized crime as the primary driver, with extortion and firearms crimes surging; public‑security spending is ~0.7% of GDP, far below regional peers—evidence of institutional strain and criminal entrenchment. 20 21

—

III. How Cartels Hide Behind the State: Mexico’s Embedded Criminality

Mexico is the central case of cartels entwined with governance. Over the years, major organizations (Sinaloa, CJNG, Zetas successors) have fragmented, diversified (extortion, kidnapping, huachicol fuel theft, migrant smuggling), and embedded in local institutions. Interviews and analyses (FIU’s Evan Ellis; Atlantic Council charts) highlight pervasive extortion (millions of attempts; under-reporting ~97%), kidnapping/extortion spikes, and armed lethality amplified by smuggled weapons, drones, and tactical vehicles. 22 23

Human Rights Watch’s 2025 report flags high homicide rates, militarized policing, and judicial reforms that may weaken independence—conditions cartels exploit to preserve impunity. 24

Strategic reading: this is criminal state capture in slices—not monolithic control, but localized erosion of sovereignty. When the U.S. disrupts revenue streams (cocaine legs, precursor flows), cartels lose the cash that bankrolls political influence and violence.

—

IV. Venezuela’s Criminal Architecture: The Cartel de los Soles and Allied Networks

For decades, Venezuela provided transit corridors and protection for multi-ton cocaine shipments—leveraging ports, air bases, and military/intelligence cover. U.S. indictments and sanctions detail state-linked facilitation, diplomatic documents for traffickers, and coordination with FARC/ELN, Sinaloa, Zetas, and Tren de Aragua, the latter now itself on U.S. terror lists alongside the Cartel de los Soles. 11 25 12

OFAC’s Kingpin action against Tareck El Aissami (2017) spelled out how airfields and ports were used to move shipments of>1,000 kg, part of a larger network of front companies and laundering. Subsequent State/Justice actions offered rewards, sanctions enforcement, and criminal charges for evasion—precisely the legal scaffolding needed to take down high-level facilitators. 13 14 26

The 2025–26 escalation—maritime strikes on drug boats, FTO designations, and ultimately land strikes/extraction—signals that the U.S. will deny sanctuary to regimes that operationalize narcotrafficking as state policy. 10

—

V. The Iran/Hezbollah Axis in the Americas: Logistics, Laundering, and Venezuelan Haven

Analysts and U.S. testimony document Hezbollah’s Latin American footprint—not only ideological support, but practical money laundering and logistics, with nodes in free trade zones and networks focusing on cocaine proceeds. Venezuela has served as a hub, amplified by Iran–Venezuela ties (payback in gold/fuel tech, joint factories, propaganda). Budget shortfalls in Tehran push Hezbollah deeper into criminal finance. 27 28

Recent reporting and official statements suggest a heightened Hezbollah presence in Venezuela and policy intent to uproot it after Maduro’s capture—key for degrading hybrid narco‑terror finance in the hemisphere. 29 30

—

VI. China’s Role: Precursors, Equipment, and the Post-2019 Shift

The fentanyl supply chain changed after China’s 2019 class-wide controls on fentanyl analogues; direct flows to the U.S. largely ceased, but precursor chemicals and pill‑press equipment continued to feed Mexican production. Congressional research notes dozens of analogues and ongoing international scheduling of key precursors (ANPP, NPP, 4‑AP, boc‑4‑AP, norfentanyl; later four‑piperidone). U.S. policy targets PRC-sourced precursors and financial flows. 31 32

Chinese white papers emphasize expanded domestic controls and multilateral cooperation—significant if rigorously enforced —but U.S. indictments in 2024 show China-based firms still advertising/shipping precursors to cartels. Bridging this gap—from paper to practice—is critical. 33 34 18

—

VII. Russia’s New Cocaine Routes: The Banana Corridor and Post‑Odesa Diversions

With Odesa’s port constrained by war, traffickers re-routed Ecuadorian cocaine to Russia—where seizures jumped tenfold in 2023–24, often concealed in banana containers through St. Petersburg. Investigations by OCCRP, CBS/AFP, and others show multi-ton busts and Russia’s emergence as a transit hub for European markets. This matters because it reshapes cartel logistics, diversifies laundering, and complicates enforcement across Eurasia. 35 36 37 38

—

VIII. The U.S. Play: Link‑by‑Link Pressure and Strategic Signaling

Law‑enforcement pressure: DOJ/DEA have extradited dozens of cartel figures, seized massive quantities of fentanyl, and indicted China-based precursor suppliers—evidence of an end-to-end strategy to break the chain. 17

Financial war: FinCEN’s June 2024 advisory tells banks how to spot precursor procurement (SAR key terms, pill presses), aligning finance surveillance with interdiction. Treasury/OFAC actions (Kingpin designations) freeze assets and deter facilitators. 39

Ports focus: Reorientation toward ports of entry (non-pedestrian smuggling modalities) is empirically justified and should continue with AI inspection, trusted shipper audits, and precursor controls. 19

Military signal: The Venezuela operation—and the prior maritime campaign against drug boats—alters risk calculus for regimes and gangs, conveying that sanctuary is not guaranteed when criminal economies intertwine with governance. 10 9

—

IX. Statistics of importance (2024–2026 window)

• Global drug users: 292 million in 2022 (+20% over 10 years); 64 million with disorders; treatment gap 1 in 11 globally. 1 3

• Cocaine production & markets: Record highs; expansion to Europe/Africa/Asia. 2

• U.S. overdoses: Estimated ~80–87k (2024 provisional), down ~25–27% from 2023; synthetic opioid deaths ~48k (2024) vs ~76k (2023). 7 16

• DEA 2024 actions: 30M+ fentanyl pills and >4,100 lbs powder seized; 2,100 arrests; multiple Chinese company indictments (Oct. 2024). 17 18

• Ports of entry reality: Roughly 4 in 5 fentanyl smugglers at the southern border (2018–2024) were U.S. citizens or lawful entrants; focus should be on ports, not migrants on foot. 19

• Mexico violence: >300,000 homicides (2015–2024); organized crime remains primary driver; public security + justice spend ~0.7% GDP; extortion and firearm crimes rising. 20 21

• Russia route: 5.2 tons seized (2023–24), tenfold increase; repeated multi-ton seizures in banana cargo from Ecuador. 37 35 36

—

X. Policy Framework: Deny, Smash, Seize, Deter

1. Deny Sanctuary

• Maintain maritime interdictions and special operations options against declared FTO networks and state facilitators. Use FTO designation to justify kinetic disruption when law enforcement alone cannot access targets. 10 12

2. Smash Logistics (Precursors & Ports)

• Push PRC enforcement from paper to practice: bilateral precursor scheduling completion (4‑piperidone set), export‑verification, and industry audits; follow with U.S. indictments when necessary. Pair with U.S. port tech (AI/analytics) to detect small‑volume, high‑potency flows. 33 31 18

3. Seize Money & Equipment

• Use FinCEN red‑flags (pill presses, die molds, unusual chemical purchases) and civil/criminal forfeiture; scale kingpin sanctions for Venezuelan facilitators and Hezbollah financiers (FTZ networks). 39

4. Deter State Collusion

• Maintain visible consequences for regimes weaponizing narcotics. The Maduro capture sets a precedent: narco‑terror as grounds for cross-border arrest and trial. Pair with diplomatic off‑ramps for post-regime transitions to restore lawful oil output and deny illicit funding to foreign adversaries. 9

5. Sustain Domestic Demand‑Side Gains

• Keep overdose momentum: naloxone saturation, medication-assisted treatment, Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) funding—because supply shocks work best when demand falls. 5 6

—

XI. Answering Common Critiques

• “Isn’t this about oil?”

Oil matters—but the central predicate is narco‑terror, cocaine importation conspiracy, and state-backed criminality. Sanctioned regimes have used oil rents + criminal economies to entrench power; restoring lawful production under a non-criminal government reduces cartel financing, improves regional stability, and removes a strategic lever for Iran/Russia proxies. 11 30

• “International law says no.”

The counterargument is self-defense against non-state actors designated as foreign terrorists, aided and abetted by officials under prior indictments and sanctions; the U.S. campaign explicitly framed strikes as part of an armed conflict with cartels after FTO designation, then executed a law‑enforcement handoff in U.S. courts. 10

• “Focus at home first.”

We are—and we must do both. CDC data prove that domestic interventions are working, but global supply chains will re-route unless external pressure remains. This is two‑fronts: treatment/prevention at home, interdiction/pressure abroad. 5 6

—

XII. Justice as Deterrence, Deterrence as Peace

When criminal economies become state practice, freedom erodes—first in the barrios and border towns, then in courts and media, and finally in the geopolitics that decide whether terror proxies project power in our hemisphere. The Venezuela operation—preceded by months of boat strikes and backed by years of indictments and sanctions—was smart policy because it reanchors deterrence: America can reach you; your sanctuary is temporary; your money will be seized; your routes will be broken.

In parallel, the U.S. must keep overdose deaths falling—the quiet revolution that saves lives every day—while systematically stripping cartels of their cross-border logistics, their state patrons, and their money men. That is how we protect culture, restore the rule of law, and signal to Russia, Iran, and China that the narco‑strategy is a dead strategy when the cost of doing business keeps rising. The best “America First” policy is to make American ideas the values of the world, and to stop messing around with all this global hand holding. If we are going to pay for everything, then lets insist that they do things our way. And where drug manufacture is most abundant, and supported by hostile countries who intend to see our people poisoned, and killed, we must take that fight to their doorstep. Which I more than fully support!

Justice in the Shadows: The Asiah Slone Murder and America’s Hidden Epidemic of Unsolved Crime

On a quiet street in Middletown, Ohio, a small house stands as a grim monument to the collapse of a once-thriving community. Behind that house, in a trash bin parked in an alley, police discovered the dismembered remains of Asiah Slone—a woman whose life ended violently in June 2024. Her murder was shocking not only for its brutality but for what it revealed about the social decay festering in America’s forgotten towns. Slone’s death was not an isolated tragedy; it was a symptom of a deeper disease—economic collapse, drug addiction, homelessness, and the erosion of moral and civic order.

The Slone case is a lens into the broader epidemic of violent crime in economically depleted communities. Murders, like Slone’s, are usually prosecuted successfully, but many countless others remain unsolved, creating an illusion of justice—celebrating convictions in high-profile cases—masks a systemic failure to address the conditions that breed violence and what these failures mean for law enforcement, policy, and the future of American society.

Asiah Slone disappeared in late June 2024. For weeks, her absence drew little attention. In neighborhoods hollowed out by poverty and addiction, people vanish often—sometimes to rehab, sometimes to jail, sometimes to the grave. It wasn’t until July 1, when the stench of decomposition led authorities to a trash bin behind a house on Centennial Avenue, that the horror came to light. Inside were Slone’s remains, cut into pieces and stuffed into garbage bags.¹

Investigators quickly focused on Brandon Davis, a 46-year-old man with a long history of drug abuse and petty crime. Witness testimony and forensic evidence revealed that Davis shot Slone in the head while she slept, then ordered Perry Hart, who has an addiction, to finish the job in the basement. Hart complied, firing a second shot to ensure death. Together, they dismembered the body and disposed of it in the alley.²

The motive was depressingly banal: a dispute over stolen items and simmering resentment among a group of people living on society’s margins. Drugs were everywhere. Homelessness was common. Violence was inevitable.³

As grand jury foreman, I signed the indictment that set the case in motion. The prosecutors did their job well, securing a conviction in February 2025. Davis received life without parole for 45 years. Hart pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and kidnapping. Justice, in the narrow sense, was served. But the deeper question remains: What does justice mean in a world where desperation breeds murder, and where countless similar crimes go undetected or unpunished?

Slone’s case was prosecuted because it was apparent. The evidence was overwhelming: a body in a dumpster, confessions, and DNA on the weapon. But what about the murders that leave no such trail? What about the victims whose bodies are never found, or whose killers are careful enough to erase their tracks?

The numbers are sobering. In 1964, the U.S. homicide clearance rate—the percentage of murders solved—was 83.7%. Today, it hovers around 50%.⁴ In 2022, the rate hit a historic low of 52.3%.⁵ Even with slight improvements in 2024, nearly half of all murders in America remain unsolved. In Ohio, the rate is about 64%, meaning one in three killings goes unpunished.⁶

Why? Several factors converge:
• Resource Constraints: Police departments are understaffed and underfunded.
• Community Distrust: Witnesses fear retaliation or don’t trust law enforcement.
• Complexity of Cases: Drug-related killings often involve transient populations and chaotic circumstances.
• Legal Barriers: Prosecutors need airtight evidence to avoid wrongful convictions.

The Slone case stands out because it was reckless. The killers left a body in a public alley. They talked. They confessed. Most killers are not so careless. This case is emblematic of a much larger crisis. Across the United States, violent crime statistics reveal a staggering reality. The Bureau of Justice Statistics confirms that more than 250,000 homicides since 1980 remain unsolved. These numbers represent not just data points but shattered families and communities living under the shadow of fear.

Drug epidemics amplify this violence. The CDC reports that fentanyl-related overdose deaths reached 72,776 in 2023, accounting for 69% of all overdose fatalities. DEA intelligence shows cartels dominate fentanyl distribution, sourcing precursors from Chinese suppliers and flooding U.S. streets with synthetic opioids. These networks fuel turf wars, retaliatory killings, and systemic corruption, creating a perfect storm of addiction and violence.

Racial disparities compound the crisis: murders of Black victims are significantly less likely to be solved than those of White victims, according to a 2023 study by the Murder Accountability Project. A lot of that reason is cultural, because of a lack of cooperation in black communities to provide testimony against crime. Police departments face chronic staffing shortages, and under labor union guidelines, paint themselves in corners that don’t match public sentiment all too often, with the International Association of Chiefs of Police reporting a 14% vacancy rate nationwide. Forensic labs struggle with DNA backlogs exceeding 100,000 cases. Community distrust further hampers investigations, as witnesses fear retaliation or lack confidence in the justice system. The overall story on the labor side of crime fighting is that too many employees in the industry are too lazy to do the job, causing serious capacity problems in doing the actual work. So the industry sets the bar low, goes after all the most obvious cases, while many of the real crimes go unreported and unpunished.

The opioid crisis intersects with violent crime in devastating ways. Cartels have diversified beyond narcotics into human trafficking, generating $236 billion annually through forced labor and sexual exploitation. Millions of women and children are entrapped in these networks, often under the same criminal syndicates orchestrating narcotics flows. This duality magnifies humanitarian crises, rendering cartels not merely criminal enterprises but systemic violators of fundamental rights.

Solutions require investment in technology, expansion of cold case units, and robust witness protection programs. Federal funding for violent crime investigations has stagnated, even as homicide rates rise. Legislative initiatives must prioritize improvement in the clearance rate as a metric of justice, not just crime reduction. But the reality of the story is that we have a society that has stopped looking in trash cans. When they smell something bad, they don’t regulate crime in their own communities for fear of that crime coming in their direction. Cops don’t work enough, and the unions frustrate full employee engagement. There aren’t enough volunteer law enforcement efforts. I can say that when I was on the grand jury, I was the top cop of my community for a month. I didn’t get paid, but a minimal amount for the effort. But it was one of the best jobs I ever did, and I was very proud to sign the indictment on Brandon Davis, the murderer of Asiah Slone. I would do that every day for free. So I don’t understand cops who have to go to Walgreens for a tampon run every time they have to work a few hours of overtime. Getting shot at and living dangerously is part of the fun. So I’m not sympathetic to complaining at all. Because the criminals know that the cops really don’t care, that for most of them, it’s just a job. And the courts are only prosecuting the most obvious cases, the easy ones. And the Slone case was an easy one. But one thing is sure in all this, it can’t continue at this rate. Society has to reform at the level of the family, because none of this is working.

The Success of Operation Midway Blitz: Pushing communism under the door with illegal immigration

Happy to report that Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago has been very successful, with over 1500 arrests since the start of September. The Department of Homeland Security has been targeting alleged criminals like pedophiles and gang members with some of the arrests spilling over outside of Illinois. ICE agents have been very successful in removing the criminal elements that have been deliberately put in place by Democrats to serve progressive causes, and it has the radical left very upset, which is good. That’s what happens when you start solving problems that want to exist so they can exert power over all society. The high crime in Chicago was deliberately placed and left alone, and it’s time to clean up that city, even if the mayor, Brandon Johnson, and Governor J.B. Pritzker have been doing everything they can to facilitate the continuation of the high crime. Why, because they know, as all Democrats do, that the key to their insurrection party is illegal immigration, who bring with it criminal elements to destabilize society in detrimental ways and convince people to turn to big government for safety and security. Governor Pritzker has to have high crime to justify the kind of personal intrusions and government growth that the Democratic Party intends. Otherwise, the whole premise of their existence falls apart. Trump pushing for Operation Midway Blitz exposed this strategy for what it was, and it has now been very successful. Crime is down, and that started before the blitz because caution was in the air as criminals realized the game was up and their free roam of the city streets was at an end. There is more going on with Chicago than just this latest issue; it was built to be a progressive invasion in America, and if we want that to stop, the city itself and its politics have to be attacked. So this is more than a symbolic exercise; it’s a strategy that should have been implemented long ago.

Chicago is one of the great American cities, located in the heart of the Midwest. I interact with Chicago a lot, and it has been part of my story for many years. Not that I meant to, but I worked for several organized crime groups early in my life, who were centered out of Chicago, for one, the Chinese mob. And the second was a money-laundering outfit that operated car dealerships to launder money. I started in these enterprises through the usual application process: getting a job and earning money straight away. But because of my personality, I was quickly sought out to do the things other people are scared to do, and I learned, up close and personal, how the life of crime worked, always in the background. I did not become a criminal, but I did get into a lot of entanglements, some of which were very violent and dangerous. But let’s just say I have first-hand knowledge of the kind of world Governor Pritzker is trying to protect and maintain. I was so outraged by everything I learned that I have dedicated my life to eradicating that evil, which is why I do many of the things I do for free. I don’t like evil, and I really don’t like crime that spawns from it. And with all that said, I am thrilled Trump has declared war against this terrible tyranny always looming in the background. Chicago wasn’t always the crime-ridden pit that it is today. It was made that way on purpose, and we should all be insulted by the intention, which is now finally being corrected.

If you fly into O’Hara, you’ll see miles and miles of communist style apartment complexes where people have been stacked on top of each other for as far as the eye can see. There is quite an attempt right now to show China as the example of what communism can bring, with its centrally planned efforts producing great architecture and technology, all the while in America using that same centralized management approach to depress Americans away from free markets and free enterprise. Even the positive effects of a supposedly democratic system, where people pick their representatives in a republic-style government. In both cases, centralized governments used their power to prop up one international standard over the other. Globalist elites drove the push toward Chinese communism. And it has been they who have shaped Chicago into the crime-ridden hell-hole that it is. The downtown areas are not too bad —deliberately so —especially around McCormick Place and Soldier Field. The northside isn’t too bad once you get well past the city. But to the south and west of downtown, it’s pretty rough. If you get gas anywhere in those zones, you can expect an engagement with crime, and all that is on purpose. Crime doesn’t just happen; in this case, it was invited in with the purpose of illegal immigration. And the Democrat party knows they need crime and illegal immigration to fulfill their communist plans of pushing people away from capitalism and into outright Chinese communism. Chicago and its crime were always part of the plan of suppression. To save the great American city, the push was for America to adopt more Chinese communism so we could be more like their shining example.

The way that Chicago set up its neighborhoods tells the whole story of why they have crime now; it was always meant to. Free enterprise was never part of how the modern city was put together; it was meant to bring in and hide illegal immigrants who would funnel the drug trade in behind the chaos and destabilize polite society from behind a political firewall. While society was debating the proper pay for women in the workplace and abortion, criminals were undercutting one of the great American cities with grotesque violence occurring every day to the point where it was normalized, and people expected a suppressed environment. It wasn’t just about Chicago; it was about pushing communism under the door of the Midwest and bringing down America from the inside out. Poisoning the highway system to all the other big cities with crime, and those destabilizing attempts started with illegal immigration hidden in the apartment slums of west Chicago, to the point where the crime spilled over into the outside world to destroy the American dream like a Trojan Horse in the middle of the night, to slit all our throats while we slept. That is why Democrats are so upset about Operation Midway Blitz. And why it’s so good to see it succeed, no matter how long it continues. Democrats need illegal immigration to pull off their communist scam. And instead of just accepting that, as we have for many decades —essentially an entire century —we are fighting back and taking Chicago away from the criminal elements, which is leaving Democrats in a panic as to what to do next. Pritzker, unable to shake Trump off the trail, turned to gambling to pump up his already deflated image. But his political hopes are being cleaned away, too, in all this. He took a stand to protect illegal immigration, and Trump is ripping that away, leaving Democrats helpless as a result. And for the first time in many decades, the truth about Chicago is finally being seen. And a lot of people will live, who usually would have been sacrificed to the need for crime by Democrats who have been cheerleading communism all along.

The Arrest of James Comey: It’s time for justice

Nobody should be surprised by the arrest of James Comey. Of course, it was proper to let the statute of limitations run just short of 5 years, then arrest the old FBI director, letting him think he was going to get away with his crimes, of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice. Comey purposely misled lawmakers during the Russian probe into Crossfire Hurricane, and it wasn’t forgivable. You can’t have a law and order society if those who are supposed to be caretakers of that law and order are committing crimes, and James Comey clearly did. And he’s not the only one. But Comey started a lot of the Deep State activism against Trump, and the rest of us with a reckless disregard for the truth and he has to be punished for it. And we knew that when Trump pushed Pam Bondi to move on some of these indictments, this was all going to go down. It’s time. The stall tactics of the career bureaucrats, who were expecting to wait out Trump’s term, have revealed an arrogance that needs to be broken up. They can’t be allowed to conduct themselves as they have and resist justice. With people we expect to run these investigations, such as Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, this unique window was only going to open up for a short time, and now is that time. The expectation that people like Comey could commit crimes and stall the results and sit on a beach somewhere waiting out the previous administration until voters simply removed them is over. As I have said, and this is key, from the beginning. You can’t throw people like Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon in jail without expecting punishment. These people tried to destroy Trump’s life just for daring to be in politics, and now he has the authority of the American people behind him to set right all these many wrongs, starting with Jim Comey.

I will be talking about it a lot, my now-famous CNN segment where I said live on the air to Anderson Cooper’s audience that Comey had lied in his first testimony in May 2017, when Trump first fired him. At that time, it was a very scandalous thing to say. Not that I cared much, because I had my own media outlet that was much more popular than any of those mainstream ones. So my punishment for saying what I did about Comey put me in the radical right-wing crazy column, and everyone stopped asking me to appear on television and radio shows after that CNN segment. And all I said was that I thought Comey was more inclined to fiction when saying anything. I was pretty nice about saying that the former FBI Director was a lying scum bag. However, people had a hard time getting their minds around that idea because Comey projected a Boy Scout-like honesty that defied the reality of him. And people wanted the illusion. And the Deep State took note, figuring they could get away with anything. And the arrogance of Comey continued to escalate. And the career types who are in these jobs were cheerleading the demise of Trump from their way too comfortable jobs. They conspired against the hand-picked administration and thought we were all fools as they manipulated the FISA courts, expecting us all to just sit on our hands and let it happen. They thought we were suckers who would not fight back. And they ended up stealing an election just a few short months after the testimony that got Comey in all the trouble he is in now. These charges are not the only ones for which he is guilty. But the trend was evident at the time, and now, in hindsight, there were a lot of crimes that were committed against Trump and the idea of an open election that is impossible to ignore.

This idea of stalling out investigations, as seen with Pam Bondi in the Department of Justice and Kash Patel, is reminiscent of what Comey used to do. And people like Dan Bongino helping in the background, that the system was designed to hide people like Jim Comey from justice was going to be allowed to stand. It was a dumb concept that was never going to work. I have been very forgiving of Pam Bondi. It takes a few months to learn some of these jobs, especially when all the employees who report to you are sandbagging. You don’t want to prosecute unfairly, and Trump certainly didn’t want to win office and start throwing his political rivals in jail. But, they asked for it. And after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, after the attempted assassination of Trump, there simply is no other option. We can point to the killers and send them to the firing squad. But there is an entire system behind them of these career Deep Staters who are really causing all the trouble in the world, and justice has to point in their direction, starting with one of the worst of all, James Comey. He lied and hid his malice behind a “golly gee” Tayler Swift façade, like he’s the dad in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, instead of a conniving villain trying to protect the pensions of career leeches off taxpayer dollars.

And the public will reward Trump with the arrest of Jim Comey, and they’ll expect many more to be prosecuted as well. The best way to undo the system is to crush it and let it collapse. Let the media have a meltdown over what they thought was a protected class of criminals, the career bureaucrats, such as James Comey, who were protected by government unions into perpetual activism and could lie, cheat, and steal because all the laws were rigged to favor them. And to get away with their crimes, all they had to do was outlast the elected office holders who would come and go. They were protected by a media driven by the same labor union mentality, which led them not to criticize their brothers and sisters in government, but instead to criticize the elected representatives who send those people to Washington to work on their behalf, only to rotate out every four years or so. Arresting Comey is the start of something truly outstanding and orderly. No longer can career political figures hide in the background and get away with horrendous legal tampering, as we saw happen with the former FBI Director. And he won’t be the last, but is just the first. And that’s how it should be, given this long history. It was eight years ago that I interviewed on CNN, where I stated that Comey was a liar. It has taken this long to have him finally arrested for his crimes, and that is with someone like Trump in the White House. These crimes are committed because there is an expectation of being too nice, and the criminals have been taking advantage of that gullibility for too long. And they expected it to continue perpetually. But we all have an obligation to a law and order society, and that starts by not letting these criminals get away with it, and to hide behind union cards and mass collectivism. And with that in mind, James Comey is just the very first.

Why Federalizing the Police is a Great Thing: We can trust Trump to give power back

With all the talk about federalizing the police in cities with excessive violent crime, an underlying flaw in thinking is revealed. Chicago is a creation of liberal politics that is out of control. Over Labor Day weekend 2025, 58 people were shot across 37 separate incidents with eight fatalities. And that has become all too normal in that progressive city, where crime has been incentivized and police are hard to find. Washington, D.C., was just as bad before Trump federalized the police force there and put National Guard troops on the streets to supplement the police, and crime has been driven down to nearly zero. In the District of Columbia, Trump can do that, and even the very Democrat mayor Muriel Bowser has enjoyed the results. She has not been a Trump supporter and has instead worked against him in the past. But even she can see the noticeable results. So we’re dealing with a shell game that is consistent among many other topics, but it has been exposed here because Trump was able to control the situation in the District of Columbia, as opposed to the theory of putting ground troops into other cities in the nation. That some evil people are trying to destroy the United States by using our own laws and terminology against us, which is being exposed in Chicago by the resistance to do in that violent city what Trump has done in Washington, D.C. Democrats don’t want to solve the problem of crime in places like Chicago. They want the crime, and that is what emerges from the resistance that J.B. Pritzker, the governor of Illinois, has been caught up in as he violently opposes Trump sending the National Guard to reform the streets of Chicago as well. With crime levels at the rate that they are, a national emergency is more than justified, which gives Trump a clear path to send in the troops.

Should we be cheering on such an effort? After all, I’m very suspicious of police powers. Based on the Constitution, should we even have a standing army? I would be inclined to say no. However, here is a situation where we already have policing forces on the payroll, and they aren’t doing much else. And we have police unions that restrict the recruiting and retention of current police forces, which are obviously not enough to deal with the crime incentives in big cities. And you have criminal elements who use the potential of violence to gain control over other people. And when people are afraid, traditionally, they vote for big government Democrats to save them. That’s the theory anyway, that’s what political people believe. So there are hostile, anti-American forces working behind an assumption of constitutional protections who want to use the rules to bring down American society. And where they can, they use crime as a destabilizing force to undo everything legally, even to the point where lawyers seek to protect the criminals and the criminally minded, rather than a peace-loving society that is thriving. In the case of Trump sending troops into Chicago, the governor is furious and is utilizing legal retaliation to stop it. For his politics, and those of the Democrat party, they need 58 people shot over Labor Day weekend. They want eight people to die every weekend. To stay in power within political orders, they need trouble so that people vote for them to save them from that trouble. And once you understand that, you will see that open borders are meant to overwhelm voting opportunities, that drug policy is there to deliberately poison Americans to the point of killing them. And violent crime is a direct attack against a society that values private property over state-controlled assets. If people have to turn to the government to protect their property, a communist dream is then realized, which is the point.

I would go several steps further and take away the gun-free zone status of cities like Chicago and let good guys with guns shoot bad guys with guns, and things would straighten up really fast. But short of that, something has to be done, and when you have National Guard troops and other military units always ready to engage violence somewhere in the world, then why not send them in to these dangerous cities to clean up crime? Is federal independence more valuable than those 58 lives? That is the question that has been imposed on us. Should we have independence when the cost of that independence is lives that fall victim to violent crime? That is the question that we are tasked with behind the criminal conspirators who want the crime to shatter our society. J.B. Pritzker wants to run for president and position himself as everyone’s dad, a parental government figure. So he needs the crime so that he can have a reason to run on a political platform of saving people. But if they are already saved and self-reliant, then why would anybody vote for Democrats? That is their problem, and Trump exposes it by taking away the crises and fixing them, leaving Democrats exposed in ways they can’t handle. But should we federalize our police forces by eroding states’ rights? Once they take such power, then why would someone like Trump ever give it back?

Same interview on YouTube

If the same question were posed during Obama’s administration or Biden’s, I would not trust federal forces to do anything in any community. It would be a power grab that would be unacceptable. But in Trump’s case, he has earned a level of trust that only hard knocks could provide, and it is different. I think it’s the only way to solve the crime problem, and I want to see federal troops in every crime-ridden city, putting an end to all crime problems. I also want to see the military ending the drug trade and specifically the power drug cartels have in all American cities. They should all be eradicated, and we should invade other countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Peru and clean up all crime organizations involved in the drug trade and in human trafficking. And once the world is cleaned up, we can talk about separating federal powers from states’ rights issues. I am confident that Trump will respect constitutional limits and return power to the states and cities once the issue is resolved. But, if it were up to Democrats, federal police forces would only be strengthened because their ultimate aim is to give the government the power over private property. So when J.B. Pritzker complains about Trump overstepping his authority, it’s actually the plan that Democrats hope to have by supporting crime, to push society into just this kind of concession. Only under Democrat rule does that kind of authority become tyranny. But under Trump, it’s freedom. Freedom from crime. Freedom to own and maintain private property. Freedom to not be killed while walking down a city street. The crime is there to tempt society into giving big government control over to private ownership and to have people applauding as it is ushered in. But what’s different with Trump is that he can resist the temptation to make such policies permanent once the problem is solved, and that is what Democrats really fear. Trump will address the issue and restore that power once the task is completed. Which Democrats can’t afford to see happen. Yes, Democrats are willing to see people die to make their point. And if those people don’t die of violent crime, then why would anybody vote for any Democrats, ever? That’s what we are dealing with.

Jim Comey Needs to be in Jail: Trying to intimidate the Supreme Court, and others to outlast Trump’s administration

Jim Comey knew what he was doing when playing with seashells on a beach and took a picture of an arrangement he made for his Instagram account. That he denied he didn’t know what “8647” meant shows now, in hindsight, what a pervasive liar he has been on everything. This is something that Democrats have been doing for a while to send a signal out to their deranged base of lunatics to do something stupid with a dog whistle meant for them. Jim Comey was calling for the removal, by the understood means of assassination, by using the number “86” and putting it on his social media to connect with people who would do just that. And by itself, it’s a serious matter. But Jim Comey is on the outside now because he actively tried to remove Trump himself with all kinds of illegal activity, making up dossiers and passing them off as fact, faking FISA warrants, lying to congress, lying to the President and voters, Jim Comey, as I told CNN long ago, was a no good loser who was corrupt and took the FBI down a dark path for which it will never recover. And given his history, and the known assassinations that were already attempted against Trump, the context of this recent case of Comey getting caught doing it is unforgivable, and he should be in jail for his misdeed. It doesn’t matter that the FBI interviewed him and his intentions. Comey is a known, professional liar, and he knowingly put up a mark on his social media account as the former Director of the FBI, and the consequences for that action should be jail time at a minimum. His intent is well chronicled and can be supported in a court of law beyond a reasonable doubt.

But there is a bigger problem looming in the background, and this is about the Supreme Court ruling against Trump’s Article II powers to deport criminal thugs and cartel members operating in the United States. On the same day we learned about Comey’s activism, we also learned that the Supreme Court, including all of Trump’s picks, went against him on deporting the illegal alien gang members, that have been hotly debated. Seeing the Supreme Court punt with a 7-2 decision surprised everyone. Well, I’m not surprised. I was just at the Supreme Court recently, and know the vibe there firsthand. There is a lot of pressure on them to distance themselves from the Trump administration because, after all, the polite society types know that Trump is temporary, and judges tend to wait for a lifetime appointment. They will be around long after Trump is gone, so the assumption goes, and what the Supreme Court doesn’t want are people like James Comey, who are all over the intelligence community, putting out “86” hits on them to be performed by some crazy hitman lunatic driving by on a scooter outside their home and erasing them from existence while they are getting their mail. Because that’s what’s bad about this hit request from Comey, is that he knows as an insider, that baked into his actions is an unprovably assumption about an underbelly of criminal conduct that works continuously in the background and turns the timid types, like judges on the Supreme Court into cowards worried about their future as the system itself will dispose of them at their first chance. In this way, Comey commanded from his former title, showing that he’s like a mob boss still calling the shots from jail. Members of the Supreme Court are afraid of these people for good reasons.

Trump’s picks are going out of their way to show they are independent of the President because the pressure on them is intense. And when Comey put that message on his Instagram account, he didn’t mean it for Trump. He meant it for the people who work for Trump and around him, as a rallying cry to resist him. He will be gone and won’t be able to protect them at some point. So they better get with the program. We’ve seen Chuck Schumer beg a mob of malcontents to attack members of the Supreme Court for their previous rulings, and we’ve seen other assassination attempts against Trump where the FBI practically left the door open for the killers to kill. This isn’t an accident; it’s a method of behavior that Democrats are counting on. And they are bold about it. And based on Comey’s past behavior, we were aware that he openly worked against the taxpayer selection of a representative in the White House; there is no way to deny what Comey was up to. He and “they,” the Democrat mob who have found themselves out of power, are showing emotional leverage of the Supreme Court through well-planted acts of potential violence to steer them away from hard rulings and to punt this deportation case back down to the 5^th circuit to stall Trump’s efforts, which won’t work in the end. There are other ways to skin this cat. However, the Supreme Court invalidated itself in the process because of the apparent threats from the hard left, of which Comey is a part. There are a lot of his type in the law and order community at all levels, and they are arrogant because they think the rest of everybody is too stupid to know what they are up to. Well, people see it, and they know what was going on in this case, and nobody believes what he’s saying. It was this same Comey FBI that hid the Anthony Weiner laptop, whose wife is the new woman for little Alex Soros, and the Hunter Biden laptop, which showed all kinds of legal infractions. And did not move to put Hillary Clinton in jail for her email scandal, but instead ran cover for her, because they were trying to keep Trump out of office.

When you have people like Comey in the intelligence agencies, even when Trump has picked better people to run the Department of Justice now than we had, you still have these people on the payroll, and they are just holding their nose and waiting for Trump to be out of office once more. And messages like Comey’s seashells are obvious intimidation tactics to show the masses that the mob is really in charge, and even members of the former administrations are always just a call away. That insurrection through mob rule still dominates this material world. Isn’t that the message of Hiram Abiff? What say you, Master Masons? The mob kills, and we must surrender this world and keep our eyes on the next. So that cowards can justify turning their cheek away from evil and not face it, even when it presents itself on a beach by the former Director of the FBI. And when caught, he lied and said it didn’t mean what we all know it meant. Jim Comey is a dirty cop who wants crime to exist so that Democrats can stay in power. And they want to tie up the Supreme Court so that violence can overthrow the order of a Trump administration before it can do all the great things promised during the 2024 campaign. These are not lovers of America; they want to overthrow it, and their best weapon of choice is to inspire derelicts to action, which was what Jim Comey intended. He needs to be put in jail and made an example of.

The Biden Crime Family: Rudy Guiliani wrote the book, now we must have the courage to prosecute

I’ve always been a big fan of Rudy Guiliani, and I took what was done to him after the Trump coup in 2020 with massive, government-sponsored election fraud and sought to personally destroy him in every way, shape, and form as a very personal attack. Rudy is one of the best law enforcement officers we have seen in this country, America. He is much bigger of a figure than Elliot Ness, who took on Al Capone and the Chicago mob. In New York, Rudy Guiliani took on all the big crime syndicates in the 80s when it was tough to do so. They were bleeding the city dry, and Rudy came along and cleaned it up, especially going after the Gambino crime family. Rudy knew what organized crime was and knew it early on with Joe Biden, which all turned out to be true. Rudy was the first one to get his hands on the Biden Laptop from Hell, and he was all over the election fraud from 2020, at a time when no lawyers in the country dared to come to Trump’s defense. Rudy was there, and his fight for justice has cost him dearly, as the BAR has taken away his law license for defending Trump, bankrupted him in court for questioning election fraud, and destroyed a reputation it took a lifetime of good work to build. Over the last four years, they have left Rudy Guiliani, the great crime-fighting mayor, destroyed in every way except the one that counts most. They have not destroyed his spirit. Instead, Rudy, under a vicious attack from government mobsters, sat down and wrote a book about why the Biden crime family should be prosecuted, and he played it all out for any court of law to get their minds around. And the book came out just before the 2024 election, at the end of October.

The book was published by WarRoom Books, which is Steve Bannon’s group that runs the very famous podcast, and I would recommend it to anyone. It’s called The Biden Crime Family: A Blueprint for Their Prosecution, and it’s a good read that is important for our times. My first statement about the book and why I got it was to put some money back in Rudy’s pocket. He more than deserves it. He was nearly destroyed trying to do the right thing. I’ve spent many hours explaining to people why and how the mob elements of our society moved into government, and this case against Rudy is more than just political activism. It’s revenge because Rudy was successful in putting away crime families. The Biden’s know the type of people they have feared most, so using government power stolen through massive election fraud, they went after one of their enemies that was most threatening to them, and they sought to utterly destroy him and Trump. And anybody connected to Trump directly or indirectly. And just to rewind the tape, that was the case up to the assassination attempt of Trump in Pennsylvania during the summer of 2024. When the bullet missed Trump, the country rallied behind him, and the tables suddenly turned in a different direction. By then, this book was written. Trump won the election. Many people are inclined to let Biden go off into a corner and hide from the world for the rest of his life, which is about five more minutes based on how he looks and acts. Most people have a sentiment to move on from the nightmare that was the Biden administration and the Democrats who ran him in the background, like Barack Obama. Americans tend to live and let live. But I would caution against that action because the Biden crime family committed significant crimes, and they have to be punished.

The crimes were influence peddling, and many people in government still do it. Biden started selling off influence using his family as a broker when he was a senator. He was the check valve for the Obama radical that Democrats used to keep the system intact at the time. But most of those in government at that time and some in the present have been selling influence to those willing to buy it essentially since the start of our republic. And the Biden crime family has been one of the worst, operating essentially the same way crime syndicates did. And the evidence is all over the Biden laptop, which the FBI purposefully kept from the public, just as they did Anthony Wiener’s laptop and all the deleted emails of Hillary Clinton. When organized crime moves into your government positions, you have a big problem, and we certainly did. Joe Biden, with his son Hunter, sold direct influence to foreign actors while he was Vice President. That went on while he was president, and the family used Joe as their primary revenue stream. People worldwide would essentially pay for access to the White House, which went on for more than 12 years. But that’s not all. In Rudy’s book, he chronicles what the Biden family knows about Joe Biden’s diagnosed dementia, which is a significant security risk. But through their fear of losing their money racket of influence peddling, they have tried to keep that from the public, which is a serious case of elder abuse. The knowing mistreatment of an old man and concealing the condition from the public to avoid questions of security compromises is highly illegal and very serious stuff.

And we can’t forget what was done; we certainly can’t forgive. We might want to move on, but this criminal government tried hard to destroy anybody who stood in their way, especially Rudy Guiliani. And they can’t be allowed to get away with it. Rudy deserves to have his reputation completely restored; he needs to be able to practice law unrestricted, and the Biden crime family needs to be punished as an example for others doing the same thing. The lack of desire to avenge the Biden family is because most other politicians around Joe Biden are doing the same thing. How else could they have become wealthy while their primary income was in public office? It has been a dirty game. We are cleaning it up with a freshly elected Trump administration that has earned the right to reform this criminal-oriented government completely. But we can’t go soft on the old man because he was just the figurehead. There are a lot of characters in the background who used Joe Biden to do their dirty work, and they need to pay for their crimes. To live in a law and order society, you must punish criminal activity aggressively. And there is no bigger target presently than the Biden crime family. Many evil people are watching and seeing what we do about it now that we know. Rudy wrote out the case with great clarity in his book for more reasons than well-deserved revenge for all that has been done to him. It’s out of a sense of justice that he wrote that book. And one that people should read and act on so that it never happens again.

Proof of 2020 Election Fraud: Where are over 12 million voters

No, we’re not just going to move on. I told everyone what would happen, and it did exactly how I said it would, and now millions of people have a lot of egg on their faces because of it. But yes, we have to talk about it because as Trump releases the January 6^th prisoners, who never should have been put in jail in the first place, everyone needs context to one of the most significant crimes ever to be perpetrated against the human race. January 6^th, 2021, was caused by a hostile government performing a coup against the American people they were supposed to serve, and they certified an election people knew occurred through election fraud. So as a legal foundation, that has to be understood. It is not a polite society thing to accept theft and crime. It is not our task to look the other way when our government commits a crime, such as removing someone from office they don’t like and putting someone we didn’t in office. I pointed out precisely what would happen in the 2024 election, including the storyline of Biden beating Trump where Kamala couldn’t. Kamala Harris was put in place to hide election fraud because everyone knew what they did to make Biden win in 2020, and they knew they wouldn’t be able to duplicate the results. So, as soon as Kamala lost, the media narrative was, “Maybe Biden should have stayed in the race because he had success where Harris didn’t.” But here’s the deal: Democrats never had 81 million votes because Kamala Harris, as a woman of color, and a woman, wasn’t able to outperform Joe Biden anywhere in the country just four years later. Why, you ask, because in 2024, it was much harder to cheat than what they did in 2020 when COVID gave them cover to change the rules to allow them to insert Biden in office rather than to be elected by free choice.

Essentially, Trump gained the same votes in 2024 as in 2020, hovering just over 73 million people. However, Harris never made it out of the 60 millions, which is about where traditional elections with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton had been. Everyone seems shocked that Trump won the popular vote by 4-5 million voters. But I’m not. He performed as he had in previous elections. But Democrats had won those previous elections through election fraud, and we know now, aside from the vast evidence brought forth, that they couldn’t duplicate the results anywhere because the mechanisms for cheating had been largely taken away from them. Now, all these news outlets and pundits are trying to explain it away as if Harris did something disastrously wrong. See, I told you they were all going to throw her to the wolves to hide the crime they know was committed all along. Where are the votes? Everyone is asking. They never existed. And in an election where poll watchers were everywhere and we knew where to look because of the election fraud investigations that had taken place over the last four years, the Democrats couldn’t come close to duplicating their 2020 numbers, giving Trump a clean sweep on the popular vote. But he had that same mandate in 2020, and if he had been president, think of all the misery we wouldn’t have had to deal with. Think of all the illegal signatures on Biden’s documents that he signed, which have no meaning because he was not the rightly elected president. And this, again, is what the protestors of January 6^th were angry about, and here is the proof.

The proof of a major crime is right here. How clear does it have to be?

The prisoners were kept in jail, and anyone who questioned the results of the 2020 election were prosecuted, harassed, and deplatformed in terrible ways, and the message was that the government had counted the votes and picked your president. Shut up and go away if you want to live. And we were stuck with massive inflation, terrible energy policy, and a tyrannical government nanny state of criminal-minded despots who were willing to sell America out to any country paying money, especially communist China. Keeping the J6 prisoners in jail deliberately violating their Constitutional rights to a speedy and fair trial was intimidation with the intent of submission to a law-breaking culture. And when that assassin’s bullet did not kill Trump, the bad guys knew Trump was going to win the election not because of the great campaign that he was running but because he was going to still get around 75 million votes in 2024. But the Democrats, under any candidate, wouldn’t get out of the 60 millions. I think Kamala had around 69 million once all the smoke cleared, and the illegal immigrants of California were counted because they didn’t have to show voter ID. But without the drop boxes and the half a billion dollars of Facebook money paying for votes under loose COVID rules, Democrats knew they wouldn’t win that election. That’s why they had to keep Trump from running again because it would expose the crime they committed to knock him out of the Presidency the first time. And look at all they did to him to essentially hide their crime of election fraud. They could not afford a rematch between Trump and Biden because it would always expose them. And as it turned out, Trump performed precisely as he had. And Harris fell way short.

People have to pay for these crimes, so no matter how nice they are now because of the election results, they are still guilty of terrible things in 2020 that must be fixed. They ruined many lives because of their crime, especially the January 6^th prisoners. And there isn’t any amount of forgiveness that is permissible. Nobody let us have Trump back for 2024. He had to work hard, and many people had to have much courage to continue to support him when a very oppressive government was showing that they were willing to use the power of government to commit crimes and rule over people with intimidation. It was a dark chapter in American life that we will never forget. But now, because of the election of 2024, they have been caught and must pay for what they did—starting with the election results. Someone, actually, many people, have a lot of explaining to do. Where are the lost 12 million votes? How did a woman of color perform so much worse than an almost 80-year-old man at the time? If it was a few thousand votes, you might say people liked him more than her. But you can’t explain millions of votes because the number is so large that it skews all the previous numbers regarding analysis. For example, there wasn’t a single place where CNN put up an extensive board comparison of where Kamala outperformed Biden in the country. That’s not because Kamala was bad; it’s because Biden never had those lofty results. And in that way, every comparison between the two elections will always be tainted with insufficient data. Because the data was never accurate, and remember, I told everyone so all along. And I turned out to be entirely correct. This Biden government lied to us, and they committed many crimes, and they have to be punished for what they did, and then some. What they did is not forgivable. And every complicit sucker in the media is just as guilty.

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

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

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

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

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

Fentanyl is a Weapon of Mass Destruction: Countries that Hate America are purposfully trying to kill us through the drug trade

If I had to pick a president who most resembled the United States as a personality, I would say it would be President Grant. Grant was a great president and man, but his memory has been shaped by those who hate him. There were quite a few people who sought to take advantage of him because he was friendly and honest. There is nothing that we can do to make the world love us or even like us. There is a seething hatred of America by many in the world that is just a fact of life, and they have been planning our destruction aggressively since we started. That is a tough admission for many, but they must make it so we can solve these problems. We have talked about illegal immigration as a weapon of purposeful war, attacking America as a Cloward and Piven strategy of overwhelming the system so that it would force the overthrow and change of that system. The current fentanyl crisis on the drug abuse front is, without question, a military-scale attack that is the deliberate poisoning of our culture, intent for destruction. Like many people sadly can claim these days, I know many people who have lost someone they have loved to an overdose of fentanyl. However, the scale of the problem became apparent to me during the summer of 2024 when I was serving as the foreman for a grand jury in Butler County, Ohio. Out of the hundreds of cases I heard with a grand jury, most of them were drug cases that directly involved possessing and trafficking in fentanyl, and from that perspective, there is no doubt about the reason that poison is flooding our streets. It’s not a market fulfillment problem by mind-numb soothsayers seeking recreation through drug use, the way society has been framed to believe. It’s not a libertarian fantasy of “my body, my right” kind of thing that is protected by constitutional limits on government to crush individual desires. It’s a purposeful poisoning of American culture by the Mexican government in conjunction with the Chinese government and globalism behind those efforts to destroy their rivals on the world stage by wiping out entire generations of people.

If the purpose of war is to kill more of the other guy’s troops than you receive, and whoever says “uncle” first is determined to be the loser of the fight, then the drug saturation of American markets is the modern version of wartime activity against a nation that the aggressors are seeking to destroy. There is nothing patriotic about drug abuse, but we have been tricked into thinking so, much the way all kinds of well-seeming people scammed President Grant during his gullible lifetime. President Grant was friendly and honorable, and he couldn’t imagine that people would be up to no good because he never was. And throughout the emergence of American life, that is how the world has also come to know us. And they do hate us for it. So when they think about Americans, they plot and scheme for ways to deceive us and to wipe us from the face of the earth. That is the only intention of flooding our country with fentanyl, which hides behind a culture that uses our freedoms to prevent the military attack for what it truly is. The amount of fentanyl that is killing people maliciously because it’s a dangerous drug that is quickly passed around the party scene is genuinely alarming. It is the number one killer of adults 18 to 50 and has killed more people each year than all the wars we have had combined typically do. Nobody is talking about it because that is part of the plot, so the people they want to kill off don’t even realize it’s happening. So it doesn’t get much coverage, just as Kamala Harris doesn’t get scrutinized in the press. These are all people who hate us and want us dead. And fentanyl is one of their weapons of war.

We go through the motions of law enforcement regarding drug trafficking of fentanyl as if we were trying to tell our children not to touch a hot oven. As if we were teaching them a lifestyle choice that might prevent them from acquiring pain by their choices. Fentanyl distribution is far more dangerous than that. Hostile financial insurgents who have captured the governments of violent countries have purposely produced fentanyl to destroy those who consume it, and that is one of the significant dangers of an open border with a Marxist country in Mexico and why Canada is so dangerous. The desire to overthrow a capitalist rival for them is too tempting. China, as the largest communist country in the world, is certainly motivated by the same outcome. Fentanyl starts in China and is then mass-produced in Mexico by the cartels and then shipped straight into the United States through open borders seeking to attack the production-aged people and to cripple them with death and mind-destroying weapons of war distributed through a “party culture” that has its roots in the communist movement of corrupting the youth for state control. This trend was started by the Bolsheviks under Lenin while saturating Russia with communism at the turn of the last century. Drug use and distribution in this party culture was always the plan, and the mass killing of people was the known objective.

The worst thing that happened to President Grant at the end of his presidency was that after all his years of fame, he was easily hoodwinked by those he trusted who wanted to make money off his name. He ended up bankrupt at the end of his life; he trusted people with his investments, who lost them all in pyramid schemes that led to his destruction. And those seeking to deceive his excellent name and trust in other people essentially wiped away a life of much success. Many are at war with us in the world disguised as friendships, and they use that relationship for their strategic desires. They think the world has too many people, that we are a burden on the earth itself, and that we must be eliminated. And they control the governments of China and Mexico and are behind the globalist push for Marxism. And we have not met that aggressor for what they are worth. For me, seeing the massive amount of destruction fentanyl brings to our communities from the perspective of criminal conduct can only be viewed in one way: as a weapon of war. One of the things I am most looking forward to under the next Trump term in office is categorizing fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction because that is precisely what it is. We must fight it on those terms and no others because there is no other way to understand the use of fentanyl to destroy the cultures they are distributed to. China knows what they are doing and is purposely seeking to kill Americans. Mexico certainly sees it that way, and they are not our friends. These are hostile countries toward the United States, and they are looking at us all as suckers who will be too nice to them and allow them to be complicit in the murder of many of our people in a purposeful attempt to destroy our country from the inside out—disguised as a recreation, when in fact, it’s all been a weapon of war declared on us not from governments, but from the people who run them.
